Data processed by this platform
- Account and business profile data you enter when registering (name, email, phone, company, address, VAT ID).

Voice search (Microsoft Azure OpenAI)
If a logged-in user uses the microphone button, the recording is sent to Microsoft Azure OpenAI (EU region) to convert speech to text and to suggest search filters. The recording is not stored by Trade-werk and is discarded after processing.
Page translation (Google Translate, optional)
The "Translate" button in the header offers machine translation by Google Translate (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Nothing is loaded from or sent to Google unless you click "Switch on Google Translate" (consent, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). After that, the text of the pages you view and your IP address are transmitted to Google; Google may set cookies (e.g. "googtrans") and data may be transferred to the USA. Your choice is stored in your browser. You can withdraw it at any time with "Show original & switch off".
The WhatsApp button is a simple link: nothing is loaded from WhatsApp on this website. Only when you click it, WhatsApp (WhatsApp Ireland Limited / Meta) opens with a pre-filled message to our business number; from then on WhatsApp's privacy policy applies to your conversation and data may be transferred to the USA. Using WhatsApp is voluntary – you can also contact us by email or phone (see Imprint).
Cookies
Only technically necessary cookies are used (session and security token, and "tw_expo_closed", which remembers that you closed the exhibition notice and is deleted when you close your browser). No tracking or advertising cookies. If you switch on Google Translate, Google sets its own cookies (see above).
