In order to ensure the confidentiality of the competition entries submitted in the context of the "Businessplan-Wettbewerb Berlin-Brandenburg 2025" (hereinafter referred to as "BPW"), I undertake,

to ensure that the above points are also observed by persons in my environment.
to involve employees and consultants in the fulfillment of my engagement only if they have submitted a declaration of confidentiality corresponding to this declaration.

Confidential information and documents in this sense are all personal, business, technical, financial or other information disclosed by contest participants, in particular by submitting their contest entry within the framework of the BPW - in whatever way - as well as by presenting the business idea.

Information that is already generally known or becomes generally known without violating the above points or is disclosed by third parties without violating a confidentiality obligation is not considered confidential. Furthermore, data is not considered confidential if the contest participants have agreed to its disclosure or if data has been disclosed by third parties with the consent of the contest participants.
