Data Privacy

The provider of this website takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and according to legal data protection legislation and this privacy policy.

The use of our website is usually possible without the submission of personal data. If we ask for personal data (e.g. name, address or email address) this will be on a voluntary basis where possible. This data will not be forwarded to third parties without your consent.

We point out that data transfer on the Internet (e.g. communication via email) may have security gaps. Complete security against the access of third parties is not possible.

We use personal information from members to provide the membership (e.g. send invitations to AGMs, collect the membership fee, the organisation of events) and donors for donation management. The use of personal data usually occurs according to the necessity to fulfil a contact according to Art. 6 paragraph 1b of GDPR. These contracts are mainly memberships in the association and donation management.

Member’s and donor’s bank details are transferred to Sparkasse KölnBonn for the purpose of debit orders only.

The personal data of members will be saved for the duration of the membership. Upon completion of the membership data will be saved another ten years in accordance with the legal storage period and then it will be deleted. In the time between the membership ending and the deletion of data, the usage of the data is limited. Some data (first name, surname, membership) will be stored for the purpose of association history, due to a legitimate interest. All other data (e.g. bank details, address, contact details) will be deleted when the membership ends. The personal data of the donors will be saved ten years according to the legal storage period.

The affected persons have the following rights:

right of information according to Art. 15 GDPR,
right to retification according to Art. 16 GDPR,
right to erasure according to Art.17 GDPR,
right to restriction of processing according to Art. 18 GDPR,
right to data portability according to Art. 20 GDPR,
right to object according to Art. 21 GDPR,
right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority according to Art. 77 GDPR
right to withdraw an acceptance at any time without affecting the legitimacy of the data usage based on acceptance until the withdrawal

According to Section 26 of the German Civil Code, the Board is accountable for the adherence of the terms of data protection law. The Board ensures that the records of processing activities according to Art. 30 GDPR are maintained and that the information regulations according to Art. 13 and 14 GDPR are fulfilled. The Board is responsible for replying to requests for information.

Personal data will not be released without the permission of the individual concerned.
