If you contact us by email, we process the data you send us, in particular your name, your email address and the content of your message. Processing takes place solely to handle your enquiry and, where applicable, to carry out pre-contractual measures, based on Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR. We delete your data once it is no longer needed to handle your enquiry, unless statutory retention obligations or other legitimate grounds prevent deletion.

5. Membership and member administration

When you apply for membership, we process the data required for admission and administration. This may include name, address, date of birth, contact details, type of membership and, where applicable, details of family members and payment data. For minor members we also process the necessary details of their legal guardians. Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR to establish and perform the membership and on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR to comply with legal obligations. Member data is generally stored for the duration of the membership and deleted afterwards, unless statutory retention obligations or legitimate grounds for further storage apply. Data is disclosed only where necessary for the administration of the association, required by law or otherwise lawful.

6. Volunteering and events

If you register as a volunteer or sign up for an event, we process the details needed for organisation, in particular name, contact details, interests, availability and, where applicable, age-related information. Depending on the specific purpose, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR or, for voluntary additional information, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. The data is not used for other purposes unless there is a separate legal basis.

7. Photos and videos

Photos and videos may be taken at our events for documentation and public relations. Where required, we obtain prior consent before publishing identifiable individual images. Special protection requirements apply to the publication of photos and videos of minors. We obtain the required consent of legal guardians and, where appropriate, also take the child’s consent into account. Consent that has been given can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

We currently do not use any analytics, marketing or tracking services. Fonts, the events calendar and all other content are delivered from our own website; no external fonts, maps or videos are embedded.
