Privacy policy

As the operator of these pages, we take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.

As a rule, it is possible to use our website without providing personal data. However, personal data is collected in the course of your registration. For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, we use SSL encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Earmarking

The mandatory data collected during registration are collected for the 1. administration of your membership and are necessary for this purpose. The address data and all other information that you provide voluntarily in the member mask will also be visible in the member directory on the homepage 2. for registered members. Non-registered members cannot see any member data.

The address data is also used for 3. mailing lists with which current information and our newsletter are sent to you. These addresses are also used for 4. surveys, these are local address lists of the GfV administration, the data are not stored on any other servers. The address data will also be 5. passed on to service providers who organise conferences for membership matching. We make sure that these service providers also work in a DSGVO-compliant manner.

Your data will not be used for any other purposes. The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Article 6 EU-DSGVO.

Right to information, deletion, blocking

You have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correct, block or delete this data. You can object to the use of your address data in cases 2 to 4 by sending us an informal mail to gfv-freiburg@uniklinik-freiburg.de. This objection does not affect your membership of the GfV.

Please understand that the administrative burden for volunteers is high and we therefore have to combine points 2 to 4. If you withdraw consent to the use of your data for purposes 2 to 4, your membership will remain unaffected, however you will no longer be able to log on to the homepage and accordingly access member pages and content, such as discount codes. Your participation in conferences, committees, etc. remains unaffected, but the organisers cannot match your address details with your membership, which may lead to delays in registration.

An ordinary termination of your membership leads to the deletion of all your data without further request, this can be done as before by writing to the secretary or by sending an email to GfV@kgu.de (Statutes §3 Pkt3. http://www.g-f-v.org/satzung).

You can contact us at any time about this and other questions on the subject of personal data at the contact address given in the imprint or below.
