Data protection
The owners of these websites take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal information confidentially and in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations and this privacy statement.

Right of data portability
You have the right to receive the data that we have processed automatically based on your consent or in compliance with a contract in a conventional, machine-readable format, or that the data are transmitted by us to a third party. We can only directly transmit data to a third party if requested by you if this is technically feasible.

SSL encryption
Several pages of this platform already apply SSL encryptions. This happens for safety reasons and for a protected transmission of confidential contents, for instance, event registrations or requests addressed to us as the site owner. An indicator of SSL encryption can be a change in the address line of the browser from http:// to, as well as the lock symbol in your browser line.
Once the SSL encryption is enabled, third parties no longer have access to the data that you transmit to us.

Information, blocking, deletion
Within the scope of the applicable legal regulations, you have the right at any moment to receive information free of charge on stored personal data, their source, recipients, and purpose of data processing. Furthermore, where appropriate, you have the right to correct, blocking or delete these data.

Disclosure of data
We will principally not disclose personal user data to third parties for commercial or non-commercial purposes without your express consent. We only disclose your personal data to third parties if this is permitted by the law (as based on article 6 DSGVO) and/or legally required.
We partially use external service providers for the legally required processing of data. However, we still take full responsibility for the processing of data.
Furthermore, we partially use plugins of other providers on our website that will be described separately in more detail in this privacy statement.

Print media and public relations
In the context of statutory events, we may publish personal data and photos of the participants as part of our press and public relations work, for instance in print media, on the internet, or in social media. Inter alia, this may concern symposia, congresses, elections of the executive board. This may also concern lecturers, general assembly members, executive board members, and other officials who participate in other events. The publication of personal data is limited to the name, position, and event. The legal basis is Article 6, paragraph 1 S. 1 lit.

Cookies
The internet pages partially use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. The use of cookies serves the purpose to make our digital content more user-friendly, effective, and safe. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies that we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted after your visit to our website. Other cookies are saved on your computer device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser at your next visit to our website. You can reset your browser to get information on the use of cookies and have the option to only allow cookies in certain cases, to refuse cookie applications in certain cases, or generally or activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, however, the functionality of this website can be restricted.
Cookies that are needed for the electronic communication processor in order to provide certain functions desired by you are saved as laid down by article 6, paragraph 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website owner has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies in order to provide all web services technically error-free and in an ideal form. If other cookies (for instance cookies for the analysis of your surfing habits) are stored, we will deal with them separately in this privacy statement.

Server log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information via so-called server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. This comprises the following:
Browser type and version
Used operating system
Referrer URL
Hostname of the accessing computer
Time of server request
IP address

Contact form
If you transmit us a request via our contact form, we save the information provided in the contact form including the contact details indicated in this form in order to process your request and for the case of follow-up questions. We do not disclose these data to third parties without your express consent.
Thus, we process the data that you have inserted in the contact form as per your consent (article 6, paragraph 1 lit. a DSGVO). You have the right to revoke this consent at any moment. To this end, it would suffice to send us an informal message via e-mail. The legality of the data processing before the revocation remains unaffected from such a revocation. We reserve the right to use your address details to send you additional information offers, for instance, if this serves to fulfill our statutory purposes.
We will store the data that you inserted in our contact form until you instruct us to delete them, revoke your consent to the storage of data or the initial purpose of the data storage becomes obsolete. All mandatory statutory provisions – especially retention periods - remain unaffected by this.

Protection of your personal data in case of online donations
If you make an online donation, your donation is processed via secure and encrypted data transmission. In order to process your donation, we need your name and address as well as some mandatory details on bank/credit card debit. When you have inserted your data in the donation form and submitted this form to us, the data are transmitted to us via a secure SSL connection. You will then receive a notification once the donation amount has been debited from your account.
We use external service providers for processing incoming donations. These service providers have been contractually committed by the MWI to observe the legal provisions on data protection. They may only use personal data for the authorized purpose of the correct processing of your donation.

If you want to receive newsletters that we offer on our website, only your e-mail address is required for the subscription. You can then confirm the newsletter subscription via a registration link that we subsequently send you via e-mail. We will not collect any further data in this context. We will only use the collected data to send you the requested information and will not transmit the data to any third parties. We will process the data you have inserted in the newsletter subscription form according to your given consent (article 6, paragraph 1 lit. a DSGVO). You have the right to revoke your consent to the storage of data and your e-mail address and to the use for the dispatch of the newsletter at any time, for instance via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing before the revocation remains unaffected from such a revocation.
We will store the data you have provided to us in the context of your newsletter subscription until your unsubscription from the newsletter. Once you have unsubscribed from the newsletter, we will delete your data. All data that we have stored for other purposes (for instance e-mail addresses for the member section), remain unaffected by this.

There will be no transmission of data to third parties, for commercial or non-commercial purposes, without your express permission. We will only transmit your personal data to third parties if this is permitted by the law (as for instance by article 6 DSGVO) and/or legally required. We partially use external service providers for the statutory processing of data. For instance, our website is hosted by synaix Gesellschaft für angewandte Informations-Technologien mbH, Im Süsterfeld 6, 52072 Aachen, E-Mail: post@synaix.de, and the maintenance of the website is done by Mr. Claus Coviello, Königskinderweg 22, 30179 Hannover, E-Mail: info@webseiten-mit-sinn.de as well as by the MWI. However, we take full responsibility for the processing of data. Furthermore, we partly use plugins of further service providers on our website; please see below for further information.

OpenStreetMap
In the “Category” section, you will find a dynamic map provided by “OpenStreetMap” (https://www.openstreetmap.de) that is offered by the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) based on the Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL).
For the privacy statement as well as further information, please revert to: wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy).
OpenStreetMap only uses the user data for the purposes of providing the map functions and for the intermediate storage of chosen settings. These data can include IP addresses as well as user site data that, however, are not collected without their consent (generally this consent is given when defining the settings of their mobile devices). The data can be processed in the USA.

Facebook
On our website, there is the option to load Facebook content via interfaces. The provider is Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. When the respective websites are visited, Facebook gets information as to the web pages you have visited over your IP address. If you are logged in as a Facebook user, these activities are attributed to your personal Facebook user account. When using the plugin functions, also this kind of information is attributed to your Facebook account. You have the option to prevent this by logging out of this account before using the plugins.

You Tube
Our website uses plugins of the website www.youtube.com. The owner of the website is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. If you visit one of our websites that are equipped with the YouTube plugin, a connection with the YouTube servers will be established. The YouTube server will get information as to which of our web pages you have visited. If you are logged in with your YouTube account, you permit YouTube to attribute your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. We use YouTube to enable an appealing presentation of our online content. This interest on our end is legitimate according to § 6, paragraph 1 lit. g KDG. For further information on the handling of user data, please revert to YouTube’s privacy statement under: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
