Information on the processing of personal data
We process access data on our website and save them temporarily for a duration of 26 months. We only process personal data if you have given your explicit consent, for example if you have participated in one of the Genshagen Foundation’s events or would like to do so in the future. If you do not want to provide any personal data you will not be able to use our offers to a full extent or we will have difficulties in the implementation of the events, which could mean that you might not be able to attend eventually.

Purposes
We process your personal data

- when you visit our website
- to inform you about events via mail or email
- in order for you to be able to participate in our events
- in order to stay in touch with you so we can fulfil the tasks and duties of the Genshagen Foundation

The purposes listed above are subject to change. We only collect the data necessary for the specific purpose (“data minimisation” according to Art. 5 (1) (c) EU GDPR). Without your consent, your data will not be disclosed to third parties, unless it is required in order to fulfil contractual or legal commitments. Your data will only be saved for as long as necessary for the specific purpose (Art. 5 (1) (e) EU GDPR). The data retention periods usually are 6 to 10 years (in the case of property damage sometimes up to 30 years).

What happens to my personal data?

1. Visiting our website
When you visit our website, access data will be saved in a log file. This file contains browser type and version, used operating system, information on the website you are visiting, date and time of the access, and your IP address. This type of processing helps us monitor the website, for example to find potential bugs in our web pages. We do not link the data contained in the log file with individuals. However, we reserve the right to access the data if certain facts give us reason to believe users are using our pages and/or services unlawfully or contrary to contract. This allows us to protect our users, data, and our web pages and services. We process these data according to Art. 6 (f) GDPR (legitimate interest by the controller).

2. Information on events
If you have given us explicit permission, we will send you information on our events. This includes symposiums, working groups, conferences, junior projects, and other projects that might be of interest to you. In this context, we process personal information (name, surname) and your contact and address data.

If you no longer want to receive information you can always send us an email or a letter to object the processing of your data.

3. Participation in our events
If you participate in our events you agree to the processing of your personal data (personal information, contact details, address, occupation, function, and any other data that you might share with us). Your data is processed for the implementation and conduction of our event.

We reserve the right to take pictures and/or make video recordings during our events. These will be used for public relations and publications. If you do not wish to be photographed or recorded, please tell us during the registration for the event and let the photographer know if you do not want your picture taken. If we make video recordings during the event, we can show you a part of the conference room that will not be in the picture – please ask us at the event. During our events we make sure to clearly show if pictures and/or videos are being taken.
If you want to revoke your consent to the processing, you can inform us by mail or email at any time.

4. Contact with you
We get in touch with you via e-mail, mail and/or telephone in order to prepare, implement and/or follow up on our events. We contact you according to the consent you have given us.

If you contact us via e-mail, mail, or telephone, we save the information the user provides for contacting processing reasons. Your data is not disclosed to third parties.

If you wish not to be contacted by us, you can always let us know under the contact details listed above.

5. Disclosure of personal data to third parties
In general, we do not disclose personal data to unauthorised third parties. This applies in particular to the disclosure of personal data for commercial reasons. If you are using personalised services of our offer, it can however be necessary to collect personalised data and to disclose them to service providers (processors) in order to conduct our services. These data will however only be saved or disclosed to the extent necessary for the conduction. You will be asked to give your explicit consent when filling out the respective forms. Third parties to which your data will be disclosed in the context of the processing are bound to legal regulations on treatment of personal data and are under contractual obligation, according to applicable data protection laws and regulations. If required by law or by court order, we may transfer the data to the respective authorised authorities.

6. Transfer to third countries
A transfer of your personal data to third countries does not take place and is not intended to take place.

7. Video Conferences
Below, we will inform you about the various options at your disposal to get in touch with us via video conferencing. This can sometimes be required, for example in the context of our business or customer relationship. If we want to use this option with you, we will do so according to our contractual relationship under Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
For some specific events, we record video conferences. We will always explicitly inform you about this. The recording will only happen with your consent according to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Please deactivate your camera and microphone if you do not consent.
Using these services, it is possible that personal data will be transferred to servers in third countries, like the USA. Due to a ruling by the European Court of Justice, stating that the EU US Privacy Shield was invalid (16 July 2020), we cannot guarantee an adequate level of data protection comparable to that required in the European Union.
