Data Privacy Statement
In the digital age, maintaining privacy and data protection is of utmost importance. Here's a breakdown of how data is handled in events and the Secure Traveling app, focusing on the rights of individuals and the measures in place to ensure privacy.
For press and public relations purposes, photographs are taken and published at events and appointments. However, individuals have the right to object to the recording and/or publication of their image. This is a fundamental right that allows individuals to control their own image and likeness.
The Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (Bundesdatenschutzbeauftragter), Ulrich Kelber, oversees data protection matters for the Federal Foreign Office and German missions abroad. If you have concerns about how your personal data is being processed, you have the right to lodge a complaint with this supervisory authority.
When it comes to events, personal data such as name, address, etc., are processed for organizing and processing events. This data is stored for as long as necessary for event organization and public relations tasks. In some cases, data may be transmitted to cooperation partners for proper event processing.
In the Secure Traveling app, local data storage includes app version, favourite countries, and settings. Additionally, data collected and processed in the app include FCM Token, device and app information, IP address, usage data & events. However, rest assured that data from the app is used solely for providing app functionalities and in accordance with data protection regulations.
If you order printed materials through the website, personal data including name, street, house number, postal code and city, email address are required for processing. Please note that data transmitted for orders are deleted 90 days after processing.
If the processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time. Furthermore, you have the right to information, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, objection to processing, and withdrawal of consent regarding your personal data processed by them.
Recipients of letters/invitations can object to the sending of further letters/invitations at any time. Data provided for unprocessable orders may be passed on to third parties such as shipping companies, authorities, or institutions.
Lastly, it's worth noting that if you follow a link from the app to a website, data protection provisions of that website apply. Always ensure to read and understand the privacy policies of any websites you visit.
In conclusion, both events and the Secure Traveling app prioritise data protection and privacy. By understanding your rights and the measures in place, you can make informed decisions about how your personal data is used.
