We process personal data only in accordance with legal regulations. All employees and volunteers of the WABEO platform are committed to confidentiality and secrecy. Only the website can be used without registration, the portal cannot. You do not need to provide any personal data to use the website and can use it without revealing your identity. Only when You register do we ask for Your contact details. Here You can read to what extent we process these personal data.

Description of Processing Personal Data

To provide our services, we use IT systems on our websites in which we process the personal data described in more detail below. For the processing of personal data, we obtain consent from the data subject in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a of the GDPR.

The processing of personal data necessary to fulfill the contract for verification as an election observer takes place according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b of the GDPR. This also applies to pre-contractual measures. Insofar as processing of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation to which our association is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis. If the processing of Your data is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our association or a third party and our interests outweigh Yours, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR applies. If the processing takes place with suitable guarantees without profit-making purposes in the context of our association activities and/or election observation and by persons with whom we are contractually connected in relation to WABEO, and the data is not disclosed without repeated consent of the data subjects, Art. 9 para. 2 lit. d applies.

We reserve the right to pass on Your personal data within our team and/or to the service providers commissioned by us to implement the WABEO platform, provided this is lawful according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR after weighing all interests or such transfer is necessary. We only pass on Your personal data to third parties with Your consent and in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, e.g. if You have confirmed Your interest in further services or events. Then we may pass the data on to executing service providers. Otherwise, we only pass on Your data to third parties if we are legally obliged to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR or if this is necessary in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. This applies, for example, to payment connection and transfers. Depending on the payment service provider, we pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution commissioned with the payment or the payment service provider commissioned by us. In some cases, payment service providers also collect the necessary data themselves if You create or have created an account there. In this case, the privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies.

Data Deletion and Storage Period

Your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. If the legislator requires storage beyond this in regulations, laws or other provisions to which we are subject, also beyond this. The data will then be deleted when the prescribed storage period expires, unless storage is still necessary for contract fulfillment.

Description and Scope of Data Processing on our Website

When accessing our website www.wabeo.org, information is automatically sent from the browser on Your device to the server of our website. This is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is stored by default and automatically and deleted after a certain time:

  • IP address of Your computer
  • Date and time of access
  • Name and URL of the retrieved page/file
  • Referrer URL of the website from which You access
  • Browser and operating system of Your device
  • Your provider

The data contained in the log files, such as the IP address, allows an assignment to You as a user.

Purpose of Data Processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to Your computer. For this, the IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. Storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serves us to optimize the website and ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

Legal Basis for Data Processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Duration of Storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection. In the case of collecting data for providing the website, this is the case when the respective session is ended. In the case of storing data in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of users are deleted or anonymized so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

Registration on our Website

On our website, we offer users the opportunity to register by providing personal data. The data is entered into an input mask and transmitted to us and stored. The data will not be passed on to third parties. The following data is collected during the registration process:

  • E-mail address
  • First and last name
  • Address
  • Date of birth

At the time of registration, the following data is also stored:

  • IP address of the user
  • Date and time of registration

As part of the registration process, consent to the processing of this data is obtained from the user.

Legal Basis for Data Processing

The legal basis for processing data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given consent. If registration serves to fulfill a contract to which the user is a party or to implement pre-contractual measures, the additional legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Purpose of Data Processing

User registration is necessary for the provision of certain content and services on our website. User registration is required for the fulfillment of a contract with the user or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Duration of Storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection. This is the case for data collected during the registration process if the registration on our website is cancelled or changed. This is the case for data collected during the registration process to fulfill a contract or to implement pre-contractual measures if the data is no longer required for contract fulfillment. Even after the contract has ended, it may be necessary to store personal data of the contracting party in order to comply with contractual or legal obligations.

Your Rights as a Data Subject

If Your personal data is processed, You are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and You have the following rights vis-à-vis the responsible party:

Right to Information

You can request confirmation from the responsible party as to whether personal data concerning You is being processed by us. If such processing exists, You can request information from the responsible party about the following information:

  • the purposes for which the personal data is processed;
  • the categories of personal data that are processed;
  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning You has been or will be disclosed;
  • the planned duration of storage of personal data concerning You or, if specific information is not possible, criteria for determining the storage period;
  • the existence of a right to correction or deletion of personal data concerning You, a right to restriction of processing by the responsible party or a right to object to this processing;
  • the existence of a right of complaint to a supervisory authority;
  • all available information about the origin of the data if the personal data is not collected from the data subject;
  • the existence of automated decision-making including profiling according to Art. 22 para. 1 and 4 GDPR and - at least in these cases - meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information about whether personal data concerning You is being transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, You can request to be informed about the appropriate guarantees according to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

Right to Rectification

You have a right to correction and/or completion vis-à-vis the responsible party if the processed personal data concerning You is incorrect or incomplete. The responsible party must make the correction immediately.

Right to Restriction of Processing

Under the following conditions, You can request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning You:

  • if You dispute the accuracy of the personal data concerning You for a period that enables the responsible party to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
  • the processing is unlawful and You refuse the deletion of the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data;
  • the responsible party no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but You need it for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims, or
  • if You have lodged an objection to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate reasons of the responsible party outweigh Your reasons.

If the processing of personal data concerning You has been restricted, this data may - apart from its storage - only be processed with Your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a member state. If the processing restriction has been restricted according to the above conditions, You will be informed by the responsible party before the restriction is lifted.

Right to Deletion

You can request that the responsible party delete the personal data concerning You immediately, and the responsible party is obliged to delete this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

  • The personal data concerning You is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
  • You revoke Your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  • You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing, or You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.
  • The personal data concerning You has been processed unlawfully.
  • The deletion of personal data concerning You is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the member states to which the responsible party is subject.
  • The personal data concerning You was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning You that You have provided to the responsible party in a structured, common and machine-readable format. In addition, You have the right to transmit this data to another responsible party without hindrance from the responsible party to whom the personal data was provided, provided that:

  • the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and
  • the processing is carried out using automated procedures.

In exercising this right, You also have the right to request that the personal data concerning You be transmitted directly from one responsible party to another responsible party, insofar as this is technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this. The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the responsible party.

Right to Complain to a Supervisory Authority

Art. 77 GDPR provides for the possibility of complaint to a supervisory authority. You can contact the supervisory authority of Your place of residence or work or in Weimar (Thuringia).

Revocation of Data Protection Consent Declaration and Right to Object

You have the right to revoke Your data protection consent declaration at any time in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. After that, we may no longer process Your data in the future. We may only do so with Your consent. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of data processing carried out up to the revocation. In the case of direct advertising, such as our newsletter, You have a general right to object, which we will implement without specifying a particular situation. Even if Your personal data is lawfully processed in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, You have the right to object to the processing of Your personal data in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR, insofar as there are reasons for this arising from Your particular situation. After Your objection, we will no longer process Your personal data in this case, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override Your interests. If You wish to exercise Your right of revocation, simply send a corresponding message to datenschutz@wabeo.de.

Data Security

We use the widespread SSL procedure (Secure Socket Layer) on our website in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by Your browser. Whether an individual page of our website is transmitted encrypted can be seen by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the browser line. We use technical and organizational security measures to protect Your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorized access by third parties. We continuously develop these in accordance with technological developments.
