GDPR declaration

[edit]

If you send us an application for WikidataCon, we will generally process your data as described in our privacy policy, available under: https://wikimedia.de/en/imprint.

Additionally, we will transfer data to the Wikimedia Foundation ("WMF" Wikimedia Foundation, Inc., 1 Montgomery Street Suite 1600, San Francisco, CA 94104), based in the USA since specific employees of the WMF are part of the organization team and scholarship committee. The areas the WMF supports us in are in particular the program submission and the general application process. But the WMF will also consult the scholarship committee especially by funding the scholarships. Finally, one of the aforementioned community members supporting our committee resides in the USA as well. Hence, by involving the community member, we will transfer data to the USA, too.

If you are applying for a scholarship, we may need additional personal data (e.g. contact data, travel and accommodation data, visa information, event and supply preferences as well as billing information) from you. If your application is successful, we will transfer this data to WMF as well for the purpose of consultation, organizing your visit and billing the event.

Any of the aforementioned disclosures are required to organize the WikidataCon and to ensure your participation in it. They are accordingly based in each case on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, except the transmission of personal data to the WMF and community members, residing in the USA, which will be based on your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. Since it is necessary for us to involve the committee as a whole, we will unfortunately not be able to allow you to participate, if you withhold your consent. However, you will still have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. For information on how to withdraw your consent, please refer to our general privacy policy mentioned above. Depending on when you withdraw your consent, we may have to exclude you from participating at the conference. The USA is a so-called "third country" outside the European Union. Its level of legal protection in the processing of personal data is not equivalent to that of the EU. Therefore, no guarantee can be given that your data will be protected as fully as in the European Union or that you will have the same rights with regard to its processing.
