Privacy Policy

1. Preamble

Welcome to our website! We attach great importance to protecting your data and safeguarding your privacy. Below, we would like to explain what data we process, when and for what purpose, and on what legal basis. The aim is to explain how our services work and how the protection of your personal data is guaranteed.

According to Art. 4(1) GDPR, personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. A natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly. Further information on this can be found in Art. 4(1) GDPR, among other places.

This privacy policy can be accessed, saved and printed at any time at https://www.vmwd.org/privacy-policy.

If we cite our legitimate interest or the legitimate interest of a third party (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR) as the legal basis for the processing of personal data, you have the right to object in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR:

to object to the processing of personal data at any time. We will then no longer process the personal data for direct marketing purposes or related profiling.

We will also not process your personal data for other purposes after an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (cf. Art. 21(1) GDPR, known as the "restricted right to object"). In this case, you must provide reasons for the objection that arise from your particular situation.

You may also object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation, for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest (cf. Art. 21(6) GDPR).

We will also inform you separately about your right to object in the individual sections (e.g. with the note: "You have the right to object"), if this right exists. There you will also find further information on exercising your right to object. In order to keep the following privacy policy clear, we refer to information and privacy notices on external websites (see also the section "External links" in this privacy policy) via links in various places. We make every effort to keep the links we provide in this privacy policy up to date. However, due to the constant updating of websites, it cannot be ruled out that links may not function correctly. If you notice such a link, we would be grateful if you could let us know so that we can update the link.
