• operating system used

The data is processed in order to provide our website securely and free of technical faults. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in providing our website securely and in working order.

3. Membership application

We provide a membership application form on our website. It can be filled in online and then submitted by email to Förderverein der Integrativen Kita Lerchenberg e.V.

In connection with the membership application we process in particular:

• first and last name
• postal address
• Email address
• a telephone number, where provided voluntarily
• the membership fee chosen
• the date of the membership application
• where a SEPA direct debit mandate is granted, the name of the account holder and the IBAN

The data is processed in order to handle the application for admission, to decide on admission and, once admitted, to operate and administer the membership. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

The completed membership application is transmitted by email to info@foerderverein-kita-lerchenberg.de. In accordance with the statutes of the association, the board decides on admission as a member.

4. SEPA direct debit mandate and fee payments

If you grant us a SEPA direct debit mandate as part of your membership application, we process in particular the name of the account holder, the IBAN, the mandate reference, the amount of the membership fee and information about payments made.

This data is processed in order to administer and collect the membership fees and to carry out the SEPA direct debit procedure. The data required for this purpose is transmitted to the credit institutions involved. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

5. Contacting us by email

If you contact us by email, we process the personal data you provide in order to handle your enquiry. Depending on the content of the enquiry, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR or Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in dealing with the enquiries addressed to us.

The data is deleted once the enquiry in question has been dealt with conclusively and no statutory retention obligations or other legitimate grounds for further storage apply.

6. Recipients of personal data

Personal data is only passed on where this is necessary to fulfil the purposes stated or where there is a legal obligation to do so. Recipients may include in particular:

• the board members responsible for member administration
• the persons responsible for the accounts

• the hosting provider of the website
• where applicable, the technical provider of the online membership application

Where external service providers process personal data on our behalf, the necessary data protection agreements are concluded. Personal data is not passed on or sold for advertising purposes unrelated to the association.

7. Storage period

We store personal data only for as long as is necessary to process the membership application, to operate and administer the membership and to handle the membership fees.

After the membership ends, the data is deleted unless statutory retention, evidence or documentation obligations require otherwise. Data subject to statutory retention obligations is stored for the duration of the respective statutory period and then deleted.

If an application for admission is rejected or not pursued further, the data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for processing and there are no legal grounds for further storage.
