We process your personal data in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR/DSGVO) and the Austrian Data Protection Act as amended.
The purposes of the data processing depend primarily on the legal necessity, the administrative handling and the association advertising (demonstrative enumeration):
- for the fulfilment of contractual obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit b DSGVO) -
e.g. member administration - for the fulfilment of legal obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO) -
e.g. data transfer to the financial administration for automatic deduction of donations according to § 18 (8) EstG (German Income Tax Act) - within the scope of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit a DSGVO)
If you have given us your consent to process your personal data for certain purposes (e.g. for the sending of a newsletter) a processing will only take place in accordance with the purposes specified in the declaration of consent and to the extent agreed therein. A given consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
- to safeguard legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit f DSGVO)
The Charity only shares its data with the parties listed below or with trustworthy third parties (e.g. the tax authorities for automatic donation deductibility). Recipients of the personal data include employees of Raiffeisen Bank International AG (RBI) who volunteer for the Charity and who need this data exclusively to fulfil the purpose of the association. Depending on the purpose of the processing, the Charity also passes on data to contract processors commissioned by it (RaiseNow) if this is necessary for the fulfilment of the task.
Your data will not be transferred to countries outside the European Union.
Automated decision making and profiling do not take place.
Your personal data will be stored for as long as necessary or for the duration of the association's activities as well as in accordance with the statutory retention periods or until the expiry of the applicable warranty, statute of limitations and statutory retention periods within which claims may be made.

Unless your request is accompanied by a legal obligation to store data, you have a right to deletion of your data. Data stored by us will be deleted if they are no longer needed for their intended purpose and there are no legal retention periods. If deletion cannot be carried out because the data is required for permissible legal purposes, data processing will be restricted. In this case, the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes.
If the persons concerned do not consent to the storage of their personal data, the data must be deleted. Consequently, this data can no longer be used to fulfil the purpose of the association. A given consent for the storage of personal data can be revoked at any time.
