Privacy policy

This privacy policy applies to the website euro20plus.de. We adhere strictly to the provisions of the applicable German and European data protection laws, in particular of the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Controller

The controller responsible for processing your personal data within the meaning of Article 4(7) of the GDPR is:

Deutsche Bundesbank
Postfach 10 06 02
60006 Frankfurt am Main
Germany

Data collection, processing, use and possible disclosure of personal data to third parties

We do not usually require you to provide any personal data when you access the Bundesbank’s websites. Certain data are saved in a log file (see section “Use of cookies”) and are used solely to optimise our websites and for statistical purposes.

Data submitted in email queries are used only to respond to such queries and are stored for a maximum of two years after processing has been completed.

Data processing for registration and participation in the euro20+ event

When you apply to take part in Euro20+ using the registration form, your data will be processed solely for this purpose and will be deleted no later than six months after the event. Should it be necessary to pass on your registration data for the event, you will be informed of this separately.

You can register to apply for the Euro20+ event on the website. To register, you must provide us with the following data:

• first and last name;
• email address;
• date of birth;
• ​​​​​​​gender;
• postcode and town/city;
• ​​​​​​​occupation, training programme or course of study;
• reasons for application.
• ​​​​​​​Optionally, you can also submit a profile picture and links to your social media accounts.

Before you submit your registration, we will ask you whether you consent to the processing of your data. The legal basis for this is your consent pursuant to Article 6(1) sentence 1 point (a) of the GDPR.

If your application was successful and you have confirmed your acceptance, you will be presented as a participant on our website with a short participant profile (first name, profile picture, place of residence).

Further details in your profile will only be visible to other participants who have likewise successfully applied via the application platform and confirmed their participation. These include last name, age, occupation, training programme or course of study, as well as any links to your social media accounts.

Your complete profile is visible only to the employees of the host entrusted with running Euro20+. In each case, the legal basis for processing these data is your consent pursuant to Article 6(1) sentence 1 point (a) of the GDPR, which we will request during the course of the registration process.

We will not disclose your data to third parties without your express consent unless this is required by law, owing to a court decision or in connection with legal or criminal proceedings following an attack on the Bundesbank’s internet infrastructure. Data will not be disclosed for other non-commercial or commercial purposes.

In cases where the Bundesbank engages third parties, as outlined in this privacy policy, they must also undertake to observe the relevant data protection provisions.

Deletion and blocking of data

We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data minimisation, and thus store your personal data for only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes listed here or in accordance with the various data retention periods provided by law. After the respective purpose ceases to apply, or after these retention periods have expired, the corresponding data are routinely deleted or blocked in accordance with the legal provisions.

The personal data that you have used to apply for our event will be processed solely for this purpose and will be deleted no later than six months after the end of the event. With respect to any and all data processing that we conduct on the basis of the consent that you have provided, we will delete your personal data as soon as you have withdrawn your consent from us and no later than six months after the end of the event.
