6. Data processing: Registration and Participation – Final Conference

The following information answers the questions of how we will process your personal data for your participation at public events and workshops organized within the scope of the EU funded project MIMY - Migrant Youth Integration & Empowerment (GA no. 870700).

Which sources and data are used?

We process personal data (Art. 4 no. 2 GDPR), i. e. full name, institution, e-mail address, contact details of the holder of parental responsibility, meal preferences as well as and your additional registrations for associated events (dinner, walk, workshops) that we offer, which we receive from you within the scope of your registration for the final conference.

Provided that you/ holder of parental responsibility have/has given your consent before – that we collect within your registration to the event – we process pictures and audio-visual materials on which individuals may be identified.

Why do we process your data (purpose of processing) and what is the legal basis?

We process personal data in accordance with the provisions under the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (BDSG)).

a. To meet contractual obligations (Art. 6 para. 1b GDPR)
Your registration data is processed for the purpose of the initiation, performance and conclusion of a contract and the related secondary obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR). These data are processed with the purpose of identifying you as a participant to the event, for reserving a place for you, preparing a participants’ list and for enabling the planning and guarantee of a smooth operation of the event. Subsequent to the event, a participants’ list is needed to document towards the European Commission that the event actually took place and will be stored for a period of five years after the payment of the balance according to the MIMY Grant Agreement article 18.1.

b. Based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1a GDPR)
To the extent that you have given your consent for the processing of your/the child for whom you are the holder of parental responsibility personal data with regard to taking pictures in the course of the event and the publishing of such pictures, the processing is considered lawful on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para 1a GDPR). Pictures are taken for the purpose of documenting the event as well as for preparing communication material to promote project activities. This includes graphic editing and publication of photographs in relation to “MIMY” project communication materials such as news entries on the project website and electronic newsletter as well graphic editing and publication of photographs on Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube. A consent that has been given can be withdrawn at any time by yourself/the holder of parental responsibility over the child for the child’s pictures and audio-visual recordings by sending an e-mail with your claim to GDPR@mimy-project.eu. However, please note that any withdrawal is only applicable to the future use of your personal data. Processing of data that has been performed before your withdrawal is not affected.

c. Based on the consent given by the holder of parental responsibility over the child (Art. 8 GDPR)
Since the minor person willing to participate at the “MIMY" Final Conference is below the age of 16 years, such processing shall be lawful only if and to the extent that consent is given or authorised by the holder of parental responsibility over the child (Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR). The contact details of the holder of parental responsibility are processed for documentation purposes that the consent is given.
