If we use online services, the responsibility of the respective provider also comes into consideration. Any services and providers are named below. Medico international is not responsible for the processing of personal data which may be carried out by these providers for their own purposes and by means of their own choice and over which we have no effective means of control.
 

Purposes of the processing

- Preparation and implementation of the online conference The (Re)Construction of the World. We use the service "Zoom" for the immediate implementation. Zoom is a service of Zoom Video Communications, Inc. which is based in the USA.

- Public streaming (i.e. live broadcast) of the conference on the video platform Youtube. Youtube is a service of Google LLC, based in the USA.

- Recording of the conference (in picture and sound) for the purpose of later publication on a video platform (Youtube).

- Information about future events of medico international e.V.

- Sending you the medico-newsletter (only if you expressly requested this when registering).

Which personal data is processed?

- Data that you provide when registering (name and email address). The name is freely selectable.

- When using Zoom, user data is processed that is required for the provision of the service and to ensure security.

This includes in particular technical data on your devices, your network and your Internet connection, such as IP address, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type and microphone type and the type of connection. As far as possible, we make data protection-friendly default settings in Zoom.

- You decide yourself whether you want to transmit further data to us.

If you activate your camera and microphone and thus transmit images and sound to the participants of the conference or use the chat function, you agree to the processing of this data by medico international e.V. in the context of the conference, including streaming on YouTube, recording and subsequent publication on the Internet.
You can stop the transmission at any time by switching off your camera and microphone and not sending any more chat messages. There is no possibility on our part to activate your camera or microphone. You also have the option to alternatively watch the conference via Livestream only.

Notice:
When joining a conference meeting, your camera and microphone are disabled by default. Before activating your camera and microphone, check that your environment is suitable for this and that you are not, for example, unintentionally capturing other people.
 

Legal basis for data processing

The processing of your personal data for the preparation and implementation of the conference takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Our legitimate interest is the effective preparation and implementation of the online conference as well as the widest possible dissemination of the contents within the framework of our statutory education and public relations work. Information about future events is also part of our public relations work. You can object to the use of your data for the purpose of direct advertising at any time by sending us a message.

The sending of the newsletter is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. To do so, simply click on the unsubscribe link in the newsletter or send us a message.

If you transmit further data to us, in particular by activating your camera, your microphone or using the chat function, the legal basis is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with future effect by deactivating your camera and microphone and no longer sending chat messages.

The legal basis for the recording (image and sound) of the conference and subsequent publication of the same on a video platform (Youtube) is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para 1 lit a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time by sending us a message. In this case, we will delete the recording accordingly or arrange for the deletion with the provider of the video platform.

Before publishing the recorded material, we will thoroughly check whether particularly sensitive content that affects the rights and interests of the recorded persons was recorded - and delete it without being asked if necessary.

You will not incur any costs or other disadvantages as a result of a revocation.

Recipients / passing on of data

Personal data processed in connection with participation in the online conference will not be passed on to third parties as a matter of principle, unless it is specifically intended to be passed on.

Recipients:

Service providers commissioned by us with the technical implementation of the conference, including the providers of "Zoom" and "Youtube", necessarily receive knowledge of the above-mentioned data. All service providers are integrated by us through order processing contracts in compliance with data protection regulations.

Data processing outside the European Union

"Zoom" is a service provided by a provider from the USA. The basis for data transfer to the USA is the conclusion of EU standard contractual clauses (EU SCCs) with the Zoom provider, which guarantee an appropriate level of protection.
Further information on the processing of your data when using "Zoom" can be found at: https://zoom.us/privacy

"Youtube" is a service of Google LLC based in the USA. (The responsible party for data processing of persons living in the EU is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.) The basis for data transfers to the USA is the conclusion of EU standard contractual clauses (EU SCCs) with the provider of Youtube, which guarantee an appropriate level of protection.
Further information on data processing by Youtube can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en

Irrespective of this, we would like to point out that, due to the legal situation in the USA, personal data may be transferred to these authorities by the providers of these services upon request by American authorities. We have no influence on such transfers.
 

Deletion of data

We delete the data stored during the preparation and implementation of the conference if it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected and stored and if there are no other requirements for further storage. In the case of statutory retention obligations, deletion will only be considered after expiry of the respective retention obligation.
 

Your rights as a data subject

You have the right to obtain information about the personal data concerning you. You also have the right to correction or deletion or to restriction of processing, insofar as you are legally entitled to this.

Finally, you have the right to object to processing in accordance with the law, the right to data portability and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority for data protection.
