Why do we need your consent? Here is what you need to know:
Following the new rules of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) we are legally obliged to ask for your consent to transmit your personal data to a country outside of the European Union. In this case, we are exchanging certain data with specific employees at the Wikimedia Foundation, based in San Francisco (US), as well as with four community members. These parties are members of the committee that accompanies the program submission and application process for the conference as well as for scholarship applications and therefore require to process the data for these purposes. We will only share the minimum amount of required data that the above mentioned parties need in order to fulfill their roles in the relevant processes.
We cannot guarantee that your data will be protected as fully as in the European Union, that you will have the same rights with regard to its processing or that your data will not be disclosed to public agencies in the USA. Since it is necessary for us to involve the committee as a whole, we will unfortunately not be able to allow you to participate in the event if you withhold your consent. However, you will still have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal and depending on when you withdraw your consent we may have to exclude you from participating at the conference.
