Please note that we have made revisions to the Privacy Policy. The new Privacy Policy will apply until 24 May 2018 (inclusive) and, as from 25 May 2018 when the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force. By continuing to use our services you agree to the new Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree to our Privacy Policy, then you should not register as a member. All members must agree to the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service and Conditions (TOS) before a profile can be created. If you have any questions or complaints, you can contact us by sending an email to  eisensteig-berlin@gmx.de (see paragraph 15).

The GDPR protects European Union data subjects' fundamental right to privacy and the protection of personal data. It introduces robust requirements that will raise and harmonize standards for data protection, security, and compliance.

The GDPR applies to all organizations established in the EU and to organizations, whether or not established in the EU, that process the personal data of EU data subjects in connection with either the offering of goods or services to data subjects in the EU or the monitoring of behavior that takes place within the EU. Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
