Purposes and legal basis of data processing

Execution of the raffle

If you take part in one of our raffles, we will process your data in order to carry out the raffle. The type and scope of data processing depends on the raffle in which you participate. We generally process these categories of personal data in order to run a raffle: Name, e-mail address (private or business), telephone number (private or business), company, position, address (private or business). Without the data required for participation in the raffle, we will not be able to carry out the raffle. We process your data for these purposes in particular:

  • Implementation of the raffle
  • Notification of winners
  • Delivery of winnings

The data processing described is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (fulfillment of contract, execution of the raffle) and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (protection of legitimate interests based on our interest in carrying out the raffle and ensuring that it runs smoothly).

Newsletter on events of the Bitkom Group

When participating in a raffle, you may have the opportunity to register for the Bitkom Group newsletter. The newsletter provides information about current events, seminars, activities and services of the Bitkom Group (Bitkom e.V., Bitkom Servicegesellschaft mbH and DFA Digital für alle gGmbH). If you provide us with your name, we will use it to address you personally. After submitting the registration form, you will receive a confirmation e-mail. The registration only becomes effective once you have clicked on the link in the confirmation e-mail. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. To do so, simply use the unsubscribe link at the end of each email. The legal basis for the data processing described is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent).

Further information on the processing of your data

Access to personal data

Within the companies of the Bitkom Group, only persons who need your data to carry out the tasks assigned to them will have access to it. In addition, service providers or other persons who support us in the fulfillment of our tasks may have access to your data. These are service providers or persons in the following categories:

  • Hosting service provider for the operation of our servers
  • E-mail dispatch service provider for sending e-mails in connection with your participation in the raffle and for sending mailings

Service providers and speakers employed by us must meet special confidentiality requirements. They will only have access to your data to the extent and for the period of time required to fulfill their tasks.

Data processing outside the European Union

To process your data, we use Microsoft Corporation (USA), a service provider located in a third country outside the European Union. Countries outside the European Union handle the protection of personal data differently than countries within the European Union. We have therefore taken special measures to ensure that your data is processed just as securely in third countries as it is within the European Union. Microsoft Corporation is certified in accordance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. This ensures an appropriate level of data protection when data is processed by Microsoft in the USA.

Storage duration

We store your data until the purposes described in this data protection notice have been fulfilled, unless a longer retention period is required by law. As a rule, we delete your data after these periods or determine the period for deletion of your data according to these criteria:

  • We will delete your raffle participation data three months after the end of a raffle.
  • We will delete newsletter data after you withdraw your consent.
