This is also the case with your application as a volunteer.

Transfer of personal date to third countries

As DanChurchAid is one overall data-responsible body, the EU data protection regulation is valid for the processing of your personal data by us, no matter where in the world this takes place.

If you are a volunteer abroad, there are cases when your data will be transferred to DanChurchAid’s local offices outside the EU/EØS.

We ensure that the necessary guarantees are in place to protect your information when it is processed in our offices outside the EU/EØS. This means among others that:

  • We only transfer data to offices outside the EU/EØS when there is a specific need in connection with a stay as volunteer outside the EU/EØS
  • We transfer the data because it is necessary for an agreement with you or for making steps based on your request before entering into such an agreement
  • Even if the data are processed at our local offices abroad, the very processing takes place only on servers placed in the EU and in DanChurchAid’s closed network.

We use Google Analytics, where personal data are transferred to the USA on the basis of a Privacy Shield certification.

Consequences by not giving data information

If you do not want us to process your data information, the consequence may be that we cannot administer your donations, send goods purchased in the web shop or report possible tax deductions to Tax.

Profiling

In order that we can have the most meaningful relation to you and with a view of making target group analyses, we use general personal data such as frequency and type of donation to make your profile. We collect these data based on your donations, among others.

As to quality assurance of the data we use and in relation to marketing, there are cases where we improve the existing date we have on you with data collected from cooperation partners.

Based on the data we have on you, we may also in some cases use basic personal data, such as in relation to segmenting, with a view to do marketing on social media.
