When you write to us or call us, we process your details (for example name, e-mail address, phone number and the content of your message) to answer your enquiry. The legal basis is § 6 (1) (c) KDG where your enquiry concerns taking part in Rejoice or supporting it, and § 6 (1) (g) KDG otherwise. We delete your data once it is no longer needed for your enquiry, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

When you apply, we process the documents you send us for the application procedure and, where applicable, for preparing and running the programme. This includes information about your religious affiliation (baptismal and confirmation certificates). The legal basis is § 6 (1) (c) KDG, and additionally § 11 (2) KDG for information about religious affiliation. If you do not take part, we delete the documents after the procedure ends, add the deadline, e.g. no later than six months afterwards.
