In this context, personal member data may be published to the extent required for reasonable presentation. This also applies to photos and videos made during Society activities.

(Sec. 3) Only Executive Committee members and, if need be in individual cases, other members, having certain managing functions depending on the occasion, requiring access to member data will be given a digital or printed list of members showing required member data. Regular handling of member data is determined in a record of processing activities. The President is the data controller.

Based on the German Federal Data Protection Act, each member has a right to receive information on his/her personal data, the recipients in the case of data transfers and the purpose of storage and he/she has the rights to correction, erasure and data blockage. The Society may process or use (such as for advertising purposes) the data in other ways exceeding its tasks and purposes according to the Articles only if they must do so for legal reasons or if members consented to this. The sale of the data shall be prohibited.
