● First and last name - mandatory

● Avatar - optional

Personal data is used for communication and statistical analysis. Data you provide must be correct and up to date at all times. Waalstappers emphasizes the importance of this information with regards to the communication with other members and participation in activities. On our online platform we make online arrangements for meetings and we have to provide a safe environment for all participants. They have to be able to rely on the trustworthiness of their co-participants. Use of false, incomplete or fabricated personal data is explicitly forbidden. The DPO is empowered to ask for proof of correctness of personal data by means of a valid driver's licence or passport or other legal photo id. Usage of our platform implies compliancy with aforementioned rules.

Visibility of personal data
Visibility of personal data is limited by its audience. We distinguish three audiences:
● Non-subscribers: people who have not registered for our services and are not part of the organization of the waalstappers. This group can access our website and view all activities but cannot participate nor organize them.
● Subscribers: people who have signed up on our website and provided voluntarily their personal data as described above. They can participate in activities, organize them and enjoy all other features.
● Members of Waalstappers (members): these are people who play an active role in the organization of the waalstappers (de vereniging) and perform certain roles with regards to the platform service.

Mapping audience and personal data:
● First- and lastnames are the only identifying personal data elements used for communication between subscribers. In other words, subscribers find each other by their first- and lastname only. First- and lastnames are not visible to non-subscribers. Also members have access to first- and lastnames.
● Gender, birthdate and emailaddress are not visible to subscribers and non-subscribers. This data is only visible to members. For instance, our registration admin may contact users of the website by their emailaddress.
● Avatars are only visible to subscribers and members. Non-subscribers might see a blurred image of an avatar.
● Personal data is never visible to non-subscribers

It must be noted accumulated data may be used for statistical and organizational purposes as long as it's not possible to trace the data back to a specific individual. For instance, a subscriber who wants to organize an event for 70 years and older will only be able to invite and see participants meeting this criteria without seeing the individual's age.

Other data
● Email address is used as sign-in name and only visible to members.
● Password is only visible to the subscriber upon creation and stored in encrypted form.
