Users: Account, data, content

Users are natural and legal persons who are interested in content on “my-revolution.eu”, read, comment on, like or write their own contributions.

There are three levels of users:

• Without registration: Users can freely and anonymously access the “my-revolution.eu” platform and move around on it while reading. All public content on the platform can be read by anyone.
• Registration is always required in order to be able to comment on or like posts from others.
• For certain functions, such as voting, it may be necessary that the user identity must first be verified once.

Account

Anyone who registers on the platform receives an account. This requires a name/pseudonym, a username/nickname, an email address and a password. Users have provided us with data about themselves voluntarily and we process this data on the basis of their consent for the following purposes: Registration is carried out via double opt-in: After filling out the registration form, users receive a confirmation email for verification purposes and must accept the “Legal Information and Terms of Use”. Only then is the account active.

A profile picture and further information can be added to the account, which is then visible to all users. The email address used for registration is not visible on the platform.

An account can be deleted independently at any time in the profile settings. As a result, all stored personal data, including profile picture and other information in the profile, will be irrevocably deleted. The content generated through the use of the platform (comments, suggestions, answers to surveys, etc.) remains anonymous for the purpose of transparency and comprehensibility of the participation processes. This data is assigned to an anonymous account.

Re-participation on the platform is only possible after a new registration.

If you have any questions or need help deleting your data, contact romy@mitgestalten.jetzt
