Personal Information
Race Against Blood Cancer (RABC) ensures that it only collects, processes and makes use of your personal data to the extent that is legally permissible under EU Data Protection Regulations.
All personal data collected by RABC is subject to a special protection pursuant to EU Data Protection Regulations and other provisions for data protection which we ensure by means of technical and organizational measures. RABC employees are obligated to maintain confidentiality. Data protection and data security are a matter of particular importance for us.
Collection of Personal Data
RABC only collects, processes and makes use of your personal data to the extent that is legally permissible and required in order to find suitable stem cell donors and to establish contact with you.
If you register as a donor on our Internet site, subscribe to a newsletter, donate money or use other online forms, your data will be transmitted to us in an encrypted form in order to exclude access by unauthorized third parties. In principle, we store your data on specially protected servers. Access to personal data is only possible by a few, specially empowered employees of RABC who are all familiar with the applicable data protection regulations.
Transmission of your personal-related data to third parties
The purpose of processing your data is to procure stem cell donors to patients in need. Your donor data as well as the results of the typing of your tissue characteristics (HLA typing) will be transmitted in an anonymised form to national and/or international stem cell donor registries. Only such data will be transmitted which is relevant for the donor search. Essentially, this includes a donor identification number, gender, date of birth, tissue typing results, the number of tissue typings conducted to date and the donor status (available or unavailable). Names, addresses or similar identifying data will not be transmitted.
In order to accomplish and fulfil our tasks, we must also co-operate with service providers who receive personal data when it is necessary for this purpose. These service providers are contractually obligated by RABC to only use the obtained personal data for the agreed purpose and to prevent accidental disclosure to third parties. We assure you that we will not sell or lease your data to other companies or organizations. By no means will we use your e-mail address or other data without your consent for other purposes for which you have not granted any consent.

Storage of IP addresses & cookies
In order to access the RABC website, registration of the IP address is required for a short period of time. The IP address is the globally valid, unique identification of a computer that consists of four number blocks separated by dots. In general, you will not use an IP address that remains the same as a private user because your provider only allocates this address to you temporarily for each session. Nevertheless, a clear allocation of the user data via this feature is, in principle, possible for static IP addresses. Our web server stores IP addresses for a maximum period of 24 hours. Afterwards, the access data will be anonymised.
