What We Collect (Right to Be Informed)
We collect the following information about you when you apply to become a member of this site:
- Your first name. This is asked for in the same way your first name only would be asked for in a face-to-face meeting. It is merely a convenience.
- Your email address #1. This is asked for in the field “Email (visible only to the administrators of the site and used only to contact you directly about any issues on the site)”. The entry of the email address is required. This email address is only accessible by the administrators of the site. It is stored in the Word Press user- and user-meta tables on secured servers at Hostgator. It is only used to contact users about site-related issues, such as Terms of Service violations.
- Your email address #2. This is optional and is asked for in the field “Email address (if you want your email visible in the member directory and are willing to receive emails from others)”. If you supply your email address in this field, it is accessibly in the member directory, visible only to those people who belong to the site. It is stored in the Word Press user- and user-meta tables on secured servers at Hostgator. This email address does not have to match the one provided first.
- Registration IP address. WordPress collects this information automatically. It is used by the list administrators to see where our users are accessing the site from. The informaiton is stored in Word Press user- and user-meta tables on secured servers at Hostgator.
- IP Address At Each Login. Every time you login, the system stores your IP address in the table dedicated to our plugin that determines when each person last logged in. The IP address is not ever accessed or used directly. It is stored in Word Press tables on secured servers at Hostgator.
Comments
Every time you share at a meeting, your email address and IP address are recorded. These are stored in Word Press tables on secured servers at Hostgator. The data is never used once it is recorded.

Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)
On this website, ASPFR has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
For the web analytics through Google Analytics ASPFR uses the application “_gat. _anonymizeIp”. By means of this application the IP address of your Internet connection is abridged by Google and anonymised when accessing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet site for us.
Google Analytics places a cookie on your information technology system. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by ASPFR and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on your information technology system will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During the course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as your IP address, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of your visits of our website. With each visit to our Internet site, such personal data, including the IP address of your Internet access used, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
You may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on your information technology system. In addition, cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.
In addition, you have the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, you must download a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the your information technology system is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then you must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled by you or any other person who is attributable to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.

Google Analytics is further explained under the following Link https://www.google.com/analytics/.
