7. Processing of special personal data
LifeStream Europe is a not-for-profit body with a political, philosophical, religious or trade union aim and as such can process special data, as provided for in article 9, paragraph 2(d) of the GDPR, in addition to the personal data specified above.
Processing of special personal data is carried out with the following provisions:
• the processing relates only to those who are registered for a LifeStream Europe event or involved in the life and mission of LifeStream Europe (or those who have regular contact with it in connection with those purposes); and

8. Photography
LifeStream Europe reserves the right to photograph or film volunteers or delegates within public areas at LifeStream Europe conferences and events. Only official LifeStream Europe photographers will be authorised. Only distance photography will be taken during ministry times, and we will not photograph faces.
For children’s venues at LifeStream Europe events there is a section on the children’s registration form where parents can indicate whether or not their children can be photographed/filmed. The photographer will liaise with the team leader to schedule an exact time and date for photography within each venue, so that children can be moved to a dedicated area at the appropriate time. Consent will be gained from parents for photographing/filming children outside of children’s venues.
All photographs taken for LifeStream Europe are the property of LifeStream Europe and may be used for illustrative purposes, such as for the website, social media or brochures, for educational purposes, such as providing a visual explanation of the different activities that run during the conferences, or as a resource for future marketing and promotion of LifeStream Europe events. It is the responsibility of LifeStream Europe to make sure that all staff, delegates and volunteers are aware that there may be photography and filming in the public spaces provided. This should be made clear through public notices, signs and/or visual projection.
9. How long do we keep your personal data?
We keep data for as long as you are registered for an event, or involved in or interested in the life and mission of LifeStream Europe and do not withdraw your consent for us to continue to remain in contact with you and hold your personal data.
In the case of deceased persons LifeStream Europe will deal with the personal data of the deceased person with sensitivity — in accordance with the wishes of remaining family members or as directed by the laws of the Netherlands.
