The answer to this question can be found in “Imprint and Privacy Policy” in the footer of our website.
Membership
My address has changed. Can/should I correct this?
Yes please – it is very important that your data with us is up to date in every respect. You can change any data in your member area at any time to ensure that you and we are always up to date.
Why do I have to upload an ID card?
You can assume that our association is a thorn in the eye of many and that we are therefore watched with a wary eye. Therefore, it is very important that our members are “real people” and not fictitious profiles. For this reason, we ask you to upload a valid ID so that we can see that we are actually dealing with a real person.
Please note that it is sufficient to upload the first page of your ID card.
Your badge will be deleted again after validation by our staff, and instead of the badge you will see “Your badge/ID has been validated and deleted” afterwards.
Membership – Profile Edit:
Here you only change your access data (name, e-mail and URL) under “Profile” and your password, under “Password”, if desired.
If you want to delete your account, you can do it here as well. Please note that you will also delete all family members that you have created under this account.
Membership – Profile:
This button will take you to all of the following fields to be filled out to activate your membership (“My Data” – to edit, black button “edit”), as well as your membership card and living will (black button “view) . Please fill in as many fields as possible. If you don’t know what to write in a field, leave it blank and go to the next one.
Fields with a red asterisk * and coloured background are required: We need to know your name, age, blood type (though you can add this later), how to reach you, etc. – likewise, uploading your ID serves to verify your identity.
If we do not have your relevant information, your registration with us is useless.
Once you have filled in all the fields under “My data” (at least all mandatory fields) and saved them, you are immediately a member and can view and download/print your membership card. From there you can also view the living will, after you have first edited and saved it.
Why do I have to answer so many questions when becoming a member?
When you need blood, you want to be sure that this blood is actually what you expect: problem-free blood from a healthy unvaccinated person. One of the ways we ensure this is by having you answer all the relevant questions. However, there are only a few mandatory fields – if you don’t want to fill in any information (or don’t know what applies to you) just leave the relevant fields blank.
