Press Release No. 45/2026 dated 17.06.2026 Data Protection for Clubs and Associations Seminar for Clubs in Quierschied on September 14, 2026 Saarbrücken/Quierschied – The Vereinstour Saarland, a project by the Union Foundation, and the municipality of Quierschied invite you on Monday, September 14, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to the Q.lisse in Quierschied for a seminar on the topic of data protection in clubs with attorney Patrick Nessler. Data protection plays an important role from sports clubs to large state associations. On September 14, 2026, the Vereinstour Saarland will stop at Q.lisse in Quierschied and bring clarity to the jungle of the GDPR. In this practical seminar, participants will learn how to lawfully collect, store, and protect personal data in everyday club operations. This seminar is aimed at board members, data protection officers, secretaries, coaches, and committed members who want to actively engage with handling personal data within their club or association. It is also ideal for newcomers in office or those who want to be on the safe side regarding data protection in their club. "Data protection is no longer a marginal issue but a central prerequisite for responsible club work," emphasizes Lutz Maurer, mayor of the municipality of Quierschied, who, together with the Vereinstour Saarland, invites to the seminar. "With the Vereinstour Saarland, we provide important support to our clubs to confidently meet legal requirements and strengthen the trust of their members. Our volunteers do great work; they deserve the best possible information and practical assistance." Speaker Patrick Nessler is a lawyer specializing in club and association law and has been a longtime speaker in the club scene. With his clear, understandable style, he explains complex legal content so it can be directly applied in everyday club work. His focus: practical solutions, not legal jargon. The goal of the seminar is to make data protection in clubs understandable and applicable. You will learn how to lawfully process personal data and which rules apply to particularly sensitive information. Additionally, you will know afterwards how to implement rights of access and protect your club from data protection breaches – legally secure, structured, and responsibly. Prior registration is requested. Participation is free of charge. The event will take place on Monday, September 14, at 6:00 p.m., at Q.lisse, Rathausplatz 7, 66287 Quierschied.
