3. General Information and Mandatory Disclosures

Data Protection

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data means data by which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

Please note that data transmission over the internet, for example when communicating by email, may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data, such as names, email addresses or similar data.

Storage Period

Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was processed no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data, such as retention periods under tax or commercial law. In the latter case, deletion will take place once these reasons no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, insofar as special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device, such as via device fingerprinting, data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the legal bases applicable in each individual case is provided in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, it is necessary to transmit personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so, for example by transferring data to tax authorities, if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in passing on the data, or if another legal basis permits the transfer. When using processors, we only pass on personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising, Art. 21 GDPR

WHERE DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR ART. 6(1)(F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS. THIS IS AN OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR.

WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEREAFTER NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES. THIS IS AN OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Access, Correction and Deletion

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, the right to correction or deletion of this data. You may contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions relating to personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you contest the accuracy of the personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence or establishment of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may, apart from being stored, only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Advertising Emails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published as part of the legal notice obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information being sent, for example through spam emails.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Server Log Files

The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

browser type and browser version
operating system used
referrer URL
hostname of the accessing computer
time of the server request
partially anonymised IP address

The IP address is stored in the server log files only in shortened or partially anonymised form. As a rule, it is not possible for us to assign this shortened IP address to a specific person.

This data is not combined with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of the website; for this purpose, server log files must be collected.

Contact Form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively processing enquiries addressed to us pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR if such consent has been requested. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies, for example after your enquiry has been fully processed. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.

Enquiries by Email, Telephone or Fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all personal data arising from it, such as your name and the content of the enquiry, will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The data you send to us via contact enquiries will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies, for example after your request has been fully processed. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.

Enquiries via Messenger Services

We use messenger services and communication platforms, in particular WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram and Threema, to communicate with interested persons, supporters, members, cooperation partners and other individuals.

If you contact us through one of these services or interact with our accounts, groups, channels or profiles there, we process the personal data transmitted by you for the purpose of processing your enquiry, communicating with you and carrying out the public relations work of our association. This may include, in particular, your name, username, telephone number, messenger ID, profile information, message content, reactions, comments, times of communication and any other information you provide to us.

Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to membership, a donation, a cooperation, a contractual relationship or pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in simple, secure and effective communication and in the public relations work of our association pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where consent has been requested, processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Please note that when using the respective messenger services and communication platforms, personal data may also be processed by the respective providers. This may include, in particular, connection data, metadata, contact information, device information and usage data. We do not have full control over this data processing. The privacy policies of the respective providers also apply.

The data you transmit to us via messenger services will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, the purpose of storage no longer applies, or statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

5. Social Media and External Platforms

Social Media Elements with Shariff

On this website, we use privacy-friendly share buttons or social media elements based on the so-called “Shariff” solution. The buttons make it possible to share content from our website via various platforms, in particular LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Bluesky, Mastodon, Reddit and other platforms.

You can usually recognise the social media elements by the respective social media logos. To ensure data protection on this website, we use these elements only together with the so-called “Shariff” solution. This application prevents the social media elements integrated on this website from transmitting your personal data to the respective provider as soon as you first enter the site.

Only when you activate the respective social media element by clicking the corresponding button is a direct connection established to the provider’s server, based on your consent. As soon as you activate the social media element, the respective provider receives the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you are logged into your respective social media account at the same time, for example Facebook, the respective provider may be able to associate your visit to this website with your user account.

Activating the plugin constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. You may withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future.

The service is used in order to obtain the legally required consent for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Instagram

Functions of the Instagram service are integrated into this website. These functions are offered by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland.

If the social media element is active, a direct connection is established between your device and the Instagram server. Instagram thereby receives information about your visit to this website.

If you are logged into your Instagram account, you can link the content of this website to your Instagram profile by clicking the Instagram button. This allows Instagram to associate your visit to this website with your user account. Please note that, as the provider of this website, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Instagram.

This service is used on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.

Insofar as personal data is collected on our website with the help of the tool described here and forwarded to Facebook or Instagram, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, Dublin, D04 X2K5, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR. Joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of the data and its transfer to Facebook or Instagram. The processing carried out by Facebook or Instagram after the transfer is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent on us jointly have been set out in a joint processing agreement. The wording of the agreement can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing the data protection information when using the Facebook or Instagram tool and for the secure implementation of the tool on our website in accordance with data protection law. Facebook is responsible for the data security of Facebook and Instagram products. You may assert data subject rights, such as requests for information, with regard to data processed by Facebook or Instagram directly against Facebook. If you assert your data subject rights with us, we are obliged to forward them to Facebook.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum, https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy/ and https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381.

Further information can be found in Instagram’s privacy policy: https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy/.

The company is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, or DPF. The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF undertakes to comply with these data protection standards.

6. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The data entered in the newsletter registration form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw your consent to the storage of the data, the email address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of any data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe or once the purpose no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and is not combined with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements for sending newsletters, as a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You may object to this storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

7. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with Enhanced Privacy Mode

This website embeds videos from the YouTube website. The operator of YouTube is Google Ireland Limited, “Google”, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

When you visit one of the pages of this website on which YouTube is embedded, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behaviour directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, videos played in enhanced privacy mode are not used to personalise browsing on YouTube. Advertisements displayed in enhanced privacy mode are likewise not personalised. In enhanced privacy mode, no cookies are set. Instead, however, so-called local storage elements are stored in the user’s browser; these may contain personal data similar to cookies and may be used for recognition. Details on enhanced privacy mode can be found here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780.

After activating a YouTube video, further data processing operations may be triggered over which we have no influence.

YouTube is used in the interest of presenting our online content in an appealing manner. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device, such as device fingerprinting, within the meaning of the TDDDG.
