2. General Information on Data Processing
The protection of your personal data is important to us. We process personal data only where necessary for operating our website, communicating with interested parties, carrying out our association’s activities, or where another appropriate legal basis applies.
We treat personal data confidentially and in accordance with applicable data protection laws, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
3. Hosting and Server Log Files
Our website is hosted by Charity Host.
When you access our website, the web server processes technically necessary data. This may include your IP address, the date and time of access, the page or file requested, the amount of data transferred, browser type, operating system and referrer URL.
Processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the secure, reliable and uninterrupted operation of our website.
The data is stored only for as long as necessary for these purposes, unless statutory retention obligations or legitimate security interests justify longer storage.
4. Contacting Us
If you contact us by email or other means, we process the personal data you provide solely to handle your enquiry and, where applicable, for further communication.
Depending on the nature of your enquiry, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The data will be deleted once it is no longer required for these purposes, provided that no statutory retention obligations apply.
5. Cookies and Language Selection
Our website uses WordPress and the Polylang plugin to provide German and English language versions.
Technically necessary cookies may be used, particularly to remember your selected language or provide essential website functions.
Where cookies or similar technologies are strictly necessary for operating the website, their use is permitted under Section 25(2) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG). Any associated processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Where legally required, prior consent will be obtained for non-essential cookies or similar technologies.
6. Comments and Interactive Features
If a comment function or other interactive features are offered on our website, the information entered by users and technically necessary connection data may be processed.
This processing serves to provide the relevant function, prevent misuse and ensure website security. Unless another legal basis applies, processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
7. Embedded Content and External Services
If content from external providers, such as videos, maps or other media, is embedded on our website, accessing this content may establish a connection to the providers’ servers. Personal data, particularly IP addresses, may be transmitted in this process.
Where consent is legally required, such content will only be loaded after the appropriate consent has been obtained.
8. Recipients and Disclosure of Personal Data
Personal data is disclosed only where necessary for operating our website, handling enquiries or fulfilling legal obligations, and where an appropriate legal basis exists.
Recipients may include technical service providers, particularly our hosting provider. Where required, appropriate data processing agreements are concluded with processors in accordance with Article 28 GDPR.
Personal data is transferred to countries outside the European Union or European Economic Area only in compliance with applicable legal requirements.
9. Data Retention
We generally store personal data only for as long as necessary for the respective processing purposes.
Where statutory retention obligations apply, the relevant data will be retained for the required period and subsequently deleted, unless another legal basis justifies further processing.
10. Your Rights
Subject to applicable legal requirements, you have, in particular, the right to access your stored personal data and to request its rectification, erasure or restriction of processing.
You may also have the right to data portability and the right to object to certain types of processing.
You may withdraw any consent you have given at any time with effect for the future.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority. For our association, this may in particular be the Data Protection Commissioner of Saxony-Anhalt.
