Collection of general information when visiting our website

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected by means of a cookie. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider and the like. This is only information which does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.

   

This information is technically necessary for the correct delivery of content requested by you from websites and is mandatory when using the Internet. In particular, they are processed for the following purposes:

• ensuring a trouble-free connection to the website,

The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest in the mentioned purposes of data collection. We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person. Recipients of the data are only the responsible body and, if applicable, the contract processor.

Anonymous information of this kind may be statistically evaluated by us in order to optimize our website and the technology behind it.

When registering for the use of our personalized services, some personal data is collected, such as name, address, contact and communication data such as telephone number and e-mail address. If you are registered with us, you can access content and services that we only offer to registered users. Registered users also have the option of changing or deleting the data provided during registration at any time.

We will also be happy to correct or delete them at your request, provided that there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary.

SSL encryption

In order to protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption procedures (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

Newsletter

Based on your explicit consent, we will regularly send you our newsletter or comparable information by e-mail to your specified e-mail address.

Our newsletters contain information about our association work, the status of our projects, our campaigns, events and publications. In particular, references to blog entries, lectures or workshops, our services or online appearances may be included. The newsletter is sent out at most once a month, but at least quarterly.

Your e-mail address is sufficient for receiving the newsletter. When you register to receive our newsletter, the data you provide will be used exclusively for this purpose. Subscribers may also be informed by e-mail of circumstances relevant to the service or registration (e.g. changes in the newsletter offering or technical circumstances).

For an effective registration, we need a valid e-mail address. We use the “double opt-in” procedure to verify that a registration is carried out by the owner of an e-mail address. To this end, we log the order of the newsletter, the sending of a confirmation e-mail and the receipt of the reply requested herewith. Further data will not be collected. The data will be used exclusively for the newsletter dispatch and will not be passed on to third parties.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for newsletter dispatch at any time. At the same time, your consent to its dispatch via CleverReach and the statistical analyses expire. A separate revocation of the dispatch via CleverReach or the statistical analysis is unfortunately not possible.

In every newsletter, you will find a corresponding link. In addition, you can unsubscribe at any time directly on this website or inform us of your request via the contact details given at the end of this data protection notice.

Use of the “CLEVERREACH” dispatch service provider

This website uses CleverReach to send newsletters. The supplier is CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede. CleverReach is a service which organizes and analyzes the distribution of newsletters. The data you provide (e.g. your email address) to subscribe to our newsletter will be stored on CleverReach servers in Germany.

 

Sending our newsletters with CleverReach enables us to analyze the behavior of newsletter recipients. Among other things, we can find out how many recipients have opened the email containing the newsletter and how often various links contained therein are clicked. With the help of conversion tracking, we can also analyze whether a predefined action (such as the purchase of a product on our website) takes place after clicking on the link in the newsletter. For more information on how data is analyzed by CleverReach, please visit https://www.cleverreach.com/de/funktionen/reporting-und-tracking/.

 

Data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time by unsubscribing to the newsletter. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

 

If you do not want your usage of the newsletter to be analyzed by CleverReach, you will have to unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a link in every newsletter we send. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.

 

The data provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to distribute the newsletter until you cancel your subscription when said data will be deleted from our servers and those of CleverReach. Data we have stored for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members area) remains unaffected.

 

For more information, see the privacy policy of CleverReach at https://www.cleverreach.com/de/datenschutz/.

Completion of an outsourced data processing contract

We have entered into an agreement with CleverReach for the outsourcing of our data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using CleverReach.

USE OF Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps API to visually display geographic information. When Google Maps is used, Google also collects, processes and uses data relating to the use of map functions by visitors. For more information about data processing by Google, please refer to the Google Privacy Notice. There you can also change your personal data protection settings in the data protection center.

Embedded Youtube-Videos

On some of our websites we embed Youtube videos. Operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to Youtube servers is established. This will tell Youtube which pages you are visiting. If you are logged in to your Youtube account, Youtube can personally assign your surfing behavior to you. You can prevent this by logging out of your Youtube account beforehand.

If a Youtube video is started, the provider uses cookies which collect information about the user behavior. If you have deactivated the saving of cookies for the Google Ad program, you will not have to reckon with such cookies when watching Youtube videos. However, Youtube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you wish to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in your browser. Further information on data protection at “Youtube” can be found in the provider’s data protection declaration at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US

Einsatz von Instagram Embed

Within our online offer, functions and contents of the service Instagram, offered by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA, may be integrated. This may include, for example, content such as images, videos or texts and buttons with which users can make known their liking regarding the content, the authors of the content or subscribe to our posts. If the users are members of the Instagram platform, Instagram can assign the call of the above-mentioned content and functions to the profiles of the users there. You can find Instagram’s privacy policy here: http://instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.

On our website, we use the plug-in “Instagram Feed”. The plug-in is developed by Smash Balloon LLC in the USA (https://smashballoon.com/) (“Provider”) and is offered as a WordPress plug-in or as a standalone PHP plug-in. The plug-in allows us to display the newsfeed of our Instagram fan page directly on our website. For this purpose, the plug-in retrieves the information from Instagram and integrates it into our website. According to current knowledge, no special cookies are set specifically by this plug-in in your browser that collect, process or use personal data. Nevertheless, we cannot completely rule out the possibility that personal data (e.g. IP addresses, browser data or similar) may be transmitted to the provider of the plug-in or Instagram. If you click on a link in the newsfeed, you will be redirected to our Instagram channel. In this case, Instagram stores from which website you have accessed our Instagram channel. For more information about what data is collected, processed or used from you when you access the pages of Instagram, please refer to the privacy policy of Instagram.

The complete functionality of the plug-in can be viewed at https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/instagram-feed/ and https://smashballoon.com/instagram-feed. Further information on the data protection of Smash Balloon can be found here: https://smashballoon.com/gdpr-and-our-plugins/ If you do not want Instagram to associate your visit to our pages with your Instagram user account, please log out of your Instagram user account.
