Cookies and the Right of Objection to Direct Marketing

"Cookies" are small files stored on users' computers. Different information can be stored within cookies. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after their visit to an online service. Temporary cookies, also known as "session cookies" or "transient cookies," are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online service and closes their browser. Such a cookie can store, for example, the contents of a shopping cart in an online shop or a login status. Cookies that remain stored even after the browser is closed are referred to as "permanent" or "persistent." For example, the login status can be saved if users visit the site after several days. Likewise, the interests of users can be saved in such a cookie and used for reach measurement or marketing purposes. "Third-party cookies" are cookies offered by providers other than the controller who operates the online service (otherwise, if they are only their cookies, they are referred to as "first-party cookies").

We can use temporary and permanent cookies and explain this in our privacy policy.

If users do not want cookies to be saved on their computer, they are asked to deactivate the corresponding option in their browser settings. Saved cookies can be deleted in the browser settings. Excluding cookies may result in functional limitations of this website.

A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be declared for a variety of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, cookies can be blocked by deactivating them in the browser settings. Please note that in this case, not all functions of this website may be available.

Deletion of data

The data we process will be deleted or restricted in accordance with legal requirements. Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and there are no statutory retention periods that prevent deletion.

If the data is not deleted because it is required for other legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This means that the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons.

Changes and Updates to the Privacy Policy

We ask you to inform yourself regularly about the content of our Privacy Policy. We will adapt the Privacy Policy as soon as changes to the data processing we carry out make this necessary. We will inform you as soon as the changes require your cooperation (e.g., consent) or other individual notification.

Provision of our statutory and business-related services

We process the data of our members, supporters, interested parties, customers, or other persons in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that we offer them contractual services or act within the framework of existing business relationships, e.g., with members, or are ourselves recipients of services and donations. Furthermore, we process the data of data subjects in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests, e.g., when it comes to administrative tasks or public relations work.

The data processed in this context, the type, scope, purpose, and necessity of their processing are determined by the underlying contractual relationship. This generally includes inventory and master data of individuals (e.g., name, address, etc.), as well as contact details (e.g., email address, telephone number, etc.), contract data (e.g., services used, content and information communicated, names of contact persons), and, if we offer paid services or products, payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history, etc.).

We delete data that is no longer required to fulfill our statutory and business purposes. This is determined according to the respective tasks and contractual relationships. In the case of commercial processing, we retain the data for as long as it may be relevant for business transactions and with regard to any warranty or liability obligations. The necessity of retaining the data is reviewed every three years; otherwise, the statutory retention periods apply.

DSGVO sofern die Datenverarbeitung z.B. im Rahmen von rechtlichen Verfahren für uns erforderlich wird (in Deutschland gilt zusätzlich § 26 BDSG).

Das Bewerbungsverfahren setzt voraus, dass Bewerber uns die Bewerberdaten mitteilen. Die notwendigen Bewerberdaten sind, sofern wir ein Onlineformular anbieten gekennzeichnet, ergeben sich sonst aus den Stellenbeschreibungen und grundsätzlich gehören dazu die Angaben zur Person, Telefonnummer, E-Mail Adresse sowie in der Regel eine Selbstauskunft zur Vorauswahl in unseren Teams. Daneben können uns Bewerber freiwillig zusätzliche Informationen mitteilen.

Mit der Übermittlung der Bewerbung an uns, erklären sich die Bewerber mit der Verarbeitung ihrer Daten zu Zwecken des Bewerbungsverfahrens entsprechend der in dieser Datenschutzerklärung dargelegten Art und Umfang einverstanden.

Soweit im Rahmen des Bewerbungsverfahrens freiwillig besondere Kategorien von personenbezogenen Daten im Sinne des Art. 9 Abs. 1 DSGVO mitgeteilt werden, erfolgt deren Verarbeitung zusätzlich nach Art. 9 Abs. 2 lit. b DSGVO (z.B. Gesundheitsdaten, wie z.B. Schwerbehinderteneigenschaft oder ethnische Herkunft).

Die von den Bewerbern zur Verfügung gestellten Daten, können im Fall einer erfolgreichen Bewerbung für die Zwecke des Beschäftigungsverhältnisses von uns weiterverarbeitet werden.

Eine Löschung erfolgt, vorbehaltlich eines berechtigten Widerrufs der Bewerber, nach dem Ablauf eines Zeitraums von sechs Monaten, damit wir etwaige Anschlussfragen zu der Bewerbung beantworten und unseren Nachweispflichten genügen können.

Registration function

Users can create a user account. During registration, the required mandatory information is communicated to users and processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR for the purpose of providing the user account. The data processed includes, in particular, login information (name, password, and an email address).

Users can be informed by email about information relevant to their user account, such as technical changes. If users cancel their user account, their data relating to the user account will be deleted, subject to any statutory retention requirements. It is the responsibility of users to back up their data before the end of the contract upon termination. We are entitled to irretrievably delete all user data stored during the term of the contract.

When using our registration and login functions, as well as the use of the user account, we save the IP address and the time of the respective user action. This storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as the user's interest in protecting against misuse and other unauthorized use. This data will generally not be passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. IP addresses will be anonymized or deleted after 7 days at the latest.

Soundcloud

Music samples are stored on the "Soundcloud" platform, offered by SoundCloud Limited, Rheinsberger Str. 76/77, 10115 Berlin, Germany, and are played from this platform.

For this purpose, we integrate so-called Soundcloud widgets into our website. This is playback software that users can use to play podcasts. SoundCloud can measure which podcasts are listened to and to what extent, and process this information pseudonymously for statistical and business purposes. For this purpose, cookies may be stored in users' browsers and processed to create user profiles, e.g., for the purpose of displaying ads that correspond to users' potential interests. For users registered with Soundcloud, Soundcloud can assign the listening information to their profiles.

This use is based on our legitimate interests, i.e., our interest in the secure and efficient provision, analysis, and optimization of our audio offerings in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Further information and options for objection can be found in Soundcloud's privacy policy: https://soundcloud.com/pages/privacy.

With the following information, we inform you about the content of our newsletter, the registration, dispatch, and statistical evaluation procedures, as well as your right of objection. By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to receive it and to the procedures described.

Newsletter content: We only send newsletters, emails, and other electronic notifications with promotional information (hereinafter "newsletter") with the recipient's consent or legal permission. If the content of the newsletter is specifically described when registering for the newsletter, this is decisive for the user's consent. Otherwise, our newsletters contain information about our services and us.

Double opt-in and logging: Registration for our newsletter is carried out using a so-called double opt-in process. This means that after registration, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary to ensure that no one can register using someone else's email address. Newsletter registrations are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the time of registration and confirmation, as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored by the shipping service provider are also logged.

Registration data: To register for the newsletter, it is sufficient if you provide your e-mail address. Optionally, we ask you to provide a name so that we can address you personally in the newsletter.

The newsletter is sent and the associated performance measurement is based on the recipient's consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a), Art. 7 GDPR in conjunction with Section 7 (2) No. 3 UWG or, if consent is not required, on the basis of our legitimate interests in direct marketing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in conjunction with Section 7 (3) UWG.

The registration process is logged on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We are interested in using a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves our business interests and meets user expectations, while also allowing us to verify consent.

Cancellation/Revocation - You can cancel your subscription to our newsletter at any time, i.e., revoke your consent. A link to unsubscribe from the newsletter can be found at the end of each newsletter. We can store unsubscribed email addresses for up to three years based on our legitimate interests before deleting them in order to be able to verify previously given consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defense against claims. An individual request for deletion is possible at any time, provided that the previous existence of consent is confirmed at the same time.

Newsletter - Mailchimp

The newsletter is sent via the mailing service provider "MailChimp," a newsletter distribution platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. You can view the mailing service provider's privacy policy here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/. The Rocket Science Group LLC d/b/a MailChimp is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection standards (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TO6hAAG&status=Active). The shipping service provider is used on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR and a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 (3) (1) GDPR.

The shipping service provider may use recipient data in pseudonymous form, i.e., without assignment to a user, to optimize or improve its own services, e.g., for the technical optimization of sending and displaying newsletters or for statistical purposes. However, the shipping service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to contact them directly or to pass the data on to third parties.

Collection of access data and log files

We, or rather our hosting provider, collect data about every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files) based on our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. This access data includes the name of the accessed website, the file, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, the notification of successful access, the browser type and version, the user's operating system, the referrer URL (the previously visited page), the IP address, and the requesting provider.

Log file information is stored for security reasons (e.g., to investigate misuse or fraud) for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. Data that needs to be retained for evidentiary purposes will not be deleted until the incident has been finally resolved.

Reach measurement with Matomo

As part of Matomo's reach analysis, the following data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR): the browser type and version you use, the operating system you use, your country of origin, the date and time of the server request, the number of visits, your time spent on the website, and the external links you click. The user's IP address is anonymized before it is saved.

Matomo uses cookies that are stored on the user's computer and enable an analysis of the use of our online offering by users. Pseudonymous user profiles of users can be created from the processed data. The cookies are stored for a period of one week. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is stored only on our server and not passed on to third parties.

Users can object to the anonymized data collection by the Matomo program at any time with future effect by clicking on the link below. In this case, an opt-out cookie is stored in their browser, which means that Matomo no longer collects any session data. If users delete their cookies, however, this also deletes the opt-out cookie, which must therefore be reactivated by the users.

The logs containing user data are deleted after 6 months at the latest.

[Please insert the Matomo IFRAME with the opt-out cookie here (and activate IP anonymization in the settings area)].

Online presence in social media

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to communicate with customers, interested parties, and users active there and to inform them about our services.

We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This could result in risks for users, for example, because it could make it more difficult to enforce their rights. With regard to US providers certified under the Privacy Shield, we would like to point out that they thereby undertake to comply with EU data protection standards.

Furthermore, user data is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created based on user behavior and the resulting interests of users. These user profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are typically stored on users' computers, in which their usage behavior and interests are saved. Furthermore, user profiles can also store data independent of the devices used by users (particularly if users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in).

The processing of users' personal data is based on our legitimate interest in providing users with effective information and communicating with them in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If users are asked by the respective platform providers for consent to the data processing described above, the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (a) and Art. 7 GDPR.

For a detailed description of the respective processing operations and the opt-out options, please refer to the information provided by the providers linked below.

In the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we would like to point out that these can be most effectively asserted with the providers. Only the providers have access to user data and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. If you still need help, you can contact us.

Integration of third-party services and content

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR), we use content or service offerings from third parties within our online offering to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter collectively referred to as "content").

This always requires that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the users, since without the IP address they could not send the content to their browser. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content. We endeavor to only use content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. Pixel tags can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit time, and other information about the use of our online offering, as well as be linked to such information from other sources.

YouTube

We embed videos from the "YouTube" platform provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

Google Fonts

We embed fonts ("Google Fonts") provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Data protection declaration: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

Google Maps

We integrate maps from the "Google Maps" service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The data processed may include, in particular, users' IP addresses and location data, which, however, are not collected without their consent (usually done through their mobile device settings). The data may be processed in the USA. Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

Use of Facebook Social Plugins

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR), we use social plugins ("Plugins") from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").
This may include, for example, content such as images, videos, or texts and buttons with which users can share content from this online offering within Facebook. The list and appearance of Facebook social plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).

When a user accesses a function of this online offering that contains such a plugin, their device establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plug-in is transmitted by Facebook directly to the user's device and integrated into the online offering. User profiles can be created from the processed data. We therefore have no influence on the extent of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plug-in and therefore inform users according to our level of knowledge.

By integrating the plug-in, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the online offering. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to their Facebook account. When users interact with the plug-ins, for example by clicking the Like button or leaving a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from their device directly to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, it is still possible that Facebook will find out and store their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany.

The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as the related rights and setting options for protecting the privacy of users, can be found in Facebook's privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about them via this online service and link it to their member data stored on Facebook, they must log out of Facebook and delete their cookies before using our online service. Further settings and objections to the use of data for advertising purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads  or via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. The settings are platform-independent, meaning they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers and mobile devices.

Instagram

Functions and content of the Instagram service, offered by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA, may be integrated into our online offering. This may include, for example, content such as images, videos, or text and buttons that users can use to share content from this online offering within Instagram. If users are members of the Instagram platform, Instagram can assign the access to the aforementioned content and functions to the users' profiles there. Instagram's privacy policy: http://instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.
