  • “Pseudonymisation” means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

  • “Profiling” means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.

  • “Processor” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

Relevant Legal Bases

In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you of the legal bases of our data processing. If the legal basis is not explicitly mentioned in the privacy policy, the following applies:

  • The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 7 GDPR.

  • The legal basis for processing to fulfill our services, carry out contractual measures, and respond to inquiries is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

  • The legal basis for processing to fulfill our legal obligations is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

  • The legal basis for processing to protect our legitimate interests is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

  • In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Security Measures

In accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.

The measures include, in particular, safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as access, input, transmission, safeguarding availability, and its separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures to ensure the exercise of data subject rights, erasure of data, and response to data hazards. Furthermore, we already consider the protection of personal data during the development or selection of hardware, software, and processes, in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and by default (Art. 25 GDPR).

Cooperation with Processors and Third Parties

If, in the context of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors or third parties), transmit it to them, or otherwise grant them access to the data, this is only done on the basis of a legal permission (e.g., if a transmission of the data to third parties, such as to payment service providers, is required for contract fulfillment pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), if you have consented, if a legal obligation provides for it, or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g., when using agents, web hosts, etc.).

If we commission third parties to process data on the basis of a so-called “Data Processing Agreement”, this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.

Transfers to Third Countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this occurs in the context of using third-party services or disclosing/transmitting data to third parties, this will only happen if it is done to fulfill our (pre-)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, due to a legal obligation, or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we only process or allow data to be processed in a third country if the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. GDPR are met. This means, for example, that the processing is carried out on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognized determination of a level of data protection corresponding to the EU (e.g., for the USA via the “Privacy Shield” / corresponding frameworks) or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations (so-called “Standard Contractual Clauses”).

3. Data Collection on Our Website

  • Operating system used

  • Referrer URL (the previously visited page)

  • Host name of the accessing computer

  • Time of the server request

This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures, and reflects our legitimate interest in the stability and security of the website.

Contact Form / Email Contact

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

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the execution of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this was requested.

Cookies and Right to Object to Direct Marketing

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

We may use temporary and permanent cookies and clarify this in the context of our privacy policy.

If users do not want cookies stored on their computer, they are asked to deactivate the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Stored cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional restrictions of this online offer.

A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be declared for a large number 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, the storage of cookies can be achieved by switching them off in the browser settings. Please note that you may then not be able to use all functions of this online offer.

Erasure of Data

The data processed by us will be deleted or restricted in its processing in accordance with Art. 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless explicitly stated within the scope of this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with statutory retention obligations. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This means the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons.

According to statutory requirements in Germany, retention is carried out in particular for 10 years pursuant to §§ 147(1) AO, 257(1) Nos. 1 and 4, (4) HGB (books, records, management reports, accounting vouchers, commercial books, documents relevant for taxation, etc.) and 6 years pursuant to § 257(1) Nos. 2 and 3, (4) HGB (commercial letters).

According to statutory requirements in Austria, retention is carried out in particular for 7 years pursuant to § 132(1) BAO (accounting documents, vouchers/invoices, accounts, business papers, statement of income and expenditure, etc.), for 22 years in connection with real estate, and for 10 years for documents in connection with electronically supplied services, telecommunications, broadcasting, and television services provided to non-taxable persons in EU Member States for which the Mini One-Stop Shop (MOSS) is used.

Provision of Statutory and Business Services

We process the data of our members, supporters, interested parties, customers, or other persons in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if we offer them contractual services or act within the scope of an existing business relationship, e.g., towards members, or are themselves recipients of services and donations. In all other respects, we process the data of data subjects pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests, e.g., when it comes to administrative tasks or public relations.

The data processed here, the nature, scope, purpose, and necessity of its processing are determined by the underlying contractual relationship. This fundamentally includes inventory and master data of the persons (e.g., name, address, etc.), as well as contact data (e.g., email address, telephone, etc.), contractual data (e.g., services used, content and information provided, 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 provide our statutory and business purposes. This is determined according to the respective tasks and contractual relationships. In the case of business processing, we retain the data for as long as it may be relevant for business transactions, as well as with regard to any warranty or liability obligations. The necessity of retaining the data is reviewed every three years; otherwise, statutory retention obligations apply.

Google Web Fonts

This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google’s servers. This enables Google to learn that our website was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts takes place in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font from your computer will be used.
