  • II. Encryption

    This site uses an encrypted connection for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content. You can recognise this by the addition "https://" in the address line of your browser and the lock symbol in your browser line.

  • III. Cookies

    The platform uses so-called cookies. These are small text files or simple entries in a database that your browser stores. The data in the cookies can only be read out again by the platform that has stored them. Cookies are used to make Internet pages more user-friendly and secure. Cookies containing personal data are only stored or read out via an encrypted connection. The platform uses session cookies in particular. Such cookies can be used, for example, to ensure that no other user can access the data you have provided in a form. Session cookies are deleted after the end of your visit to the platform, for example when you close your browser. The data will not be processed for other purposes and will not be passed on to third parties. The cookies used by the platform do not cause any damage to your end device (e.g. computer/tablet). In particular, they do not contain viruses. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, in which case you may not be able to use all features of the platform. The same applies to the deletion of stored cookies.

  • IV. Access log

    To ensure the security and functionality of the platform (e.g. defence against attacks), an access protocol (log file) is created on the servers of the operator. Data on access to the platform is stored in the log. This is the data that is transferred to the platform when your browser establishes a connection. That is your IP address, the time of access, which address (URL) was accessed, whether the access was successful and how extensive the data transmitted by the server was. If your browser sends the respective data, the previous address (referrer), as well as the information on your operating system and browser (e.g. version) are also stored; you can prevent the transmission of this data, if necessary, via the settings of your browser. The log files are deleted at regular intervals, at the latest after one week. If necessary, the log files are statistically evaluated beforehand. The logged data is stored separately from other data you leave on the platform and is not merged with it. They will not be passed on to third parties and will not be used for any other purposes. The statistical evaluation of the log files does not allow any identification of your person.

  • V. Forms of the operator

    In the course of an order, donation, application, registration for the newsletter or when contacting the operator processes the personal data that you provide in the corresponding form. You only have to enter data in the mandatory fields of the respective type. Further data is not required for the use of the type. This data includes contact data such as name, address, telephone number or e-mail address. The collection of personal data takes place under consideration of the principle of data economy, i.e. no more data is collected than is required for the respective purpose.

    We process and store your personal data only for the period necessary to fulfil the processing purpose: the data will be deleted thereafter. However, deletion cannot take place as long as the storage is still essential for the execution of the contract, the data is required for purposes of proof, or there is a legal obligation to store the data. Donor data must be stored for ten years. Candidate data will be deleted after six months at the latest unless you have consented to more extended storage. Until the data is removed, however, processing of the information is restricted.

    Newsletter

    The operator offers you the subscription of a newsletter by e-mail. In the newsletter, the operator informs you about the work of The Niko von Glasow Foundation. To receive such a newsletter, the operator needs your e-mail address. Also, the operator needs further data to verify that you as the owner of the given address agree to receive the newsletter. The operator uses the so-called double opt-in procedure (DOI) for this purpose. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail with an individual link via which you can confirm your registration (confirmation link). Only after such confirmation, you will receive the newsletter. In addition to your e-mail address, the time and IP address of registration and verification, as well as the confirmation link, are stored for the DOI, its proof and the prevention of misuse. Further data will not be processed in this respect. The data will only be processed in order to offer and send the newsletter. Your data will not be passed on to third parties. However, the operator can make use of a mail service provider who processes the data on his behalf by the statutory provisions and the specifications of this data protection declaration and is therefore not a third party. The use of the newsletter, such as opening the e-mail or clicking on links, can be statistically evaluated. The evaluation serves to improve the newsletter and does not allow any identification of your person. If you would like to unsubscribe from the newsletter, you can use the corresponding link in one of the newsletters (unsubscribe link) or contact the operator personally, for example by e-mail to the address mentioned above. The cancellation also represents a revocation of your consent to receive the newsletter and the data processing required for this. If you unsubscribe from the newsletter or do not complete the DOI within two weeks, your data will be deleted again, unless it is still required to prove that a DOI has been completed or to prevent misuse; however, processing of the data will be restricted in this respect. Subscription to the newsletter is via an encrypted connection. The dispatch of the newsletter is also encrypted, as far as your mail service provider supports this.

    Contacting

    If you contact the operator through a form, your data entered in the contact form will be encrypted via the operator's server to be transmitted by e-mail. This can be your inquiry, your name, your e-mail address and other contact data. Any further automated processing of your personal data does not take place in this respect. The data will only be used to process your request. An answer is always sent by e-mail, which is also encrypted if supported by your mail service provider. The same applies if you contact the operator by e-mail to an address given on the platform instead of using a contact form. After final processing of the inquiry your data, which you have indicated in the contact form or an e-mail to the operator, will be deleted again. This does not apply as long as the data is still required for the execution of the contract, are required for purposes of proof or conflict with statutory storage obligations; until then, however, the processing of your data will be restricted.

  • VI. Legal bases

    The legal regulations for data protection can be found in particular in the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). From 25 May 2018, however, the Basic Data Protection Ordinance (GDPR) will take precedence. If you have given your express consent to the processing of your data, this is also the legal basis for data processing for the purposes to which you have consented (Art. 6 para. 1 letter a GDPR). In particular, this can be the registration for the newsletter. Insofar as the processing is necessary for the performance or initiation of a contract, this constitutes the legal basis (Art. 6 para. 1 letter b GDPR). These are contracts concluded via the platform or initiated at your request. Furthermore, the legal basis for data processing is the protection of the legitimate interests of the operator (Art. 6 para. letter f GDPR). This is the economic and non-material interest in the operation of the platform, in particular in the collection of donations for charitable purposes. There is no automated decision making including profiling within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.

    If you are affected by the processing of your personal data, you have rights under the data protection regulations against the person responsible for data processing.
