Privacy Policy

Please note that this translation is provided for convenience only and that this version does not and cannot take precedence over the German-language version of this Privacy Policy.

Children and Young People

People under the age of 16 should not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We do not request personal data from children and young people, nor do we collect it or pass it on to third parties.

We are very pleased about your interest in our training center. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V. The use of the Internet pages of the Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V is possible without any submission of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special services related to our association via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V. By means of this data protection declaration, our association would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.

As the controller or responsible party, the Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

1. Definitions

The data protection declaration of the Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V. is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.

We use, inter alia, the following terms in this data protection declaration:

a)     Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). A natural person is considered to be identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by assignment to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person.

b)    Data subject (aka “the person concerned”)
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

c)     Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d)    Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

e)     Profiling
Profiling is 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 analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

f)     Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymization means the processing of personal data in such a way 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 ensuring that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g)    Controller or controller responsible for the processing
Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

h)    Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i)      Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body, to which personal data are disclosed, regardless of whether it is a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

j)      Third party
Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data

k)    Consent
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

2. Name and address of the controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws in force in the member states of the European Union, and other provisions of a data protection nature is:

European Bible Training Center e. V

An der Schillingbrücke 4

10243 Berlin

Germany

Tel .: +493060988610

For data protection concerns, our external data protection officer is available at the following contact details:

Executive person: Martin Rosenberg

E-mail address: datenschutz@ebtc.org

Website: ebtc.org

3. Cookies

The Internet pages of the Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V. use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.

Numerous Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, the Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online store. The online store remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the Internet browser used, and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.

4. Collection of general data and information

The website of the Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V. collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. The following types of information can be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, the Europäisches Bibel TrainingCentrum e. V does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V analyzes anonymously-collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our association, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Registration on our website

The data subject has the option to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data. The personal data transmitted to the data controller in the process is determined by the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for the data subject’s own purposes. The controller may arrange for the data to be passed on to one or more processors (e.g. a parcel service) that also uses personal data exclusively for an internal purpose which is attributable to the controller.

By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address—assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject—date, and time of the registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place in light of the fact that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offenses. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to protect the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data, or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication of personal data, is intended to enable the controller to offer the data subject contents or services that may only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free to modify the personal data specified during the registration at any time, or to have them completely deleted from the data stock of the controller.

The controller shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each data subject as to what personal data are stored about the data subject. In addition, the data controller shall correct or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations. A data protection officer named in this data protection declaration and all the employees of the data controller are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

6. Subscription to our newsletter

On the website of the Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V., users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our association’s newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the data controller when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.

The Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V informs its customers and partners regularly by means of a newsletter about offers. The newsletter can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address entered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter delivery using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to check whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorized receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date and therefore serves as a legal safeguard for the controller.

The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as this could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or a change in technical conditions. There is no disclosure of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The data subject may terminate his or her subscription to our newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for the newsletter distribution can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, a corresponding link is provided in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller, or to communicate this to the controller in a different way.

6.1. Newsletter tracking

The newsletter of the Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V. contains tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the Europäisches BibelTraining Centrum e. V. may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects.

Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Affected persons are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the person responsible for the processing. The European Bible Training Center e. V. automatically interprets a cancellation of the newsletter as a revocation.

6.2 Use of the “MailChimp” mailing service

The newsletter is sent via “MailChimp”, a newsletter distribution platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE # 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

The e-mail addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in the context of these notes, are stored on the servers of MailChimp in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore, according to its own information, MailChimp can use this data to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for technical optimization of the delivery and presentation of the newsletter or for economic purposes, to determine which countries the recipients come from. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or pass them on to third parties.

We trust in the reliability and IT and data security of MailChimp. MailChimp is certified under the US-EU data protection agreement “Privacy Shield” and is thus committed to complying with EU data protection requirements. Furthermore, we have concluded a “Data Processing Agreement” with MailChimp. This is a contract in which MailChimp is committed to protecting our users’ data, processing it on our behalf in accordance with its data protection regulations and, in particular, not disclosing it to third parties. You can view MailChimp’s privacy policy here:

7. Contact via the website

Due to legal regulations, the website of the Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V. contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our association and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or through a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller is stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no disclosure of this personal data to third parties.

8. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or if this is done by the European directive and regulation giver or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the storage purpose no longer applies, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

9. Rights of the data subject

a) Right to confirmation

Every data subject has the right, as granted by the European directive and regulatory authority, to require the controller to confirm whether personal data relating to him or her is being processed.

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information about whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information on the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact us at any time.

c) Right to rectification

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, under consideration of the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary declaration.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of rectification, they can contact us at any time.

 d) Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies, as long as the processing is not necessary:

The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
The data subject withdraws consent to which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing. The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) GDPR to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 DS-GVO objection to the processing.
The personal data has been processed unlawfully.
The deletion of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation under Union or national law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data has been collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 para. 1 DS-GVO.

If one of the above reasons is correct and a data subject wishes to initiate the deletion of personal data stored at Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V, they can contact one of our employees at any time. The Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V will arrange for the deletion request to be complied with immediately

If the personal data has been made public by the Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V and our association, as the controller, is in accordance with Art. 17 para. 1 DS-GVO obliged to delete personal data, the European Bible Training Centrum e. V, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, shall take reasonable measures, including technical measures, to inform other data controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested that these other data controllers delete all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data, unless the processing is necessary. The Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V. will take the necessary steps in individual cases.

e) Right of restriction of processing

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful, the data subject refuses to delete the personal data and instead requests the restriction of the use of the personal data.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs them in order to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) of the GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh those of the data subject.

If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject requests the restriction of personal data stored at Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V., they can contact us at any time. The Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V. will arrange the restriction of the processing.

f) Right to data portability

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format

He or she also has the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data has been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 letter a DS-GVO or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 letter b DS-GVO and the processing is carried out with the aid of automated procedures, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, in exercising the right to data transfer in accordance with Art. 20 para. 1 DS-GVO, the data subject has the right to obtain that the personal data be transferred directly from one responsible party to another responsible party, insofar as this is technically feasible and provided that this does not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons.

To assert the right to data transferability, the data subject can contact the Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V at any time.

g) Right to object

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time, to processing of personal data concerning him or her, which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V. will no longer process personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can prove compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that outweigh the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.

If the Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject registers an objection to the processing of data for direct marketing purposes with the Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V, the Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by the Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact the European Bible Training Center. In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, the data subject may exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, if the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is not authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, the Europäisches Bibel Training Centrum e. V is to take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, which includes at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to state his or her own position, and to challenge the decision.

If the data subject wishes to assert rights with regard to automated decisions, they can contact us at any time.

i) Right to withdraw data protection consent

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to processing of his or her personal data at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the consent, he or she may, at any time, contact us.

10. Data protection for applications and in the application process

The data controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application. The processing can also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends the relevant application documents by electronic means, for example by email or via a web form on the website, to the data controller for processing. If the data controller concludes a training contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If no training contract is concluded with the applicant by the data controller, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the data controller conflict with such deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

11. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Facebook

On this website, the controller has integrated components of the enterprise Facebook. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is a place for social meetings on the Internet, an online community, which usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows social network users to create private profiles, upload photos, and network through friend requests, among other things.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the United States or Canada, the data controller is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical process, Facebook receives information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the person concerned.

If the data subject is logged on to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting each time the person visits our website and for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the “Like” button, or if the data subject submits a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

Facebook always receives, through the Facebook component, information about a visit to our website by the data subject, whenever the data subject is logged in on Facebook at the same time as accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Facebook account before accessing our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, which is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. Furthermore, it is explained there what setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, different applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook, for example the Facebook blocker from the provider Webgraph, which can be obtained at http://webgraph.com/resources/facebookblocker/. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

12. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data about from which website a person has come to another website (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages of the website were accessed or how often and for which duration a sub-page was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for a cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The operating company of Google Analytics components is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymizelp” for the web analysis via Google Analytics. _anonymizelp”. By means of this addition, the IP address of the data subject’s Internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google if access to our Internet pages is from a Member State of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet site for us.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By placing the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. During the course of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website, as stated above, at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the Internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.

In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. To do this, the data subject must download a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google.

13. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Jetpack for WordPress

The controller has integrated Jetpack on this website. Jetpack is a WordPress plug-in that offers the operator of a website based on WordPress additional functions. Jetpack allows the website operator, among other things, an overview of the visitors to the site. The display of related posts and publications or the ability to share content on the site also makes it possible to increase visitor numbers. Security functions are also integrated into Jetpack so that a website using Jetpack is better protected against brute force attacks. Jetpack also optimizes and accelerates the loading of images integrated on the website.

The operating company of the Jetpack plug-in for WordPress is Automattic Inc., 132 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. The operating company uses the tracking technology of Quantcast Inc., 201 Third Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.

Jetpack places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a Jetpack component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to submit data for analysis purposes to Automattic through the respective Jetpack component. As part of this technical process, Automattic receives data that is subsequently used to create an overview of website visits. The data obtained in this way serves the analysis of the behavior of the data subject, which has accessed the website of the controller and is evaluated with the aim of optimizing the website. The data collected through the Jetpack component is not used without previously obtaining of a separate express consent of the data subject to identify the data subject. The data is also made known to Quantcast. Quantcast uses the data for the same purposes as Automattic.

The data subject can prevent the placing of cookies by our website, as described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Automattic/Quantcast from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Automattic may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by the Jetpack cookie and related to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Automattic/Quantcast. To do this, the data subject must click the opt-out button under the link https://www.quantcast.com/opt-out/, which places an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie placed with this purpose is stored on the information technology system used by the data subject. If the cookies are deleted on the system of the data subject, then the data subject must call up the link again and place a new opt-out cookie.

With the placement of the opt-out cookie, however, the possibility exists that the websites of the controller are not fully usable anymore by the data subject. The applicable data protection provisions of Automattic may be accessed under https://automattic.com/privacy/abrufbar. Quantcast’s current privacy policy is available at https://www.quantcast.com/privacy/abrufbar.

14. Data protection provisions about the application and use of X Corp. (Formerly known as “Twitter”)

On this website, the controller has integrated components of X Corp. (formerly named “Twitter”). X Corp. is a multilingual, publicly-accessible microblogging service on which users may publish and spread so-called tweets, e.g. short messages, which are limited to 140 characters. These short messages are available for everyone, including those who are not logged on to X Corp. However, the tweets are also displayed to the followers of the respective user. Followers are other X users who follow the tweets of a user. Furthermore, X enables a broad audience to be addressed via hashtags, links, or retweets.

The operating company of X Corp. is X Holdings Copr. Bastrop Texas, United States

Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the data controller and on which a X component (X button) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective X component to download a representation of the corresponding X component from X. Further information about the X buttons is available under https://about.twitter.com/de/resources/buttons. During the course of this technical procedure, X gains knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject. The purpose of integrating X components is to enable our users to redistribute the contents of this website, to publicize this website in the digital world, and to increase our visitor numbers.

If the data subject is logged on to X at the same time, X recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting each time the person visits our website and for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected by the X component and associated with the respective X account of the data subject. When the data subject clicks on one of the X buttons integrated on our website, X assigns this information to the personal X user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.

X always receives information via the X component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to X at the same time as accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the X component or not. If such a transmission of information to X is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging out of their X account before a call-up to our website is made.

The applicable data protection provisions of X may be accessed under https://privacy.x.com/.

15. Data protection provisions about the application and use of YouTube

On this website, the controller has integrated components of YouTube.

YouTube allows you to publish all kinds of videos, so you can access both full movies and TV broadcasts, as well as music videos, trailers, and videos made by users via the Internet portal.

YouTube’s operating company is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the data controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube may be obtained under https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/. During the course of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting when a subpage containing a YouTube video is accessed. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.

YouTube and Google will receive information through the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website, if the data subject at the time of the call to our website is logged in on YouTube; this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on a YouTube video or not. If such a transmission of this information to YouTube and Google is not desirable for the data subject, the delivery may be prevented if the data subject logs off from his or her own YouTube account before a call-up to our website is made.

The data protection provisions published by YouTube, which are available at https://www.google.de/intl/policies/privacy/, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

16. Payment method: data protection provisions about the use of Klarna as a payment method

On this website, the controller has integrated Klarna components. Klarna is an online payment service provider that allows you to purchase on account or make flexible installment payments. Klarna also offers other services, such as buyer protection or identity and credit checks.

Klarna’s operating company is Klarna AB, Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden.

If the data subject selects either “Kauf auf Rechnung” (“purchase via bill payment”) or “Ratenkauf” (“hire purchase”/ “pay in installments”) as the payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, the data of the data subject will be automatically transmitted to Klarna. By selecting one of these payment options, the data subject consents to the transmission of personal data required for the processing of the invoice or hire purchase or for identity and credit checks.

The personal data transmitted to Klarna is usually first name, last name, address, date of birth, gender, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, as well as other data necessary for the processing of an invoice or installment purchase. Personal data related to the respective order is also required to process the purchase contract. In particular, there may be a mutual exchange of payment information, such as bank details, card number, expiry date and CVC code, number of items, item number, data on goods and services, prices and taxes, information on previous purchasing behavior or other information on the financial situation of the data subject.

The transmission of the data is intended in particular for identity verification, payment administration and fraud prevention. The controller shall transfer personal data to Klarna, in particular, if a legitimate interest in the transmission is given. The personal data exchanged between Klarna and the data controller will be transmitted by Klarna to credit reference agencies. This transmission is intended for identity and credit checks.

Klarna also passes on the personal data to affiliated companies (Klarna Group) and service providers or subcontractors to the extent necessary to fulfill the contractual obligations or to process the data in the order.

In order to decide on the establishment, execution, or termination of a contractual relationship, Klarna collects and uses data and information about the previous payment behavior of the data subject, as well as probability values for their behavior in the future (so-called scoring). The calculation of the scoring is carried out on the basis of scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedures.

The data subject has the option to revoke consent to the handling of personal data at any time from Klarna. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.

The applicable data protection provisions of Klarna may be retrieved under https://cdn.klarna.com/1.0/shared/content/policy/data/en_gb/data_protection.pdf.

17. Payment Method: Data Protection Provisions about PayPal as a Payment Processor

On this website, the controller has integrated components of PayPal. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. In addition, PayPal offers the option of processing virtual payments via credit cards if a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an e-mail address, which is why there is no classic account number. PayPal makes it possible to trigger online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also acts as a trustee and offers buyer protection services.

The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

If the data subject selects “PayPal” as the payment option during the ordering process in our online store, the data of the data subject will be transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject agrees to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing.

The personal data transmitted to PayPal is usually first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. Personal data necessary for the processing of the purchase contract also includes personal data related to the respective order.

The purpose of the data transfer is to process payments and prevent fraud. The controller will transfer personal data to PayPal, in particular, if a legitimate interest in the transfer exists. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the data subject shall be transmitted by PayPal to economic credit agencies. This transmission is intended for identity and creditworthiness checks.

PayPal may also transfer personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors insofar as this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or for data to be processed in the order.

The data subject has the option to revoke consent for the handling of personal data at any time from PayPal. A revocation does not have any effect on personal data that must be processed, used or transmitted for the (contractual) processing of payments. PayPal’s current data protection provisions can be found at https://www.paypal.com/us/legalhub/paypal/privacy-full .

18. Payment Method: Data protection provisions about the use of Sofortüberweisung as a payment processor

On this website, the controller has integrated components of Sofortüberweisung. Sofortüberweisung is a payment service that allows cashless payment of products and services on the Internet. Sofortüberweisung is a technical procedure by which the online dealer immediately receives a payment confirmation. This enables a dealer to deliver goods, services or downloads to the customer immediately after the order.

The operating company of Sofortüberweisung is SOFORT GmbH, Fußbergstraße 1, 82131 Gauting, Germany.

If the data subject chooses “Sofortüberweisung” (“immediate transfer”) as the payment option in our online shop during the ordering process, the data of the data subject will be transmitted to Sofortüberweisung. By selecting this payment option, the data subject agrees to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing.

During the purchase process via Sofortüberweisung, the buyer transmits the PIN and TAN to Sofort GmbH. Sofortüberweisung then carries out a transfer to the online merchant after technically checking the account balance and retrieving further data to check the account coverage. The execution of the financial transaction is then automatically communicated to the online merchant.

The personal data exchanged with Sofortüberweisung is first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. The transmission of the data is intended for payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will also transfer other personal data if there is a legitimate interest in the transmission. The personal data exchanged between Sofortüberweisung and the controller will be transmitted by Sofortüberweisung to economic credit agencies. This transfer is intended for identity and credit checks.

Sofortüberweisung may pass on personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors to the extent necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or to have the data processed in the order.

The data subject has the option to revoke consent for the handling of personal data at any time from Sofortüberweisung. A revocation does not have any effect on personal data that must be processed, used or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.

The applicable data protection provisions of Sofortüberweisung can be found at https://cdn.klarna.com/1.0/shared/content/legal/terms/en/sofort_open_banking

19. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 I lit. a DS-GVO serves our association as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our association is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 l lit. c DS-GVO. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were to be injured and his name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 1 lit. d DS-GVO.

Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 l lit. f DS-GVO. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our association or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47, second sentence, of the DS-GvO).

20. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

21. Duration for which personal data is stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective legal retention period. After the deadline, the corresponding data is routinely deleted if it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of the contract.

22. Legal or contractual requirements to provide personal data; Necessity for the conclusion of the contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of not providing the data.

We herwith inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provide personal data, which we must subsequently process. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data when our association signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.

Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact us. Our data protection officer clarifies for the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

23. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible association, we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.

This privacy policy was created with the help of the privacy policy generator of DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, which conducts data protection audits, in cooperation with RC GmbH, which operates IT remarketing, and the media law firm WILDE BEUGER SOLMECKE.
