4. purposes of data processing

Newsletter

We use ‘Mailchimp’, a service provided by Intuit Inc, 2700 Coast Avenue, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, to send the newsletter.

Your data (name, email address) is stored on Mailchimp's servers in the USA.
We have concluded an order processing contract with Mailchimp, which obliges Mailchimp to protect the data of our users and not to pass it on to third parties.

Mailchimp offers statistical analyses of user behaviour. Among other things, it records whether an email has been opened and which links have been clicked on. This analysis is also carried out on the basis of your consent.
The aim of these analyses is to better adapt the content of our newsletter to the interests of the recipients.

Further information can be found in Mailchimp's privacy policy: https://www.intuit.com/privacy/statement/

Contact form

Our website offers you the opportunity to contact us via a contact form and/or by e-mail. If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions and will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.

Analytics

We use the open source web analysis software Matomo on this website to anonymously evaluate user behaviour and optimise our content. The Matomo instance is operated exclusively on our own server so that no data is transmitted to third parties.

Matomo uses cookies to recognise returning visitors and stores information such as

  • anonymised IP address (shortened by the last two bytes),
  • pages accessed,
  • length of visit,
  • browser used and operating system.

As the data is processed entirely locally and IP addresses are anonymised, there is no risk to your rights and freedoms.

Online donations

We use the RaiseNow service offered by RaiseNow AG, Hardturmstrasse 101, 8005 Zurich, Switzerland, to process online donations.

When you make a payment via our donation form, the data you enter (e.g. name, address, e-mail address, payment information) is transmitted to RaiseNow and processed there for payment processing.

RaiseNow fulfils the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation and guarantees an appropriate level of data protection. Further information on data processing by RaiseNow can be found in RaiseNow's privacy policy at: https://www.raisenow.com/de-ch/datenschutz

If we commission service providers to process data (e.g. for sending newsletters), this is done as part of order processing in accordance with Art. 9 FADP.

6. storage and deletion of data

We only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the above-mentioned purposes or as required by statutory retention periods. The data will then be deleted or anonymised.
