5. Terminology Used
‘Personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as ‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an location data, an online identifier (e.g. a cookie) or one or more special features that express the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
‘Processing’ means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means. The term is broad and covers virtually any handling of data.
The term ‘controller’ refers to 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.
6. Relevant Legal Bases
In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you of the legal basis for our data processing. If the legal basis is not mentioned in the data protection declaration, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a and Art. 7 GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfil our services and carry out contractual measures and respond to enquiries is Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfil our legal obligations is Article 6(1) (c) GDPR, and the legal basis for processing to safeguard our legitimate interests is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
7. Cooperation with Processors and Third Parties
If we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors or third parties) as part of our processing, transfer it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this will only be done on the basis of legal permission (e.g. if the transfer of data to third parties, such as payment service providers, is necessary for the fulfilment of the contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR), you have consented, a legal obligation provides for this 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 “order processing contract”, this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.
The transfer of personal data to a third country or an international organisation only takes place under the conditions described in this section. A third country is a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA) in which the GDPR does not apply directly. A third country is considered unsafe if the EU Commission has not issued an adequacy decision for this country in accordance with Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR, which confirms that there is adequate protection for personal data in the country.
The USA is a so-called unsafe third country. This means that the level of data protection in the USA cannot be compared with that in the EU. If personal data is transferred to the USA, there is a risk that US authorities may gain access to the data on the basis of the PRISM and UPSTREAM surveillance programmes based on Section 702 of the FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act), as well as on the basis of Executive Order 12333 or Presidential Police Directive 28. EU citizens have no effective legal defence against this access in the USA or the EU.
In this privacy policy, we inform you when and how we transfer personal data to the USA or other insecure third countries.
If we process data in a third country or if this occurs in the context of the use of third-party services or disclosure or transfer of data to third parties, this is only done to fulfil our (pre)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, on the basis of a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests.
Subject to legal or contractual authorisations, we process or have the data processed in a third country only if the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are met. This means, for example, that the processing takes place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised determination of a level of data protection corresponding to the EU (e.g. for the USA through the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework”) or compliance with officially recognised special contractual obligations (so-called “standard contractual clauses”).
8. Rights of the Data Subjects

9. Cookies and the 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 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, 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 contents of a shopping basket in an online shop or a login status can be stored. Cookies that remain stored even after the browser is closed are referred to as ‘permanent’ or ‘persistent’. For example, the login status can be stored if users visit the site after several days. Similarly, 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 that are offered by providers other than the person responsible for the online offer (otherwise, if it is only their cookies, they are referred to as ‘first- party cookies’).
We may use temporary and permanent cookies and explain this in our data protection declaration.
If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to disable the corresponding option in their browser’s system settings. Stored cookies can be deleted in the browser’s system settings. Excluding cookies may lead to functional restrictions of this online offer.
A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be declared for a variety of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US site https://www.youronlinechoices.com. Furthermore, cookies can be disabled by changing the settings in your browser. Please note that this may prevent you from using all the functions of this website.
10. Deletion of Data
The data we process will be deleted or restricted in its processing in accordance with Articles 17 and 18 of the GDPR. Unless expressly stated in this data protection declaration, 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 any 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 that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be stored for commercial or tax reasons.
In accordance with the legal requirements in Germany, data is stored for 6 years in particular in accordance with § 257 para. 1 HGB (commercial books, inventories, opening balances, annual financial statements, commercial letters, accounting vouchers, etc.) and for 10 years in accordance with § 147 para. 1 AO (books, records, management reports, accounting vouchers, commercial and business letters, documents relevant for taxation, etc.).
11. Business-related Processing
We also process:
- contract data (e.g. subject matter of the contract, term, customer category, sustaining membership).
- Payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history) from our customers, interested parties and business partners for the purpose of providing contractual services (e.g. sponsorship memberships), service and customer care, marketing, advertising and market research.
12. Hosting
The hosting services we use are used to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services and technical maintenance services that we use to operate this online offer.
In doing so, we or our hosting providers process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data of customers, interested parties and visitors to this online offer on the basis of our legitimate interests in the efficient and secure provision of this online offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO i.V.m. Art. 28 DSGVO (conclusion of a contract processing agreement).
13. Collection of Access Data and Log Files
We, or our hosting provider, collect data on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR about every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files). The access data includes the name of the website accessed, the file, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, the notification of successful retrieval, the browser type and version, the user’s operating system, the referrer URL (the previously visited page), the IP address and the requesting provider.
For security reasons (e.g. to investigate cases of abuse or fraud), log file information is stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. Data that must be retained for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until the respective incident has been definitively resolved.
14. Administration, Financial Accounting, Office Organisation, Contact Management
We process data as part of administrative tasks and the organisation of our business, financial accounting and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving. In doing so, we process the same data that we process as part of the provision of our contractual services. The processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c. GDPR, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. The processing affects customers, interested parties, business partners and website visitors. The purpose and our interest in the processing lies in the administration, financial accounting, office organisation, archiving of data, i.e. tasks that serve to maintain our business activities, perform our tasks and provide our services. The deletion of data with regard to contractual services and contractual communication corresponds to the information provided for these processing activities.
In doing so, we disclose or transfer data to the tax authorities, consultants, such as tax advisors or auditors, as well as other fee offices and payment service providers.
Furthermore, we store information on suppliers, organisers and other business partners, e.g. for the purpose of contacting them at a later date, on the basis of our business interests. We generally store this data, which is mostly company-related, permanently.
15. Contact
When you contact us (e.g. via contact form, e-mail or social media), the user’s information is processed in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR in order to process the contact request and its handling. The user’s information may be stored in a customer relationship management system (‘CRM system’) or comparable enquiry organisation.
We delete the requests if they are no longer required. We review the necessity every two years; Furthermore, the legal archiving obligations apply.
16. Newsletter
The following information is provided to inform you about the content of our newsletter, the registration, dispatch and statistical evaluation procedures, and your rights of objection in this regard. By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to receive it and to the procedures described.
(1) Content of the newsletter
We only send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications with advertising information (hereinafter referred to as ‘newsletters’) with the consent of the recipients or a legal authorisation. If the contents of a newsletter are specifically described in the context of a registration for the newsletter, they are decisive for the consent of the users. In addition, our newsletters contain information about our services and us.
(2) Double opt-in and logging
You can subscribe to our newsletter using a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after you have registered, you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary to prevent anyone from registering with someone else’s e-mail address. The registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation times, as well as the IP address. The changes to your data stored by the delivery service provider are also logged.
(3) Registration data
To register for the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide your e-mail address. Optionally, we ask you to provide a name so that we can address you personally in the newsletter.
(4) Legal basis
The newsletter is sent and the associated success measurement is carried out on the basis of the recipient’s consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR in conjunction with § 7 para. 2 no. 3 UWG or on the basis of the legal permission in accordance with § 7 para. 3 UWG.
(5) Recording of the registration process
The registration process is logged on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our interest is in the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves both our business interests and the expectations of our users, and also allows us to prove that we have consent.
(6) Statistical evaluation of usage behaviour
Based on your consent, we can also statistically analyse how our newsletter is used.
The newsletters contain a so-called ‘web beacon’, i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened or, if we use a dispatch service provider, from their server. As part of this retrieval, technical information such as information about the browser, your system, your IP address and the time of retrieval is collected.
This information is used for the technical improvement of our services and to analyse the target groups and their reading behaviour. In doing so, we can determine the retrieval locations (determinable via the IP address) and the access times. The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients.
The analyses help us to recognise the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content accordingly or to send different content according to the interests of our users.
You can withdraw your consent at any time. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. We only store the data collected for as long as is necessary for the above- mentioned purposes. When transferring data to third parties, such as our shipping service provider, we ensure that they process the data in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations. We take appropriate security measures to protect your data. You have the right to request information about the data stored by us, to correct incorrect data or to have your data deleted. You can also object to the processing of your personal data.
(7) Cancellation/revocation
You can cancel your subscription to our newsletter at any time, i.e. revoke your consent. A link to cancel the newsletter can be found at the end of each newsletter. We may store the e-mail addresses of those who have unsubscribed for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests before deleting them for the purpose of sending the newsletter in order to be able to prove a previously given consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defence against claims. An individual request for cancellation is possible at any time, provided that the former existence of consent is confirmed at the same time.

20. Integration of Third-Party Services and Content
We use content or service offers from third-party providers within our online offer on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). This is done in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as ‘content’).
20.1 Data processing by third-party providers
The integration of this content always requires that the third-party providers recognise the IP address of the user, as they would not be able to send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required to display this content. We endeavour to only use content whose providers only use the IP address to deliver the content.
In addition, third-party providers may use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as ‘web beacons’) for statistical or marketing purposes. These pixel tags can be used to analyse information such as the number of visitors to the pages of this website. The pseudonymised information may be stored in cookies on the user’s device and contain technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visiting times and other details about the use of our online offering.
20.2 Integration of specific services
20.2.1 Contact Form 7 Connector
20.2.2 Donorbox
20.2.3 Flamingo
This plugin stores submission data collected through contact forms, which may include the submitters’ personal information, in the database on the server that hosts the website.
20.2.4 LiteSpeed Cache
For your own information: LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress potentially stores a duplicate copy of every web page on display on your site. The pages are stored locally on the system where LiteSpeed server software is installed and are not transferred to or accessed by LiteSpeed employees in any way, except as necessary in providing routine technical support if you request it. All cache files are temporary, and may easily be purged before their natural expiration, if necessary, via a Purge All command. It is up to individual site administrators to come up with their own cache expiration rules.
In addition to caching, our WordPress plugin has online features provided by QUIC.cloud for Image Optimization, CSS Optimization and Low Quality Image Placeholder services. When one of those optimizations are requested, data is transmitted to a remote QUIC.cloud server, processed, and then transmitted back for use on your site. Now if using the QUIC.cloud CDN it uses LSCache technologies to access your site then host your site to others globally and also your data is not transferred to or accessed by QUIC.cloud employees in any way, except as necessary in providing maintenance or technical support. QUIC.cloud keeps copies of that data for up to 7 days and then permanently deletes them. Similarly, the WordPress plugin has a Reporting feature whereby a site owner can transmit an environment report to LiteSpeed so that we may better provide technical support. None of these features collects any visitor data. Only server and site data are involved.
