Depending on your area of interest, on our website you will find the relevant contact forms with which you can communicate your wishes and data.

Examples:  Online donations, online campaign, become a sponsor, service/contact…

The data entered will only be used for the purposes of the respective proposal or service for which it is provided (e.g. donation administration, press enquiries).

In the event of important changes, e.g. in the scope of services or technically necessary modifications, we will use the given e-mail address to inform you.

As a rule, your data will be processed in Germany. However, to fulfil the purpose of the contract it may be passed on to an external processor within the European Union or European Economic Area where the data protection level is equivalent to Germany.

Should it be necessary to transfer your data to a service provider in a non-European country, we will first of all require the provider to adhere to the so-called EU standard contractual clauses, by which processing for us as a client must satisfy an appropriate data protection level that is comparable with the German standard, even if such a standard is not a legal requirement at its place of business.

We process and store your data for only as long as is needed for processing or compliance with statutory obligations. Once the purpose of processing ceases to exist, your data will be blocked or deleted.

Insofar as further statutory storage obligations exist, e.g. commercial or tax retention obligations (e.g. commercial code, tax code), we will block or delete your data upon expiration of the statutory retention period.

You have the following legal rights that may be asserted against us or our data protection supervisor:

1. Right of access: As an individual you have a right to request a confirmation of whether or not we are processing personal data concerning you. If this is the case, you have the right to demand information concerning this personal data as well as further information, e.g. purpose of processing, recipient and proposed retention period or criteria for determining how long it will be stored.
2. Right to rectification and completion: As an individual you have a right to request immediate rectification of incorrect data. With regard to the purpose of processing, you have the right to request the completion of incomplete data.
3. Right to deletion (“right to be forgotten”): As an individual you have a right to demand deletion for the following reasons, insofar as processing is not essential:
   • The data is no longer required for the original purposes.
   • You have withdrawn your consent under data protection law that was a basis for processing. This applies only when no other legal basis for the processing exists.
   • You lodge an objection pursuant to Article 21 (1) GDPR against processing and no overriding, justified reasons for processing exist, or you lodge an objection pursuant to Article 21 (2) GDPR against processing.
   • The data was processed illegally.
   • The deletion of data is required by EU law or the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.
   • Data relating to the services offered by the information society was collected pursuant to Article 8 (1).
4. Right to restrict processing: As an individual you have a right to restrict processing, if additional requirements exist, e.g. you are of the opinion that the personal data is incorrect
5. Right to data portability: As an individual you have a right to receive personal data concerning you in a structured, commonly used and machine-legible format.
6. Right to object: As an individual you have a right to object at any time to the processing of personal data that was collected pursuant to Article 6 (1) e or f for reasons based on your particular situation. In the case of direct marketing, as an individual you have the right to lodge an objection at any time to the processing personal data concerning you for the purposes of such marketing. This shall also apply to profiling related to direct marketing.

or via e-mail to: info@menschenfuermenschen.org 

7. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: If you are of the opinion that the processing of your data is not in line with data protection regulations, you may lodge a complaint with a data protection authority at any time.
8. Right to withdraw consent under data protection law: You may withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of processing up to the time of withdrawal, however, will not be affected.

We use the web analysis tool “Matomo” on our website. This leading open source web analysis platform helps us to better understand the online behaviour of our website visitors and to adapt our website to their needs. Cookies are placed on your end device to enable us to analyse website usage in this way. We store the information collected in this way exclusively on our servers in Germany. As Matomo is self-hosted, we have full control over the data collected. We use Matomo with the “Automatically Anonymise Visitor IPs” function activated. This means that the IP addresses collected are truncated (so-called IP masking). A reference to specific persons can thus be excluded. The legal basis for the processing of data with the help of Matomo is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO. Further information on the terms of use of Matomo and the data protection regulations can be found here.

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC. (“Google”). Google Analytics is used in accordance with the regulations on which the German data protection authorities and Google have agreed.

Information on the third-party provider: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001.

Conditions of use: http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html, Overview of data protection: http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/learn/privacy.html, and Data Privacy Statement: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and enable us to analyse your use of our website. The information generated by cookies about your use of this website is generally passed on to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Because IP anonymization has been activated on this website, as a Google user your IP address is first truncated within the member states of the European Union or other parties to the agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide other services to the website operator that are related to the use of the website and the Internet. Google will not associate the IP address provided by your browser for the Google Analytics process with any other data.

This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. IP addresses can therefore be processed only in abbreviated form in order to prevent personal references.

You can prevent the storage of cookies making the appropriate settings in your browser software. Please note, however, that in this case you we may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

Furthermore, you can prevent the information generated by cookies regarding your usage of the website (including your IP address) from being transmitted to and processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available from the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This “data that cannot be assigned to a specific individual” has already been referred to in our Data Privacy Statement;

This may be:

• Browser type/version
• Operating system used

We process and use personal data acquired through the use of our website (usage data) only insofar as this is required to optimise the service, settle payments and enable you to use it.
• In order to send you notifications, including promotional material
• To make our online offerings more attractive for you; to recognise areas of particular interest or display user-based online marketing.
• For web analysis and evaluation, in order to detect any technical problems at an early stage and react appropriately.

The legal basis for processing your personal data is the fulfilment of the contract with you pursuant to Article 6 (1) b GDPR. If your consent additionally exists, Article 6 (1) a GDPR is a further legal basis.

Your data is also transferred for the above-named processing purposes to the bodies responsible (IT, donation administration, fundraising & communication) within our Foundation and to external companies. As so-called external processors, these process your data on our behalf and are obliged to exercise due care when handling it.

We utilise such service providers in the areas of

• IT
• Logistics
• Marketing
• Fundraising & communication

We transfer personal data to external bodies in order to fulfil our contractual or statutory obligations. We are legally obliged to submit data to state authorities, e.g. tax and supervisory authorities and law enforcement authorities.

When data is transferred to external bodies in third countries, i.e. outside the EU or EER, we ensure that these bodies treat your personal data with the same care as within the EU or EER. We only transfer personal data to third countries for which the EU Commission has confirmed an appropriate level of protection or if we can ensure the careful handling of personal data through contractual agreements or other suitable guarantees.
