Data security
We take technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access as comprehensively as possible. We use an encryption process on our websites. Your data is transmitted from your computer to our server and vice versa via the Internet using TLS encryption. You can usually recognize this by the fact that the lock symbol in the status bar of your browser is closed and the address line begins with https://.

Data processing procedures

Usage data
When you visit our website, we temporarily store so-called usage data on the basis of Section 6(1)(g) KDG. We use the usage data for statistical purposes in order to improve the quality of our website. We also use this information to make it possible to access our website, to control and administer our systems and to improve the design of the website. These purposes pursued by us also constitute the legitimate interest within the meaning of Section 6(1)(g) KDG. The data set consists of:

• the name and address of the requested content,
• the date and time of the query,
• the amount of data transferred,
• the access status (content transferred, content not found),
• the description of the web browser and operating system used,
• the referral link, which indicates from which page you came to ours.

In addition, we store the anonymized IP address transmitted by your web browser (shortened by the last 6 digits) for a strictly earmarked period of 24 hours in the interest of being able to detect, limit and eliminate attacks on our websites.

Use of cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files that can be stored and read in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user’s computer system. They make it possible to store information for a certain period of time and to identify the visitor’s computer. This facilitates navigation and makes our website more user-friendly. Cookies also help us to identify particularly popular areas of our website. A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are stored beyond the individual session.

Some cookies are required to use our website. We do not use these cookies for analysis, tracking or advertising purposes. Some of these cookies only contain information on certain settings and are not personal. They may also be necessary to enable user guidance, security and implementation of the site. We use these cookies on the basis of Section 6(1)(g) KDG, based on our legitimate interest in being able to offer basic website functions to ensure that functionality is maintained.

You can set your browser so that it informs you about the placement of cookies. This makes the use of cookies transparent for you. You can also delete cookies at any time via the corresponding browser setting and prevent the setting of new cookies. Please note that our web pages may then not be displayed and some functions may no longer be technically available. In addition, we also use technically non-essential cookies on our website.

To adjust your cookie settings, please click the following button:

Contact
You have the option of contacting us by post, telephone or e-mail. Your data will be deleted after your request has been processed. This is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.

The legal basis for the processing of data is Section 6(1)(g) KDG. We have a legitimate interest in being in contact with the users of the website and answering requests addressed to us. If the request is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is § 6 para. 1 lit. c) KDG.

Disclosure of data
We only disclose your data to third parties if we are legally obliged to do so or if you have consented to the disclosure (Sections 6 (1) (b), 11 (2) (a) KDG).

Data erasure
If there is no statutory retention period, the data will be erased when storage is no longer required.

Donation form and call for donations
If you would like to support the Sozialdienst katholischer Frauen e.V. Berlin with a donation, you can use our donation form on our website. We will then receive your data directly and use it to manage your donation on the basis of Section 6(1)(c) KDG.

Map services
On our websites, we embed map services that are not stored on our servers. To ensure that accessing our websites with embedded map services does not automatically result in the third-party provider’s content being reloaded, we only display locally stored preview images of the maps in a first step. This means that the third-party provider does not receive any information.

Only after you click on the preview image will the third-party provider’s content be loaded. As a result, the third-party provider receives the information that you have accessed our site and the usage data technically required in this context. We have no influence on further data processing by the third-party provider.
The embedding takes place on the basis of your consent, provided that you have previously given your consent by clicking on the preview image.

Please note that the embedding of some map services means that your data will be processed outside the EU or EEA. In some countries, there is a risk that authorities may access the data for security and monitoring purposes without you being informed or having the right to appeal. If we use providers in insecure third countries and you give your consent, the transfer to an insecure third country takes place on the basis of Section 41 (1) KDG.

Google Fonts
For the uniform display of fonts, web fonts provided by Google are used locally on our website via our server. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. No data is transmitted to Google when web fonts are integrated in this way. The data is processed to optimize the presentation of the website. This purpose pursued by us also represents the legitimate interest within the meaning of Section 6(1)(g) KDG.

CleanTalk
This website uses anti-spam plugins from CleanTalk. The provider is CleanTalk Inc, 711 S Carson Street, suite 4, Carson City, NV, 89701, USA (hereinafter “CleanTalk”).

CleanTalk serves to protect our website from spam activities (e.g. preventing unwanted advertising, unwanted messages or comments). For this purpose, CleanTalk collects various personal data such as IP address, e-mail address, nickname of the message sender, information about the JavaScript technology in the sender’s browser and the texts entered.

This information is transferred to a CleanTalk server in the EU and stored there.

For security reasons and to protect against spam, your data is processed in the CleanTalk Cloud Service and stored in log files for a maximum of 31 days. At the end of this period, this data will be completely deleted.

The use of CleanTalk is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its website spam activities as effectively as possible. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here:https://cleantalk.org/publicoffer#privacy.

Duration of data storage
Unless we have already informed you in detail about the storage period, we delete personal data when it is no longer required for the aforementioned processing purposes and no statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

Use of service providers
We pass on your data to service providers who support us in the operation of our websites and the associated processes as part of order processing in accordance with Section 29 KDG. Our service providers are strictly bound by our instructions and contractually obligated accordingly. These are service providers in the following categories:
– Hosting service provider/cloud service provider for the operation of our servers
– Service provider for ensuring IT security/IT support.

The service providers process the data exclusively on our instructions and are obliged to comply with the applicable data protection regulations. All processors have been carefully selected and are only given access to your data to the extent and for the period required to provide the services.

The servers of some of the service providers used by Sozialdienst katholischer Frauen e.V. Berlin may be located in the USA and other countries outside the European Union. Companies in these countries are subject to data protection laws that do not generally protect personal data to the same extent as is the case in the member states of the European Union. If your data is processed in a country that does not have a recognized high level of data protection like the European Union, we use contractual regulations or other recognized instruments to ensure that the level of data protection is secured as far as possible. With data recipients in third countries, we conclude the standard data protection clauses provided by the EU Commission for the processing of personal data in third countries.

Your rights as a data subject
As a data subject, you have the right to information about the personal data concerning you (Section 17 KDG) and to rectification of inaccurate data (Section 18 KDG) or erasure if one of the reasons specified in Section 19 KDG applies, e.g. if the data is no longer required for the purposes pursued. You also have the right to restriction of processing if one of the conditions specified in Section 20 KDG applies and, in the cases specified in Section 22 KDG, the right to data portability. If the processing of data is based on your consent, you are entitled to withdraw your consent to the use of your personal data at any time in accordance with Section 8 KDG. A revocation does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation. Every data subject also has the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if they are of the opinion that the processing of their data violates data protection regulations (Section 48 KDG).

Right to object
In cases in which we process your personal data on the legal basis of Section 6(1)(f) or (g) KDG, you have the right to object at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will then no longer process the personal data unless there are demonstrably compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
