Wilderness International

 

1. introduction

In the following, we provide information about the processing of personal data when using

  • our website www.wilderness-international.org
  • our profiles in social media.

Personal data is all data that can be related to a specific natural person, e.g. their name or IP address.

1.2 Scope of data processing, processing purposes and legal bases

 

The scope of data processing, processing purposes and legal bases are explained in detail below. The following legal bases for data processing can generally be considered:

  • Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent.
  • Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR is the legal basis insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract, e.g. if a site visitor purchases a product from us or we perform a service for them. This legal basis also applies to processing that is necessary for pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries about our products or services.
  • Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR applies if we fulfill a legal obligation by processing personal data, as may be the case in tax law, for example.
  • Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis if we can rely on legitimate interests to process personal data, e.g. for cookies that are required for the technical operation of our website.

1.3 Data processing outside the EEA


Insofar as we transfer data to service providers or other third parties outside the EEA, adequacy decisions of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR guarantee the security of the data during transfer, insofar as these exist, as is the case, for example, for the UK, Canada and Israel.


In the case of data transfer to service providers in the USA, the legal basis for data transfer is an adequacy decision by the EU Commission if the service provider is also certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.


In other cases (e.g. if there is no adequacy decision), the legal basis for data transfer is usually standard contractual clauses, i.e. unless we indicate otherwise. These are a set of rules adopted by the EU Commission and form part of the contract with the respective third party. According to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. b GDPR, they guarantee the security of data transfer. Many of the providers have issued contractual guarantees that go beyond the standard contractual clauses and protect the data beyond the standard contractual clauses. These are, for example, guarantees regarding the encryption of the data or regarding the obligation of the third party to inform the data subject if law enforcement agencies wish to access data.


1.4 Storage period


Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, 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, i.e. the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that we must retain for commercial or tax law reasons.

 

1.5 Rights of the data subjects


Data subjects have the following rights vis-à-vis us with regard to their personal data:

  • Right to information,
  • Right to rectification or erasure,
  • Right to restriction of processing,
  • Right to object to the processing,
  • Right to data portability,
  • Right to withdraw consent at any time.

Data subjects also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of their personal data. Contact details of the data protection supervisory authorities can be found at https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Service/Anschriften/Laender/Laender-node.html.

 

1.6 Obligation to provide data


In the context of a business relationship or other relationship, donors, interested parties or third parties only have to provide us with the personal data that is required for the establishment, execution and termination of the business relationship or other relationship or that we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will generally have to refuse to conclude a contract or provide a service or will no longer be able to perform an existing contract or other relationship.
Mandatory information is marked as such.


1.7 No automated decision-making in individual cases


In principle, we do not use fully automated decision-making in accordance with Article 22 GDPR to establish and implement a business relationship or other relationship. If we use these procedures in individual cases, we will provide separate information about this if this is required by law.

 

1.8 Making contact


When you contact us, e.g. by email or telephone, the data you provide us with (e.g. names and email addresses) will be stored by us in order to answer your questions. The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR) in answering inquiries addressed to us. We delete the data collected in this context after storage is no longer necessary or restrict processing if there are statutory retention obligations.

 

1.9 Donor surveys

 

From time to time, we conduct donor surveys to get to know our donors and their wishes better. We collect the data requested in each case. It is our legitimate interest to get to know our donors and their wishes better, so that the legal basis for the associated data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. We delete the data once the results of the surveys have been evaluated.

2nd Newsletter

We reserve the right to inform donors who have already used our services or purchased goods about our offers from time to time by email or other means if they have not objected to this. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in direct advertising (Recital 47 GDPR). Donors can object to the use of their email address for advertising purposes at any time at no additional cost, for example via the link at the end of each email or by sending an email to our email address stated above.


Interested parties have the option of subscribing to a free newsletter. We process the data provided during registration exclusively for the purpose of sending the newsletter. Registration takes place by selecting the corresponding field on our website, by ticking the corresponding field in a paper document or by another clear action, whereby interested parties declare their consent to the processing of their data, so that the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, e.g. by clicking on the corresponding link in the newsletter or by sending a message to the email address provided above. The processing of the data until revocation remains lawful even in the event of revocation.


Based on the consent of the recipients (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR), we also measure the opening and click rate of our newsletters in order to understand which content is relevant for our recipients.


We send newsletters using the Brevo tool from the provider Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Str. 126, 10179 Berlin (privacy policy: https://de.sendinblue.com/legal/privacypolicy/). The provider processes content, usage, meta/communication data and contact data in the EU.

This storage and access takes place on the basis of the following provisions:

  • Insofar as this storage or access is absolutely necessary for us to provide the service expressly requested by website visitors on our website (e.g. to implement a chatbot used by the website visitor or to ensure the IT security of our website), it is carried out on the basis of Section 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG.
  • Otherwise, this storage or access is based on the consent of the website visitor (Section 25 (1) TDDDG).

Downstream data processing is carried out in accordance with the following sections and on the basis of the provisions of the GDPR.

 

3.2 Informational use of the website


When using the website for informational purposes, i.e. when visitors to the site do not send us information separately, we collect the personal data that the browser transmits to our server in order to ensure the stability and security of our website. This is our legitimate interest, so the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

 

These data are:

  • Data volume transferred in each case

4. data processing on social media platforms

We are represented on social media networks in order to present our organization and our services. The operators of these networks regularly process their users' data for advertising purposes. Among other things, they create user profiles from their online behavior, which are used, for example, to display advertising on the pages of the networks and elsewhere on the Internet that corresponds to the interests of the users. For this purpose, the network operators store information on user behavior in cookies on the user's computer. It is also possible that the operators may combine this information with other data. Users can find further information and information on how users can object to processing by the site operators in the privacy policies of the respective operators listed below. It is also possible that the operators or their servers are located in non-EU countries, meaning that they process data there. This may result in risks for users, e.g. because the enforcement of their rights is made more difficult or government agencies gain access to the data.


When users of the networks contact us via our profiles, we process the data provided to us in order to respond to the inquiries. This is our legitimate interest, so the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

Facebook explains exactly which data is processed at https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data. Data subjects can exercise their rights both against us and against Facebook. However, according to our agreement with Facebook, we are obliged to forward requests to Facebook. Data subjects will therefore receive faster feedback if they contact Facebook directly.
