The Alfred Landecker Foundation takes the protection of your personal data seriously and wants you to feel safe and comfortable on our website. In the following we would like to explain how we protect your data and what it means for you when you use our (online) services.

Our employees are bound to data secrecy in accordance with the EU Data Protection Basic Regulation (EU-GDPR) and are regularly trained in the areas of data protection and data security.

In principle, it is possible to visit our Internet pages without providing any personal data. However, if you wish to take advantage of special services which we make available on our Internet pages, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will obtain your consent before processing.

The processing of your personal data, for example your name, address, e-mail address or telephone number, is always carried out in compliance with the Basic Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), as well as in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to us. In this data protection declaration we inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data processed by us during your visit on our Internet pages.

This is also accompanied by your rights as a data subject of the data protection processing, about which we would also like to inform you.

As the responsible body, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures in advance to ensure the most complete possible protection of the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions (e.g. e-mail) can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot always be guaranteed. This is especially true if the transmissions take place outside our sphere of influence. For this reason, you are always free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone, post or even in person.

Data protection specific terms

Our data protection declaration contains terms that are used by the European Directive and Regulation Giver when issuing the Data Protection Basic Regulation (GDPR).

Our data protection declaration should be comprehensible and understandable for you as a visitor to these Internet pages. To ensure this, we list below the definitions we use in accordance with the wording of Art. 4 GDPR: ​

4. Restriction on processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.

5. Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures which ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

6. Responsible body / Controller

The responsible body or the controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or any other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

Data receiver is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, authorities which may receive personal data in the course of a specific investigation, in accordance with Union or national law, shall not be considered as recipients.

9. Third party

Third party means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorized to process the personal data.

10. Consent

Consent shall mean any freely given specific and informed expression of the data subject's will in an informed and unequivocal manner, in the form of a declaration or other unequivocal affirmative act taken on a voluntary basis by the data subject to signify his or her agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

Cookies

We use cookies on our Internet pages. These are small text files that are stored on your computer system via an Internet browser (e.g. Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Edge, Internet Explorer, Opera). The following data, for example, are stored and transmitted within the cookies:

• Entered search terms
• Frequency of page views
• Use of website functions

The user data collected in this way is pseudonymised by technical precautions. It is therefore no longer possible to assign the data to the calling user. The data is not stored together with other personal data of the users.
Usually these cookies contain a cookie ID. This is a unique identifier for the cookie and consists of a string of characters that can be used to associate Internet pages and servers with the Internet browser you are using in which the cookie was stored. This enables the Internet pages and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A particular Internet browser can be recognized and identified by means of the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, we can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the setting of cookies.

You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If you deactivate the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, it is possible that not all functions of our website can be used to their full extent.

​Description and scope of data processing via our website

When you visit our website, our system automatically collects a range of general data and information from the computer system of the calling computer. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server:

• used browser types and versions
• the date and time of access to the website
• an Internet Protocol (IP) address

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about you as the person concerned. This information is rather required to

• to deliver the contents of our website correctly
• to optimise the contents of our website and the advertising for it
• to guarantee the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website
• to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for law enforcement in the event of a cyber attack

Purpose of the data processing

This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by us on the one hand statistically and on the other hand with the aim of increasing data protection and information security in our foundation in order to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data of the persons concerned.

Possibility of objection and removal

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. Therefore there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

Duration of storage or deletion and blocking of personal data

We will only store your personal data for as long as it is necessary for the purpose of storage or as long as this is permitted by the European Directives and Regulations or a country-specific legislator in laws or regulations to which we are subject.

If the purpose of storage ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed above expires, your personal data will be blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Contact possibility via the Internet site

On our website, you will find a contact form that allows you to quickly contact our company electronically and communicate with us directly. For this purpose, we use a general e-mail address to which several internally assigned persons have access.

If a person concerned contacts us by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the person concerned is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis from a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.

​
SSL encryption

We use SSL encryption on our Internet pages to protect your transmitted data (e.g. via the contact form) from unauthorised access by third parties in transit. Such a secure connection can be recognized by the prefix "https://" in the URL of your address line, e.g:

https://www. alfredlandecker.org
For unencrypted ones, the prefix looks like this: http://

Application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

We have integrated the component Google Analytics (with anonymization function) on our website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service for collecting, collecting and evaluating data on the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, data is collected about which website you came to our website from (so-called referrers), which sub-pages you access or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize our Internet pages and for cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

We use the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of your Internet connection from which you visit us is shortened and anonymised by Google if our Internet pages are accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another signatory state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is the analysis of visitor flows on our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website in order to compile online reports for us which show the activities on our website and to provide further services in connection with the use of our website.

Google Analytics sets a cookie on your information technology system to enable the analysis of the use of our website. Each time you call up one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by us and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on your information technology system (e.g. PC, tablet, smartphone) is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. Within the scope of this technical process, Google receives knowledge of personal data such as your IP address or browser fingerprint, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.

Cookies are used to store personal information about you, such as the time of access, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website. Whenever you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection you are using, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties. However, we have no influence on this.

You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting in your Internet browser and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via settings in your respective internet browser or by other software programs.

Furthermore, you have the opportunity to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics and relating to the use of our website and the processing of this data by Google, and to prevent such collection. For this purpose, the person concerned must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google to be an objection. If you delete, reformat or reinstall your information technology system at a later date, you will have to install the Browser Add-On again to deactivate Google Analytics. If the Browser Add-On is uninstalled or deactivated by you or another person within your sphere of control, you have the option of reinstalling or re-activating the Browser Add-On.

You will find the privacy policy for Google Analytics under the following links:

Use of newsletters

By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to receive it and to the following procedures for sending the newsletter. The following data is collected during the registration process:

• IP address of the user
• Date and time of registration
• E-mail address
• Title
• First name
• Last name
• Organization
• Function

During the registration process, the user's consent to the processing of this data is obtained.

We send e-mails with advertising content (hereinafter referred to as "Newsletter") only with the consent of the recipient, which he or she has given by recorded consent or a legal permission. If, in the course of registering for the newsletter, its contents are specifically described, they are decisive for the consent of the user. Furthermore, our newsletters contain information about our activities and us.

The registration to our newsletter is done in a double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with foreign e-mail addresses. The newsletter registrations are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation time as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored by the shipping service provider are also logged.

Registration data: To subscribe to the newsletter, you only need to enter your e-mail address. Optionally, we ask you to enter your name in the newsletter for personal contact.

The dispatch of the newsletter and the associated measurement of success is based on the consent of the recipient in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a), Art. 7 GDPR in conjunction with § 7 (2) No. 3 UWG or on the basis of the legal permission according to § 7 (3) UWG.

The registration procedure is recorded on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. We are interested in the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves our business interests, meets the expectations of the users and also allows us to provide proof of consent.

You can withdraw your consent to receive our newsletter at any time in writing, by telephone or by e-mail. You will find the link to unsubscribe from the newsletter at the end of each newsletter. We may store the unsubscribed e-mail addresses for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests before we delete them 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 deletion is possible at any time, provided that the former existence of a consent is confirmed at the same time.

Personal data within the application procedure

If you send us an application, we process your personal data for the purpose of handling the application procedure. The processing can also be done electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If an employment contract is concluded with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored in compliance with the statutory provisions for the purpose of processing the employment relationship.

If no contract of employment is concluded with the applicant, the application file shall be deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, unless deletion would be contrary to any other legitimate interests of the controller. Other legitimate interests in this sense are, for example, the retention of documents for the purpose of the duty of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

General legal basis for the processing

The following legal bases, which allow us to process personal data, may apply, unless we have explicitly mentioned them in the preceding paragraphs:

• for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose, we use Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR as the legal basis.
  
  
• If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party (e.g. as a funding partner), the legal basis for the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services.

• If our foundation is subject to a legal obligation which makes it necessary to process personal data, for example to fulfil tax obligations, the processing is governed by Art. 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR.

• In rare cases, the processing of personal data might be necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our foundation were to be injured and his or her name, age, health insurance details or other vital information would then have to be disclosed to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, the processing would be carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. d) GDPR.

• Furthermore, processing operations may be necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party, provided that your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not prevail. A legitimate interest of our company could be assumed if you as a data subject are our customer (see also recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR). Thus, the processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 I lit. f) GDPR. Such a legitimate interest is, for example, the continuation of our activities for the benefit of the welfare of all our employees.

Duration for which the personal data are stored

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective legal retention period. Two common regulations are listed below as examples:

• 6 years according to § 257 (1) HGB (trading books, inventories, opening balance sheets, annual financial statements, commercial letters, accounting vouchers, etc.)
  
  
• 10 years according to § 147 (1) AO (books, records, management reports, accounting vouchers, commercial and business letters, documents relevant for taxation, etc.)

After expiry of the deadline, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfilment of the contract or the initiation of the contract.

If there are no retention periods or other legal regulations governing the storage of your personal data, they will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the processing is fulfilled

​

Legal or contractual provisions making the personal data available; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of not providing the data

We would also like to inform you that the provision of personal data may be required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may result from contractual arrangements (e.g. information on the contractual partner).

Sometimes it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that you, as the person concerned, provide us as the responsible party with data which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, you are obliged to provide us with personal data if our foundation concludes a contract with you. Failure to provide us with personal data would mean that the contract with you could not be concluded.

Before you provide personal data, you must contact one of our employees. He or she will inform you on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences would be if you did not provide the personal data.
