2. General Notes and Mandatory Information

Data Protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
Kontaktmission e.V.
Fuchswiesenstraße 37
71543 Wüstenrot
Phone: 07945-950020
Email: info@kontaktmission.de

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Revocation of Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke any consent you have given at any time. A simple email is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.

Objection to Data Collection in Specific Cases and Direct Advertising (Art. 21 DSGVO)

If data processing is based on Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) DSGVO, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation at any time. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. We will stop processing your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or that processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (Art. 21 (1) DSGVO).
If your personal data is processed for the purposes of direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to direct advertising (Art. 21 (2) DSGVO). If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct advertising purposes.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Supervisory Authority

If there is a breach of the DSGVO, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. This applies particularly in the member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement, without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to have that data transmitted to another controller, where technically feasible and if processing is based on your consent or on the performance of a contract.

SSL and TLS Encryption

This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you submit to us. You can identify an encrypted connection when “https://” replaces “http://” in the address line and when the padlock icon appears in your browser bar.
When SSL/TLS encryption is enabled, data transmitted to us cannot be read by third parties.

Encrypted Payment Transactions on This Website

If, after entering into a paid contract, you are required to provide payment data (e.g., bank account number for direct debit), these data are necessary for payment processing. Payment transactions via common payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are conducted exclusively over an encrypted SSL/TLS connection. Such connections are easily recognized by “https://” in the browser address line and the padlock icon. Your payment data cannot be read by third parties when SSL/TLS encryption is active.

Access, Blocking, Deletion, Correction

You have the right, under applicable law, to receive information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin, and recipients, as well as the purpose of processing, and to request correction, blocking, or deletion. For data protection queries or to exercise these rights, please contact us at the address in the Imprint.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data under certain circumstances. To do so, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice. This may apply, for example, if:

• you dispute the accuracy of your personal data, and we need time to verify it. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.;
• the processing is unlawful and you oppose deletion and request restriction instead;
• we no longer need the data but you need it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims; you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
•  you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) DSGVO, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  If processing is restricted, your data may only be processed—with the exception of storage—with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, to protect another person’s rights, or for important public interest reasons.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

For example, YouTube connects to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you watch a video.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on our website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. The YouTube server receives information about which of our pages you visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, YouTube may store various cookies on your device after starting a video. Using these cookies, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to our website. This information is used, among other things, to compile video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud. The cookies remain on your device until you delete them.
