Privacy Policy Episcopal relief organisation Misereor e. V.

Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in the work of Misereor. When you visit our website, we process your data. As the protection of your personal data is important to us, we would like to inform you below about how we ensure the protection of your data.
Like all church organisations, Misereor is subject to the Church Data Protection Act (KDG). The data protection requirements of the European General Data Protection Regulation are complied with. In detail:

Collection and processing of personal data

The collection of personal data on this website is based on your voluntarily given consent (§ 6 para. 1 lit. b KDG).
We use the services of Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Str. 7, 80331 Munich to ask for and store your consent.

If you wish to use services on our website - such as ordering materials, registering for newsletters or requesting information - we will use the data you provide to us exclusively to fulfil your request and delete this data after the statutory retention periods have expired.

Protection of your personal data when making an online donation

When you donate online, your data is transmitted to us in encrypted form using state-of-the-art technology. We use the FundraisingBox donation forms from Wikando GmbH, Schießgrabenstr. 32, 86150 Augsburg. Wikando GmbH also processes all donations via SEPA direct debit. We work with micropayment GmbH, Scharnweberstr. 69, 12587 Berlin, Germany, to process donations by credit card. These service providers are contractually obliged by Misereor to comply with data protection regulations and may only use personal data for the authorised purpose of properly processing your donation.

In order for your donation to be processed, we need your name and address as well as some mandatory information for bank or credit card collection. Once you have entered your data in the donation form and sent it off, you will receive an e-mail notifying you that your donation has been collected.

Protection of your personal data when applying online

We look forward to receiving your application via our applicant portal. Your data will be processed in accordance with Section 6(1)(b) KDG on the basis of your consent, which you declare by clicking on the "Agree to data protection provisions" field in the applicant portal.

If an employment relationship is established on the basis of your application, your data will be stored for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship and deleted after the statutory retention periods have expired. In all other cases, your data will be deleted a maximum of six months after the end of the recruitment process, unless otherwise agreed personally.
In the case of an unsolicited application, your data will be stored in our applicant pool for a maximum of two years in order to be able to consider it in possible future application procedures and then deleted.

In accordance with §§ 17-22 KDG, you are entitled at any time to request information about your personal data or its correction, deletion, restriction of processing and transfer and to object to the further processing of your data. As the data is required to carry out recruitment procedures, it will no longer be possible to consider your application once you have objected.
At the end of this privacy policy, you will find information on the controller, the company data protection officer and your right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Cookies

We use cookies from some services to analyse the use of our digital offers and to constantly improve them for you as well as to evaluate digital advertisements. We ask for your consent to use cookies on our website. You can change or revoke your consent at a later date.

You can prevent the installation of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. This may mean that you will not be able to make full use of all offers.

Once cookies have been set, you can delete them yourself at any time by calling up the corresponding menu item in your Internet browser or deleting the cookies on your hard drive. Details on this can be found in the help menu of your Internet browser.

Passing on the data

Your data will not be passed on to third parties for commercial or non-commercial purposes without your express consent. We only pass on your personal data to third parties if this is legally permissible [e.g. on the basis of Section 6 KDG] and/or necessary.
In some cases, we use service providers for the processing of data as required by law. The full responsibility for data processing remains with us.

Furthermore, we sometimes use plugins from other providers on our website:

Google Tag Manager
This is a tag management system for the implementation of tracking and analysis tools from Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The Tag Manager does not collect any personal data, but triggers tags that may collect and process personal data. We therefore integrate Google Analytics and Google Remarketing on our website.

Web analytics with Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc ("Google").
We ask for your consent to use cookies on our website. You can change or revoke your consent at any time.
Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", which enable your use of the website to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your shortened IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of analysing your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
You can object to the use of your data by Google Analytics by installing an add-on in your browser. To do this, you can follow the link below, which will take you to the Google page: Google Analytics deactivation add-on for browsers

Google Remarketing
This website uses the "Google Remarketing" web service of Google LLC to display adverts that we place in the Google advertising network as part of the "Google Ads" online marketing process only to users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics, e.g. interests in certain topics or products.
(Re-)marketing tags are used on the website that create a file (cookie) on the user's end device containing information about websites that the user has visited, content that the user is interested in, offers that have already been clicked on, the browser and operating system used, referring websites, visiting time and the use of online offers. This data is processed pseudonymously within the Google advertising network, i.e. without personal data such as name or e-mail address.

We ask for your consent to use cookies on our website. You can change or withdraw your consent at a later date.

If you do not wish to use Google Remarketing, you can deactivate the function here or at www.google.com/settings/ads. You can find more information about Google's use of data at policies.google.com/technologies/ads and adssettings.google.com/authenticated

Logging / server log files
Our website is hosted on a web server of Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany, which is contractually obliged by Misereor to comply with data protection regulations. Each time our website is accessed, the web server logs

  • Date and time of the server request
  • Browser type and version
  • operating system
  • IP address in anonymised form to determine the country of origin and the provider

The data collected in this way in the server log files is processed by us on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Section 6 (1) (g) KDG for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring a smooth connection to the website,
  • Ensuring convenient use of our website,
  • analysing system security and stability and for other administrative purposes.

We reserve the right to check the server log files retrospectively if we become aware of specific indications of unlawful use. The data will be deleted after 14 days at the latest.

Facebook
Content from Facebook is added to our website via interfaces (APIs) (Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA). When you call up the respective page on our website, Facebook is informed which of our Internet pages you have visited with your IP address. If you are logged in to Facebook as a member, this will be assigned to your personal Facebook user account. When using the plug-in functions, this information is also assigned to your Facebook account, which you can prevent by logging out before using the plug-in.

YouTube
Our website uses plugins from the Google-operated YouTube site. The operator of the pages is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. Further information on the handling of user data can be found in YouTube's privacy policy

Instagram
Our posts from the service Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Rd, Menlo Park CA 94025, USA, are shown on our website. Our website uses embed codes from Instagram.

You can find more information on this in Instagram's privacy policy: instagram.com/about/legal/privacy

Tax savings calculator
On our website, we offer you the opportunity to find out about the tax deductibility of donations. For this purpose, we use the "Smart Calculator" service from Smare Stefan Banse Michael Mühl GbR, Grafschaft. Calling up the calculator causes it to be logged in the server log file of the web server. Your IP address is transmitted to the hosting provider 1&1 Internet SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur. The IP address is anonymised there after 7 days. The log data is deleted after a maximum of nine weeks. The calculations within the computer take place in your web browser and are not logged.

Yumpu
We use www.yumpu.com from the company i-magazine AG ("i-mag" - Gewerbestrasse 3, 9444 Diepoldsau, CH) on our website. Yumpu provides a digital platform for publishing magazines, brochures or catalogues. Using Yumpu, the content of PDF files is displayed as a so-called flip catalogue/flipbook and displayed directly in the web browser without loading the PDF files.
Yumpu sets strictly necessary cookies to ensure basic functions of the service. You can opt out of the use of these cookies at any time by adjusting your cookie settings accordingly. The procedure for doing so varies depending on the browser used.
Yumpu uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). It is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f. GDPR. Google Analytics uses cookies that enable your use of the Yumpu service to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Yumpu has added the code "anonymizeIP" to Google Analytics so that all data is collected anonymously.
You can object to the use of your data by Google Analytics by installing an add-on in your browser. To do this, you can follow the link below, which will take you to the Google page: Google Analytics deactivation add-on for browsers

Yumpu automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits. These are deleted after one month. This data is not merged with other data sources. The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of the website. The data will not be passed on or used in any other way.
