The data described below is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security and must therefore be processed by us. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO:

Cookies
Our website collects “functional cookies”, which fall under the so-called “session cookies”. Functional cookies are mandatory to ensure essential functions of the website, such as language settings. These cookies collect anonymised information. Therefore, no reference to your person can be made and your activities on other websites cannot be tracked. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit.

The following technically necessary cookies are collected from this:

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions desired by you (e.g. shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies to analyse your surfing behaviour) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this data protection declaration below.

The basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO, which allows the processing if there is a legitimate interest.

YouTube
On our website, there are embedded video links to the YouTube page operated by Google. We do not collect any personal data via these links, but we cannot exclude whether and to what extent Youtube processes personal data after clicking on these links. Therefore, active consent must be given before watching the videos and we refer you directly to the data protection provisions of YouTube, where you will find further information on the purpose and scope of the data collection and its processing by YouTube. There you will also find further information on your rights and setting options to protect your privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de

Google Web Fonts
Our website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. This use is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of the website and thus represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f) DSGVO. The fonts we use are stored locally on our server and are retrieved from it when our website is called up.

With consent and when calling up external links, such as the videos we make available on our website, users are directed to external sites, such as YouTube. There, the data protection provisions of the respective providers apply accordingly, to which we refer before consenting to the forwarding.

Paypal
On our website, you have the possibility to support us by making a donation. To do so, you can access the respective Paypal page via a link. In the context of your donation, we only process data that you yourself provide via the form. The data is processed for the purpose of handling your donation and, if necessary, sending you a donation receipt.

The legal basis for the processing is in each case Art. 6 para. 1 letter b) DSGVO. All data fields marked as mandatory are required to process your donation. Failure to provide this information will result in us not being able to process your donation.

We are supported by service providers in the provision of the donation form and the processing of payments. Donations to Purpose Stiftung gGmbH are processed via the payment platform PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., with registered office at 22-24 Boulevard Royal L-2449, Luxembourg.

Matomo
On this website, we use the web analysis service Matomo to analyse and check the use of our website. The statistics obtained enable us to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.

We operate Matomo in a version that does not require cookies. Thus, no Matomo cookies are stored on your computer for the purpose of web analysis. For the analysis of website usage, your IP address and information such as timestamp, web pages visited and your language settings are collected. We store the information collected in this way on our server.

This website uses Matomo with the extension “AnonymizeIP”. This means that IP addresses are processed in a shortened form and a direct link to a person is excluded. The IP address transmitted by your browser via Matomo is not merged with other data collected by us. The legal basis for the use of Matomo is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

Preventing the use of Matomo is possible by removing the following tick and thus activating the opt-out plug-in: [Matomo iFrame]. In this case, an opt-out cookie is stored in your browser, which prevents Matomo from storing usage data. If you delete your cookies, the Matomo opt-out cookie will also be deleted. The opt-out must be reactivated when you visit our site again.

The Matomo programme is an open source project. Information from the third-party provider on data protection is available at https://matomo.org/privacy-policy.

4. Contact us by e-mail or via a contact form

When you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, the data you provide (your e-mail address, name, and telephone number, if applicable) will be stored by us in order to answer your questions. We delete the data accruing in this context, if the inquiry is assigned to a contract, after the time limits for the term of the contract, otherwise after the storage is no longer required, or restrict the processing if there are statutory retention obligations.

5. Newsletter

Our cost-free newsletter keeps you regularly updated by email on the latest developments, events and projects. On our website and for sending out newsletters, we use the MailerLite service provided by the US-based company MailerLite Inc., 548 Market St, PMB 98174, San Francisco, CA 94194-5401, USA.

MailerLite also processes personal data in the USA. In the opinion of the Court of Justice of the European Union, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfers to the USA, which entails various risks to the lawfulness and security of the relevant data processing.MailerLite uses standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission for the transfer of personal data to the US. These clauses oblige MailerLite to maintain the same level of data protection as in the European Union when processing personal data outside the European Union. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the European Commission.

Further information on these standard contractual clauses can be found at:https://www.mailerlite.com/legal/data-processing-agreementFurther information on MailerLite’s processing of personal data can be found in the privacy policy at: https://www.mailerlite.com/legal/privacy-policy

We use the double opt-in procedure for registering for our newsletter. This means that after you register, we will send an email to the email address you provided, asking you to confirm that you are the owner of the email address and that you wish to receive the newsletter.If you do not confirm your registration within 30 days, your information will be automatically deleted after the 30 days have expired. In addition, we store your IP addresses and the times of registration and confirmation. This serves the purpose of verifying your registration and, if necessary, investigating any possible misuse of your personal data.

The only mandatory information required for sending the newsletter is your email address. The provision of additional, separately marked data is voluntary and is used to address you personally. The data you enter for this purpose will only be used to personalise the newsletter and will not be passed on to third parties.

After your confirmation, we will store your email address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking on the link provided in each newsletter email or revoke your consent at any time by sending an email or by sending a message to the contact details provided in the imprint.
