III General information on data processing
1. scope of the processing of personal data
We only process personal data of our users to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content, services, offers and/or to fulfil the legal mandate. The processing of our users' personal data only takes place regularly with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
2 Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data that is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our foundation is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis. Insofar as the processing of data is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e GDPR i.V.m. § 2 GedenkStG serves as the legal basis for the processing. If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our foundation or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
Newsletter
We use the newsletter to inform you about us and our offers.
If you would like to receive the newsletter, we require a valid email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided or that the owner agrees to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected. This data is only used for sending the newsletter and is not passed on to third parties.
When you register for the newsletter, we save your IP address and the date of registration. You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the email address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time. The cancellation can be made via a link in the newsletters themselves, in your profile area or by sending a message to info@stiftung-ng.de.
Shop
We process the data of our customers as part of the ordering process in our online shop in order to enable them to order the selected products, as well as their payment and delivery or fulfilment.
The processing is carried out for the purpose of providing contractual services as part of the operation of our online shop, billing, delivery and customer services. We use session cookies to store the contents of the shopping basket.
The data is deleted after the expiry of statutory warranty and comparable obligations.
Data protection provisions about PayPal as a payment method
PayPal components are integrated into our websites as part of our online shop. PayPal is an online payment service provider that makes it possible to initiate online payments to third parties or to receive payments.
The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
If the data subject selects "PayPal" as the payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, the data of the data subject is automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing.
The personal data transmitted to PayPal is usually first name, surname, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number or other data required for payment processing. Personal data that is necessary for processing the purchase contract is also data that is related to the respective order.
The purpose of transmitting the data is payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transmit personal data to PayPal in particular if there is a legitimate interest in the transmission. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller may be transmitted by PayPal to credit reference agencies. The purpose of this transmission is to check identity and creditworthiness.
PayPal may pass on the personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors if this is necessary to fulfil contractual obligations or if the data is to be processed on behalf of PayPal.
The data subject has the option to withdraw consent to the handling of personal data from PayPal at any time. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.
The applicable data protection provisions of PayPal may be retrieved under www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.
Booking forms
The information you send us when completing booking forms is used exclusively for booking purposes. You can have your data deleted at any time; we do not pass this data on to third parties and only use the data collected for internal purposes.
Integration of third-party services and content
It may happen that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube, Vimeo, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are integrated into this online offering. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") recognise the IP address of the user, as this is necessary for the display of some of this content. We endeavour to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. However, we have no influence over whether the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes.
Online presence in social media
We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to communicate with the users active there and to inform them about our services. We do not use plug-ins on our website, but link to the networks and platforms we use. By clicking on the respective link, the user enters the respective platform and is no longer on our website. When accessing the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and data processing guidelines of their respective operators apply accordingly.
Unless otherwise stated in our privacy policy, we process users' data if they communicate with us within the social networks and platforms, e.g. write posts on our online presences or send us messages. Further information on use can be found in the privacy policies of the respective networks and platforms.
3 Data erasure and storage duration
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
IV Provision of the website and creation of log files
1. description and scope of data processing
Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.
The following data is collected:
(1) Information about the browser type and version used
(2) The user's operating system
(3) The IP address of the user
(4) Date and time of access
(5) Websites from which the user's system accesses our website
(6) Websites that are accessed by the user's system via our website
The data is stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
2 Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e, f GDPR.
3 Purpose of the data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
The data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. We also use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data is not analysed for marketing purposes in this context.
These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e, f GDPR.
4 Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after thirty days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or anonymised so that it is no longer possible to identify the accessing client.
5 Possibility of objection and removal
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.
V. Use of cookies
a) Description and scope of data processing
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user's computer system. When a user accesses a website, a cookie may be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again.
Some elements of our website require that the accessing browser can be identified even after a page change.
The following data is stored and transmitted in the cookies:
(1) Log-in information
The user data collected in this way is pseudonymised by technical precautions. It is therefore no longer possible to assign the data to the accessing user. The data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
b) Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e, f GDPR. Non-technically necessary cookies are used exclusively on the basis of the user's consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, which can be revoked at any time.
c) Duration of storage, objection and removal options
Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted from there to our website. Users therefore have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your own Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website to their full extent.
VI Web analysis through Matomo
1. scope of the processing of personal data
We use the open source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK) on our website to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users. The software places a cookie on the user's computer (for cookies, see above). If individual pages of our website are accessed, the following data is stored:
(1) Two bytes of the IP address of the user's accessing system
(2) The website accessed
(3) The website from which the user accessed the website (referrer)
(4) The subpages that are accessed from the accessed website
(5) The frequency with which the website is accessed
The software runs exclusively on the servers of our website. The user's personal data is only stored there. The data is not passed on to third parties.
The software is set so that the IP addresses are not stored in full, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g.: 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the calling computer.
2 Legal basis for the processing of personal data
The legal basis for the processing of users' personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
3 Purpose of the data processing
The processing of users' personal data enables us to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users. By analysing the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to constantly improve our website and its user-friendliness. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in processing the data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. By anonymising the IP address, the interest of users in the protection of their personal data is sufficiently taken into account.
4. duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes.
In our case, this is the case after one year.
5. possibility of objection and removal
Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted from there to our website. Users therefore also have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in their own Internet browser, users can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website to their full extent.
We offer our users the option of opting out of the analysis process on our website. To do this, you must follow the corresponding link. In this way, another cookie is set on your own system, which signals to our system not to save the user's data. If the user deletes the corresponding cookie from their own system in the meantime, they must set the opt-out cookie again.
You can find more information on the privacy settings of the Matomo software at the following link: https: //matomo.org/docs/privacy/.
VII Use of external services (third parties)
1. youtube (embedding via iFrame)
We use YouTube, a Google service, to show you video content. To protect your privacy, we have activated the extended data protection mode.
By pressing the start button on the video, you consent to the transmission of data to Google. Other Google services are also used (e.g. Google Fonts).
Recipient of the data: Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland
2. vimeo (embedding via iFrame)
We use Vimeo, a service of Vimeo Inc. to show you video content. To protect your privacy, we have integrated the service using iFrame.
If you have a Vimeo user account and do not want Vimeo to collect data about you via this website and link it to your membership data stored with Vimeo, you must log out of Vimeo before visiting this website.
By pressing the start button on the video, you consent to the transmission of the data to Vimeo LLC, as well as to the transmission of the data to a third country without an adequate level of data protection.
Recipient of the data: Vimeo, Inc, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA
The legal basis for the transfer is the EU standard contractual clauses pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR.

We design our website with Google Fonts. The service provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; parent company: Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA
We integrate Google Fonts locally on our own server, which prevents the transmission of user data to Google in the USA. The integration takes place on the basis of your consent, which we obtain when you access the website with the displayed Consent Manager (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time. If consent is not given or is withdrawn, the website will be displayed with a local standard font.

5. right to information
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
You have the right to be informed of these recipients by the controller.
6. right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law
You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
7. right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
