We are pleased that you are visiting the Franziskustreff-Stiftung website and thank you for your interest in our foundation. The protection of your personal data when it is collected, processed and used during your visit to our website and when you use our services is important to us. Your data is protected in accordance with the statutory provisions. Below you will find information on what data is collected during your visit to the website and when you use our services, on what legal basis and how it is processed. We also inform you about your rights in connection with the processing of your personal data.

1. subject matter of data protection
The subject matter of data protection is personal data. According to Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR, this is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as name, postal address, e-mail address or telephone number, but may also include usage data such as your IP address.

2. lawfulness of the processing of personal data
We only process personal data in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations. This means that the data will only be processed if legal authorisation or consent has been obtained. For data processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific purpose, Art. 6 I letter a) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract, such as membership or purchase, the processing is based on Art. 6 I 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 enquiries about membership or products. In the case of a legal obligation to process data, in particular storage for the fulfilment of tax obligations, Art. 6 letter c) GDPR is the legal basis. Finally, processing operations may be based on Art. 6 I letter f) GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the performance of our association activities. We take organisational, contractual and technical security measures in accordance with the state of the art to ensure that the provisions of data protection laws are complied with and to protect the data managed by us against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons.

3. data processing
The Franziskustreff-Stiftung processes the data that you provide when you visit our website and use our services (e.g. name, address, telephone number, e.g. when participating in surveys, ordering publications, registering for an event or subscribing to the newsletter). Data processing includes, in particular, the collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, use, disclosure by transmission and erasure of personal data by automated means. When you visit our website, the device you use to access the page automatically transmits log data (connection data) to our servers. Log data includes, for example, the IP address of the device you use to access the website. We only store IP addresses if this is necessary for documentation purposes and to prevent misuse. The IP addresses are deleted within a reasonable period of time.

4. use and disclosure of personal data
If you commission us to provide a service or send you publications, your personal data will only be used without separate consent to the extent necessary for the provision of the service or fulfilment of the contract. This includes in particular the forwarding of your data to transport companies, credit companies or other service providers used to provide the service or fulfil the contract. Once the contract has been fully processed, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after expiry of the tax and commercial law regulations, unless you have expressly consented to any further use of your data.

The Franziskustreff-Stiftung only discloses data to authorities and third parties in accordance with the statutory provisions or a court order. Information may be provided to authorities on the basis of a statutory provision for the purpose of averting danger or for criminal prosecution. Third parties only receive information if this is required by law. Stored personal data will be deleted if you withdraw your consent to its storage, if knowledge of it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was stored or if its storage is inadmissible for other legal reasons.

a) Newsletter
If you wish to subscribe to our newsletter, we require your e-mail address and confirmation that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. This data is only collected for the purpose of sending you the newsletter and documenting our authorisation to do so. The data will not be passed on to third parties. You can revoke your subscription to the newsletter and your consent to the storage of your e-mail address at any time.

b) Events organised by the Franziskustreff Foundation
Photos and videos are taken at Franziskustreff Foundation events for documentation purposes. The Franziskustreff-Stiftung uses these as part of its reporting, for its general press and public relations work, in particular in social media, on the Franziskustreff-Stiftung website and in other media. The material may also be passed on to other media as press releases for the Franziskustreff Foundation's public relations work. You have the right to object to the production of photos and videos concerning you and to their use. The data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.
