Right to object
In regard to your right to object, please note the following: If we process your personal data for the purpose of direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the data processing at any time without giving reasons.

At the time of placing the link, the linked websites were checked for potential violations and recognizable infringements of the law. No unlawful contents were not recognized at the time. Without specific indications of wrongdoing, continued monitoring of such websites cannot be reasonably expected.

Data privacy
In general, we use your personal data to answer your queries, process your order, or provide you with access to further information or offers. This may require the storing and processing of your personal data (first name, last name, address, payment details, due levels, etc.). In doing so, we adhere to the principle of data economy; i.e. we only collect, store, process and use data that are relevant to the stated purpose. Please not that not all information requested is mandatory. We only create user profiles if we have received a completed and signed membership form. This consent may be revoked at any time with future effect by emailing datenschutz@mixforkids.de. Furthermore, we collect data about the number of visits to our websites. This data gives us information about the general interests and preferences of our website visitors; it is statistical, not personal in nature. We also automatically collect and store information provided by your browser, including the IP address. All personal data is handled in accordance with legal requirements. We use your data to meet contractual and legal obligations, process payment transactions and pass on information.

What data do we collect?

• Access data resulting from page views
• Contact data you enter, e.g. in forms (email, membership form)
• Bank and payment information you provide when you donate or become a sponsor
• Photos (e.g. of promotions) which we have received from you or which we have taken with your permission

Donations
If you would like to make a donation, whether in the form of a one-time donation or a regular contribution, you can do so via our membership form or via the specified bank account. We process your data entered in the membership form. In any case, your data will be stored and retained for ten years together with information on the donation amount, frequency, purpose and project. As a non-profit organization, we use your address information in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR in order to send you information about our non-profit and charitable work for the purposes of soliciting donations. We assure you that your data will exclusively be processed for these purposes and only by the Mix for Kids association. We do not sell or let addresses of donors or supporters to other companies or other (including like-minded) organisations. You can object to this use at any time by sending an email to datenschutz@mixforkids.de.

Data disclosure to third parties
We will only transfer your data to third parties within the limits of statutory provisions or if you have given us consent to do so. In all other cases, no data will be transferred to third parties, provided that we are not obligated to disclose data based on mandatory legal provisions (transfer to third parties, such as regulatory authorities or law enforcement).

Security & cookies
Mix for Kids e.V. protects your personal data through suitable technical and organizational means to prevent any loss, falsification, manipulation, access by unauthorized third parties and disclosure. We continuously improve our security measures based on the technological developments on the internet. We do not use any cookies on our website.

Exchange of data
The data exchange from and to our website is always encrypted. We use HTTPS as the transmission protocol for our website, in each case with the latest encryption protocols. It is also possible to use alternative communication channels (e.g. post).

Contact form [Art. 6 (1) (f), (b) GDPR]
In the context of a contact inquiry we collect and process the following data: Name of contact, email address, contact details and other interests and queries. If you contact us by email, we will process the personal data provided in the email solely for the purpose of processing your query. No further data is collected, unless you become a member by filling in the membership form.

Recipients of data / categories of recipients
Within our association, we ensure that only those individuals receive your data who need it to meet their contractual and legal obligations. In many cases, service providers support our specialist departments in fulfilling their tasks. The necessary data protection agreements have been concluded with all service providers.

• Data processing at the association: donation accounting, administration of fines, donor and permanent support service, address and mailing list administration
• Credit agencies: obtaining information
• Lawyers: legal services
• Waste disposal companies: disposal of files and data carriers as order processing

Transfer to third countries / intent of transfer to third countries
No data is transferred to third countries (outside of the European Union and/or the European Economic Area).

Data storage periods
We store your personal data only for the time period required to fulfill the relevant purpose. Please note that various retention periods require us to continue to store data beyond this period. This applies in particular to retention periods in accordance with commercial or fiscal law (e.g. commercial code, tax code, etc.). Provided that no further retention periods apply, we routinely delete your data after the stated purpose has been fulfilled. We may continue to store data if we have obtained your consent to do so or if there is a chance of a legal dispute, for which we may use evidence within the statutory limitation periods (depending on the specific situation, up to thirty years); the regular limitation period is three years.

Obligation to provide information
A variety of personal data is required for the establishment, execution and termination of a contractual relationship and the performance of associated contractual and legal obligations. The same applies to the use of our websites and the features provided therein. We have summarized details about this issue above. In certain cases, data must be collected and/or provided due to applicable statutory provisions. Please note that we are unable to process your request or execute the underlying contractual relationship if relevant data is not provided.
