  • you have given your express consent,
  • the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you,
  • the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation,

the processing is necessary to safeguard legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data that you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” address line of your browser and the lock symbol in the browser line.

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us in server log files. These are

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Data transmission upon conclusion of a contract for the purchase and shipment of goods

Personal data will only be transmitted to third parties if this is necessary in the context of contract processing. Third parties may be, for example, payment service providers or logistics companies. Any further transmission of data will not take place or will only take place if you have expressly consented to this.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Storage duration of posts and comments

Contributions and comments as well as related data, such as IP addresses, are stored. The content remains on our website until it has been completely deleted or has to be deleted for legal reasons.

Posts and comments are stored on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device. Cookies help us to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure.

Some cookies are “session cookies”. Such cookies are deleted automatically at the end of your browser session. Other cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device until you delete them yourself. Such cookies help us to recognize you when you return to our website.

With a modern web browser, you can monitor, restrict or prevent the setting of cookies. Many web browsers can be configured so that cookies are deleted automatically when the program is closed. Deactivating cookies may result in limited functionality of our website.

The setting of cookies, which are necessary for the exercise of electronic communication processes or the provision of certain functions desired by you (e.g. shopping cart), takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. 1 lit. f GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and smooth provision of our services. If other cookies are set (e.g. for analysis functions), these are treated separately in this privacy policy.

Google Analytics

Our website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider of the web analysis service is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses “cookies.” These are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device and enable website usage to be analyzed.

Google Analytics cookies are set on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize our website and, if necessary, advertising.

IP anonymization

We use Google Analytics in conjunction with the IP anonymization function. It ensures that Google truncates your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmitting it to the USA. There may be exceptional cases in which Google transmits the full IP address to a server in the USA and truncates it there. Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser plugin

The setting of cookies by your web browser can be prevented. However, this may restrict some functions of our website. You can also prevent the collection of data relating to your website use, including your IP address and subsequent processing by Google. You can do this by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available via the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Objection to data collection

You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent your data from being collected on future visits to our website: Deactivate Google Analytics.

Details on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Order processing

We have concluded an order processing contract with Google in order to fully comply with the statutory data protection requirements.

Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics

Our website uses the “demographic characteristics” function of Google Analytics. It can be used to create reports that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and visitor data from third-party providers. It is not possible to assign the data to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time. This is possible via the ad settings in your Google account or by generally prohibiting the collection of your data by Google Analytics, as explained in the section “Objection to data collection”.

Use of Jetpack with wordpress.com STATS

We use the Jetpack component of Automattic Inc, 132 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, United States of America, using the technology of Quantcast Corp, 201 Third Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103, United States of America, on our website. Every time our website is accessed, data for web analysis is collected through the use of cookies and stored in the USA. Cookies are small text files that are stored locally in the cache of the visitor’s Internet browser to enable the visitor’s Internet browser to be recognized. The IP address is anonymized immediately after processing but before it is stored. You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly or delete cookies that have already been stored; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of our website to their full extent.

Facebook plugin

We use components of the provider facebook.com on our website. Facebook is a service of facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA.

Each time you access our website, which is equipped with such a component, this component causes the browser you are using to download a corresponding representation of the component from facebook. This process informs facebook which specific page of our website you are currently visiting.

If you visit our site while you are logged in to facebook, facebook recognizes which specific page you are visiting through the information collected by the component and assigns this information to your personal account on facebook. For example, if you click on the “Like” button or make comments, this information is transmitted to your personal user account on facebook and stored there. In addition, the information that you have visited our site will be passed on to facebook. This happens regardless of whether you click on the component or not.

If you want to prevent this transmission and storage of data about you and your behavior on our website by facebook, you must log out of facebook before you visit our site. The facebook data protection information provides more detailed information on this, in particular on the collection and use of data by facebook, your rights in this regard and the setting options for protecting your privacy: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking

Our website uses Google AdWords. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States.

AdWords is an online advertising program. As part of the online advertising program, we work with conversion tracking. After clicking on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device. Google AdWords cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. The cookie allows Google and us to recognize that you have clicked on an ad and have been redirected to our website.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. Conversion cookies are used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. AdWords customers find out how many users clicked on their ad and were redirected to pages with a conversion tracking tag. However, AdWords customers do not receive any information that allows users to be personally identified. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to its use. In this case, the conversion cookie must be deactivated in the user settings of the browser. This will also prevent your data from being included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of “conversion cookies” takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize our website and our advertising.

Photo credits

ICF Munich e.V. would like to inform you that our events, such as celebrations, camps, seminars, events, trainings, hangouts are mostly public events.
We have a legitimate interest according to Art 6 para. 1 lit f GDPR: Public relations and presentation of the controller’s activities to take photos, video and audio recordings there.
You have the right to object to the processing. The objection can be sent to the above contact address.
It can be assumed that the controller’s interest in the production and use of the photos does not unduly interfere with the rights and freedoms of natural persons, in particular because they have gone into the public space, the production and use of the photos has been pointed out in advance and at the event, and care is taken both in the production of photos and the publication of the same to ensure that no legitimate interests of persons depicted are violated. If the rights and freedoms of a person depicted are violated for reasons worthy of special consideration, we will take appropriate measures to refrain from further processing. It is not possible to make images unrecognizable in print media that have already been issued. Deletion on the website or in social media channels takes place within the scope of technical possibilities.

By registering and participating in our event, you agree to the following handling:
We use the photo and video recordings to document and promote our own events, for which purpose they are made publicly accessible in reports (factual reports, annual reports, website articles and in social media, print media, flyers), in presentations (lectures, workshops) and on our website (website articles and in social media).
The data will not be passed on to third parties with the exception of contractors and processors who are involved in the processing (production and publication).
The collection, storage and use follows the principle of data minimization. Your individual rights are not violated by our use. However, you can object to the use at any time, we will terminate the publication taking into account the available technology and arrange for the deletion, as far as the processing is not necessary and does not conflict with our legitimate interest formulated here.

Changes to our privacy policy

We reserve the right to adapt this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g. when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.
