In other legal transactions, the European Basic Regulation on Data Protection also applies with regard to data protection, as it does for other legal entities.

If we store your data on the basis of an existing permission, this will only happen as long as the data is actually still needed for the stated purpose.

Data collection on this website

 

Input of personal data

In order to use our website, it is not necessary for you to provide us with personal data unless you wish to make use of certain offers from us. Only in this case is it necessary for you to provide certain data.

 

Collection of personal data

contact form

Schoenstatt International offers the possibility of entering personal or business data (e-mail addresses, names, addresses) when writing to you, for ordering purposes, for feedback and for entry in the guest book. The use of the offered services on the part of the user takes place expressly on voluntary basis.

Personal data will only be collected, used and, if necessary, passed on by us if this is permitted by law. Under no circumstances will the data be transferred to areas outside the EU. A legal permission for a corresponding processing is based on article 6 of the EU data protection basic regulation, because

– the data subject has given his/her consent to the processing of his/her personal data for one or more specific purposes;

– processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject;

– the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller has been transferred to the person responsible.

 

Comment function on this website

For the comment function on this page, in addition to your comment, information about the time the comment was created and, if you do not post anonymously, the username you have chosen will be stored.

 

Storage of the IP address

Our comment feature stores the IP addresses of users who post comments. As we do not check comments on this website before activating them, we need this data in order to be able to take action against the author in the event of infringements such as insults or propaganda.

 

Storage period of comments

The comments and the related data (e.g. IP address) are stored and remain on this website until the commented content has been completely deleted or the comments have to be deleted for legal reasons (e.g. offensive comments).

 

Legal basis

The comments are stored on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke your consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal e-mail notification to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

 

Electronic mail (e-mail)

Information that you send to us unencrypted by electronic mail (e-mail) may be read by third parties during transmission. As a rule, we also cannot verify your identity and do not know who the real owner of an e-mail address is. A legally secure communication by simple e-mail is therefore not guaranteed. Like many e-mail providers, we use filters against unwanted advertising (“SPAM filters”), which in some cases automatically classify and delete even normal e-mails as unwanted advertising. E-mails that contain harmful programs (“viruses”) are automatically deleted by us in every case. If you wish to send us messages worthy of protection, we recommend that you send the message to us by conventional mail.
