2. General notes and mandatory information
Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We
treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection
regulations and this data protection declaration.
When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data with
which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and
what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating
by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties
is not possible.
Note on the responsible office
The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

Arise Gateway Friends -deutscher
Unterstützerverein e.V.
Hechtgässle 6
79353 Bahlingen
Phone: 015201783510
E-mail: info@arise-gateway.org

The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the
purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses or
similar).
Storage period
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this data protection
declaration, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing
no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data
processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for
storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or trade law); in the
latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.
Note on data transfer to the USA
Among other things, tools from companies based in the USA are integrated on our website.
If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the
respective companies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country in
the sense of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to
security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against
this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process,
evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We
have no influence on these processing activities.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke
consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out
until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 DSGVO).
IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F DSGVO, YOU
HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME
FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO
PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH
PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO
LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE
COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR
INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF
ASSERTING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21(1)
DSGVO).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU
HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO
PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS CONNECTED WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT,
YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF
DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21 (2) OF THE GERMAN DATA
PROTECTION ACT).
Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects shall have the right to lodge a complaint
with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence,
their place of work or the place of the alleged violation. The right of appeal is without
prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or
in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machinereadable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will
only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Information, deletion and correction
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free
information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data
processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as
well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this
purpose, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the
following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify
this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the
processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, you can request
the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal
claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data
instead of erasure.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO, a balancing of your and our
interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests
prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage
– may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal
claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of
an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

WordPress Statistics

This website uses “WordPress Statistics” to statistically analyze visitor traffic. The provider is
Automattic Inc, 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110-4929, USA.
WordPress Statistics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose
of analyzing user behavior (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). WordPress Statistics collects
for analysis purposes, among other things, log files (referrer, IP address, browser, etc.), the
origin of website visitors (country, city) and what actions they have taken on the site (e.g.
clicks, views, downloads). The information thus collected about the use of this website is
stored on servers in the USA.
Your IP address is anonymized after processing and before storage.
The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has
a legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both its
web offering and its advertising. If a corresponding consent was requested (e.g. consent to
store cookies), the processing is based exclusively on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO; the consent
can be revoked at any time.

6. newsletter
Newsletter data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail
address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the
e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not
collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested
information and do not pass it on to third parties.
The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is based exclusively on
your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the
data, the e-mail address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via
the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations
already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you provide us with for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us
or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be
deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or
after the purpose has ceased to exist. We reserve the right to delete or block e-mail addresses

merged with other data.
This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when
sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO). The
storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests
outweigh our legitimate interest.
