The website operator takes your privacy very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal requirements.

2. Access data

We, the website operator or page provider, collect data about access to the website on the basis of our legitimate interest (see Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) and store this data as “server log files” on the website server. The following data is logged:

The server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, e.g. to investigate cases of misuse. If data must be retained for evidentiary reasons, it is excluded from deletion until the incident has been finally clarified.

3. Reach measurement & cookies

This website uses cookies for pseudonymized reach measurement, which are transmitted to the user's browser either from our server or from a third-party server. Cookies are small files that are stored on your device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of this website.

If you wish to refuse the integration of YouTube, you can delete cookies in your browser, not actively play YouTube content, or revoke your consent to data transfer via browser settings or cookie consent.

4. Handling of contact data

If you contact us as the website operator using the contact options provided, your details such as:

• Name

5. Collection and processing of personal data

The website operator collects, uses, and discloses your personal data only if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the collection of data.
Personal data is any information that can be used to identify you and that can be traced back to you—for example, your name, email address, and telephone number.

You can also visit this website without providing any personal information. However, in order to improve our online offering, we store your access data to this website (without personal reference). This access data includes, for example, the file you requested or the name of your Internet provider. The anonymization of the data means that it is not possible to draw any conclusions about your person.

We process personal data such as first name, last name, IP address, email address, place of residence, postal code, and content details from the contact form. We only process personal data with the express permission of the users concerned and in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations. The processing of personal data is based on our legitimate interest in fulfilling our contractually agreed services and optimizing our online offering.

6. Newsletter subscription

The website operator offers you a newsletter in which it informs you about current events and projects at PROBONO. If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter, you must provide a valid email address. By subscribing to the newsletter, you agree to receive the newsletter and the procedures described.

Purpose of data processing: Sending the newsletter about current projects, events, or campaigns of the NGO.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent).

Revocation and termination: You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time and thus cancel your newsletter subscription. After your cancellation, your personal data will be deleted. Your consent to receive the newsletter will expire at the same time.

7. Online donations

If you would like to support the work of PROBONO Schulpartnerschaften für Eine Welt e.V. with a donation, you can do so using our online donation form. The online donation form on the website processes the personal data required to conclude and fulfill the donation agreement, such as title, first and last name, email address, and postal address. The data is stored in accordance with legal obligations.

We use various payment service providers to process payments, which are always identified and receive your entries. These are therefore recipients of your personal data collected in connection with the payment process. You decide which payment service provider to use.

We would like to point out that, in the case of providers outside the EU and the EEA, it cannot be ruled out that your personal data may be transferred to a third country that does not have a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU and the EEA.

Depending on which payment method you choose, your data will be forwarded to the relevant financial service provider:

• SEPA direct debit payments to our house bank (Frankfurter Sparkasse)
• Payments via PayPal to PayPal, PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg
• Payments by credit card to Stripe, Inc., 3180 18th Street, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA
• Payments via Apple Pay to Apple Payments Inc., One Apple Park Way Cupertino, CA 95014, USA
• Payment via Google Pay to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland

For the donation form, we use Fundraisingbox, a tool from Wikando GmbH, Schießgrabenstraße 32, 86150 Augsburg. When you donate via the donation form, various data is collected from you, which we process exclusively for the purpose of processing your payment/donation and issuing a donation receipt. Depending on the selected payment method, your data will be forwarded by Fundraisingbox to the relevant payment service provider. Further information on data protection at Fundraisingbox can be found here: https://www.fundraisingbox.com/datenschutz/.

The legal basis for the data processing described in connection with online donations and for the transfer of data to payment service providers is the necessity of data processing for the conclusion and fulfillment of a contract in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
