Provision of our services in accordance with our business

We process the data of our customers, applicants, interested parties or other persons in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. DSGVO, insofar as we offer them contractual services or act within the scope of existing business relationships, e.g. towards customers, or are ourselves recipients of services and benefits. Furthermore, we process the data of data subjects pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO on the basis of our legitimate interests, e.g. when it concerns administrative tasks or public relations.

The data processed in this context, the type, scope and purpose and the necessity of their processing are determined by the underlying contractual relationship. In principle, this includes inventory and master data of the persons (e.g. name, address, etc.), as well as contact data (e.g. e-mail address, telephone, etc.), contract data (e.g. services used, contents and information provided, names of contact persons) and, if we offer services or products subject to payment, payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history, etc.).

We delete data that is no longer required to fulfil our business purposes. This is determined according to the respective tasks and contractual relationships. In the case of business processing, we retain the data for as long as it may be relevant for the processing of the business and with regard to any warranty or liability obligations. The necessity of retaining the data is reviewed every three years; otherwise, the statutory retention obligations apply.

Regular review

We ask you to regularly inform yourself about the content of our data protection declaration. We adapt the data protection declaration as soon as the changes in the data processing carried out by us make this necessary. We will inform you as soon as the changes require an act of cooperation on your part (e.g. consent) or other individual notification.

Cooperation with processors and third parties

If, in the course of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (order processors or third parties), transmit it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this will only be done on the basis of a legal permission (e.g. if a transmission of the data to third parties, such as to payment service providers, is necessary for the performance of the contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO), you have consented, a legal obligation provides for this or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.).

If we commission third parties with the processing of data on the basis of a so-called “order processing agreement”, this is done on the basis of Art. 28 DSGVO.

Transfer to third countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this occurs in the context of the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transfer of data to third parties, this only occurs if it is done to fulfil our (pre-)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, due to a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we only process or allow the processing of data in a third country if the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. DSGVO are met. This means that the processing is carried out, for example, on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised determination of a level of data protection corresponding to that of the EU (e.g. for the USA through the “Privacy Shield”) or compliance with officially recognised special contractual obligations (so-called “standard contractual clauses”).

Cookies

In order to make our website user-friendly for you and to optimally adapt it to your needs, we use cookies in some areas. A cookie is a small file that is stored locally on your computer as soon as you visit a website. If you visit the website again with the same terminal device, the cookie indicates, for example, that it is a repeat visit. Cookies also enable us to analyse the use of our website. The cookie does not contain any personal information, it is not suitable to identify you on third party websites, including the websites of analytics providers.

You can declare your consent or rejection of cookies via the settings of your web browser. You can configure your browser in such a way that the acceptance of cookies is refused in principle or you are informed in advance when a cookie is stored. In this case, however, the functionality of the website may be impaired. Your browser also offers a function to delete cookies (e.g. via Delete browser data). You can find more information on this in the operating instructions or usually under settings of your internet browser.

Use of web fonts

In order to display our content correctly and in a graphically appealing way across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries such as Google Webfonts(https://www.google.com/webfonts/) and Font Awesome(https://fontawesome.com/) on this website. Google Webfonts are transferred to your browser’s cache to avoid multiple loading. If the browser does not support Google Web Fonts or prevents access, content is displayed in a standard font.

Calling up script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the library. It is theoretically possible – although it is currently unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes – that the operators of such libraries collect data. Google Web Fonts are used in the interest of an individual, uniform and appealing presentation of our online offer. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer. Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Integration of social network plug-ins

Our website may and partly uses buttons for the social networks

  • facebook, Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA
  • Google+, Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA
  • Twitter, Twitter Inc, 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA
  • Xing, XING AG, Gänsemarkt 43, 20354 Hamburg, Germany
  • YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno CA 94066, USA

The buttons are marked with the logo of the respective social network. However, they are not the usual social plug-ins, but buttons with embedded links. The buttons must be activated (clicked) separately by you. As long as these buttons are not clicked, no data is transmitted to the social networks. Only when you click on the buttons and thereby declare your consent to communication with the servers of the social network, the buttons become active and the connection is established.

After clicking, the button corresponds to a so-called share plugin. Information about the visited page is made available to the social network, which you can share with your contacts in your social network. If you want to “share” the information, you must be logged in. If you are not logged in, you will land on the login page of the clicked social network and you will no longer be on the pages of Jägerschaft Gifhorn e.V. If you are logged in, the information that you would like to recommend the respective article will be transmitted.

By activating the button, the social network then also receives, among other things, the information that and when you have accessed the corresponding page of our website, as well as, for example, your IP address, details of the browser used and the language settings. When you click on the button, your click is transmitted to the social network and used according to its data usage guidelines.

When activating the button, we have no influence on the collected data and data processing operations and are not responsible for this data processing and in this respect are not the responsible party in the sense of the GDPR. We are also not aware of the full scope of the data collection, its legal basis, the purposes and the storage periods. Therefore, the information provided here is not necessarily complete.

The transmission of data takes place regardless of whether you actually have an account with the provider or are logged in there. If you are logged in to the provider, your data is directly assigned to your account. If applicable, the providers also use cookies on your computer to track you.

To our knowledge, the provider stores this data in usage profiles, which it uses for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) for the display of needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles. To exercise this right of objection, please contact the respective provider.

For the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the respective social network, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the information:

If you do not want the social network to receive data about you, you must not click the button.
