2 Overview on Data Processing

2.1 Scope of Processing Personally Identifiable Data

We are committed to protecting and keeping all personal information you give us confidential within the law and telling you how we use the information we gather about you.
Visiting this website is possible without explicitly telling us any personally identifiable information. Transmission-related data generated while visiting the pages like, for example, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, see section 3.1, are deleted on a regular basis and are never disclosed to third parties, see section below. Using some services on our pages could in the future imply modification of this policy which would then be explained in the sections below. Your personally identifiable information like, for example, your name, address, email address, telephone number, IP address, etc., will only be processed by the society's office within the limits imposed by the current data protection laws and regulations and, with the exception of the weblog files that are generated by the Internet hosting provider, never be stored on the server of the Internet hosting provider. In case you are contacting us by way of email or telephone, your data will not leave our office until being deleted, see details below, and will thus never be dislosed to the web hosting provider or other third parties. Within our privacy policy, personally identifiable data denotes all data that can be used to directly name or track down an individual's identity.
We remark that, due to the nature of the Internet, data transmission is never at all times 100% secure, and that access to data by unauthorized third parties cannot always be prevented: the complete protection of data is impossible.

2.2 Legal Basis for Processing Personally Identifiable Data

The legal basis for processing personally identifiable data in case we are asking the data subjects for their consent is given by article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.
In case processing is necessary to fullfil legal obligations of the society, the legal basis is given by article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.
If data processing is necessary due to the lawful interests of our society or those of third parties, and the legitimate interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the affected data subject are not exceeding the beforementioned interests, the legal basis for processing is furnished by article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

3 Publication of Our Internet Pages (Website) / Generation of Weblog Files

3.1 Acquisition of User Data and Web Logs on our Internet Pages

Our society obtains web log files from the hosting service provider, which contain the following pieces of information transmitted by either the visitor's computer or the visitor's Internet service provider to the society's hosting service provider's server system, which is automatically storing the following info in the web log files while you are invoking one of our pages:

• browser incl. type/version
• operating system (if transmitted)
• referrer URL (previously visited site)
• Internet protocol (IP) address (hostname) of your PC
• your provider
• date and time of server query
• those of our website pages you visited

None of this information personally identifies you to us and the society does not combine these data with information from other sources. Creation and storage of the web log files is a mandatory step needed by our hosting service provider to make available our web pages on the Internet. There is therefore no way data subjects can object.

3.2 Cookies

The society is not generating any cookies on our website that would necessitate the website visitor's consent. While using SSL encrypted page access (https://..) our web hosting provider transfers auxiliary files, called session cookies, that are technically necessary for the secure https: access before being automatically deleted upon either leaving the page or closing your browser (details may depend on the individual browser used). Session cookies do not contain any data we could evaluate and are not being sent from or to our society but are being exclusively exchanged for technical reasons between you and the web hosting company hosting our domain.

3.3 Legal Basis for Data Processing

The legal basis for temporarily storing data and web log files is given by article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

3.4 Transmission to Other Countries

Our website is not sending any information acquired in the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) to a third country outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA), and the society is furthermore not processing any data subject's data in a third country.

3.5 Purpose of Data Processing

Temporarily storing the IP address by the hosting service provider and the usage of session cookies are required to make available our website to the PC system of those visiting us on the Internet.
We are using the weblog data, acquired and stored by the web hosting provider, just for the following purposes: statistical evaluations; improvement of our website; safeguarding the security of information processing systems used by us and checking the safety and reliability of the hosting service provider. We are never evaluating these data for commercial or marketing purposes and are nver distributing the data to third parties. The owner of the website retains the right, however, to analyze the weblog files should they contain evidence of any illegal activity.

3.6 Social-media Plugins and Tools of other Companies

The society's websites are not using any plugins or tools of other companies to evaluate your visit of our Internet pages. We are not using any social-media buttons, related tools or plugins.

3.7 Remark for Users of Proxy Servers

Using a proxy server instead of directly accessing our pages may occassionally mean that you are being presented not the current version of our websites but older versions that have been cached that is, stored, on the proxy server provider's system. The same may apply if you are accessing cached website versions offered by some Internet search engines. It is possible in those cases that your IP transmission data, otherwise stored in the web log files, is either not being transmitted or being transmitted in an incomplete or modified manner to our web hosting provider's system. Not having any contractual relationship with any of the proxy service providers or search engine companies, the acquisition of data transmitted to these companies and their evaluation of your data is completely outside the scope of our influence.

4 Email Contact Form and Other Email Contact

 

4.1 Description and Scope of Data Processing

Our German-language page on becoming a member contains a contact form visitors may use to contact us or send an inquiry. On our website, the form's data will never be sent to the hosting service provider to subsequently send us an email from there but are instead being kept local on the visitors computer; upon clicking the send button there should be opened an email program locally installed on the visitor's system. The data you entered are thus not stored on our website and there will be no corresponding database entry and no file on our system. As long as you did not install an email program capable of receiving the data you entered in the browser, or if you did not click the send button in your email program, the data visible in the input forms will not be transmitted to us or anyone else but will instead remain on your system. Before sending the email to us, you may edit and correct all data entered into the input forms like name, postal address, email address. subject and message text of the email.
Instead of using the contact form, you may alternatively use the email addresses given on the site info page and the other pages of our domain. In this case our society stores the personal information from your email internally. We are not storing any of the information received on the hosting service providers servers or on any of the web pages.
All data is exclusively used for processing the communication with you. We are never disclosing any data to third parties.

4.2. Legal Basis for Data Processing

The legal basis for processing in case we have received the data subject's consent is given by article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.
Processing data received in connection with the transmission of an email is done following article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. In case you initiated the email exchange to enter a contract, processing by our system is also allowed by article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
