We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a
particularly high priority for the management of the JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia International.
The use of the Internet pages of the JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia International is possible
without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise
services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing
of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally
obtain consent from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone
number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the
JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia International. By means of this data protection declaration, our
enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the
personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of
this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, the JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia International has implemented numerous
technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data
processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle
have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data
subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.
1. Definitions
The data protection declaration of the JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia International is based on
the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the
general public, as well as our ministry partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the
terminology used.
In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the following terms:
-
a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data
subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in
particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an
online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental,
economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
-
b) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is processed by
the controller responsible for the processing.
-
c) Processing

structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by
transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction,
erasure or destruction.
-
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their
processing in the future.
-
e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of
personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to
analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic
situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
-
f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can
no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information,
provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and
organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or
identifiable natural person.
-
g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing
Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public
authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and
means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing
are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its
nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
-
h) Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes
personal data on behalf of the controller.
-
i) Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the
personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may
receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or
Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those
public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the
purposes of the processing.
-
j) Third party
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data
subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or
processor, are authorised to process personal data.
-
k) Consent
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of
the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action,
signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
2. Name and Address of the controller
Controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data
protection laws applicable in Member states of the European Union and other provisions related
to data protection is:
JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia International
Bahnhofstraße 45
72213 Altensteig
Deutschland
Phone: 07453/25-42
Email: office@christforasia.info
Website: www.christforasia.info
3. Collection of general data and information
The website of the JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia International collects a series of general data
and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data
and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and
versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from
which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5)
the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7)
the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and
information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, the JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia International
does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1)
deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its
advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and
website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary
for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia
International analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of
increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level
of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are
stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
4. Registration on our website
The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller with the indication
of personal data. Which personal data are transmitted to the controller is determined by the
respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are
collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller, and for his own purposes. The
controller may request transfer to one or more processors (e.g. a parcel service) that also uses
personal data for an internal purpose which is attributable to the controller.
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address—assigned by the Internet service
provider (ISP) and used by the data subject—date, and time of the registration are also stored.
The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent
the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed
offenses. Insofar, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the controller. This data is not
passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data, or if the
transfer serves the aim of criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication of personal data, is intended to
enable the controller to offer the data subject contents or services that may only be offered to
registered users due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free to
change the personal data specified during the registration at any time, or to have them completely
deleted from the data stock of the controller.
The data controller shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each data subject as to
what personal data are stored about the data subject. In addition, the data controller shall correct
or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no
statutory storage obligations. A Data Protection Officer particularly designated in this data
protection declaration, as well as the entirety of the controller’s employees are available to the
data subject in this respect as contact persons.
5. Subscription to our newsletters
On the website of the JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia International, users are given the
opportunity to subscribe to our newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what
personal data are transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.
The JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia International informs its partners regularly by means of a
newsletter about the ministry of CFAI. The CFAI newsletter may only be received by the data
subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the
newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address registered by a data
subject for the first time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure.
This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data
subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.
During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system
assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the
registration, as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is
necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at
a later date, and it therefore serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send
our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as
this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as this
could be the case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change
in technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter
service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject
at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given for
shipping the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a
corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the
newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller, or to communicate this to the
controller in a different way.
6. Newsletter-Tracking
The newsletter of the JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia International contains so-called tracking
pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML
format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or
failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the JMS Altensteig
/ Christ for Asia International may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and
which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects.
Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and
analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt
the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. These personal
data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the
respective separate declaration of consent issued by means of the double-opt- in procedure. After
a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. The JMS Altensteig / Christ for
Asia International automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a
revocation.
7. Contact possibility via the website
The website of the JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia International contains information that enables
a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also
includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject
contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data
subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data
subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data
subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
8. Comments function in the blog on the website
The JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia International offers users the possibility to leave individual
comments on individual blog contributions on a blog, which is on the website of the controller. A
blog is a web-based, publicly-accessible portal, through which one or more people called
bloggers or web-bloggers may post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blogposts.
Blogposts may usually be commented by third parties.
If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, the comments made by
the data subject are also stored and published, as well as information on the date of the
commentary and on the user’s (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject. In addition, the IP
address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) to the data subject is also logged. This
storage of the IP address takes place for security reasons, and in case the data subject violates
the rights of third parties, or posts illegal content through a given comment. The storage of these
personal data is, therefore, in the own interest of the data controller, so that he can exculpate in
the event of an infringement. This collected personal data will not be passed to third parties,
unless such a transfer is required by law or serves the aim of the defense of the data controller.
9. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the
period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European
legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.
If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European
legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or
erased in accordance with legal requirements.
10. Rights of the data subject
-
a) Right of confirmation
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the
controller the confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being

-
d) Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the
controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, and the
controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the
following grounds applies, as long as the processing is not necessary:
o The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were
collected or otherwise processed.
o The data subject withdraws consent to which the processing is based according to point (a) of
Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other
legal ground for the processing.

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of
personal data stored by the JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia International, he or she may at any
time contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller. The Data
Protection Officer of the JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia International or another employee shall
promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.
Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) to
erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of
implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other
controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such
controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is
not required. The Data Protection Officer of the JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia International or
another employee will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.
-
e) Right of restriction of processing
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the
controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:
o The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the
controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
o The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and
requests instead the restriction of their use instead.
o The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are
required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
o The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending the
verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the
restriction of the processing of personal data stored by the JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia
International, he or she may at any time contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee
of the controller. The Data Protection Officer of the JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia International
or another employee will arrange the restriction of the processing.
-
f) Right to data portability
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal
data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used
and machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right to transmit those data to another
controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as
long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or
point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the
GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not
necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of
official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the
GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one
controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the
rights and freedoms of others.
In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact the Data
Protection Officer designated by the JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia International or another
employee.
-
g) Right to object
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds
relating to his or her particular situation, at any time, to processing of personal data concerning
him or her, which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to
profiling based on these provisions.
The JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia International shall no longer process the personal data in the
event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the
processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the
establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If the JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia International processes personal data for direct marketing
purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal
data concerning him or her for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is
related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to the JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia
International to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia
International will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to
object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by the JMS Altensteig / Christ for
Asia International for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant
to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task
carried out for reasons of public interest.
In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact the Data Protection
Officer of the JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia International or another employee. In addition, the
data subject is free in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding
Directive 2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object by automated means using technical
specifications.
-
h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a
decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects
concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision (1) is
not is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and
a data controller, or (2) is not authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is
subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and
freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject’s explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the
data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, the
JMS Altensteig / Christ for Asia International shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the
data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human
intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the
decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making,
he or she may at any time directly contact our Data Protection Officer of the JMS Altensteig /
Christ for Asia International or another employee of the controller.
-

another employee of the controller.
11. Data protection for applications and the application procedures
The data controller shall collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of the
processing of the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically.
This is the case, in particular, if an applicant submits corresponding application documents by e-
mail or by means of a web form on the website to the controller. If the data controller concludes
an employment contract with an applicant, the submitted data will be stored for the purpose of
processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment
contract is concluded with the applicant by the controller, the application documents shall be
automatically erased two months after notification of the refusal decision, provided that no other
legitimate interests of the controller are opposed to the erasure. Other legitimate interest in this
relation is, e.g. a burden of proof in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
12. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Facebook
On this website, the controller has integrated components of the enterprise Facebook. Facebook
is a social network.
A social network is a place for social meetings on the Internet, an online community, which
usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social
network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the
Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows social
network users to include the creation of private profiles, upload photos, and network through
friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025,
United States. If a person lives outside of the United States or Canada, the controller is the
Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet website, which is operated by the
controller and into which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-ins) was integrated, the web
browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to
download display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook through the
Facebook component. An overview of all the Facebook Plug-ins may be accessed under
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During the course of this technical procedure,
Facebook is made aware of what specific sub-site of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook detects with every call-
up to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet
site—which specific sub-site of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information
is collected through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook
account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated
into our website, e.g. the “Like” button, or if the data subject submits a comment, then Facebook
matches this information with the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores
the personal data.
Facebook always receives, through the Facebook component, information about a visit to our
website by the data subject, whenever the data subject is logged in at the same time on
Facebook during the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the
data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of information to
Facebook is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off
from their Facebook account before a call-up to our website is made.
The data protection guideline published by Facebook, which is available at
https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and
use of personal data by Facebook. In addition, it is explained there what setting options Facebook
offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, different configuration options are
made available to allow the elimination of data transmission to Facebook. These applications may
be used by the data subject to eliminate a data transmission to Facebook.
13. Data protection provisions about the application and use of YouTube
On this website, the controller has integrated components of YouTube. YouTube is an Internet
video portal that enables video publishers to set video clips and other users free of charge, which
also provides free viewing, review and commenting on them. YouTube allows you to publish all
kinds of videos, so you can access both full movies and TV broadcasts, as well as music videos,
trailers, and videos made by users via the Internet portal.
The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066,
UNITED STATES. The YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy,
Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the
controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) was integrated, the Internet
browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to
download a display of the corresponding YouTube component. Further information about
YouTube may be obtained under https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/en/. During the course of this
technical procedure, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of what specific sub-page of our
website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in on YouTube, YouTube recognizes with each call-up to a sub-page
that contains a YouTube video, which specific sub-page of our Internet site was visited by the
data subject. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the
respective YouTube account of the data subject.
YouTube and Google will receive information through the YouTube component that the data
subject has visited our website, if the data subject at the time of the call to our website is logged
in on YouTube; this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on a YouTube video or not. If
such a transmission of this information to YouTube and Google is not desirable for the data
subject, the delivery may be prevented if the data subject logs off from their own YouTube
account before a call-up to our website is made.
YouTube’s data protection provisions, available at
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/, provide information about the collection,
processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
14. Payment Method: Data protection provisions about the use of PayPal as a
payment processor
On this website, the controller has integrated components of PayPal. PayPal is an online
payment service provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which
represent virtual private or business accounts. PayPal is also able to process virtual payments
through credit cards when a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed
via an e-mail address, which is why there are no classic account numbers. PayPal makes it
possible to trigger online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also accepts
trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.
The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24
Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
If the data subject chooses “PayPal” as the payment option in the donation form during the
donation process, we automatically transmit the data of the data subject to PayPal. By selecting
this payment option, the data subject agrees to the transfer of personal data required for payment
processing.
The personal data transmitted to PayPal is usually first name, last name, address, email address,
IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment
processing. The processing of the purchase contract also requires such personal data, which are
in connection with the respective order.
The transmission of the data is aimed at payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller
will transfer personal data to PayPal, in particular, if a legitimate interest in the transmission is
given. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller for the processing of the
data will be transmitted by PayPal to economic credit agencies. This transmission is intended for
identity and creditworthiness checks.
PayPal will, if necessary, pass on personal data to affiliates and service providers or
subcontractors to the extent that this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or for data to be
processed in the order.
The data subject has the possibility to revoke consent for the handling of personal data at any
time from PayPal. A revocation shall not have any effect on personal data which must be
processed, used or transmitted in accordance with (contractual) payment processing.

15. Payment Method: Data protection provisions about the use of Sofortüberweisung
as a payment processor
On this website, the controller has integrated components of Sofortüberweisung.
Sofortüberweisung is a payment service that allows cashless payment of products and services
on the Internet. Sofortüberweisung is a technical procedure by which the online dealer
immediately receives a payment confirmation. This enables a trader to deliver goods, services or
downloads to the customer immediately after ordering.
The operating company of Sofortüberweisung is SOFORT GmbH, Fußbergstraße 1, 82131
Gauting, Germany.
If the data subject chooses “immediate transfer” as the payment option in our online shop during
the donation process, the data of the data subject will be transmitted to Sofortüberweisung. By
selecting this payment option, the data subject agrees to the transmission of personal data
required for payment processing.
In the case of donation processing via direct transfer, the donor sends the PIN and the TAN to
Sofort GmbH. Sofortüberweisung then carries out a transfer to the online merchant after technical
verification of the account status and retrieval of additional data to check the account assignment.
The online trader is then automatically informed of the execution of the financial transaction.
The personal data exchanged with Sofortüberweisung is the first name, last name, address, email
address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for
payment processing. The transmission of the data is aimed at payment processing and fraud
prevention. The controller shall immediately transfer other personal data, even if a legitimate
interest in the transmission exists. The personal data exchanged between Sofortüberweisung and
the controller shall be transmitted by Sofortüberweisung to economic credit agencies. This
transmission is intended for identity and creditworthiness checks.
Sofortüberweisung provides personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or
subcontractors as far as this is necessary for the fulfillment of contractual obligations or data in
order to be processed.
The data subject has the possibility to revoke the consent to the handling of personal data at any
time from Sofortüberweisung. A revocation shall not have any effect on personal data which must
be processed, used or transmitted in accordance with (contractual) payment processing.

16. Legal basis for the processing
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain
consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the
performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when
processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the
processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations
which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of
inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by
which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the
processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may
be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This
would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age,
health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital
or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally,
processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for
processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if
processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or
by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights
and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing
operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the
European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject
is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
17. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest
is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.
18. Period for which the personal data will be stored
The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory
retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as
long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
19. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement
necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the
personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can
also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it
may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data,
which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to
provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-
provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject
could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject
must contact our Data Protection Officer. Our Data Protection Officer clarifies to the data subject
whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the
conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the
consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
20. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
