A. General information on data processing
I. Scope of the processing of personal data
We only collect and use personal data of our users insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website in addition to our content and services. The collection and use of our users’ personal data are only carried out with the user’s consent. An exception applies in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for genuine reasons and where the processing of data is permitted by law.
II. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Art. 6 para. 1 (a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis when we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data. Article 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis when processing personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also applies to process operations that are necessary to implement pre-contractual measures. Art. 6 para. 1 (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis when the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which Global Civic Consulting is subject. Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis when processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of Global Civic Consulting or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the said former interest.
III. Data erasure and duration of storage
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which the data was stored ceases to apply. The data will also be blocked or deleted when a storage period stipulated by the aforementioned standards expires unless there is a need for further storage of the data in order to conclude or perform a contract.
I. Website provision and creation of log files
1. Description and scope of data processing
Every time you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the accessing computer’s system.
The following data are collected:
(1) Information about the browser type and the version used
(2) The user’s operating system
(3) The user’s IP address
(4) Date and time of access
(5) Websites from which the user’s system accesses our website
(6) The URL visited
The data are also stored in our system’s log files. These data are not stored together with other personal data belonging to the user. The user’s IP address is rendered anonymous and is not stored by default. However, the IP address is saved in the event of faulty or aborted access. We cannot technically prevent this.
2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
It is necessary for the system to temporarily store the IP address in order to enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. In order to do this, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. The data are stored in log files to ensure the operability of the website. In addition, the data help us to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. There is no evaluation of the data for marketing purposes within this context. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest for data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR.
4. Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to attain the purpose for which they were collected. This takes place at the end of the session where data have been collected in order to provide the website. If anonymized data are stored in log files, this will occur within a maximum of five weeks.
5. Possibility of objection and elimination
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is
absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no possibility to object.
C. Collection of personal data when contacting us
I. Contact by e-mail
1. Description and scope of data processing
In the event of contact by e-mail, the user’s personal data transmitted by the e-mail – e.g. e-mail address, surname, first name, address, and any other personal information contained in the e-mail – will be stored. The data will only be used for processing the conversation or for the purpose of the request.
2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for processing data provided during the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR. If the purpose of the e-mail contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
Data is processed in order to process the contact and related inquiries and concerns.
4. Duration of storage
Data and information provided will be stored for contact purposes and for processing the request, in accordance with the deadlines of the Registry Directive, which supplements the Common Rules of Procedure of Federal Ministries (GGO), which apply to the storage of documents.
5. Possibility of objection and elimination
At any time, the user has the right to object to the processing of his/her data for reasons arising from his/her particular situation. The data are then no longer processed. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. In this case, all personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted. Processing is possible despite the user’s objection, provided that the authority can present compelling reasons for the processing which are worthy of protection and which outweigh the interests, rights, and freedoms of the user.
Objections against processing can be submitted informally to [email protected].
