Privacy Policy

Data protection declaration / duty to provide information according to § 5 TMG & Art. 13/14 GDPR

At ENFSI e.V., we believe the protection of personal data involves far more than just complying with legislation. We are therefore happy that you are interested in how we handle personal data.

We always process personal data such as a person’s name, address, e-mail address, or phone number in accordance with applicable privacy law.

With this privacy notice, we would like to inform everyone about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data that we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, we would like to explain to the persons concerned the rights to which they are entitled.

ENFSI e.V. has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via this Web site is protected as comprehensively as possible.

Despite the care we take, Internet-based data transmission is vulnerable to security flaws and, consequently, absolute protection can never be guaranteed. For this reason, you of course have the option of transmitting your personal data by alternative means, for example, by telephone or post.

The data you enter for the purpose of receiving newsletters (e.g. email address) is stored on CleverReach’s servers in Germany or Ireland.
We use the double opt-in method to send out our newsletter. This means that we will only send you an e-mail newsletter if you have explicitly confirmed that you give your consent to us sending newsletters. We will then send you a confirmation e-mail asking you to confirm your desire to receive future newsletters by clicking on a corresponding a link.
By clicking on the confirmation link, you grant us permission to use your personal data in accordance with GDPR art. 6(1)(a). When you register for our newsletter, we save the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP) along with the date and time of registration so that we can trace any misuse of your e-mail address at a later point in time. The data that we collect when you register for the newsletter is used exclusively for promotional purposes in the form of our newsletter.

Our newsletters sent with CleverReach allow us to analyse the behaviour of the newsletter recipients. Among other things, we can analyse how many recipients have opened the newsletter message and how often which link in the newsletter was clicked.

Cookies

The Web site for ENFSI e.V. uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are downloaded and stored on a computer system through a Web browser.

There are numerous Web sites and servers that use cookies. Many cookies contain what is called a cookie ID, which acts as a unique identifier for the cookie. The ID consists of a sequence of characters through which Web sites and servers can recognize the specific Web browser in which the cookie was saved. This makes it possible for the visited Web sites and servers to differentiate between the data subject’s individual browser and other browsers that receive other cookies. Specific Web browsers can thus be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, ENFSI e.V. can provide Web site users with more user-friendly services that would otherwise not be possible.

The use of cookies optimizes the information and offerings on our Web site for the user’s benefit. Cookies enable us to recognize the people using our Web site, as described above. The reason we seek to recognize users is so that we can make it easier for them to use our Web site. A person who uses a Web site that saves cookies, for example, does not have to repeatedly log in every time he/she visits the site, as the Web site and the cookie saved on the user’s computer take care of it for him/her. Another example is the cookie saved for a shopping basket in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items the customer puts in his/her virtual basket by using a cookie.

The data subject can at any time stop cookies being saved by our Web site by activating the corresponding settings in his/her Web browser and, in doing so, permanently object to cookies being saved. Furthermore, cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time using the Web browser or other software programs. This is a function available in all common Web browsers. If the data subject deactivates his/her Web browser’s cookie-saving function, it may in some cases no longer be possible to use the complete functionality of our Web site.

Cookie Consent Banner

The website uses a Cookie Consent Banner from Borlabs to enable you to give your consent for certain technical tools in accordance with data protection regulations. For this purpose we use Borlabs Cookie, which sets a technically necessary cookie (borlabs cookie) to store your cookie consents. Borlabs Cookie does not process any personal data according to its own statements, https://borlabs.io/kb/what-information-does-borlabs-cookie-store/

The borlabs cookie stores your consent that you gave when you entered the website. If you wish to revoke these consents, simply delete the cookie via your cookie settings on our website or via your browser. When you re-enter/reload the website, you will be asked again for your cookie consent.

Otherwise the expiry date of the cookie is one week.

Detailed information about Borlabs can be found on https://borlabs.io/

Privacy policy for the use and Application of Google Maps

The data controller has integrated Google Maps on this website.

Google Maps (API) is a web service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”) to display interactive (land) maps for visual representation of geographical information. By using this service, visitors to the website are shown the company’s location and any directions are made easier.

Information about the use of the respective website (such as the IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the USA as soon as the sub-pages into which the Google Maps map is integrated are accessed. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which the person concerned is logged in, or whether no user account exists. If the person concerned is logged in to Google, their data will be assigned directly to their account. If this assignment is not desired, the person concerned must log out before activating the button. Google saves the data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. The data transmission takes place in particular according to art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR based on your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time via your cookie settings on our website or via your browser. Furthermore, you have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified for the US-European data protection agreement “Privacy Shield”, which guarantees compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU.

If the person concerned does not agree to the future transmission of his/her data to Google as part of the use of Google Maps, it is also possible to completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by switching off the JavaScript application in the browser. Google Maps and therefore also the map display on this website cannot be used.

Google’s terms of use can be viewed at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html, the additional terms of use for Google Maps can be found at www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html

Detailed information on data protection in connection with the use of Google Maps can be found on Google’s website (“Google Privacy Policy”): www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

Data Protection Provisions for the Use of Google Fonts

The controller has integrated Google Fonts into this Web site. Google provides free fonts that can be used when designing Web sites. Google Fonts was installed locally. A transfer of data does not take place. Only if you give your consent (GDPR art. 6(1)(a)) for Google Maps, Google Fonts will be automatically included for the display of Google Maps.

So that fonts for Google Maps can be displayed consistently, this Website uses Web fonts that are provided by Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”). When visiting a page on our Web site, the data subject’s browser loads the required Web fonts into its cache so that it can display text and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser used by the data subject must establish a connection with Google’s servers. This process informs Google of the corresponding page being visited from the data subject’s IP address. If the data subject’s browser does not support Web fonts, the data subject’s computer will use a default font.

Google LLC., based in the United States, has been certified for the purposes of the U.S.-EU “Privacy Shield” data protection framework, which ensures compliance with the level of privacy required in the EU.

You can find more information about Google Fonts at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
