Information about Google Services
Changes to this Data Protection Policy Statement
In the following paragraphs we show which data is processed when and for which purposes and on which lawful bases. This should explain how the services which we offer work and how this ensures that your personal data is protected.
All definitions refer to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
According to Art. 4, definition 1 GDPR, personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified directly or indirectly.
This Data Protection Policy Statement can be retrieved, stored and printed at any time under https://www.dgzfp.de/Datenschutz.
The data protection information pursuant to Art. 13 GDPR can be viewed at any time under https://www.dgzfp.de/dsgvo.
According to Art. 21 GDPR you have a right to object to processing of personal data insofar as we cite legitimate interests pursued by us or a third party (Art. 6(1) f) GDPR) as lawful basis.
According to Art. 21 GDPR you have the right
to lodge an objection at any time to processing of personal data. Then we shall no longer process the personal data for purposes of direct marketing or related profiling.
If you have objected, we shall also not process your personal data for other purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for such processing which override your inter-ests, rights and freedoms or demonstrate that this processing serves to establish or defend legal claims or to exercise legal rights (Art. 21 par. 1 GDPR, „restricted right to object“). In this case you would have to justify your objection by presenting reasons that are rooted in your particular situation.
Where personal data of yours is processed for scientific or historical research purposes or statisti-cal purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, you may object to this processing on grounds related to your particular situation unless this processing is necessary for the performance of a task car-ried out for reasons of public interest (Art. 21 par. 6 GDPR).
In order to provide a complete overview of data processing in this Data Protection Policy State-ment, we have inserted links to other websites with useful information and remarks about data processing (see also the section „Social Networks & External Links“ of this Data Protection Policy Statement). Of course, we do our best to keep each of these links up to date. Since, however, websites are updated continually, we cannot guarantee that these links all work correctly. If you come across such a defective link, please do let us know so that we can re-place it with the current version.
2) Ultimately Responsible Party (“Controller”)
The party ultimately responsible in accordance with Art. 4 definition 7 GDPR for our processing of personal data is:
3) Contact Partner for Data Protection
Please turn to our data protection officer for all questions about processing your personal data and about your related rights:
Telephone: (+49) 30 67807-0
4) Your Basic Rights
You have the following basic rights:
Rights to information about and access to your data (Art. 15 GDPR)
Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR, ‘right to be forgotten’)
Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 and 19 GDPR)
If you have any questions of this type, please direct them to datenschutz@dgzfp.de , keeping in mind that we must first satisfy ourselves that the person contacting us is a person whose rights are actually concerned.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection officer without prejudice to any oth-er legal remedies under administrative law or before a court.
Our website does not take any decisions automatically.
5) Data Security
We employ technical and organizational measures to secure our website and other systems, includ-ing your personal data, against loss, destruction by unauthorized third parties, and access or chang-es to it or dissemination of it by unauthorized third parties. Regular controls notwithstanding, it is still not possible to protect it completely against all hazards.
We process the data of our members, supporters, interested parties, customers and other persons pursuant to Art. 6(1)b) GDPR insofar as we offer them contractual services or are active, for exam-ple vis à vis members, in the context of existent business relationships, or are ourselves recipients of services and donations. We also process the data of persons who are concerned pursuant to Art. 6(1)f) GDPR in view of our legitimate interests, for example in respect to administrative tasks or public relations work.
The data that is processed thereby, and the type, extent, purpose and necessity of processing, are determined by the underlying contractual relationship. This includes inventory and master data of the person (e.g. name and address) as well as the contact data (e.g. email address, telephone number) the contract data (services used, notified contents and information, names of contact persons) and, insofar as we offer services or products in exchange for payment, payment data (e.g. banking details, payment history). We delete data when it is no longer needed to render services in accordance with our articles of association and business purposes. This depends on the tasks at hand and the contractual relationships. If business processing is required, we keep the data for as long as it can be relevant for business purposes, including warranty and liability obligations. The necessity of keeping data is reviewed every three years; otherwise, the statutory provisions apply.
Each time our website is invoked by you, data and information from your device’s system is collect-ed automatically and stored in server log files. This data is information that refers to an identified or identifiable natural person (here: website visitor). This data is transmitted automatically by your browser each time our website is invoked. The following information is collected:
Time of day at which our website was invoked (obtained from host provider’s server).
URL of the website from which you invoked our website,
The operating system that you use,
Type and version of the browser that you use,
IP Address of your computer.
This processing makes it possible for your device to invoke our website and for your device or browser to present our website correctly. The data also serves to optimize our website and ensure the security of our systems. This processing does not analyse any of this data for marketing pur-poses.
The lawful basis for this processing is Art. 6(1) f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in presenting you with a website that has been optimized for your browser and in making it possible for your end device to communicate with our server. Your IP address is needed for this communication to be set up.
Each piece of information that is processed is stored for as long as is necessary for its intended pur-pose and for as long as is prescribed by law.
The recipient of this data is our server host, which is active for us in the context of contract data processing.
That personal data be provided is not required by law or contract, nor is it needed to conclude a contract. You are also under no obligation to provide personal data. However, if such data is not provided, you might not be able to use our website to its full extent, or not even able to use it at all.
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files which are stored on your device so that use of our website is more convenient. Inputs and settings can be stored in cookies so that you do not have to enter them again each time you visit our website. Cookies contain a “cookie ID” which makes it pos-sible to recognize the device in which the cookie was stored. We use the following types of cookies.

That personal data be provided is not required by law or contract, nor is it needed to conclude a contract. You are also under no obligation to provide personal data. However, if such data is not provided, there are circumstances under which you might not be able to use our website to its full extent, or not even able to use it at all.
Other services used by us use cookies too. We advise you of the use of cookies separately for each of these services.
If data is processed in a third country (i.e. one outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) or if this is done in the context of hiring services of third parties or disclosing or transferring data to third parties, then this shall be done only if it is done in fulfilment of our con-tractual or pre-contractual obligations, or on the basis of your consent, or on the basis of a statutory obligation, or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to statutory and contractual permits, we process data or have it processed in a third country only under the special requirements of Art. 44 50 GDPR. That is to say, processing is permissible only on the basis of special guarantees such as an officially recognized determination that the level of data protection is comparable to that in the EU (e.g. through the “Privacy Shield” in the U.S.A.) or observance of officially recognized spe-cial contractual obligations (“standard contract clauses”).
7) Information about Google services
Our website uses various services of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).
Further information about each of the Google services used by this website is given in this Data Protection Policy Statement.
Google services are included so that Google can, under certain circumstances, collect and process data, including personal data. It cannot be ruled out that Google will also transfer such information to a server in a third country.
It follows from Google’s privacy shield certification (https://www.privacyshield.gov/list, search on “Google”), Google has committed itself to comply with the EU-US privicy shield framework and the Swiss-US privacy shield framework for collecting, using and storing personal data from the member states of the EU and from Switzerland. Google, including Google LLC and its fully owned subsidiaries in the USA, has declared through certification that it complies with the principles of the privacy shield. Details about this are available at https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/frameworks/.
We are unable to exert any influence on which data Google actually collects and processes. How-ever, Google says that in principle the following information, as well as other information, including personal data, can be processed.
Protocol data (especially the IP address)
Location related information
When you are logged into your Google account, Google is able to attach the processed information to your account in dependence on your account settings and to treat this informaiton as personal data. See https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/partners/.
Google says, among other things,
“Under certain circumstances, we link personal data from a [Google] service with information and personal data from other Google services. This simplifies, for example, sharing contents with friends and acquaintances. Your activities at other websites and in apps are linked with your per-sonal data, depending on your account settings, in order to improve Google’s services and adver-tisements that are faded in by Google.“ ( https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/index.html)
You can prevent direct attachment of this data by logging out of your Google account or using the corresponding account settings in your Google account. You can also prevent installation of cookies, insofar as Google sets some, by means of the appropriate settings in your browser; however, we must warn you that if this is done you might not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.
You find out how to delete cookies in the most common browsers by visiting the following websites (among others):

Information about the private sphere settings of Google is available at: https://privacy.google.com/take-control.html
8) Use of “Google Analytics”
We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analysis service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphi-theatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).
Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, which are text files that are stored on your device and make it possible to analyse usage of the websites you have visited. Google Analytics can also use web beacons (invisible graphics). Information such as visitor traffic in websites can be analysed by means of these web beacons. The information generated by cookies and web beacons about the use of our website (including the IP addresses of the users) are transferred to a server of Google’s, possibly in the USA or other third contry, and stored there. This information can be passed on by Google to contract partners of Google.
Information about the existent privacy shield certification of Google and further relevant data about Google’s data processing in the context of using Google services is contained in section “6) Information about Google Services” of this Data Protection Policy Statement.
The following types of data are processed by Google:
Online ID’s (including cookie ID’s)
Device ID’s
“ID’s assigned by a customer“[A1]
Moreover, further detailed information about the processed information is available at https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/#infocollect under “Data which we receive because of your use of our services“, and at https://privacy.google.com/businesses/adsservices/.
Google Analytics is used only with activated IP anonymization (“anonymize IP”) [A2]. Then your IP address is shortened by Google somewhere in the member states of the European Union or other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA). Only in exceptional cases is the entire IP address transferred to one of Google’s servers in the USA and shortened there.
In addition, we have concluded a contract with Google on contract processing for use of Google Analytics (Art. 28 GDPR). This means that Google processes the data on our behalf in order to ana-lyze your use of the website, compile reports for us on website activities, and render for us further services that are related to website and internet usage. Google can transfer this information to third parties insofar as this is prescribed by law or such third parties process this data for Google.
By including Google Analytics we pursue the purpose of analyzing user behaviour in our website so that we can react to it and continually improve our offer.
The lawful basis for the processing of personal data described here is Art. 6(1) f) GDPR. Our legiti-mate interest here lies in the great utility which the functions described above have for our offer. By analysing user behaviour statistically, we are able to react to this behaviour in accordance with our interests and optimize our offer.
Google is entitled to hire subcontractors in the context of contract processing. A list of these sub-contractors is available at https://privacy.google.com/businesses/subprocessors/.
You have a right to object. You can prevent processing of your data by Google in that you download and install the browser plug-in that is available under the following link:
You can also prevent data collection by Google Analytics in that you click on the following link. This sets an opt-out cookie which prevents collection of your data when you visit this website in future. Google Analytics deaktivieren.

Registration is completed in accordance with the double opt-in procedure, as follows. When the registration data is sent to us, you will receive an activation link at the email address in this data. To complete your registration, you must confirm it by activating (clicking on) this link. This ensures that the email address in the registration data actually belongs to you. If the activation link is not used within a short period of time, it will lose its function, the registration data that we have received will be deleted, and if you want to register after all, you will have to start over again.
When you click on the activation link, the following data will be processed in the context of the foregoing double opt-in procedure.
Date and time of activation
The personal data is processed in order to provide the user with his or her own user account. The double opt-in data is processed in order to prevent misuse of registration and to document the fact that the user has taken note of the data protection information provided by us.
The lawful basis for the processing of personal data described here is Art. 6(1) f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in providing you with a user account and consequently making it easier for you to use our website. We have a legitimate interest in processing the double opt-in data in order to prevent misuse of our registration function. We also have a legitimate interest in keeping a record of registration, thus documenting the fact that the user has takein note of the data protection in-formation provided by us.
You have a right to object.. You can deactivate or delete your user account by yourself at any time.
You can also send us or notify us of your objection at any time (e.g. email to datenschutz@dgzfp.de).
The information that has been processed is stored only for as long as this is necessary for its in-tended purpose or is prescribed by law.
The recipient of the data is our server host, which works for us in the context of a contract data agreement.
That personal data be provided is not required by law or contract, nor is it needed to conclude a contract. You are also under no obligation to provide personal data. However, if such data is not provided, as above, it will not be possible to provide you with a user account.
Here, we inform you of the contents of our newsletter, the registration, mailing and statistical anal-ysis procedure, and your rights to object. By subscribing to our newsletter, you declare that you agree to receive it and that you are in agreement with the procedures described.
Content of the newsletter: we send newsletters, emails and other electronic notifications with promotional information (hereinafter “newsletter”) only with the agreement of the recipients or a statutory permit. If, while registering for the newsletter, a user paraphrases its contents, then the user’s wording shall be decisive in respect to the user’s approval. Also, our newsletters contain information about our products and accompanying information (e.g. safety cautions), offers, sales campaigns and our company.
Double opt-in documentation: registrations for our newsletters are accepted in accordance with a double opt-in procedure. This means that when you have registered you wil receive an email in which you are asked to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with third plarty email addresses. A record is kept of each registratration for the newsletter so that we can demonstrate that the registration process complies with the legal requirements. This includes storage of the registration and confirmation times and of the IP address. A record is likewise kept of the changes to the data of yours that is stored by our partners who mail the news-letter.
Registration data: To register for the newsletter, it suffices to give us your email address. We also ask for, but do not require, someone’s name so that this individual can be addressed personally in the newsletter.
Shipment of the newsletter and the associated performance measurement is based on the recipi-ents’ approvals pursuant to Art. 6(1) a), Art. 7 GDPR in connection with Sect. 107 par. 2 TKG (Ger-man Telecommunications Act), or, should approval not be required, then on our legitimate interest in direct marketing pursuant to Art. 6(1) f) GDPR in connection with Sect. 107 par. 2 and 3 TKG.
The record of the registration procedure is based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1) f) GDPR. Our interest is directed to using a user-friendly, reliable newsletter system that serves both our business interests as well as the users’ expectations and that also allows us to demonstrate that the users have approved.
Cancellation − You can cancel your agreement to receive our newsletter at any time. There is a can-cellation link at the end of each newsletter. Before we delete them, we can store the email ad-dresses which have been crossed out for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests of being able to prove that a particular user had originally agreed to receive the newsletters. Pro-cessing of this data is limited to the purpose of our being able to ward of any claims. Individual re-quests for deletion are possible at all times provided only that the user confirms that approval had existed.
11) Changes to this Data Protection Policy Statement
