Privacy policy

How does CHAY YA use your data?

We distinguish between two types of data: pseudonymized and personal data.

Pseudonymized data cannot be assigned to you as a person and concerns items such as the browser and operating system you use to view our site. We use such data to improve our site and, for example, to correct display errors on certain systems. For this purpose we use the Google Analytics service (see below).

Personal data, on the other hand, can be assigned to you. We collect such data when you enter your e-mail address, postal address, telephone or fax number or your name in order to make a donation or subscribe to our newsletter. We use this data to process and thank you for your donation and to transfer it to your local tax office for tax deductibility.

If you have given us your consent, we will also use your data to send you our newsletter. The dispatch of our newsletter after your recorded consent as well as the associated statistical evaluations are based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO and serve our business interests as well as the optimization of the desired information transfer to our donors and supporters alike.

After the legal deadline, your personal data will be automatically pseudonymized on our part.

How can you obtain information?

Of course, you can always ask us what personal data we have stored about you. Please contact our chairwoman Sabine Klotz.

Among other things, you can revoke your consent to receive information at any time by email to info@chay-ya.org and/or request the deletion or correction of your data.

Email newsletter

We send our email newsletter, to which you can subscribe here, via the US provider Mailchimp. To subscribe, you have to give us permission to share the data necessary for sending the newsletter with Mailchimp and to store it on the servers of the provider located in the USA. See below for details.

You can unsubscribe or cancel your subscription to our newsletter at any time. You will find the unsubscribe link at the bottom of every newsletter.

Why and how does our website use cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and allow us to analyze your use of our website. You can set your browser to inform you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only in individual cases. You can also exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are blocked, the functionality of various websites may be limited.

Server log files

For the purpose of setting up technical protection measures against digital attacks, our server automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. In concrete terms these are:

• • IP address of the accessing computer
  • Browser and operating system
  • Date and time of the server request
  • used protocol and port

This data cannot be assigned to you as a person. A consolidation of this data with other data sources is only carried out if there is a justified suspicion of illegal use or attempted hacker attacks.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses cookies for evaluation purposes. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities for the website operator and to provide further services related to website and internet use. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. By using this website, you agree to the processing of the data collected about you by Google in the manner described above and for the aforementioned purpose.

Mailchimp

We send our email newsletters via MailChimp, a newsletter service provider of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

The email addresses of our newsletter recipients, their names and format preference (if specified in the subscription) are stored on the servers of MailChimp in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. MailChimp reserves the right to use this information to optimize or improve our own services. MailChimp does not use the data of our subscribers to write to them itself or pass them on to third parties. We use the services of Mailchimp (registration protocol, dispatch, statistics, analyses) based on our legitimate interests according to art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. We are concerned about user-friendliness and security as well as our business interests.

Here you can read the privacy policy of MailChimp.

How we log your consent: Double Opt-In

If you subscribe to our newsletter, this will be done in a double opt-in process. This means for you: After your registration you will receive an e-mail in which we ask you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that we can prove your consent if necessary. For this purpose, the time of registration and confirmation as well as your IP address will also be saved.

HelpDirect e.V.

Online donations are processed through our partner Help Direct (for more information about HelpDirect, please visit www.helpdirect.org)

The information necessary to process donations (name, address, email, account or credit card information, date of birth, telephone number) is requested in a form provided by HelpDirect on our website, linked to the donation date and time, encrypted and sent directly to HelpDirect. Your data is then stored on servers of HelpDirect e.V. in the Federal Republic of Germany until it is deleted and is exported to our own donations database for further processing and, if necessary, for contacting you. Under no circumstances will this data be passed on, sold, leased or otherwise commercially disposed of.
