We are very pleased about your interest in our local group. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of BRK Wasserwacht Munich Local Group Unterhaching. Use of the website of BRK Wasserwacht Munich Local Group Unterhaching is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our local group via our website, processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to BRK Wasserwacht Munich Local Group Unterhaching. By means of this privacy policy, our local group wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.

As the controller responsible for processing, BRK Wasserwacht Munich Local Group Unterhaching has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Definitions

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.

  • f) Pseudonymisation

  • g) Controller or controller responsible for processing

    Controller or controller responsible for processing means 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.

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.

    Third party means 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.

2. Name and address of the controller

Controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions of a data protection nature is:

BRK Wasserwacht Munich Local Group Unterhaching

Perchtinger Strasse 5

81379 Munich, Germany

Phone: +49 89 23 73 0

Email: info@wasserwacht-unterhaching.de

Website: www.wasserwacht-unterhaching.de

3. Collection of general data and information

The website of BRK Wasserwacht Munich Local Group Unterhaching collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be collected: (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 accessed on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, BRK Wasserwacht Munich Local Group Unterhaching does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimise the content of our website and advertising thereof, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated statistically by BRK Wasserwacht Munich Local Group Unterhaching and further with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our local group, to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

4. Subscription to our newsletter

On the website of BRK Wasserwacht Munich Local Group Unterhaching, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our local group's newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller responsible for processing when subscribing to the newsletter is determined by the input mask used.

BRK Wasserwacht Munich Local Group Unterhaching informs subscribers at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about offers from the local group. The newsletter can generally only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address first registered by a data subject for newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to verify whether the owner of the email address has authorised receipt of the newsletter as the data subject.

When subscribing to the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the email address of a data subject at a later date and therefore serves the legal protection of the controller responsible for processing.

The personal data collected as part of a newsletter registration is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, newsletter subscribers may be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as may be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in technical circumstances. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be cancelled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for newsletter dispatch may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, a corresponding link is found in every newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller responsible for processing or to communicate this to the controller in another way.

We use the service dm-mailinglist.com for sending our newsletter. When you subscribe to the newsletter, your email address is transmitted to and stored by dm-mailinglist.com. This is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may revoke your consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

5. Newsletter tracking

The newsletters of BRK Wasserwacht Munich Local Group Unterhaching contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Using the embedded tracking pixel, BRK Wasserwacht Munich Local Group Unterhaching can recognise whether and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links in the email were called up by the data subject.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters is stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimise newsletter dispatch and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate consent given via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. An unsubscription from receipt of the newsletter is automatically interpreted by BRK Wasserwacht Munich Local Group Unterhaching as a revocation.

6. Contact option via the website

The website of BRK Wasserwacht Munich Local Group Unterhaching contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our local group, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller responsible for processing by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller responsible for processing is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no disclosure of this personal data to third parties.

Our contact form uses a technically necessary session cookie to perform CAPTCHA verification. This cookie is automatically deleted when the browser session ends and serves solely to protect against automated misuse of the form. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in website security). Data collected via the contact form (salutation, name, email address, phone, company, subject and message) is forwarded exclusively by email to the relevant department and is not stored in a database.

7. Calendar Module

Our website provides a calendar module for displaying events of BRK Wasserwacht Munich Local Group Unterhaching. The public calendar view can be used without registration or login. When accessing the calendar, no personal data is collected beyond the general access data described in section 3.

Registered users: A protected area is available for managing events, which requires registration. When creating a user account, the following data is processed and stored in a database:

  • Username
  • Display name
  • Email address (optional)
  • Password (stored encrypted as bcrypt hash, not in plain text)
  • Role (Internal or Administrator)
  • Time of account creation

Session management: Upon login, a technically necessary session cookie is set to maintain authentication. This cookie is marked as "secure" and "httponly" and becomes invalid after the end of the session or after a maximum of 2 hours of inactivity. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the security of the administration area).

Calendar subscription (iCal): Registered users can generate a personal iCal feed link to subscribe to the calendar in external applications (e.g. Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook). This link contains a randomly generated token associated with the user account. The token can be regenerated at any time, which invalidates the previous link.

Email notifications: When creating a user account with a stored email address, an automatic welcome email with access details is sent. The email is sent via the web hosting provider's email server. The email address is not shared with third parties.

Legal basis: The processing of registered users' data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in organising and managing club events). User accounts can be deleted at any time by an administrator. Upon deletion of an account, all associated personal data is removed.

8. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller responsible for processing processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or insofar as this has been provided for by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

9. Rights of the data subject

  • a) Right of confirmation

    Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, they may at any time contact an employee of the controller.

    Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay, where one of the specified grounds applies and processing is not necessary.

  • e) Right to restriction of processing

  • f) Right to data portability

    Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning them, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, where processing is based on consent or on a contract and the processing is carried out by automated means.

    To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact an employee of BRK Wasserwacht Munich Local Group Unterhaching.

  • g) Right to object

    Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them. This also applies to profiling. BRK Wasserwacht Munich Local Group Unterhaching 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.

    To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of BRK Wasserwacht Munich Local Group Unterhaching.

  • h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

    Every data subject has 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 them or similarly significantly affects them, unless the decision is necessary for entering into or performance of a contract, is authorised by Union or Member State law, or is based on the data subject's explicit consent.

    If a data subject wishes to exercise rights regarding automated decisions, they may at any time contact an employee of the controller.

  • i) Right to withdraw consent

Only by actively clicking the link will you be redirected to the Facebook website. Only then do Facebook's privacy policies apply (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).

11. Data protection provisions regarding the use of YouTube

The controller has integrated components of YouTube on this website. YouTube is an internet video portal. The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode (youtube-nocookie.com). In this mode, YouTube does not set cookies on your device as long as you do not play a video.

12. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6(1)(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, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. If our local group is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, which would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, where processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our local group or by a third party.

13. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.

14. Duration of storage of personal data

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of a contract.

15. Statutory or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions. Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that a data subject provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will clarify on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what consequences the non-provision would have.

16. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible local group, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
