Privacy Policy

We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our project. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the partnership of the EmpowerHer project. The use of the Internet pages of the EmpowerHer project is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special project services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the EmpowerHer partnership. By means of this data protection declaration, our EmpowerHer partnership would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.

As the controller, the EmpowerHer partnership has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

2. Data Processed for the Provision of the Website and the Creation of Log Files

a. What data is processed and for what purpose?

We process the personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. Personal data is generally processed only with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where obtaining prior consent is not feasible for factual reasons and the processing is permitted by law.

Each time content on the website is accessed, data that may allow identification is temporarily stored. The following data is collected:

  • Date and time of access
  • IP address
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Website from which the website was accessed
  • Websites accessed via our website
  • Page visited on our website
  • Notification whether access was successful
  • Amount of data transferred
  • Information about the browser type and version used
  • Operating system

The temporary storage of data is necessary to enable the delivery of the website during a visit. Further storage in log files is carried out to ensure the functionality of the website and the security of the information technology systems. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing.

b. Legal basis for processing

The legal basis for processing this data is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

c. Storage period

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collected for the provision of the website, this is generally when the respective session has ended.

The criterion for determining the storage period of personal data is the applicable statutory retention period. Once the retention period expires, the corresponding data is routinely deleted unless it is still required for the performance or initiation of a contract.

3. Which recipients will receive your data?

While processing your data, Wisamar Bildungsgesellschaft gemeinnützige GmbH may share your data with:

On Projects Advising SL, as web management and maintenance service providers.

4. Rights of Data Subjects

  • Right of Access: You have the right to request information about the personal data we process concerning you in accordance with Article 15 GDPR.
  • Right to Object: You have the right to object on grounds relating to your particular situation (see Section 8 below).
  • Right to Rectification: If the information concerning you is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request correction or completion pursuant to Article 16 GDPR.
  • Right to Erasure: You may request the deletion of your personal data in accordance with Article 17 GDPR.
  • Right to Restriction of Processing: You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data pursuant to Article 18 GDPR.
  • Right to Lodge a Complaint: If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection law, you have the right under Article 77(1) GDPR to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority of your choice.
  • Right to Data Portability: Where the requirements of Article 20(1) GDPR are met, you have the right to receive the data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either for yourself or for transmission to a third party.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of log files are essential for the operation of the website. Therefore, they are not based on consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or on a contract under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, but are justified under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Consequently, the requirements of Article 20(1) GDPR are not met in this respect.

5. Privacy Policy Regarding the Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google services are integrated and managed via the WordPress plugin Google Site Kit.

Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies that enable an analysis of how users use the website. The information generated by these technologies about your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on Google’s servers. A transfer of data to the United States cannot be excluded.

We use Google Analytics exclusively on the basis of your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG (German Telecommunications-Telemedia Data Protection Act). Consent may be withdrawn or adjusted at any time with future effect via our consent management tool.

IP anonymization has been activated on this website. As a result, your IP address will be truncated by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

Google processes the data on our behalf to evaluate website usage, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage.

Further information on data processing by Google can be found at:

policies.google.com/privacy

6. Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via a contact form, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact details entered there, will be stored and processed for the purpose of handling your request and any follow-up questions.

Depending on the content of your inquiry, the processing of this data is based either on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (for pre-contractual measures or contract performance) or on our legitimate interest in the efficient handling of inquiries pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

The data entered into the contact form remains with us until the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, you request deletion, or statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

7. Integration of External Media and Fonts

Our website may include external content, in particular videos from YouTube or fonts from Google Fonts. When accessing pages containing such content, a connection to the servers of the respective providers may be established. In this process, your IP address and technical information about your browser and device may be processed.

Such content is integrated exclusively on the basis of your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG, where such consent is required.

Further information on data processing can be found in the privacy policies of the respective providers:

8. Cookie Management

To manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and the corresponding consents, we use the consent management tool Real Cookie Banner. Details regarding the operation of Real Cookie Banner can be found at:

devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung

The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the management of cookies and similar technologies as well as the corresponding user consents.

The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide personal data. However, if you do not provide personal data, we will not be able to manage your consent preferences.

9. Right to Object Pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of your personal data where such processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

In the event of an objection, the controller will no longer process the personal data unless compelling legitimate grounds for the processing can be demonstrated which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or unless the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of log files are essential for the operation of the website and therefore cannot be objected to.
