Privacy policy

Data protec­tion is of a parti­cu­larly high prio­rity for the Frau­en­be­ra­tungs­stelle Braun­schweig. It is gene­rally possi­ble to use the website of the Braun­schweig Women’s Advice Center without provi­ding any perso­nal data. Howe­ver, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be neces­sary to process perso­nal data. 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, 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 Frau­en­be­ra­tungs­stelle Braun­schweig. By means of this data protec­tion decla­ra­tion, our company would like to inform the public about the type, 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, the Frau­en­be­ra­tungs­stelle Braun­schweig has imple­men­ted nume­rous tech­ni­cal and orga­niza­tio­nal measu­res to ensure the most complete protec­tion of perso­nal data proces­sed through this website. Nevert­hel­ess, Inter­net-based data trans­mis­si­ons can always 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

The data protec­tion decla­ra­tion of the Frau­en­be­ra­tungs­stelle Braun­schweig is based on the terms used by the Euro­pean legis­la­tor for the adop­tion of the Gene­ral Data Protec­tion Regu­la­tion (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and under­stand for the public as well as for our custo­mers and busi­ness part­ners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the termi­no­logy used in advance.

We use the follo­wing terms, among others, in this Privacy Policy:

• a) perso­nal data

  Perso­nal data is any infor­ma­tion rela­ting to an iden­ti­fied or iden­ti­fia­ble natu­ral person (herein­af­ter “data subject”). 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.

  Data subject is any iden­ti­fied or iden­ti­fia­ble natu­ral person whose perso­nal data is proces­sed by the control­ler respon­si­ble for the proces­sing.

• c) Proces­sing

  Proces­sing is any opera­tion or set of opera­ti­ons which is perfor­med on perso­nal data or on sets of perso­nal data, whether or not by auto­ma­ted means, such as coll­ec­tion, recor­ding, orga­niza­tion, struc­tu­ring, storage, adapt­a­tion or altera­tion, retrie­val, consul­ta­tion, use, disclo­sure by trans­mis­sion, disse­mi­na­tion or other­wise making available, alignment or combi­na­tion, rest­ric­tion, erasure or destruc­tion.

• d) Rest­ric­tion of proces­sing

  Rest­ric­tion of proces­sing is the marking of stored perso­nal data with the aim of rest­ric­ting its future proces­sing.

• e) Profil­ing

  Profil­ing means any form of auto­ma­ted proces­sing of perso­nal data consis­ting of the use of perso­nal data to evaluate certain perso­nal aspects rela­ting to a natu­ral person, in parti­cu­lar to analyze or predict aspects concer­ning that natu­ral person’s perfor­mance at work, econo­mic situa­tion, health, perso­nal prefe­ren­ces, inte­rests, relia­bi­lity, beha­vior, loca­tion or move­ments.

• f) Pseud­ony­miza­tion

  Pseud­ony­miza­tion is the proces­sing of perso­nal data in such a manner that the perso­nal data can no longer be attri­bu­ted to a speci­fic data subject without the use of addi­tio­nal infor­ma­tion, provi­ded that such addi­tio­nal infor­ma­tion is kept sepa­ra­tely and is subject to tech­ni­cal and orga­niza­tio­nal measu­res to ensure that the perso­nal data are not attri­bu­ted to an iden­ti­fied or iden­ti­fia­ble natu­ral person.

• h) Proces­sor

  Proces­sor is a natu­ral or legal person, public autho­rity, agency or other body which proces­ses perso­nal data on behalf of the control­ler.

• i) Reci­pi­ent

  Reci­pi­ent is a natu­ral or legal person, public autho­rity, agency or another body, to which the perso­nal data are disc­lo­sed, whether a third party or not. Howe­ver, autho­ri­ties that may receive perso­nal data in the context of a speci­fic inves­ti­ga­tion mandate under Union law or the law of the Member States are not conside­red reci­pi­ents.

• j) Third party

  Third party is 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 autho­ri­zed to process perso­nal data.

• k) Consent

  Consent is any freely given, speci­fic, infor­med and unam­bi­guous indi­ca­tion of the data subjec­t’s wishes by which he or she, by a state­ment or by a clear affir­ma­tive action, signi­fies agree­ment to the proces­sing of perso­nal data rela­ting to him or her.

3. cookies

The Inter­net pages of the Frau­en­be­ra­tungs­stelle Braun­schweig use cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a compu­ter system via an Inter­net brow­ser.

Nume­rous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique iden­ti­fier of the cookie. It consists of a string of charac­ters through which websites and servers can be assi­gned to the speci­fic Inter­net brow­ser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visi­ted to distin­gu­ish the indi­vi­dual brow­ser of the data subject from other Inter­net brow­sers that contain other cookies. A speci­fic Inter­net brow­ser can be reco­gni­zed and iden­ti­fied via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, the Frau­en­be­ra­tungs­stelle Braun­schweig can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possi­ble without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the infor­ma­tion and offers on our website can be opti­mi­zed for the bene­fit of the user. As alre­ady mentio­ned, cookies enable us to reco­gnize the users of our website. The purpose of this reco­gni­tion is to make it easier for users to use our website. For exam­ple, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s compu­ter system. Another exam­ple is the cookie of a shop­ping cart in an online store. The online store remem­bers the items that a custo­mer has placed in the virtual shop­ping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corre­spon­ding setting of the Inter­net brow­ser used and thus perma­nently object to the setting of cookies. Further­more, cookies that have alre­ady been set can be dele­ted at any time via an Inter­net brow­ser or other soft­ware programs. This is possi­ble in all common Inter­net brow­sers. If the data subject deac­ti­va­tes the setting of cookies in the Inter­net brow­ser used, not all func­tions of our website may be fully usable.

4. coll­ec­tion of gene­ral data and infor­ma­tion

The website of the Frau­en­be­ra­tungs­stelle Braun­schweig coll­ects a series of gene­ral data and infor­ma­tion when a data subject or auto­ma­ted system calls up the website. This gene­ral data and infor­ma­tion is stored in the server log files. The (1) brow­ser types and versi­ons used, (2) the opera­ting system used by the acces­sing system, (3) the website from which an acces­sing system acces­ses our website (so-called refer­rer), (4) the sub-websites which are acces­sed via an acces­sing system on our website can be recor­ded, (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 used for secu­rity purpo­ses in the event of attacks on our infor­ma­tion tech­no­logy systems.

When using these gene­ral data and infor­ma­tion, the Frau­en­be­ra­tungs­stelle Braun­schweig does not draw any conclu­si­ons about the data subject. Rather, this infor­ma­tion is needed to (1) deli­ver the content of our website correctly, (2) opti­mize the content of our website as well as its adver­ti­se­ment, (3) ensure the long-term viabi­lity of our infor­ma­tion tech­no­logy systems and website tech­no­logy, and (4) provide law enforce­ment autho­ri­ties with the infor­ma­tion neces­sary for crimi­nal prose­cu­tion in case of a cyber-attack. Ther­e­fore, the Frau­en­be­ra­tungs­stelle Braun­schweig analy­zes anony­mously coll­ec­ted data and infor­ma­tion statis­ti­cally, with the aim of incre­asing the data protec­tion and data secu­rity of our enter­prise, and to ensure an opti­mal level of protec­tion for the perso­nal data we process. The anony­mous data of the server log files are stored sepa­ra­tely from all perso­nal data provi­ded by a data subject.

5 Routine dele­tion and blocking of perso­nal data

The control­ler shall process and store the perso­nal data of the data subject only for the period neces­sary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is gran­ted by the Euro­pean legis­la­tor or other legis­la­tors in laws or regu­la­ti­ons to which the control­ler is subject to.

If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a storage period prescri­bed by the Euro­pean legis­la­tor or another compe­tent legis­la­tor expi­res, the perso­nal data will be routi­nely blocked or dele­ted in accordance with the statu­tory provi­si­ons.

7 Data protec­tion provi­si­ons about the appli­ca­tion and use of Face­book

The data control­ler has inte­gra­ted Face­book compon­ents on this website. Face­book is a social network.

A social network is a social meeting place opera­ted on the Inter­net, an online commu­nity that gene­rally enables users to commu­ni­cate with each other and inter­act in virtual space. A social network can serve as a plat­form for the exch­ange of opini­ons and expe­ri­en­ces or enable the Inter­net commu­nity to provide perso­nal or company-rela­ted infor­ma­tion. Among other things, Face­book allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests.

The opera­ting company of Face­book is Face­book, Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the control­ler for the proces­sing of perso­nal data is Face­book Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

With each call-up to one of the indi­vi­dual pages of this Inter­net site, which is opera­ted by the control­ler and into which a Face­book compo­nent (Face­book plug-ins) was inte­gra­ted, the web brow­ser on the infor­ma­tion tech­no­logy system of the data subject is auto­ma­ti­cally prompted to down­load display of the corre­spon­ding Face­book compo­nent from Face­book through the Face­book compo­nent. A complete over­view of all Face­book plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this tech­ni­cal process, Face­book recei­ves infor­ma­tion about which speci­fic subpage of our website is visi­ted by the person concer­ned.

If the data subject is logged in to Face­book at the same time, Face­book reco­gni­zes which speci­fic subpage of our website the data subject is visi­ting each time the data subject acces­ses our website and for the entire dura­tion of the respec­tive stay on our website. This infor­ma­tion is coll­ec­ted by the Face­book compo­nent and assi­gned by Face­book to the respec­tive Face­book account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Face­book buttons inte­gra­ted on our website, for exam­ple the “Like” button, or if the data subject makes a comment, Face­book assigns this infor­ma­tion to the perso­nal Face­book user account of the data subject and stores this perso­nal data.

Face­book always recei­ves infor­ma­tion via the Face­book compo­nent that the data subject has visi­ted our website if the data subject is logged in to Face­book at the same time as acces­sing our website; this occurs regard­less of whether the data subject clicks on the Face­book compo­nent or not. If the data subject does not want this infor­ma­tion to be trans­mit­ted to Face­book, they can prevent the trans­mis­sion by logging out of their Face­book account before acces­sing our website.

The data policy published by Face­book, which is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provi­des infor­ma­tion about the coll­ec­tion, proces­sing and use of perso­nal data by Face­book. It also explains what settings opti­ons Face­book offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. Various appli­ca­ti­ons are also available that make it possi­ble to suppress data trans­mis­sion to Face­book. Such appli­ca­ti­ons can be used by the data subject to suppress data trans­mis­sion to Face­book.

8. legal basis of the proces­sing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company 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, as is the case, for exam­ple, when proces­sing opera­ti­ons are neces­sary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service or conside­ra­tion, the proces­sing is based on Article 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such proces­sing opera­ti­ons that are neces­sary to carry out pre-contrac­tual measu­res, for exam­ple in cases of inqui­ries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obli­ga­tion which requi­res the proces­sing of perso­nal data, such as for the fulfill­ment of tax obli­ga­ti­ons, the proces­sing is based on Art. 6 I lit. 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. This would be the case, for exam­ple, if a visi­tor were inju­red in our company and their name, age, health insu­rance details or other vital infor­ma­tion had to be passed on to a doctor, hospi­tal or other third party. Then the proces­sing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d DS-GVO are based.
Ulti­m­ately, proces­sing opera­ti­ons could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GVO are based. This legal basis is used for proces­sing opera­ti­ons which are not covered by any of the afore­men­tio­ned legal bases if proces­sing is neces­sary for the purpo­ses of the legi­ti­mate inte­rests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such inte­rests are over­ridden by the inte­rests or funda­men­tal rights and free­doms of the data subject which require protec­tion of perso­nal data. We are permit­ted to carry out such proces­sing opera­ti­ons in parti­cu­lar because they have been speci­fi­cally mentio­ned by the Euro­pean legis­la­tor. In this respect, it took the view that a legi­ti­mate inte­rest could be assu­med if the data subject is a custo­mer of the control­ler (Reci­tal 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

9. legi­ti­mate inte­rests in the proces­sing pursued by the control­ler or a third party

If the proces­sing of perso­nal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legi­ti­mate inte­rest is the perfor­mance of our busi­ness acti­vi­ties for the bene­fit of the well-being of all our employees and our share­hol­ders.

10. dura­tion for which the perso­nal data is stored

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

11. legal or contrac­tual provi­si­ons for the provi­sion of perso­nal data; neces­sity for the conclu­sion of the contract; obli­ga­tion of the data subject to provide the perso­nal data; possi­ble conse­quen­ces of non-provi­sion

We would like to inform you that the provi­sion of perso­nal data is partly requi­red by law (e.g. tax regu­la­ti­ons) or may also result from contrac­tual regu­la­ti­ons (e.g. infor­ma­tion on the contrac­tual part­ner).
Some­ti­mes it may be neces­sary for a contract to be concluded for a data subject to provide us with perso­nal data that must subse­quently be proces­sed by us. For exam­ple, the data subject is obli­ged to provide us with perso­nal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Fail­ure to provide the perso­nal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.
Before perso­nal data is provi­ded by the data subject, the data subject must cont­act one of our employees. Our employee clari­fies to the data subject whether the provi­sion of the perso­nal data is requi­red by law or contract or is neces­sary for the conclu­sion of the contract, whether there is an obli­ga­tion to provide the perso­nal data and the conse­quen­ces of non-provi­sion of the perso­nal data.

12. exis­tence of auto­ma­ted decis­ion-making

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