Legal bases for data processing in this website

Personal data is processed in accordance with the following principles:

  • a legal provision permits or orders the processing of personal data (Section 6 No. 1 DSG-EKD);
  • the data subject has given consent to the processing of personal data relating to them for one or more specific purposes (Section 6 No. 2 DSG-EKD);
  • processing is necessary for the performance of the tasks of the responsible body, including the exercise of church supervision (Section 6 No. 3 DSG-EKD),
  • processing is necessary for the performance of another task that is in the church’s interest (Section 6 No. 4 DSG-EKD),
  • processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the data subject’s request (Section 6 No. 5 DSG-EKD);
  • processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which the church body is subject (Section 6 No. 6 DSG-EKD);
  • processing is necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person (Section 6 No. 7 DSG-EKD);
  • processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of a third party, unless the interests of the data subject deserving protection prevail, in particular if the data subject is a minor (Section 6 No. 8 DSG-EKD).

 

Recipients of personal data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external bodies. In some cases, this requires the transfer of personal data to these external bodies. We only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is necessary to fulfil a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure of data. When using processors, we only disclose our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, an agreement on joint processing is concluded.

 

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the time of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right of access, rectification and erasure (Sections 19, 20 and 21 DSG-EKD)

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restriction of processing (Section 22 DSG-EKD)

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
  • If you have lodged an objection under Section 25 DSG-EKD, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, this data may—apart from being stored—only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important church interest.

Right to data portability (Section 24 DSG-EKD)

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in the performance of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to you or to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only insofar as it is technically feasible.

The right to data portability does not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task that is in the interest of the church or carried out in the context of church supervision entrusted to the church body.

Right to object (Section 25 DSG-EKD)

You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you pursuant to Section 6 No. 1, 3, 4 or 8 DSG-EKD; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless there is a compelling church interest in the processing, the interests of a third party outweigh your interests, or a legal provision requires processing.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of breaches of data protection law, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority is:

Regional Data Protection Officer responsible for the EKD:
Hafenbad 22

SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

If SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

  • The user’s internet service provider
  • The user’s IP address
  • Date and time of access
  • Websites from which the user’s system reaches our website

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to evaluate user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions or for optimising the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Section 6 No. 3 and 8 DSG-EKD, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services.

If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of that consent (Section 6 No. 2 DSG-EKD and Section 25 (1) TDDDG); consent can be withdrawn at any time.

You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions—especially retention periods—remain unaffected.

Mandatory statutory provisions—especially statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.

Application form

If you send us enquiries via the application form, your details from the application form, including the contact details you provide there and the application documents submitted, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
