Privacy notice
The legally binding privacy notice is the German version. This page summarises the same information in English.
We take the protection of your personal data seriously and limit ourselves to what is strictly necessary. This site uses no cookies, no analytics, no social-media embeds, and loads no external fonts or scripts.
1. Controller
The data controller within the meaning of the GDPR is:
Kusaidia Afrika – Helfen in Afrika – e.V.
Rolf Schnee (Chairman)
Kelterstraße 44
74321 Bietigheim-Bissingen
Germany
Phone: +49 7142 32370
E-mail: rolf.m.schnee@kusaidia-afrika.de
2. Hosting in Germany (Contabo)
This website is hosted in Germany by:
Contabo GmbH
Aschauer Straße 32a
81549 Munich
Germany
When the site is accessed, Contabo's server logs may process technical access data (IP address, date and time, requested URL, referrer, user agent). Contabo uses this data only to operate and secure the service (DDoS protection, abuse detection) and deletes it automatically after a short period.
Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We have a data-processing agreement (DPA / Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag) with Contabo under Art. 28 GDPR. All processing takes place exclusively in Germany — no transfer to third countries.
3. Cookies & local storage
This site sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser. There is no cookie banner because there is nothing to consent to.
4. Analytics & tracking
We do not measure who does what on the site. No Google Analytics, Matomo, Plausible, heatmaps or tag managers.
5. Fonts
The fonts used (Cormorant Garamond, Inter) are served directly from our host, not via Google Fonts or any other third party. No data is sent to Google when you visit.
6. Contact by e-mail or phone
When you contact us by e-mail or phone, your details (name, contact data, content of your message) are stored to process your enquiry. The contact form on contact.html opens your own e-mail program when submitted — there is no server-side transmission from this website.
7. Membership & donations
If you become a member or donate to our association, we need personal data (name, address, bank details, possibly e-mail) for association administration and donation receipts. This data is processed exclusively within the association, not passed on to third parties, and deleted after statutory retention periods. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) and (c) GDPR.
8. SSL / TLS encryption
This site is served exclusively over an encrypted connection (HTTPS). You'll recognise it by the padlock icon in your browser's address bar.
9. Your rights
At any time, you have the right to:
- Access your stored personal data (Art. 15 GDPR),
- Rectification of incorrect data (Art. 16 GDPR),
- Erasure (Art. 17 GDPR),
- Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR),
- Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR),
- Object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR),
- Withdraw consent at any time (Art. 7 (3) GDPR).
Contact the controller listed above. You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority — for us that is the State Commissioner for Data Protection of Baden-Württemberg.
