Data collection and use for establishing contact

We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it to us when you contact us (e.g. using the contact form or email).

Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR to process your contact requests.

A contact form for donations and sponsorship is available on our website, which can be used to establish sponsorships. If a user makes use of this option, the data entered by him in the input mask will be transmitted to the Fundraising Box company and saved:

    • Projekt
    • Amount
    • Rhythm
    • Salutation
    • Title
    • First name
    • Surname
    • Company (can be selected voluntarily via a link if required)

The legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The data will only be used to process the request and the subsequent communication. In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The personal data from the input mask of the contact form will be deleted when the sponsorship ends. The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.

Data security and encryption

Whenever you are asked to enter personal data about yourself, your data will be protected for data transmission over the Internet with the help of SSL encryption (German “safe base layer”) so that it cannot be read by unauthorized persons.

Cookies

In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, to display suitable content or for market research, we use so-called cookies on various pages, provided that you have given your consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Cookies are small text files that are automatically saved on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted again at the end of the browser session, i.e. after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit (persistent cookies). You can see the duration of the storage in the overview in the cookie settings of your web browser. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and individually decide whether to accept them or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. If you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be restricted. Each browser differs in the way it manages cookie settings. This is described in the help menu of every browser, which explains how you can change your cookie settings.

You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish by customising your browser’s settings – for details, see allaboutcookies.org or aboutcookies.org or whatarecookies.com. You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some services and functions may not work. Please note that disabling a cookie or category of cookies does not delete the cookie from your browser unless it is manually deleted through your browser function.

Web analysis and Google Analytics

Our websites use Google Analytics, a software for the statistical analysis of user access from Google Inc. With the web analysis we aim to improve the quality of our websites and their content. Google Analytics uses cookies (see above), which enable the use of our website to be analyzed. In this context, data processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Responsibilities for content and information

The information offered by Back to life contains cross-references to other websites, e.g. B. from cooperation partners. When the link was set, the external (foreign) content was checked to determine whether it violated applicable standards under civil or criminal law. However, it cannot be ruled out that this content may be changed afterwards by the respective providers. If you are of the opinion that linked external sites violate applicable law or have otherwise inappropriate content, please let us know. We will check your information and, if necessary, remove the external link immediately. In this respect, the AOK is not responsible for the content and availability of the linked external websites.

E-Mail Newsletter

If you subscribe to our company’s newsletter, the data in the respective input mask will be transmitted to the controller. The registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in process. I.e. after registration you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can log in with foreign e-mail addresses. When registering for the newsletter, the user’s IP address and the date and time of registration are stored. This serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address of the data subject. The data will not be passed on to third parties. An exception exists if there is a legal obligation to disclose. The data will only be used to send the newsletter. The subscription to the newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. Likewise, consent to the storage of personal data can be revoked at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in each newsletter. The legal basis for the processing of data after registration for the newsletter by the user is, if the user has given his consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is § 7 para. 3 UWG.

Use of rapidmail

Description and purpose: We use rapidmail for sending newsletters. The provider is rapidmail GmbH, Wentzingerstraße, 21, 79106 Freiburg, Germany. Among other things, rapidmail is used to organize and analyze the dispatch of newsletters. The data entered by you for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored on the servers of rapidmail in Germany. If you do not want any analysis by rapidmail, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. Furthermore, you can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website. For the purpose of analysis, the e-mails sent with rapidmail contain a so-called tracking pixel, which connects to the servers of rapidmail when the e-mail is opened. In this way, it is possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened. Furthermore, with the help of rapidmail we can determine whether and which links are clicked on in the newsletter message. All links in the e-mail are so-called tracking links that can be used to count your clicks. Depending on which font is used to design the respective newsletter, a connection to external servers such as Google Fonts takes place. Legal basis: The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. Recipient: The recipient of the data is rapidmail GmbH. Transmission to third countries: A transfer of data to third countries does not take place. Duration: The data stored by us within the scope of your consent for the purpose of the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers as well as from the servers of rapidmail after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the member area) remain unaffected by this. Revocation option: You have the option to revoke your consent to data processing with effect for the future at any time. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation. Further data protection information: For more details, please refer to rapidmail’s data security notices at: https://www.rapidmail.de/datensicherheit.
