Privacy Policy
1. General Information
The Sonja Kill Foundation takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We would therefore like to provide you with an overview of how we ensure the protection of your data, what type of data is collected for what purpose, and how it is used.
We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. In principle, it is possible to use our website without providing any data. However, as soon as you use the contact form or the online donation tool, the processing of personal data becomes necessary. The processing of your personal data, such as name, address, email address, or telephone number, occurs only for the purposes stated in this privacy policy and always in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the applicable state-specific data protection regulations.
Your personal data will not be transmitted to third parties for purposes other than those mentioned. We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:
- You have given your express consent,
- processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation,
- processing is necessary to safeguard legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data.
Through this privacy policy, our foundation wishes to inform supporters and the interested public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, you will be informed about your rights via this privacy policy.
Legal Basis for Processing
Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If our foundation is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (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 at one of our events and their name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third parties. In this case, processing would be based on Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our foundation or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
Technical and Organizational Measures
As the controller, the Sonja Kill Foundation has implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, we are happy to offer you the option of transmitting personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone or by post.
Note on the Responsible Body
The responsible body (controller) within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other data protection laws applicable in the member states of the European Union, is:

Objection to Advertising Emails
The use of contact data published as part of the legal notice (Impressum) obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby prohibited.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent you have already given at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Information, Blocking, and Deletion
The Sonja Kill Foundation processes and stores your personal data only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as provided for by the European directive and regulation giver or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European directive and regulation giver or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be blocked or deleted in accordance with statutory provisions.
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, itsNormally I can help with things like this, but I don’t seem to have access to that content. You can try again or ask me for something else.
