Payments via PayPal
We offer you the possibility to send donations to us via PayPal. We use the data you provide as part of the payment. We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary for payments. If you decide to make a donation via PayPal, personal data will be automatically sent to PayPal. PayPal is an offer from PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg.
PayPal possesses the function of an online payment service provider and a trustee and offers buyer protection services. The personal data transmitted to PayPal is usually first name, last name, address, e-mail address, IP address or other data required for payment processing. To process the payment, personal data related to the donation (e.g. the amount of the donation) is also transmitted. The transmission of your data is necessary for payment processing via PayPal and is intended to confirm your identity and to administer your payment order.
PayPal may pass on your personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors insofar as this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or the data is processed on behalf of the customer. The personal data we transmit to PayPal may be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies.
The purpose of this transmission is to check identity and creditworthiness. PayPal uses the result of the credit check, taking into account the statistical probability of payment default, for the purpose of deciding whether to provide the respective payment method. The credit report can contain probability values (so-called score values). As far as score values are included in the result of the credit report, they have their own basis in a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical process.
You can see which credit agencies are involved here: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full
You have the option to revoke your consent to PayPal processing your personal data at any time. However, the revocation of the consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the revocation, insofar as the personal data must be processed, used or transmitted for contractual payment processing. You can access PayPal's privacy policy at https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

Social media
It is currently not legally clarified whether or to what extent social media offer their services in accordance with European data protection regulations. We therefore draw your attention to the fact that the services we use, such as Facebook, store the data of their users in accordance with their own data usage guidelines and use it for business purposes. We have no influence on data collection and further use by social networks. There is no knowledge of the extent to which, where and for how long data is stored, whether social networks meet their deletion obligations, whether evaluations or links of the data occur and to whom the data is transmitted. Otherwise, the terms and conditions and the following data processing guidelines of the respective operator apply when accessing these profiles:
