Where processing is based on your consent or on a contract and carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive the personal data you have provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to request that it be transmitted to another controller.

Right to Object

Right to Object on Grounds Relating to Your Particular Situation (Art. 21(1) GDPR)

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data based on Article 6(1)(e) or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Right to Object to Direct Marketing (Art. 21(2) GDPR)

Where your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to such processing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to direct marketing.

If you object, your personal data will no longer be processed for direct marketing purposes.

Withdrawal of Consent (Art. 7(3) GDPR)

Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time with effect for the future. The withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal. You may withdraw your consent using the methods described under „Exercising Your Rights“ below or as explained in Section 5 and in our Cookie Centre.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of the rights listed above, please contact us at info@kinderkrebsstiftung.de or by post using the address provided in Section 1. Please ensure that we are able to clearly identify you.

Right to Lodge a Complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory data protection authority, particularly in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates applicable data protection laws.

4. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

We do not carry out automated individual decision-making, including profiling, within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR in connection with the use of our services.

5. Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps mapping service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

To use the Google Maps features, your IP address must be processed. This information is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States. We have no control over this data transfer.

When Google Maps is activated, Google may load Google Web Fonts to ensure a consistent display of fonts. Your browser downloads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display text and fonts correctly.

The use of Google Maps is based on our legitimate interest in providing an attractive presentation of our online services and making the locations specified on our website easy to find (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Where your consent has been obtained, processing is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with Section 25(1) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG), insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g. device fingerprinting). You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect.

Data transfers to the United States are based on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
