We take the protection of your personal data seriously and comply with applicable data protection laws. It is important to us that you always know which personal data is collected when you visit our website and use our services, and how we process it.

Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. The following policy informs you about the collection and processing of your data on our website.

 

Data Protection Responsible Entity

The entity responsible for data protection is the one listed in the Legal Notice.

The Data Protection Officer of the Educational Foundation of the Archdiocese of Freiburg can be reached at:

Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data

If we obtain the data subject’s consent for processing personal data, Section 6(1)(b) KDG serves as the legal basis for processing.

For processing personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Section 6(1)(c) KDG applies. This also includes processing operations required for pre-contractual actions.

If processing personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the responsible entity is subject, Section 6(1)(d) KDG applies.

If processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Section 6(1)(e) KDG serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of the responsible entity or a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Section 6(1)(g) KDG applies.

​

Data Deletion and Storage Duration

The personal data of the data subject is deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases.

Further storage may occur if required by church, European, or national legislation in applicable regulations, laws, or other provisions. Blocking or deletion of data also occurs when a legally required storage period expires unless continued storage is necessary for contract fulfillment or legal obligations.

• Right to access

Additionally, you have the right to file a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Sections 42 ff. KDG) if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection laws.
