When using this offer, the data sent by your browser to the server is collected and stored. In general, this includes information about the type and the version of your browser, the operating system you use, the referrer URL (the website where you began your navigation to our website) as well as the time of the server request. This data cannot be linked to specific persons. We will carry out a statistical evaluation of the data. We process your IP address while the connection is established to enable us to make our website available to you. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the aforementioned purpose.
Wikimedia Deutschland collects and processes a range of personal data about their donors, including the donated amount, the address, telephone number, any donation comments and an email address. Tax legislation regulations oblige us to keep records of contact details and donation amounts. In addition, we also collect your bank details if you pay by bank transfer or direct debit.
We will not publish, sell or let personal data or offer in them in any other way unless the donor has authorised us to do so, for example for publication in the donation ticker, or if this is necessary and allowed in line with the applicable legal requirements. If a donor has not expressly allowed the publication of their donor data, the data will be treated as confidential in line with the provisions of privacy legislation. Donor contact details are primarily used for the following purposes:
The applicable legal basis is Art. 6 para 1 lit. b) GDPR. The legal basis for the legally required retention of the donation documents is Art. 6 para 1 lit. c) GDPR.
If you write a donation comment and send it to us under your own name, we process the comment and your name in order to potentially take your opinion and your comments into consideration in the future. If you additionally agree to the publication of the comment, we will publish your comment on Wikimedia channels. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future, for example by sending an email to spenden@wikimedia.de. Up to that point, your personal data will be processed and immediately deleted afterwards. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para 1 lit. a) GDPR.
If you have sent us a donation and have not objected in advance, we will add your contact details to our calls for donations newsletter. In this case, we will use your email address to send you information about our latest calls for donations. The legal basis for processing your data is (Art. 6 para 1 lit. f) GDPR), and our legitimate interest is to inform you about the use of your donation, about new funding campaigns, and to ask you for a donation. Irrespective of sending us a donation, you can also register for our call for donations newsletter. In that case, we use your e-mail address to send you information about our latest calls for donations. The legal basis for processing your data in such a way is your consent (Art. 6 para 1, lit. a) GDPR).
If you already sent us a donation in the past, we will use your personal data stored in connection with your previous donations (particularly your first name, surname, e-mail address, street and street number, postcode, city, country, form of address, and title) in order to personalize the newsletter addressed to you, for example by referring to previous donations. And finally, we analyze your use of our newsletter, e.g. by checking which link or banner you clicked. We do this in order to analyze how our calls for donations are received and – if applicable – how we may improve them in future.
Processing data for this purpose is based on Art. 6 para1 lit.) GDPR, and our legitimate interest lies in the aforementioned purposes.
Revoking and objecting: You can revoke your consent with future effect at any time or declare your objection to receiving calls for donations, e.g. by sending an e-mail to spenden@wikimedia.de or by clicking an unsubscribe link in one of the emails sent to you. Revoking or objecting does not affect the legality of processing data in the past. If you do not consent to the analysis, you can object at any time by cancelling the e-mails.
Every once in a while, we promote a donations campaign by post and use the address data stated in your donation for this purpose. You can contest receiving postal mail at any time, either by sending an email to spenden@wikimedia.de or via the contact form. Immediately after receipt of your objection, your address will be removed from our mailing list. The basis for sending calls for donations by post is our legitimate interest in telling our donors about our current calls for donations in line with Art. 6 para 1 lit. f) GDPR. We use your address data to send calls for donations by post until you object, but at the most for a period of 3 years, starting with the end of the year when you made your last donation. Subsequently, the data is deleted if no other processing purposes require further storage of the data.
In order to fulfil our tasks (sending donation receipts and information), we work with external contractors who potentially process personal data for these purposes. These service providers are bound to Wikimedia Deutschland by contract and can only use personal data they receive in this context for the respective agreed purpose.
In addition, we work with payment service providers (PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. and the Sofort GmbH). We transfer the data necessary for the payment to these service providers. All remaining processing of the payment takes place on the platforms of the service providers without us having any knowledge of or influence on any data processing taking place on these platforms. For credit card payments, we work with the payment service provider Micropayment. Please find more information about the processing of your data with our payment service providers below:
Any processing of data necessary for the cooperation with these service providers is justified on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest in this context is to offer you payment options that are as convenient as possible.
Furthermore, a data transfer to third countries is not taking place.
Our log files are stored for 30 days.
We store the data necessary for the donation for a period of 10 years from the end of the year of your final donation.
If you gave us your consent to send you emails or did not object to receiving our donations newsletter, we will always process and store your data until you revoke your consent or object to their use. If we send you our donations newsletter based on our legitimate interest, we will process your data for this purpose, but at the most for a period of 3 years, starting with the end of the year when you made your last donation.

Art. 16 GDPR – Right to rectification: You have the right to request the immediate correction of incorrect personal data relating to you. In this context, you also have the right to demand the completion of incomplete personal data – also by means of an additional declaration – in consideration of the purposes of processing the data.

Art. 21 GDPR – Right to object: You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you that is necessary either due to a legitimate interest on our part or to safeguard the performance of a task that is in the public interest, or in exercising public authority.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can provide evidence of compelling legitimate grounds for processing your data, which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Insofar as we process personal data for direct mailings, you have the right to object against the processing of your data at any time. If you object to the processing for the purpose of direct mailings, we will no longer process your data for these purposes.

If you have given us your consent, you have the right to revoke it at any time. In that case, all data processing we have carried out until your revocation remains legitimate. In order to revoke your consent, just click on the link you receive with each email and unsubscribe from the email service, change the settings in your user account or send a message to datenschutz@wikimedia.de. If you notify us in this message that you do not wish to receive emails in the future, no more messages will be sent to the email address indicated by you.
Under no circumstances are you legally or contractually obliged to make personal data available to us. However, without making your personal data available to us, we are not in a position to offer you our services.
We do not make use of automated decision-making that may have legal implications for you or disadvantage you.
