IV.    Purposes and legal bases as well as duration of data processing

1. Data processing on this Website

Draussenstadt automatically collects and stores on its server log files with information transmitted to it by your browser. These include:

- browser type and version
- operating system used
- referrer URL (the site previously visited)
- host name of the accessing computer (IP address)
- time of server request

These data cannot be traced back to individuals by Draussenstadt. Insofar as connection IP address is recorded, this is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Our legitimate interest is to offer you our website for retrieval and to enable you to use the site, as well as to be able to track unauthorized access attempts and illegal use of the website or portal. We store our log files for 1 year.

2. Registering an event on the event calendar

On the DRAUSSENSTADT patform, you can register an event to be publicised in the event calendar using a form.

a) Filling out the registration form for events to be publicised in the event calendar
On this website, we provide you with the opportunity to publicise your event in the DRAUSSENSTADT platform’s event calendar.
For this we require the following data from you, which you can enter into our online form:
-    First and second name
-    E-mail address
-    Telephone number
-    Details on prior support as part of the DRAUSSENSTADT initiative
-    IP address

Your entries in the form for registering your event will initially be saved in a local file on your end device.
We will not register this data at this time.

b) Sending the form
Our collection of your data begins the moment you click on “Send” at the end of the form. In doing so, you provide us with the previously entered data. You will receive a confirmation e-mail from us to the e-mail address provided, as well as a pdf summary of your event listing.

c) Checking your event listing and publication
Finally, we check your event listing to ensure whether it meets the form and content requirements for publication on the DRAUSSENSTADT platform. If necessary, our editorial team will contact you to check and/or fine tune details on your event. Provided that the event entry meets the criteria of the editorial review, all event organisers will be informed by e-mail about the publication.

d) Legal framework and storage period
Processing of this data is carried out in line with Art. 6.1.e of the GDPR law, as all processing is required to enable the creation and publication of the event entry.

e) Other recipients
The aforementioned steps, inclusive of the publication of the event entry, are carried out by our processor, Kulturprojekte Berlin GmbH Klosterstraße 68, 10179 Berlin-Mitte. Additionally, we use other service providers bound by instructions where necessary if we cannot provide services in whole or adequately ourselves. Examples include website hosting and sending of e-mails.

3.  Newsletter

We provide you with the chance to subscribe to an e-mail newsletter. For this we store your e-mail address. In addition, we analyse our newsletter service by collecting certain usage data. The processing of data for sending newsletters is based on Art. 6.1.a. of the GDPR law. The analysis of usage data is based on Art. 6.1.f. of the GDPR law. Our legitimate interest is in the optimisation of our newsletter provision. We will store the data processed for the e-mail newsletter until you withdraw your consent. The usage data analysed will be saved for a year at most.

4. Contact

We offer you the possibility to contact us, for example via our e-mail address as well as by telephone. In the case of an e-mail, you inform us in any case of your e-mail address and, if applicable, your name, a subject and the content of your request. We process this data in order to be able to answer your inquiry. This purpose is also our legitimate interest in data processing (Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO). The processing may also take place in order to fulfill a contract with you. In this case, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. We generally store your inquiry as long as it is necessary for the purpose of your inquiry, unless legal provisions prevent deletion, in particular if further storage is required for the purpose of evidence or to comply with legal retention periods pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO. If the request is made in the context of an existing or prospective contractual relationship with us, the storage period depends on the underlying contractual relationship.

V.    Duration of storage

Unless a storage period is explicitly mentioned elsewhere in this privacy policy, we will process your data until it is no longer required for the processing purpose. In addition, we may store your data for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or to comply with statutory retention periods. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) DSGVO in conjunction with. §§ 147 and 257 AO as well as Art. 17 para. 3 DSGVO. We delete your data as soon as we no longer need your data for this purpose.

Internally, your data will be processed by the employees who are responsible for the respective matter concerning you. We also use external service providers to the extent that we cannot or cannot reasonably perform services ourselves. These external service providers are primarily providers of IT services, such as our hoster, e-mail provider or telecommunications provider.
