Privacy Information for Donors

1. Purpose of Data Processing

We process personal data of donors for the following purposes:

  • Processing and booking donations

  • Issuing donation receipts (Zuwendungsbestätigungen)

  • Communication related to donations

  • Informing donors about the use of donations

  • Compliance with tax and legal obligations

Legal basis:

  • Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR – performance of a donation relationship

  • Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR – legal obligations

  • Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – legitimate interests (donor communication)

  • Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR – consent, where applicable

Without providing required personal data, we may not be able to process your donation.

2. Data Recipients

Your data may be shared with:

  • Payment service providers (e.g. Stripe)

  • IT and hosting service providers (acting as processors)

  • Tax authorities and public bodies where legally required

All processors are carefully selected and contractually bound to comply with GDPR.

3. Data Retention

Donation-related data is stored in accordance with statutory retention periods under German tax and commercial law. After expiry of these obligations, data is deleted unless further consent exists.

4. Profiling & Automated Decisions

ZA Aktiv e.V. does not use automated decision-making.
Basic profiling (e.g. grouping donors by donation frequency) may be used for donor communication. You may object at any time.

5. Donor Rights

Donors have the same rights as described in the Website Privacy Policy, including the right to object to data processing for direct communication purposes at any time.
