Data Protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.
Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

The party responsible for data processing on this website is:
Rett Deutschland e.V.

Gaswerkstraße 13
52525 Heinsberg
Germany
Phone: +49 2452-180 99 90
E-mail: vorstand@rett.de
The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).
Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke any consent already given at any time. An informal notification by e-mail is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either for yourself or for a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser’s address line from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, Restriction, Deletion, and Correction
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction, restriction, or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time using the address provided in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually require time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balancing of interests between your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may – apart from storage – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
Objection to Advertising E-mails
The use of contact data published within the framework of the legal notice obligation for the sending of unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information, such as spam e-mails.

4. Data Collection on Our Website
Cookies
Some of the web pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser during your next visit.
You can configure your browser to notify you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process or for providing certain functions desired by you (e.g. shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Other cookies (e.g. cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are treated separately in this privacy policy.
Server Log Files
The provider of the website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.
Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass this data on without your consent.
The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time. An informal notification by e-mail is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing operations carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.
The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.
Registration on This Website
You can register on our website to use additional features on the site. We use the data entered only for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided completely. Otherwise, we will reject the registration.
For important changes, such as changes in the scope of services or technically necessary changes, we use the e-mail address provided during registration to inform you accordingly.
The processing of the data entered during registration is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may revoke any consent you have given at any time. An informal notification by e-mail is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data collected during registration will be stored by us as long as you are registered on our website and will subsequently be deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
