The terms used are not gender-specific. Status: 19 April 2025 ## Responsible person Felix Hahn\ Seeblick 14\ D-82237 Wörthsee E-mail address: [info@onefamily.social](mailto:info@onefamily.social) ## Overview of the processing The following overview summarises the types of data processed and the purposes of their processing and refers to the data subjects. ### Types of data processed - Inventory data. - Contact data. - Content data. - Contract data. - Usage data. - Meta, communication and process data. - Event data. - Log data. - Member data. ### Categories of data subjects - Communication partner. - Users. - Members. ### Purposes of the processing - Provision of contractual services and fulfilment of contractual obligations. - Communication. - Security measures. - Range measurement. - Tracking. - Target group formation. - Organisational and administrative procedures. - Feedback. - Marketing. - Profiles with user-related information. - Provision of our online services and user-friendliness. - Information technology infrastructure. ## Relevant legal bases **Relevant legal bases under the GDPR:** Below you will find an overview of the legal bases of the GDPR on the basis of which we process personal data. Please note that in addition to the provisions of the GDPR, national data protection regulations may apply in your or our country of residence or domicile. Should more specific legal bases also apply in individual cases, we will inform you of these in the privacy policy. - Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR)\*\* - The data subject has given their consent to the processing of their personal data for a specific purpose or several specific purposes. - Contract fulfilment and pre-contractual enquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR)\*\* - Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract. - Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR)\*\* - processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. - Membership contract (articles of association) (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR). **National data protection regulations in Germany:** In addition to the data protection regulations of the GDPR, national data protection regulations apply in Germany. These include, in particular, the Act on the Protection against Misuse of Personal Data in Data Processing (Federal Data Protection Act - BDSG). In particular, the BDSG contains special regulations on the right to information, the right to erasure, the right to object, the processing of special categories of personal data, processing for other purposes and transmission as well as automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling. The data protection laws of the individual federal states may also apply. **Note on the validity of the GDPR and Swiss FADP:** This data protection notice serves to provide information in accordance with both the Swiss FADP and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For this reason, please note that the terms of the GDPR are used due to the broader geographical application and comprehensibility. In particular, instead of the terms "processing" of "personal data", "overriding interest" and "sensitive personal data" used in the Swiss DPA, the terms "processing" of "personal data" as well as "legitimate interest" and "special categories of data" used in the GDPR are used. However, the legal meaning of the terms will continue to be determined in accordance with the Swiss DPA within the scope of application of the Swiss DPA. ## Security measures We take appropriate technical and organisational measures in accordance with the legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and the extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, in order to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk. The measures include, in particular, safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as access, input, disclosure, safeguarding availability and separation of the data. Furthermore, we have established procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, the deletion of data and responses to data threats. Furthermore, we already take the protection of personal data into account during the development and selection of hardware, software and processes in accordance with the principle of data protection, through technology design and data protection-friendly default settings. ## International data transfers Data processing in third countries: If we transfer data to a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this occurs in the context of the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transfer of data to other persons, bodies or companies (which can be recognised by the postal address of the respective provider or if the data protection declaration expressly refers to the transfer of data to third countries), this is always done in accordance with the legal requirements. For data transfers to the USA, we rely primarily on the Data Privacy Framework (DPF), which was recognised as a secure legal framework by an adequacy decision of the EU Commission on 10 July 2023. In addition, we have concluded standard contractual clauses with the respective providers that comply with the requirements of the EU Commission and define contractual obligations to protect your data. This dual protection guarantees comprehensive protection of your data: The DPF forms the primary level of protection, while the standard contractual clauses serve as additional security. Should there be any changes to the DPF, the standard contractual clauses act as a reliable fall-back option. In this way, we ensure that your data always remains adequately protected, even in the event of any political or legal changes. For the individual service providers, we will inform you whether they are certified in accordance with the DPF and whether standard contractual clauses are in place. Further information on the DPF and a list of certified companies can be found on the website of the US Department of Commerce at [https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/](https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/). For data transfers to other third countries, appropriate security measures apply, in particular standard contractual clauses, explicit consent or legally required transfers. Information on third country transfers and applicable adequacy decisions can be found in the information provided by the EU Commission: [https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_en?prefLang=de.](https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_en?prefLang=de.) ## General information on data storage and erasure We delete personal data that we process in accordance with the statutory provisions as soon as the underlying consents are revoked or there is no further legal basis for the processing. This applies to cases in which the original purpose of processing no longer applies or the data is no longer required. Exceptions to this rule exist if legal obligations or special interests require longer storage or archiving of the data. In particular, data that must be stored for commercial or tax law reasons or whose storage is necessary for legal prosecution or to protect the rights of other natural or legal persons must be archived accordingly. Our data protection information contains additional information on the retention and deletion of data that applies specifically to certain processing operations. If there is more than one information on the retention period or deletion period of a date, the longest period is always decisive. If a period does not expressly begin on a specific date and is at least one year, it automatically starts at the end of the calendar year in which the event triggering the period occurred. In the case of ongoing contractual relationships in the context of which data is stored, the event triggering the deadline is the date on which the cancellation or other termination of the legal relationship takes effect. We only process data that is no longer stored for the originally intended purpose, but due to legal requirements or other reasons, for the reasons that justify its storage. **Further information on processing processes, procedures and services:** - Retention and deletion of data:\*\* The following general periods apply to retention and archiving in accordance with German law: - 10 years - retention period for books and records, annual financial statements, inventories, management reports, opening balance sheet and the work instructions and other organisational documents required to understand them (Section 147 (1) no. 1 in conjunction with.

Data whose further storage is required for evidentiary purposes is excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified. ## Use of cookies The term "cookies" refers to functions that store information on users' end devices and read it from them. Cookies can also be used for various purposes, such as the functionality, security and convenience of online offers and the creation of analyses of visitor flows. We use cookies in accordance with the statutory provisions. If necessary, we obtain the user's consent in advance. If consent is not required, we rely on our legitimate interests. This applies if the storage and reading of information is essential in order to be able to provide expressly requested content and functions. This includes, for example, saving settings and ensuring the functionality and security of our online offering. Consent can be revoked at any time. We provide clear information about the scope and which cookies are used. **Information on the legal basis for data protection:** Whether we process personal data using cookies depends on consent. If consent has been given, it serves as the legal basis.
