privacy

The Familienhörbuch gGmbH takes 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 data protection information.

The use of our website is usually possible without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail addresses) are collected on these pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will never be passed on to third parties without your express consent. We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

Server log files

Our provider (dogado GmbH) automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to them. These are:

  • Customer domain
  • Anonymized client IP
  • Timestamp
  • Request line
  • Status code
  • Size of Response Bodies
  • Referrer sent by the client
  • User Agent sent by the client
  • Remote user


These data are not to be arranged for specific persons. This data is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of concrete indications of illegal use.

This data is collected and processed in order to guarantee the proper functioning of the website and thus constitutes the legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f).

Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your information from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Use of social media buttons

On our website, we want to avoid a comprehensive recording and evaluation of your visit by providers of social networks / sharing functions in social networks. For this purpose, we replace the usual buttons of the social networks and thereby protect your usage behavior. The buttons of the social networks listed below are only integrated into our website as graphics. The graphic contains a link to the corresponding social network.
On our website we integrate the following social networks via link:
Facebook (Facebook, Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA)
Instagram (Instagram LLC, represented by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, 1601 Willow Rd, Menlo Park CA 94025, USA)
YouTube (YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA)
The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the providers on their pages as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for the protection of your privacy can be found in the data protection information of the providers.

(Google's privacy policy applies equally to YouTube)

newsletters

We use the list provider MailChimp for our newsletter. MailChimp is an offering of The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 512 Means Street, Ste 404 Atlanta, GA 30318.
MailChimp offers extensive analysis of how our emails are opened and used. Further information on MailChimp and data protection at MailChimp can be found here.

You can revoke your consent to the use of your e-mail address in Mailchimp at any time. The revocation can be made via a link in the e-mails themselves.

In addition, you have a right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR), i.e. you receive from us data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format.
