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 legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data refers to data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and why this happens.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the Responsible Body

The responsible body for data processing on this website is:

Youth Power
Email: info@youth-power.org

The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who, alone or in conjunction with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent that you’ve already given at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

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 Sect. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your specific situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. Please refer to this privacy policy to find out the respective legal basis on which processing is based. 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 is for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR).

If your personal data are processed for direct advertising purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection under Art. 21 Sect. 2 GDPR).

Right to Complain to the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the case of violations of the GDPR, those affected have a right of complaint to a supervisory authority, especially in the member state of their usual place of residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. The right of complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to yourself or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done as far as it is technically feasible.

Information, Blocking, Deletion, and Correction

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin, and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if necessary, a right to correct, block, or delete this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the topic of personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this, you can contact us at the address given in the imprint at any time. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

  • – If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

  • – If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

    – If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

  • – If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • – If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may – apart from its storage – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

Objection to Promotional Emails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example through spam emails.

Cookies

Our website sometimes uses so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our offer more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of this website. Cookies that are required for the electronic communication process or for the provision of certain functions you desire (e.g., shopping cart function) are saved based on Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, they are addressed separately in this privacy policy.

Inquiries via email, phone, or fax

If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your query. We will not share this information without your consent. The processing of these data is based on Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in effectively processing inquiries addressed to us.

The data you send us via contact requests remains with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for data storage is no longer applicable (e.g., after processing your request has been completed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular, statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Changes/Updates

We reserve the right to change the privacy policy in order to adapt it to changed legal situations, or in the event of changes to the service and data processing. However, this only applies to declarations on data processing. If user consents are necessary or parts of the privacy policy contain provisions of the contractual relationship with the users, changes will only be made with the consent of the users. Users are asked to regularly inform themselves about the content of the privacy policy.
