(3) You have the right to obtain, upon request and free of charge, information about which data concerning you is stored and for what purpose. In addition, you have the right to have incorrect data corrected and to have data blocked and deleted, insofar as storage is inadmissible or no longer necessary. If you have questions or requests regarding your data, please send us a message.

§ 3 Collection of personal data when visiting our website

(1) If you use the website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. When you view our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security (legal basis: Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR):

• IP address (anonymised by truncating the last part after 24 hours at the latest)
• date and time of the request
• time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
• content of the request (specific page)
• access status/HTTP status code
• amount of data transferred in each case
• website from which the request comes
• browser
• operating system and its interface
• language and version of the browser software.

This data is stored in a log file on the server of our provider Strato AG, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin, Germany. The log files are deleted automatically after 7 days.

(2) This website does not use cookies and does not store any data on your device (including HTML5 storage objects). Your user behaviour is not analysed; no analysis or tracking services are used.

(3) Fonts, images and videos are loaded exclusively from our own server. Therefore, no data is transmitted to third parties such as Google, YouTube or social networks when you visit our website.

§ 4 Further functions and offers of our website

(1) In addition to the purely informational use of our website, we offer various services that you can use if you are interested. For this, you usually have to provide further personal data, which we use to provide the respective service and to which the aforementioned data processing principles apply.

(2) In some cases, we use external service providers to process your data. They have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions and are checked regularly.

(3) If our service providers or partners are based in a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will inform you of the consequences of this in the description of the service.

§ 5 Objection to or withdrawal of the processing of your data

(1) If you have given consent to the processing of your data, you can withdraw it at any time. Such a withdrawal affects the permissibility of the processing of your personal data after you have declared it to us.

(2) Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on a balancing of interests, you can object to the processing. This is the case if the processing is not necessary, in particular, for the performance of a contract with you, which we describe in each case in the following description of the functions. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we do. In the event of a justified objection, we will examine the situation and either stop or adjust the data processing or show you our compelling legitimate grounds on the basis of which we continue the processing.

(3) You can, of course, object to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes at any time. You can inform us of your objection using the following contact details: CDU KV Neumünster, Großflecken 54, 24534 Neumünster, Germany, hauke.hansen@cdu-nms.de.

§ 6 Links to social networks

(1) On our website, we refer to our presences on Facebook and Instagram using simple links. These are not embedded plug-ins: merely visiting our website does not transmit any data to the operators of these networks.

(2) Only when you click on such a link is the page of the respective network opened in a new window. From this point on, the privacy policy of the operator applies, over whose data processing we have no influence. The operator of Facebook and Instagram is Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland; privacy information: facebook.com/privacy/policy (opens in a new window).

§ 7 Videos

The videos on our website (source: Offener Kanal Kiel) are stored on our own server and are only retrieved when you click “Video abspielen” (play video). Only the data mentioned in § 3 is processed. Video platforms such as YouTube are not used.

§ 8 Links to other websites and providers

Our website contains links to other websites. We have no influence on whether their operators comply with data protection regulations.

As a provider, we are responsible for our own content in accordance with the general laws. These own contents must be distinguished from links to content provided by other providers. We accept no responsibility for third-party content that is made available for use via links and is specially marked, and we do not adopt it as our own. Only the provider of the website referred to is liable for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and for damage resulting from the use or non-use of the information.

§ 9 Copyright

Text, images, graphics, sound, animations and videos as well as their arrangement on our website are protected by copyright and other protective laws. Use is generally only permitted for private personal purposes. Any use beyond this is not permitted unless expressly stated otherwise. Please note that some works contained on the website are subject to the copyright of third parties. As a rule, we cannot grant a licence to use these works. Our logo and domain name enjoy protection under the law of names.

Anyone who infringes copyright, trademark or name rights must expect the rights holder to assert claims for injunctive relief and damages and, in the case of copyright and trademark infringements, also criminal prosecution.

§ 10 Responsibility / liability

(1) We compile all information and components of the website to the best of our knowledge and belief. No liability or guarantee can be accepted for the topicality, correctness and completeness of the information provided. Nor are we liable for any damage caused by computer viruses when accessing or downloading data. We cannot guarantee the availability of the website or of the functions provided on it or parts thereof.

(2) Insofar as damage claimed due to incorrect contributions is not already excluded from liability under other provisions of these terms of use, it is limited in amount to the damage.

§ 11 Technical and organisational security

In accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, we use technical and organisational security measures to protect the data we manage against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. We assure you that these measures are reviewed regularly (among others by our external data protection officer).

If you send us an email, you must generally expect that the content of the email and its attachments may be viewed, altered or deleted by unauthorised persons. To avoid this risk, you can also send us a message to the contact details given in the legal notice.

§ 12 Validity of the privacy policy

This privacy policy is to be regarded as part of our website. Should parts or individual wordings of this text not, no longer or not completely comply with the applicable legal situation, the remaining parts of the document shall remain unaffected in their content and validity.
