Privacy Policy

Preamble: Our Approach to Privacy and Trust

Dear friends and supporters,

At Nicaragua-Projekt e.V., we care not only about supporting the people of Nicaragua — but also about handling your data responsibly.

We deliberately refrain from tracking, analytics tools, or advertising cookies. Your support should come from conviction, not from data profiles.

In this privacy policy we inform you transparently about which data we collect, why we do so, and how we protect it.

Thank you for your trust — we treat your data with the utmost care.

Data Controller

Nicaragua-Projekt e.V.

Represented by: Katrin Hennings
E-mail: Nicaragua-Projekt@gmx.org

Purpose of Data Processing

We process personal data exclusively in order to:

  • Issue donation receipts
  • Fulfil statutory retention obligations

No further use takes place.

Types of Data Processed

We only process data that you voluntarily provide to us, in particular:

  • Name
  • Address
  • Contact details where applicable (e-mail, phone number)

We use no cookies for analytics or marketing purposes.

Server Log Files

When you visit our website, our hosting provider automatically collects technical data, including:

  • IP address
  • Date and time of access
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Pages accessed

Purpose: This data is necessary to provide the website technically, to ensure the security and stability of the system, and to defend against attacks (e.g. DDoS).

Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in a secure and functional website)

No merging with other data takes place. The data is stored only for as long as is required for operation.

Hosting and Security Service Provider (Cloudflare)

Our website is hosted by Cloudflare Germany GmbH, Rosental 7, 80331 Munich. Cloudflare serves to secure and optimise the performance of the website.

The following data may be processed: IP address, browser and device information, and security-relevant data (e.g. for detecting malicious access).

Cloudflare is a US company. It therefore cannot be ruled out that data may be transferred to the USA. Cloudflare uses standard contractual clauses pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR to ensure an adequate level of data protection. A data processing agreement is in place.

Legal Bases for Processing

  • Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent)
  • Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR (legal obligation, e.g. statutory retention periods for tax purposes)
  • Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in secure website operation)

Disclosure of Data

Data is only passed on to third parties if this is required by law (e.g. tax authorities) or if you have expressly consented. No disclosure for advertising or analytics purposes takes place.

Retention Period

We store personal data only for as long as is necessary: for issuing donation receipts and for compliance with statutory retention periods (e.g. 10 years under the German Fiscal Code). Afterwards the data is deleted.

Your Rights

You have the right at any time to access, rectification, erasure (unless statutory obligations preclude this), restriction of processing, withdrawal of any consent given, objection to processing, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Competent supervisory authority: State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen, Arndtstraße 1, 27570 Bremerhaven

To exercise your rights, an informal message to Nicaragua-Projekt@gmx.org is sufficient.

Data Security

Your data is transmitted in encrypted form (SSL/TLS). Nevertheless, complete security of data transmission over the internet cannot be guaranteed.
