We collect and use personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users regularly takes place only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and where the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.

This data is not merged with other data sources. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of our website. Server log files are typically deleted after 7–30 days.

Essential cookies do not require your consent pursuant to § 25 (2) TDDDG, as they are strictly necessary for the transmission of information or to provide the service you have requested.
At this time, this website does not set any analytics, marketing or tracking cookies. If we introduce such cookies in the future, your prior explicit consent will be obtained via the cookie consent banner in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG.

If you contact us via the contact form on our website or by email, the information you provide – including your name, email address, and the content of your message – will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case of follow-up questions.
The legal basis for processing data submitted via the contact form is Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR (processing in connection with pre-contractual or contractual communication) and/or Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry).
We will not share this data with third parties without your consent. The data will be deleted once your enquiry has been fully resolved, unless statutory retention obligations require longer storage.

This website uses fonts provided by Google Fonts (Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). The fonts are loaded via an external request to Google's servers, which means Google may receive your IP address when the page loads.
The fonts used are: Playfair Display and DM Sans.
Google fonts are loaded via an @import rule in our CSS file. This constitutes
a transfer of data to Google servers in the USA. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR
(legitimate interest in providing a visually consistent website). The transfer to the USA is
based on the adequacy decision (EU–US Data Privacy Framework) or, where applicable,
standard contractual clauses pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR.
Google's privacy policy can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy .
If you wish to prevent the transmission of your IP address to Google, you may install a browser extension that blocks Google Fonts, or use a browser that supports local font substitution. We are currently evaluating the option of self-hosting these fonts to eliminate this data transfer.
Our website contains links to external websites (including social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter/X, YouTube and Instagram). These links are implemented as standard HTML hyperlinks. Simply displaying the page does not cause any data to be transmitted to these platforms.
Data is only transferred to the respective social media platform when you actively click on the link. We have no influence over the data collected by these platforms. Please refer to the privacy policies of the respective platforms for details on how they process your data.
Under the GDPR, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data:
You have the right to request confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed, and if so, to receive a copy of that data.
You have the right to request the correction of inaccurate personal data concerning you without undue delay.
You have the right to request the deletion of personal data concerning you, provided the conditions of Art. 17 GDPR are met ("right to be forgotten").
You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6 (1)(e) or (f) GDPR.
If processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time with future effect. The lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal is not affected.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for our hosting provider in Germany is the respective state data protection authority. You may also contact the German Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI):
www.bfdi.bund.de
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at: info@koinoniaimpact.org
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or as required by applicable law. Contact enquiry data is generally deleted within 12 months of the final communication, unless a longer retention period is required by law (e.g. commercial or tax retention obligations).
Cookie consent records are retained for a period of 3 years in order to demonstrate compliance with our consent obligations under the GDPR and TDDDG.
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. This website is served via HTTPS (SSL/TLS encryption) to protect data in transit. Our hosting provider maintains appropriate server-side security measures.
Despite these measures, data transmission over the internet cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure. You transmit data at your own risk.
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in legal requirements or our data processing activities. The current version will always be available on this page. We recommend reviewing this page periodically.
