The purpose of the processing may also be changed if the data subject's consent is obtained from the person responsible. At the same time, prior to the collection or storage of data, the data controller must determine in writing whether and in which manner the data subject's statutory obligation to notify is to be complied with.
6.4 If other bodies request information regarding data subjects, such information may only be given without the consent of the data subject if there is a legal obligation to do so or a legitimate interest of the Association justifying the disclosure and the identity of the person making the request validates that act. In case of doubt, the DPO must be contacted.

The selected data backup measures shall be documented in the procedure directory.

8.2 The same applies if Stars for Africa wishes to carry out corresponding activities on behalf of third parties.
9. Security of Processing
9.1 Documented assessment of the need for protection and analysis of the possible risks for the person concerned shall be prepared for each procedure. This depends on the nature, extent, circumstances and purposes of the processing as well as the probability of the occurrence of such a risk.

5. Which data is processed in the context of the e-mail newsletter?
The newsletters are sent via "MailChimp", a newsletter dispatch platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. The e-mail addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in the context of this notice, are stored on the servers of MailChimp in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate newsletters on our behalf. Furthermore, according to its own information, MailChimp may use this data to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimisation of the dispatch and presentation of the newsletter or for economic purposes in order to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them or pass them on to third parties. We trust in the reliability and IT and data security of MailChimp. MailChimp is certified under the US-EU data protection agreement "Privacy Shield" and is therefore committed to complying with EU data protection regulations. In addition, we have concluded a data processing agreement with MailChimp. This is a contract in which MailChimp undertakes to protect the data of our users, to process it on our behalf in accordance with their data protection regulations and, in particular, not to pass it on to third parties: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/
You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter at any time, i.e. revoke your consent. At the same time, your consent to its dispatch via MailChimp and the statistical analyses will expire. A separate revocation of the dispatch via MailChimp or the statistical analysis is unfortunately not possible. You will find a link to cancel the newsletter at the end of each newsletter.
6. Which donor data do we collect?
If you make a donation via our website, we will use the personal data you provide exclusively for the purpose of processing your donation order.

A transmission of your personal data will only take place if we call in external service providers to process the donation processes. We have concluded a contract with such external service providers for order processing in accordance with Article 28 of the Basic Data Protection Regulation. In this contract we oblige external service providers to keep your personal data confidential and to take appropriate data security measures. Furthermore, the transmission of personal data to the responsible tax authority is legally obligatory if you wish to consider the donation as a special edition (§ 18 (1) Number 7 of the Income Tax Act). Finally, it may be necessary to disclose personal data to auditing bodies (e.g. auditors) in accordance with statutory provisions.
