Imprint & Privacy

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Bernhard Wicki Memorial Fund e.V. Pagodenburgstraße 2 81247 Munich Germany Email: info@bernhardwickigedaechtnisfonds.de

Each time this website is accessed, our hosting provider collects technically necessary access data and stores it in server log files. The following data is recorded:

• IP address of the requesting device (usually shortened or anonymised promptly) • Date and time of access • URL accessed and HTTP status code • Volume of data transferred • Browser type, operating system and referrer URL

Legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the technical provision and security of the website). The data is not merged with other data sources or evaluated on a personal basis. Log files are deleted after a short time, unless they are needed to investigate security incidents.

If you send us a message via the contact form or by email, we process the data you provide (name, email address, content of the message) for the purpose of processing your enquiry and for any follow-up questions.

Legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent) and – insofar as your enquiry is aimed at concluding or carrying out a (membership-related) relationship – Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. There is also a legitimate interest in the effective handling of your enquiry pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Note: The contact form on this website opens your message in your local email programme (mailto procedure). No data is transmitted to our server in the process; the actual sending takes place via your email provider.

Your data will be deleted as soon as your enquiry has been finally processed and no statutory retention obligations prevent this.

This website is hosted by an external service provider. The hoster processes personal data that is generated when the website is accessed (in particular the access data referred to in section 2) on our behalf.

A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR has been concluded with the hoster, which ensures the confidential processing of your data. Legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a secure and reliable provision of the website).

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the lock icon in your browser bar and by the prefix „https://“ in the address bar. Data you transmit to this website cannot be read by third parties.

This website uses external web fonts provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland („Google Fonts“) to display fonts consistently. When a page is accessed, your browser loads the required fonts from Google's servers. In doing so, your IP address is transmitted to Google; transfers to third countries (in particular the USA) cannot be ruled out.

Legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offering). Further information can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

On the press page, we embed the newsroom of the Bernhard Wicki Memorial Fund e.V. from the platform presseportal.de (news aktuell GmbH, Hamburg) via an iframe script. When the page is accessed, technical data (in particular your IP address) is transmitted to presseportal.de so that the content can be displayed.

Legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in an up-to-date and complete presentation of our press releases). The privacy notices of presseportal.de also apply.

Elsewhere, we link to our profiles on Facebook (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.) and Instagram (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.). Data is only transferred to the respective providers when you click on these links. Information on data processing can be found in the providers' respective privacy notices.

This website does not use cookies for analysis, tracking or marketing purposes. Technically necessary cookies may be set by embedded third-party content (e.g. presseportal.de); their processing is governed by the privacy notices of the respective provider.

Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties to the extent necessary for the performance of our tasks (e.g. to our hoster) or if you have given your express consent. Transfers to third countries may take place in connection with the use of Google Fonts and the embedded third-party content (sections 6 and 7). The respective providers rely on appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 44 et seq. GDPR (in particular Standard Contractual Clauses).

You have the following rights vis-à-vis us at any time with regard to the personal data concerning you:

• Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR) • Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR) • Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR) • Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) • Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR) • Right to object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR) • Right to withdraw consent given with effect for the future (Art. 7 (3) GDPR)

An informal notification to the address given in section 1 is sufficient to exercise your rights.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data (Art. 77 GDPR). The competent authority for our registered office is:

Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision (BayLDA) Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany https://www.lda.bayern.de

Last updated: April 2026. We reserve the right to adapt this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements or in order to implement changes to our services. The new privacy policy will then apply when you visit again.
