When you visit this site
The site is hosted by Netlify, Inc., 101 2nd Street, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA. The hosting account is run for us by our affiliated company TFS Group GmbH, Luhnenstraße 7, 30559 Hannover, Germany.
When you open a page, your browser sends technical data to the hosting servers. This includes your IP address, the date and time, the page or file you requested, your browser type and operating system, and the page you came from. This data is needed to deliver the site to you and to keep it secure.
The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is a site that works reliably and safely.
Netlify processes this data on our behalf under a data processing agreement. Netlify is based in the United States. Netlify states that it complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and uses the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission for transfers of personal data.
When you join the list
If you join the list, we store what you enter in the form: your first name, your email address and, if you tell us, the country you live in and whether you would come on your own, as a couple or with friends. The time of your entry and technical data of the submission, such as your IP address and browser type, are stored with it.
We use this data for one purpose: to keep you informed about Safe Haven Village and to invite you when there is something to see. We do not sell it, we do not pass it on for advertising, and we do not combine it with data from other sources.
The legal basis is your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Safe Haven Village is an LGBTQ+ community that is open to everyone. Being on the list says nothing about who you are, and we will never treat it as if it did. As far as the list could still allow conclusions about your personal life, we rely on your explicit consent under Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR and handle the list with the care such information deserves.
The entries are stored with our hosting provider Netlify, see above. We keep your entry until you withdraw your consent or until we close the list.
You can withdraw your consent at any time, without giving a reason. An email to jb@bsventuregroup.com is enough. We then delete your entry. The withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of the processing up to that point.
A setting stored on your device
If you switch the animations on this site off or on, your browser remembers that choice in its local storage under the name "sh-motion". The setting stays on your device and is not sent to us. It is only stored when you use the switch, and it is needed for the function you asked for (§ 25 para. 2 no. 2 TDDDG).
When you write to us
If you send us an email, we use your message and your address to answer you. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your message is about a contract. We delete the correspondence when it is no longer needed, unless the law requires us to keep it.
Your rights
You have the right to know which data we hold about you (Art. 15 GDPR), to have it corrected (Art. 16), to have it deleted (Art. 17), to have its processing restricted (Art. 18), to receive it in a portable format (Art. 20) and to object to processing that is based on our legitimate interest (Art. 21). You can withdraw a consent at any time (Art. 7 para. 3).
To use any of these rights, write to jb@bsventuregroup.com.
You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority (Art. 77 GDPR). The authority responsible for us is the State Commissioner for Data Protection of Lower Saxony (Der Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz Niedersachsen) in Hannover.
No automated decisions
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
