Thank you for visiting the Futureshaper platform. Our purpose is to create a community for visionaries and actors in the impact space and we value your privacy and want you to feel safe while visiting and using our platform.

You can therefore visit our platform without providing your personal data. However, as soon as you make use individual functions, services or offers on our platform, personal data may be processed. We only collect, process and use personal data if you have consented to the collection, processing and use or if there is a corresponding legal basis. We reserve the right to amend the privacy policy at any time with effect for the future. The current version of the privacy policy can be accessed, saved and printed at any time on our platform.

Below we inform you in detail about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us and inform you about the rights to which you are entitled as a data subject.

1. Name and address of the person responsible

2. Access data in server log files

We automatically store access data in so-called server log files each time our platform is accessed.

This includes the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred and, if applicable, the name of the requested file, the browser used and its version, the operating system used, IP address and referrer URL (URL that you visited immediately before).

Temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the platform to your end device. For this purpose, your IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of your data and the log files is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR

This data is analyzed exclusively to ensure the permanent and trouble-free operation of the platform and to improve the content of our platform as well as for transmission to law enforcement authorities in the event of a cyber attack and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. Your data will not be analyzed for marketing purposes in this context.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

The server log file data is stored separately from all other personal data provided by you.

The collection of data for the provision of the platform and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of our platform. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection.

3. Data processing when using the platform

When using our platform, we process the data generated in this context, in particular the data entered by the user such as profile name, email address and the generated content as well as the data generated during use such as likes, shares, etc. The data is processed exclusively for the provision of the platform and is not passed on to third parties.

The legal basis for the processing of this personal data is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.

The personal data of platform users will be stored until the respective account is deleted or until the purpose for which it was collected ceases to exist, after which it will be irretrievably deleted.

4. Use of cookies

In order to make visiting our platform attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called "cookies" on our platform. These are small text files that are stored on your end device via a browser.

Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. This consists of a character string that can be used to assign platforms and servers to a specific browser in which the respective cookie was stored. At the end of the browser session, most of the cookies we use are deleted again ("session cookies"). Persistent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your end device.

The following data is stored and transmitted in the cookies: Language settings, search terms entered, frequency of page views, use of platform functions, origin of the user, operating system used, end device used, browser used, resolution of the end device.

Your data collected on our platform is pseudonymized by technical precautions. It is therefore no longer possible to assign the data to you. The data is not stored together with your other personal data.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of our platform for you (e.g. your settings are saved). Some functions of our platform cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary that your browser is recognized even after a page change. If cookies are not accepted or are deactivated, the functionality of our platform may be restricted.

Some third-party services integrated by us may use cookies. Please refer to the platforms of the respective providers for information on how they work and process data. The services we use can be found in this privacy policy.

Cookies are stored on your end device and transmitted to our platform. You therefore have control over the use of cookies. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and decide individually whether to accept them or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, or set it so that the setting of cookies is prevented and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. You can also delete cookies that have already been set at any time via your browser. A comprehensive objection to online marketing cookies can also be declared via https://www.youronlinechoices.com/. The transmission of Flash cookies cannot be prevented via the settings of your browser, but by changing the settings of the Flash Player. This also applies to all third-party cookies listed below.

5. E-mail and contact form

Due to legal regulations, we provide information on our platform that enables quick electronic contact with us and direct communication with us. This includes both our e-mail address and our contact form. If you contact us by email or via our contact form, the personal data you provide will be stored automatically. The other personal data processed when you contact us is used to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, whereby ensuring communication with customers and interested parties is to be recognized as our legitimate interest. If the contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

We use the personal data you provide exclusively for processing your specific request. The data provided will always be treated confidentially.

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input screen of the contact form and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with you has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

If you contact us, you can object to the storage of your personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.

6. Data security

We take numerous technical and organizational measures to protect our platform and other systems against loss, destruction, access, modification or dissemination of your data by unauthorized persons. Despite regular checks, however, complete protection against all risks is not possible and cannot be guaranteed by us. For this reason, you are free at any time to transmit your personal data to us by other means, for example by telephone or post.

7. Data erasure and storage duration

Your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies or you withdraw your consent. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. If the purpose of storage no longer applies, if you withdraw your consent or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

8. Right to information

You also have the right to receive free information from us at any time about the personal data stored about you and a copy of this information. You also have a right of access to the following information:

• the purposes of processing,
• the categories of personal data that are processed,

You have the right to obtain from us restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

• The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
• The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead.
• The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
• The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may only be processed - apart from being stored - with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by us before the restriction is lifted.

11. Right to erasure

• The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.

The right to erasure does not exist if the processing is necessary:

• to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
• for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

• for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

12. Right to information

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against us, we are obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

Furthermore, when exercising your right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 (1) GDPR, you have the right to obtain that the personal data be transferred directly by us to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons.

The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

14. Right to object the data processing

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

In the event of an objection, we will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If we process your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes.

You also have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out by us for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

You can contact us at any time to exercise your right to object. You are also free to exercise your right to object in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

15. Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

16. Right to automated decisions in individual cases, including

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you, provided that the decision

• is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and us, or
• is authorized by Union or Member State law to which we are subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
• with your express consent.

Is the decision

• necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and us or
• it is done with your express consent,

we will take appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on our part, to express your own point of view and to contest the decision.

17. Existence of automated decision-making

We do not carry out automated decision-making or profiling.

18. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged will inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR. The authority responsible for us is the Officer for Data Protection and Freedom of Information Berlin, Alt-Moabit 59-61, 10555 Berlin, Germany.

Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for you to provide us with personal data in order to conclude a contract, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, you are obliged to provide us with your personal data if you conclude a contract with us. Failure to provide your personal data would mean that the contract could not be concluded with you.
