Privacy Policy

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of the Society for the Protection of Birds of Prey – Raptor Conservation Initiative. Using the website of the Society for the Protection of Birds of Prey – Raptor Conservation Initiative is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services provided by our company via our website, processing of personal data may be necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Society for the Protection of Birds of Prey – Raptor Conservation Initiative. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.

The Society for the Protection of Birds of Prey – Raptor Conservation Initiative, as the controller, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, for example, by telephone.
