In this Privacy Notice we inform you about the processing of personal data when you use the website www.thehomeberlin.de (hereinafter the “Website”) and when you make use of the services that are either provided on the Website or offered by The Home – for Revival, Reformation and Transformation e.V.
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, e.g. name, address and e-mail address.
We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection provisions, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter “GDPR”). Your data will not be published by us and will not be disclosed to third parties without authorization.
The controller responsible for processing your data (hereinafter “we” or “us”) is:

When you use our Website for informational purposes only, we process only the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. We have no influence on this. The following information, which is technically necessary for us, is collected without any action on your part, stored for a maximum period of 30 days and then automatically deleted:
The legal basis for the processing of the IP address is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The data collected does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your identity, and we do not draw such conclusions. Our legitimate interest in collecting the data lies in the following purposes:
Via our contact form you can send us a message by providing your name and e-mail address. Mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk. Any further information you provide in the contact form is voluntary. The data you enter in the contact form is transmitted to us and stored by us. You can also contact us by e-mail.
We store and process the data you provide for the purpose of contacting us and handling your message (such as your name, e-mail address, your request) on the basis of our legitimate interests in enabling appropriate communication with you (legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
We store the data you send us via contact requests until the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been fully processed) or until you request deletion. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
You can register for events via our Website. For registration and for the organization and conduct of the event we process the information you provide (e.g. name, e-mail address and, where applicable, further organizational information). For events that include catering, you may voluntarily provide information on allergies and intolerances so that we can – where possible – arrange suitable food.
The legal basis for processing your registration data is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and – where applicable – Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We process information on allergies and intolerances only if you provide it voluntarily and give your explicit consent; the legal basis is then Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
Your information on allergies and intolerances will be deleted after the event has ended. You can withdraw any consent given at any time with effect for the future (e.g. by e-mail to office@thehome.berlin). Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out up to that point. Your e-mail address and your name will be deleted only until completion of the event, at the latest however six months after registration, unless you have also subscribed to our newsletter or statutory retention obligations exist.
With your consent, we process your personal data (e-mail address) in order to send you our newsletter. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). For sending the newsletter we use ngo.tools (Help NGO gGmbH) as a processor. Registration takes place via the double opt-in procedure; we document the registration and confirmation (e.g. time and IP address) in order to be able to demonstrate your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future, e.g. by using the unsubscribe link contained in every newsletter or by e-mail to office@thehome.berlin. Further information on data processing by ngo.tools can be found in the privacy notice of ngo.tools (https://ngo.tools/datenschutz/).
We disclose your personal data only if this is necessary for providing our Website and services, if you have consented, if we are legally obliged to do so, or if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure and there are no overriding interests worthy of protection. Where we engage service providers, this is generally done on the basis of processing on our behalf pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.
a) ngo.tools / Help NGO gGmbH (forms & communication)
We use ngo.tools (operated by Help NGO gGmbH) for our online forms. When you complete a form, the data you enter (e.g. name, e-mail address, message/content, where applicable organizational information regarding your request) is processed via ngo.tools so that we can handle your request and communicate with you.
Depending on the nature of your request, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures/contract) and/or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in efficient communication and handling of requests).
b) Hetzner Online GmbH (hosting via ngo.tools)
To the extent that ngo.tools uses hosting services for the provision/operation of its services, hosting is, to the best of our knowledge, carried out via Hetzner (data center/hosting service provider). Technically necessary data (e.g. server log files) may be processed in order to ensure the stability and security of the systems.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure and reliable operation).
c) Webflow (hosting & delivery of the Website)
We use Webflow to create, provide and host our Website. When you access our Website, Webflow processes technically necessary data to deliver the Website and to ensure stability and security (e.g. IP address, date and time of access, content/pages accessed, referrer URL, device/browser information).
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure and reliable operation of our Website).
Important: Contact and registration forms on our Website are handled via ngo.tools; we do not use Webflow forms for transmitting your form data.
Within our organization, only those persons have access to your data who need it to fulfill their tasks (need-to-know principle).
We do not sell your data and we do not disclose it to third parties for advertising purposes.
Webflow is a provider where – depending on the specific technical setup – data may also be processed in third countries (in particular the USA). Appropriate safeguards are used for such transfers (in particular the EU Standard Contractual Clauses); where applicable, an adequacy decision (e.g. the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework) may also serve as a legal basis.
If you would like further information, we will be happy to provide you with the relevant details (e.g. data processing agreement/sub-processors).
As a data subject (Art. 4(1) GDPR) you have numerous rights vis-à-vis us, which we would like to inform you about below. Further details can be found in Articles 15 to 21 GDPR as well as Sections 32 to 37 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, “BDSG”).

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit those data to another controller. Further details and limitations can be found in Art. 20 GDPR. Exercising this right does not affect your right to erasure.
