Privacy policy

This privacy policy complies with the guidelines of the GDPR and the BDSG. It is intended to provide information about the type, purpose and use of personal data by the website operator Konzeptwerk Neue Ökonomie.

Before data is transmitted to us online, we encrypt it using the TLS/SSL method. This is one of the most secure and most commonly used methods on the Internet. We always keep the security standards of our websites up to date. Although our site is equipped with various security precautions, we cannot guarantee complete protection of your data, as security gaps on the Internet cannot be ruled out.

The function and communication of our service is dependent on the data of our users. In principle, you can visit our website without leaving any personal data. In some cases, however, we need personal information from you for tax or legal reasons, e.g. for online donations, ordering information material, contacting us or registering for the e-newsletter. Personal data is particularly sensitive – this means all information that can be clearly traced back to a specific natural person. According to the GDPR, we are obliged to list the full scope of all such data.
