Data Protection

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Your data is treated confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection requirements and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data may be collected. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and why.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. via email) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of your data from third-party access is not possible.

Note on the Responsible Entity

Responsible entity for data processing on this website:

Ubuntu Collective | Naa Squire | Phone: 0157 72902902 | Email: ubuntucollectivemunich@gmail.com

The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses).

Revocation of Your Consent

Many processing activities are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke your consent at any time via informal email. Send request to: ubuntucollectivemunich@gmail.com

Processing done before your revocation remains lawful.

Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR)

If your data is processed under Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. This applies to profiling as well. If you object, your personal data will no longer be processed unless compelling legitimate grounds override your interests or the data is needed for legal claims.

If your data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you may also object at any time, including to profiling related to direct marketing. Your data will no longer be used for such purposes following an objection.

Right to Lodge a Complaint

If you believe your data has been processed in violation of the GDPR, you may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your habitual residence, workplace, or place of alleged infringement.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data processed based on your consent or contract in a common, machine-readable format or to have it transferred to another responsible party if technically feasible.

Right to Access, Correction, Restriction, and Deletion

You may request information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and purpose at any time free of charge. You also have the right to correct, block, or delete this data within the scope of legal provisions. Please contact us via the address provided in the imprint for any inquiries.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time using the address listed in the site's imprint. This right applies in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally require time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request restriction of processing.

  • If the processing is unlawful, you may request restriction of data usage instead of deletion.

  • If we no longer need the data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you may request restriction rather than deletion.

  • If you've objected under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, we must evaluate whose interests take precedence. While this assessment is ongoing, you may request restriction of data processing.

If your personal data has been restricted, it may—aside from being stored—only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another individual or legal entity, or for reasons of significant public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Objection to Promotional Emails

Use of contact details published in accordance with imprint requirements for the sending of unsolicited advertising or informational materials is hereby expressly objected to. The site operators reserve the right to take legal action in case of unauthorized advertising, such as spam emails.
