This Policy applies as between you, the User of this Web Site and Sankofa Lingua Academy the owner and provider of this Web Site. This Policy applies to our use of any and all Data collected by us in relation to your use of the Web Site and any Services or Systems therein.
(1) Below, we inform you about the
collection of personal data when using our website.
(2) The term "personal data"
refers, with reference to the definition in Art. 4 No. 1 of Regulation (EU)
2016/679 (hereinafter referred to as "General Data Protection
Regulation" or "GDPR"), to all data that can be related to you
personally. This includes, for example, name, address, email address, and user
behavior. For further terminology, in particular the terms
"processing," "controller," "processor," and
"consent," we refer to the legal definitions in Art. 4 GDPR.
(3) For matters
affecting Switzerland, even if initiated outside of Switzerland, the Swiss
Federal Act on Data Protection (hereinafter referred to as "DSG")
also applies. However, we consistently use the terminology of the GDPR. The
GDPR terms "personal data," "processing,"
"processor," "special categories of data," and "data
portability" also mean, as far as the DSG applies, the terms
"personal data," "processing," "data processor,"
"particularly sensitive personal data," and "data transfer"
as used in the DSG. The legal meaning of these terms is determined by the DSG
in that case.
(4) We only process
personal data to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and the
content and services we offer. The processing of personal data generally only
occurs if you have given us consent according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or if the
processing is permitted by legal provisions, particularly one of the legal
bases mentioned in Art. 6(1)(b) to (f) GDPR.
(5) Your personal data
will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply.
Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by national or European
regulations to which we are subject. In this case, data will be blocked or
deleted once the legally prescribed storage period has expired, unless
continued storage is necessary for contract fulfillment or conclusion.
(6) If we use contracted
service providers for certain functions of our website or wish to use your data
for advertising purposes, we will inform you about the specific processes below.
(1) The controller pursuant to Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR, other applicable EU member state data protection laws, and other data protection regulations is:
Akwasi Badu-Aning
Sankofa Lingua Academy
Petersburgerstr. 92
10247 Berlin
Phone: +49 176 36751090
Email: info@sankofa-lingua.com
(2) Further details
regarding the controller can be found in our legal notice.
(1) You have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- The right to access information,
- The right to rectification and
deletion,
- The right to restrict processing,
- The right to object to processing,
- The right to data portability.
(2) Additionally, you have the right to
lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority regarding the
processing of your personal data by us.
(3) Under the scope of the DSG, you also have the right to:
- Request data release,
- Request data destruction
If you visit our website without
registering or otherwise providing us with information ("informational
use"), we do not collect any personal data.
(1) We use so-called cookies on our
website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your end device's
storage medium, such as a hard drive, and provide us with certain information
as the entity setting the cookie. Cookies cannot execute programs or transfer
viruses to your end device. This website uses the following types of cookies,
whose scope and functionality are explained below.
(2) Cookies stored in your web browser:
- Transient cookies: These cookies
are automatically deleted when you close your web browser. These include, in
particular, session cookies. They store a session ID, which allows various
requests from your web browser to be assigned to the same session. This enables
your end device to be recognized when you return to our website. Session
cookies are deleted once you log out or close your web browser.
- Persistent cookies: These cookies
are automatically deleted after a specified period, which can differ depending
on the cookie. You can delete these cookies at any time in your web browser
settings.
(3) The processing of personal data via
these cookies serves to make our website offerings more user-friendly and
effective. Some website functions cannot be provided without these cookies. In
particular, certain features require that your web browser be recognized even
after switching pages. If you have an account with us, we use cookies to
identify you on future visits, so you don’t have to log in again each time. The
data processed by technically necessary cookies is not used to create user
profiles. Cookies used for analytical purposes help us improve the quality and
user-friendliness of our website, its content, and functions. They enable us to
understand how the website and its features are used and how frequently,
helping us continually optimize our offerings.
(4) Insofar as cookies are not
technically required, we only use them with your prior consent, which you can
revoke at any time. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
(5) These cookies are stored on your end
device and transmitted to our server. Therefore, you can configure the
processing of data and information via cookies yourself. You can make settings
in your web browser to, for example, reject third-party cookies or cookies in
general. Please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all website
features. We also recommend regularly manually deleting cookies and your
browser history.
(1) In addition to the informational use
of our website described above, we offer various services that you can use if
interested. In this case, it is usually necessary to provide additional
personal data. These data are required to provide the respective service. The
aforementioned principles of data processing apply.
(2) In part, we use external service
providers for the processing of these data, who have been carefully selected
and commissioned by us. These service providers are bound by our instructions
and are regularly monitored by us. If personal data are passed on to third
parties in the course of services that we offer together with partners, you can
find more detailed information in the following descriptions of the individual
services. If these third parties are located in a country outside the European
Economic Area, you can find more detailed information on the consequences of
this in the descriptions of the individual services.
(1) If you contact us by
email, the personal data you provide with your email will be stored.
(2) In addition, we provide a contact
form on our website, which you can use to get in touch with us. The data you
enter in the input form will be transmitted to us and stored: first name, last
name, email address, phone number.
(3) The data will be used solely to respond to your inquiries. Unless explicitly stated otherwise in this privacy policy, the data will not be shared with third parties. Additionally, we collect your IP address and the time of submission.
(4) The processing of the personal data
mentioned above serves solely to process your inquiries.
(5) The processing of other personal data
collected through the use of the contact form on our website is carried out to
prevent misuse and to ensure the security of our IT systems.
(6) This also constitutes our legitimate
interest in processing your personal data. If you have given us your consent
for this purpose, the legal basis for processing these data is Art. 6(1)(a)
GDPR. Otherwise, the legal basis for processing these data is Art. 6(1)(f)
GDPR, particularly if you provide the data to us by sending an email. If your
email aims to conclude a contract, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR provides an additional
legal basis.
(7) The data will be deleted, subject to
legal retention periods, once we have fully processed your inquiry. If you
contact us by email, you may object to the storage of your personal data at any
time. Please note that in this case, your inquiry cannot be further processed.
You can revoke your consent or object to the processing by sending an email to
the email address provided in our imprint.
(1) We offer a
newsletter on our website that you can subscribe to. The details of the
newsletter, especially its potential contents, are specified in the consent
declaration. If you subscribe to our newsletter, the data you enter in the
input form during registration will be transmitted to us. To register for the
newsletter, you must provide mandatory information: salutation, first name,
last name, email address.
(2) Any additional personal data you
provide during registration is voluntary.
(3) We use the double opt-in process for
newsletter registration. After you register, we will send you an email to the
email address you provided, asking you to confirm that you wish to receive the
newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within the period specified
in the email, your data will be locked and deleted after 24 hours. We also
store your IP address and the times of registration and confirmation. Your data
will not be shared with third parties in connection with the processing of the
newsletter. This data is used solely for sending the newsletter.
(4) Unless we use a third-party provider
(as specified below) for sending the newsletter, your data will not be shared
with third parties.
(5) The data entered into the input form
during registration is processed so that we can address you personally. After
your confirmation, we store your email address so we can send you the
newsletter. We store your IP address and the times of registration and
confirmation so we can provide evidence of your registration and, if necessary,
clarify any misuse of your personal data. This also constitutes our legitimate
interest. If you have given your consent, the legal basis for processing is
Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. If processing is based on our legitimate interests, the
legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
(6) The data will be deleted as soon as
it is no longer necessary for achieving the above purposes. We store your data
as long as you are subscribed to the newsletter. After unsubscribing, your data
will only be stored anonymously for statistical purposes.
(7) You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time by unsubscribing. You can unsubscribe by clicking on the link included in every newsletter email we send.
(8) Please note that when sending the
newsletter, we analyze your user behavior. The newsletters contain a so-called
web beacon or tracking pixel, which is a one-pixel image file stored on our
website. This data is collected in a pseudonymized form only.
(9) The processing of this data aims to
tailor the newsletter to your individual interests, optimize our services, and
make our offerings more appealing to you. This also constitutes our legitimate
interest. If you have given us consent, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
If the processing is otherwise based on legitimate interests, the legal basis
is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If you have given consent for this processing, you may
withdraw it at any time. You can object to this analysis of your user behavior
at any time by clicking on the link included in every newsletter email.
Furthermore, you can prevent this analysis by disabling the automatic display
of images in your email program. Please note that the newsletter may not
display fully in this case, and some functions may not work. If you manually
enable the display of images, the analysis described will resume.
(1) To use additional
features of our website, we offer the possibility to register by providing
personal data. The data is entered into an input form, transmitted to us, and
stored. The data will not be passed on to third parties. Mandatory fields
requested during registration are marked accordingly and must be completed in
full. Otherwise, we will refuse the registration. The following data is
collected as part of the registration process: salutation, first name, last
name, email address, address, phone number, language selection, and
professional status (for discounts).
(2) At the time of registration, the IP
address as well as the date and time of registration are also stored. During
the registration process, the user’s consent to the processing of these data is
obtained.
(3) Registration is necessary to provide
certain content and services on our website. The data entered for this purpose
is used solely for utilizing the respective offer or service or to provide the
services for which you have registered. In the event of important changes to
our offers, services, or functionalities — for example, changes in scope or
necessary technical adjustments — we use the email address provided during
registration to inform you. The legal basis for the processing of data is Art.
6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). If registration serves the conclusion or performance of
a contract, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as an additional legal basis.
(4) You can revoke your consent at any
time. The legality of the data processing that has already taken place remains
unaffected by the revocation.
(5) The data will be deleted as soon as
it is no longer required to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected.
This is the case when the registration on our website is canceled or modified.
You can cancel your registration at any time. You can also change the data
stored about you at any time. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
(6) We only transmit personal data to third parties if this is necessary within the scope of contract processing. No further transmission of the data takes place, unless you have given your explicit consent. We do not pass on your data to third parties without your explicit consent, particularly for advertising purposes.
(7) If you have given us consent, the
legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Otherwise, the
legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
