This Privacy Notice applies to the non-profit association International Zen-Temple e.V., Berlin Center for Korean Seon Buddhism (hereinafter: International Zen-Temple) and its website www.international-zen-temple.de (hereinafter: website). The controller within the meaning of data protection law is Nina Mascher, which you can reach at the address indicated in the Imprint.
International Zen-Temple treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations and this Privacy Notice. The purpose of the International Zen Temple is to practice Zen and to spread the teachings of Zen Buddhism. Its communication is limited to the necessary minimum.
The collection of personal data is largely dispensed with.
They are only handled in order to fulfil the purpose of the association.
Processing of personal data
If you make your personal data available to us by e-mail, telephone or post, for example by sending us an enquiry or registering for an event by providing your personal data (first name, surname and address are mandatory, e-mail address and telephone number are welcome), this is always voluntary. Your personal data will be processed exclusively – depending on what you indicate – for the purpose of processing your registration (e.g. to a Zen Intensive Practice event) in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b), (c), (f) GDPR and for processing your membership in the association as well as for other purposes which are absolutely necessary and result directly from the Statutes of the Association.
Your personal data will only be stored temporarily by us to process your request, to organise the event for which you have registered, etc. We will not use your personal data for any other purpose. Your data will then be deleted, at the latest 6 months after the last event, unless there is a legal obligation to retain it. If you decide to become a member of the association and register, your personal data will be stored for the duration of your membership and deleted after you cancel your membership, no later than 6 months after the cancellation.
Donations to the International Zen-Temple are voluntary; in the case of non-cash donations they shall be made by bank transfer to our account. We never collect your money. It is not possible to make payments via our website. In the case of donation receipts, you provide details such as the first name, surname, address, etc. on a voluntary basis. These data will be processed in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) and (f) GDPR for the donation receipt, whereby the International Zen-Temple has a legitimate interest in issuing effective donation receipts made out to the donor. These data will only be available electronically for one year after the donation receipt has been issued, then the electronically stored data will be deleted. In addition, the personal data is only available to the extent that there is a list of donors that is audited every three years by the tax office to verify our non-profit status (for which there is an obligation to maintain lists of donors who have received a donation receipt). This list is managed and stored in the accounts only in paper form. The paper lists will be deleted after the legal retention period has expired.
In the event of express consent to the processing of personal data, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
Transfer of personal data to third parties
Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties or used for reasons other than those stated without your express consent, unless there is a legal obligation to do so, for example, in the case of the above-mentioned submission of donor lists to the tax office for the purpose of verifying our non-profit status. You have the right to revoke any consent you have given with effect for the future at any time.

Further personal data is only collected via our website if you enable this via the settings of your browser. The International Zen-Temple itself does not use cookies. If you want to prevent the use of cookies that may be used by the service provider, you can do this by making local changes to your settings in the Internet browser used on your computer, which is the program that opens and displays Internet pages. We point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

You can contact us at any time at the address given in the Imprint for this and other questions on the subject of personal data.
Deletion of personal data
The deletion of your stored personal data takes place – unless provided otherwise in this Privacy Notice – after completion of the procedure (see also above "Processing of personal data"), if you revoke your consent to the storage, if the purpose of the storage is no longer necessary or if the storage of your personal data is inadmissible for other legal reasons.

Data for necessary accounting and bookkeeping purposes, to which we are legally obliged, are not affected by a deletion request.

Restriction of processing
In accordance with Art. 18 GDPR, you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, which you have transmitted to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transfer this data to another data controller without any hindrance on our part, provided that the processing is based on a consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1 b) GDPR and the processing is carried out using automated procedures, unless there is a restriction specified in Art. 20 GDPR.

Right to withdraw consent
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to revoke at any time their consent to the processing of personal data (pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR).
