Privacy Policy

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select „Remember Me“, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Collection and publication of personal data

What data we collect
At lifelong-learning.org, we collect the following personal data: name, email address, image (photo), and your answers to the four questions (Who am I?; What experiences have shaped me?; Why is this important to me?; What would I like to share with others?).

Purpose of processing
This data is collected solely for the purpose of publishing it (publicly) on heartsinmosaic.com together with the image and answers.
In addition, the data may be used for statistical evaluations and analysis using artificial intelligence methods (e.g., machine learning, deep learning) to improve the reach and effectiveness of our association’s work. AI-supported processing is only carried out within the scope of your consent and is not used for automated decision-making with legal effect.

Legal basis
Processing and publication are carried out exclusively on the basis of your express consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, § 22 KunstUrhG). The processing of special categories of personal data (e.g., ethnic origin) only takes place if you have expressly consented to this.

Recipients
Once published, the data is accessible to anyone on the internet. For statistical and AI-supported evaluations, service providers who are contractually bound to confidentiality may be used within the scope of order processing.

Withdrawal of consent
You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect. In this case, your data will be removed from heartsinmosaic.com and will no longer be published; furthermore, it will no longer be used for statistical or AI-supported analyses. To do so, please send an email to: reibeling.florian@gmail.com.

Duration of storage
Your data will be stored for as long as it is published on heartsinmosaic.com or until you request its deletion. Statistical and AI analyses will only be stored for as long as they are necessary for the specified purposes.
