Some of the cookies will be deleted at the end of your browser session (so-called session cookies). Other cookies may remain on your device and allow us to identify your browser the next time you visit the Syrian Youth Assembly platform (so-called persistent cookies).

4.Tracking Measures and Analysis Tools
We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google“). In this context, pseudonymised user profiles are created and cookies (see Section 3) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website such as

The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports about the website activities and to provide further services associated with website use and Internet use for the purposes of market research and demand-oriented design of these websites. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of the company. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other data from Google. The IP addresses are anonymized using the Google Analytics extension “anonymizeIp()”, so that an assignment is not possible (IP masking).
Google will act for us as a processor within the meaning of Article 28 GDPR.
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

An opt-out cookie is set which prevents future collection of your data when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.

5.Other external services
We may use a number of other external services embedded in our website to better display certain content or deliver additional services. Below is a list of services and their respective privacy policies
5.1.Google Maps
We use Google Maps on this website. The provider of this service is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. To guarantee the functionality of Google Maps, we store your IP-address. This information is sent to and stored on Google’s servers in the USA. We want to provide our online offer in an appealing way and ease the search for addresses. If you have given your consent, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The provider of this website has no influence on the data transfer. Further details about the handling of data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/
Opt-out: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/
5.2.Google Web Fonts
This site uses web fonts provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”) to uniformly display fonts. Google Web Fonts allows us to use external fonts, so-called Google Fonts. When you visit our website, the required Google Font is loaded from your web browser into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. This is necessary so that your browser can also show an optically improved representation of our texts. If your browser does not support this feature, your computer will use a standard font for display. These web fonts are integrated by a server call, usually a Google server in the USA. This transfers to the server which page of our website you have visited. Google also stores the IP address of the browser of the visitor’s terminal device.
We use Google Web Fonts for optimization purposes, in particular to improve the use of our Internet presence for you and to make its design more user-friendly. This is also our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Further information on data protection can be found in Google’s data protection declaration: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy
For more information about Google Web Fonts, visit http://www.google.com/webfonts/ , https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq?hl=en-GB&csw=1https://www.google.com/fonts#AboutPlace:about.
5.3.Youtube
We use YouTube plugins on our website. YouTube is a service by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). If you visit a website that is operated by us and uses a YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube servers will be established. YouTube servers will be informed about which of our websites you visited. When you are logged in your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your browsing behavior to your particular account. You can prevent this by logging out of your account. Further information about the handling of user data are stated in YouTube’s privacy policy, available at:https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
We use the advanced privacy mode which, according to the provider, only leads to the storage of user information when a video is actively played. When embedded YouTube videos are played, the provider uses cookies in order to collect information about user behavior. This procedure enables YouTube to record video statistics, enhance user friendliness and prevent abusive behavior. When you are logged in your Google account, your data will be assigned to your account when you play videos. You can prevent the assignment by logging out of your account before playing the video. Google stores the data (also for users that are not logged in) in the form of user profiles and analyses them. The legal basis for the analysis is Google’s legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertisement, market research and adequate website presentation. You have the right to object to the creation of user profiles. If you want to want to exercise this right, you have to address YouTube. By visiting this website, a connection to the Google network “DoubleClick” is established, independently from playing an embedded video, and can lead to further data processing, which are not influenced by us.
6. Donations via Betterplace
We process the data you enter in the donation input mask on the website in order to process the payment of donations by you via the donation platform betterplace.org. embedded in the website. The platform is operated by gut.org gemeinnützige Aktiengesellschaft, Schlesische Straße 26, 10997 Berlin, Germany. The information you enter in the donaion input mask is transmitted to betterplace.org by clicking on the “Donate Now!” button and is processed to complete your donation using the chosen payment method and to issue a donation receipt.
The legal basis for the above mentioned processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Further information on the handling of personal data in connection with the betterplace.org plugin can be found in the privacy policy of betterplace.org at: https://www.betterplace.org/c/rules/privacy-policy.
We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (in the following referred to as “reCAPTCHA”) within the donation input mask. This service is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). reCAPTCHA controls whether data entries on our website (e.g. in a contact form) are made by humans or automated programs. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyses the user behavior on the website based on several characteristics. The analysis starts automatically as soon as the user visits the website. reCAPTCHA evaluates several information, e.g.
■ IP address
■ Length the user stays on the website
■ Mouse movements
The data recorded for the analysis are transferred to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analysis runs in the background. Website visitors are not informed about the analysis. The processing is pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. (f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in protecting our website from abusive spying out of data and unwanted, automated mailings (spam).
We do not store personal data from the use of reCAPTCHA. In general, personal data concerning the data subject are deleted or disabled as soon as the purpose for storing the data has been omitted. Google’s privacy policy contains more details concerning data protection regulations, available at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/

9.1.Data Collection & Legal Basis
We collect your email address so that we can deliver the requested periodical email newsletter from Syrian Youth Assembly to you. No other data is collected for the purpose of sending the newsletter. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for sending the newsletter. This means that we will not send you our newsletter by email until you have expressly confirmed that you agree to the dispatch of newsletters. In the first step, you will receive an email with a link to confirm that you, as the owner of the corresponding email address, would like to receive the newsletter in the future. With the confirmation you give us your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 s.1 lit. (a) GDPR that we may use your personal data for the purpose of the desired newsletter dispatch.

9.3.Access to Data & Transferal
Your email address will be stored on Syrian Youth Assembly’s secured server. Within Syrian Youth Assembly, only those departments will have access to your data that need it to carry out the mailing of the Newsletter.
Our email newsletters are sent via a technical service provider to whom we pass on the data you provide when you register for the newsletter. This forwarding is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. (f) GDPR and serves our legitimate interest in the use of an effective, secure and user-friendly newsletter system. The data you enter to subscribe to the newsletter (e.g. email address) will be stored on servers located in the EU.
The service provider uses this information for the dispatch and statistical evaluation of the newsletter on our behalf. For evaluation purposes, the emails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which are one-pixel image files stored on our website. In this way it can be determined whether a newsletter message was opened and which links were clicked on, if applicable.
Conversion tracking can also be used to analyze whether a predefined action (e.g. purchase of a product on our website) was carried out after clicking on the link in the newsletter. Technical information is also collected (e.g. time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system).
The data is only collected pseudonymously and is not linked to your other personal data, a direct personal reference is excluded. This data is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.
If you wish to object to the data analysis for statistical evaluation purposes, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter.
We have concluded an order processing contract with our email service provider in which we oblige him to protect our customers’ data and not to pass it on to third parties.
