Information Collection and Usage
Koreanische Zen-Gemeinschaft collects the information you provide such as your name, contact details, and email address for which you gave your consent when you signed up to receive emails from us. You are not required to provide this information except when inquiring about an event or donating to the Koreanische Zen-Gemeinschaft.

We use your contact details so that we can contact you in case of issues with changes to event schedules, payment, and similar circumstances and send you our newsletter. We may also send you information relating to the event before, during, or after the event. Furthermore, we use your banking details to process donations you have made to us and to send you a receipt for such donations. We also use your personal data to claim tax relief on charitable donations, if applicable.

Email Newsletter Opt In/Opt Out
We may use your email address to send periodic email newsletters regarding our retreats, Dharma talks, and events. However, we will only do so if you have given us your permission. If you change your mind at a later date, simply click on the option to unsubscribe near the bottom of the email newsletter. To send our newsletter, we use the listing provider MailChimp. MailChimp is a service provided by The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 512 Means Street, Suite 404 Atlanta, GA 30318. When you register for our newsletter, the data (name, email address) that you specify in the newsletter registration is transferred to MailChimp and stored there. The service provider MailChimp has its headquarters in the United States. Therefore, your data will be processed on servers/data centers in the United States. After the registration, you will get an email from MailChimp to confirm your registration (“double opt-in”). MailChimp offers many analysis possibilities on how the newsletter is opened and used. These analyses are group-centered and are not used by us for individual evaluation of newsletter recipients.
