We offer two different tools on our websites that can be used to financially support charitable organizations. These are:
In charity shopping, the user selects a shop/service provider before making a purchase/booking where they want to buy or book something. Based on affiliate marketing, we receive a referral commission, which is largely donated according to the user's choice.
For each organization listed with us, we provide an online donation form. Users can donate online via various payment methods. The donation first goes to us and is usually forwarded to the desired organization at the donor's request, minus any fees from payment service providers.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is our terms of use (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR). To implement this service, we work with several processors:
