(collectively referred to as "online offer"). With regard to the terminology used, e.g. "Processing" or "Responsible", we refer to the definitions in Article 4 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
+
+## 1. Name and contact details of the controller and the company data protection officer
+
+This privacy policy applies to data processing by:
+
+Responsible:
+
+The Apache Software Foundation
+V. P. Data Privacy
+1000 N West Street, Suite 1200
+Wilmington, DE 19801
+U.S.A.
+
+E-Mail: vp-privacy@apache.org
+
+## 2. Collection and storage of personal data and the nature and purpose of their use
+
+### a) When visiting the website
+
+**TODO: what other domains do we own?**
+
+When you visit our websites https://apache.org or one of our subdomains, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information will be collected without your intervention and stored until automated deletion:
+
+**TODO: Wait for Infra feedback**
+ - IP address of the requesting computer,
+ - date and time of access,
+ - name and URL of the retrieved file,
+ - website from which access is made (referrer URL),
+ - The browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer and the name of your access provider.
+
+The data mentioned are processed by us for the following purposes:
+
+ - ensuring a smooth connection of the website,
+ - ensuring comfortable use of our website,
+ - Evaluation of system security and stability as well
+ - for further administrative purposes.
+
+The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above. In no case we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about you.
+In addition, we use cookies and analysis services when visiting our website. Further details can be found under no. 4 and 5 of this privacy policy.
+
+### b) When registering for our newsletter and mailing lists
+
+If, pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR have expressly consented, we use your e-mail address to regularly send you our newsletter or message arriving at our mailing lists. For the receipt of the newsletter or mailing list message the indication of an e-mail address is sufficient.
+
+We inform our visitors at regular intervals through newsletters about news and offers from The Apache Software Foundation. Furthermore, we communicate with interested person through our mailing lists.
+
+The newsletter of our company can only be received if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the person concerned registers for the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address entered by an affected person for the first time for newsletter mailing using the double-opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to check whether the owner of the e-mail address as the person concerned authorized the receipt of the newsletter.
+
+**TODO: Confirm with infra, if we actually store the IP address - we should**
+
+When subscribing to the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system used by the person concerned at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration, as assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP). The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse of an affected person's e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves as legal safeguards for the controller.
+
+The personal data collected in the context of registering for the newsletter will be used exclusively to send our newsletter. The personal data collected in the context of registering for a mailing list will be used exclusively to send messages arriving at our mailing list.
+
+Subscribers may also be notified by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter/mailing list service or registration, as might be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter/mailing list or technical changes.
+
+There will be no transfer of the personal data collected as part of the newsletter service to third parties.
+
+Almost all of our mailing lists are of public nature. This means, your name and email may be exposed to the public. Also, all information you send to a mailing list will be exposed to the public. Third parties may collect this information and process separately. The sender of messages is responsible for exposing their data to the public.
+
+All content sent to mailing lists are archived indefinitely.
+
+Subscription to our newsletter and mailing lists may be terminated by the person concerned at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for the newsletter/mailing list dispatch can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking the consent, instructions are given by the end of any email.
+
+**TODO: Check if there is such a service running**
+It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, directly on the controller's website, or to inform the controller in a different way.
+
+## 3. Disclosure of data
+
+A transfer of your personal data to third parties for purposes other than those listed below does not take place.
+We only share your personal information with third parties if:
+
+ - You your according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR have given express consent to this
+ - disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR is required to assert, exercise or defend legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have a predominantly legitimate interest in not disclosing your data,
+ - in the event that disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR is a legal obligation, as well
+ - as permitted by law and according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR is required for the settlement of contractual relationships with you.
+
+## 4. External service providers
+The Apache Software Foundation uses the following external service providers who help to optimize the service. Insofar as these service providers process data on behalf of The Apache Software Foundation, agreements have been concluded with them which set the European data protection standards as binding and in particular prohibit the use of the data for other purposes. If we commission third parties to process data on the basis of a so-called "contract processing contract", this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.
+
+
+### (a) **TODO: Outside email provider?**
+
+The Apache Software Foundation uses the XXX to send the newsletter. This service allows The Apache Software Foundation to manage a database of email contacts internally to communicate with users via email.
+
+**TODO: Ask marketing if we actually do things like this**
+The service manages data on which date and time emails were read, as well as when the user interacted with incoming emails, for example by clicking on links contained in the email. This is done by so-called web beacons, also called tracking pixels. These are small image files that allow an evaluation of user behavior. The user can object to this tracking at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. Such an evaluation is not possible even if the user has disabled the display of images in his email program by default. However, in this case, the newsletter can not be fully displayed and the user may not be able to fully use all features.
+
+### (b) Hetzner:- Hosting
+
+**TODO: Confirm if we actually use Hetzner**
+
+The Apache Software Foundation uses the Hetzner Webhosting service of Hetzner **TODO: add address**, for hosting databases and web content. The data is stored exclusively in a **TODO: WHAT COUNTRY** data center, **TODO CHECK CERTS** which is certified to ISO 27001, 27017 and 2018 as well as PCI DSS Level 1. Of course, we have tight access rights and the data is automatically encrypted.
+
+## 5. Social Media Plug-ins
+
+We rely on our website on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR social plug-ins from the social networks Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to make our company better known. The underlying commercial purpose is to be regarded as a legitimate interest within the meaning of the GDPR. Responsibility for the operation compliant with data protection is to be guaranteed by their respective providers. The integration of these plug-ins by us is done by means of the so-called two-click method to protect visitors to our website in the best possible way.
+
+### a) Youtube
+
+On our website we have integrated components from YouTube. YouTube is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to freely watch video clips and other users for free viewing, rating and commenting. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, so that both complete film and television broadcasts, but also music videos, trailers or user-made videos via the Internet portal are available.
+
+YouTube's operating company is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
+
+Each visit to one of the pages of this site operated by the controller and incorporating a YouTube component (YouTube video) will automatically cause the Internet browser on the subject's information technology system to be represented by the respective YouTube component to download an illustration of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. More information about YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/en/. As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google are aware of the specific bottom of our site visited by the person concerned.
+If the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes by calling a sub-page containing a YouTube video, which specific bottom of our website the affected person visits. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and associated with the individual YouTube account.
+
+YouTube and Google will always receive information through the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is simultaneously logged into YouTube at the time of access to our website; this happens regardless of whether the person clicks on a YouTube video or not. If such transmission of this information to YouTube and Google is not wanted by the data subject, it can prevent the transmission by logging out of their YouTube account before calling our website.
+
+YouTube's privacy policy, available at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/, identifies the collection, processing, and use of personally identifiable information by YouTube and Google.
