What is this about?

This Privacy Policy fulfils the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This includes all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, your age, your address, your telephone number, your date of birth, your e-mail address, your IP address or your user behaviour when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot establish a connection to your person (or only with disproportionate effort), e.g. through anonymisation, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. the collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.

Stored personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no lawful reasons for further retention of the data. We will inform you in the individual processing operations about the specific storage periods or criteria for storage. Irrespective of this, we store your personal data in individual cases for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims and where statutory retention obligations exist.

Who receives my data?

We only pass on your personal data that we process on our website to third parties if this is necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes and is covered in the individual case by the legal basis (e.g. consent or the protection of legitimate interests). In addition, in individual cases we pass on personal data to third parties if this serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Possible recipients may then include, for example, law enforcement authorities, lawyers, auditors, courts, etc.

Where we use service providers for the operation of our website who process personal data on our behalf within the framework of processing on behalf pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR, these may be recipients of your personal data. Further information on the use of processors as well as web services can be found in the overview of the individual processing operations.

Do you use cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are sent by us to the browser of your end device during your visit to our website and stored there. As an alternative to the use of cookies, information may also be stored in the local storage of your browser. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies or local storage (technically necessary cookies). Other cookies, however, enable us to carry out various analyses, allowing us, for example, to recognise the browser you are using when you visit our website again and to transmit various information to us (non-essential cookies). With the help of cookies, we can, among other things, make our website more user-friendly and effective for you by, for example, tracking your use of our website and determining your preferred settings (e.g. country and language settings). Where third parties process information via cookies, they collect the information directly through your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device. They cannot execute programs and cannot contain viruses.

We provide information about the respective services for which we use cookies in the individual processing operations. Detailed information on the cookies used can be found in the cookie settings or in the Consent Manager of this website.

What rights do I have?

Subject to the conditions of the statutory provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the following rights as a data subject:

Data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, provided that you have supplied us with personal data on the basis of consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or on the basis of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR and this has been processed by us using automated procedures. You will receive your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or we will transmit the data directly to another controller, where technically feasible.
Objection pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR to the processing of your personal data where this is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. e, f GDPR and there are reasons arising from your particular situation or where the objection is directed against direct marketing. The right to object does not exist if overriding, compelling legitimate grounds for the processing are demonstrated or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Where the right to object does not exist for individual processing operations, this is indicated there.
Withdrawal pursuant to Art. 7 (3) GDPR of your consent granted, with effect for the future.
Complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR to a supervisory authority if you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. As a rule, you may contact the supervisory authority of your habitual residence, your place of work or the registered office of our company.

Below, we inform you which data we or the respective social network process from you in connection with accessing and using our fan pages/accounts.

Data that we process from you

If you contact us via Messenger or direct message through the respective social network, we generally process your user name through which you contact us and, where applicable, store other data provided by you insofar as this is necessary for processing/responding to your request.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR (processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller).

(Static) usage data that we recieve from the social networks

We receive statistics automatically provided via insight functionalities relating to our accounts. The statistics include, among other things, the total number of page views, likes, information on page activities and post interactions, reach, video views, as well as information on the proportion of male/female fans/followers.

The statistics contain only aggregated data and data not relating to individual persons. We are not able to identify you from this information.

What data the social networks process from you

You do not have to be a member of the respective social network in order to view the content of our fan pages or accounts, and accordingly no user account for the respective social network is required.

Please note, however, that when you access the respective social network, the social networks also collect and store data from website visitors without a user account (e.g. technical data in order to display the website to you) and use cookies and similar technologies, over which we have no influence whatsoever. Details can be found in the privacy policies of the respective social network (see the corresponding links below).

Where you wish to interact with the content on our fan pages/accounts, for example by commenting on, sharing or liking our posts, and/or if you wish to contact us via messenger functions, prior registration with the respective social network and the provision of personal data are required.

We have no influence over the data processing carried out by the social networks within the framework of your use. To the best of our knowledge, your data is stored and processed in particular in connection with the provision of the services of the respective social network, as well as for the analysis of user behaviour (using cookies, pixels/web beacons and similar technologies), on the basis of which interest-based advertising is displayed to you both within and outside the respective social network. It cannot be ruled out that your data may also be stored by the social networks outside the EU/EEA and disclosed to third parties.

Information including the exact scope and purposes of the processing of your personal data, the storage period/erasure, as well as policies on the use of cookies and similar technologies within the framework of registration and use of the social networks can be found in the privacy policies/cookie policies of the respective social networks.

Google DoubleClick

Type and scope of the processing

We have integrated components of DoubleClick by Google into our website. DoubleClick is a brand of Google under which, in particular, special online marketing solutions are marketed to advertising agencies and publishers. DoubleClick by Google transmits data to the DoubleClick server with every impression as well as with clicks or other activities.

Each of these data transmissions triggers a cookie request to the browser of the data subject. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick places a cookie in your browser.

DoubleClick uses a cookie ID that is required for carrying out the technical process. The cookie ID is required, for example, to display an advertisement in a browser. DoubleClick can also use the cookie ID to record which advertisements have already been displayed in a browser in order to avoid duplicate displays. Furthermore, the cookie ID enables DoubleClick to record conversions. Conversions are recorded, for example, when a user has previously been shown a DoubleClick advertisement and subsequently makes a purchase on the advertiser’s website using the same internet browser.

A DoubleClick cookie does not contain any personal data but may contain additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier is used to identify the campaigns with which you have already interacted on other websites. Within the scope of this service, Google obtains knowledge of data which Google also uses to prepare commission statements. Among other things, Google can determine that you have clicked on certain links on our website. In this case, your data is transferred to the operator of DoubleClick, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

What is this about?

This Privacy Policy fulfils the legal requirements regarding transparency in the processing of personal data. This includes all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address, IP address or user behaviour when visiting a website. Information that cannot be linked to you personally by us (or only with disproportionate effort), for example through anonymisation, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.

Stored personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been fulfilled and there are no legitimate reasons for further retention of the data. We inform you about the specific storage periods or criteria for storage in the individual processing operations. Regardless of this, we store your personal data in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and where statutory retention obligations exist.

Who receives my data?

We only disclose your personal data that we process on our website to third parties if this is necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes and is covered in the individual case by the legal basis (e.g. consent or the protection of legitimate interests). Furthermore, in individual cases we disclose personal data to third parties if this serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. Possible recipients may then include law enforcement authorities, lawyers, auditors, courts, etc.

Insofar as we use service providers for the operation of our website who process personal data on our behalf within the framework of data processing pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR, these may be recipients of your personal data. Further information on the use of processors and web services can be found in the overview of the individual processing operations.

Do you use cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are sent by us to your device’s browser and stored there during your visit to our website. As an alternative to the use of cookies, information can also be stored in your browser’s local storage. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies or local storage (technically necessary cookies). Other cookies, on the other hand, enable us to carry out various analyses, allowing us, for example, to recognise the browser you use when you revisit our website and to transmit various pieces of information to us (non-essential cookies). With the help of cookies, we can, among other things, make our website more user-friendly and effective for you by tracking your use of our website and determining your preferred settings (e.g. country and language settings). If third parties process information via cookies, they collect the information directly through your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your device. They cannot execute programs or contain viruses.

What rights do I have?

Under the conditions of the legal provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the following rights as a data subject:

Right of access pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR to the data stored about you in the form of meaningful information on the details of the processing as well as a copy of your data;
Right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR of inaccurate or incomplete data stored by us;
Right to erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR of the data stored by us, provided that the processing is not necessary for exercising the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR if the accuracy of the data is disputed, the processing is unlawful, we no longer need the data and you oppose its erasure because you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR.
Right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, provided that you have supplied us with personal data on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or on the basis of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR and this data has been processed by us using automated procedures. You will receive your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or we will transfer the data directly to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible.
Right to object pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR to the processing of your personal data where this is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. e or f GDPR and there are reasons arising from your particular situation or where the objection is directed against direct marketing. The right to object does not exist if compelling legitimate grounds for the processing can be demonstrated or if the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Where the right to object does not exist for individual processing operations, this is indicated there.
Withdrawal of your consent pursuant to Art. 7 (3) GDPR with effect for the future.
Right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR with a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. As a rule, you may contact the supervisory authority at your habitual place of residence, your place of work or our registered office.

What data the social networks process from you

In order to view the content of our fan pages or accounts, you do not have to be a member of the respective social network and, in this respect, no user account for the respective social network is required.

If you wish to interact with the content on our fan pages/accounts, for example by commenting on, sharing or liking our posts/contributions and/or by contacting us via messenger functions, prior registration with the respective social network and the provision of personal data are required.

We have no influence over the data processing carried out by the social networks within the scope of your use of them. To the best of our knowledge, your data is stored and processed in particular in connection with the provision of the services of the respective social network, as well as for the analysis of user behaviour (using cookies, pixels/web beacons and similar technologies), on the basis of which interest-based advertising is displayed to you both within and outside the respective social network.

Due to the fact that the actual data processing is carried out by the provider of the social network, our access to your data is limited. Only the provider of the social network is authorised to have full access to your data. Consequently, only the provider can directly implement and carry out appropriate measures to fulfil your user rights (request for information, request for deletion, objection, etc.).

Google DoubleClick

Type and scope of the processing

We have integrated components of DoubleClick by Google on our website. DoubleClick is a Google brand under which specialised online marketing solutions are primarily marketed to advertising agencies and publishers. DoubleClick by Google transmits data to the DoubleClick server with every impression as well as with clicks or other activities.

Each of these data transmissions triggers a cookie request to the browser of the data subject. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick places a cookie in your browser.

DoubleClick uses a cookie ID that is required for the technical process. The cookie ID is required, for example, to display an advertisement in a browser. DoubleClick can also use the cookie ID to determine which advertisements have already been displayed in a browser in order to avoid duplicate advertisements. Furthermore, the cookie ID enables DoubleClick to record conversions. Conversions are recorded, for example, when a user has previously been shown a DoubleClick advertisement and subsequently makes a purchase on the advertiser’s website using the same internet browser.

A DoubleClick cookie does not contain any personal data but may contain additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier serves to identify the campaigns with which you have already interacted on other websites. As part of this service, Google obtains knowledge of data that Google also uses to prepare commission statements. Among other things, Google can determine that you have clicked certain links on our website. In this case, your data is transferred to the operator of DoubleClick, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Further information and the applicable privacy policy of DoubleClick by Google can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy abgerufen werden.

Among other things, the cookie is used to place and display user-relevant advertisements and to create or improve reports on advertising campaigns. Furthermore, the cookie serves to prevent the same advertisement from being displayed multiple times. Each time one of the individual pages of our website containing a DoubleClick component is accessed, your browser is automatically prompted by the respective DoubleClick component to transmit data to Google for the purposes of online advertising and commission accounting. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data. If you do not give your consent, you may visit our website without restrictions; however, not all functions may be fully available.

We intend to transfer personal data to third countries outside the European Economic Area, in particular the USA.
