We very much appreciate your interest in our company. Data protection has a very high priority for the management of Moltke Sports GmbH. A use of the web pages of the Moltke Sports GmbH is basically possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a person wishes to make use of specific services of our company via our Internet pages, processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, data subjects must generally consent to the processing of their data.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the applicable country-specific data protection regulations of Moltke Sports GmbH. In this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data that we collect, use and process. Moreover, this data protection declaration will also inform affected persons as to their rights.

Moltke Sports GmbH, as the responsible party for the processing of personal data, has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures in order to ensure that all personal data processed via this website is protected as completely as possible. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmission is in principle subject to security vulnerabilities, and so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every person concerned is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Definitions

The Moltke Sports GmbH privacy policy is based on the terms used by the European guideline and regulation provider when the general data protection regulation (GDPR) was issued. Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand, both for the public and for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

In this privacy policy, we use the following terms, among others:

a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the “data subject”). Identifiable refers to a person who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data subject
The data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the data controller.

c) Processing
Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, deletion or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing involves tagging stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) The data controller or controller responsible for the processing
The data controller or the person responsible for processing means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or any other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are laid down by Union law or by the law of the Member States, the controller or controllers may be designated in accordance with Union law or with the law of the Member States on the basis of certain criteria.

h) Processor
A third-party processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the data controller.

i) Recipient
The recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body to which the personal data is disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

j) Third party
Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

3. Cookies

The internet pages of the Moltke Sports GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows websites and servers that have been visited to distinguish the individual’s browser from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A particular web browser can be recognised and identified by the unique cookie ID.

The use of cookies enables Moltke Sports GmbH to provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without cookies.

The information and offers on our website can be optimised for the user using a cookie. Cookies enable us, as already mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website because the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system remembers the information. Another example is the cookie of a shopping basket in the online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping basket using a cookie.

The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting using the Internet browser used and thus permanently prevent cookies from being used. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time using an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the person concerned deactivates the setting of cookies on the Internet browser used, not all functions of our Internet site may be fully usable.

4. Collection of general data and information

Moltke Sports GmbH’s website collects a series of general data and information every time a data subject or automated system accesses the website. This general data and information are stored in the server’s log files. We may record (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-pages which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time the website was accessed, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service providers of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our IT systems.

When using this general data and information, Moltke Sports GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the contents of our website, (2) optimise the contents of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated by it statistically with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Registration on our website

The data subject has the opportunity to register on the controller’s website by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller in this process is determined by the input form in question that is used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject shall be collected and stored solely for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for its transfer to one or more processors, such as a parcel service, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller.

By registering on the controller’s website, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject, as well as the date and time of registration are also stored. The background to why this data is stored is that only in this way can misuse of our services be prevented, and, if necessary, these data make it possible to get to the bottom of offences that are committed. In this respect, it is necessary to store this data to protect the controller. This data will not be passed on to third parties unless this is required by law or for the purposes of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject, in which personal data is voluntary provided, is intended to enable the data controller to offer the data subject content or services that may only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to delete it completely from the database of the controller.

The data controller will inform any data subject at any time, upon request, of which personal data relating to the data subject are stored. Furthermore, the data controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or notice of the data subject, provided that there is no legal obligation to retain the data in question. All employees of the data controller are available for the data subject to contact in this regard.

6. Subscription to our newsletter

Users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter on the Moltke Sports GmbH website. The input screen used when ordering the newsletter determines what personal data is transmitted to the data controller.

Moltke Sports GmbH informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals of offers made by the company by means of a newsletter. Our company newsletter can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address entered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter mailing using the double-opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to check whether the owner of the email address has authorised the receipt of the newsletter as the data subject.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system used by the person concerned at the time of registration assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to trace the (possible) misuse of a data subject’s e-mail address at a later point in time and therefore serves the legal protection of the responsible person.

The personal data collected in the context of registering for the newsletter will be used exclusively to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be notified by email if this is necessary for operation of the newsletter service or registration, as might be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter or technical changes. The personal data collected in the context of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. Subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given us for sending the newsletter, can be revoked at any time. You will find a corresponding link in every newsletter for the purpose of revoking your consent. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller, or to inform the controller of this in another way.

7. Newsletter tracking

The Moltke Sports GmbH newsletter contains so-called counting pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in emails that are sent in HTML format to enable recording and analysis of log data. This allows statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. By using the embedded tracking pixel, Moltke Sports GmbH can detect whether and when an email was opened by the data subject and which links in the email were accessed by the data subject.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the controller for the purpose of optimising dispatch of the newsletter and to adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of data subjects to an even better degree. The data will not be disclosed to third parties. The data subject is entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure. Once consent is revoked, this personal data will be deleted by the data controller. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is automatically interpreted by Moltke Sports GmbH as revocation of consent.

8. It is possible to contact us via the website

Due to legal regulations, Moltke Sports GmbH’s website contains information that enables customers to contact our company quickly via electronic means, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general so-called electronic mail address (email address). If a data subject contacts the data controller by email or through a contact form, the personal data provided by the data subject will be saved automatically. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. We will not disclose your information to third parties.

9. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject.

If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

10. Rights of the data subject

a) Right to confirm Any person concerned has the right granted by the European directive and regulatory authority to require the controller to confirm whether personal data relating to him or her is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, they may contact an employee of the data controller at any time.

d) Right of deletion (right to be forgotten) Any person affected by the processing of personal data shall have the right granted by the European directives and regulations to require the controller to immediately delete the personal data concerning him or her, if any of the following Reasons and if the processing is not required:

The personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
The data subject withdraws his/her consent to the processing pursuant to Art. 6 Paragraph 1 letter a GDPR or Art. 9 paragraph 2 letter a GDPR and there is no other legal basis for processing.

The employee of the Moltke Sports GmbH will arrange the necessary in individual cases.

e) Right to limit processing Any person affected by the processing of personal data shall have the right granted by the European directive and regulatory authority to require the controller to restrict the processing if one of the following conditions is met:

If any one of the above mentioned conditions is fulfilled and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by Moltke Sports GmbH, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of the Moltke Sports GmbH will initiate the restriction of the processing.

f) Right to data transferability Any data subject has the right to receive a copy of the personal data they have provided the data controller in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

11 Privacy policy on use and usage of Facebook

The responsible person has integrated components from Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is an Internet-based social meeting place, an online community that usually enables users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enables the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook enables users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friendship requests, among other things.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The entity responsible for the processing of personal data, if the entity in question resides outside the US or Canada, is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

On each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data processor and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the Facebook component in question causes the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject to automatically download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=en_DE. As part of this technical process, Facebook receives information about the specific sub-page of our website visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is simultaneously logged in to Facebook, Facebook recognises which specific sub-page of our website they visited for each visit to our website and during the entire duration of the respective visit to our website. This information is collected through the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the appropriate Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the “Like” button, or they make a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

Facebook receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website whenever they are logged in to Facebook at the same time as accessing our website; this happens regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, they can prevent it from being transmitted by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website.

The data policy published by Facebook available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/ provides information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains what setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress the transfer of data to Facebook.

12. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)

The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is surveying, collecting and analysing data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data on the website from which a data subject has accessed a website (“referrer”), which sub-pages of the website have been accessed or how often and for how long a sub-page has been viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimise a website and for cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The data controller uses the suffix “_gat._anonymizeIp” for the web analysis via Google Analytics. Using this addition, Google shortens and anonymises the IP address of the data subject when accessing our Internet pages from a Member State of the European Union or from another signatory state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports showing us the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the person in question. Cookies have already been explained above. The placement of this cookie enables Google to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission statements.

Cookies are used to store personal information, such as the time of access, the location from which access came and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Whenever you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may disclose personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

The data subject can prevent cookies being set by our website at any time, as already described above, by using an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and therefore permanently object to cookies being set. Setting the Internet browser used in this way would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programmes.

Furthermore, it is possible for the data subject to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information on visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered a contradiction by Google. If the data subject’s information technology system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later time, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within their control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

Additional information and Google’s privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

Data protection provisions related to the use of Google+

The data controller has integrated the Google+ button as a component on this website. Google+ is a social network. A social network is an Internet-based social meeting place, an online community that usually enables users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enables the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Google+ enables users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friendship requests, among other things.

The operating company for the services of Google+ is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the person responsible for processing and on which a Google+ button has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google+ button to download a representation of the corresponding Google+ button from Google. As part of this technical process, Google receives information about the specific sub-page of our website visited by the data subject. More detailed information about Google+ is available at https://developers.google.com/+/.

If the data subject is simultaneously logged in to Google+, Google recognises which specific sub-page of our website the data subject visited for each visit to our website by them and during the entire duration of the respective visit to our website. This information is collected by the Google+ button and assigned by Google to the respective Google+ account of the data subject.

If the data subject clicks one of the Google+ buttons integrated on our website and thereby makes a Google+1 recommendation, Google assigns this information to their personal Google+ user account and stores this personal data. Google stores the Google+1 recommendation of the data subject and makes it publicly available in accordance with the conditions accepted by the data subject. A Google+1 recommendation made by the person concerned on this website will subsequently be stored and processed together with other personal data, such as the name of the Google+1 account used by the data subject and the photo stored in this account in other Google services, such as the search engine results of the Google search engine, the Google account of the data subject or in other places, such as on websites or in connection with advertisements. Furthermore, Google is able to link the visit to this website with other personal data stored by Google. Google also records this personal information for the purpose of improving or optimising the various services provided by Google.

The Google+ button will always inform Google that the data subject has visited our website if they are logged in to Google+ at the same time as accessing our website; this happens regardless of whether the data subject clicks the Google+ button or not.

If the data subject does not want personal data to be transmitted to Google, they can prevent such transmission by logging out of their Google+ account before accessing our web page.

Additional information and Google’s privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/. Additional information from Google regarding the Google +1 button can be found at https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy.

14. Privacy Policy for Use and Use of Jetpack for WordPress

The data controller has integrated Jetpack on this website. Jetpack is a WordPress plug-in that provides additional functionality to the operator of an Internet site based on WordPress. Among other things, Jetpack allows the website operator an overview of the visitors to the site. By displaying related contributions and publications or the ability to share content on the site, it is also possible to increase visitor numbers. In addition, security features are integrated into Jetpack so that a Jetpack-using website is better protected against brute-force attacks. Jetpack also optimises and speeds up the loading of images built into the website.

The operating company of the Jetpack plug-in for WordPress is Automattic Inc., 132 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. The operating company uses the tracking technology of Quantcast Inc., 201 Third Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.

Jetpack places a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. Cookies have already been explained above. Each time one of the pages of this website is accessed by the data controller and a Jetpack component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Jetpack component for analysis purposes to submit to Automattic. As part of this technical process, Automattic learns about data that will subsequently be used to compile an overview of the site visits. The data obtained are used to analyse the behaviour of the data subject who accessed the controller’s website and are evaluated with the aim of optimising the website. The data collected through the Jetpack component will not be used to identify the data subject without prior, explicit and explicit consent of the data subject. The data is also noted in Quantcast. Quantcast uses the data for the same purposes as Automattic.

The data subject can prevent cookies being set by our website at any time, as already described above, by using an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and therefore permanently object to cookies being set. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Automattic / Quantcast from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, cookies already set by Automattic can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing detection of the data generated by the Jetpack cookie for use of this website and the processing of this data by Automattic / Quantcast. For this, the person concerned must press the opt-out button under the link https://www.quantcast.com/opt-out/, which sets an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie set against the objection will be placed on the information technology system used by the data subject. If the cookies on the affected person’s system are deleted after an appeal, the data subject must revisit the link and set a new opt-out cookie.

However, by setting the opt-out cookie, there is the possibility that the controller’s internet sites may no longer be fully usable by the data subject.

15. Data protection regulations on the use and application of Twitter

The data controller has integrated components from Twitter into this website. Twitter is a multilingual public microblogging service on which users can publish and distribute so-called tweets, i.e. short messages limited to 280 characters. These short messages are available to everyone, including people who are not registered on Twitter. The tweets are also displayed to the so-called followers of the respective user. Followers are other Twitter users who follow a user’s tweets. Furthermore, Twitter makes it possible to address a broad audience via hashtags, links or retweets.

Twitter is operated by Twitter, Inc, 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website is called up, which is operated by the person responsible for processing and on which a Twitter component (Twitter button) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the person’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Twitter component to download a representation of the corresponding Twitter component from Twitter. Further information on the Twitter buttons can be found at https://about.twitter.com/de/resources/buttons As part of this technical process Twitter receives information about the specific sub-page of our website visited by the data subject. The purpose of integrating the Twitter component is to enable our users to disseminate the content of this website, to make this website known in the digital world and to increase our visitor numbers.

If the data subject is simultaneously logged in to Twitter, Twitter recognizes with each visit to our website by the data subject and during the entire duration of the respective stay on our website, which specific underside of our website visits the data subject. This information is collected by the Twitter component and assigned to the respective Twitter account of the person concerned by Twitter. If the person concerned presses one of the Twitter buttons integrated on our website, the data and information thus transmitted will be assigned to the personal Twitter user account of the person concerned and stored and processed by Twitter.

Twitter receives information via the Twitter component that the person concerned has visited our website whenever the person concerned is logged on to Twitter at the same time as accessing our website; this happens regardless of whether the person concerned clicks on the Twitter component or not. If such a transfer of this information to Twitter is not wanted by the data subject, he/she can prevent the transfer by logging out of his/her Twitter account before accessing our website.

Twitter’s current privacy policy is available at https://twitter.com/privacy?lang=en.

The company AFFILITIX Services GmbH, Friedrichstraße 171, 10117 Berlin, (hereinafter referred to as “AFFILITIX”) uses the personal data of the user in compliance with the data protection regulations applicable to the contract. AFFILITIX uses this data in the scope required for the establishment, design or amendment of the contractual relationship. AFFILITIX uses, collects and processes this data in an automated process.

It is pointed out that AFFILITIX acts as a vicarious agent in the case of the mediation of ticket purchases between organisers and customers and insofar as a data collection also takes place at the organiser.

Otherwise, AFFILITIX will not disclose the user’s data to third parties unless the user has given his express consent. The user can revoke his consent at any time without giving reasons to AFFILITIX. The user has at any time the right to information about the data stored regarding his person, their origin and recipient as well as the purpose of the storage.

As part of the use of the ticket shop, so-called cookies are used. Cookies are small text files which are stored on the hard disk of the user. Cookies are used for the so-called shopping basket function as well as for the production of statistics on the use of the ticket shop.

17. Legal basis of the processing

Art 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a particular processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case for example with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I letter b GDPR. The same applies to such processing processes that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, for example to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I letter c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured at our company and their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 I (d) GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I (f) GDPR. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not take priority. We are allowed to carry out such processing procedures because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, they took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the data controller (recital 47 (2), GDPR).

18. Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business operations for the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

19. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criterion used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the deadline, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted if it is no longer required for fulfilling the contract or for initiating a contract.

20. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the person in question to provide personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (eg, tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (eg, information on the contractual partner). In some cases, it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded if a data subject provides us with personal data which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the person concerned is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with him/her. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Prior to the provision of personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contractually or is required for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and about what consequences failure to provide the personal data would have.

21. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
