Scope of the processing of personal data
As a matter of principle, we collect and use personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our contents and services. The collection and use of our users’ personal data regularly only takes place with the user’s consent. An exception applies in those cases in which it is not possible to obtain prior consent for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

  • Consent
    Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.
  • Performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures
    When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
  • Legal obligation
    Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
  • Vital Interests
    In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
  • Legitimate Interest
    If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Rights of the data subject
If personal data is processed by us, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you are entitled to the following rights:

Right to information
You may request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us. If there is such processing, you may request information from the controller about the following:

  • the purposes for which the personal data are processed,
  • the categories of personal data which are processed,
  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed,
  • the envisaged duration of the storage of the personal data concerning you or, if specific information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage period,
  • the existence of a right to rectify or erase personal data concerning you, a right to have processing restricted by the controller or a right to object to such processing,
  • the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority,
  • any available information on the origin of the data, if the personal data are not collected from the data subject,
  • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject. You have the right to request information on whether personal data concerning you are transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

Right to rectification
You have a right to rectification and/or completion, insofar as the personal data processed concerning you are inaccurate or incomplete. The controller must make the rectification without undue delay.

Right to restriction of processing
You may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you under the following conditions:

  • if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data,
  • the processing is unlawful and you object to the erasure of the personal data and request instead the restriction of the use of the personal data,
  • the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you need it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or
  • if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the controller’s legitimate grounds override your grounds.

Where the processing of personal data relating to you has been restricted, such data may only be processed – apart from being stored – with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person. If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

Right to erasure
You may request the controller to erase the personal data concerning you without undue delay and the controller is obliged to erase such data without undue delay if one of the following reasons applies:

  • The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  • You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  • You object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
  • The personal data concerning you have been processed unlawfully.
  • The erasure of the personal data concerning you is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation.
  • The personal data concerning you has been collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

The right to erasure does not apply insofar as the processing is necessary:

  • for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information,
  • for compliance with a legal obligation,
  • for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller,
  • for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) of the GDPR,
  • for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Right to information
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed of these recipients by the controller.

Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data has been provided. The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Right to object
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.

Right to revoke your consent
You have the right to revoke your consent at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

Automated decision in individual cases including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

Right to complain to a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.

Provision of the website and creation of log files
Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer. The following data is collected:

  • Information about the type of browser and the version used.
  • The user’s operating system
  • The user’s Internet service provider
  • The IP address of the user
  • Date and time of access
  • Websites from which the user’s system accesses our website
  • Websites that are accessed by the user’s system via our website.

The log files contain IP addresses or other data that enable an assignment to a user. This could be the case, for example, if the link to the website from which the user arrives at the website or the link to the website to which the user goes contains personal data. This data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session. The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context. These purposes are also our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.

Equally, if you have consented to it, or where there we have a legal obligation to do so or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g., when using agents, hosting providers, tax, business and legal advisors, customer care, accounting, billing and similar services that allow us to perform our contractual obligations, administrative tasks and duties efficiently and effectively).

Integration of services and contents of third parties
We use within our online offer on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), content or services offered by third-party providers in order to integrate their content and services.

This always requires that the third-party providers of this content are aware of your IP address, since the content or service could not send to your browser without the IP address. The IP address is thus required for the display of this content, and we endeavor to use providers that only use your IP address for the delivery of the content or services. However, Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. The “pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information about the use of our online offer, as well as be linked to such information from other sources.

The below list shows our third-Party service providers. This of course is non exhaustive and will be updated alongside the changes we implement on our website.

Ticket Tailor
We use Ticket Tailor from Zimma Ltd, Unit 6, 14A Andre St, London, E8 2AA. UK to manage events and other customer relationship management tasks. You can read more about how Ticket Tailor uses your Personal Information here:  https://www.tickettailor.com/privacy-policy/

YouTube
On our website, we implement videos of the video portal “YouTube” of the company Google Inc.
Doing so, we use the “extended data protection mode” option provided by Google. When you call up a page that has an embedded video, a connection is established to Google’s servers and in the process the content is displayed on the website by notifying your browser. According to Google’s information, in “extended data protection mode” your data – in particular which of our Internet pages you have visited as well as device-specific information including the IP address – is only transmitted to the YouTube server in the USA when you watch the video. By clicking on the video, you consent to this transmission.
If you are logged in to Google at the same time, this information will be assigned to your YouTube member account. You can prevent this by logging out of your member account before visiting our website.

SoundCloud
Plugins of the social network SoundCloud from SoundCloud Limited, Berners House, 47-48 Berners Street, London W1T 3NF, UK may be integrated on our pages.
When you visit our pages, a direct connection is established between your browser and the SoundCloud server after the plugin is activated. SoundCloud thereby receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. You can find more information on this in SoundCloud’s privacy policy here.

Simplecast
We use the podcast hosting service Simplecast from the provider Simplecast.com, 24 4th Street, Suite 1007, Troy, NY 12180, USA. The podcasts are loaded by Simplecast or transmitted via Simplecast. Simplecast processes IP addresses and device information to enable podcast downloads/playbacks and to determine statistical data such as call-up figures. This data is anonymized or pseudonymized before being stored in Simplecast’s database, unless it is necessary for the provision of the podcasts. Further information and objection options can be found in Simplecast’s privacy policy.   

Vimeo
We have integrated videos from the provider Vimeo LLC and some of our pages contain videos from Vimeo. When you call up such a page on our website, a connection is established to the Vimeo servers. This transmits to the Vimeo server which of our Internet pages you have visited. If you are logged in as a Vimeo member, Vimeo assigns this information to your personal user account. When you click on the start button of a video, this information can also be assigned to an existing user account. You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your Vimeo user account before using our website and deleting the corresponding cookies from Vimeo.

Google Fonts
We use Google Fonts on our website to display external fonts. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”. To enable the display of certain fonts on our website, a connection to the Google server in the USA is established when our website is accessed. The connection to Google established when you call up our website enables Google to determine which website sent your request and to which IP address the display of the font is to be transmitted.

Social plugins
We use so-called social plugins of various social networks in our online offer. When using the plugins, your internet browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective social network. This provides the respective provider with the information that your internet browser has accessed the corresponding page of our online offer, even if you do not have a user account with the provider or are not currently logged in to it. Log files (including the IP address) are transmitted by your Internet browser directly to a server of the respective provider and may be stored there. The provider or its server may be located outside the EEA (e.g., in the USA).

The plugins represent independent extensions of the social network providers. We therefore have no influence on the scope of the data collected and stored by the providers of the social networks via the plugins.

For the purpose and scope of the collection, further processing and use of the data by the social network, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective social network.

If you do not want the providers of the social networks to receive and possibly store or further use data about this online offer, you should not use the respective plugins.

Amazon Affiliate Program
On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we are participants in the Amazon EU partner programme, which was designed to provide a medium for websites, by means of which advertising costs can be earned by placing advertisements and links to Amazon.de. Amazon uses cookies to be able to trace the origin of orders. Among other things, Amazon may recognize that you have clicked the affiliate link on this site. Further information on Amazon’s use of data can be found in Amazon’s privacy policy (here).

Final provisions
We reserve the right to update this privacy policy from time to time in order to take into account a changing legal situation or the expansion of the functional scope of the platform.
