2. What is it about?

This privacy policy fulfils the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is any 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 for which we cannot (or only with disproportionate effort) establish a connection to your person, 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 legitimate reasons for further storage of the data. We will inform you of the specific storage periods or criteria for storage in the individual processing operations. Irrespective of this, we store your personal data in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and in the event of statutory retention obligations.

3. 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 by the legal basis (e.g. consent or protection of legitimate interests) in individual cases. In individual cases, we also pass on personal data to third parties if this serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. Possible recipients may then be, for example, 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 as part of order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, they 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.

4. do you use cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are sent by us to the browser of your end device and stored there when you visit our website. As an alternative to the use of cookies, information can 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, on the other hand, enable us to carry out various analyses so that we are able, 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, for example 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 via your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device. They cannot execute programmes or 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 data the social networks process from you
In order to view the content of our fan pages or accounts, you do not need to be a member of the respective social network and no user account is required for the respective social network.
Please note, however, that the social networks also collect and store data from website visitors without a user account when the respective social network is accessed (e.g. technical data in order to be able to display the website to you) and use cookies and similar technologies, over which we have no influence whatsoever. Details on this can be found in the privacy policy of the respective social network (see the corresponding links above).

If you wish to interact with the content on our fan pages/accounts, e.g. comment on, share or like our posts/contributions and/or wish to contact us via messenger functions, you must first register with the respective social network and provide personal data.

We have no influence on the data processing by the social networks in the context 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 advertising based on your interests is displayed both within and outside the respective social network. It cannot be ruled out that your data will also be stored by the social networks outside the EU/EEA and passed on to third parties.

Information on the exact scope and purposes of the processing of your personal data, the storage period/deletion and guidelines on the use of cookies and similar technologies in the context of registration and use of the social networks can be found in the data protection provisions/cookie guidelines of the social networks.
