3. definitions

This privacy policy is based on the terms used in the GDPR. To simplify matters, we would like to explain some important terms in this context:

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one 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.

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.

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

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

4. data for the provision of the website and the creation of log files

When you access our website in your browser, we collect technically necessary data via server log files, which are automatically transmitted to our server, including

  • Date and time of access
  • IP address
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Websites that were accessed via the website (referrer)
  • Visited page on our website; amount of data transferred
  • Information about the browser type and version used
  • Operating system
  • Access status (e.g. whether the website could be accessed without any problems or whether you received an error message)
  • Use of website functions
  • Access frequency of the individual website
  • Volume of data transferred
  • other websites that you visit from this website, either by clicking on a link on this website or by directly entering the domain in the input bar in the same window of your browser

The temporary storage of the data is necessary for the course of a website visit in order to be able to display our website to you. This processing is technically necessary to ensure the functionality of the website and the security of the information technology systems. The legal basis for processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR in order to guarantee the provision, security and stability of our website.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. The log files are stored for up to 7 days directly and only accessible to administrators. After that, they are only available indirectly via the reconstruction of backup tapes and are permanently deleted after four weeks.

To provide our online services, we use storage space, computing capacity and software that we rent or otherwise obtain from the server provider DomainFactory GmbH, (c/o WeWork, Neuturmstrasse 5, 80331 Munich, Germany) (web host). We have concluded an order processing contract (AVV) with the above-mentioned provider. This is a contract prescribed by data protection law, which ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f. GDPR in order to guarantee the provision, security and stability of our website.

5 Technically necessary cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website.

Information is stored in the cookie that results in each case in connection with the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity.

On the one hand, the use of cookies serves to make the use of our website more pleasant for you. For example, we use session cookies to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a specified period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognised that you have already visited us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our offer for you. These cookies enable us to automatically recognise that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.

6. contact form

When contacting us (e.g. by contact form, email, telephone or via social media) and in the context of existing user and business relationships, the information of the enquiring persons is processed insofar as this is necessary to answer the contact enquiries and any requested measures. Data such as:

  • Contact details (email address, telephone number, name)
  • Company data (company name)
  • Content data (contact content)
  • Metadata (IP address, identification numbers, browser data, etc.)

transmitted to us.

If you contact us as part of an existing contractual relationship or contact us in advance for information about our range of services or our other services, the personal data you provide will be processed for the purpose of processing and responding to your contact enquiry in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. Otherwise to safeguard our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR for the purpose of responding appropriately to customer/contact enquiries.

We delete your personal data as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of contact enquiries, this is generally the case when it is clear from the circumstances that the specific matter in question has been conclusively dealt with. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods under commercial or tax law, remain unaffected.

8.1 Newsletter tracking

In addition, you can also give your consent for us to evaluate your user behaviour when sending the newsletter. Our newsletters contain so-called tracking links that enable us to analyse the behaviour of newsletter recipients. For example, we can analyse how many recipients have opened the newsletter message and how often which link in the newsletter was clicked on. This enables us to statistically analyse the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. The personal data collected through the tracking links is stored and evaluated by us in order to optimise the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to your interests.

All statistical data collected in connection with tracking is automatically deleted after three years.

You can object to this tracking at any time by clicking on the separate link provided in every email or by informing us via another contact method as described above and withdrawing your consent. The information will be stored for as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we may store the data purely statistically and anonymously.

9 Third-party tools

9.1 Consent management via consent management platform Cookiebot

We use the consent management service Cookiebot from Usercentrics A/S, (Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark; hereinafter Usercentrics). This enables us to obtain and manage the consent of website users for data processing.

When you visit our website or a sub-website for the first time, you will be shown a "cookie banner". There you will be informed about the individual cookies that we use. You can find out the name of each individual cookie, the provider, the purpose of processing and the storage period.

Our cookie banner informs you about the specific cookies we use. In addition, we give you the opportunity to decide whether you want to consent to the setting of non-essential cookies. The following are processed

  • the IP address of the connection you are using (in anonymised form)
  • the description of the web browser and operating system used
  • the language used by your browser and operating system
  • the address of the website on which you give your consent
  • the date and time of your consent
  • the country from which you make your request,
  • a pseudonym used to distinguish different users,
  • your consent status with regard to the cookies and similar technologies used by us or with regard to the services used, which serves as proof of your consent

If we use cookies and similar technologies as part of the integration of the service or if data is stored on your end device or read from there by the service, this is done in accordance with Section 25 (2) TDDDG. Subsequent data processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. We have an overriding legitimate interest in using the cookie banner, which enables us to obtain the legally required consent for the use of non-essential cookies and to fulfil our duty to provide information regarding cookies.

The cookie banner saves the preferences until you reset or change them. Otherwise, the key and the consent status are stored in the browser for 12 months using the "CookieConsent" cookie.

Usercentrics is the recipient of your personal data and acts as a processor for us. The processing takes place in the European Union. Further information on objection and removal options vis-à-vis Usercentrics can be found at: https://www.cookiebot.com/de/privacy-policy/

9.2 Google Ads & Conversion Tracking

Our website uses Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) from Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA; hereinafter Google). In the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA), the services are provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter referred to as Google).

Google Ads enables us to draw attention to our offers with the help of advertising material on external websites and to determine how successful individual advertising measures are. This helps us to show you adverts that are of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.

As part of Google Ads, we use what is known as conversion tracking. The advertising material is delivered by Google via so-called "AdServers". For this purpose, we use so-called AdServer cookies, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of adverts or clicks by users, can be measured. When you click on an advert placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify the user. These cookies enable Google to recognise your web browser. If you visit certain pages of our website when the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that you have clicked on the specific ad and have been redirected to this page.

Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Ads customers. The following information is usually stored as analysis values for the cookie: unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed). The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Ads customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their advert and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your Internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The legal basis for the use of Google Ads & Conversion Tracking is the voluntary and revocable consent given by you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by making the corresponding changes or adjustments in your cookie settings.

By integrating the services on our websites, data is transmitted to the above-mentioned recipients and processed there for as long as is necessary to fulfil the stated purposes.

We have concluded an order processing contract with the provider. This is a contract prescribed by data protection law, which ensures that the provider processes your personal data only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR. In cases where there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission, we have agreed other suitable guarantees with the data recipients within the meaning of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR have been agreed. Unless otherwise stated, these are standard contractual clauses (SCCs) of the European Commission in accordance with Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021.

The personal data is also transferred to the USA. The European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 (3) GDPR for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. On the basis of this decision, data transfers to organisations based in the USA that are certified accordingly are permitted. Google is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Google is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and is therefore committed to complying with appropriate data protection standards.

In the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA), the services are provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter referred to as Google).

With Google Ads Remarketing, we can assign people who interact with our online offer to specific target groups in order to subsequently display interest-based advertising in the Google advertising network (remarketing or retargeting).

Furthermore, the advertising target groups created with Google Ads Remarketing can be linked to Google's cross-device functions. In this way, interest-based, personalised advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behaviour on one device (e.g. mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g. tablet or PC).

If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalised advertising messages can be displayed on every device on which you sign in with your Google account.

To support this function, Google collects authenticated user IDs that are temporarily linked to our Google Ads data in order to define and create target groups for cross-device advertising.

The legal basis for the use of Google Ads Remarketing is the voluntary and revocable consent given by you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by making the appropriate changes or adjustments in your cookie settings.

We have concluded an order processing contract with the provider.

Google AdSense uses so-called "cookies", i.e. text files that are stored on your computer and are used to display adverts on our website that match our content and your interests. Google AdSense also uses so-called web beacons (invisible graphics). These web beacons allow information about visitor traffic on our pages to be statistically analysed for online marketing purposes.

The information generated by cookies and web beacons about the use of our website (including your IP address) and the delivery of advertising formats is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This information may be passed on to third parties by Google. However, Google will not merge your IP address with other data that Google may have stored about you.

The controller within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR is

Meta Platforms Ireland Limited
Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland

The agreement on joint responsibility pursuant to Art. 26 para. 1 sentence 2 GDPR is available at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum

We use Meta Pixel for marketing and optimisation purposes, in particular to place relevant and interesting ads for you on Facebook and thus improve our offer, make it more interesting for you as a user and avoid annoying ads. All information collected by the cookie is forwarded to Meta and allows Meta to draw conclusions about your user behaviour. If you are registered on a Meta platform/service, Meta can associate this visit with you. Even if you are not registered on a Meta platform/service or are not logged in, there is a possibility that Meta will receive your IP address and other identifying features and store them in an assignable manner.

When you access our website via your browser, the built-in Meta pixel initiates cookie storage in your system if you have given your consent. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by making the corresponding changes or adjustments in your cookie settings.

We only receive non-personal data from Meta that is used for the purpose of optimising and measuring the success of interest-based advertisements and events. Further information regarding the data processing for which Meta is responsible can be found, for example, in the following sources of information:

Meta Terms of Use: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/update

Data policy: https://de-de.facebook.com/privacy/explanation

By integrating the services on our websites, data is transmitted to the above-mentioned recipients and processed there for as long as is necessary to achieve the stated purposes.

Since personal data may be transferred by Meta to affiliated companies and sub-service providers in countries outside the EU and the EEA, further protective mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection required by the GDPR. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR with regard to companies with certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Meta Platforms, Inc. is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and is therefore committed to complying with appropriate data protection standards, which can be viewed at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search.

9.9. incert

We use the system of the company INCERT eTourismus GmbH & Co KG (Leonfeldner Strasse 328, A-4040 Linz, Austria; hereinafter referred to as incert) to process orders for vouchers. It enables the automated online sale of vouchers as well as the individual personalisation of vouchers with greetings, personal images and videos.

The following information is required to process orders:

  • Salutation
  • First name and surname
  • postal address
  • e-mail address
  • Partial telephone number
  • Company name
  • VAT no.

Processing is carried out for the purpose of providing contractual services or for the fulfilment of pre-contractual services on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR (ordering vouchers) and Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR (legally required retention periods for accounting documents). The corresponding software is used on the legal basis of our legitimate interest. Our legitimate interest lies in being able to provide you with vouchers quickly and without being tied to a specific location.

We would like to point out that the webshop operator stores the pseudonymised IP data and behavioural analysis of the connection owner in the form of cookies for the purpose of simplifying the purchasing process (ticket purchases) and for subsequent contract processing. You can also personalise your vouchers by adding notes, photos or videos. The legal basis for the processing of this data is your voluntary and revocable consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by making the corresponding changes or adjustments in your cookie settings.

You are under no obligation to enter your personal data. The only consequence of not entering it is that your order for vouchers in the online shop cannot be processed.

By integrating the service on our website, the data is transmitted to the above-mentioned recipient and processed there for as long as is necessary to fulfil the stated purposes.

We have concluded an order processing contract with the provider for its use. This is a contract prescribed by data protection law, which ensures that the provider processes your personal data only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR. In cases where there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission, we have agreed other suitable guarantees with the data recipients within the meaning of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR have been agreed. Unless otherwise stated, these are standard contractual clauses (SCCs) of the European Commission in accordance with Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021.

9.10. Payment service providers Nexi and PayPal

For the purpose of payment processing, we use the services of Nexi Germany GmbH, (Helfmann-Park 7, 65760 Eschborn; hereinafter referred to as Nexi) for PayPal and credit card payments.

PayPal and Nexi act as separate controllers within the meaning of the GDPR as part of the payment process. The payment service providers only process the data relevant to the invoice. This includes your master data, such as your name and address, your bank details (such as your account number or credit card number) and also information about your order, i.e. the invoice amount. The data is processed exclusively by the payment service providers. We do not process your above-mentioned data. We only receive the information as to whether the payment was successful or not. Under certain circumstances, the data may also be transmitted by the payment service providers to credit agencies for the purpose of identity and credit checks. The data processing serves the fulfilment of the contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

In the case of PayPal, you will be forwarded directly to PayPal of the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., (22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg; hereinafter PayPal) at the end of the order process.

Please also note that PayPal may transfer data to countries outside the EU or the EEA. You can find information on the basis of data transfers and further data protection information in PayPal's privacy policy at: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full

We also want to make credit card payments secure and smooth. To this end, we use procedures that comply with the globally applicable standards of the card networks (Visa, MasterCard, JCB, Diners, AMEX, etc.). It is therefore necessary to send the corresponding data elements to the card-issuing bank of the card to be used for payment.

This serves several purposes: On the one hand, the data processing serves to fulfil the contract. If the credit card payment method has been selected, authentication is required. This means that it must be ensured that the authorised credit card holder has initiated the payment. This requires the transmission of certain data. The legal basis is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The procedure therefore also serves to carry out strong customer authentication in accordance with Directive EU 2015/2366 (PSD 2) and the Payment Services Supervision Act (ZAG). The legal basis is therefore also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR in conjunction with the corresponding provisions of Directive EU 2015/2366 and the ZAG. In addition, the procedure serves fraud prevention and user-friendliness, i.e. the common interest in secure and smooth purchasing. The legal basis would therefore also be Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

For this purpose, the following data is transmitted to the card network you use

Payment amount, currency, website accessed and whether it was successfully accessed, credit card number, expiry date, name of the cardholder, information about your internet browser (e.g. IP address, Java activated, language, colour depth, screen size, time zone), customer account information (date of creation of customer account and credit card, time of last change of address or payment data), information on the invoice recipient and shipping address (name, title, e-mail address, addresses), other risk factors (download orders, delivery deadline, pre-order, match of billing and delivery address).

The data was generated as part of the transaction. An automated authentication or risk check takes place. This can potentially mean that authentication is not successful and the selected payment method cannot be used in the specific case.

Data may only be transferred to third countries outside the EU if the banks involved are based in third countries.

For more information about data processing at Nexi, please refer to Nexi's privacy policy at: https://www.nexi.de/de/legal-footer/datenschutzerklaerung.

9.11. Cloudflare

We use the Cloudflare CDN from Cloudflare, Inc. (101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA; hereinafter Cloudflare) on this website to improve the speed and security of our website. Cloudflare offers services such as a content delivery network (CDN) and various security functions. With the Content Delivery Network, our content is mirrored on different servers to ensure optimal accessibility worldwide. User data is processed in the process.

Cloudflare operates a network of globally distributed servers that store copies of our website. When you visit our site, the content is delivered from the nearest server, which reduces the loading time. This speeds up the display, especially for users outside our hosting region, and increases security by protecting against DDoS attacks and a web application firewall.

We want to provide you with the best possible experience by optimising the speed and security of our website. Cloudflare helps us do this by improving web performance and blocking threats. In addition, by storing our website in local data centres, bandwidth usage is reduced by up to 60%. Other features such as the "I'm Under Attack Mode" provide additional protection against attacks by requiring a short challenge (e.g. JavaScript task) to be solved before access to the site is granted.

Cloudflare processes data on our behalf, such as IP addresses, security fingerprints and performance data. This information is used to ensure the security of our website and is processed in accordance with applicable law, including the GDPR.

The legal basis for the provision of these services is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR to ensure the provision, security and stability of our website.

Cloudflare stores data mainly in the USA and the European Economic Area (EEA). User data for most domains is stored for less than 24 hours. For Enterprise customers, logs may be retained for up to 7 days if enabled. Exceptions exist when security alerts are triggered.

We have concluded a data processing agreement for the use of Cloudflare. This is a contract required by data protection law, which guarantees that your personal data will only be processed in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR. In cases where there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission, we have agreed other suitable guarantees with the data recipients within the meaning of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR have been agreed. Unless otherwise stated, these are standard contractual clauses (SCCs) of the European Commission in accordance with Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021.

The personal data may also be transferred to the USA. The European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 (3) GDPR for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. On the basis of this decision, data transfers to organisations based in the USA that are certified accordingly are permitted. Cloudflare is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and is therefore committed to complying with appropriate data protection standards.

This contributes significantly to security by quickly addressing security vulnerabilities and increasing the efficiency of our services.

The processing of personal data in the context of error analysis with Sentry is based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in ensuring the security and functionality of the website, which is also in the interest of our users.

The data collected as part of the error analysis with Sentry is only stored for as long as is necessary to analyse and resolve the recorded problems. The data is then deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be traced back to a specific or identifiable person. The maximum storage period is usually 90 days.

We have concluded an order processing contract for the use of Sentry. This is a contract prescribed by data protection law, which guarantees that your personal data will only be processed in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
