10. Analysis, Tracking, Optimization
We provide technologies from us or from third parties that are not only used to provide a function within our online offer, but also serve exclusively or additionally to analyze user behavior, tracking, optimizing our marketing activities or other purposes mainly in our cookie policy.
11. Cookies
Information on the cookies we use can be found in our cookie policy.
12. Deletion, anonymization and retention of data
12.1. The data processed by us will be deleted in accordance with Art. 17 DS-GVO. Unless expressly stated in this data protection declaration, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for their intended purpose and the deletion in particular does not conflict with any statutory storage requirements. If the data is not deleted because its processing is required for other and legally permissible purposes, the processing will be restricted. This means that the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes.
12.2. Instead of deleting your data, we may anonymize it in such a way that it is irreversibly impossible to trace it back to individuals in the future.
12.3 According to the legal requirements, storage is carried out in particular for 6 years in accordance with Section 257 (1) HGB (books, inventories, opening balance sheets, annual financial statements, commercial letters, accounting documents, etc.) and for 10 years in accordance with Section 147 (1) AO (books , records, management reports, accounting documents, commercial and business letters, documents relevant to taxation, etc.).
13. Provision of contractual services
13.1. We process inventory data (e.g. salutation, first and last name, title, residential address or company address) as well as contract data (e.g. subject matter of the contract, user name or payment information) for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual obligations and services in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. b GDPR . The information marked as mandatory in online forms is required for the conclusion of the contract.
13.2. As part of the provision of our contractual obligations and services - especially in the context of ticketing - we generally create user accounts. In particular, the user accounts enable you to view the orders you have placed. As part of the registration, you will be informed of the required mandatory information. The user accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines. As part of the deletion of your user account (see No. 13.3. below), we will irretrievably remove all data stored by you or by us during the contract period from all systems. It is therefore your responsibility to back up your data upon termination or before the 3 years have expired.
13.3. Your user account and all the data it contains (e.g. order data) will generally be deleted after 3 years after registration or at any time after you have given notice of termination, apart from the deletion there are storage obligations for commercial or tax reasons in particular in accordance with Article 6 (1) lit c DS-GVO.
13.4 We store your IP address and the respective time of the action for 6 months as part of the registration and renewed registrations as well as the use of our online services. This data is stored on the basis of our and your legitimate interests to prove the respective action and to protect against misuse and other unauthorized use. After 6 months we delete this data. If further storage of this data is necessary for evidence purposes, this data is excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified. In principle, this data will not be passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR.
14. Visiting trade fairs or events, site surveillance, recordings (outside the online offer)
14.1. Film, television and photo recordings are usually made at trade fairs and other events. The data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR (public relations/marketing purposes). The recordings may be published to present our activities on our websites and in social media channels and/or in print media. We will provide you with further information on the respective processing - if necessary - on the day of the respective trade fair or event or in individual cases in advance.
14.2. At trade fairs and other events, we usually use surveillance cameras with a recording function on the premises. We save the recordings made. The recordings are only stored for as long as they are required for the purposes mentioned below. In the present case, the data will be deleted after a period of 72 hours - after 3 days. The processing takes place in accordance with Section 4 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Nos. 2 and 3 BDSG or, if applicable, in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR in the context of exercising our house rights or to protect our legitimate interests or insofar as it is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject (cf. Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c) GDPR, e.g. to preserve evidence). Processing in accordance with Section 4, Paragraph 1, Clause 1, Nos. 2 and 3 BDSG takes place in accordance with Section 4, Paragraph 1, Clause 2, No. 1 BDSG to protect the life, health or freedom of persons on the premises (visitors). Furthermore, we have a legitimate interest in deterring possible criminals and in securing evidence in the event of an attempted or completed criminal offense against us or a visitor. There is therefore a legitimate interest in preventing and, if necessary, prosecuting criminal offenses. We will provide you with further information on the respective processing - if necessary - on the day of the respective trade fair or event or in individual cases in advance.
14.3 We always have one - if necessary several - surveillance camera(s) on the premises, which, however, has (have) no recording function. The image data of the recordings are transmitted in real time to a monitor in the fire protection center (camera monitor principle), which only plays back this data, ie without the possibility of storing it. The image data is therefore not recorded or saved. Processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6 (1) (d) GDPR to protect the vital interests of people on the premises (detection of fires). We have a fire protection concept for this, which includes real-time video surveillance to detect fires. The processing is also carried out in accordance with Section 4 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 No. 3 BDSG to protect legitimate interests, which means in particular to protect the life and health of the people on the premises (cf. Section 4 Paragraph 1 Clause 2 No. 1 Federal Data Protection Act). We will provide you with further information on the respective processing - if necessary - on the day of the respective trade fair or event or in individual cases in advance.
15. Contact
15.1. When you contact us (by contact form, telephone, fax, post or e-mail), your data will be processed to process your request and to process it in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The information marked as mandatory in the contact form is required to process your request.
15.2. We usually delete inquiries 3 months after they have been received, but at the latest if they have been answered. In the case of legal storage obligations to be observed, the data will be deleted after they have expired (6 years under commercial law / 10 years under tax law).
15.3. You can object to the use of your personal data for advertising purposes at any time, either as a whole or for individual measures, without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.
Subject to the legal requirements of Section 7 (3) UWG, we are authorised to use the email address you provided when concluding the contract for direct advertising for our own similar goods or services.

If you do not wish to receive such recommendations from us by e-mail, you can object to the use of your address for this purpose at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. A message in text form is sufficient for this. Of course, each e-mail always contains an unsubscribe link.
16. Integration of share buttons for sharing content in social networks
We do not use any social plug-ins from social networks that collect data on our websites. In order to enable the uncomplicated sharing of content on our websites in social media, the so-called Shariff solution is used for our share buttons (further information on this can be found at: https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/ Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html).
This prevents our users' data from being passed on to social networks without their knowledge when they visit our websites. The share buttons according to the Shariff solution only create a link to the corresponding social network on request – ie only after the user clicks on a share button. The user can then share the content of our websites with other users, provided that he is logged in to the corresponding social network. This process is slightly different for each social network. After clicking on the share button, the content to be shared as well as the IP address and the general header information of the user's browser are transmitted to the respective social network. We would like to point out that we have no knowledge of the content of the (personal) data that is subsequently transmitted or how it is used by the social networks.
The share buttons described above are offered for the following social networks in accordance with the Shariff solution:

17. Online social media presence
17.1.

17.3 We would like to point out that your data can also be processed by the respective operator outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. As a result, there may be risks for you, in particular the enforcement of rights can be made more difficult. With regard to US operators who are certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield, we would also like to point out that they have also committed themselves to complying with EU data protection standards.
17.4 If you click on the button of the respective operator, you will be forwarded to our respective online presence in a separate browser window and can share or subscribe to our news there, provided you are logged into your user account. The button establishes a direct connection between your browser and the server of the respective operator. The respective operator receives the information that you have visited our website with your IP address. The respective operator can collect further data as soon as you use their offers. In addition, it is then possible for the respective operator to assign your visit to our website to you and your user account, provided you are logged into your user account.
17.5 In addition, your data will usually be processed for market research and advertising. This means that profiles can be created from your usage behavior and the preferences and interests derived from it. Such profiles can be used, for example, to place appropriate advertisements within our online presence or on other online presences or websites based on the interests determined. Cookies are placed and stored on your end device, with the help of which data on usage behavior can be collected and bundled for further processing - to determine your interests. The collection and bundling of this data can also be realized across multiple end devices used by you, especially if you are logged into your user account.
17.6 The processing of data takes place on the basis of our legitimate interest in effective information and direct communication with you in relation to our online offer in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
17.7 Should you request information or wish to exercise other rights to which you are entitled, we ask that you first contact the respective operator directly. The background is that only the respective operators have access to your data and can give you the relevant information and, if necessary, take further measures.

18. Links
We do not use any social plug-ins from social networks that collect data on our websites. If we do not use the Shariff solution, we only set links to social networks on our websites. This prevents our users' data from being passed on to social networks without their knowledge when they visit our websites. The links create a connection to our online presence of the respective social network only upon request - therefore only after the user clicks on a link. After clicking on the link, the IP address and the general header information of the user's browser are transmitted to the respective social network. The respective social network can collect further data as soon as you use its offers. We would like to point out that we have no knowledge of the content of the (personal) data that is subsequently transmitted or how it is used by the social networks.
The links described above are used for the following social networks:

19.2 Content of the newsletter: We send e-mails and other (electronic) notifications with advertising information (hereinafter "newsletter") only with your consent or on the basis of legal permission. If the contents of the newsletter are specifically described when registering for the newsletter, they are decisive for the consent. Our newsletter also contains information about our products, offers, campaigns and our company.
19.3 Logging double opt-in and changes: Registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with someone else's e-mail address. The registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with the legal requirements. This includes storing the time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored by the shipping service provider are also logged.
19.4 Dispatch service provider: The newsletter is dispatched by rapidmail GmbH Wentzingerstraße 21, 79106 Freiburg im Breisgau, hereinafter referred to as “dispatch service provider”.
19.5 If the newsletter of the shipping service provider is subscribed to, the data in the respective input mask will be transmitted to the person responsible for processing. Registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail in which you will be asked to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with someone else's e-mail address. When registering for the newsletter, the IP address of the user and the date and time of registration are saved. This serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address of the person concerned. The data will not be passed on to third parties. There is an exception if there is a legal obligation to pass it on. The data will only be used to send the newsletter. The subscription to the newsletter can be canceled by the data subject at any time. Likewise, the consent to the storage of personal data can be revoked at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter. The legal basis for processing the data after the user has registered for the newsletter is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR if the user has given their consent. The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is Section 7 (3) UWG.
19.6 Use of rapidmail
Description and purpose: We use rapidmail to send newsletters. The provider is rapidmail GmbH, Wentzingerstrasse, 21, 79106 Freiburg, Germany. With rapidmail, among other things, the dispatch of newsletters is organized and analyzed. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored on the rapidmail servers in Germany. If you do not want an analysis by rapidmail, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website. For the purpose of analysis, the e-mails sent with rapidmail contain a so-called tracking pixel, which connects to the rapidmail servers when the e-mail is opened. In this way it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened. Furthermore, with the help of rapidmail, we can determine whether and which links in the newsletter message are clicked on. All links in the e-mail are so-called tracking links, with which your clicks can be counted.
Legal basis: The legal basis for data processing is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
Recipient: The recipient of the data is rapidmail GmbH.
Transmission to third countries: The data will not be transmitted to third countries.
Duration: The data stored by you as part of the consent for the purpose of the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted both from our servers and from the servers of rapidmail after you have canceled the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the members' area) remain unaffected.
Revocation option: You have the option to revoke your consent to data processing at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.
Further data protection information: For more information, see rapidmail's data security information at: https://www.rapidmail.de/datensicherheit. You can find out more about the rapidmail analysis functions from the following link: https://www.rapidmail.de/wissen-und-hilfe

20. Integration of Third-Party Services and Content
20.1 Within our online offer, we use content or service offers from third-party providers on the basis of our legitimate interests (interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO). This means that we include content and services from third-party providers, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter collectively referred to as "content"). The prerequisite for this is that the third-party providers perceive your IP address, since they would not be able to send the content to your browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the display of content. Third-party providers can also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. "Pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the website. The pseudonymous information can also be stored in cookies on your device and contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visiting times and other information on the use of our online offer, as well as being linked to such information from other sources.
20.2 In the following presentation we have compiled an overview of third-party providers together with the content they offer and the links to their data protection declarations, which may contain further information on the processing of data and information on the objection. Please note that we have listed other third-party providers in our cookie policy.
