Privacy policy

 

1. Introduction

With the following information, we would like to give you as a "data subject" an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under data protection laws. In principle, it is possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you want to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.

The processing of personal data, such as your name, address, or e-mail address, is always in line with the German Data Protection Regulation (Datenschutz-Grundverordnung - GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the "Internationaler Rennrodelverband". By means of this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us.

As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are also free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or by mail.

You too can take simple and easy-to-implement measures to protect yourself against unauthorized access to your data by third parties. Therefore, we would like to provide you with some tips on how to handle your data securely: 

• Protect your account (login, user or customer account) and your IT system (computer, laptop, tablet or mobile device) with strong passwords.
• Only you should have access to the passwords.
• Make sure that you always use your passwords for one account only (login, user or customer account).
• Do not use one password for different websites, applications, or online services.
• Especially when using publicly accessible IT systems or IT systems shared with other people, the following applies: It is imperative that you log out again after each login to a website, application or online service.

Passwords should consist of at least 12 characters and be chosen so that they cannot be easily guessed. Therefore, they should not contain common words from everyday life, your own name or names of relatives, but upper and lower case, numbers and special characters.

4. Definitions

The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European Directive and Ordinance when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use the following terms, among others, in this Privacy Policy:

1. Personal data

Personal data is 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.

2. Person concerned

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller (our company).

3. Processing

Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organization, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

4. Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.

5. Profiling

Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data that consists of using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects relating to that natural person's job performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or change of location.

6. Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way 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 separate and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

7. Order processor

Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the Controller.

8. Recipient

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigation mandate under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as recipients.

9. Third party

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

10. Consent

Consent is any expression of will in the form of a declaration or other unambiguous affirmative action made voluntarily by the data subject in an informed and unambiguous manner for the specific case, by which the data subject indicates that they consent to the processing of personal data relating to them.

 

5. Transmission of data to third parties

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We will only share your personal information with third parties if:

1. you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a GDPR,
2. the disclosure is permissible under Art. 6 (1) f GDPR to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data,
3. in the event that a legal obligation exists for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR, as well as
4. this is legally permissible and required according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the processing of contractual relationships with you.

In order to protect your data and to allow us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA) where appropriate, we have entered into commissioned processing agreements based on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. This sometimes does not apply in the case of a data transfer to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.

 

6. Technology

6.1 SSL/TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact requests that you send to us as the operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that there is a "https://" instead of a "http://" in the address line of the browser and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.

6.2 Data collection when visiting the website

When using our website for information purposes only, i.e. when not registering or otherwise transmitting information to us, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called "server log files"). Our website collects a series of general data and information with each call of a page by you or by an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following can be recorded

1. browser types and versions used,
2. the operating system used by the accessing system,
3. the website from which an accessing system arrives at our website (so-called referrer),
4. the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
5. the date and time of an access to the website,
6. an Internet Protocol (IP) address and,
7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system.

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. This information is rather required in order to

1. deliver the contents of our website correctly,
2. optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it,
3. ensure the long-term operability of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and
4. provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack.

Therefore, the data and information collected will be used by us for statistical purposes only and for the purpose of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise so as to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above.

 

7. Cookies

7.1 General information about cookies

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

Information is stored in the cookie that results in each case from the context of the specific end device used. This does not mean, however, that we gain direct knowledge of your identity. The use of cookies serves to make the use of our services more pleasant for you.

7.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies

The data processed by the cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are thus necessary to protect our legitimate interests as well as those of third parties pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

For all other cookies, you must have given your consent to this via our opt-in cookie banner within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.

7.3 Consent with Cookiebot

Our website uses the consent technology of Cookiebot to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your terminal device or to the use of certain technologies and to document this in accordance with data protection law. The provider of this technology is Cybot A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark (hereinafter "Cookiebot").

When you enter our website, a connection is established to the servers of Cookiebot in order to obtain your consents and other declarations regarding the use of cookies. Cookiebot then stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to assign the consents given to you or their revocation. The data collected in this way will be stored until you request us to delete it, delete the Cookiebot cookie yourself or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory legal storage obligations remain unaffected.

Cookiebot is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO.

We have concluded a contract on order processing (AVV) with the above-mentioned provider. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that the provider only processes the personal data of our website visitors in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

7.4 Classification of the cookies used

We use different types of cookies:

Session cookies

The use of cookies serves to make the use of our offer more pleasant for you. We use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.

Temporary cookies

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

Statistical cookies

Furthermore, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you. These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already been to our site when you visit it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.

Detection cookies

Last but not least, we set a cookie that stores your clarification about the use of cookies on our homepage. The storage period of your confirmation is one month and serves to fulfill our obligations under data protection law.

 

8. Our activities in social networks

So that we can also communicate with you in social networks and inform you about our services, we are represented there with our own pages. If you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible for the processing operations triggered by this, within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR, with the provider of the respective social media platform.

We are not the original provider of these pages, but only use them within the scope of the possibilities offered to us by the respective providers.

As a precaution, we therefore point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore be associated with data protection risks for you, as it may be more difficult to protect your rights, e.g. to information, deletion, objection, etc., and processing in the social networks often takes place directly for advertising purposes or for analysis of user behavior by the providers, without this being able to be influenced by us. If usage profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or the usage behavior is assigned to your own member profile of the social networks.

The described processing operations of personal data are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in order to be able to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user with the respective providers, the legal basis refers to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR in conjunction with. Art. 7 GDPR.

As we do not have access to the providers' databases, we would like to point out that it is best to exercise your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider. Further information on the processing of your data in the social networks and the possibility of exercising your right of objection or revocation (so-called opt-out), we have listed below at the respective provider of social networks used by us:

8.1 Instagram

(Co-) responsible for data processing in Germany:

Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland

Privacy Policy (Data Policy):

https://instagram.com/legal/privacy/>

8.2 Twitter

(Co-) Responsible for data processing in Europe:

Twitter International Company, One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, D02 AX07, Ireland

Privacy Policy:

https://twitter.com/de/privacy

Information about your data:

https://twitter.com/settings/your_twitter_data

8.3 YouTube

(Co-) Responsible for data processing in Europe:

Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland

Privacy Policy:

https://policies.google.com/privacy

8.4 Fan page Facebook

(Co-)responsible for data processing in Europe: Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled in its judgment of June 5, 2018, that the operator of a Facebook page is jointly responsible with Facebook for the processing of personal data. It is known that Facebook processes users' data for the following purposes:

Advertising (analysis, creation of personalized advertising), creation of user profiles, market research

Facebook uses cookies, i.e. small text files that are stored on the user's various end devices, to store and further process this information. If the user has a Facebook profile and is logged in to it, the storage and analysis also takes place across devices. Facebook's privacy policy contains further information on data processing: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/

Objection options (so-called opt-out) can be set at https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or at http://www.youronlinechoices.com.

Facebook refers to these EU standard contractual clauses in its terms of use. Nevertheless, the EU Court of Justice sees the U.S. as a country with an insufficient level of data protection. In particular, there is a possibility that U.S. authorities may process personal data for counterterrorism purposes. A legal remedy against this processing may not be available.

Statistical data

Via the so-called "Insights" of the Facebook page, statistical data of different categories can be retrieved for the website operator. These statistics are generated and provided by Facebook. The operator of the site has no influence on the generation and presentation. This function cannot be switched off or the generation and processing of the data prevented. For a selectable period of time as well as for the categories fans, subscribers, reached persons and interacting persons, the website operator is provided with the following data by Facebook in relation to the Facebook page: Total number of page views, "likes", page activities, post interactions, reach, video views, post reach, comments, shared content, responses, proportion of men and women, origin in relation to country and city, language, calls and clicks in the store, clicks on route planners, clicks on telephone numbers. Data on the Facebook groups linked to the Facebook page is also provided in this way.

Due to the constant development of Facebook, the availability and processing of the data is changing, so for more details on this, please refer to the Facebook privacy policy already mentioned above. The available data is used in aggregated form to make the posts and activities on the Facebook page more attractive to users. For example, the distributions by age and gender are used for an adapted address and the preferred visiting times of the users are used for a time-optimized planning of the posts. Information about the type of end devices used by visitors helps to adapt the visual design of the posts accordingly. In accordance with the Facebook terms of use, which each user has agreed to as part of creating a Facebook profile, subscribers and fans of the page can be identified and their profiles and other shared information can be viewed by them.

User rights

According to the shared responsibility agreement, Facebook assumes responsibility for the fulfillment of data subject rights under Art. 15-20 of the GDPR. For requests for information or other questions about rights as a user, users should contact Facebook directly. Detailed information on shared responsibility can be found at https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum.

If the described data processing is no longer desired in the future, the user profile must be disconnected from the website by using the "I no longer like this page" or "Unsubscribe" function.

 

9. Social media plugins

9.1 Social Media Wall Flockler

To display images on our website, we use the service Flockler, which generates social media walls from uploaded images or photos collected on relevant social media channels and displays them on our website.

A link between content and Flockler's servers establishes a connection to Flockler. Therefore, Flockler obtains your IP address. This also applies if you are not logged in to the respective social media provider or do not have an account with them. The websites you visit are linked to your social media account and disclosed to other users.

In the process, data is also transmitted to the social media provider. We would like to point out that we, as the provider of the pages, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by the social media provider. You can find more information on this in the privacy policy of the providers.

The use of the Flockler plugin is based on your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

The privacy policy and further information about this service provider can be found at: flockler.com/privacy-policy

9.2 2-Click solution

Social plugins from the providers listed below are used on our websites - in particular via the social media wall. You can recognize the plugins by the fact that they are marked with the corresponding logo.

Information, which may also include personal data, may be sent to the service provider via these plugins and may be used by the service provider. We prevent the unconscious and unintentional collection and transmission of data to the service provider through a 2-click solution. To activate a desired social plugin, it must first be activated by clicking on the corresponding button. Only this activation of the plugin also triggers the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider. We ourselves do not collect any personal data by means of the social plugins or about their use.

We have no influence on what data an activated plugin collects and how it is used by the provider. Currently, it must be assumed that a direct connection to the services of the provider is established and that at least your IP address and device-related information is collected and used. Likewise, there is the possibility that the service providers attempt to store cookies on the computer used. Please refer to the data protection information of the respective service provider to find out which specific data is collected and how it is used.

We have integrated the social media buttons of the following companies on our website:

l Facebook plugin

l Instagram plugin

l Twitter plugin

The use of social media buttons is based on your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR.

9.3 Additional services of the social media wall

When using the social media walls, further external services are reloaded in addition to the processing operations described above. The legal basis here is in each case your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, which you have given in the context of the 2-click solution described.

Google Tag Manager

On this website we use the Google Tag Manager service. The operating company of Google Tag Manager is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies with headquarters at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Through this tool, "website tags" (i.e. keywords that are integrated into HTML elements) can be implemented and managed via an interface. By using the Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link or personalized image you have actively clicked on and can then record which contents of our website are of particular interest to you.

The tool also triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have disabled at the domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

Further information on Google Tag Manager and Google's privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Facebook Pixel

This website uses the "Facebook pixel" of Meta Platforms, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Meta"). In the event that explicit consent is granted, this allows the behavior of users to be tracked after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook ad. This procedure is used to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and can help to optimize future advertising measures.

The collected data is anonymous for us and therefore does not allow us to draw conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook data usage policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). Meta and its partners are thus enabled to place advertisements on and outside of Facebook. Furthermore, a cookie may be stored on your computer for these purposes.

To deactivate the use of cookies on your IT system, you can set your Internet browser so that no more cookies can be stored on your IT system in the future or so that cookies that have already been stored are deleted. We would like to point out that these measures may mean that not all functions of our website are available. You can also deactivate the use of cookies by third-party providers such as Meta on the following website of the Digital Advertising Alliance: https://www.aboutads.info/choices/.

In addition, you can disable cookies for reach measurement and advertising purposes by setting an opt-out cookie via the following websites:

1. https://optout.networkadvertising.org/
2. https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/

Please note that this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies.

Google Ads with conversion tracking

We have integrated Google Ads on this website. The operating company of the Google Ads services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ads is an Internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads both in Google's search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows an advertiser to specify certain keywords in advance, by means of which an ad is displayed in Google's search engine results exclusively when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result using the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed to topic-relevant websites by means of an automatic algorithm and in compliance with the previously defined keywords.

The purpose of Google Ads is to advertise our website by displaying interest-relevant advertisements on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and to display third-party advertisements on our website.

If you access our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on your IT system by Google. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify you. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain sub-pages, for example the shopping cart of an online store system, have been called up on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both we and Google can track whether a user who arrived on our website via an AdWords ad generated a sale, i.e. completed or canceled a purchase of goods.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via Ads ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective Ads ad and to optimize our Ads ads for the future. Neither our company nor other advertisers of Google Ads receive information from Google by means of which you could be identified.

By means of the conversion cookie, personal information, for example the Internet pages visited by you, is stored. Each time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection you use, 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 pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on your IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Ads can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs. Furthermore, you have the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, you must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from the Internet browser you are using and make the desired settings there. We would like to point out that these measures may mean that not all functions of our website are available.

You can view the privacy policy and further information of Google AdSense at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Twitter Pixel

This website uses the "Twitter pixel" of Twitter Inc, 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA ("Twitter"). In the event that explicit consent is granted, this allows the behavior of users to be tracked after they have seen or clicked on a Twitter advertisement. This procedure is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the Twitter ads for statistical and market research purposes and can help to optimize future advertising measures.

Statistical, pseudonymous data is transferred to Twitter in order to provide us with corresponding statistics on this basis and to be able to show you interest-specific offers. This data is stored in a cookie. The collected data is anonymous for us and therefore does not allow us to draw conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Twitter, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Twitter can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the privacy policy (https://twitter.com/de/privacy).

To deactivate the use of cookies on your IT system, you can set your Internet browser so that no more cookies can be stored on your IT system in the future or so that cookies that have already been stored are deleted. We would like to point out that these measures may mean that not all functions of our website are available. You can also deactivate the use of cookies by third-party providers such as Twitter on the following website of the Digital Advertising Alliance: https://www.aboutads.info/choices/

In addition, you can disable cookies for reach measurement and advertising purposes by setting an opt-out cookie via the following websites:

1. https://optout.networkadvertising.org/
2. https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/

Please note that this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies.

Quora Tracking Pixel

This website uses the "Quora Tracking Pixel" of Quora Inc, 650 Castro Street, Suite 450, Mountain View, CA 94041, USA ("Quora"). In the event that explicit consent is given, this allows the behavior of users to be tracked after they have seen or clicked on a Quora advertisement. This process is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the Quora advertisements for statistical and market research purposes and may help to optimize future advertising measures.

The collected data is anonymous for us and therefore does not allow us to draw conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Quora so that a connection to the respective Quora account is possible and Quora can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the privacy policy (https://www.quora.com/about/privacy).

To deactivate the use of cookies on your IT system, you can set your Internet browser so that no more cookies can be stored on your IT system in the future or so that cookies that have already been stored are deleted. We would like to point out that these measures may mean that not all functions of our website are available. You can also deactivate the use of cookies by third-party providers such as Twitter on the following website of the Digital Advertising Alliance: https://www.aboutads.info/choices/

In addition, you can disable cookies for reach measurement and advertising purposes by setting an opt-out cookie via the following websites:

1. https://optout.networkadvertising.org/
2. https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/

In addition, Quora also offers an opt-out option: https://www.quora.com/optout.

Please note that this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies.

 

10. Web analysis

10.1 Matomo

We have integrated the Matomo component of the provider InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand, on this website. Matomo is a software tool for web analysis, i.e. for collecting, collating and evaluating data on the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, data is collected about the website from which a data subject has accessed a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website have been accessed or how often and for how long a subpage has been viewed. This is used to optimize the website and for cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The software is operated on the server of the controller, and the log files, which are sensitive under data protection law, are stored exclusively on this server.

Matomo sets a cookie on your IT system. Setting the cookie enables us to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is called up, the Internet browser on your IT system is automatically prompted by the Matomo component to transmit data to our server for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical procedure, we obtain knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which we use, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks.

By means of the cookie, personal information, for example the access time, the location from which an access originated and the frequency of visits to our website are stored. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection you are using, is transmitted to our server. This personal data is stored by us. We do not pass on this personal data to third parties.

You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Matomo from setting a cookie on your IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Matomo can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, you have the option to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by Matomo related to a use of this website by clicking on the following link: Matomo deactivate. If your IT system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later time, the data subject must set an opt-out cookie again. We would like to point out that these measures may mean that not all functions of our website are available.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively when explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Matomo's privacy policy can be viewed at: https://matomo.org/privacy/.

 

11. RESULTS LIVE TICKER (swisstiming.com)

To display live results at FIL international sporting events, our website uses the timing and results services of ST Sportservice GmbH, Wiesenring 11, 04159 Leipzig, Germany, a company of The Swatch Group AG with headquarters at Seevorstadt 6, 2501 Biel, Switzerland.

12. Plugins and other content

12.1 Google WebFonts

Our website uses so-called WebFonts, which are provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required WebFonts into its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to the servers on which the fonts are hosted. In principle, these are our own servers, so that third parties such as Google generally do not gain access to your personal Internet data for this purpose. However, due to the use of a content management system, various plug-ins are integrated on our site, some of which nevertheless establish a connection to Google and load the fonts from there. Through this, Google can gain knowledge that our website was accessed via your IP address.

The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our website. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

For more information on Google Web Fonts, please visit https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and see Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

12.2 Vimeo (videos)

Plugins of the video portal Vimeo of Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA are integrated on our website. When you call up a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of Vimeo. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Vimeo directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Vimeo receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Vimeo account or are not currently logged in to Vimeo. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a Vimeo server in the USA and stored there.

If you are logged in to Vimeo, Vimeo can directly assign your visit to our website to your Vimeo account. If you interact with the plugins (such as pressing the start button of a video), this information is also transmitted directly to a Vimeo server and stored there.

If you do not want Vimeo to assign the data collected via our website directly to your Vimeo account, you must log out of Vimeo before visiting our website.

For videos from Vimeo that are embedded on our site, the tracking tool Google Analytics is automatically integrated. This is Vimeo's own tracking, to which we have no access and which cannot be influenced by our site. Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies" for tracking, which are text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively when express consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.

12.3 Youtube

We have integrated YouTube on our website. YouTube is a component of the video platform of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland. On this platform, users can upload content, share it over the Internet and receive detailed statistics.

Already when calling up those sub-pages in which YouTube is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there; this may also result in a transmission to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to YouTube, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want the assignment with your profile at YouTube, you must log out before activating the button. YouTube stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. The collection, storage and evaluation are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR on the basis of YouTube's legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of Google websites. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

To avoid an unauthorized and uncontrolled flow of data from the moment you visit our website, we implement the integration of the plugin with a so-called 2-click solution, i.e. YouTube may only set cookies or receive information about your visit to our website when you have actively clicked on the plugin to display the video. By visiting our website without confirmation on your part by way of the 2-click solution, no data is transmitted to Google. The legal basis for the data transfer to Google is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a), 7 GDPR.

For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by YouTube, please see the privacy policy. There you will also find further information about your rights and setting options to protect your privacy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. Transfers to third countries are possible. So-called standard contractual clauses pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR have been concluded as suitable guarantees. Further information can be found here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu_de.

When using the Youtube videos, further external services are reloaded in addition to the processing operations described above. The legal basis here is in each case your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, which you have given in the context of the 2-click solution described.

DoubleClick

This website contains components of DoubleClick by Google. DoubleClick is a brand of Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), under which special online marketing solutions are marketed to advertising agencies and publishers.

DoubleClick by Google transfers data to the DoubleClick server with each impression as well as with clicks or other activities. Each of these data transfers triggers a cookie request to your browser. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick sets a cookie on your IT system. The purpose of the cookie is to optimize and display advertising. The cookie is used, among other things, to serve and display user-relevant advertising and to generate reports on advertising campaigns or to improve them. Furthermore, the cookie is used to avoid multiple displays of the same advertisement.

DoubleClick uses a cookie ID, which is required to handle the technical process. The cookie ID is required, for example, to display an advertisement in a browser. DoubleClick can also use the cookie ID to record which advertisements have already been displayed in a browser in order to avoid duplicate placements. Furthermore, the cookie ID enables DoubleClick to record conversions.

A DoubleClick cookie does not contain any personal data. However, a DoubleClick cookie may contain additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier serves to identify the campaigns with which you have already been in contact.

Each time you call up one of the individual pages of this website that is operated by us and on which a DoubleClick component has been integrated, the internet browser on your IT system is caused by the respective DoubleClick component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of data that Google also uses to generate commission statements. Among other things, Google can track that you have clicked on certain links on our website.

You can prevent the setting of cookies by DoubleClick and our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting in your internet browser. In addition, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
