Deviating, conflicting or supplementary General Terms and Conditions, even if known, shall not become part of the contract, unless their validity is expressly agreed to in writing. The General Terms and Conditions can be viewed by all at any time on the Internet at http://www.immergutrocken.de/agb-datenschutzbestimmungen/.

GENERAL DEFINITIONS

Entrepreneur in the sense of the GTC is any natural or legal person or partnership with legal capacity who acts in the exercise of a commercial or independent professional activity.

Customer in the sense of the terms and conditions is both the consumer and the entrepreneur.

SCOPE OF SERVICES AND CONTRACTUAL PARTNERS

Contractual partner of the offered event is immergutrocken e.V..

By purchasing the ticket, a contractual relationship is established between the ticket holder (customer) and the event organizer with regard to the visit to the event. By ordering the tickets, the customer authorizes Immergut to handle the purchase of the tickets, including shipping.

CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT

The purchase contract with the Immergut shall be concluded as follows: The clientele shall select the desired number of tickets for the event on the order page on the Internet. The clientele provides their address and contact details as well as the data required for the collection of payments. The customer must accept these terms and conditions and the data protection provisions as part of the ordering process. After the customer has clicked on the button "Place order", he submits an offer. After submitting the offer, it shall receive a confirmation of receipt by e-mail, which shall constitute an acceptance of the offer by Immergut. Upon receipt of the order confirmation by the clientele, the contract between the clientele and the Immergut regarding the event attendance shall be concluded at the same time.

PRICES

a. The prices quoted during the ordering process are inclusive prices. They include all fees and taxes

b. The tickets will be issued via online ticket as an email for you to print yourself.

PAYMENT

A payment of the cards can be made by bank transfer or the tool Sofort-Überweisung (Klarna). The total price of the order is due for payment immediately upon conclusion of the contract. Payment against invoice and by credit card is excluded.

The cards will be sent by e-mail.

RESALE

A commercial resale of the tickets is not allowed. Any violation of the law will be prosecuted.

PROCEDURE OF THE TICKETING PROCESS

a. Each ticket entitles the holder to a one-time exchange for a cloth wristband that allows unlimited access to the event area during the event period on a personal basis. If the current infection situation dictates and a test for Corona virus is required, a negative rapid antigen test result or a PCR test result no older than 24 hours negative will also be required for entry. Depending on the infection situation in August, rapid antigen tests may be offered on-site and the cost of these is included with the ticket price.

b. Cards must be kept in a secure location and protected against misuse.

c. If the customer has not received the order confirmation within 24 hours after booking, he/she shall contact the Immergut by e-mail without further delay. This also applies in the case of incorrectly issued cards.

DATA PROTECTION

All personal data such as names, addresses, telephone and fax numbers or e-mail addresses, which are collected in the course of the conclusion of the purchase contract, are only to be used for the purpose of processing the booking or notifying the clientele about the purchased tickets. These data will not be passed on to third parties under any circumstances.

RIGHTS OF REVOCATION AND RETURN

The purchase contract concluded with Immergut constitutes a contract within the meaning of § 312 b, section 3, no. 6 of the German Civil Code (BGB). Accordingly, the provisions of §§ 312 b et seq. BGB shall not apply even to customers who are consumers* if the entrepreneur (here: Immergut) in the field of leisure events undertakes upon conclusion of the contract to provide the service at a specific time or within a specified period of time. Each order for tickets shall thus be binding immediately after confirmation by Immergut and shall oblige the customer to accept and pay for the tickets. Return and exchange of tickets are excluded.

CANCELLATION IN CASE OF CANCELLATION OF THE EVENT

a. If the event is cancelled by the organizer, the purchaser may return his/her ticket to the organizer within 6 weeks. In this case, the organizer will only refund the face value of the ticket.

LIABILITY

a. Immergut shall be liable for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health, unless Immergut or its vicarious agents have acted neither intentionally nor negligently.

b. The Immergut shall be liable for property damage and financial loss on pre-contractual, contractual or statutory liability grounds in the event of intent and gross negligence. In addition, Immergut shall also be liable for a simple negligent breach of essential contractual obligations (so-called cardinal obligations), i.e. contractual obligations whose breach jeopardizes the achievement of the purpose of the contract; however, in the case of a simple negligent breach of essential contractual obligations, liability shall be limited to the damage typical for the contract and foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract.

c. Liability based on mandatory statutory provisions shall remain unaffected.

FINAL PROVISIONS

a. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply exclusively, to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory provisions of the state in which the customer has his usual place of residence remain unaffected.

b. Should one or more provisions of these General Terms and Conditions be invalid in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. In this case, the parties will agree on a provision that comes closest to the economic purpose of the original. Status: December 2019.

We are very pleased about your interest in our association. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of immergutrocken e.Vs. The use of the Internet pages of the immergutrocken e.Vs. is possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wants to use special services of our association via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject. The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation, and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the immergutrocken e.V.. By means of this data protection declaration, our association would like to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration. As the controller, the immergutrocken e.V. has 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 always be subject to security vulnerabilities, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. definitions The data protection declaration of the immergutrocken e.Vs. is based on the terms used by the European Data Protection Supervisor when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

We use the following terms, among others, in this data protection declaration:

(a) personal data: Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). 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.

f) 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 separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures which ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person. -

g) Controller or controller: the controller or controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

2. name and address of the controller The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions with data protection character is the:

immergutrocken e.V.

Warschauer Street 59a

10243 Berlin Germany

Tel.: 030 55499143

E-Mail: post@immergutrocken.de

Website: www.immergutrocken.de

3 Cookies: The internet pages of immergutrocken e.Vs. use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser. Numerous Internet pages and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited Internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID. Through the use of cookies, the immergutrocken e.V. can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting. By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user. Cookies enable us, as already mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his or her access data each time he or she visits the website, because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online store. The online store remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie. The data subject 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. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. collection of general data and information: The website of the immergutrocken e.Vs. collects a series of general data and information with each call-up of the website by a data subject or automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following data may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses 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 address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems. When using these general data and information, the immergutrocken e.V. does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed (1) to deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) to optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. Therefore, the immergutrocken e.V. analyzes anonymously collected data and information on one hand, and on the other hand, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our association, so that we can ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data submitted by a data subject.

5. subscription to our newsletter: On the website of the immergutrocken e.V., users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the controller when the newsletter is ordered is specified in the input mask used for this purpose. The immergutrocken e.V. informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a circular letter about offers of the association. The circular letter of our association can basically only be received by the data subject, if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter mailing. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address entered by a data subject for the first time for the newsletter mailing using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail serves to verify whether the owner of the e-mail address, as the data subject, has authorized receipt of the newsletter. When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of a data subject's e-mail address at a later point in time and therefore serves as a legal safeguard for the controller. The personal data collected in the context of a subscription to the newsletter will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in technical conditions. No personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given us for the newsletter mailing, can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, a corresponding link can be found in each circular. Furthermore, it is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing directly on the website of the controller at any time or to notify the controller of this in another way.

6. contact possibility via the website: Based on statutory provisions, the website of the immergutrocken e.V. contains data that enable a quick electronic contact to our association, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or by using a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. No disclosure of this personal data to third parties will take place.

7. comment function in the blog on the website: The immergutrocken e.V. offers users the possibility to leave individual comments on individual blog contributions on a blog, which is on the website of the controller. A blog is a portal maintained on a website, usually publicly viewable, in which one or more persons, called bloggers or web bloggers, can post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blogposts. The blogposts can usually be commented on by third parties. If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, in addition to the comments left by the data subject, information on the time of comment entry and the user name (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject will be stored and published. Furthermore, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the person concerned is also logged. This storage of the IP address is done for security reasons and in case the data subject violates the rights of third parties by posting a comment or posts illegal content. The storage of this personal data is therefore in the controller's own interest, so that the controller could exculpate itself if necessary in the event of an infringement. There is no disclosure of this collected personal data to third parties, unless such disclosure is required by law or serves the legal defense of the controller.

8. routine erasure and blocking of personal data: The controller shall process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where provided for by the European Directive and Regulation or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject. If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation Maker or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

9. rights of the data subject

a) Right to confirmation: Every data subject has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning him or her are being processed.

If the data controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the data controller conflict with such deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

11. privacy policy on the use and application of ShareThis: The controller has integrated components of the ShareThis association on this website. ShareThis is a so-called bookmarking provider. The service enables a simplified bookmarking of Internet pages via buttons. By moving the mouse over the ShareThis component or by clicking on it, a list of bookmarking and sharing services is displayed. ShareThis is used on more than 15 million Internet pages, and the buttons are displayed more than 20 billion times a year, according to the operating company. The operating company of ShareThis is ShareThis, 4005 Miranda Ave, Suite 100, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the data controller is called up and on which a ShareThis component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective ShareThis component to download data from the www.ShareThis.com website. As part of this technical process, ShareThis receives knowledge about the visit and which specific individual page of this website is used by the information technology system used by the data subject. Furthermore, ShareThis obtains knowledge about the IP address of the computer system used by the data subject assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP), the browser type, the browser language, the Internet page accessed before our Internet page, the date as well as the time of the visit to our Internet page. ShareThis uses this data to create anonymized user profiles. The data and information transmitted to ShareThis in this way enable the ShareThis association itself as well as the association associated with ShareThis or its partner companies to target visitors to the Internet pages of the controller with personalized and interest-based advertising. ShareThis displays personalized and interest-based advertising based on a cookie set by the association. This cookie analyzes the individual surfing behavior of the computer system used by the data subject. The cookie stores the visits to Internet pages originating from the computer system. The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, 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 ShareThis from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already set by ShareThis can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. The data subject also has the option to permanently object to the processing of personal data by ShareThis. To do so, the data subject must press the opt-out button under the link http://www.ShareThis.com/privacy/opt-out, which sets an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie set with the objection, is stored on the information technology system used by the data subject. If the cookies on the system of the data subject are deleted after an objection, the data subject must call up the link again and set a new opt-out cookie. However, with the setting of the opt-out cookie, there is the possibility that the internet pages of the controller are no longer fully usable for the data subject. The applicable data protection provisions of ShareThis can be found at http://www.ShareThis.com/privacy/privacy-policy.

12. privacy policy on the use and application of Facebook: The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network. A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for sharing opinions and experiences or enables the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook enables users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests, among other things. The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The controller of personal data, if a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, is Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the data controller is called up and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Facebook receives knowledge of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject. If the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting each time the data subject calls up our website and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Like" button, or if the data subject makes a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data. Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is simultaneously logged into Facebook at the time of calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Facebook account before accessing our website. The data policy published by Facebook, which can be accessed at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

Data protection provisions on the use and application of Google Analytics (with anonymization function): The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, compilation and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data on which website a data subject came to a website from (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used for the optimization of a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising. The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The controller uses the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this additive, the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymized by Google if access to our Internet pages is from a Member State of the European Union or from another State party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website. Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. By each call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission calculations. By means of the cookie, personal information, for example the access time, the place from which an access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, is stored. Each time the data subject visits our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, 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 disclose this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties. The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, 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 cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs. Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics and related to the use of this website as well as to the processing of this data by Google and to prevent such processing. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to Internet pages may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as an objection. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later point in time, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. Provided that the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person attributable to his or her sphere of control, there is the option of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on. Further information and the applicable Google privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail under this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

14. privacy policy on the use and application of Google+: The controller has integrated the Google+ button as a component on this website. Google+ is a so-called social network. A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for sharing opinions and experiences or enables the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Among other things, Google+ allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests. The operating company of Google+ is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. By each call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google+ button has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective Google+ button to download a representation of the corresponding Google+ button from Google. As part of this technical process, Google receives knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject. More detailed information on Google+ is available at https://developers.google.com/+/. If the data subject is logged into Google+ at the same time, Google recognizes which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting each time the data subject calls up our website and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Google+ button and assigned by Google to the respective Google+ account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Google+ buttons integrated on our website and thus submits a Google+1 recommendation, Google assigns this information to the personal Google+ user account of the data subject and stores this personal data. Google stores the Google+1 recommendation of the data subject and makes it publicly available in accordance with the terms and conditions accepted by the data subject in this regard. A Google+1 recommendation made by the data subject on this website will subsequently be stored and processed together with other personal data, such as the name of the Google+1 account used by the data subject and the photo stored in this account, in other Google services, for example the search engine results of the Google search engine, the Google account of the data subject or in other places, for example on websites or in connection with advertisements. Furthermore, Google is able to link the visit to this website with other personal data stored by Google. Google further records this personal information with the purpose of improving or optimizing Google's various services. Google always receives information via the Google+ button that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is simultaneously logged into Google+ at the time of calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks the Google+ button or not. If the data subject does not want personal data to be transmitted to Google, he or she can prevent such transmission by logging out of his or her Google+ account before accessing our website. Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/. Further information from Google on the Google+1 button can be found at https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy.

15. data protection provisions on the use and application of Google AdWords: The controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an Internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in Google's search engine results as well as in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords 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 on topic-relevant websites by means of an automatic algorithm and in compliance with the previously defined keywords. The operating company of the Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The purpose of Google AdWords is to advertise our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and to display third-party advertising on our website. If a data subject accesses our website via a Google advertisement, a so-called conversion cookie is stored by Google on the data subject's information technology system. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. The conversion cookie is used to track whether certain subpages, for example the shopping cart from an online store system, have been called up on our website, provided the cookie has not yet expired. Through the conversion cookie, both we and Google can track whether a data subject who arrived at our website via an AdWords ad generated a sale, i.e. completed or cancelled a purchase of goods. The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to compile 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 AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our association nor other advertisers of Google AdWords receive information from Google by means of which the data subject could be identified. By means of the conversion cookie, personal information, such as the Internet pages visited by the data subject, is stored. Each time the data subject visits our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, 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 disclose this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties. The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, 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 the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs. Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from any of the internet browsers he or she uses and make the desired settings there. Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller is called up and on which an Instagram component (Insta button) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective Instagram component to download a representation of the corresponding component from Instagram. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Instagram receives knowledge about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject. If the data subject is logged in to Instagram at the same time, Instagram recognizes which specific sub-page the data subject is visiting each time the data subject calls up our website and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Instagram component and assigned by Instagram to the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, the data and information thus transmitted will be assigned to the personal Instagram user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Instagram. Instagram always receives information via the Instagram component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is simultaneously logged into Instagram at the time of calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Instagram component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Instagram, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Instagram account before accessing our website. Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Instagram can be found at https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 and https://www.instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.

17. privacy policy on the use and application of Myspace: The controller has integrated components of Myspace LLC on this website. Myspace is a so-called social network. A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space.

18. privacy policy on the use and application of SlideShare: The controller has integrated SlideShare components on this website. LinkedIn SlideShare enables as a file hosting service the exchange and archiving of presentations and other documents such as PDF files, videos and webinars. The file hosting service allows users to upload media content in all common formats, and documents can either be made publicly available or marked private. The operating company of SlideShare is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. For data protection issues outside the USA, LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible. LinkedIn SlideShare provides so-called embed codes for the media content stored there (presentations, PDF files, videos, photos, etc.). Embed codes are program codes that are embedded in Internet pages with the aim of displaying external content on one's own Internet page. Embed codes make it possible to display content on one's own website without storing it on one's own server and thereby possibly violating the reproduction rights of the respective author of the content. A further advantage of using an embed code is that the respective operator of an Internet page does not use its own storage space and its own server is thereby relieved. An embed code can be included at any place of another internet page, so that an external content can also be inserted within the own text. The purpose of using LinkedIn SlideShare is to relieve the load on our server and to avoid copyright infringements when using external content at the same time. Each time our website is accessed, which is equipped with a SlideShare component (embed codes), this component causes the browser used by them to download corresponding embedded data from SlideShare. As part of this technical procedure, LinkedIn receives knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject. If the data subject is logged into SlideShare at the same time, SlideShare recognizes which specific sub-page the data subject is visiting with each call to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by SlideShare and assigned by LinkedIn to the respective SlideShare account of the data subject. LinkedIn always receives information via the SlideShare component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is simultaneously logged into SlideShare at the time of calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the embedded media data or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to LinkedIn, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her SlideShare account before accessing our website. LinkedIn also uses partners such as Quantcast, Google Analytics, BlueKai, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Comscore, Eloqua and Lotame, which can set cookies. Such cookies can be rejected at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy. LinkedIn's applicable privacy policy is available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her YouTube account before accessing our website. The privacy policy published by YouTube, which can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

21. payment method: data protection provisions regarding PayPal as a payment method The controller has integrated components of PayPal on this website. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. In addition, PayPal offers the option of processing virtual payments via credit cards if a user does not maintain a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an email address, which is why there is no classic account number. PayPal makes it possible to initiate online payments to third parties or to receive payments as well. PayPal also assumes trustee functions and offers buyer protection services. The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg. If the data subject selects "PayPal" as a payment option during the ordering process in our online store, data of the data subject will be automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transmission of personal data required for payment processing. The personal data transmitted to PayPal are usually first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, cell phone number or other data necessary for payment processing. Also necessary for the processing of the purchase contract are such personal data that are related to the respective order. The purpose of transmitting the data is payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transmit personal data to PayPal in particular if there is a legitimate interest for the transmission. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller may be transferred by PayPal to credit reporting agencies. The purpose of this transmission is to check identity and creditworthiness. PayPal may disclose the personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors, insofar as this is necessary for the fulfillment of contractual obligations or the data is to be processed on behalf. The data subject has the possibility to revoke the consent to the handling of personal data at any time vis-à-vis PayPal. A revocation does not affect personal data that must necessarily be processed, used or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing. The applicable data protection provisions of PayPal can be found at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

22. legal basis of processing Art. 6 I lit. a DS-GVO serves our association as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for a delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b DS-GVO. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our association is subject to a legal obligation by which a processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c DS-GVO. In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d DS-GVO. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GVO. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of our association or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47 sentence 2 DS-GVO).

23. legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party: If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f DS-GVO, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

24. duration for which the personal data are stored: The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the performance of the contract or the initiation of the contract.

25. legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision: We inform you that the provision of personal data is sometimes required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our association concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will explain to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.

26. existence of automated decision-making: As a responsible association, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
