Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we process or have the data processed in a third country only if the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. GDPR are met.

Information on the cookies we use can be found mainly in our cookie policy.
12. Deletion, anonymization and retention of data
12.1. The data processed by us will be deleted in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR. Unless expressly stated in this data protection declaration, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for their intended purpose and the deletion in particular does not conflict with any statutory retention requirements. If the data is not deleted because its processing is required for other and legally permissible purposes, processing will be restricted. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes.
12.2. Instead of deleting your data, we may anonymize it in such a way that it is irreversibly impossible to restore personal references in the future.
12.3 According to the legal requirements, storage takes place in particular for 6 years in accordance with § 257 Paragraph 1 HGB (trading books, inventories, opening balance sheets, annual financial statements, commercial letters, accounting documents, etc.) and for 10 years in accordance with § 147 Paragraph 1 AO (books , Records, management reports, accounting documents, commercial and business letters, documents relevant for taxation, etc.).
13. Provision of contractual services
13.1. We process inventory data (e.g. salutation, first and last name, title, home address or company address) as well as contract data (e.g. subject matter of the contract, user name or payment information) for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual obligations and services in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR . The information marked as mandatory in online forms is required for the conclusion of the contract.
13.2. As part of the provision of our contractual obligations and services - in particular in the context of ticketing - we generally create user accounts. In particular, the user accounts enable you to inspect the orders you have placed. As part of the registration process, you will be given the required information. The user accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines. As part of the deletion of your user account (see no. 13.3 below), we will irretrievably remove all data stored by you or by us during the term of the contract from all systems. It is therefore your responsibility to secure your data if you cancel or before the 3 years have expired.
13.3. The deletion of your user account and all data contained therein (e.g. order data) takes place after 3 years after registration or at any time after you have given notice of termination, except for deletion, there are retention obligations for reasons of commercial or tax law in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit . c GDPR contrary.
13.4 As part of the registration and renewed registrations as well as the use of our online services, we save your IP address and the respective time of the action for 6 months. This data is stored on the basis of our and your legitimate interests to prove the respective action and to protect against misuse and other unauthorized use. We delete this data after 6 months. Should the further storage of this data be necessary for evidence purposes, these data are excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified. This data is generally not passed on to third parties, unless it is necessary to pursue our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR.
14. Visiting a trade fair or event, surveillance of the site, recordings (outside of the online offer)
14.1. Film, television and photo recordings are usually made at trade fairs and other events. The data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR (public relations / marketing purposes). The recordings may be published to present our activities on our website as well as in social media channels and / or in print media. We will provide you with further information on the respective processing - if necessary - on the respective trade fair or event day or in individual cases in advance.
14.2. At trade fairs and other events, we usually use surveillance cameras with a recording function on the premises. We save the recordings made. The recordings are only stored for as long as they are required for the purposes mentioned below. In the present case, the data is deleted after a period of 72 hours - after 3 days. Processing takes place in accordance with Section 4 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 No. 2 and 3 BDSG or, if applicable, in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. insofar as it is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject (cf. Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c) GDPR, e.g. to secure evidence). Processing in accordance with Section 4 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 No. 2 and 3 BDSG is carried out in accordance with Section 4 Paragraph 1 Clause 2 No. 1 BDSG for the protection of life, health or the freedom of those on the premises (visitors). Furthermore, we have a legitimate interest in deterring possible criminals and in securing evidence in the event of an attempted or completed crime at our expense or at the expense of a visitor. There is therefore a legitimate interest in the prevention and, if necessary, prosecution of criminal offenses. We will provide you with further information on the respective processing - if necessary - on the respective trade fair or event day or in individual cases in advance.
14.3 We always keep one - if necessary several - surveillance camera (s) available on the premises, which, however, have no recording function. The image data of the recordings are transferred in real time to a monitor in the fire protection center (camera-monitor principle), which only plays back this data - ie without the possibility of storage. The image data are therefore not recorded or stored. Processing takes place in accordance with Article 6 (1) (d) GDPR to protect the vital interests of the people on the premises (detection of fires). We have a fire protection concept for this, which includes real-time video monitoring to detect fires. Processing is also carried out in accordance with Section 4 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 No. 3 BDSG to safeguard legitimate interests, which means in particular to protect the life and health of the people on the premises (see Section 4 Paragraph 1 Sentence 2 No. 1 BDSG). We will provide you with further information on the respective processing - if necessary - on the respective trade fair or event day or in individual cases in advance.
15. Contacting us
15.1. When you contact us (using the contact form, telephone, fax, post or email), your data will be processed to process your request and process it in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The information marked as mandatory in the contact form is required to process your request.
15.2. We generally delete inquiries 3 months after they have been received, but at the latest if they have been answered. In the case of statutory retention requirements, the deletion takes place after they have expired (6 years under commercial law / 10 years under tax law).
15.3. You can object to the use of your personal data for advertising purposes at any time, either as a whole or for individual measures, without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.
Subject to the legal requirements of Section 7 (3) UWG, we are authorised to use the email address you provided when concluding the contract for direct advertising for our own similar goods or services. You will receive these product recommendations from us regardless of whether you have subscribed to a newsletter.
If you do not wish to receive such recommendations from us by e-mail, you can object to the use of your address for this purpose at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. A message in text form is sufficient for this. Of course, each e-mail always contains an unsubscribe link.
16. Integration of share buttons for sharing content in social networks
We do not use any social plug-ins from social networks that collect data on our website. In order to enable uncomplicated sharing of content on our websites in social media, the so-called Shariff solution is used for our share buttons (further information can be found at: https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/ Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html).
This prevents our users' data from being passed on to social networks without their knowledge when they visit our website. The share buttons according to the Shariff solution only create a link to the corresponding social network on request - ie only after the user has clicked on a share button. The user can then share the content of our website with other users, provided that he is logged into the relevant social network. This process is designed a little differently for every social network. After clicking on the share button, the content to be shared as well as the IP address and the general header information of the user's browser are transmitted to the respective social network. We would like to point out that we have no knowledge of the content of the (personal) data transmitted in the further course or their use by the social networks.
The share buttons described above are offered for the following social networks in accordance with the Shariff solution:

17. Online presence in social media
17.1. We maintain an online presence within social networks and platforms in order to be able to communicate with the customers, interested parties and users active there and to be able to inform them about our services. When calling up the social networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and the data processing guidelines of the respective operator apply.
17.2 Unless otherwise stated in our privacy policy, we process your data if you communicate it within social networks and platforms, e.g. by posting articles on our online presence or sending us messages.
17.3 We point out that your data can also be processed by the respective operator outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. As a result, risks can arise for you, in particular the enforcement of rights can be made more difficult. With regard to US operators who are certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield, we would also like to point out that they have also committed to complying with EU data protection standards.
17.4 If you click the button of the respective operator, you will be redirected to our respective online presence in a separate browser window and there - provided you are logged into your user account - you can share or subscribe to our news, among other things. The button establishes a direct connection between your browser and the server of the respective operator. The respective operator receives the information that you have visited our website with your IP address. The respective operator can collect further data as soon as you use their offers. In addition, it is then possible for the respective operator to assign your visit to our website - provided you are logged into your user account - to you and your user account.
17.5 In addition, your data will usually be processed for market research and advertising. This means that profiles can be created from your usage behavior and the preferences and interests derived from it. Such profiles can be used, for example, to place appropriate advertisements on the basis of the interests determined within our online presence or on other online presences or websites. Cookies are stored and stored on your device, with the help of which data on usage behavior can be collected and bundled for further processing - to determine your interests. This data can be collected and bundled - especially if you are logged into your user account - across multiple devices that you use.
17.6 The processing of data takes place on the basis of our legitimate interest in effective information and direct communication with you in relation to our online offer in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
17.7 If you should request information or want to exercise other rights to which you are entitled, we ask you to first contact the respective operator directly.

18. Links
We do not use any social plug-ins from social networks that collect data on our website. If we do not use the Shariff solution, we only set links on our websites to social networks. This prevents our users' data from being passed on to social networks without their knowledge when they visit our website. The links only create a connection to our online presence of the respective social network on request - therefore only after the user has clicked on a link. After clicking on the link, the IP address and the general header information of the user's browser are transmitted to the respective social network. The respective social network can collect further data as soon as you use its offers.

If the contents of the newsletter are specifically described when registering for the newsletter, they are decisive for the consent. In addition, our newsletters contain information about our products, offers, promotions and our company.
19.3 Logging of double opt-in and changes: The registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with someone else's e-mail address. The registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with the legal requirements. This includes saving the time of registration and confirmation, as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored by the shipping service provider are also logged.
19.4 Dispatch service provider: The newsletter is dispatched by rapidmail GmbH Wentzingerstraße 21, 79106 Freiburg im Breisgau, hereinafter referred to as "dispatch service provider".
19.5 If you subscribe to the newsletter of the dispatch service provider, the data in the respective input mask will be transmitted to the person responsible for processing. The registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an email in which you will be asked to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with someone else's e-mail address. When registering for the newsletter, the user's IP address and the date and time of registration are saved. This serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address of the person concerned. The data will not be passed on to third parties. There is an exception if there is a legal obligation to pass it on. The data will only be used to send the newsletter. The data subject can cancel the subscription to the newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data can also be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for this purpose.

The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is Section 7 (3) UWG.
19.6 Use of rapidmail
Description and purpose: We use rapidmail to send newsletters. The provider is rapidmail GmbH, Wentzingerstraße, 21, 79106 Freiburg, Germany. With rapidmail, among other things, the dispatch of newsletters is organized and analyzed. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored on rapidmail's servers in Germany. If you do not want an analysis by rapidmail, you have to unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this in every newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website. For the purpose of analysis, the emails sent with rapidmail contain a so-called tracking pixel, which connects to the rapidmail servers when the email is opened. In this way it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened. Furthermore, with the help of rapidmail, we can determine whether and which links are clicked on in the newsletter message. All links in the email are so-called tracking links, with which your clicks can be counted.
Legal basis: The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
Recipient: The recipient of the data is rapidmail GmbH.
Transfer to third countries: The data will not be transferred to third countries.
Duration: The data stored by us as part of your consent for the purpose of the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers as well as from the servers of rapidmail after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. This does not affect data that we have stored for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the members' area).
Revocation option: You have the option of revoking your consent to data processing with effect for the future at any time. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.
Further data protection information: For more information, see the data security information from rapidmail at: https://www.rapidmail.de/datensicherheit. For more information on rapidmail's analysis functions, see the following link: https://www.rapidmail.de/wissen-und-hilfe

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