2.5 Third-party provider 2.5.1 Matomo

This website uses the open source web analysis service "Matomo", which is operated on our own servers or on servers of our service provider. Matomo uses so-called "cookies". These are small text files that are stored on your computer and by means of which it is possible to recognise your browser on a subsequent visit if you have consented to their use. This enables us to analyse your use of the website. For this purpose, the information generated by the cookie about the use of this website is stored on our server.

Stored data include the IP address of the calling end device, by means of which a rough geolocation is also carried out, the page from which you were referred to our website (so-called referrer; in the case of a search engine referral, this may also contain the search term used), the operating system of your end device as well as the browser version and language used, resolution, active plug-ins, the time spent on the sub-page of our website as well as the number of sub-pages called up. The IP address is anonymised before storage by deleting the last two octets (e.g. 192.168.xxx.xxx). By deleting the last octet, a rough geolocation is possible, but a recognition of your terminal device by means of the IP address is excluded.

The purpose of the processing is the anonymised analysis of user behaviour in order to optimise our web offer and our advertising. The information collected and stored in this context about the use of this website is not passed on to third parties.

The legal basis for the collection and processing of data is your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO, insofar as you have given it to us. You can revoke your consent at any time by sending a corresponding message to the contact details provided by our data protection officer, in the manner described above or by deleting the corresponding cookies in your browser. You will then be asked again during your next visit to our website for technical reasons whether you consent to the use of cookies by our website.

2.5.2 egocentric Systems GmbH

For the purchase of tickets to the Central European Rally and the associated accounting and payment processes, we use the ticketing platform of egocentric Systems GmbH (hereinafter "egocentric"), Herweghstraße 4, 01157 Dresden.

The privacy policy of egocentric Systems can be accessed at the following link: https://egocentric- systems.de/datenschutzerklaerung/.
It provides further details on egocentric's processing procedures.

2.5.2.1 Ticket shop

On our website, we integrate the egocentric ticket shop through a so-called inline frame in order to enable direct ticket sales. Within the inline frame, a direct connection to egocentric's website is established. We receive access from egocentric Systems to your personal data provided in the context of the ticket purchase.

The purpose of this processing is the preparation and follow-up of the event as well as its implementation and better planning of future event offers.

The use is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. The ticket purchase creates a contractual relationship between you and us.

2.5.2.2 Payment procedure

egocentric integrates payment services from third-party companies in the ticketing system we use. If you make a purchase via the ticketing platform integrated on our website, your payment data (e.g. name, payment amount, account details, credit card number) will be processed by the payment service provider for the purpose of payment processing. The respective contractual and data protection provisions of the respective providers apply to these transactions. The payment service providers are used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO (contract processing) as well as in the interest of a smooth, convenient and secure payment process (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO). Insofar as your consent is requested for certain actions, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO is the legal basis for data processing; consents can be revoked at any time for the future.

2.5.3 Google

Insofar as you have given your voluntary consent, which can be revoked at any time, we are entitled to use Google Analytics and Google Ads on this website. These are tools offered by Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

 

2.5.3.1 Google Analytics

Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. This information generated by the cookie is transmitted to a server of the parent company (Google LLC) in the USA and stored there. Before this transfer, IP masking takes place, whereby your IP address is usually anonymised before it is stored and transferred to the USA. This is done by shortening the last octet (for IPv4 addresses) or the last 80 bits (for IPv6 addresses) of your IP address in the RAM of the terminal device you are using. Through this anonymisation, it is practically no longer possible to assign the IP address to you.

The anonymisation of your IP address takes place by default on servers within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases (e.g. in the event of a technical defect within the European Union) will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server outside the EEA and shortened there.

The data collected is used to evaluate the use of our website and to create reports about the activities on the website. These reports in turn allow us to analyse the performance of our website. Consent is only valid for the purposes stated. The collected data cannot be used or stored for any purpose other than those listed below.

The legal basis is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future; all you need to do is send an email to the above contact address or delete the cookies in your browser.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. The data will be deleted after 14 months.

You can also prevent the storage of cookies from the outset by configuring your browser software accordingly. However, if you configure your browser to reject all cookies, this may restrict functionalities on this and other websites. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing of this data by Google by not giving your consent to the setting of the cookie or by downloading and installing the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

For more information on Google Analytics' terms of use and Google's privacy policy, please visit https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/de/ and https://policies.google.com/?hl=de.

We would like to point out that with the discontinuation of the EU-US Privacy Shield, there is currently no adequacy decision for the United States within the meaning of Article 45 (3) of the GDPR of the Commission for a sufficient level of data protection. Therefore, we conclude standard data protection clauses within the meaning of Article 46 (2) (c) of the GDPR with Google to protect your data.

2.5.3.2 Google Ads

 

Within the framework of Google Ads, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify the user. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked across Google Ads clients' websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. Clients learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. The storage of "conversion cookies" and the use of this tracking tool are based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to store cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO; the consent can be revoked at any time.

You can find more information on Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

We would like to point out that with the discontinuation of the EU-US Privacy Shield, there is currently no adequacy decision for the United States within the meaning of Article 45 (3) of the GDPR of the Commission for a sufficient level of data protection. Therefore, we conclude standard data protection clauses within the meaning of Article 46 (2) (c) of the GDPR with Google to protect your data.

We operate our own social media sites, for which we are jointly responsible with the operator of the respective social media platform. In this regard, we have in each case concluded a joint responsibility agreement pursuant to Art. 26 DSGVO with the respective operators. In detail, these are:

  • Facebook (Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland)

Processing of your personal data by us

When you visit one of our social media sites, we, as the operator of the social media site, process your actions and interactions with our social media site (e.g. the content of your messages, enquiries, posts or comments that you send to us or leave on our social media sites or when you like or share our posts) as well as your publicly viewable profile data (e.g. your name and profile picture). Which personal data from your profile is publicly viewable depends on your profile settings, which you can adjust yourself in your settings on the social media platform. In general, please take care not to transmit or share sensitive data or confidential information (e.g. application documents, bank or payment data) via social media platforms. We recommend that you use a more secure means of transmission (e.g. letter post, e-mail).

We operate our social media pages and process the aforementioned data in order to provide information about us and our products and to communicate with our followers and interested parties.

This data processing is carried out on the basis of our aforementioned legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) and, where applicable, in order to respond to your messages, enquiries, posts or comments that you send to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO). We check whether comments or other interactions on our social media pages violate applicable law or the respective community guidelines and delete corresponding comments if necessary. In the event that such comments occur frequently, we may process the user names involved for internal coordination purposes. We base this processing on our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) in providing a reputable online presence and meeting legal requirements.

The socia media platforms also provide us with anonymous usage statistics (so-called analysis services or page insights data) of our socia media pages based on the actions and interactions of our followers (e.g. likes, shares, comments, etc.), The data is used to help us contact our followers and interested parties, to understand the use and reach of our posts, to evaluate content and to recognise usage preferences, and to design our Socia Media pages to be as target group-oriented as possible. We have no influence or access to the compilation and processing of these usage statistics and the underlying data; it is carried out on our own responsibility by the operator of the respective Socia-Media platform and without us being able to view personal data of individual followers or users. This data processing is based on our aforementioned legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO).

We also use these anonymous usage statistics to display targeted interest-based advertisements on the social media platforms we use or to highlight our posts. The display of interest-based advertisements or the highlighting of posts on the socia-media platforms used by us is based on an analysis of the user's previous usage behaviour by the respective socia-media platform without us being able to view personal data of individual users or merge it with personal data processed by us, if applicable, or obtain knowledge of the identity of the users to whom interest-based advertisements are displayed. This data processing is based on our aforementioned legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO). Insofar as, in the context of interest-based advertising, we would exceptionally carry out a so-called extended comparison with customer lists to be uploaded by us to the respective socia-media platform, this would only take place on the basis of consent granted by you for this purpose (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO).

We process your personal data as long as this is necessary for the aforementioned purposes. In the event of an objection to processing on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO), we delete personal data unless their further processing is permitted under the relevant legal provisions. We also delete personal data if we are obliged to do so for other legal reasons. Applying these general principles, we generally delete personal data immediately after the legal basis ceases to exist, if it is no longer required for the stated purposes or if the stated purposes cease to exist and if there is no other legal basis (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law), otherwise after the other legal basis ceases to exist.

We only transfer your personal data if you have given us your consent to do so or if this is absolutely necessary to fulfil a contract with you or to protect our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, b and/or f DSGVO).

Processing of your personal data by the operator of the respective socia-media platform

The operator of the respective Socia-Media platform is solely responsible for the processing of personal data on the Socia-Media platform itself on which we operate our Socia-Media pages. The operator of the Socia-Media platform processes your personal data when you visit one of our Socia-Media pages, regardless of whether you have a user account on the respective Socia-Media platform or are logged in on the respective Socia-Media platform, and usually also uses cookies and other storage and (sometimes cross-device) tracking technologies.

TikTok Privacy Policy at https://www.tiktok.com/legal/privacy-policy-eea?lang=de&selection=true

The socia media platforms also provide us with anonymous usage statistics (so-called page insights data) of our socia media pages based on the actions and interactions of our followers. We have no influence or access to the compilation and processing of these usage statistics and the underlying data, it is carried out under the sole responsibility of the operator of the respective Socia-Media platform and without us being able to view personal data of individual followers or users. It may happen that the socia- media platforms themselves compile personalised usage statistics, for example for their own market research, advertising, other commercial or business purposes, and also process personal data outside the European Union, which we also have no influence over or access to.

Third country transfer

For the purposes of the above-mentioned data processing, we also transfer your personal data to recipients who are based outside the EU/EEA.

Attention. There is currently no adequacy decision by the European Commission for the USA. However, we have concluded standard data protection clauses with Facebook, which are intended to ensure that your personal data is handled in a manner comparable to the European and German level of data protection. The legal basis for a data transfer to the USA is therefore Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c DSGVO (standard data protection clauses).

Contact

The contact person for exercising your rights is primarily the operator of the respective Socia-Media platform, who alone can provide direct access to the required information or the functionality of the respective platform and take direct appropriate measures. The contact persons for exercising your rights vis-à-vis the operators of the respective Socia-Media platform and further information can be found in the information on data protection on the following websites of the respective Socia-Media platform

  1. Facebook Data Policy at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation

  2. Instagram privacy policy at https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875

Insofar as our support is possible or necessary, we will of course support you and, for example, forward your request to exercise your rights against the operators of the respective socia-media platform.

Contact points for exercising your rights against us can be found at the beginning of this privacy policy.

6. SOLUTION

   

Personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies or you request the deletion of your data. The data will also be deleted if a storage period prescribed by the

aforementioned standard expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract or you have given your consent in this regard.

7.THIRD COUNTRY TRANSFERS

Among other things, tools from companies based in third countries, such as the USA, are integrated on our website. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the respective servers of the companies located in third countries.

In this context, we would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country in the sense of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on servers in the USA or accessible from the USA for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Data is transferred abroad, including to countries outside the EU or the EEA. An adequate level of data protection is ensured through the use of various security mechanisms. This can be, for example, an adequacy decision of the EU Commission within the meaning of Article 45 (1) of the GDPR; Binding internal data protection rules of the recipient within the meaning of Article 47 of the GDPR or other suitable guarantees. If no generally effective guarantees are available, we base the processing on standard contractual clauses concluded with the providers by the EU Commission within the meaning of Art. 46 (2) c of the GDPR. These measures ensure a sufficient level of data protection.

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right against the controller to be informed about these recipients.

8.6 Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data has been provided, provided that

  • the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DSGVO or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO and

  • the processing is carried out with the aid of automated procedures.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.

8.7 Right of objection

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) DSGVO; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. If the personal data concerning you is processed for the purposes of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

8.8 Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the possibility, in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

8.9 Automated decision in individual cases including profiling

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

  • is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the responsible person

  • is authorised by legislation of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject and that legislation contains adequate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or

  • is done with your express consent.

However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Art. 9(2)(a) or (g) of the GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

8.10 Right to complain to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.
