The responsible entity decides alone or together with others on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, contact details, etc.).

 

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Some data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke your already given consent at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

 

Right to Complain to the Competent Supervisory Authority

As a data subject, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the event of a data protection violation. The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is headquartered. The following link provides a list of data protection officers and their contact details: Data Protection Officers.

 

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract automatically delivered to yourself or to a third party. The provision is made in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

 

Right to Information, Correction, Blocking, Deletion

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin, its recipients, and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. For this purpose, and also for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time via the contact options listed in the imprint.

 

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” address line of your browser and the lock symbol in the browser line.

 

Server Log Files

The provider of the website automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Visited page on our domain
  • Date and time of the server request
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • IP address

These data are not combined with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which allows the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

 

Order Processing

As part of the ordering process, you enter contact and payment data into the provided input forms. This data is used exclusively for processing your order. We only transfer this data to third parties if it is necessary for the processing of the order (e.g., payment service providers). The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which allows the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. The collected data will be deleted after the order is completed and any retention periods have expired. The processing of your order is not possible without the collection of the data.

 

Geolocation

Based on the IP address captured when accessing our content, the country from which you are accessing is determined. On this basis, it is decided whether the content can be played by you. No further localization of your location takes place. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The determination of your country of residence is necessary because usage rights to content are restricted to various territories, and the responsible party, as a licensee, is obligated to ensure that the broadcast does not occur in unlicensed territories. This is also our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The data are not stored. Determining your country of residence is essential for the use of our offer. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection.

We use an embedded player to provide content and handle payments. The provider of this player is 1o1Media GmbH, Marthashof 6, 10435 Berlin, Germany. When the player is called up, various data (IP address, operating system, browser) are transmitted to the provider to ensure optimal use. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for this purpose. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which allows the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. To use our offer, our cookies must be accepted. The cookies are technically necessary to provide the service. If no consent is given, our offer cannot be used.

 

Payment Service Providers

We have integrated payment services from third-party companies into our offer. If you make a purchase with us, the payment service provider processes various payment data (e.g., name, payment amount, account data, credit card number) to process the payment. We integrate the payment service providers into our offers to process the contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast, and convenient service (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). If consent is requested, it is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, whereby consent can be revoked at any time for the future. We do not store any credit card information in connection with payment processing.

Google Analytics

Our website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider of the web analytics service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses "cookies." These are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device and enable an analysis of the website usage.

We use Google Analytics in conjunction with the IP anonymization feature. It ensures that Google shortens your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmitting it to the USA. There may be exceptional cases in which Google transmits the full IP address to a server in the USA and shortens it there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide us with other services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
