Any information there is only collected by us as directly provided by you, e.g. name and email contact.

The data collected on the ticketing website is processed based on Art. 6 para. 1 (b) and (c) GDPR in connection with German tax law.

    a) Scope of data processing

    If you signed up for one of our events or purchased goods or services on our website and deposited your e-mail address, we may subsequently use this information to send you product information by e-mail regarding the booked product or similar products of the processor. In such a case, only direct advertising for our own similar goods or services will be sent by e-mail. We will also send you emails related to your transactions, such as order confirmations, shipping notices, invoices etc.

    It is possible to subscribe to a free newsletter on our website or in our app, which contains direct advertising for our products or products of our cooperation partners.

    b) Legal basis

    The legal basis for the processing of the data when sending out the newsletter due to the prior acquisition of goods or services is Article 6 para. 1 sentence 1 (f) GDPR in conjunction with § 7 para. 3 UWG. The legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR is therefore in direct advertising and the increase in sales to existing customers.

    The legal basis for processing the data when registering directly for the newsletter is Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR.

    The legal basis for contacting in connection with current bookings is Article 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.

    The purpose of storing the e-mail address is the possibility of electronic contact for advertising purposes. The date and IP address of the registration as well as the confirmation of the registration will be recorded in order to document the consent to the newsletter shipment and to prevent misuse. Furthermore, for information regarding ongoing bookings, the proper execution of the contract is the purpose of the contact.

    The transfer to the service provider is done for the purpose of sending the newsletter as a mass mailing.

    d) Duration of storage

    If we have received your e-mail address as part of the purchase of goods or services, it will be used for the delivery of advertising until you object to further use.

    As far as you have expressly consented to the receipt of the newsletter, we will only delete or block the e-mail address for the advertising mailing, if you revoke your consent. The data confirming the order of the newsletter will be stored for the same amount of time.

    The e-mails sent, as far as business letters are concerned, are stored for the duration of retention periods of the Tax Code or the Commercial Code. The further e-mails are deleted as soon as no further response by the user has to be expected.

    e) Objection and removal possibility

    You may object or revoke your consent to the use of the e-mail address for advertising purposes at any time, without incurring any costs beyond the charges of your communications tariff. You can object to the use of any advertising mail by clicking on a link provided there with effect for the future. You may also opt-out of advertising for future use by emailing info@r-control.de. You can not contradict the use of the e-mail address for addressing in the context of the performance of the contract. If you no longer wish this, you would have to delete the account or have it deleted, otherwise we would not be able to properly fulfil the contract. Munich, April 14th, 2020
