We explain the necessary information on the use of your data as follows

2. Personal data

Personal data is information about the factual or personal circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person. This is the personal information that you provide to us when you contact us, register or order goods. Data that is collected or processed for the purpose of purely statistical surveys (e.g. about user behaviour on our websites) and cannot be assigned to a natural person is not personal data in this sense.

3. Collection, processing and use of personal data

"Collecting" is the collection of personal data. "Processing" means storing, modifying, transmitting, blocking and erasing personal data. "Use" means any use of personal data other than processing.

Personal data is collected via our websites for the purpose of processing the contractual relationship, including subsequent services, for administrative purposes and for our own marketing purposes. The legal basis for this is primarily the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Telemedia Act (TMG). Personal data is stored and processed by us in the Federal Republic of Germany.

Upon request, we will provide you with information about the data stored about you or your pseudonym free of charge. If you would like information or to contact our data protection officer, please send a message to datenschutz@owl-arena.de or send your enquiry by post. We will also correct, block or delete the data stored about you on request, insofar as this is mandatory or possible in accordance with the legal requirements.

Personal data will only be passed on if this is necessary for the processing of the contractual relationship. This is, for example, the use of a parcel service to deliver orders. In addition, depending on the payment method selected by you, personal data may be passed on to third parties for the purpose of processing payment transactions. Your data will not be transferred to third parties (e.g. for marketing purposes) or to third countries!

4. Personal data for the newsletter dispatch

If you have registered for the newsletter, we will use your email address to send you the newsletter.

You register for the newsletter by means of a double opt-in. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email asking you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter by clicking on a link contained in the confirmation email. You will not receive the newsletter until you click on the link to send the confirmation.

If you no longer wish to receive the newsletter, you can unsubscribe at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.

5. Competitions

We organise competitions at irregular intervals. In connection with competitions, we will use your personal data to notify you of any winnings. You can find more information on competitions in the terms and conditions of the respective competition. The data will be stored on the basis of your consent and for as long as it exists.
