2. definitions of terms

We have designed our privacy policy in accordance with the principles of clarity and transparency. However, if there are any ambiguities regarding the use of various terms, the corresponding definitions can be viewed here.

3. Legal basis for the processing of data

a) Processing of personal data in accordance with the GDPR

We only process your personal data, such as your surname and first name, your email address and IP address, etc., if there is a legal basis for doing so. According to the General Data Protection Regulation, the following regulations in particular come into consideration.

Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR: The data subject has given their consent to the processing of personal data concerning them for one or more specific purposes.
Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject
Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d GDPR: Processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person
Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e GDPR: processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller
Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR: processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child

However, we will always point out the legal basis for the processing of your personal data at the relevant points in this privacy policy

b) Consent of the legal guardian pursuant to Art. 8 para. 1 sentence 2 alt. 2 GDPR

A legal guardian must consent to all data processing on this website for which the consent of a minor who has not yet reached the age of 16 is required.

Information on the individual data processing operations, their purposes and the categories of data concerned for which the consent of the data subject is required can be found in the privacy policy.

You can revoke your consent at any time by sending a declaration of revocation in text form to the contact details of the controller. The processing remains lawful until revocation.

c) Processing of information in accordance with Section 25 (1) TDDDG

We also process information in accordance with Section 25 (1) TDDDG by storing information on your terminal equipment or accessing information that is already stored on your terminal equipment. This may involve both personal information and non-personal data, e.g. cookies, browser fingerprints, advertising IDs, MAC addresses and IMEI numbers. Terminal equipment is any equipment connected directly or indirectly to the interface of a public telecommunications network for sending, processing or receiving messages, Section 2 (2) No. 6 TDDDG.

As a rule, we process this information on the basis of your consent, Section 25 (1) TDDDG.

Insofar as an exception according to § 25 para. 2 no. 1 and no. 2 TDDDG is given, we do not require consent. Such an exception is given if we only access or store the information in order to transmit a message via a public telecommunications network or if this is absolutely necessary so that we can provide a telemedia service expressly requested by you. You can revoke your consent at any time.

We inform you that the withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

4. Disclosure of personal data

The disclosure of personal data also constitutes processing within the meaning of the previous section 3. However, we would like to inform you separately about the issue of disclosure to third parties at this point. The protection of your personal data is very important to us. For this reason, we are particularly careful when it comes to passing on your data to third parties.

Data is therefore only passed on to third parties if there is a legal basis for the processing. For example, we pass on personal data to persons or companies who work for us as processors in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. A processor is anyone who processes personal data on our behalf - i.e. in particular in a relationship of instruction and control with us.

In accordance with the requirements of the GDPR, we conclude a contract with each of our processors in order to oblige them to comply with data protection regulations and thus ensure comprehensive protection of your data.

5. Storage period and deletion

Your personal data will be deleted by us if it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed, if the processing is not necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for the fulfilment of a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

6. SSL or TLS encryption

This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the enquiries you send to us as the website operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

7. Cookies

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small data packets that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your end device when you visit our website. These cookies are used to store information in connection with the end device used.

When cookies are used, a distinction is made between technically necessary cookies and “other” cookies. Technically necessary cookies are those that are absolutely necessary in order to provide an information society service that you have expressly requested.

a) Technically necessary cookies

In order to make the use of our website more convenient for you, we use technically necessary cookies, which may be so-called session cookies (e.g. language and font selection, shopping basket, etc.), consent cookies, cookies to ensure server stability and security, etc. The legal basis for the cookies results from Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, our legitimate interest in the error-free operation of the website and the interest in providing you with our services in an optimized manner.

b) Other cookies

Other cookies include cookies for statistical, analytical, marketing and retargeting purposes.

We use these cookies on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR.

You can revoke your consent to the use of cookies at any time.

We inform you that the withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

To do this, you can either edit your cookie settings on our website, deactivate the use of cookies in your browser settings (whereby this may also restrict the functionality of the online offer) or set an opt-out for the corresponding service in individual cases.

We will inform you of the legal basis on which this data is processed for the respective services within the privacy policy.

8. Cookie banner / consent management

We use the cookie banner of the service provider Jaohawi AB, Håltegelvägen 1b, 72348 Västerås, Sweden to obtain consent for the cookies we use. This sets a so-called consent cookie in order to query and process the respective consent status. This consent cookie is technically necessary and is therefore used on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, § 25 para. 1 TDDDG.

For the use of some services of the Google/Alphabet Group, we use the so-called Google Consent Mode V2 in Advanced Mode. Details on this consent mode can be found on the Google website athttps://developers.google.com/tagplatform/security/guides/consent?hl=de&consentmode=advancedand in the Google services concerned.

The use of Consent Mode is technically necessary and is therefore used on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

9. collection and storage of personal data and their type and purpose of use

a) External hosting

Our website is hosted by Vercel Inc, 340S Lemon Ave #4133, Walnut, CA 91789, United States. For this reason, all personal data collected on our website is stored on the servers of our hoster, unless an external service of a third party is integrated. This may be the IP address, your email address, communication data or similar. You can find out which specific personal data is involved in the individual functions and services explained by us below. If we use an external service from a third party, this will be made clear in the description of the respective service or tool.

The hoster only processes your data on our instructions and insofar as this is necessary to fulfil the services on the website. The hoster does not process the data for its own purposes. We have concluded an order processing contract with the host.

b) When visiting the website

When you visit our website, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is collected without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted

IP address of the requesting computer
Date and time of access
Name and URL of the retrieved file
Website from which the access was made (referrer URL)
Browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer

The aforementioned data is processed by us for the following purposes

Ensuring a smooth connection to the website

Analyzing system security and stability
error analysis
For further administrative purposes

Data that allows conclusions to be drawn about your person, such as the IP address, will be deleted after 7 days at the latest. If we store the data beyond this period, this data is pseudonymized so that it can no longer be traced back to you.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.

c) Newsletter via Brevo

If you have expressly consented in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, we will use your email address and your first name to send you our newsletter on a regular basis.

The registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registering, you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no-one can register with other people's email addresses. Subscriptions to the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored by the mailing service provider are also logged.

This website uses Brevo for the sending of newsletters. The provider is the Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany.

Brevo services can, among other things, be used to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter are archived on servers of Sendinblue GmbH in Germany.

Brevo enables us to analyze our newsletter campaigns. For instance, it allows us to see whether a newsletter message has been opened and, if so, which links may have been clicked. This enables us to determine, which links drew an extraordinary number of clicks.

Moreover, we are also able to see whether once the e-mail was opened or a link was clicked, any previously defined actions were taken (conversion rate). This allows us to determine whether you have made a purchase after clicking on the newsletter.

If you do not want to permit an analysis by Brevo, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for you to do this in every newsletter message.

For detailed information on the functions of Brevo please follow this link: https://www.brevo.com/de/newsletter-software/

Storage period

The data deposited with us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or the newsletter service provider and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored for other purposes with us remain unaffected.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if such action is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is indefinite. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

Data processing

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with Brevo.

For more details, please consult the Data Protection Regulations of Brevo at: https://www.brevo.com/de/datenschutz-uebersicht/
and
https://www.brevo.com/de/legal/privacypolicy/

d) WhatsApp communication and WhatsApp newsletter via hellomateo

We use the instant messaging service WhatsApp on our website to offer you another way to contact us and keep you up to date with festival news.

The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland.

Reason for offering this service is that WhatsApp is the most widely used messaging tool. Despite we would like to point out that it has faced criticism in the past as a META company regarding data protection.

In order to address this criticism and still being able to use WhatsApp, we have decided to use the WhatsApp Business API as a technical interface: This way, your personal data is not stored by WhatsApp itself, but by our business solution provider hellomateo, with whom we have concluded a data processing agreement that ensures that personal data may only be processed on our instructions.

The provider is Mateo Estate GmbH, 14467 Potsdam. You can find the data protection information at https://www.hellomateo.de/datenschutz.

The cloud API provided by hellomateo is hosted in Germany. The content of the messages sent via the WhatsApp Business API is protected by end-to-end encryption so that Meta has no access to the content of the messages. The message is only stored temporarily in the Cloud API and then forwarded to the recipient in encrypted form.

Customer hotline

You can contact us via WhatsApp and ask us questions. This enables us to respond to your enquiry more efficiently.

If you communicate with us via WhatsApp, we process your phone number to communicate with you. In addition, we process messages and files that you send to us via the app. According to hellomateo, no other (meta) data such as profile picture, location or last online status is exchanged.

Communication with you via WhtasApp takes place for the fulfilment of our contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit b GDPR.

WhatsApp newsletter

If you communicate with us via WhtasApp, we offer you the opportunity to subscribe to our WhatsApp newsletter in a message to keep you up to date with festival news.

We use your telephone number to send the WhtasApp newsletter.

This is done with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

The registration for our WatsApp newsletter takes place in a so-called opt-in procedure. This means that after you have registered for our WhatsApp newsletter by answering ‘yes’, you will receive a text message from us asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no-one can register using someone else's e-phone number. Subscriptions to the WhatsApp newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the time of registration and confirmation.

You can revoke your consent at any time by writing ‘Stop’ via WhatsApp to unsubscribe.

e) Facebook-/Instagram-Messaging and E-Mais via hellomateo

In order to respond to your emails and messages on social media channels more efficiently, we have decided to use hellomateo as a central platform where all messages from different channels are collected, assigned and processed. The platform enables us to respond quickly and effectively to enquiries by managing communication clearly in one place via your preferred channel.

The processed data includes:
- your name or username
- your email address
- social media profile information
- your IP address
- Content of messages and requests
- Timestamp of the communication
- usage data

The data is stored on secure HelloMateo servers located within the European Union. We have concluded an order processing contract with Mateo Estate GmbH, 14467 Potsdam. You can find the data protection information at https://www.hellomateo.de/datenschutz.

Your data will only be used to answer your enquiry and for communication purposes. Your data will not be analysed for marketing purposes.

The legal basis for the aforementioned data processing is the fulfilment of our contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit b GDPR.

f) Press area

On our website you have the opportunity to register as a journalist or press representative for our press mailing list and/or apply for accreditation.

1. press news letter registration / press distribution list

The contents of the newsletter are described in detail when you register for the newsletter. To subscribe to the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide your email address. If you provide further voluntary information, such as your name and/or gender, this will be used exclusively to personalize the newsletter addressed to you.

Double opt-in and logging

For security reasons, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure to register for our newsletter so that nobody can register with other people’s e-mail addresses. After registering for our newsletter, you will therefore first receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. Only when you confirm your registration will it become effective.

Furthermore, your registration for the newsletter will be logged. The logging includes the storage of the time of registration and confirmation, the data you provide and your IP address. If you make changes to your data, these changes will also be logged.

Cancellation

If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter, you can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. To do so, you can click on the unsubscribe link at the end of each newsletter or send us an e-mail to the following e-mail address: E-mail address

The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the corresponding tools. We would like to point out that we have no influence on whether and to what extent the service providers carry out further data processing.

a) Google Consent Mode v2 - Advanced

For the use of some services of the Google/Alphabet Group, we use the so-called Google Consent Mode V2 in Advanced Mode.

This means that if you do not give your consent in our cookie banner, your client still sends ping information with IP address, timestamp, user agent and referral URL to Google. The IP address is anonymized on the Google servers. This data is used for conversion modelling in order to optimize ads despite the lack of consent or technical restrictions and to improve automatic bid settings.

Details on this consent mode can be found on the Google website at https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/security/guides/consent?hl=de&consentmode=advanced

The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

b) Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics on our website, a web analytics service provided by Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter “Google”).

Google Analytics uses cookies in this context (see section 7). The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website, such as

Name and version of the browser used
Operating system of your computer
Website from which the access is made (referrer URL)
IP address of the requesting computer

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

We have concluded an order processing contract with Google.

This enables us to record the effectiveness of Facebook adverts for statistical and market research purposes. In particular, if you are logged in to Facebook, we refer you to their data protection information https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

f) Google Signals

We use Google Signals on our website, an extension of Google Analytics, to collect and analyse cross-device user data.

Responsibility for data protection-compliant operation must be guaranteed by the respective provider.

a) Instagram

We use functions of the Instagram service on our websites, which is operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd (Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland). However, we integrate this provider via a local API. This allows us to use this service in the front end without visitors’ data flowing to the provider.

You can find more information on this in Instagram’s privacy policy: http://instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/

b) TikTok

We use functions of the TikTok service on our website, which is operated by TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland (“TikTok”).

12. image, sound and video integration

a) YouTube

We embed videos from YouTube, which is operated by Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), into our website as part of iFrame and/or via a plug-in. As part of embedding the videos, we have activated YouTube’s extended data protection mode.

If you play a YouTube video during your visit, a connection to the YouTube servers is established and the YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. This allows YouTube to associate your surfing behaviour directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your member account before visiting our website. In addition, YouTube sets various cookies when the service is started in order to improve the services it offers and to prevent misuse.

Further information on the handling of user data and the cookies set can be found in YouTube’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy

By integrating YouTube, Google Fonts are also dynamically loaded by Google without the website operator or visitor having to actively determine this. These web fonts are integrated by a server call, usually a Google server in the USA. This may result in the following being transmitted to the server and stored by Google

Name and version of the browser used
Website from which the request was triggered (referrer URL)
Operating system of your computer
Screen resolution of your computer
IP address of the requesting computer
Language settings of the browser or operating system used by the user

Further information can be found in Google’s privacy policy, which you can access here:
www.google.com/fonts#AboutPlace:about

b) Vimeo

We embed videos from Vimeo.com, Inc, (330 West 34th Street, 5th Floor, New York 10001 USA) into our website as part of iFrame and/or PlugIn.

If you play a Vimeo video during your visit, a connection to the Vimeo servers is established and the Vimeo server is informed which of our pages you have visited. This allows Vimeo to assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your user account before visiting our website. In addition, Vimeo sets various cookies when the service is started in order to improve the services it offers and to prevent misuse.

Further information on data processing and information on data protection by Vimeo can be found at https://vimeo.com/privacy.

The legal basis results from the consent you have given in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time by changing the cookie setting on our website.

c) Spotify

We use the Spotify service on our website, operated by Spotify AB, Regeringsgatan 19, SE-111 53 Stockholm, Sweden. The Spotify player is integrated via the Spotify widget so that music and podcasts can be played directly on our website.

To display the Spotify player, a JavaScript file is loaded from Spotify’s servers via HTTPS. This file is executed in the user’s browser and loads the player in an iframe. This results in a request from the user’s browser to Spotify, which automatically transmits personal data to Spotify. The transmitted data includes

IP address,
Browser type and version,
operating system,
referrer URL,
Information about the device (e.g. device type, screen resolution).
If applicable, your Spotify account data (if you are logged in).

The data is processed by Spotify to ensure the technical provision and functionality of the player. In addition, the data collected is used to optimise the service and analyse user behaviour. Spotify therefore acts as its own controller.

Further information on the processing of personal data by Spotify can be found in Spotify’s privacy policy and in the Security and Privacy Centre.

The integration of the Spotify player and the associated data processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time. The processing of your personal data remains lawful until the revocation is received.
