Telephone: +4930880010400

Fax: +4930880010419

basic concepts

Among other things, the concern of the new legal regulations on data protection is to make this privacy statement easy to understand for them. Unfortunately, this is only possible if you know and understand some basic terms of data processing. We will explain some important terms below, but we can not explain all the necessary terminology in the context of this declaration. If you have further questions or do not understand formulations, please contact the person named above. Also on the internet you will find many terms explained in detail.

What are “cookies”?

Cookies are small text modules. These text modules are automatically downloaded from websites that you visit with your internet-enabled device (eg computer, smartphone) and stored on your device. These text modules contain information that allows us to recognize the computer you are using when you return to our website and to adapt our Internet pages and, where applicable, the advertising displayed there to your interests.

There are different types of cookies.

As a rule, we or service providers commissioned by us use so-called “permanent cookies”. These remain on your device even if you close your Internet browser. Such a cookie is automatically accessed when you revisit the web page that created this cookie. This will allow your device to be automatically identified on return to the visited web page, so you do not need to reenter a password, for example. In such cookies but also information about visited websites and thus about your interests can be stored. With this information, for example, advertising service providers are in a position to display advertisements on the websites you are visiting that correspond to their interests. This is also at a later date,

We assure you that the cookies we store are free from malicious software and do not alter anything except the space used on your computer system.

Please also note our notes on your options to prevent the storage or use of cookies under section 13.

What is an “IP address”?

The IP address is assigned in computer networks, such as the Internet, a device connected to the network (eg computer, but also a smartphone) to make this device addressable and thus reachable. This happens with you, if you use a usual Internet entrance (eg Telekom, Vodafone) and Internetbrowser (eg Internet Explorer, Google Chrome etc.), during the use of the Internet automatically, without you noticing this. The IP address thus allows, similar to a mailing address on an envelope, to identify a device on the Internet. Only in this way, for example, information requested by the user of a computer via the network can also be sent back to this computer.

It is technically unavoidable that the IP address assigned to your device during the access to our website or the establishment of the data connection for listening to our radio program (radio stream) will be processed on our server during the time of the existing connection. Without this processing, the construction of our website on your computer or the retrieval of the radio stream is not possible.

What are general “personal data”

Personal data include your name, date of birth, address or e-mail address, your telephone number as well as any bank details or credit card information that you may have become aware of; Under the new legal regulations, the IP address you use when you visit our website is now covered by the term “personal data”. However, personal information is also other information about yourself stored in association with your name, such as personal interests or preferences.

What does it mean if my personal data is “pseudonymised”?

If your personal data is “pseudonymised”, your personal data will be assigned a different name for identification (pseudonym). These are usually randomly generated number and / or letter combinations. Your personal data are then no longer traceable to your person, but only connected to the pseudonym.

The pseudonym and personal data associated with the pseudonym can be stored in a cookie on a specific computer, which means that the data associated with the pseudonym will be recognized on access to the cookie and allow identification of the computer (“Cookie ID “).

Which data do we collect from which sources?

We collect personal data in a variety of ways. This happens partly automatically, but also through your active communication of such data.

When listening to our radio program and visiting our website

While you hear our radio program via terrestrial reception facilities (eg satellite, DAB) or via cable, we do not collect any personal data.

As a rule, this data is automatically provided by the Internet browser you are using and buffered and processed on our server. Depending on the use of the data, these are processed by us or commissioned service providers pseudonymized.

When participating in sweepstakes

If you participate in a raffle organized by us or by a service provider commissioned by one of our service providers, either via our telephone hotline, a contact form, written correspondence or the use of electronic means of communication (e-mail, Facebook, short message services (eg WhatsApp, Twitter), Telephone platforms) the following personal data are collected:

When shopping in our online shop

If you make purchases in our online shop (Fanshop), we collect the following relevant personal data:

Name, address, date of birth, e-mail address, telephone number, bank details or credit card information and, if you have used the Internet for shopping, also your IP address, as well as the purchased object and other contractually relevant data (eg purchase price, delivery terms) ,

A given consent can be revoked at any time   . This also applies to the revocation of the declaration of consent given to us prior to the validity of the EU General Data Protection Regulation, ie before 25 May 2018. Please note that the revocation only works for the future. Processing that occurred before the revocation is not affected.

If you have given your consent in writing or in electronic form, your statement will be stored and archived with us. If you have given your consent by pressing an approval symbol on the screen (OK field in an input mask), this information will be stored by us with the time and the IP address you are currently using.

For the fulfillment of contractual obligations (Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR)

If we need your personal information to fulfill contractual obligations without which we can not fulfill the contract, your personal data may be processed without your consent. This will happen especially in our case:

– When you enter into a Sweepstakes, we process your personal information to enable you to enter the Sweepstakes, in particular to verify that you are eligible to enter the sweepstakes (eg age verification) and to contact you ( eg telephone game). Of course, we will need your personal information even if you have won to send your winnings.

If necessary, we or service providers commissioned by us process your personal data beyond the actual fulfillment of the contract in order to safeguard legitimate interests of us or third parties as follows:

In addition to the technically imperative need to save the IP address to allow communication between devices in the network at all, we use this protocol data without assignment to the person of the user or other profiling according to the statutory provisions only for statistical analysis (eg general visitor analysis), for the purpose of operating, security and optimizing our online offer. However, we reserve the right to retrospectively check the log data if, on the basis of concrete evidence, the legitimate suspicion of unlawful use exists.

By default, the log files are overwritten after a maximum of 14 months and deleted.

Is there a duty for me to provide personal information?

Basically, there is no obligation for you to give us your personal information or to provide it for us.

However, we require the personal data required for the conclusion of a contract, the performance of the contract and the fulfillment of the associated contractual obligations, or which we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will generally have to refuse to conclude the contract or to execute a contractual obligation or to be unable to carry out an existing contract and possibly terminate it.

We also need your personal information in order to meet our profit expectations.

When do we use automated decision making?

In principle, we do not use fully automated decision-making pursuant to Article 22 GDPR to justify and implement our contracts.

As a precautionary measure, we point out that the determination of winnings for the competitions organized by us or on our behalf does not constitute a decision-making process pursuant to Art. 22 GDPR. In the determination of winners, the winners or participating participants of a quiz show are determined only at random without taking into account personal data.

However, we partially process your personal data with the aim of evaluating certain personal aspects of your person (profiling). For example, we use profiling in the following cases:

– to inform you in a targeted manner about news from the hit scene, upcoming concerts or events,

– for needs-based communication and advertising, including market and opinion research.
