IV. Specifics about your data

We collect and use the personal data that is required in the individual business areas of our company. This is essentially the master data:

  1. Title, first name, surname
  2. date of birth
  3. postal address
  4. e-mail address
  5. Telephone number
  6. Payment and invoice data

Billing data is collected when registering for fee-based measures. It relates only to the information relevant to invoicing. Other data is only collected in accordance with special provisions in individual departments and is only accessible there. You will be specifically informed about this on the relevant page. In principle, your data will not be passed on without your express consent. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required, usually when you terminate the business relationship.

V. Legal basis

We process your personal data to fulfill the contract and for direct advertising, to ensure the security and smooth running of our events.

1. contract

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data by the controller is usually Article 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract). According to this, your personal data may be processed if and insofar as this is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations towards you. This also applies to all processing that is necessary in order to carry out pre-contractual measures that are carried out at your request. Further details are regulated in the respective specialist areas (e.g. when purchasing tickets, registering for an event, etc.).

2. legitimate interest

We take all measures within our means to ensure the safety and smooth running of all BVB events. Among other things, we must also comply with the guidelines for the uniform handling of stadium bans of the German Football Association ("DFB") or, in the case of an international match, of "UEFA" and ensure security and order in the stadium by enforcing civil law bans. In this and similar cases, we have a legitimate interest in processing all necessary information and are therefore entitled to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 subpara. 1 lit. f) GDPR, unless your interests in the confidentiality of the data prevail and you object to the data processing by stating your personal conflicting interests. In principle, however, security aspects take precedence. Where applicable, this is explained in detail in the individual departments. If your data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR), you can object to this in the case of direct advertising without giving reasons, otherwise by explaining your conflicting interest in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR. In the case of direct advertising, this is in our legitimate interest and is therefore lawful pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 subpara. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

3. Data transmission

In principle, your data will not be transmitted. In special cases (e.g. to enforce a nationwide stadium ban), however, this is necessary and contractually regulated in our GTC. However, we transfer data to our service providers (e.g. software companies) on the basis of order processing contracts in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

4. Consent

If data processing in individual areas is based on your consent (Article 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR), you can revoke this at any time with effect for the future.

VI. Storage duration

We delete your personal data as soon as we no longer need them to fulfill our contractual and/or legal obligations. Invoice data, for example, may only be deleted after 10 years.

VII. Your Rights

As a data subject, you generally have

  1. the right to information about your processed data in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR
  2. the right to rectification of your data in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR if we process incorrect information about you
  3. the right to erasure of your data in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR, provided that we no longer need the data and there are no legal retention purposes to the contrary
  4. the right to restrict the processing of your data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR, if and as long as your objections to the data processing (Art. 6 para. 1 subpara. 1 lit. f) GDPR) have not yet been clarified, and
  5. the right to object to the processing of your data in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR if we process your data in our overriding interest. This is particularly the case if, in your case, our and public interests override your overriding personal interests in data processing.
  6. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), i.e. the State Commissioner for Freedom of Information and Data Protection (LDI) (https://www.ldi.nrw.de/).

We always comply with all these rights. We will be happy to provide you with further information if you require it. To do so, please contact our data protection officer named abAll diesen Rechten kommen wir stets nach. Sofern Sie dazu nähere Auskünfte wünschen, stellen wir Ihnen diese gern bereit.
