Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business operations, we collaborate with various external entities. In some cases, it is necessary to transmit personal data to these external parties. We only share personal data with external entities when it is required for contract fulfillment, when we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., sharing data with tax authorities), when we have a legitimate interest in the transfer according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, or when another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only share our customers' personal data based on a valid processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement will be established.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and Against Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. YOU CAN FIND THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, affected individuals have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, their workplace, or the location of the alleged violation. The right to complain is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to request that data we process automatically based on your consent or in the performance of a contract be provided to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Right to access, rectification, and deletion

You have the right, under applicable legal provisions, to request free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as a right to rectification or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and any other questions about personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time regarding this. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. During the review period, you have the right to request a restriction on the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was unlawful, you can request a restriction on data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request a restriction on the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of interests between yours and ours must be conducted. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request a restriction on the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – apart from their storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of significant public interest of the European Union or a member state.

SSL and TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL and TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

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

Encrypted Payment Transactions on This Website

After the conclusion of a paid contract, if you are required to provide us with your payment information (e.g., account number for direct debit authorization), this information is needed for payment processing.

Transactions using common payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are conducted exclusively over an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser's address bar from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser's address bar.

With encrypted communication, your payment data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Cookies

Our websites use so-called "cookies." Cookies are small data packets that do not harm your device. They are either temporarily stored for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Permanent cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself or until an automatic deletion occurs through your web browser.

Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third parties (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third parties within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or video display). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for the execution of electronic communication processes, for providing certain functions you desire (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) are stored based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically flawless and optimized provision of their services. If consent for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing occurs solely based on this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to be informed about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

• IP address

There is no merging of this data with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically flawless presentation and optimization of their website – for this purpose, server log files must be collected.

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided, will be stored for the purpose of processing the request and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries directed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) if it was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular, retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiries via Email or Phone

If you contact us via email or phone, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed for the purpose of addressing your concern. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries directed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) if it was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Our Social Media Presence

This privacy policy applies to the following social media profiles:

• www.facebook.com/profile.php
• https://twitter.com/asp_sportpsycho
• www.instagram.com/asp_sportpsycho/
• https://de.linkedin.com/in/asp-arbeitsgemeinschaft-f%C3%BCr-sportpsychologie-e-v-178193228

Data Processing by Social Networks

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The specific social networks we use are listed below.

Social networks like Facebook, X, etc., can generally analyze your user behavior comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media profiles triggers numerous data processing operations relevant to data protection. Specifically:

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media platform may associate this visit with your user account. Your personal data may also be collected even if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media platform. In this case, data collection may occur through cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.

Using the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media platforms can create user profiles that include your preferences and interests. This allows them to display targeted advertising both within and outside of the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, targeted advertising may be shown on all devices where you are logged in or have been logged in.

Please also note that we cannot trace all processing operations on the social media platforms. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may be carried out by the operators of the social media platforms. For details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media platforms.

Legal Basis

Our social media appearances aim to ensure a comprehensive presence on the internet. This constitutes a legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal grounds, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g., consent under Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR).

Responsible Party and Assertion of Rights

When you visit one of our social media appearances (e.g., Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered by this visit. You can assert your rights (access, rectification, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, and complaint) against both us and the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g., against Facebook).

Please note that despite our shared responsibility with the social media platform operators, we do not have full control over the data processing activities of these social media platforms. Our capabilities are largely determined by the corporate policies of the respective provider.

Retention Period

The data we collect directly through our social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies will remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – particularly retention periods – remain unaffected.

We have no influence over the retention period of your data that is stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. For details, please refer directly to the operators of the social networks (e.g., in their privacy policy, see below).

Your Rights

You have the right to obtain free information about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data at any time. You also have the right to object, the right to data portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. Furthermore, you can request the correction, blocking, deletion, and, under certain circumstances, the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

We use the mapping service from OpenStreetMap (OSM).

We integrate the map material from OpenStreetMap on the server of the OpenStreetMap Foundation, St John’s Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WS, United Kingdom. The UK is considered a third country with adequate data protection. This means that the UK has a level of data protection that is equivalent to that in the European Union. When using the OpenStreetMap maps, a connection to the servers of the OpenStreetMap Foundation is established. This may involve your IP address and other information about your behavior on this website being forwarded to the OSMF. OpenStreetMap may store cookies in your browser or use similar recognition technologies for this purpose.

The use of OpenStreetMap is intended to provide an appealing presentation of our online offerings and to facilitate the easy location of the places we list on our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing will occur solely based on Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TDDG, provided that the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) as defined by the TDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
