1. Scope of the processing of personal data 

We only collect and use the personal data of users of our website insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website, our content and services.

In principle, the collection and use of our users' personal data only takes place with their consent. An exception to this principle applies in cases where the processing of data is permitted by law or where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data 

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is generally derived from:

Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR when obtaining the consent of the data subject.

Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR for processing operations necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party. This also includes processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR for processing necessary to fulfil a legal obligation.

Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d GDPR, if vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data.

Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest. In order to be able to base the processing of personal data on a legitimate interest, an assessment is carried out for each relevant process in consultation with the data protection officer, whereby the following three conditions must be met:

1) The controller responsible for processing the personal data or a third party has a legitimate interest in the data processing.

2) Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued.

3) Interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject that require the protection of personal data do not prevail.

3. Data erasure and storage duration 

The user's personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may be stored for longer if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

1. Description and scope of data processing 

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the user's computer system. The following information may be collected:

Information about the browser type and version used, the user's operating system, the user's internet service provider, the user's IP address, the date and time of access, websites from which the user's system accesses our website, websites that are accessed by the user's system via our website.

The data described is stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

2. Purpose and legal basis for data processing  

Temporary storage of the IP address by our system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. The user's IP address must remain stored for this purpose.

Data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. We also use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data is not analysed for marketing purposes in this context.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

The collection of your personal data for the provision of our website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. The user therefore has no option to object.

3. Duration of storage 

Your data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. If your data is collected to ensure the provision of the website, the data will be deleted after a reasonable period of time after the session.

Storage beyond this is possible, whereby the IP addresses of the users are deleted or anonymised in this case. It is therefore no longer possible to identify the calling client.

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user's computer system. When you access a website, a cookie may be stored on your operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again.

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the browser can be identified even after a page change.

TTDSG:

The legal basis for the storage of cookies, device identifiers and similar tracking technologies or for the storage of information in the end user's end device and access to this information is the European ePrivacy Directive in conjunction with the Act on the Regulation of Data Protection and the Protection of Privacy in Telecommunications and Telemedia (TTDSG).

Please note that the legal basis for the processing of the personal data collected in this context then results from the GDPR (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 GDPR). The relevant legal basis for the processing of personal data in each specific case can be found below on the respective cookie or on the respective processing itself.

The primary legal basis for the storage of information in the end user's terminal equipment - i.e. in particular for the storage of cookies - is your consent, Section 25 (1) sentence 1 TTDSG. Consent is given when you visit our website - although it does not have to be given - and can be revoked at any time in the cookie settings.

According to Section 25 (2) No. 2 TTDSG, consent is not required if the storage of information in the end user's terminal equipment or access to information already stored in the end user's terminal equipment is absolutely necessary so that the provider of a telemedia service can provide a telemedia service expressly requested by the user. In the cookie settings, you can see which cookies are classified as absolutely necessary (often also referred to as "technically necessary cookies") and therefore fall under the exemption rule of Section 25 (2) TTDSG and therefore do not require consent.

GDPR: 

The following data is stored and transmitted when cookies are used:

• Consent management

We would like to point out that individual functions of our website can only be offered with the use of cookies.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies results from Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of our website.

We do not use user data collected by technically necessary cookies to create user profiles.

Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted by it to our website. As a user, you therefore have control over the use of cookies. You can restrict or deactivate the transmission of cookies by making changes in the settings of your Internet browser. Stored cookies can also be deleted there. Please note that you may no longer be able to use all the functions of our website if you deactivate cookies.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analysis and advertising purposes is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given consent to this.

Cookie consent with Cookiebot 

Our website uses Cookiebot's cookie consent technology to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies in your browser and to document this in compliance with data protection regulations. The provider of this technology is Cybot A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark (hereinafter referred to as Cybot).

When you enter our website, a Cybot cookie is stored in your browser, in which the consents you have given or the revocation of these consents are stored. If consent is granted, the data in the Cybot cookie is also logged by Cybot:

The IP number of the end user in anonymised form (the last three digits are deleted).

set to '0'), Date and time of consent, User agent of the end user's browser, The URL from which the consent was sent, An anonymous, random and encrypted key, The consent status that serves as proof of consent.

The data collected will be stored until you ask us to delete it or delete the Cybot cookie yourself or until the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected. Details on data processing by Cookiebot can be found at https://www.cookiebot.com/de/privacy-policy/

Cookiebot cookie consent technology is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR.

According to the EU General Data Protection Regulation, you have the following rights as a data subject:

1. Right to information 

You have the right to receive information from us as the controller as to whether and which personal data concerning you are processed by us, as well as further information in accordance with the legal requirements under Art. 13, 14 GDPR.

You can assert your right to information under:

info@fanq.com

2. Right to rectification 

If the personal data processed by us and relating to you is incorrect or incomplete, you have the right to have it corrected and/or completed. The correction will be made immediately.

3. Right to restriction  

You have the right to restrict the processing of personal data concerning you in accordance with the statutory provisions (Art. 18 GDPR).

4. Right to cancellation  

If the reasons set out in Art. 17 GDPR apply, you can request that the personal data concerning you be deleted immediately.

We would like to point out that the right to erasure does not exist if the processing is necessary for one of the exceptional circumstances mentioned in Art. 17 (3).

5. Right to information 

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, we are obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You also have the right to be informed about these recipients.

6. Right to data portability 

Under the GDPR, you also have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to request that it be transmitted to another controller.

7. Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law 

You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. Please note that the withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

8. Right to object 

Furthermore, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR.

9. Automated decision-making in individual cases including profiling 

Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation, you also have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority 

Finally, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement.

The supervisory authority responsible for us is

State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information

North Rhine-Westphalia

P.O. Box 20 04 44

40102 Düsseldorf

Phone: 0211/38424-0

The GDPR guarantees the same high level of data protection within the European Union. When selecting our service providers, we therefore rely on European partners wherever possible if your personal data is to be processed. Only in exceptional cases will we have data processed outside the European Union when using third-party services. We only authorise the processing of your data in a third country if the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are fulfilled. This means that the processing of your data may then only take place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised determination of a level of data protection corresponding to the EU by the EU Commission or compliance with officially recognised special contractual obligations, the so-called "standard data protection clauses".

Minors under the age of 16 are expressly not addressees of our website and our offers on this website. We would like to point out that legal guardians must supervise the online activities of their children. Minors under the age of 16 should not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We explicitly do not request personal data from minors under the age of 16, do not knowingly collect it and do not pass it on to third parties.

1. General information 

You can subscribe to a free newsletter on our homepage, which will inform you about our new surveys. The data that you enter in the input mask during registration will be transmitted to us.

We collect the following data on the basis of the consent obtained from you during the registration process:

E-mail address

Furthermore, the following data is stored at the time of transmission:

IP address of the accessing computer, date and time of registration.

Your data will not be passed on in connection with the data processing for sending newsletters. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter.

2. Double opt-in and logging 

The registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. 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 e-mail 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.

3. Legal basis  

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given consent. The purpose of collecting the user's email address is to send the newsletter.

4. Cancellation, revocation and objection  

Your data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. Your e-mail address will therefore be stored for as long as your subscription to the newsletter is active. You can cancel your subscription to the newsletter at any time by revoking your consent. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for this purpose.

We would also like to point out that you can object to the future processing of your personal data at any time in accordance with the legal requirements pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR. In particular, you may object to processing for direct marketing purposes.

5. Shipping service provider Brevo 

The newsletter is sent via "Brevo", a newsletter dispatch platform of the provider Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin.

The email addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in this notice, are stored on Brevo's servers. Brevo uses this information to send and analyse the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore, according to its own information, Brevo may use this data to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimise the sending and presentation of the newsletter or for economic purposes in order to determine which countries the recipients come from. However, Brevo does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass it on to third parties.

We trust in the reliability and IT and data security of Brevo. Furthermore, we have concluded an order processing contract with Brevo. This is a contract in which Brevo undertakes to protect the data of our users, to process it on our behalf in accordance with its data protection provisions and, in particular, not to pass it on to third parties. You can view Brevo's data protection provisions here: https://www.brevo.com/de/legal/privacypolicy/.

6. Statistical survey  

We would like to point out that we evaluate your user behaviour when sending the newsletter. For this analysis, the emails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which are one-pixel image files stored on our website.

For the analyses, we link the data mentioned under point 1 and the web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID.

Links contained in the newsletter also contain this ID.

If you do not wish to be analysed by our newsletter, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a corresponding link for this purpose in every newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website. The information will be stored for as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter.

If you would like to contact us, a contact form is available on our homepage, which you can use to contact us electronically. The data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. These data are

Name, e-mail address, message

The following data is also stored at the time the message is sent:

The IP address of the user, date and time of the sending process

It is also possible to contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.

Your data will not be passed on to third parties in this context; the data will be used exclusively for processing the communication.

The legal basis for the processing of the contact enquiry and its handling is regularly Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

Should further personal data be processed during the sending process, this will only be used to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

Your data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input screen of the contact form and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.

To use our services on an end device with the "iOS" operating system, an app is required that can be downloaded free of charge from the iTunes Store or the App Store. iTunes Store and App Store are products of Apple Inc, Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA 95014, USA. For the use and downloading of apps via the iTunes Store and the App Store, the General Terms and Conditions of Apple Inc. must be accepted separately.

To use our services on an end device with the "Android" operating system, an app is required that can be downloaded free of charge from the Google Playstore. The Google Playstore is a product of Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The General Terms and Conditions of Google Inc. must be accepted separately for the use and downloading of apps via the Google Playstore.

If we become a contractual partner for the purchase of the app in accordance with the applicable terms of use of the third-party providers from whom you download the app (such as iTunes, Google, etc.), we process the data provided to us by the third-party provider to the extent necessary to fulfil the contract, e.g. your device ID, so that you can download the app to your mobile device.

On this website we show you job vacancies for which interested parties can apply by e-mail. Unsolicited applications can also be sent to us by e-mail. In the case of an incoming application, we process the data received from the applicant solely for the purpose of processing the application to potentially fill the vacant position.

The primary legal basis for this is Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 (1) BDSG.

Within our company, access to your personal data is only granted to those persons who are responsible for handling the application process and who are the decision-makers regarding the outcome of the application.

We delete your personal data as soon as it is no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes. If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant, the application documents will be deleted no later than six months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests of the controller. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

This website uses Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags via an interface. The tool itself (which implements the tags) does not use cookies and only records your IP address out of technical necessity. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn may set cookies and collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been carried out at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager.

If we have obtained your consent, the legal basis for the use of Google Tag Manager is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit a GDPR. Otherwise, the legal basis for the use of the technically necessary cookie results from our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

Further information can be found in the provider's terms of use at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html

We integrate the fonts ("Google Web Fonts") of the provider Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The aim is to optimise and operate our website economically. We host the fonts from our own servers so that no data is transmitted to Google.

The provider's privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.

This website uses the web analysis service Matomo to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. Matomo records your anonymised IP address, your pseudo-anonymised location (based on the anonymised IP address), date and time, title of the page accessed, URL of the page accessed, URL of the previous page (if this is permitted), screen resolution, external links, duration of the page layout, main language of the browser and the user agent of the browser.

In addition, Matomo creates so-called heat maps and session recordings, in which your interactions with forms (but not their content), files that have been clicked and downloaded, the movement of the mouse pointer, as well as click and scroll behaviour are recorded.

We can use the statistics obtained in this way to improve our website and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of Matomo is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

Cookies are stored on your computer for the analysis. The information collected in this way is stored by the controller exclusively on its server in Germany. You can prevent the use of Matomo by unchecking the following box to activate the opt-out plug-in:

Opt-out complete; your visits to this website will not be recorded by the Web Analytics tool. Note that if you clear your cookies, delete the opt-out cookie, or if you change computers or Web browsers, you will need to perform the opt-out procedure again.

You may choose to prevent this website from aggregating and analysing the actions you take here. Doing so will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and creating a better experience for you and other users.

The tracking opt-out feature requires cookies to be enabled.

We use Matomo with the "AnonymiseIP" extension. This means that IP addresses are further processed in abbreviated form, so that they cannot be directly linked to a specific person. The IP address transmitted by your browser using Matomo is not merged with other data collected by us.

Information from the third-party provider on data protection can be found at https://matomo.org/privacy-policy/.

We maintain fan pages within various social networks and platforms with the aim of communicating with the customers, interested parties and users active there and informing them about our services.

We would like to point out that your personal data may be processed outside the European Union, which may result in risks for you (e.g. when enforcing your rights under European / German law).

As a rule, user data is processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created from the user behaviour and the resulting interests of the users. These user profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place adverts inside and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are generally stored on the user's computer, in which the user's usage behaviour and interests are stored. Furthermore, data can also be stored in the user profiles independently of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).

The processing of users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in effective user information and communication with users in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f. GDPR. GDPR. If users are asked by the respective providers to consent to data processing (i.e. to give their consent, e.g. by ticking a checkbox or confirming a button), the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a. GDPR. GDPR.

Further information on the processing of your personal data and your options to object can be found under the links provided by the respective provider. Data subjects can also assert their rights to information and other rights against the providers, but only those who have direct access to the user's data and have the relevant information. We are of course available to answer any questions you may have and will support you if you need help.

A supplementary agreement is concluded with some social media platforms when operating a fan page. According to this agreement, data subject rights can generally be asserted both with the social media platform and with us. However, the primary responsibility under the GDPR for the processing of Insights data lies with the social media platform and it fulfils all obligations under the GDPR with regard to the processing of Insights data. In this context, the social media platform makes the essence of the Page Insights supplement available to the data subjects.

As the operator of the fan page, we do not make any decisions regarding the processing of Insights data and all other information resulting from Art. 13 GDPR, such as the legal basis, the identity of the controller and the storage duration of cookies on user devices.

We currently use the following social media platforms:

We (FanQ GmbH, Im Mediapark 5, 50670 Cologne, Germany, https://fanq.com/, info(at)fanq.com) are the provider of the FanQ voting widget. This is integrated by our partners on their websites.

Using the voting widget, we offer you the opportunity to take part in various surveys and votes on the subject of football.

To display the voting widgets, information is stored in the so-called LocalStorage of the browser used by the user. The information relates to the question ID and the answer selected by the user. In addition, a user ID is generated, which consists of a hash value of the user agent. The user agent contains information for the server that receives the request. This includes the browser used, its version and the user's operating system. The purpose of this processing is to ensure that questions that have already been answered are not displayed again in order to avoid multiple participation and falsification of the results.

In addition to the information mentioned above, graphics, fonts and css are loaded from your own domain via the Azure Cloud to enable the widgets to be displayed. The fonts in particular are hosted and loaded locally by FanQ. If it is technically necessary to establish a connection to third-party servers, these are listed here.

Log files are stored from which the IP address and the time of access can be seen. The purpose of this processing is the technical delivery of the widget to the user's end device and to ensure the security of the information technology systems. The data is not analysed in this context, in particular for marketing purposes. We ourselves do not have access to the data, but can only view the anonymised survey results.

Four weeks after the end date of the respective survey, FanQ will delete the user ID so that it can no longer be linked to a person.

The legal basis for the use of the voting widget is § 25 para. 2 no. 2 TTDSG, according to which the use of the widget is absolutely necessary to give you the opportunity to participate in the desired surveys.

The legal basis for the technically necessary data processing is the legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, which lies in ensuring that questions that have already been answered are not displayed again in order to avoid multiple participations and falsification of the results, as well as ensuring the security of the information technology systems.
