Privacy Policy

We are very pleased about your interest in our association. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of Tanz Event Club Bochum e.V. The use of the internet pages of Tanz Event Club Bochum e.V. is possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wants to use special services of our association via our website, the processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Tanz Event Club Bochum e.V. By means of this data protection declaration, our association would like to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of the rights to which they are entitled through this data protection declaration.

Tanz Event Club Bochum e.V. has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions may have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.

1. Definitions

The data protection declaration of Tanz Event Club Bochum e.V. is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.

We use the following terms in this data protection declaration:

•  a) Personal Data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (the "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

• b) Data Subject

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for processing.

• f) Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

• g) Controller or Controller Responsible for the Processing

Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

​

• j) Third Party

​

Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

​

3. Cookies

​

The internet pages of Tanz Event Club Bochum e.V. use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Many internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Tanz Event Club Bochum e.V. can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

With the help of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies enable us, as previously mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their login credentials every time they visit the website because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online store. The online store remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time through a corresponding setting in the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

​

4. Collection of General Data and Information

​

The website of Tanz Event Club Bochum e.V. collects a series of general data and information each time a data subject or an automated system accesses the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-pages accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the internet site, (6) an Internet Protocol (IP) address, (7) the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Tanz Event Club Bochum e.V. does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as the advertisements for it, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our IT systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, Tanz Event Club Bochum e.V. analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our association, and ultimately ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

​

5. Registration on our Website

​

The data subject has the option to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored solely for internal use by the controller, and for their own purposes. The controller may request the transfer to one or more processors (e.g., a parcel service provider) that also uses personal data for an internal purpose attributable to the controller.

By registering on the controller’s website, the IP address—assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP)—of the data subject, the date, and the time of registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offenses. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to pass it on or the transfer serves the aim of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary provision of personal data, is intended to enable the controller to offer the data subject content or services that may only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter. Registered persons are free to change the personal data specified during registration at any time or to have them completely deleted from the database of the controller.

The controller shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each data subject as to what personal data is stored about the data subject. In addition, the controller shall correct or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, provided that there are no statutory storage obligations. All employees of the controller are available to the data subject in this regard as contact persons.

​

6. Contact Possibility via the Website

​

The website of Tanz Event Club Bochum e.V. contains information that enables quick electronic contact to our association as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for the so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

​

7. Comment Function in the Blog on the Website

​

Tanz Event Club Bochum e.V. offers users the possibility to leave individual comments on individual blog contributions on a blog available on the website of the controller. A blog is a web-based, publicly accessible portal, through which one or more persons called bloggers or web bloggers may post articles or write down thoughts in blog posts. Blog posts may usually be commented on by third parties.

If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, the comments made by the data subject are also stored and published, along with information about the date of the comment and the username (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject. In addition, the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the data subject is logged. This storage of the IP address takes place for security reasons, and in case the data subject violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content through a given comment. The storage of this personal data is, therefore, in the own interest of the controller so that they can exonerate themselves in the event of an infringement. This personal data collected will not be passed on to third parties unless such transfer is required by law or serves the aim of the defense of the controller.

​

8. Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data

​

The controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

​

The board of Tanz Event Club Bochum e.V. will ensure the restriction of processing.

​

f) Right to Data Portability

Each data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning them, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

​​

10. Privacy Policy Regarding the Use and Application of Facebook

The controller has integrated components of the association Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is an Internet-based social meeting place, an online community, which generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences, or it allows the Internet community to provide personal or association-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos, and network via friend requests.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller responsible for processing is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the controller, is accessed and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) is integrated, the Internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins may be accessed under https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=en_US. During the course of this technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of what specific subpage of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook detects with each visit to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our website—which specific subpage of our website was visited. This information is collected through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, e.g., the "Like" button, or if the data subject submits a comment, then Facebook matches this information with the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.

Facebook always receives, via the Facebook component, information about a visit to our website by the data subject, whenever the data subject is logged in at Facebook during the time of the call to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data subject, then they may prevent this by logging out of their Facebook account before a call-up to our website is made.

The data protection guideline published by Facebook, which is available at https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. In addition, it explains what setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, different configuration options are provided to allow the elimination of data transmission to Facebook. These applications may be used by the data subject to eliminate a data transmission to Facebook.

​

11. Privacy Policy Regarding the Use and Application of Google AdSense

The controller has integrated Google AdSense on this website. Google AdSense is an online service that enables the placement of advertisements on third-party websites. Google AdSense is based on an algorithm that selects the advertisements displayed on third-party websites according to the content of the respective third-party site. Google AdSense allows for interest-based targeting of the Internet user, which is implemented through the generation of individual user profiles.

The operating company of the Google AdSense component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The purpose of the Google AdSense component is the integration of advertisements on our website. Google AdSense sets a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Alphabet Inc. is enabled to analyze the use of our website. During each access to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google AdSense component is integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google AdSense component to transmit data for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Alphabet Inc. In the course of this technical procedure, Alphabet Inc. gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Alphabet Inc., among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently to enable commission settlements.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Alphabet Inc. from setting a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. Additionally, cookies already in use by Alphabet Inc. may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.

Google AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in Internet pages to enable log file recording and log file analysis, which permits a statistical analysis to be performed. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, Alphabet Inc. is able to determine if and when a website was opened by a data subject, and which links were clicked by the data subject. Tracking pixels serve, among other things, to analyze the flow of visitors to a website.

Through Google AdSense, personal data and information, which also includes the IP address, is transmitted to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. This personal data is stored and processed in the United States of America. Alphabet Inc. may transfer the collected personal data through this technical procedure to third parties.

Google AdSense is further explained at the following link https://www.google.com/adsense/start/.

​

12. Privacy Policy for the Use of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)

The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis involves the collection, gathering, and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data about the website from which a person came to a website (the so-called referrer), which subpages were accessed, or how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The controller uses the "_gat._anonymizeIp" add-on for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this add-on, the IP address of the data subject's Internet connection is anonymized by Google if the access to our websites originates from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information collected to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. The definition of cookies is explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the data subject's information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to submit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. In the course of this technical procedure, Google becomes aware of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which is used by Google, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.

Through the cookie, personal information is stored, such as the access time, the location from which access was made, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by adjusting the web browser settings and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. Additionally, cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on at the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on instructs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the data subject's information technology system is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later time, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is deactivated or uninstalled by the data subject or another person who is within their control, the browser add-on can be reinstalled or reactivated.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be accessed at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is further explained under the following link: https://www.google.com/analytics/.

13. Data Protection Provisions for the Use of Google Remarketing

The responsible party has integrated Google Remarketing services on this website. Google Remarketing is a feature of Google AdWords that allows an organization to display advertisements to internet users who have previously visited the organization’s website. The integration of Google Remarketing enables an organization to create user-targeted ads and show interest-relevant advertisements to the internet user.

The operating company of Google Remarketing services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The purpose of Google Remarketing is to display interest-relevant advertisements. Google Remarketing allows us to display advertisements through the Google ad network or on other websites that are tailored to the individual needs and interests of internet users.

Google Remarketing places a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google can recognize the visitor of our website when they subsequently visit websites that are also part of the Google ad network. With each visit to a website on which Google Remarketing services are integrated, the data subject’s internet browser automatically identifies itself to Google. Through this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address or user behavior, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertisements.

Personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject, is stored via the cookie. Every visit to our website results in the transmission of personal data, including the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection, to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States. Google may transfer this personal data collected through technical processes to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as explained above, at any time through an appropriate setting of the internet browser used, and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment of the internet browser would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. Additionally, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to the interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must access the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

​14. Data Protection Provisions for the Use of Google AdWords

The responsible party has integrated Google AdWords services on this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads both in Google’s search engine results and across the Google advertising network. Google AdWords enables advertisers to predefine specific keywords, with which an ad in Google’s search engine results will only be displayed if the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed on thematically relevant websites using an automatic algorithm that takes the predefined keywords into account.

The operating company for Google AdWords services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on third-party websites and in the search engine results of Google, and to display third-party advertising on our website.

If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, Google places a so-called conversion cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie expires after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. The conversion cookie tracks whether certain subpages, such as the shopping cart of an online store, were accessed on our website. The conversion cookie allows both us and Google to understand whether a data subject who came to our website via an AdWords ad generated revenue, for example, by completing or abandoning a purchase.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. We use these visit statistics to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, in order to assess the success or failure of each AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our association nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify the data subject.

Personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject, is stored through the use of the conversion cookie. Each time our website is visited, personal data, including the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States. Google may transfer this personal data collected through technical processes to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already mentioned above, at any time by adjusting the settings of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the internet browser would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. Additionally, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must access the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers they use and configure the desired settings there.

15. Data Protection Provisions for the Use of Instagram

The responsible party has integrated components of Instagram on this website. Instagram is a service that qualifies as an audiovisual platform, enabling users to share photos and videos, and also to disseminate such data in other social networks.

The operating company of Instagram’s services is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the responsible party, is accessed, and on which an Instagram component (Insta button) has been integrated, the data subject’s internet browser is automatically prompted by the respective Instagram component to download a display of the corresponding Instagram component from Instagram. During this technical procedure, Instagram is informed about which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits.

If the data subject is logged into Instagram at the same time, Instagram detects with each visit to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our website—which specific subpage of our website was visited by the data subject. This information is collected by the Instagram component and associated with the data subject's Instagram account. If the data subject clicks one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transmitted are associated with the data subject’s personal Instagram user account and stored and processed by Instagram.

Instagram receives information via the Instagram component that the data subject has visited our website, provided that the data subject is logged into Instagram at the time of visiting our website. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks the Instagram component or not. If such transmission of information to Instagram is not desired by the data subject, it can be prevented by logging out of their Instagram account before visiting our website.
