Relevant here is all infor-mation that in any way allows a conclusion to be drawn about a person.

2.2 Processing
Article 4 No. 2 of the GDPR defines "processing" as any operation related to personal data. This relates in particu-lar to the collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consulta-tion, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction;

Whenever someone visits our website, we process the personal data of you listed in detail below in section IV. We only process data from you that you actively provide on the website (e.g. by filling out forms) or that you auto-matically provide when using our offer.
Your data will be processed exclusively by us and will not be sold, lent or passed on to third parties. If we use the help of external service providers to process your personal data, that will be done in the context of a cooperation with a so-called data processor, where we act as principal and are authorized to give instructions to our contrac-tors. To operate our website, we use external service providers for hosting, as well as for maintenance, care and further development. We host our website with the external provider WOA Festival GmbH (address: Schenefeld-er Str. 17, 25996) at the data centre location Hetzner, Falkenstein, Germany. If further external service provid-ers are used for individual processing operations listed in section IV, they will be named there.
As a matter of principle, we do not transfer data to third countries and do not plan to do so. We will provide in-formation about exceptions to this principle in the processing operations described below. Any data transfer to third countries will then take place on the basis of the so-called EU standard contractual clauses.

For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.  Your IP address is also recorded in the log files for security reasons to defend against attacks on our website (in particular so-called DDos attacks) and for fraud prevention.

6.2 Purpose
The processing is carried out to enable the website to be called up and to ensure its stability and security. Fur-thermore, the processing serves the statistical evaluation and improvement of our online offer.

6.3 Legal basis

Our website uses so-called Content Delivery Networks (CDN). CDNs have the effect of shortening the loading time of common JavaScript and CSS libraries, as well as image icons, because the files are transferred from fast, near-site or under-utilised servers of external service providers. Another advantage compared to storing the JavaS-cript and CSS libraries and image icons locally on our server is that the files are regularly checked for security and kept up-to-date by the external service providers. We have integrated JavaScript and CSS libraries from the ex-ternal service provider for the implementation of some programming functions on our website. When you visit our website, a connection is established to the servers of the aforementioned external services and the JavaScript and CSS library, as well as image icons, are loaded into our website. This transmits to the external service provid-ers which website you have visited. Your IP address may also be transmitted. To prevent the execution of JavaS-cript altogether, you can install a JavaScript blocker in your browser.

18.2 Purpose
The processing takes place in order to shorten the loading time of our website and to be able to integrate JavaS-cript and CSS libraries, as well as image icons quickly and securely.

18.3 Legal basis
The processing is necessary to protect the overriding legitimate interests of the controller (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Our legitimate interest lies in the data protection described in para. 19.2 named purpose.

19. Security measures
To protect your personal data from unauthorised access, we have provided our website with an SSL or TLS certif-icate. SSL stands for "Secure Sockets Layer" and TLS for "Transport Layer Security" and encrypts the communica-tion of data between a website and the user's end device.

VI. Your rights

20. Data subjects' rights
With regard to the data processing by our company described above, you are entitled to the following data sub-ject rights:

20.1 Right of Access (Art. 15 GDPR)
You have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether we are processing personal data relating to you. If this is the case, you have a right to information about this personal data and to the information listed in detail in Art. 15 GDPR under the conditions specified in Art. 15 GDPR.

20.2 Rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
You have the right to demand that we correct any inaccurate personal data concerning you and, if necessary, complete any incomplete personal data without delay.

20.3 Erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
You have the right to demand that we delete personal data relating to you without delay if one of the reasons listed in detail in Art. 17 GDPR applies, e.g. if your data is no longer required for the purposes we are pursuing.

20.4 Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
You have the right to demand that we restrict processing if one of the conditions listed in Art. 18 GDPR applies, e.g. if you dispute the accuracy of your personal data, data processing will be restricted for the period of time that allows us to verify the accuracy of your data.

20.5 Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
You have the right, under the conditions listed in Art. 20 GDPR, to request that the data concerning you be handed over in a structured, common and machine-readable format.

20.6 Withdrawal of consent (Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR)
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time in the case of processing based on consent. The revoca-tion applies from the time it is asserted. In other words, it is effective for the future. The processing therefore does not become unlawful retroactively as a result of the withdrawal of consent.

20.7 Complaints (Art. 77 GDPR)
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. You can assert this right with a supervisory authority in the EU member state of your place of residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.

20.8 Restraint on automated decision-making/profiling (Art. 22 GDPR)
Decisions which have legal effects concerning you or which significantly affect you must not be based solely on automated processing of personal data, including profiling. We inform you that we do not use automated deci-sion-making including profiling with regard to your personal data.

20.9 Objection (Art. 21 GDPR)
If we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (for the protection of overriding legiti-mate interests), you have the right to object to this under the conditions listed in Art. 21 GDPR. However, this only applies insofar as there are reasons arising from your particular situation. After an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that over-ride your interests, rights and freedoms. We also do not have to stop processing if it serves the assertion, exer-cise or defence of legal claims. In any case - also irrespective of a specific situation - you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing at any time.
