The same also applies to an omission within these terms of participation.

Notes on Data Protection

 

  1. Data processing: Insofar as personal data is provided by participants and collected as part of the prize draw, it shall be collected and processed by the organiser exclusively for the purpose of executing the prize draw (including notifying participants and dispatching the prize). The data will also only be passed on to third parties, partners or service providers of the organiser in order to carry out the prize draw.
  2. Beyond this, the personal data is generally not processed or used unless the participant has consented to its further processing or storage, a corresponding legal obligation of the organiser exists or it is in the legitimate interest of the organiser, in particular with regards to defending himself against legal claims.

The legal basis for data processing is article 6, para. 1, sent. 1b, 1c and 1f and – if the participant gives his consent – 1a of the GDPR.

  1. Storage: As soon as the competition has ended and the participant has not won, all data collected will be completely deleted after 6 months, unless a longer storage period is required for contractual or legal reasons.

The winner’s data will be stored for 10 years in accordance with art. 6, para. 1, sent 1c of the GDPR due to tax and commercial law storage and documentation obligations (pursuant to German Commercial Code, German Penal Code or Tax Code) in accordance with §147, para. 1 of the Tax Code (AO) for booking documents and stored for 6 years for business documents in accordance with §257, para. 1 of the German Commercial Code (HGB).

  1. Special note regarding Instagram/Facebook: The organiser is conducting the prize draw via the social networks Instagram and/or Facebook and in this context uses the related services of Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Meta”).

In addition, Meta can show the participants further information or advertisements on Instagram or Facebook according to their respective preferences. In this case, the organiser, together with Meta, is responsible for the data processing operations in the sense of art. 26 of the GDPR.

Meta provides further information on this subject on Facebook under the following link: http://de-de.facebook.com/help/pages/insights.

The organiser has therefore concluded a joint responsibility agreement with Meta, also for the execution of the prize draw, in accordance with art. 26 (1) of the GDPR, the so-called Page Insights Controller Addendum.
