Google uses cookies. Specifically, these are the cookies "_ga" and "_ga_#".

An AVV is concluded with Google as well as the standard contractual clauses as a precaution.

Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating the use of our online offer by users, compiling reports on the activities within this online offer and providing other services relating to the use of this online offer and internet usage to us. In doing so, pseudonymous usage profiles of the users can be created from the processed data.

Purposes and legal basis

(1) We process personal data in accordance with the provisions of the Basic Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG):

a) To fulfill contractual obligations pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit b) DS-GVO. The processing of data is carried out for the provision of services within the scope of the contracts or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, which are carried out upon request. The purposes of data processing depend primarily on the respective use of our websites. For example, whether contact details are entered in the contact form.

b) Within the framework of the balance of interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f DS-GVO. The processing of personal data is carried out to protect the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, which require the protection of personal data, prevail, in particular if the data subject is a child. "Third party" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body, other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorized to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor. The legitimate interests of the controller or a third party are in particular:

• Ensuring a smooth connection of the website
• Ensuring a comfortable use of our website
• Evaluation of system security and stability
• Other administrative purposes
• Testing and optimizing procedures for demand analysis for the purpose of directly addressing customers,
• Advertising or market and opinion research, insofar as you have not objected to the use of your data,
• Assertion of legal claims and defense in legal disputes,
• Ensuring IT security and IT operations,
• Prevention and investigation of criminal offences,
• Measures to ensure building and facility security (e.g. access controls),
• Measures to ensure domiciliary rights,
• measures for business management and further development of services and products.

c) On the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit a) DS-GVO. Insofar as you have given us consent to process personal data for specific purposes (e.g. in the context of using the contact form), the legality of this processing is based on your consent. You can revoke the granted consent to the processing of personal data at any time vis-à-vis us. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent given to us before the applicability of the DS-GVO, i.e. before 25.05.2018. The revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the data processed until the revocation.

d) Due to legal requirements according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) DS-GVO or in the public interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e) DS-GVO. As a GmbH, we are subject to various legal obligations (e.g. tax laws).

Data sources and data categories

(1) We process personal data that we receive and may process within the scope of a contract.

(2) In addition, we process - to the extent necessary for the performance of a contract - personal data that we obtain from publicly accessible sources (e.g. debtor lists, land registers, commercial and association registers, the press, the Internet) or that are transmitted to us by other third parties (e.g. information from the population register) on a justified basis.

(3) Relevant personal data includes, for example, personal details (name, address and other contact details, date of birth, place of birth and nationality), identification data (e.g. ID card data) and authentication data (e.g. signature). In addition, this may also include order data (e.g. payment order), data from the fulfillment of our contractual obligations (e.g. invoice data), information about your financial situation (e.g. creditworthiness data, origin of assets), advertising and sales data, and documentation data (e.g. contact form), as well as other data comparable with the above categories.

Storage period

(1) We process and store your personal data as long as it is necessary for the fulfillment of our contractual and legal obligations. It should be noted that the duration of storage of personal data for our members always depends on the individual case. The regular storage period of personal data is 10 years, subject to the following notes.

(2) If the personal data are no longer required for the fulfillment of contractual or legal obligations, they are regularly deleted, unless their - temporary - further processing is necessary. In this context, further processing shall be considered in particular for the following reasons:

a) Fulfillment of retention obligations under commercial and tax law in accordance with the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Fiscal Code (AO); the periods specified therein for retention or documentation are two to ten years.

b) Preservation of evidence within the framework of the statutory limitation provisions. According to §§ 195 ff. BGB, these limitation periods can be up to 30 years, with the regular limitation period being 3 years.

Obligation to provide the data

(1) The provision of personal data is necessary for the justification for a conclusion of a contract and for the execution of an order.

(2) Failure to provide the data may result in the inability to establish a contract.

Automated decision-making and profiling

For the substantiation and execution of a contract, we generally do not use fully automated automatic decision-making pursuant to Art. 22 DS-GVO. If we use these procedures in individual cases, we will inform you about this separately, provided that this is required by law.

Automated processing of your personal data with the aim of evaluating certain personal aspects (profiling, Art. 4 No. 4 DS-GVO) does not take place at our company.

Recipients or categories of recipients

(1) Within our company, access to your data is granted to those offices that need it to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations. Service providers and vicarious agents, cooperation partners, etc. used by us may also receive data for this purpose if they comply with applicable confidentiality obligations. These are companies in the categories of IT services, logistics, printing services, telecommunications, debt collection, advice and consulting, and sales and marketing. However, we make it clear that our cooperation partners do not receive the personal data of the contact persons, but only the company data of the companies and operating companies - which is usually published on the Internet anyway and thus known.

(2) With regard to the transfer of data to recipients outside the Bundesverband Golfanlagen e.V. as well as BVGA Wirtschafts-GmbH, it should first be noted that our employees are obligated to maintain confidentiality about all contract-related facts and evaluations. We may only pass on information about you if this is required by law, you have given your consent or the information is necessary within the framework of the contractual relationship. Under these conditions, recipients of personal data may be, for example:

1. Other companies with whom we cooperate
2. Cooperation partners
3. Public bodies and institutions (e.g. authorities),
4. courts,
5. opponents and their legal representation in legal disputes and
6. other parties involved in the order/contractual relationship
7. other members of the Bundesverband Golfanlagen e.V. (Federal Association of Golf Courses).

(3) Further data recipients may be those bodies for which you have given us your consent to the transfer of data.

Special data protection rights

(1) Every data subject shall have the right to information pursuant to Article 15 of the GDPR, the right to rectification pursuant to Article 16 of the GDPR, the right to erasure pursuant to Article 17 of the GDPR, the right to restriction of processing pursuant to Article 18 of the GDPR and the right to data portability pursuant to Article 20 of the GDPR. Every data subject has the right to object according to Art. 21 DS-GVO.

(2) With regard to the right to information and the right to erasure, the restrictions pursuant to Sections 34 and 35 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) shall apply.

Right of appeal

In addition to the previous information, you have a right of appeal to a competent data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 DS-GVO in conjunction with § 19 BDSG).

Revocation of consent

(1) You may revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent given to us prior to the application of the DS-GVO, i.e. prior to 25.05.2018.

(2) Please note that the revocation is only effective for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected.

Amendment of data protection declarations and data protection information

Data protection law in particular is very much in flux. Due to this and in order to ensure that our data protection declaration always complies with the current legal requirements, we reserve the right to change this data protection declaration at any time. This also applies in the event that the data protection declaration has to be adapted due to new or revised services, for example new services. The new data protection statement will then apply the next time you visit our website.

1. individual right of objection

(1) Pursuant to Art. 21 DS-GVO, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. e) DS-GVO (data processing in the public interest) and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO (data processing based on a balance of interests); this also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 4 DS-GVO.

(2) If you object, your personal data will no longer be processed unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

2. right to object to processing of data for direct marketing purposes

(1) In individual cases, we process your personal data to conduct direct marketing. You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising.

(2) If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes.

The objection can be made form-free and should preferably be addressed to:
