Ticket Shop – Entrancetickets can be purchased without providing any personal data whatsoever at our head office or at ticket sales offices authorised by us. ALRV is the provider of the ticket shop. Personal data is collected and processed if and to the extent necessary for the establishment, execution or termination of the respective legal transaction (purchase). For this purpose, the necessary personal data (title, first and last name, email address, postal address, payment data, product-specific data, order history) required to fulfil the respective order is collected and processed. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) DSGVO. The data provided by the customer will also be collected, processed and used for the purpose of legal prosecution ("Ticket Enforcement") of violations of the GTC for the purchase of entrance tickets and the stay on the show ground in an automated procedure. The web-based online platform for the sale of entrance tickets is provided by SAP Deutschland SE & Co. KG. Their data privacy policy can be viewed here: https://www.sap.com/germany/about/legal/privacy.html.

An automatic plausibility check and address authentification takes place during the entry of your address in an effort to avoid mistakes and to simplify the ordering process.  This service is provided by UNISERV GmbH based in 75179 Pforzheim, Germany, Rastatter Str. 13. (Their data privacy policy can be viewed here: https://www.uniserv.com/datenschutz).

Personal data (acc. to Art. 6 (1) a,b,c GDPR) is only collected, if you voluntarily provide us with such, for example for the purpose of processing your orders, when registering for personalised services or for obtaining information und newsletters by mail, fax, email or other channels. Such personal data will be stored until revoked or for as long as is required by law. The processing of your stored personal data takes place in states of the European Economic Area (EEA) or otherwise in countries providing data protection which is not comparable to the data protection within the EEA. Such a transmission is then governed by the standard contractual clauses according to the resolution of the EU-Commission 2021/914/EU or its successor, in order to warrant the protection of your personal data equivalent to the EEA level of protection by contractual means. An edited version of these standard contractual clauses (without commercial content and information, which is not relevant) can be requested from datenschutz@chioaachen.de. If we pass on personal data, we do so exclusively to service providers and partner companies that support us with processing orders and supplying customers with information. These companies are only allowed to use your personal data for the fulfilment of the tasks assigned by us and they are obliged to observe the data protection regulations applicable in the Federal Republic of Germany. From time to time we may be forced to disclose your data due to legal regulations or legal procedures. Otherwise personal data is not passed on to third parties.

For handling your entrance ticket order with certain forms of payment (e.g. MasterCard, Visa Card, ec-Card) we use the services of the following providers: BS Payone GmbH, which is located in 60528 Frankfurt/Main, Lyoner Straße 9, Germany (their data privacy policy can be viewed here:  https://www.bspayone.com/de/privacy) and Computop Wirtschaftsinformatik GmbH, which is located in 96050 Bamberg, Schwarzenbergstr. 4, Germany (https://www.computop.com/de/datenschutz/), the SOFORT GmbH, located in 80339 München, Germany, Theresienhöhe 12, which is part of the Klarna Group, Klarna Bank AB (publ), Sveavägen 46, 11134 Stockholm, Sweden (https://www.klarna.com/sofort/datenschutz) and American Express Services Europe Limited, located in 60486 Frankfurt am Main, Germany, Theodor-Heuss-Allee 112 (https://www.americanexpress.com/de/legal/online-datenschutzerklarung.html).

Ticket shop and contact tracing - To the extent that the ALRV is obliged to do so by law or on the basis of protective or hygiene measures prescribed by the authorities or associations, the ALRV will inform the competent authority in the event of suspected infection or proven infection of the Cardholder or a contact person of the Cardholder with a virus associated with a force majeure event in order to comply with its obligations in this regard with regard to tracing and containing possible sources of infection. The collection and subsequent transfer of data is based on Art. 6 (1) (c) DSGVO, Art. 9 (2) (i) DSGVO. If personal data are requested by the competent authority, the latter is responsible for the further processing of the data.

The data transmitted to the ALRV in connection with the purchase, (re)personalisation and activation of tickets (see above Ticket Shop) will be kept by the ALRV and, if necessary, transmitted to the competent authority in accordance with the aforementioned paragraph.

All aforementioned personal data will be deleted when it is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected. As a rule, this personal data will be deleted no later than four (4) weeks after the end of the event, unless the ALRV is obliged to store it for a longer period of time due to legal regulations or due to protective or hygiene measures stipulated by the authorities or associations.

Websites/Internet presence - If personal data, except for the ticket shop, (i.e. names, addresses, or email addresses) is collected on our site, this only occurs where possible on a voluntary basis. This data will only be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent in the following cases: (i) if an explicit consent has been granted in accordance with Art. 6 (1) S. 1 (a) DSGVO, (ii) if the transfer in accordance with Art. 6 (1) S. 1 (f) DSGVO is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims (e.g. ticket enforcement) and there is no reason for the assumption that there is an overriding legitimate interest in the nontransfer of the respective data, (iii) if the transfer in accordance with Art. 6 (1) S. 1 (c) DSGVO, (iv) if this is legally admissible and required pursuant to Art. 6 (1) S. 1 (b) DSGVO for the execution of contractual obligations with the customer, or (v) if the transfer is conducted to a carefully selected service provider (Art. 28 (1) DSGVO) with whom a contract for order processing (Art. 28 (3) DSGVO) has been concluded (e.g. for the shipping of entrance tickets). We would like to point out that data transmission via the Internet (i.e. when communicating per email) is subject to security breaches. It is not possible to guarantee complete protection against the data being accessed by third parties.

CHIO Aachen CAMPUS - Hereinafter, we provide information about the processing of personal data in relation to the CHIO Aachen CAMPUS ("CAMPUS"), in particular, with regard to visiting the CHIO Aachen CAMPUS Online Shop ("CAMPUS-Shop"):

When creating a Customer Account in the CAMPUS-Shop, the following personal data will be collected about you: First and last name, e-mail address and password, address, telephone number, date of birth, data for payment processing, photos.

The aforementioned data will be processed by the ALRV exclusively for the purpose of and within the scope of processing the CAMPUS-Offers purchased, ordered or booked by you via the CAMPUS-Shop. The legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. Furthermore, we request data on your horse, on starting and results lists as well as statistics and your association membership, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. We delete this data as soon as the statutory limitation period with regard to our contractual relationship with you has expired (usually three (3) years from the end of the year in which the last contractual claim arose), unless for legal reasons (e.g., retention periods under tax law) or legitimate interests in identifying individual customers for a longer period. Processing your personal data takes place in countries of the European Economic Area or in countries with a level of data protection that is comparable to the level of data protection within the EEA. Such transfer of data shall then be subject to the standard contractual clauses as set out in EU Commission Decision 2010/87/EU or any successor version, in order to contractually ensure protection of your personal data by a level of protection applicable within the EEA. You can request an edited version of these standard contractual clauses (excluding commercial content and non-relevant information) at datenschutz@chioaachen.de. When we share personal data, we only do so with service and partner companies that help us process orders and provide information to Customers. These companies may only use your personal data to fulfil their obligations on our behalf and are obliged to comply with the data protection regulations applicable in the Federal Republic of Germany. Sometimes we may be forced to disclose your data due to legal regulations or legal processes. However, in all other cases personal data is not passed on to third parties. In particular, data will not be transferred to a third country or to an international organisation, unless this is necessary in the context of the payment service provider you have chosen. In this case, the data transfer to a third country (e.g., USA) takes place on the basis of standard contractual clauses (Art. 46 para. 2 lit. d) DSGVO) and additional technical security measures. When processing your orders or bookings with the payment service provider Stripe, Inc., we use the services of third parties to whom we provide the payment information of the orders and who carry out the billing for us. Our service provider for this is Stripe, Inc., 510 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA (you can view their data privacy policy here: https://stripe.com/de/privacy#translation).

For the use and operation of the CAMPUS-Shop, the ALRV also uses a licence from a service provider (Black Horse One GmbH - Martin-Luther-Ring 3 - 85598 Baldham), which means that the above-mentioned data is, therefore, passed on to that service provider. The service provider also processes this data exclusively for the purpose of processing the transactions made via the CAMPUS-Shop and is also obliged to process and secure data properly by means of a data processing agreement within the meaning of Art. 28 DSGVO. The service provider's servers are located exclusively in Germany and its data privacy policy can be found here: https://blackhorse-one.com/privacy.

Prize Competitions - Insofar as the ALRV organises prize competitions, we optionally collect the following data from you in addition to the data essential for the organisation of the respective prize competition: name, first name, e-mail address, postal address, date of birth, profession, interests/hobbies, media consumption, consumer behaviour/habits, preferred brands. The purpose of the collection and processing of such data is the organisation of prize competitions. Participation in the prize competition requires either sending the fully completed form or via the respective channels on social media platforms. The personal data collected from the participants will be exclusively used for the purpose of organising and carrying out the prize competition, including the prize competition itself, notifying the winner by e-mail and mailing and shipping the prize. The winner may be published with his or her full name. In order to deliver the prize, your personal data may, if necessary, be passed on to the respective cooperation partner. No later than six (6) months after the end of the prize competition, all data collected will be deleted in full, unless a longer storage period is required for contractual or legal reasons. The winners' data will be stored in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c DSGVO due to tax and commercial law storage and documentation obligations (pursuant to the German Commercial Code (HGB), German Criminal Code (StGB) or German Fiscal Code (AO)) with regards to accounting documents for 10 years pursuant to sec. 147 para. 1 German Fiscal Code (AO) and with regards to business documents for 6 years pursuant to sec. 257 para. 1 German Commercial Code (HGB). The ALRV may use the data received as part of the prize competition for so-called "direct marketing". Beyond this, personal data will not be processed or used and, in particular, will not be passed on to third parties without authorisation. Data will only be passed on for advertising purposes with the explicit and express consent of the participants. Participants may at any time request information about the data stored about them and/or object to the storage and/or use of their data with effect for the future and request the deletion or blocking of their personal data here. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b and f and a - in the case of consent - DSGVO. To the extent additional data is collected from you with respect to a prize competition, this is done exclusively for the purpose of organising and carrying out the respective prize competition. In each case the legal basis for the respective processing of data is Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO.

These cookies enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit our site. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the placement of cookies, can enable cookies only in each individual case, accept cookies in certain cases or generally block them as well as activate the automatic deletion of cookies on closing the browser. Deactivating cookies can limit the functionality of the website. In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your end device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g. cookies for range measurement or integration of third-party content).

Other cookies are used to evaluate user behaviour or display advertising (performance cookies). Technically necessary cookies are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services.

Consent (Art. 6 (1) S. 1 (a) DSGVO) is obtained for cookies that are not technically necessary. If consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the storage of the cookies in question is based exclusively on this consent. The consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

We use the "Borlabs cookie" as a so-called consent tool to request consent for data processing or the use of cookies or comparable functions. With the help of the consent tool, you have the possibility to give or refuse your consent for certain functionalities of our website, e.g. for the purpose of integrating external elements, integrating streaming content, statistical analysis, range measurement and personalised advertising. You can use the consent tool to give or refuse your consent for all functions or to give your consent for individual purposes or individual functions. The settings you have made can also be changed by you afterwards or the consents can be completely revoked.

In the course of using the Consent Tool, we regularly process the following personal data: Your consent(s) or revocation of your consent(s), your IP address, information about your browser, information about your terminal device, time of your visit to the website.

During your visit to the website, your user behaviour is recorded in the form of "events". Events collected may include: page views, first visit to the website, start of session, your "click path", interaction with the website, scrolls (whenever a user scrolls to the bottom of the page (90%)), clicks on external links, internal searches, interaction with videos, file downloads, ads seen / clicked, language preference.

The parent company of Google Ireland, Google LLC, is based in California, USA. A transfer of data to the USA and access by US authorities to the data stored by Google cannot be ruled out.
