Privacy Policy

This is a courtesy translation. Only the German version is legally binding.

We are delighted by your interest in our company. Data protection is of paramount importance to the management of Strike Riser Sport UG. Use of the Strike Riser Sport UG website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services offered by our company via our website, processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the data subject's consent.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Strike Riser Sport UG. This privacy policy aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy informs data subjects about their rights.

Strike Riser Sport UG, as the data controller, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete possible protection of personal data processed via this website. However, internet-based data transmissions can fundamentally have security vulnerabilities, meaning absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.

1. Definitions#

The privacy policy of Strike Riser Sport UG is based on the terms used by the European legislator when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easily readable and understandable for both the general public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used beforehand.

In this privacy policy, we use, among other things, the following terms:

a) Personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as "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 to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data subject

A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

c) Processing

Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

e) Profiling

Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.

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 is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or data controller

The controller 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. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

h) Data processors

A data processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law are not considered recipients.

j) Data protection provisions regarding third-party services

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

k) Consent

Consent means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

3. Cookies#

The websites of Strike Riser Sport UG use cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Numerous websites 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 that allows websites and servers to associate the cookie with the specific web browser in which it was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other web browsers that contain different cookies. A specific web browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Strike Riser Sport UG can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without setting cookies.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by adjusting the corresponding setting in their internet browser 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 common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in their internet browser, some functions of our website may not be fully usable.

4. Collection of general data and information#

The website of Strike Riser Sport UG collects a range of general data and information each time a data subject or an automated system accesses the website. This general data and information is stored in the server's log files. The following may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reached our website (known as the referrer), (4) the sub-pages accessed on our website by an accessing system, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serves to prevent attacks on our IT systems.

When using this general data and information, Strike Riser Sport UG 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 and its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack.

5. Registration on our website#

The data subject has the option to register on the controller's website by providing personal data. The specific personal data transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input form used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes.

By registering on the website of the data controller, the IP address assigned by the data subject's internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration, are also stored. This data is stored to prevent misuse of our services and to enable the investigation of criminal offenses if necessary.

6. Subscribe to our newsletter#

The website of Strike Riser Sport UG offers users the option to subscribe to our company's newsletter. The specific personal data transmitted to the data controller when subscribing to the newsletter is determined by the input form used.

Strike Riser Sport UG regularly informs its customers and business partners about company offers via a newsletter. A person can only receive our newsletter if (1) they have a valid email address and (2) they have registered to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent to the email address provided by a person registering for the newsletter for the first time, using a double opt-in procedure.

Subscribers can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. Consent to the storage of personal data provided for newsletter distribution can be withdrawn at any time. A corresponding link for withdrawing consent is included in every newsletter.

7. Newsletter tracking#

The newsletters of Strike Riser Sport UG contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in HTML emails to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows for statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns.

Personal data collected via tracking pixels in the newsletters is stored and analyzed by the data controller to optimize newsletter distribution and better tailor the content of future newsletters to the interests of the recipient.

8. Contact options via the website#

Due to legal requirements, the website of Strike Riser Sport UG contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, including a general email address. If a data subject contacts the data controller via email or a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the data controller will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.

9. Subscription to comments on the blog on the website#

Comments posted on the Strike Riser Sport UG blog can generally be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, a commenter can subscribe to subsequent comments on a specific blog post.

If a data subject chooses to subscribe to comments, the data controller will send an automatic confirmation email to verify, using a double opt-in procedure, that the owner of the specified email address has indeed opted for this service. The option to subscribe to comments can be cancelled at any time.

10. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data#

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

If the purpose for which the data was stored ceases to exist, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

11. Rights of the data subject#

a) Right to confirmation

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, he or she may, at any time, contact an employee of the controller.

b) Right to information

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller, free of charge, information about the personal data stored concerning him or her and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to information about the processing purposes, categories of personal data, recipients, storage duration, and the existence of rights to rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and complaint.

c) Right to rectification

Every data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right, granted by the European legislator, to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data.

d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to request from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay where one of the legal grounds applies and where the processing is not necessary.

e) Right to restriction of processing

Every data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right, granted by the European legislator, to request from the controller the restriction of processing where one of the legal conditions applies.

f) Right to data portability

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she also has the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance.

g) Right to object

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on those provisions.

h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performing, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law, or (3) is based on the data subject's explicit consent.

i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

Every person whose personal data is being processed has the right, granted by the European legislator, to withdraw their consent to the processing of their personal data at any time.

If a data subject wishes to exercise any of these rights, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time.

12. Data protection in applications and the application process#

The data controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case when an applicant submits application documents electronically, for example, by email or via a web form on the website.

If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If the data controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, unless other legitimate interests of the data controller preclude deletion.

13-21. Data protection provisions regarding third-party services#

Our website may integrate components from various third-party services including Facebook, Google Analytics, Google AdWords, Google AdSense, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, PayPal, and Sofortüberweisung. Each of these services has its own data protection provisions and privacy policies.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these services:

Data subjects can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by adjusting the settings of their internet browser accordingly, and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies.

22. Legal basis of processing#

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as a legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR.

Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data.

23. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party#

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

24. Duration for which the personal data will be stored#

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

25. Legal or contractual requirements for providing personal data; necessity for entering into a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of not providing the data#

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is sometimes required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also arise from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contracting party). In some cases, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data that we subsequently need to process in order to conclude a contract. For example, the data subject is obligated to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.

Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will explain to the data subject, on a case-by-case basis, whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, or necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.

26. Existence of automated decision-making#

As a responsible company, we refrain from automated decision-making or profiling.

Developed by the legal tech specialists at Willing & Able, who also developed the system for GDPR impact assessments. The texts of the privacy policy generator were written and published by Prof. Dr. hc Heiko Jonny Maniero and attorney Christian Solmecke.

27. Appointment booking via Calendly#

To book a free initial consultation we use Calendly, a service provided by Calendly LLC (271 17th St NW, Atlanta, Georgia 30363, USA).
