Personal data that is not subject to retention obligations under tax or commercial law will be deleted immediately after the purpose ceases to apply - unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data.
c) If you contact us personally
If you contact us of your own accord, the personal data you voluntarily provide (e.g. name, e-mail address) will be collected and transmitted to us. This is the case, for example, when you use a contact form on our website or send us an e-mail. When using the contact form, it is necessary to provide a valid e-mail address so that we know who the enquiry is from and so that we can answer it. Further information can be provided voluntarily.
Your personal data will only be used for contact or for the purpose for which you have provided us with this data, e.g. for processing your enquiries, technical administration of the website and customer administration.
Insofar as this involves information on communication channels (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number), you consent to us contacting you via this communication channel, if necessary, in order to respond to your request.
Data processing for the purpose of contacting us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO on the basis of your voluntarily given consent.
The personal data collected by us for the use of the contact form will be automatically deleted after completion of your request.
d) For events
We are the organiser or co-organiser of various events. For the purpose of organising such events, personal data (name, organisation, address, e-mail address, telephone number) is requested and stored and processed in accordance with point c). Only those data are collected that are necessary for the requested service and in case follow-up questions arise (legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO). It is your free decision whether you enter and send this data.
The personal data will not be passed on to third parties without authorisation, but will be stored and processed confidentially for internal use for the purpose of organising and processing events. Personal data that is not subject to retention obligations under tax law or commercial law will be deleted immediately after the purpose ceases to apply - unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data.
Booking
When you book our services and events, additional personal data is collected, processed and used to the extent that this is required for order processing and the use of the services by you or if you have provided the information voluntarily in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO. This includes (professional) contact and organisational data, bank data (IBAN, BIC, credit card number), booking requests, contract data and, if applicable, sensitive personal data (health data). Payment is possible by purchase on account (bank transfer) or PayPal.
Once the contract has been fully processed, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after expiry of the tax and commercial regulations - unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data.
Recordings
In the course of our events, recordings and recordings (media accompaniment) are made. Name details, photo, audio, video and/or text recordings are processed, made available to participants and stored. Names may also be seen, heard and/or chat messages read in digital formats. In this case, participants are free to change the settings on their own device (change name, turn off video and audio) to counteract this.
Recordings for which consent has been given in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO may be distributed and published by the organiser without any claim to remuneration. The recordings will be used primarily for event documentation and reporting (incl. social media) and may be published in excerpts. We would like to point out that recordings can be accessed worldwide when published on the internet or in social networks. Further use and/or alteration by third parties cannot be ruled out.
You can object to the publication at any time (also subsequently). Please use the above contact details for your objection. Stored recordings in which you are recognisable and which essentially show you (in picture or sound) will then - as far as technically possible - be deleted immediately.
e) When conducting a survey
Participation in the survey is voluntary, as is answering individual questions. All information will be treated confidentially.
When answering the questions in our survey, no personal data will be collected that goes beyond the information you have provided yourself. Insofar as the choice or formulation of the answers makes it possible to draw conclusions about the person of the participant, the data processing is carried out to protect our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The survey serves the respective research project. This constitutes legitimate interests within the meaning of the aforementioned provision.
At the end of the survey, you can voluntarily provide your email address. Your email address will not be merged with the survey data and will be stored separately from your answers. The processing of your e-mail address is based on Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
We store the questions and answers of the survey. In addition, the results are evaluated and analysed by employees of the Mountainbike Tourismusforum Deutschland e. V..
Your answers will be anonymised or deleted as soon as we have completed the project. Unless there are reasons that justify longer storage (for example, if you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO).
The documentation and possible publication of the survey results will only take place in anonymised form,without naming you by name and without providing any information that could be used to identify you.

6. social plug-ins
We use social plug-ins of the social network Facebook on our website on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. The underlying promotional purpose is to be regarded as a legitimate interest within the meaning of the DSGVO. The responsibility for data protection-compliant operation is to be ensured by their respective providers. We integrate these plugins using the so-called two-click method in order to protect visitors to our website as best as possible.
Social media plugins from Facebook are used on our website to make their use more personal. We use the "LIKE" or "SHARE" button for this purpose. This is an offer from Facebook.
When you call up a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser, which then integrates it into the website.
By integrating the plugin, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there.
If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign your visit to our website directly to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the "LIKE" or "SHARE" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on Facebook and displayed to your Facebook friends.
Facebook may use this information for the purposes of advertising, market research and the needs-based design of Facebook pages. For this purpose, Facebook creates usage, interest and relationship profiles, e.g. to evaluate your use of our website with regard to the advertisements displayed to you on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website and to provide other services associated with the use of Facebook.
If you do not want Facebook to assign the data collected via our website to your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.
For the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook's privacy policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).
