You can contact our data protection officer at datenschutz@alteoper.de or at our postal address with the addition "The Data Protection Officer".

3. YOUR RIGHTS

You have the following rights in relation to us with regard to your personal data:

3.1. GENERAL RIGHTS

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) as well as data portability (Art. 20 GDPR). If the processing is based on your consent, you will have the right to withdraw this consent with effect for the future.

3.2. RIGHT TO OBJECT

Pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, you have the right to make an objection at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing of personal data relating to you that is based on Art. 6(1)(e) GDPR (data processing in the public interest) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (data processing for protection of a legitimate interest); this also applies to profiling on the basis of this provision. If you express an objection, we shall no longer process your personal data unless we can prove compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

3.3. RIGHTS IN THE CASE OF DIRECT MARKETING

If we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you will have the right pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to you for such marketing; this includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for the purposes of direct marketing, we shall no longer process your personal data for these purposes.

3.4. RIGHT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT WITH A SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY

You also have the right, pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR, to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority concerning the processing of your personal data by us.

4. COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA WHEN YOU VISIT OUR WEBSITE

If the website is visited only for the purpose of obtaining information, i.e. if you do not register or provide us with information in any other way, we will only collect personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we will collect the following data that is technically necessary for us to display the website to you and to ensure stability and security:

- operating system of the device you use to visit our website
- browser (type, version & language settings)
- the amount of data retrieved
- the current IP address of the device you use to visit our website
- time and date of access
- the URL of the previously visited website (referrer)
- the URL of the (sub)page you access on the website
- the internet service provider of the accessing system

We (and our service provider) are not normally aware of who is behind an IP address. We do not combine the above-mentioned data with other data.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Since the collection of data for the provision of the website and storage in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website and in order to prevent misuse, our legitimate interest in data processing is an overriding factor at this point.

5. CONTACTING US BY E-MAIL OR CONTACT FORM

When you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, the data you provide (your e-mail address, possibly your name and phone number) will be stored by us in order to answer your questions. The legal basis for this purpose will be Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Whereas we request information via our contact form which is not a necessity for making contact, we have always marked this as optional. We use this information to specify your request and to improve the processing of your issue. This information is communicated expressly on a voluntary basis and with your consent, pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. If this concerns information for communication channels (for example, email addresses, telephone numbers), you also give permission for us to contact you through these communication channels as well if necessary in order to respond to your requests. You may of course withdraw this consent at any time for the future.

We erase the data that arises in this connection when storage is no longer required, or we restrict the processing if statutory retention duties apply.

6. NEWSLETTER (CleverReach)

You may subscribe to various newsletters on some of our websites, which we use to inform you about upcoming events, current information relating to our services or special promotions. The content of the individual newsletters is described briefly in the context of the registration process. The legal basis for sending the relevant newsletter is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

We use the service of the provider CleverReach GmbH & Co KG based in Germany. We have concluded an order processing agreement with CleverReach pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR that allows us to continue to protect your personal data.

We use the double opt-in procedure to register for our newsletters. This means that after your registration we send you an e-mail to the e-mail address you provided in which we ask you for confirmation that you would like to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within 14 days, your data will be erased at the end of this period.

The only mandatory information required to send the newsletter is your e-mail address. The provision of further data is voluntary: This data is used to address you personally. After your confirmation, we will store your e-mail address in order to send the newsletter until you withdraw your consent. We also store your IP address that is current at the time of registration, the time of registration itself as well as the confirmation for up to three years after registration (limitation period). The purpose of this procedure is to verify your registration in case of doubt and, if necessary, to deal with any misuse of your personal data. The legal basis for recording of the registration is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1), sentence 1 (f) GDPR in the substantiation of consent granted previously. You may declare your withdrawal by clicking on the link provided in every newsletter e-mail or by sending a contact request to the Data Protection Officer named above (datenschutz@alteoper.de).

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, in order to analyse and optimise our websites. The service provider responsible for this in the EU is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").
For example, we may analyse how many users visit our site, which information is most in demand or how users find the offer. Among other things, we collect data relating to the website from which a data subject came to a website (known as the referrer), which subpages of the website have been accessed or how often and for how long a subpage has been viewed. This helps us to design and improve our services in a user-friendly way. The data collected will not be used to identify individual users personally. Anonymous or at most pseudonymous data is collected. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

10.1. SCOPE OF PROCESSING

Google Analytics uses cookies that facilitate an analysis of your use of our website. The information collected by cookies concerning your use of this website is normally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
We use the 'anonymizeIP' function (so-called IP masking): On account of the activation of the IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will first be truncated by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other states that are parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. The IP address transmitted from your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be combined with other data by Google.
During your visit to the website, the following data items will be collected, among others:

- achievement of "website goals" (conversions, e.g. newsletter registrations, downloads, purchases)
- your user behaviour (e.g. clicks, dwell time, bounce rates)
- your approximate location (region)
- your IP address (in abbreviated form)
- technical information about your browser and the end devices you use (e.g. language setting, screen resolution)
- your internet provider
- the referrer URL (via which website/advertising medium you came to this website)

10.2. PURPOSES OF THE PROCESSING

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your pseudonymous use of the website and to compile reports about website activity. The reports provided by Google Analytics are used to analyse the performance of our website as well as the success of our marketing campaigns.

10.3. RECIPIENTS

Recipients of data are/may be:

- Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (as processor pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR)

- Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA

- Alphabet Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA

We cannot exclude the possibility that US authorities will access the data stored by Google. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google for this purpose.

10.4. TRANSFER TO THIRD COUNTRIES

Insofar as any data is processed outside the EU/EEA, Google LLC. has certified itself according to the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) program and is listed in the Data Privacy Framework list of the International Trade Administration (ITA). This means that Google has given a public commitment to comply with the DPF obligations and any data transfer to the USA is unobjectionable due to the current adequacy decision of the European Commission of 10 July 2023.

You will find a list of currently certified US companies here: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search. Further information on the Data Privacy Framework Program can be found on the official website of the ITA: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/.

a. not giving your consent for the setting of the cookie or
b. downloading and installing the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics here.
You can also prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. However, if you configure your browser to reject all cookies, this may limit the functionality of this and other websites.

10.6. LEGAL BASIS AND WITHDRAWAL OPTION

11.1.1. General information

Facebook is a service provided by Meta Platforms, Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (hereinafter referred to as "Facebook").

We expressly draw your attention to the fact that Facebook stores users' data (e.g. IP address, preferences and personal interests, behaviour on Facebook pages, any personal information stored on Facebook, etc.) and uses it for business purposes.
We have no influence on the processing and further use of this data, since Facebook alone determines the processing. We do not currently know to what extent, where and for how long the data is stored, to what extent the data is linked and analysed and to which parties the data is forwarded. We also have no insight or influence concerning erasure periods, i.e. whether and to what extent erasure periods are observed.
Information from Facebook itself about what information is collected can be found in Facebook's privacy policy, which may be viewed here: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

In this way, according to Facebook, all information that can be used by Facebook to identify you will be erased.

11.1.2. Scope of data collection and storage

You do not need to be a Facebook member to view the content on our Facebook fan page. However, Facebook collects, stores and uses data every time you visit our site.

Automated decision-making including profiling pursuant to Art, 22 GDPR does not take place.

We only store personal data until the purpose for which the data was obtained has been achieved. As part of a business relationship with you, we store your personal data for as long as the business relationship continues, including the initiation and execution of a contract and the normal limitation period. We will also store the data if and to the extent that we are subject to statutory retention obligations. These may arise, for example, from the German Commercial Code (HGB) or the German Fiscal Code (AO).
If you have granted us your consent for a processing operation, the data relating to the granting of consent will be stored until it is withdrawn or at the latest for the duration of the processing operation and after termination of the same within the scope of the statute of limitations.

11.1.4. Disclosure and use of personal data

If you interact with Facebook, Facebook will of course also have access to your data. Facebook is located in an unsafe third country where the level of data protection is lower. The data transfer is based on the standard data protection clauses. You will find more information here.

11.1.5. Legal bases

If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the above-mentioned interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR will be the legal basis for the processing. We see our legitimate interest in data processing in the presentation of our company and our products and services for your information and in particular in the provision of up-to-date communication options for you and with you.

10.1.6. Joint controllers for the processing

Alte Oper Frankfurt Konzert- und Kongresszentrum GmbH
Opernplatz

and

Meta Platforms Ireland Limited

According to the European Court of Justice (ECJ), we are jointly responsible with Facebook for the processing of your personal data. You will find the ECJ's decision of 5 June 2018 here.

With regard to Art. 26 GDPR, we must inform you below about the essentials of the joint responsibility agreement between us and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum.

11.2. YouTube

For embedding YouTube (two-click solution):
We use the services of YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, a subsidiary of Google Inc, Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, on our website. For users who have their habitual residence in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland will be the controller with responsibility for your data.
We use a two-click solution to protect your personal data. When you access a page in which a YouTube video is embedded, a connection to the YouTube servers is established only when you click on the "Confirm" button. In this case, YouTube will set cookies and use your visit data for its own purposes. If you are logged in to YouTube at the time, the information about the videos you have viewed will be assigned to your YouTube member account. You can prevent this by logging out of your member account prior to visiting our website. Where data is processed outside the European Economic Area / the EU, where there is no level of data protection in line with the European standard, Google states that it uses standard contractual clauses.
Further information on data protection from YouTube is provided by Google at the following link: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

12. DATA TRANSMISSION

Your data will not be transferred to third parties unless we are legally required to do so or the transfer of data is necessary for the execution of the contractual relationship or you have previously expressly granted consent for the transfer of your data.
External service providers and partner companies will only receive your data if this is necessary to fulfil the contract. In these cases, however, the amount of personal data transmitted is limited to the minimum necessary. Insofar as our service providers come into contact with your personal data, we ensure that they comply with the provisions of data protection laws in the same way as part of order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. Please also note the respective privacy statements of the providers. The respective service provider will be responsible for the content of external services, whereby we check the services for compliance with the legal requirements as far as reasonably possible.
We attach great importance to processing your personal data within the EU/EEA. However, we may use service providers who process personal data outside the EU/EEA. In these cases, we ensure that an appropriate level of data protection is established with the recipient before your personal data is transferred. This means that a level of data protection is achieved via EU standard contracts or an adequacy decision that is comparable to the standards within the EU.

13. DATA SECURITY

We have taken extensive technical and operational precautions to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised parties. Our security procedures are reviewed on a regular basis and adapted in accordance with technological progress.
