3. General Information and Mandatory Information

Data Protection

The operators of this site take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the Responsible Authority

The responsible authority for data processing on this website is:

Kulturhaltestelle gGmbH
Kurfürstendamm 137
10711 Berlin
Phone: +49 (0)30 863 989 17
Email: info@kulturhaltestelle.de

The responsible authority is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage Duration

Unless a more specific storage duration is mentioned in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to apply. If you assert a legitimate deletion request or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, provided we have no other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after those reasons no longer apply.

Note on Data Transfer to the USA

Our website integrates tools from companies based in the USA. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a secure third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to provide personal data to security authorities without you being able to take legal action against this as a data subject. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., secret services) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent that you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Specific Cases and Against Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 PAR. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. YOU CAN FIND THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH A PROCESSING IS BASED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PAR. 1 GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PAR. 2 GDPR).

Complaint to the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, affected persons have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, their workplace, or the location of the alleged violation. The right to complain does not affect any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to request that data we process automatically based on your consent or to fulfill a contract be handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only occur insofar as it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Right to Information, Deletion, and Correction

You have the right to request free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing at any time, within the framework of applicable legal provisions, and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time using the address provided in the imprint for further questions regarding personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data. You can contact us at any time using the address provided in the imprint. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

- If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the examination, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.

- If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

- If we no longer need your personal data but you need it to assert, defend, or exercise legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data instead of deletion.

- If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. As long as it is not clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may – apart from their storage – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

6. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need your email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected unless voluntarily provided. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not share it with third parties.

You can revoke the consent you have given for the storage of your data, email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example, through the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter.

The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter, at which point it will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list. Data that has been stored for other purposes will remain unaffected.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist to prevent future mailings.

7. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with Enhanced Privacy

This website integrates videos from YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this website before they view the video. However, the sharing of data with YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the enhanced privacy mode. Thus, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you view a video.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This informs the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, YouTube may store various cookies on your device after starting a video or use similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud attempts.

After starting a YouTube video, additional data processing operations may be triggered, over which we have no influence.

Using YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, processing will occur solely based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

For more information about data protection at YouTube, please see their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Vimeo without Tracking (Do-Not-Track)

This website uses plugins from the video portal Vimeo. The provider is Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.

When you visit one of our pages equipped with Vimeo videos, a connection to the Vimeo servers is established. The Vimeo server is informed which of our pages you have visited. In addition, Vimeo obtains your IP address. However, we have set up Vimeo to ensure that it does not track your user activities and does not set cookies.

Using Vimeo is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, processing will occur solely based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission and, according to Vimeo, on "legitimate business interests." Details can be found here: https://vimeo.com/privacy.

Google Maps

This site uses the mapping service Google Maps. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Using Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings and easy findability of the locations we have indicated on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
