DATA PROTECTION INFORMATION EPDT GOLF TOURS GMBH

It goes without saying that we take all matters regarding data protection very seriously. We are very much committed to protecting the privacy of the users of our website at any time. When and as far as the user notifies personal data voluntarily, they will be collected and stored according to the legal data protection provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the German Telemedia Act (TMG). All data are, of course, treated confidentially. With the following data protection information, we would like to explain in more detail how we handle data.

 

1.     Access data without personal reference

 

  • In order to improve the visit of our website, certain access data are collected and stored; it is, however, not possible to identify individual persons by means of these data. As soon as the user requests a file from a website, access data are collected and stored by default.

 

  • The data record regularly consists of:

   - the website from which the file was requested,

   - the name of the file,

   - the date and time of the request,

   - the length of stay,

   - the transmitted data volume,

   - the access status (i.e. whether the file was transmitted or if it was possibly not found

     etc.),

   - the IP address of the requesting computer

   - a description of the type and the version of the web browser used,

   - the installed operating system and the set resolution.

 

  • To process your data, we partially make use of external service providers. These have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, they are bound to our instructions and checked at regular intervals. Apart from that, we may forward your personal data to third parties if we offer contract conclusions or similar services together with partners.

 

2.     Collection and storage of personal data

3.     Use of personal data

 

  • Without the user’s separate consent, all personal data will only be used for the performance of the desired service, if applicable.

 

  • Apart from that, we collect personal data within the scope of the intended purpose with regard to possible enquiries made and process them in an automated file. For this purpose, the data may also be transmitted to a service computer centre for further data processing as well as to our related companies.

 

  • Without such consent by user, the collected data will not be used for marketing, market or opinion research purposes. Regarding the receipt of a newsletter, we refer to the following explanations under number 4 .

 

  • If requested in order to fulfil legal obligations (e.g. for prosecution purposes), we will - in the individual case - provide the competent authorities with information regarding the user’s data.

 

4. Newsletter

  • For the registration for our newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. That means that after specification of your e-mail address, we will send a confirmation e-mail to the specified e-mail address in which we ask you to confirm that you want to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm it within 24 hours, the registration will automatically be deleted. If you confirm your request for receipt of the newsletter, we will save your e-mail address until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. The storage exclusively serves the purpose of sending you the newsletter. Apart from that we will - upon registration and confirmation - in each case store your IP address and the points of time in order to prevent any misuse of your personal data.

 

  • Only the e-mail address is compulsory as information for the transmission of the newsletter. More, separately marked data can be specified voluntarily and will only be used to personalize the newsletter. These data will also be completely erased upon withdrawal.

You can declare your withdrawal by clicking the link provided in any newsletter e-mail, by e-mail to info@progolftour.de or by sending a message to the contact data specified in the legal notice or under number 5. Your specified data will not be transmitted to any third party.

“[Check box] Yes, I consent to the receipt of the newsletter with current information on products and services.”

 

4.4     We point out that when dispatching the newsletter, we will analyse your user behaviour. For this analysis, the dispatched e-mails contain so-called web beacons, also referred to as tracking pixels. These are one-pixel image files referring to our website and giving us the possibility to analyse your user behaviour. We do so by collecting the data specified in number 1.2 and web beacons that are assigned to your e-mail address and linked to an own ID. The data are exclusively collected in pseudonymised form, i.e. the IDs are not assigned to your other personal data and can thus not be directly linked to a particular individual.
