To the extent that cookies or similar technologies are used on our Website that are not strictly necessary, the storage of information on your terminal device or access to information already stored on your terminal device shall take place only on the basis of a separate consent in accordance with the applicable legal requirements

4. Processing When You Visit the Website for Informational Purposes

If you use our Website for purely informational purposes, that is, if you do not actively provide us with information, we collect the personal data that your browser automatically transmits to our server or to our hosting provider. This includes, in particular:

  • IP address,
  • date and time of access,
  • requested content or specific URL,
  • referrer URL,
  • browser type and browser version,
  • operating system used,
  • language settings,
  • hostname of the accessing device,
  • access status/HTTP status code,
  • amount of data transferred.

This data is technically necessary in order to display the Website to you, to ensure the stability and security of the operation, to detect misuse, and to troubleshoot faults.

The processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the secure, stable, and technically proper provision of our online offering.

Server log files are generally stored only for as long as necessary to achieve the above purposes, usually for a period of 14 days, unless longer storage is exceptionally required for the investigation of specific security incidents or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

5. Hosting and Technical Provision of the Website

Our Website is hosted by an external technical service provider. In the course of hosting, personal data generated when visiting the Website is processed on the servers of the hosting provider. This includes, in particular, connection data, server log files, and technical data required for the delivery and security of the Website.

The use of the hosting provider is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the professional, secure, and efficient provision of our online offering.

Where the hosting provider processes personal data on our behalf, such processing is carried out on the basis of a data processing agreement pursuant to Article 28 GDPR

6. Content Delivery, IT Security and Protection Against Misuse

In order to ensure the performance, availability, and security of our Website, we may use technical service providers, for example for content delivery networks, web application firewalls, DDoS protection, bot detection, load balancing, or security monitoring.

In this context, IP addresses, technical usage data, device and browser information, access patterns, and security events may in particular be processed.

The processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in ensuring the security, integrity, resilience, and uninterrupted provision of our Platform and in preventing abusive or harmful access.

Where such providers act as processors on our behalf, processing is carried out on the basis of an agreement pursuant to Article 28 GDPR.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our Website uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your terminal device. Comparable technologies may include, in particular, local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, SDKs, or similar technical methods.

We distinguish between technically necessary technologies and those that are not strictly necessary for the operation of the Website.

7.1 Technically Necessary Technologies

Technically necessary cookies and similar technologies are those required to provide the Website, ensure essential functions, manage sessions, distribute load, prevent fraud and misuse, or store your privacy preferences.

The processing of personal data in this context is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the functional, secure, and user-friendly provision of our Website.

To the extent that the storage of or access to information on your terminal device is strictly necessary for these purposes, such processing is carried out on the basis of the applicable legal provisions governing technically necessary technologies.

7.2 Technologies Requiring Consent

To the extent that we use analytics, statistics, audience measurement, convenience, personalisation, marketing, or third-party technologies, the setting of corresponding cookies or the access to information on your terminal device takes place only if you have given us your prior express consent.

The subsequent processing of personal data is then carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw or adjust your consent at any time with effect for the future via [link/button to the consent manager or “Cookie Settings”].

7.3 Consent Management

We use a consent management tool to manage your consents. In this context, information regarding the consents granted or refused by you, timestamps, device/browser information, and, where applicable, your truncated IP address are processed in order to document your choices and to provide legally compliant evidence thereof.

The processing is carried out for the purpose of fulfilling our data protection documentation and accountability obligations and for managing the technologies used.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR, to the extent documentation is required by law, and additionally Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for the technical and organisational management of your preferences.

8. Editorial Content, Multimedia Services and Sports-Related Entertainment Content

As a platform for sports news and sports-related entertainment, we provide editorial content, images, audiovisual content, live elements, embedded media content, social-media-related displays, and other digital formats.

When you merely consume editorial content, we generally process only the data required for the technical delivery and presentation of such content.

Where we embed content from third parties, such as videos, live tickers, audio formats, social media feeds, widgets, result services, maps, or other embedded media, personal data may be transferred to the respective third-party provider when such content is accessed, in particular your IP address and technical usage data.

Such integrations are carried out either on the basis of our legitimate interest in an attractive, modern, and diverse design of our online offering pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR or, where technically required and legally necessary, only after you have given your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Please note that we can influence the further processing of data by the respective third-party provider only to the extent permitted by law and contract.

9. Analytics, Audience Measurement and Optimisation

Where you have given your consent, we use analytics and statistical services in order to evaluate the use of our Website, measure reach, assess the performance of individual content, and further develop our offering in a needs-based manner. This is particularly relevant for an editorial sports news and entertainment platform in order to understand which content, formats, and sections are of particular interest to users.

In this context, the following data may in particular be processed:

  • shortened or full IP address, to the extent provided for by the tool used,
  • device and browser information,
  • times of use,
  • pages visited and interactions,
  • scrolling behaviour, dwell time, and click paths,
  • referrer information,
  • approximate location data,
  • event data relating to the use of content.

The legal basis is your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

10. Contacting Us

If you contact us by e-mail, contact form, or otherwise, we process the personal data communicated by you for the purpose of handling your request. This includes, in particular, your name, your contact details, the content of your message, and any additional information voluntarily provided by you.

The processing is carried out for the purpose of handling and responding to your enquiry. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is aimed at entering into a contract or relates to pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the proper handling of enquiries and communication with users, business partners, media representatives, and other contact persons.

The data arising in this context will be deleted once your enquiry has been conclusively dealt with, provided that no statutory retention obligations or legitimate reasons for longer storage apply.

11. Newsletter and Editorial Notifications

If you subscribe to our newsletter or similar editorial notifications, we process your e-mail address and, where applicable, any further voluntary information in order to send you regular updates on new content, sports-related news, editorial highlights, promotions, or other news relating to our Platform.

We generally use the double opt-in procedure for newsletter subscriptions. In this context, we store, for verification purposes, in particular your e-mail address, the date and time of subscription and confirmation, as well as technical log data.

The legal basis for sending the newsletter is your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future, for example by using the unsubscribe link included in each newsletter e-mail or by contacting us using the contact details set out above.

Where we measure the success of newsletters, for example by evaluating open rates, click behaviour, or reach, this is carried out only to the extent legally permissible and, where required, on the basis of your consent.

12. User Accounts, Comment Functions and Community Areas

Where our Platform provides user accounts, comment sections, forums, polls, reaction functions, or other interactive community features, we process the personal data collected in this context for the purpose of providing, administering, and moderating these functions.

This may include, in particular, name or pseudonym, login data, e-mail address, profile details, comment or contribution content, timestamps, technical metadata, and moderation notes.

Processing is carried out for the performance of the respective user relationship pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and additionally on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR to the extent necessary to ensure secure, lawful, and functional operation of the community features. Our legitimate interest lies in particular in the prevention of misuse, the maintenance of fair interaction, and the enforcement of our terms of use.

We reserve the right to review, moderate, or remove content where this is necessary to comply with legal obligations, to protect the Platform or other users, or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

13. Competitions, Surveys and Promotions

Where we conduct competitions, votes, surveys, or other campaigns in connection with editorial content or user engagement, we process the data provided by you for the purpose of administering the respective campaign, contacting participants, selecting and notifying winners, and, where applicable, complying with legal documentation obligations.

Processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where the campaign is conducted within the framework of a specific participation relationship, and additionally on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR where this is necessary for proper organisation, prevention of misuse, and documentation.

Where consent is required for certain uses, for example for marketing communications or the publication of names/images, processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

14. Social Media Links and Embedded Third-Party Content

Our Website may contain links to social networks and third-party platforms as well as embedded content such as videos, posts, feeds, share functions, or other external content.

Where links are merely displayed without active integration, no personal data is generally transmitted to the respective provider before you click on the link.

Where content is actively embedded, it may be technically necessary for your IP address and further usage data to be transmitted to the respective third-party provider. Where required, this takes place only after you have given your consent or on the basis of our legitimate interest in a user-friendly and far-reaching presentation of editorial content.

Please note that third-party providers may also process personal data for their own purposes. In this respect, the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers shall apply.

  1. Recipients of Personal Data

Within our company, those departments shall receive access to your personal data which require such access for the performance of their duties. In addition, we may use external service providers and other recipients, in particular in the areas of hosting, IT operations, web development, consent management, analytics, newsletter dispatch, support, security, legal advice, tax advice, and other administrative services.

Where external service providers process personal data on our behalf, this is done exclusively on the basis of a data processing agreement pursuant to Article 28 GDPR.

Any transfer to other recipients takes place only where a legal basis exists for such transfer, where you have consented, where the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract, or where we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure.

  1. Transfer of Data to Third Countries

Where we use service providers or functions in the context of which personal data is transferred to countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, or where access from such countries cannot be excluded, such transfer shall take place only in compliance with the legal requirements of Articles 44 et seq. GDPR.

Where no adequacy decision by the European Commission exists for the relevant third country, we generally rely on appropriate safeguards, in particular the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, and, where applicable, supplementary technical and organisational measures.

A copy of the relevant safeguards may be made available upon request, unless this is prevented by statutory or contractual confidentiality obligations.

  1. Storage Period

We store personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless statutory retention obligations or other legitimate reasons justify longer storage.

The specific storage period depends in particular on:

  • the nature and purpose of the processing,
  • the applicable legal basis,
  • statutory retention obligations,
  • data protection and civil law limitation periods,
  • the need for legal defence or the assertion of claims.

Once the respective purpose of storage no longer applies and no further legal basis for the processing exists, the relevant data will be deleted or anonymised.

  1. Your Rights as a Data Subject

Subject to the applicable statutory requirements, you have the following rights:

You have the right to request information as to whether we process personal data relating to you. If this is the case, you have the right of access to such data and to the information specified in Article 15 GDPR.

You have the right to request without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data relating to you and the completion of incomplete personal data.

You have the right to request the erasure of your personal data where the legal requirements are met.

You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data where the legal requirements are met.

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you which you have provided to us and which we process by automated means on the basis of your consent or for the performance of a contract, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, or, where technically feasible, to have such data transmitted to another controller.

Where we process your personal data on the basis of consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal shall remain unaffected.

Right to Object under Article 21 GDPR

Where we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of your personal data.

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or unless the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

Where personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing, including profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

To exercise your rights, you may contact us at any time using the contact details set out in this Privacy Policy.

  1. Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes applicable data protection law.

  1. Obligation to Provide Data

As a general rule, there is no statutory or contractual obligation to provide personal data when using our Website for purely informational purposes.

However, where certain functions or services require the provision of personal data, for example contact enquiries, newsletter subscriptions, competition entries, user accounts, or community functions, we will inform you separately as to which information is required and the consequences of not providing it.

  1. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

As a general rule, no exclusively automated decision-making, including profiling within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR, takes place in connection with the use of this Website, unless expressly stated otherwise in this Privacy Policy.

  1. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against loss, manipulation, unauthorised access, disclosure, or other unauthorised processing. Our security measures are continuously adapted in line with technological developments.

In particular, we use transport encryption in accordance with the current state of the art where this is necessary for the use of the Website and the transmission of confidential content.

  1. Minors

Our online offering is generally intended for a general audience interested in sports news and sports-related entertainment. To the extent that certain functions require registration, participation, or the submission of personal data and may be directed at minors, we take care to comply with the applicable data protection requirements.

If we become aware that personal data has been collected from persons who do not meet the relevant age requirements, we will take appropriate measures to the extent required by law.

  1. Amendments to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy with effect for the future, in particular in the event of changes to the Website, the technologies used, the data processing operations, or the legal framework.

The version published on this Website from time to time shall apply.
