5. Plugins und Tools
a) YouTube with extended data protection
This website embeds videos from the website YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the transfer of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the extended data protection mode. Thus, YouTube - regardless of whether you watch a video - establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network.
As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube may store various cookies on your end device or use comparable 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 the user experience, and prevent fraud attempts.
If necessary, further data processing operations may be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no control.
YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Insofar as a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

This website uses plugins of 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. This tells the Vimeo server which of our pages you have visited. In addition, Vimeo obtains your IP address. However, we have set Vimeo in such a way that Vimeo will not track your user activities and will not set any cookies.
The use of Vimeo is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Insofar as a corresponding consent was requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.
Data transfer to the U.S. is based on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and/or the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission, as well as, according to Vimeo, on "legitimate business interests".

To send push notifications, we use the service of the provider OneSignal Inc (hereinafter "OneSignal"), 2850 S Delaware St #201, San Mateo, CA 94403, USA.

6. Newsletter
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use the newsletter service provider Mailchimp to process the newsletter.
Mailchimp
This website uses the services of Mailchimp to send newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
Mailchimp is a service with which, among other things, the sending of newsletters can be organized and analyzed. If you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter (e.g. e-mail address), this data is stored on Mailchimp's servers in the USA.
With the help of Mailchimp, we can analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent with Mailchimp, a file contained in the email (known as a web beacon) connects to Mailchimp's servers in the USA. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked on. Technical information is also collected (e.g. time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.
If you do not wish to be analyzed by Mailchimp, you should unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this purpose in every newsletter message.
The data processing takes place on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here: https://mailchimp.com/eu-us-data-transfer-statement/ und https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/ - Annex_C_-_Standard_Contractual_Clauses.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
You can get more information on the privacy policy of Mailchimp unter https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.
The company is certified according to the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA, which is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF undertakes to comply with these data protection standards.

7. Transfer of personal data
a) Legal basis
We will only pass on your personal data to third parties if this is necessary to achieve our purposes and at least one of the following legal bases exists:
you have expressly given your consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR,
this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR,
in the event that a legal obligation exists for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, as well as
the transfer according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR is necessary to protect our legitimate interests, unless your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms, which require the protection of your personal data, prevail.
b) Data transfer to the USA
We largely, but not exclusively, rely on service providers located within the EU/EEA or a third country for which the European Commission has adopted an adequacy decision within the meaning of Art. 45 of the GDPR. Even in the case of service providers based within the EU/EEA, however, we cannot guarantee in individual cases that they will store or process your data exclusively on servers in countries where a level of protection comparable to that in the EU/EEA prevails.
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We note that the European Commission has adopted an adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (successor to the "Privacy Shield"). The decision states that the United States will ensure an adequate level of protection - comparable to that of the European Union - for personal data transferred from the EU to U.S. companies within the new framework. Based on this sectoral adequacy decision, personal data can be transferred securely from the EU to U.S. companies participating in the framework ("Data Privacy Framework") without having to implement additional data protection safeguards. To participate, companies must have certified themselves with the U.S. Department of Commerce. If they have not done so, the adequacy decision does not serve as a basis for secure data transmission. In these cases, we enter into Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) with the service providers. By concluding standard contractual clauses within the meaning of Art. 46 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, we provide guarantees for the protection of your data.
In addition, we encrypt or pseudonymize personal data before transferring it to a service provider in a third country, if this is technically possible and appropriate.
8. Data subject rights
You have the right to,
to request information about your personal data processed by us in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR. In particular, you can request information about the processing purposes, the category of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection, the existence of a right of complaint, the origin of your data if it has not been collected by us, as well as the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling and, if applicable, meaningful information about its details;
in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, to immediately request the correction of incorrect or completion of your personal data stored by us;
pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR, to request the erasure of your personal data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims;
in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data, insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed by you, the processing is unlawful, but you object to its erasure and we no longer require the data, but you need it for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or you have objected to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR;
pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request that it be transferred to another controller;
in accordance with Art. 7 para.3 GDPR, to revoke your consent given to us at any time. This has the consequence that we may no longer continue the data processing based on this consent in the future; and
complain to a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR. Usually you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence or workplace or our company headquarters for this purpose.
9. Right of objection
If your personal data are processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR, provided that there are grounds for doing so that arise from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct marketing. In the latter case, you have a general right to object, which will be implemented by us without specifying a particular situation.
If you wish to exercise your right to object, an email to info@rammstein-management.de will suffice.
10. Data security
