*** Data protection
statement ***

Information on the ascertainment, processing and use of your data (General Data Protection Regulation). Please note that the Special Data Protection Regulation is additionally valid, if it has been explicitly agreed to in the context of the registration for a service.

We consider your confidence in the proper handling of your data as an important requirement for the success of our online offer. Therefore, we attach great importance to data protection. The ascertainment, processing (covers storage, alteration, transmission, blocking and deletion) and use of your data takes only place under observation of the valid legal data protection regulations. Subsequently, we would like to briefly state our principles concerning the ascertainment, processing and use of your data.

1. Ascertainment, processing and use of individual-related data

Individual-related data is information on a person’s identity, such as name, address, date of birth or e-mail address. Such data occur, for example, when you conclude a contract or participate in a lottery.

a. General use of our online offer
Basically, no individual-related data is collected, processed and/or used because of the use of our online offer.

b. Use of services
Individual-related data are only collected, if you communicate them to us of your own accord. Then we process and use these data as far as it is necessary for the provision of the respective service.

c. Use of your data for the customer relationship management
In the context of our online offer, we offer you the possibility of being informed by us about interesting offers and news in the most different ways (e-mail, phone and/or SMS/MMS). For each company of the ProSiebenSat.1-group or our co-operation partners, contacting you is centrally carried out by the SevenOne Intermedia GmbH which is responsible, within the ProSiebeSat.1-group, for the care of the relationship to the end customer, thus the customer relationship management. Therefore, the data collected from you are forwarded to them, as long as the data have not been collected by the SevenOne Intermedia GmbH itself, and are stored, processed and used (including the connection and interpretation) in a central database of the SevenOne Intermedia GmbH. This includes the use of these data by the SevenOne Intermedia GmbH for other companies of the ProSiebenSat.1-group.

2. Ascertainment, processing and use of usage data

Usage data are data that do not actively allocate themselves, but can be passively collected, while you are using this website for example.
When visiting our online offer, we store the domain name or the IP address of the enquiring computer, the file enquiry of the client (file name and URL), the http-response-code, the website from which you are visiting us, as well as the date and the duration of your visit for a period of four (4) workdays. The storage is carried out in order to detect malfunctions and abuse of our online offer and our telecommunication services and facilities, as far as it is necessary for establishing further connections and/or for the purpose of invoicing. An interpretation of your usage data for the development of individual-related usage profiles does not take place, as long as you did not explicitly agree to it. In the event of malfunctions or abuse, we reserve the right to report to the law enforcement agency. Further use or forwarding of your usage data to third parties does not take place.

3. Usage of cookies

• What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that is sent by www-servers when visiting a website and is buffered on the hard disk of the respective user. If the respective server is accessed again, the user’s browser will send the cookie, which has been received before, back to the server. Then the server can interpret the information received through this procedure in different ways. For example, advertisement pop-ups can be controlled or the navigation on websites can be made easier by cookies.

• How does SIM use cookies?

When you have activated it once, you can deactivate the auto-log-in at any time. If you do not want to make use of the advantages of cookies, our online offer can naturally be used without cookies. Each www-browser can be set in such a way that cookies are generally refused.

4. Forwarding of your data

For the implementation of the customer relationship management, your data are only forwarded to companies of the ProSiebenSat.1-group. Your data will not be forwarded to our co-operation partners or other third parties, unless
• your explicit consent is on hand

We reserve the right to alter this General Data Protection Regulation under observation of the valid data protection regulations at any time. The version of the General Data Protection Regulation, that is available at the time of your visit, is always valid for the use of our online offer. If you have given us individual-related data of your own accord on the occasion of the use of services, you will be informed about altered conditions in a suitable way (e.g. via e-mail) four weeks before they come into effect at the latest.

We will especially point out the importance of this four-week time limit in the

Special Data Protection Regulation

Please note that the Special Data Protection Regulation is only valid for persons who have explicitly agreed to it in the context of a registration for a service. The General Data Protection Regulation is additionally valid. At points where the General Data Protection Regulation and the Special Data Protection Regulation overlap, the Special Data Protection Regulation is preferentially valid.

We consider your confidence in the proper handling of your data as an important requirement for the success of our offer. Therefore, we attach great importance to data protection and use your personal data according to your consent and as described in the Special Data Protection Regulation. We would like to inform you about services that could be interesting for you (games, lotteries, community, club, shop, etc.) and offers of companies of the ProSiebenSat.1-group. Furthermore, we co-operate with partners (cooperation partners) from different fields in order to be able to submit interesting offers of them and, if possible, offers specific to you (e.g. reduced concert tickets, attractive lotteries, meetings with stars, special shopping advantages and much more).

In order to adjust our offer to your intersts in an optimal way, we collect, process (including storage, alteration, transmission, blocking and deletion of data) and use your data according to your consent as supplementary described in detail:

For each company of the ProSiebenSat.1-group or our co-operation partners, contacting you is usually centrally carried out by the SevenOne Intermedia GmbH which is responsible, within the ProSiebeSat.1-group, for the care of the relationship to the end customer.
