PRIVACY
Privacy Policy
The protection of your privacy is particularly important to us and a matter of course. The legal requirements demand comprehensive transparency about the processing of personal data. According to Art. 4 No. 1 of the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter “GDPR”), personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Only if the processing is comprehensible to you as the data subject, you are adequately informed about the meaning, purpose and scope of the processing. Below, we therefore inform you in detail and comprehensively about the handling and your rights with regard to your personal data processed by us within the framework of the software-based “CoachInside” platform on the Internet (hereinafter referred to as the “Platform”).

3. General information on data processing
We process personal data only to the extent permitted by law. Disclosure of personal data only takes place in the cases described below. The personal data is deleted or protected by technical measures (e.g., anonymisation) as soon as the purpose of the processing no longer applies. This also occurs when a prescribed storage period expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the personal data for other storage purposes. Unless we are legally obliged to store the data for a longer period of time or to disclose it to third parties (in particular law enforcement authorities), the decision as to which personal data we process depends on which functions of the Platform you use in each individual case.
Please note that you may be taken to other Websites via links on our Platform that are not operated by us but by third parties. Such links are either clearly marked by us or are recognisable by a change in the address line of your browser. We are not responsible for compliance with data protection regulations and secure handling of your personal data on these websites operated by third parties.
4. Processing of personal data when you access the web-presence of the Platform
a. Server logfile
When you access the web-presence of our Platform, information is automatically sent to the server of the web-presence of our Platform by the browser used on your device. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is collected and stored until automated deletion:
IP address of the requesting computer shortened by the last octet,
Date and time of access,
Name and URL of the retrieved file,
Website from which the access is made (referrer URL),
The browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer as well as

The above data will be processed by us for the following purposes:
Ensuring a smooth connection set-up of the web-presence of the Platform,

Reviewing and ensuring system security and stability, and
for other administrative purposes.
The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the aforementioned purposes of data collection. In no case we use the collected personal data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person. We delete this data automatically after three months. We do not combine this personal data with other data sources. Disclosure only takes place insofar as this is necessary for the operation of our web-presence of the Platform, e.g., by our order processor in connection with the programming and hosting of the web-presence of our Platform (see Section 8. of this Privacy Policy).

We have a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of our services.

You can configure your browser in such a way that no cookies are stored on your computer or device or that a message always appears before a new cookie is created.

5. Data processing when contacting us and registering for newsletters and notifications
a. Contact
If you write us an e-mail or contact us via another communication channel, the personal data you provide will be processed by us. This information is transmitted by your e-mail client or other communication channel and processed in our IT systems. The processing of this personal data is necessary to respond to your request.
The processing of your personal data serves to respond to your enquiry. This processing is lawful because answering your enquiry constitutes legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. If, after you have contacted us, a contract is concluded with us in relation to the use of the Platform, the further processing of your personal data is based on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.
The personal data will be processed as long as this is necessary to answer your enquiry. Should your enquiry lead to the conclusion of a contract at a later date, processing will take place as long as this is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures or for the fulfilment of the contract. If no contract is concluded, the personal data is routinely deleted every 6 months at the latest. We do not combine your personal data with other data sources. We do not disclose your personal data to third parties. A transfer to a third country or to an international organisation is not intended.
The provision of your personal data in connection with sending an e-mail or contacting us via any other communication channel is voluntary, so please only provide the personal data you consider necessary to respond to your request.
b. Newsletter/Notification registration
If you would like to receive the newsletter or notification service offered as part of our web-presence on the Platform, we require an e-mail address from you and, if applicable, your confirmation, which allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter.
The processing of your e-mail address for this purpose is based exclusively on your consent by entering your e-mail address in the area provided for this purpose in our web-presence (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
The e-mail address you provide for the purpose of using the newsletter or notification service will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or notification service and will be deleted from the distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or notification service or after the purpose has ceased to exist. We do not combine this personal data with other data sources. Disclosure to third parties does not take place. A transfer to a third country or to an international organisation is not intended.

If you yourself are not a direct contractual party to the user contract that grants you a right of access to the services of our Platform, the legal basis for the processing of your personal data in connection with the registration process is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR to fulfil our contractual obligation towards our contractual partner and to grant you the right of access.
We delete this personal data after termination of the user contract that granted you the right to access the services of our Platform, unless we are obliged by law to retain it further.

12. Data security
We use the widespread SSL procedure (Secure Socket Layer) in connection with the highest encryption level supported by your browser when visiting the website. As a rule, this is 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can tell whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.
We also use appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorised access by third parties. We continuously adapt our security measures in line with technological developments.
However, we would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Due to the further development of our website and offers or due to changed legal or official requirements, it may become necessary to change this data protection declaration.
