Heike Köppen-Heddaeus, acting under plenamedia.tv, Rodemich 25, 51469 Bergisch Gladbach (hereinafter merely "plenamedia"), is the operator of the website plenamedia.tv and therefore wishes to inform you in the following Data Privacy Statement of the extent to which data are collected during the use of our website plenamedia.tv, and for what purpose these data are used. It is generally possible to use plenamedia's websites without actively entering personal data. Certain data, including personal data such as your IP address, will however be automatically collected in order to enable you to use plenamedia's websites. Where a data subject wishes to use particular services of our company via our website however, further personal data may need to be actively entered and be processed. If processing of personal data is intended, and there is no legal basis for such processing, we shall, of course, obtain the data subject's consent prior to collecting and processing the data. The processing of personal data, e.g. the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, shall always take place in line with the General Data Protection Regulation and in conformity with the country-specific provisions on data protection that are applicable to plenamedia. plenamedia has, as the controller responsible for the processing, implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via this website are protected as fully as possible. Absolute protection cannot be guaranteed however, as there is always the possibility that Internet-based data transfers contain security vulnerabilities.

DEFINITIONS

This Data Privacy Statement of plenamedia is based on the terminology that the European legislator of directives and regulations used when issuing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our Data Privacy Statement is intended to be easily readable and understandable for the general public as well as for our customers and business associates.

Data subject

A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller responsible for the processing.

Processing

Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

Controller or controller responsible for the processing

Controller or controller responsible for the processing means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for the controller's nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

Processor

Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

Recipient

Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

Third party

Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

Consent

Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

Name and Address of the Controller Responsible for the Processing

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Processing Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions relating to data protection law is: Heike Köppen-Heddaeus, acting under plenamedia.tv, Rodemich 25, 51469 Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, info@plenamedia.tv, tel.: +49 2202 25 45 00, fax: +49 2202 25 45 04, website: plenamedia.tv.

Supervisory Authority

If you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data conflicts with the statutory provisions, you have the option of complaining to a supervisory authority. You can do so by, for example, contacting the supervisory authority that has jurisdiction over us. The supervisory authority having jurisdiction over us is: Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen [Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information for North Rhine-Westphalia], Postfach 20 04 44 40102 Düsseldorf, tel.: 0211/38424-0, fax: 0211/38424-10, email: poststelle@ldi.nrw.de. Any data subject can contact Ms Köppen-Heddaeus, the person responsible for the collection and processing of data, directly at any time with any questions and suggestions.

Cookies

plenamedia's websites use cookies. Cookies are text files installed and stored on a computer system via a web browser. Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be associated with the specific web browser where the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to differentiate the data subject's individual browser from other web browsers containing other cookies. A specific web browser can be recognised and identified by way of the unique cookie ID. By using cookies, plenamedia can provide the users of this website with services that are more user-friendly and would otherwise not be possible. Cookies enable the information and offerings on our website to be optimised with the user in mind. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, users of a website that uses cookies need not re-enter their log-in details every time they visit the website, as this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. The data subject may prevent the placement of cookies by our website at any time by using the corresponding setting in the web browser used, and thus permanently opt out of the placement of cookies. Furthermore, cookies already placed may be deleted at any time using a web browser or other software programmes. This is possible in all common web browsers. If the data subject deactivates the placement of cookies in the web browser used, some features of our website may possibly not be fully usable.

Collection of General Data and Information

plenamedia's website collects a series of general data and information every time a data subject or an automated system accesses the website. These general data and information are stored in the server's log files. The following data and information may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of accessing of the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information serving to protect against attacks on our information technology systems. plenamedia shall not draw any conclusions about the data subject when using these general data and information. Rather, this information is needed in order to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) optimise the content of our website and the advertising for this, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement agencies with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

Contact Options via the Website

plenamedia's website contains, as stipulated by law, information that enables electronic contact to be quickly made with our company as well as direct communication with us, including a general address for so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts by email, or via a contact form, the controller responsible for the processing, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the controller responsible for the processing are stored for the purpose of processing or for contacting the data subject. These personal data are not passed on to third parties.

Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data

The controller responsible for the processing shall process and store the data subject's personal data only for the period necessary for attaining the purpose of the storage, or insofar as this has been provided for by the European legislator of directives and regulations or any other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller responsible for the processing is subject. If the purpose of the storage ceases to exist, or a storage period prescribed by the European legislator of directives or regulations or another competent legislator expires, the personal data shall be blocked or erased routinely and in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Rights of the Data Subject

The applicable data protection law grants you extensive rights as the data subject. You are entitled to, inter alia, statutory rights to obtain access, rectification, erasure and restriction of processing, and to object to processing, as well as a right to data portability. Additionally, you may revoke at any time any consent to processing that you have given, and complain to a supervisory authority.

Right to confirmation

The European legislator of directives and regulations grants every data subject the right to obtain from the controller responsible for the processing confirmation as to whether personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, he or she may, to this end, contact at any time an employee of the controller responsible for the processing.

Right of access

The European legislator of directives and regulations grants every data subject whose personal data are being processed the right to obtain at any time from the controller responsible for the processing, free of charge, information concerning the personal data stored relating to his or her person, and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator of directives and regulations grants the data subject access to the following information: the purposes of the processing; the categories of personal data concerned; the recipients or categories of recipient to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations; where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period; the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject, or to object to such processing; the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority; where the personal data are not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source; the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject. Furthermore, the data subject shall have the right to be informed of whether personal data have been transmitted to a third country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject shall, furthermore, have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to such transmission. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, he or she may, to this end, contact at any time an employee of the controller responsible for the processing.

Right to rectification

The European legislator of directives and regulations grants every data subject whose personal data are being processed the right to obtain without delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall, furthermore, have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, to this end, contact at any time an employee of the controller responsible for the processing.

Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

The European legislator of directives and regulations grants every data subject whose personal data are being processed the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without delay where one of the following grounds applies, and the processing is not necessary: The personal data are no longer needed for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed. The data subject withdraws his or her consent on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6 (1) GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9 (2) GDPR, and where there is no other legal grounds for the processing. The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (2) GDPR. The personal data have been unlawfully processed. The personal data have to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject. The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8 (1) GDPR. Where one of the aforementioned grounds applies, and a data subject wishes to obtain the erasure of personal data stored at plenamedia, he or she may, to this end, contact at any time an employee of the controller responsible for the processing. The plenamedia employee shall bring about compliance with the erasure request without delay. Where plenamedia has made the personal data public, and our company is, as the controller, obliged pursuant to Article 17 (1) GDPR to erase the personal data, plenamedia shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers responsible for processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such other controllers of any links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data, insofar as the processing is not necessary. The plenamedia employee shall arrange the necessary steps in each individual case.

Right to restriction of processing

The European legislator of directives and regulations grants every data subject whose personal data are being processed the right to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies: The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data. The processing is unlawful, and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead. The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) GDPR, and it has not yet been established whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject. Where one of the aforementioned prerequisites applies, and a data subject wishes to obtain the restriction of personal data stored at plenamedia, he or she may, to this end, contact at any time an employee of the controller responsible for the processing. The plenamedia employee shall bring about the restriction of processing.

Right to data portability

The European legislator of directives and regulations grants every data subject whose personal data are being processed the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Additionally, he or she shall have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6 (1) GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9 (2) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6 (1) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, insofar as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller. In exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20 (1) GDPR, the data subject shall, furthermore, have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where this is technically feasible, and the rights and freedoms of others are not adversely affected. To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact a plenamedia employee at any time.

Right to object

The European legislator of directives and regulations grants every data subject whose personal data are being processed the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6 (1) GDPR. This shall also apply to profiling based on those provisions. If an objection is lodged, plenamedia shall no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Where plenamedia processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of his or her personal data for such marketing. This shall also apply to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. Where the data subject lodges with plenamedia an objection to processing for direct marketing purposes, plenamedia shall no longer process the personal data for such purposes. Where personal data are processed at plenamedia for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89 (1) GDPR, the data subject shall, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, additionally have the right to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest. To exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact any employee of plenamedia or another employee. In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, the data subject shall, furthermore, be free to exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

Right to withdraw consent given under data protection law

The European legislator of directives and regulations grants every data subject whose personal data are being processed the right to withdraw at any time his or her consent to processing of personal data. If the data subject wishes to assert his or her right to withdraw consent, he or she may, to this end, contact at any time an employee of the controller responsible for the processing.

Provisions on Data Protection Relating to the Application and Use of Google Analytics (including an anonymisation feature)

On this website, the controller responsible for the processing has integrated the component Google Analytics (including an anonymisation feature). Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis encompasses the collection, gathering and evaluation of data concerning the behaviour of website visitors. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website from which a data subject has arrived at a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed, or how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is used mainly to optimise a website and for a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising. The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The controller responsible for the processing uses the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analysis via Google Analytics. The IP address of the data subject's Internet connection is shortened and made anonymous by means of this addition if our websites are accessed from a Member State of the European Union or another signatory state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the visitor flows on our website. The data and information acquired is used by Google in order to, inter alia, evaluate the use of our website, compile for us online reports showing the activities on our websites and render other services in connection with the use of our website. Google Analytics places a cookie onto the data subject's information technology system. It has already been explained above what cookies are. By placing the cookie, Google is able to analysis the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the web browser on the data subject's information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. During that technical process, Google acquires personal data, such as the data subject's IP address, which make it possible for Google to, inter alia, trace the origin of the visitors and their clicks and, consequently, calculate commission. The cookie stores personal information, such as the time of access, the location from which access is made, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Every time our websites are visited, these personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, are transferred to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. In certain circumstances, these personal data collected via the technical process are passed on by Google to third parties. The data subject may at any time, as already set out above, prevent the placement of cookies by our website by using the corresponding setting in the web browser used, and thus permanently opt out of the placement of cookies. Such setting of the web browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie onto the data subject's information technology system. Additionally, cookies already placed by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time using a web browser or other software programmes. Furthermore, the data subject has the option of opting out of the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to his or her use of this website, and the processing of these data by Google, and preventing such collection and processing. To do so, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on uses JavaScript to notify Google Analytics that no data or information relating to visits to websites are permitted to be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is classified by Google as an opt-out. If the data subject's information technology system is erased, formatted or re-installed at a later date, the data subject must re-install the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person under his or her authority, there is the option of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on. Further information and Google's applicable data privacy policy can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

Provisions on Data Protection Relating to the Application and Use of YouTube

On this website, the controller responsible for the processing has integrated components of YouTube. YouTube is an Internet video portal that enables video publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them likewise free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and television broadcasts, but also music videos, trailers or videos created by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal. The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and into which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the web browser on the data subject's information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. For this purpose, the IP address of the Internet connection from which our website with the respective component is accessed is transmitted to YouTube in order to enable YouTube, in turn, to transfer the component integrated into the website to the accessing web browser for the purpose of displaying. Further information about YouTube can be accessed at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. During that technical process, YouTube and Google are informed of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject. If the data subject is logged onto YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognises which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting by calling up a subpage containing a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and associated with the respective YouTube account of the data subject. YouTube and Google are informed by the YouTube component about the data subject's visit to our website every time the data subject is logged onto YouTube while accessing our website, regardless of whether or not the data subject clicks on a YouTube video. If the data subject does not want such information to be transferred to YouTube and Google in this way, he or she may prevent the transfer by logging out of his or her YouTube account before accessing our website. The data privacy policy published by YouTube can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and provides insight into the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

Google Maps

This website uses the map service Google Maps via an API. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Use of the Google Maps features requires that your IP address be stored. This information is ordinarily transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this website has no influence over this transfer of data. Google Maps is used in the interest of presenting our online services in an appealing manner and making it easy to locate the places specified by us on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR. More information on the handling of user data can be found in Google's data privacy statement at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Google Web Fonts

For the uniform display of fonts, this website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google. When a website is accessed, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to correctly display texts and fonts. To do this, the browser used by you needs to establish a connection with Google's servers. As a result, Google is informed that your IP address has been used to access our website. Google web fonts are used in the interest of presenting our online services in a uniform and appealing manner. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font installed on your computer will be used. Further information on Google web fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's data privacy statement at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/. More information on the handling of user data at Google Analytics can be found in Google's data privacy statement at: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Legal Basis for the Processing

Art. 6 (I) a) GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, for example where processing operations are necessary for supplying goods or for rendering any other service or counter-performance, the processing is based on Article 6 (I) b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries relating to our products or services. Where our company is subject to a legal obligation that necessitates processing of personal data, for example for fulfilling tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (I) c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case if, for example, a visitor were injured at our company, and his name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to then be passed on to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties. In such case, the processing would be based on Article 6 (I) d) GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6 (I) f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds, provided that the processing is necessary for protecting a legitimate interest pursued by our company or a third party, and the interests or the basic rights or freedoms of the data subject are not overriding. In particular, we shall be permitted to carry out such processing operations because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. The European legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 GDPR).

Legitimate Interests in Processing Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 (I) f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is in carrying out our business activities.

Duration of the Storage of Personal Data

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After this period has expired, the corresponding data shall be routinely erased insofar as they are no longer needed for the performance or initiation of a contract. As a general rule, we shall, moreover, store your personal data only as long as the processing is necessary for the purpose for which the data were originally collected. Statutory or contractual provisions concerning the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of non-provision We hereby inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. under tax regulations) or may arise from contractual provisions (e.g. details relating to the contractual partner). The conclusion of a contract may sometimes require that a data subject provide us with personal data that we need to subsequently process. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Non-provision of personal data could result in our not being able to conclude a contract with the data subject. Before the data subject provides personal data, he or she can contact one of our employees. Our employee will explain to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is legally or contractually required or is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide personal data, and what the consequences of non-provision of personal data would be.
