Your rights under the DSGVO
Under the DSGVO, you have the following rights, which you can exercise at any time by contacting the data controller named in section 1 of this privacy statement:

• Right to information: you have the right to request information from us as to whether and what data we process from you.
• Right to rectification: You have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate data or the completion of incomplete data.

Right of withdrawal
You have the right to revoke your consent to data processing at any time.

Right of objection
You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data, which we base on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. If you exercise your right to object, we ask you to explain the reasons. We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can prove to you that compelling reasons worthy of protection for the data processing outweigh your interests and rights.

Irrespective of the above, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for the purposes of advertising and data analysis.

Please send your objection to the contact address of the data controller given above.

When do we delete your data?
We delete your data when we no longer need it or when you instruct us to do so. This means that – unless otherwise stated in the individual data protection notices of this data protection declaration – we delete your data, when the purpose of the data processing has ceased to exist and therefore the respective legal basis stated in the individual data protection notices no longer exists, e.g.

• after termination of the contractual or membership relationship existing between us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) or
• after our legitimate interest in the further processing or storage of your data has ceased to exist (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO),
• if you exercise your right of revocation and no other legal basis for processing within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) b-f DSGVO applies,
• if you exercise your right to object and there are no compelling legitimate grounds for deletion.

However, if we still need to retain (certain parts of) your data for other purposes, for example because tax retention periods (usually 6 years for business correspondence or 10 years for accounting records) or the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims arising from contractual relationships (up to four years) make this necessary or the data is needed to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, we will only delete (that part of) your data after these periods have expired. Until the expiry of these periods, however, we limit the processing of this data to these purposes (fulfilment of retention obligations).

Consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO
If we ask you before your visit to our website to set certain cookies on your terminal device and you consent to this, the legal basis is to be seen in the consent you have given.

In accordance with our legal obligations or because of our legitimate interests in efficient, secure and customer-oriented payment processing, persons who have concluded a contract or other legal relationship with us may use banks and credit institutions as well as other payment service providers for payment. The payment service providers offered by us process inventory data in this context, including name, address or bank data such as account/credit card number, passwords, TANs, verification numbers as well as details of the concluded contract and details of the recipient of the payment.

The data collected in this context is necessary to enable the payment service provider to process the payment. Only the payment service provider commissioned by us collects and processes this personal information. At no time do we receive information about your account or credit card details. We are informed by our payment service provider whether or not our customers’ payment has been received. It is possible that our payment service providers forward the data of our customers to credit information files in order to be able to check the identity and creditworthiness of the payer. In this respect, we refer to the data protection declaration and general terms and conditions (GTC) of our payment service providers.

The general terms and conditions and data protection regulations of the respective payment service provider apply.

Online advertising
We use services to display internet advertising. Through the services we use, certain user data is collected by means of a cookie or pixel. This includes, in particular, the information from which website you have accessed our website (so-called referrer), which pages of our website you have accessed, how long you have visited our pages and which interactions you have carried out there. In addition, data on the browser, computer system and type of device you use are collected. In addition, demographic information such as age or gender can be collected as pseudonymous values via such a service. If you have consented to the collection of your location data, this may also be processed, depending on the provider. In order to collect and store this data, the respective service places a cookie or a so-called counting pixel on the end device you use, which also collects the IP address assigned to you. However, this is shortened using a so-called IP masking procedure, so that the IP address can no longer be assigned to your visit to our website. In principle, no clear data such as names or e-mail addresses are stored when using the respective service. This is only the case if you are a member of a social network that offers one of the services mentioned below and merges your profile with the aforementioned data material.

The data is analysed by the service we use in order to produce a report with statistical statements about the number of visitors generated by the advertising and the success of the advertising measure. The reports show, among other things, the total number of users who were redirected to our website via our advertisements. In addition, the reports contain information on the end devices and browsers of the users, at which locations the users were located, at which times the advertisement was clicked. However, the reports do not contain any information that could be used to personally identify you as a user of our site.

We would like to point out that, depending on the location of the service provider, the data collected via the service may be transmitted and processed outside the area of the European Union. In this case, there is a risk that the level of data protection prescribed by the DSGVO may not be complied with and that the enforcement of your rights may not be possible or may be difficult.

Data concerned:

• Usage data (e.g. access times, web pages clicked on)
• Communication data (e.g. information about the device used, IP address)

Data subjects: Users of our online offers
Purpose of processing: Measuring reach, monitoring the success of campaigns, remarketing as well as interest and behaviour-related marketing.
Legal basis: If we have asked you for your consent before using the respective service, this is the legal basis, Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO. In addition, we use the respective service on the basis of our legitimate interest in directing visitor flows to our website, to analyse these visitor flows in order to be able to continuously improve the functions, offers and user experience, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f

Messenger services
We communicate via messenger services. Messenger services are chat programmes that can be used to send text messages, but also image or video files between users in real time via the internet. In addition, messenger services can also be used to transmit emoticons, electronic greeting cards and contacts. In order for messages to be transmitted, the participants must be connected to each other with a computer programme (called a client) via a network such as the internet, either directly or via a server. As a rule, messages can also be sent when the other party is not online – the message is then temporarily stored by the server of the service and later delivered to the recipient when he or she is available again. Finally, these services can also be used for screen transmission and online gaming.

If the service uses end-to-end encryption for the sent content (texts, attachments), only the selected communication partners, but not third parties or the service provider itself, can view the message. In this respect, we recommend regularly installing updates for the service in order to ensure the encryption of the content. However, the service provider has the possibility to access the metadata of the communication. This includes the time and (depending on the setting) location of the communication as well as the device you are using.

We would like to point out that, depending on the country of domicile of the provider mentioned below, the data collected via its platform may be transmitted and processed outside the area of the European Union. In this case, there is a risk that the level of data protection prescribed by the DSGVO may not be complied with and that the enforcement of your rights may not be possible or may be difficult.

Data concerned:

• Inventory and contact data (e.g. name, telephone number, e-mail address)
• Content data (e.g. posts, photos, videos)
• Usage data (e.g. access times, web pages clicked on)
• Communication data (e.g. information about the device used, IP address).

Purpose of processing: Communication and marketing
Legal basis: If we have asked you for your consent before using the respective service, this is the legal basis, Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO. In this respect, we clarify that we will not transmit your contact data to the service provider for the first time without your consent. If we communicate with you in the context of a contract initiation or in the context of an existing contractual relationship via one of the services mentioned below, the legal basis is the fulfilment or preparation of the contract, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. In addition, we invoke our legitimate interests in fast and efficient communication and meeting the needs of our communication partners in the communication of the services mentioned below, Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO.
Possibility of objection: You can revoke the consent given to us for the use of the service mentioned below at any time. You can also object to communication via the messenger service at any time.
We use the following messenger services:

Chat software
We use chat software from the company Userlike UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Probsteigasse 44-46, 50670 Cologne, Germany.
You can use the chat like a contact form to chat with our staff in almost real time. When you start the chat, the following personal data is collected:

• Date and time of the call,
• browser type/version,
• IP address,
• operating system used,
• URL of the previously visited website,
• amount of data sent.
• And if specified: First name, last name and email address.

Depending on the course of the conversation with our staff, further personal data may be collected in the chat, which you enter. The nature of this data depends very much on your request or the problem you describe to us. The purpose of processing all of this data is to provide you with a fast and efficient means of contacting us and thus to improve our customer service.

All our staff have been and will be trained on data protection and how to handle customer data safely and confidentially. All our employees are bound to confidentiality and have accordingly signed an addendum in their employee contracts to the obligation to maintain confidentiality and to observe data protection.

By accessing the website www.influencer-city-guide.net, the chat widget is loaded in the form of a JavaScript file from AWS Cloudfront. The chat widget technically represents the source code that runs on your computer and enables the chat.

In addition, we store the chat history for a period of 4 weeks. This serves the purpose of sparing you extensive explanations about the history of your enquiry under certain circumstances as well as for the constant quality control of our chat offer. The processing is therefore permitted in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f DSGVO. If you do not wish this, you are welcome to inform us of this using the contact details below. Stored chats will then be deleted by us immediately.

The storage of chat data also serves the purpose of ensuring the security of our information technology systems. This is also our legitimate interest, which is why the processing is permissible under Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO.

Content services
We use certain services in order to be able to display certain content or graphics (videos, images, music, fonts, maps) via our website. In doing so, the services we use process the IP address assigned to you at the time of your visit to our internet pages, as this is the only way that the respective content can be displayed in the browser you are using.

The providers regularly use this data for analysis, statistical and marketing purposes. In addition, this information may also be combined with information from other sources. This applies in particular if you yourself maintain an account with the service provider and are logged in there at the time of the session.
