The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations, as well as with this privacy policy.
Different personal data is collected when you use this website. Personal data is data which allows you to be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purposes this is done.

Telephone: +49 221 / 49 82 6115
E-Mail: esport@dshs-koeln.de
The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw the consent already granted on a previous occasion at any time. To do so, addressing an informal email to us is sufficient. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of data processing which was carried out based on consent before its withdrawal.
When data processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6(1) point (e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time based on grounds which relate to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. You can find the respective legal basis on which data is processed within this privacy policy. If you file an objection, we will no longer process your personal data which is affected by this, unless we are able to demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves the purposes of the establishment, exercising or defence of legal claims (objection according to Art. 21(1) GDPR).
Should your personal data be processed for the purposes of direct marketing, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes at any time; this also applies to profiling insofar as this is associated with such direct marketing. If you file an objection, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purposes of direct marketing (objection according to Art. 21(2) GDPR).
In the case of violations of the GDPR, the data subject is entitled to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their regular residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
You have the right to have data we process automatically on the basis of your consent, or for the fulfilment of a contract, delivered to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. Insofar as you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out insofar as it is technically feasible.
For security reasons and in order to protect the transmission of confidential content which you send to us as the website operator, such as orders or enquiries, this website uses SSL and/or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the address line in the browser changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in the browser line.
When the SSL and/or TLS encryption is activated, the data which you transmit to us cannot be accessed by third parties.
Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right of free access to information regarding your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, the right to the rectification, blocking or erasure of this data at any time. You can contact us with regards to questions concerning personal data at any time at the address provided in the imprint.
You have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do so, you can contact us at any time at the address provided in the imprint. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
Where you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such personal data may, with the exception of their storage, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercising or defence of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a member state.
Some of the web pages make use of so-called ‘cookies’. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer, nor do they contain any viruses. Cookies serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files which are placed on your computer and saved by your browser.
The majority of cookies we use are so-called ‘session cookies’. These are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Other cookies remain on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser upon your next visit.
You can set your browser to inform you when cookies are being placed and to only allow cookies on a case-by-case basis, to refuse cookies in certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close the browser. The functionality of this website may be restricted if you deactivate cookies.
Cookies that are required for the carrying out of the electronic communication process or for the provision of certain features requested by you (e.g. the shopping cart feature) are saved on the basis of Art. 6(1) point (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the saving of cookies for the technically smooth and optimised provision of their services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies used to analyse your surfing behaviour) are saved, these will be dealt with separately within this privacy policy.
The website provider automatically collects and saves information in so-called ‘server log files’ which your browser automatically sends to us. This includes:
This data is not merged with other data sources.
The collection of this data takes place on the basis of Art. 6(1) point (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free display and optimisation of its website – it is for this purpose that the server log files must be saved and retained.
If you send us enquiries using the contact form, we will store your data from the enquiry form, including the contact data specified there by you, for the purposes of processing the enquiry and in case any follow-up questions arise. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
This means that the data which you have entered in the contact form will only be processed based on your consent (Art. 6(1) point (a) GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time. To do so, addressing an informal email to us is sufficient. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of data processing operations which were carried out based on consent before its withdrawal.
The data which you have entered in the contact form will remain with us until you ask for it to be erased, until you withdraw your consent to its storage, or until the purpose for the data storage expires (e.g. after the completed processing of your enquiry). Imperative legal provisions—retention periods in particular—shall remain unaffected.
This website makes use of functions from the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses so-called ‘cookies’. These are text files which are saved on your computer and which enable an analysis of how you use the website. The information regarding your use of this website generated by the cookie is generally transferred to one of Google’s servers in the USA, where it is saved.

IP anonymisation
We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. This means that your IP address is abbreviated by Google within European Union member states or other states which are part of the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the US. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide other services related to the use of the website and of the internet to the website operator. IP addresses which Google Analytics transmits from your browser will not be merged with other data of Google.

For the uniform display of fonts, this website makes use of so-called ‘web fonts’ from Google. These Google fonts are installed locally. This does not involve a connection to Google’s servers.
We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on our website. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).
The aim of reCAPTCHA is to check whether the data entry on our website (e.g. in a contact form) is made by a person or by an automated program. In order to do so, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the visitor to the website based on different characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the visitor to the website enters the website. reCAPTCHA evaluates various pieces of information as part of its analysis (e.g. IP address, the duration of the visit to the website or the mouse movements carried out by the user). The data collected during this analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses take place completely in the background. Visitors to the website are not made aware of the fact that an analysis is taking place.
The processing of data takes place on the basis of Art. 6(1) point (f) GDPR. The website provider has a legitimate interest in protecting its website against disallowed automated spying and SPAM.
You can find out more information on Google reCAPTCHA, as well as Google’s privacy policy, at the following links: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de und https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html.
