We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection has a particularly high priority for the management of Berliner Camping Club e.V. The use of the websites of Berliner Camping Club e.V. is basically possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Berliner Camping Club e.V. With this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.

Berliner Camping Club e.V., as the controller responsible for processing, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible for the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the context of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union law or the law of the Member States are not regarded as recipients.

j) 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.

k) Consent

3. Collection of general data and information

The website of Berliner Camping Club e.V. collects a series of general data and information with each call of the website by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following data can be collected: (1) types and versions of browsers 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 which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve the purpose of safeguarding against attacks on our information technology systems.

Rather, this information is needed to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) optimise the content of our website as well as the advertising for it, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. These anonymously collected data and information are evaluated by Berliner Camping Club e.V., on the one hand, statistically and, on the other hand, with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

4. Contact possibility via the website

The website of Berliner Camping Club e.V. contains information due to legal regulations that enable a quick electronic contact to our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller responsible for processing by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted to the controller responsible for processing on a voluntary basis by a data subject are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

5. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller responsible for processing processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or if this is provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller responsible for processing is subject.

If the storage purpose ceases to apply or a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

6. Rights of the data subject

a) Right to confirmation
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to demand from the controller responsible for processing confirmation as to whether personal data concerning him or her are being processed.

Furthermore, the data subject has a right of access to whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, he or she may contact any employee of the controller responsible for processing at any time.

c) Right to rectification
Every data subject whose personal data are processed has the right granted by the European legislator to demand the immediate correction of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to demand the completion of incomplete personal data, taking into account the purposes of the processing, including by means of providing a supplementary statement. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may contact any employee of the controller responsible for processing at any time.

d) Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)
Every data subject whose personal data are processed has the right granted by the European legislator to demand that the controller responsible for processing erase personal data concerning him or her without delay, if one of the following reasons applies and the processing is not necessary:
– The personal data have been collected or otherwise processed for such purposes for which they are no longer necessary.

– The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) of the GDPR.
– The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
– The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union law to which the controller is subject.
– The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services pursuant to Art. 8(1) of the GDPR.

If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Berliner Camping Club e.V., he or she may contact any employee of the controller responsible for processing at any time. The employee of Berliner Camping Club e.V. will arrange for the erasure request to be complied with without delay. If the personal data have been made public by Berliner Camping Club e.V. and our company is obliged to erase the personal data pursuant to Art. 17(1) of the GDPR, Berliner Camping Club e.V. shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform other controllers who process the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure of all links to those personal data or copies or replications of those personal data, unless processing is necessary. The employee of Berliner Camping Club e.V. will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

e) Right to restriction of processing

If one of the above applies and a data subject wishes to request restriction of personal data stored by Berliner Camping Club e.V., he or she may contact any employee of the controller responsible for processing at any time. The employee of Berliner Camping Club e.V. will arrange the restriction of processing.

f) Right to data portability
Every data subject whose personal data are processed has the right granted by the European legislator 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. He or she also has the right to have those data transmitted to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR and is carried out by automated means, unless processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, when exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20(1) of the GDPR, to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and unless this adversely affects the rights and freedoms of others. A data subject may contact any employee of Berliner Camping Club e.V. at any time for the exercise of the right to data portability.

g) Right to object
Every data subject whose personal data are processed has the right granted by the European legislator 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 Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, including profiling to the extent that it is related to such processing. This also applies to processing for direct marketing purposes. If the data subject objects to processing for direct marketing purposes by Berliner Camping Club e.V., the latter will no longer process the personal data for such purposes. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to object to processing of personal data for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) of the GDPR unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest. A data subject may directly contact any employee of Berliner Camping Club e.V. or another employee to exercise the right to object. The data subject shall also be free to exercise his or her right to object in connection with the use of information society services, regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC, by automated means using technical specifications.

h) Automated individual decision-making including profiling
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms, or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent. If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, Berliner Camping Club e.V. shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision. If a data subject wishes to assert rights in relation to automated decisions, he or she may contact any employee of the controller responsible for processing at any time.

i) Right to revoke data protection consent
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to revoke his or her consent to processing of personal data at any time. If a data subject wishes to exercise his or her right to revoke consent, he or she may contact any employee of the controller responsible for processing at any time.

7. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, such as processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or benefit, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, such as to fulfil tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were injured and his or her name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. In this case, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations may be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. This legal basis covers processing operations that are not covered by any of the preceding legal bases, if the processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests. Such processing operations are particularly permitted because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He 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).

8. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

9. Duration for which the personal data are stored

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data are routinely deleted, provided they are no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of the contract.

10. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly prescribed by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contracting party). Sometimes it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data which must then be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide personal data would result in the contract not being concluded with the data subject. Before providing personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is prescribed by law or contractually required or necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what consequences the failure to provide the personal data would have.

11. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we refrain from automated decision-making or profiling.
