3. General Information and Mandatory Information

Data Protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Notice Concerning the Responsible Entity

The responsible entity (controller) for data processing on this website is:

Lucas Heiser
Jakob-Klar-Str. 3
80796 Munich
Germany

Phone: +49 151 44933131
Email: info@tennismeisterei.de

The responsible entity (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.).

Storage Duration

Unless a more specific storage period has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing ceases to apply. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, provided we have no other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion takes place after these reasons cease to exist.

General Information on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on this Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, provided special categories of data according to Art. 9 (1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your terminal device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on § 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for contract performance or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Furthermore, if your data is required to fulfill a legal obligation, we process it on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Information about the relevant legal bases in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business activities, we work with various external bodies. In some cases, the transfer of personal data to these external bodies is also necessary. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., sharing data with tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in doing so, or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using processors, we only transfer our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 (1) (E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 (1) GDPR).

WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 (2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Information, Rectification, and Erasure

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose and for further questions regarding personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the audit, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If the processing of your personal data occurred/is occurring unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
If you have filed an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may – with the exception of its storage – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL or TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser line.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Promotional Emails

The use of contact data published within the scope of legal notice obligations for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of promotional information, such as spam emails.

4. Data Collection on this Website

Cookies

Our internet pages use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your terminal device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your terminal device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser performs an automatic deletion.

Cookies may come from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within web pages (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies was requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG); the consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Deactivating cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.

If further cookies and services are used on this website, you can find out about them in this privacy policy.

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is required to implement pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Use of AI on the Website

We use AI-powered services and/or applications on our website.

We use Artificial Intelligence (AI) on our website as follows:

We use Intercom's AI-powered chat assistant on our website, which answers questions from visitors regarding our tennis training (e.g., about courses, training times, and booking) automatically and around the clock. For this purpose, Intercom uses the content of our website as well as current information from our training schedule and public weather data.

When you interact or come into contact with elements on our website where artificial intelligence is used (e.g., chatbot), your entries including metadata are processed to generate an appropriate response or reaction.

The use of these AI-powered features is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in using modern technologies on our website to improve our services and offerings and to identify new potential from interacting with our customers. If consent is required, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG. You can revoke your consent at any time.

For further information on data processing by this tool or service, please refer to the relevant section in this privacy policy.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Answer Customer Inquiries

We use AI-powered software to process and respond to customer inquiries. In doing so, the AI we use analyzes the content of your message to autonomously or semi-autonomously generate a suitable answer or suggested answer. In this context, our AI processes all content of your message, including names, email addresses, communication content, or technical information (e.g., IP addresses, device information).

The AI software is used on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in making customer communication as efficient as possible using modern technical solutions.

We use the following AI applications:

Intercom

We use Intercom for our customer communications. The provider is Intercom R&D Unlimited Company, 124 St Stephen's Green, Dublin 2, DC02 C628, Republic of Ireland. When you contact us, your inquiries including metadata can therefore be transmitted to this provider's servers and processed there in order to generate a suitable response.

Data Processing Agreement

Inquiries by Email, Telephone, or Fax

If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is required to perform pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data sent by you to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Communication via WhatsApp

For communication with our customers and other third parties, we use, among other things, the instant messaging service WhatsApp. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland.

Communication takes place via end-to-end encryption (peer-to-peer), which prevents WhatsApp or other third parties from gaining access to the content of communications. However, WhatsApp gains access to metadata generated during the communication process (e.g., sender, recipient, and time). Furthermore, we point out that, according to WhatsApp, it shares personal data of its users with its parent company Meta, based in the USA. For further details on data processing, please refer to WhatsApp's privacy policy at: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy.

The use of WhatsApp is based on our legitimate interest in communicating with customers, interested parties, and other business and contractual partners as quickly and effectively as possible (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). If appropriate consent was obtained, data processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent; this can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

The communication content exchanged between you and us on WhatsApp remains with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

The company is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards during data processing operations in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF undertakes to adhere to these data protection standards. For more information, please contact the provider at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/7735.

We use WhatsApp in the “WhatsApp Business” version.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/business-data-transfer-addendum.

We have configured our WhatsApp accounts so that there is no automatic data synchronization with the address book on the smartphones in use.

We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with the provider named above.

Use of Chatbots

We use chatbots to communicate with you. Chatbots are able to respond to your questions and other entries without human assistance. To do this, in addition to your inputs, chatbots analyze other data to provide suitable responses (e.g., names, email addresses, and other contact details, customer numbers and other identifiers, orders, and chat histories). In addition, your IP address, log files, location information, and other metadata can be collected via the chatbot. This data is stored on the servers of the chatbot provider.

User profiles can be created based on the collected data. In addition, the data can be used to display interest-based advertising, provided the other legal requirements (in particular consent) are met. For this purpose, the chatbots can be linked to analysis and advertising tools.

The collected data can also be used to improve our chatbots and their response behavior (machine learning).

The data entered by you during communication remains with us or the chatbot operator until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

The legal basis for using chatbots is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if the chatbot is used to initiate or fulfill a contract. If corresponding consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, to the extent that the consent encompasses the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's terminal device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. In all other cases, it is used on the basis of our legitimate interest in effective customer communication (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Use of AI Applications within Chatbot Communication

Our chatbots use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in customer communications. In doing so, the AI we use analyzes the content of your message to autonomously generate a suitable response. In this context, the AI processes all content of your message, including names, email addresses, communication content, or technical information (e.g., IP addresses, device information).

The AI software is used on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in customer communication that is as efficient as possible using modern technical solutions. If corresponding consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

We integrate the following AI applications into our chatbots:

Intercom

Our chatbots use Intercom for our customer communications. The provider is Intercom R&D Unlimited Company, 124 St Stephen's Green, Dublin 2, DC02 C628, Republic of Ireland. Therefore, if you contact us via chatbot, your inquiries including metadata may be transmitted to the provider's servers and processed there in order to generate a suitable response.

Data Processing Agreement

5. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and agree to receive the newsletter. We use this data to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties. In the context of newsletter campaigns, we may analyze various data (e.g., opening time, IP address, device information, clicked links, and any subsequent actions).

The processing of the data entered into the newsletter registration form takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke the consent granted to store the data, the email address, and its 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 revocation.

The data you have stored with us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after unsubscribing or after the purpose ceases to apply. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the framework of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Data stored with us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored on a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider, if necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Storage on the blacklist is indefinite in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

6. Plugins and Tools

Google Fonts

This site uses so-called Google Fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When a page is opened, your browser loads the required fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you use must establish a connection to Google's servers. This gives Google knowledge that this website was accessed via your IP address. Google Fonts are used on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the uniform presentation of the typeface on its website. If corresponding consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, to the extent that the consent encompasses the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

If your browser does not support Google Fonts, a default font from your computer will be used.

Further information on Google Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

OpenStreetMap

We use the map service OpenStreetMap (OSM).

We embed the map material from OpenStreetMap on the server of the OpenStreetMap Foundation, St John’s Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WS, Great Britain. Great Britain is considered a safe third country under data protection law. This means that Great Britain provides a level of data protection that corresponds to the level of data protection in the European Union. When using OpenStreetMap maps, a connection is established to the servers of the OpenStreetMap Foundation. In doing so, among other things, your IP address and other information about your behavior on this website may be forwarded to the OSMF. Under certain circumstances, OpenStreetMap stores cookies in your browser or uses comparable recognition technologies for this purpose.

The use of OpenStreetMap is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings and easy findability of the locations indicated by us on the website. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If corresponding consent was requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, to the extent that the consent encompasses the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

7. Our Own Services

Handling Applicant Data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, by post, or via the online application form). Below we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data takes place in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection

If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to make a decision on establishing an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (general contract initiation), and – if you have given consent – Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be passed on to persons involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR for the purpose of executing the employment relationship.

As part of the application process, we may also conduct an Internet search regarding your person. This mainly includes Google search, LinkedIn, and Xing. The legal basis for this type of processing is our legitimate interest in obtaining an overall picture from publicly available information in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Data Retention Period

If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer, or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you transmitted based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the conclusion of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). Afterwards, the data will be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. Storage serves in particular for evidence purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g., due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place once the purpose for further storage ceases to apply.

Longer storage may also take place if you have given corresponding consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) or if statutory retention requirements prevent deletion.
