Privacy Policy

We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a
particularly high priority for the management of the NTERNATIONAL BUBBLE FOOTBALL
ASSOCIATION. The use of the Internet pages of the NTERNATIONAL BUBBLE FOOTBALL
ASSOCIATION is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants
to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become
necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such
processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone
number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the
NTERNATIONAL BUBBLE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION. By means of this data protection
declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and
purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are
informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.

As the controller, the NTERNATIONAL BUBBLE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION has implemented
numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of
personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in
principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every
data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

1. Definitions

The data protection declaration of the NTERNATIONAL BUBBLE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION
is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and
understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure
this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.

In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the following terms:

  • a) Personal data

    Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person
    (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in
    particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an
    online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental,
    economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

  • b) Data subject

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

  • c) Processing

    Processing is 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.

  • d) Restriction of processing

    Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their
    processing in the future.

  • e) Profiling

    Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of
    personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to
    analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic
    situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

  • f) Pseudonymisation

    Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner 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.

  • g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing

    Controller or controller responsible for the processing is 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 its nomination
    may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

  • h) Processor

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

  • i) Recipient

    Recipient is 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; the processing of those data by those public
    authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the
    purposes of the processing.

  • j) Third party

    Third party is 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

    Consent of the data subject is 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.

3. Collection of general data and information

The website of the NTERNATIONAL BUBBLE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION collects a series of
general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This
general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (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 referrers), (4) the sub-websites,
(5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address),
(7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and
information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, the NTERNATIONAL BUBBLE FOOTBALL
ASSOCIATION does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is
needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as
well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems
and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information
necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the NTERNATIONAL
BUBBLE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION analyzes anonymously collected data and information
statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and
to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. 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 the NTERNATIONAL BUBBLE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION contains information
that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, 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 by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the
data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a
data subject to the data controller 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 erasure and blocking of personal data

The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the
period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European
legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.

If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European
legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or
erased in accordance with legal requirements.

6. Rights of the data subject

  • a) Right of confirmation

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the
    controller the confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being
    processed. If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of confirmation, he or she may, at
    any time, contact any employee of the controller.

  • b) Right of access

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the
    controller free information about his or her personal data stored at any time and a copy of this

    • the recipients or categories of recipients 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

      (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as
      well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

    Furthermore, the data subject shall have a right to obtain information as to whether personal
    data are transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case,
    the data subject shall have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the
    transfer.

    If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of access, he or she may, at any time,
    contact any employee of the controller.

  • c) Right to rectification

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the
    controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her.

    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, at any time, contact
    any employee of the controller.

  • d) Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the
    controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, and the
    controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the
    following grounds applies, as long as the processing is not necessary:

    • The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were
      collected or otherwise processed.
    • The data subject withdraws consent to which the processing is based according to point (a) of
      Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other legal
      ground for the processing.
    • The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 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 Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
    • The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
    • The personal data must 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) of the GDPR.

    If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure

    may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. An employee of NTERNATIONAL
    BUBBLE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied
    with immediately.

    Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) to
    erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of
    implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other
    controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such
    controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not
    required. An employees of the NTERNATIONAL BUBBLE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION will arrange
    the necessary measures in individual cases.

  • e) Right of restriction of processing

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator 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 instead 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) of the GDPR pending the
      verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

    restriction of the processing of personal data stored by the NTERNATIONAL BUBBLE FOOTBALL
    ASSOCIATION, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee
    of the NTERNATIONAL BUBBLE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION will arrange the restriction of the
    processing.

  • f) Right to data portability

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator, to receive the
    personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly
    used and machine-readable format. 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, as
    long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or
    point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the
    GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long 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.

    Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the
    GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one
    controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the
    rights and freedoms of others.

    In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any
    employee of the NTERNATIONAL BUBBLE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION.

  • g) Right to object

    Each data subject shall have 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 point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling
    based on these provisions.

    The NTERNATIONAL BUBBLE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION shall no longer process the
    personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate
    grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or
    for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

    If the NTERNATIONAL BUBBLE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION processes personal data for
    direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing
    of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent
    that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to the NTERNATIONAL
    BUBBLE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the
    NTERNATIONAL BUBBLE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION will no longer process the personal data for
    these purposes.

    In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation,
    to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by the NTERNATIONAL BUBBLE
    FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes
    pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a
    task carried out for reasons of public interest.

    In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of the
    NTERNATIONAL BUBBLE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION. In addition, the data subject is free in the
    context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to
    use his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

  • h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

    Each data subject shall have 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, as long as the decision (1) is not
    is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a
    data controller, or (2) is not 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 and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

    If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the
    data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, the
    NTERNATIONAL BUBBLE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION shall implement suitable measures to
    safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to
    obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and
    contest the decision.

    If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decisionmaking,
    he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the NTERNATIONAL BUBBLE

    time, contact any employee of the NTERNATIONAL BUBBLE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION.

7. Data protection provisions about the application and use of YouTube

On this website, the controller has integrated components of YouTube. YouTube is an Internet
video portal that enables video publishers to set video clips and other users free of charge, which
also provides free viewing, review and commenting on them. YouTube allows you to publish all
kinds of videos, so you can access both full movies and TV broadcasts, as well as music videos,
trailers, and videos made by users via the Internet portal.

The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066,
UNITED STATES. The YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy,
Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the
controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) was integrated, the Internet
browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to
download a display of the corresponding YouTube component. Further information about YouTube
may be obtained under https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/en/. During the course of this technical
procedure, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was
visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in on YouTube, YouTube recognizes with each call-up to a subpage
that contains a YouTube video, which specific sub-page of our Internet site was visited by the
data subject. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective
YouTube account of the data subject.

YouTube and Google will receive information through the YouTube component that the data
subject has visited our website, if the data subject at the time of the call to our website is logged in
on YouTube; this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on a YouTube video or not. If such
a transmission of this information to YouTube and Google is not desirable for the data subject, the
delivery may be prevented if the data subject logs off from their own YouTube account before a
call-up to our website is made.

YouTube’s data protection provisions, available at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/
privacy/, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube
and Google.

8. Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves 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, as is the case, for example, when
processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the
processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations
which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries
concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which
processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing
is based on Art. 6(1) lit. 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, for example, if a visitor were
injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would
have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based
on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used
for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if
processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by
a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and
freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing
operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the
European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject
is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

9. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate
interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the
shareholders.

10. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory
retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long
as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

11. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement
necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data;
possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or
can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).
Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with
personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example,
obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The
non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data
subject could not be concluded.
Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee.
The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by
law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to
provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

12. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
