Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
1.Introduction
This website is operated by: Gothic Pogo e.V..
It is very important to us to handle the data of our website visitors with confidence and to protect them in the best possible way. For this reason, we make every effort to comply with the requirements of the GDPR.
Below we explain how we process your data on our website. We use language that is as clear and transparent as possible so that you really understand what happens to your data.
2.General information
2.1Processing of personal data and other terms
Data protection applies to the processing of personal data. Personal data means all data with which you can be personally identified. This is, for example, the IP address of the device (PC, laptop, smartphone, etc.) in front of which you are currently sitting. Such data is processed when 'something happens to it'. Here, for example, the IP is transmitted from the browser to our provider and stored there automatically. This is then a processing (according to Art. 4 No. 2 GDPR) of personal data (according to Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR).
These and other legal definitions can be found in Art. 4 GDPR.
2.2Applicable regulations/laws - GDPR, BDSG and TDDDG
The scope of data protection is regulated by laws. In this case, these are the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) as a European regulation and the BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act) as a national law.
In addition, the TDDDG supplements the provisions of the GDPR as far as the use of cookies is concerned.
2.3The person in charge
The person responsible for data processing on this website is the controller within the meaning of the GDPR. This is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
You can reach the responsible person under:
Gothic Pogo e.V.
Erich-Zeigner-Allee 53 04229 Leipzig

2.4This is how data is basically processed on this website
As we have already established, there is data (e.g. IP address) that is collected automatically. This data is mainly required for the technical provision of the website. If we also use personal data or collect other data, we will inform you of this or ask for your consent.
Other personal data you share with us consciously.
You will find more detailed information below.
2.5Yours Right
The GDPR provides you with comprehensive rights. These include, for example, free information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data. You can also request the rectification, blocking or erasure of this data or lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority. You can revoke your consent at any time.
You can find out in detail what these rights are and how to exercise them in the last section of this Privacy Policy.
2.6Data protection - Our view
Data protection is more than just a chore for us! Personal data is of great value and careful handling of this data should be a matter of course in our digitalized world. In addition, you as a website visitor should be able to decide for yourself what "happens" to your data, when and by whom. Therefore, we commit ourselves to comply with all legal requirements, collect only the data necessary for us and treat them confidentially.
2.7Disclosure and deletion
The transfer and deletion of data are also important and sensitive topics. Therefore, we would like to briefly inform you in advance about our general approach to this.
A transfer of data only takes place on the basis of a legal basis and only if this is unavoidable. This may be the case in particular if it is a so-called Data Processor and a Data Processing Agreement has been concluded in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
We delete your data when the purpose and the legal basis for processing cease to exist and the deletion is not contrary to any other legal obligations. A 'good' overview of this is also provided by Art. 17 GDPR.
For further information, please refer to this Privacy Policy and contact the responsible person if you have any specific questions.

As explained in the Meta Privacy Policy under "How do we use your information?" (Meta also collects and uses information to provide analytics services, known as Page Insights, for site operators. This also applies to our Facebook page.
Page insights are summarized statistics that are created based on certain interactions of visitors with pages and the content associated with them (e.g. viewing a page or a video, subscribing to a page, marking a page with "Like" or "No longer like", etc.) and are logged by the meta servers.

This data is anonymized. It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about specific individuals.

If you are currently logged in to Instagram as a user, a cookie with your Instagram ID is stored on your device. This enables Meta to track that you have visited this page and how you have used it. Meta buttons integrated into websites enable Meta to record your visits to these websites and assign them to your Instagram profile. This data can be used to tailor content or advertising to you.

4.This is also important
Finally, we would like to inform you in detail about your rights and how you will be informed about changes in data protection requirements.
4.1Yours Rights in detail
4.1.1Right to information according to Art. 15 GDPR
You can request information about whether your personal data is being processed. If this is the case, you can request further information about the type and manner of processing. A detailed list can be found in Art. 15 (1) a) to h) GDPR.
4.1.2Right to rectification according to Art. 16 GDPR
This right includes the correction of inaccurate data and the completion of incomplete personal data.
4.1.3Right to deletion according to Art. 17 GDPR
This so-called 'right to be forgotten' gives you the right, under certain conditions, to demand the deletion of personal data by the controller. This is generally the case if the purpose of the data processing has ceased to exist, if consent has been revoked or if the initial processing took place without a legal basis. You can find a detailed list of reasons in Art. 17 (1) lit. a to f GDPR. Furthermore, this "right to be forgotten" corresponds with the obligation of the controller under Art. 17 (2) GDPR to take appropriate measures to bring about a general erasure of the data.
4.1.4Right to restriction of processing according to Art. 18 GDPR
This right is subject to the conditions set out in Art. 18(1)(a) to (d).
4.1.5Right to data portability according to Art. 20 GDPR
Here, the basic right to receive one's own data in a common form and to transfer it to another data controller is regulated. However, this only applies to data processed on the basis of consent or a contract pursuant to Art. 20 (1) (a) and (b) and to the extent that this is technically feasible.
4.1.6Right of objection according to Art. 21 GDPR
In principle, you can object to the processing of your personal data. This applies in particular if your interest in objecting outweighs the legitimate interest of the controller in the processing and if the processing relates to direct marketing and/or profiling.
4.1.7Right to "decision in individual cases" according to Art. 22 GDPR
In principle, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (including profiling) which produces legal effects vis-à-vis you or similarly significantly affects you. However, this right is also subject to restrictions and additions in Art. 22 (2) and (4) GDPR.
4.1.8Other rights
The GDPR contains comprehensive rights to inform third parties about whether or how you have asserted rights under Art. 16, 17, 18 GDPR. However, this only applies insofar as this is possible or feasible with reasonable effort.
At this point, we would like to inform you once again of your right to withdraw your consent in accordance with Article 7 (3) of the GDPR. However, this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out up to that point.
In addition, we would like to inform you about your rights according to §§ 32 ff. BDSG, which, however, are largely congruent with the rights just described.
4.1.9Right of appeal according to Art. 77 GDPR
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes this Regulation.
5.What if tomorrow the GDPR is abolished or other changes take place?
The current status of this Privacy Policy is 12.01.2025. From time to time it is necessary to adapt the content of the Privacy Policy in order to react to actual and legal changes. We therefore reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time. We will publish the amended version in the same place and recommend that you read the Privacy Policy regularly.
