If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR):

3. contact form

When you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, the data you provide (your e-mail address, possibly your name and telephone number) will be stored by us in order to answer your questions. We delete the data arising in this context after storage is no longer required, or restrict processing if there are statutory retention obligations.

4. user account / profile

In order to upload spots, you must register by entering your e-mail address, a password of your choice and a user name of your choice. There is no obligation to use a clear name; pseudonymous use is possible. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for registration, i.e. your registration is not complete until you have confirmed your registration by clicking on the link contained in a confirmation e-mail sent to you for this purpose. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your registration will be automatically deleted from our database.

If you register a user account, we will store all the information you enter in the portal, i.e. public comments, uploaded spots, etc., in order to operate the forum until you log out. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

If you delete your user account, your public comments, especially spots, will remain visible to all users, but your account will no longer be accessible and will be marked with your pseudonym in the portal. All other data will be deleted. If you would like your public posts to be deleted as well, please contact the person responsible using the contact details provided above.

5. public contributions

When using the website via a user account, you can publish contributions (entries with text or images) in accordance with the terms of use agreed when registering the user account. Your contribution will then be published under your chosen pseudonym.

If you submit a contribution, we will continue to store your IP address, which we will delete after one week. This storage is necessary for us to be able to defend ourselves against liability claims in the event of possible publication of unlawful content. We need your e-mail address in order to contact you if a third party objects to your comment as unlawful. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b and f GDPR. Comments are not checked before publication. We reserve the right to delete comments if they are objected to as unlawful by third parties.
