Privacy Statement

Last updated: November 19, 2024

The protection of your personal data is important to us. With this privacy policy, we would like to explain to you in more detail what personal data we collect and for what purposes this data is processed.

Controller and contact

The controller for purposes of processing your personal data is:

Brezuk GmbH
Konradstrasse 20
8005 Zürich
Switzerland

If you have any questions or suggestions regarding data protection or would like to exercise your rights, please feel free to contact us at the following link: https://brezuk.com/contact

You can reach our Data Protection Officer at: [email protected]

For clarity, any data processing by activity providers who offer their services on the Brezuk platform is subject to their respective privacy policies. Activity providers act as separate data controllers.

Subject of data protection

The subject of data protection is personal data, i.e. all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. Personal data is also referred to simply as data in the following.

Automated data collection

When accessing our website, your end device automatically transmits data for technical reasons. The following data is stored separately from other data that you may transmit to us:

  • URL of the page accessed
  • Latency of the network connection
  • IP address
  • Date and time

We store this data for the following purposes:

  • for load balancing, i.e. to distribute access to our website across several devices and to be able to offer you the fastest possible loading times;
  • to ensure the security of our IT systems, e.g. to defend against specific attacks on our systems and to recognise attack patterns;
  • to ensure the proper operation of our IT systems, e.g. if errors occur that we can only rectify by storing the IP address;
  • to enable criminal prosecution, averting of danger or legal prosecution in the event of specific indications of criminal offences

Your IP address is only stored for a period of 30 days.

In this case, the processing is carried out to ensure the security of the processing in accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, as well as on the basis of our legitimate interest in protecting ourselves against misuse of our service (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

The Brezuk Newsletter

Registration

  • First Name
  • Email address

Your registration data is required to send and manage the sending of our newsletter to you. In this case, you conclude a user agreement with us, on the basis of which we collect this data (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).

In order to conclude the agreement, you must provide us with this data. However, you are neither contractually nor legally obliged to conclude the agreement and thus to provide the data.

Customer support

Processing of enquiries

Customer support and other enquiries are handled entirely via email. The processor of your request is Brezuk GmbH. In this case we store the content of your enquiry as well as the email address with which the enquiry was sent. We store the data for 365 days.

Improvement of customer service

In order to continuously improve our customer service, we analyse enquiries sent to us on the basis of certain parameters and keywords. Although, as a matter of principle, no analysis is carried out on the basis of personal data, it cannot be ruled out that, in individual cases, personal data may also be processed within this context. The processing required within this context serves our legitimate interest as well as that of our customers in the continuous improvement of our customer service (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Technical service providers

We use technical service providers for hosting and some of the services required for the website. Accordingly, the processing of data takes place on the servers of these service providers. These service providers only process the data according to our explicit instructions and are obliged to guarantee sufficient technical and organisational measures for data protection. Consequently, our service providers act for us as so-called processors within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR.

Hosting of the website

For the hosting of our website, we use the services of Cloudflare Germany GmbH based in Germany. Accordingly, when you interact with our website, it is processed on Cloudflare servers.

Joining an existing sport activity

When you join a sports activity through our newsletter, we collect the data required to carry out the activity. This usually includes the following information: nickname, e-mail address and the date and time of joining.

The processing that takes place in connection with this is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. To the extent necessary, we will transfer your data to the host responsible for the activity who will process your personal data as set out in their privacy policy as an independent data controller. If a transfer to a third country outside the European Economic Area is necessary, this is based on Art. 49 para. 2 lit. b, c GDPR.

Publishing a sports activity

When you decide to post your game on out newsletter, we collect the data required to carry out the best possible matchup. This usually includes the following information: e-mail address, number of people needed for the game, exact address of your game, start time of your game, end time of your game, playing mode, gender of participants, average skill level of participants, average fitness level of participants, average age of participants, additional notes you might want to provide.

Please note that your exact location will not be displayed in our newsletter. Instead we will show an obfuscated location that typically only specifies the area or neighborhood you game is in. Only when people request joining the game and the request is granted by you, they will see the exact location.

The processing that takes place in connection with this is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. To the extent necessary, we will transfer your data to potential participants for them to decide whether they want to join an activity with you. Depending on your privacy settings, the extent of visible information may be limited.

Customer surveys and research panels

We might invite you to participate in moderated or unmoderated research panels. You might be either a Brezuk Customer or an external participant recruited independently. The participation and the video recordings of these sessions are always based on your express consent, which we collect in writing before the research activity. These research agencies act as data controllers. We invite you to participate based on our legitimate interest and we do not address you in the future in case you tell us that you are not interested.

Social Media

Instagram

Our Instagram page can be found at: https://www.instagram.com/brezuk.official

Instagram is operated by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook Ireland”). The Instagram privacy policy can be found at: https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875. In it you will also find information on the settings options for your account.

Your personal data may also be made available to other Facebook or Instagram companies. This may involve the transfer of personal data to the USA and other third countries for which there is no EU Commission adequacy decision. In this case, Facebook will use the standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission. Further information can also be found in the Instagram Privacy Policy.

In addition, as part of the operation of our Instagram page, we are jointly responsible with Facebook for the processing of so-called Instagram Insights. With the help of these Instagram Insights, Facebook analyses the behaviour on our Instagram page and provides us with this information in non-personal form. For this purpose, we have concluded a joint data protection responsibility agreement with Facebook, which you can view at the following link: https://facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum. In it, Facebook undertakes, among other things, to assume primary responsibility under the GDPR for the processing of Instagram Insights and to fulfil all obligations under the GDPR with regard to the processing of Page Insights.

For users located in the European Economic Area and Switzerland, LinkedIn is operated by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland (“LinkedIn Ireland”). You can find LinkedIn’s data protection guidelines here: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?trk=organization-guest_footer-privacy-policy. In it you will also find information on the settings options for your LinkedIn profile.

Please note that LinkedIn also transfers personal data to third countries outside the European Economic Area for which there is no EU Commission adequacy decision. Insofar as such a transfer occurs, LinkedIn will use the standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission. Corresponding information can be found at https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/62533.

Finally, we receive non-personal information and analytics from LinkedIn about the use of our account or interactions with our posts. This information allows us to analyse and optimise the effectiveness of our LinkedIn activities. The processing that takes place within this context is based on our legitimate interest in optimising our LinkedIn activities (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Social media management

In order to measure the success of our social media activities, we also record when we are tagged on social media networks. Within this context, we also process information about the people who tag us. The processing that takes place within this context is based on our legitimate interest in optimising our social media activities (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Analysis of our social media activities

We also evaluate the success of our social media postings. We analyse how often individual postings are clicked. The data processing is based on our legitimate interest in analysing our reach and the success of our social media activities.

Further sharing of data

Beyond the cases described, your personal data will only be passed on without your express prior consent in the following cases:

  • If it is necessary for the clarification of an illegal use of our services or for legal prosecution, personal data will be forwarded to the law enforcement authorities and, if necessary, to injured third parties. However, this only happens if there are specific indications of unlawful or abusive behaviour. A transfer may also take place if this serves to enforce terms of use or other agreements. We are also legally obliged to provide information to certain public authorities upon request. These are law enforcement agencies, authorities that prosecute administrative offences subject to fines and the tax authorities.

This data is disclosed on the basis of our legitimate interest in combating abuse, prosecuting criminal offences and securing, asserting and enforcing claims and provided that your rights and interests in the protection of your personal data are not overridden, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or on the basis of a legal obligation pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

  • We disclose personal data to auditors, accounting service providers, lawyers, banks, tax consultants and similar bodies insofar as this is necessary for the provision of our services (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) or the proper operation of our business (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or we are obliged to do so (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR).
  • We rely on contractually affiliated third-party companies and external service providers (“processors”) to provide the services. In such cases, personal data is passed on to these processors to enable them to continue processing. These processors are carefully selected and regularly reviewed by us to ensure that your rights and freedoms are protected. The processors may only use the data for the purposes specified by us and are also contractually obliged by us to treat your data exclusively in accordance with this privacy policy and the German data protection laws.

The transfer of data to processors takes place on the basis of Art. 28 para. 1 GDPR.

  • As part of the further development of our business, it may happen that the structure of Brezuk GmbH changes by changing the legal form, founding, buying or selling subsidiaries, parts of the company or components. In such transactions, customer information is passed on together with the part of the company to be transferred. Whenever personal information is disclosed to third parties to the extent described above, we will ensure that this is done in accordance with this privacy policy and the relevant data protection laws.

Any disclosure of personal data is justified by the fact that we have a legitimate interest in adapting our corporate form to the economic and legal circumstances as necessary (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Automated individual decisions or profiling measures

We do not use any automated processing processes to bring about a decision or profiling.

Erasure of your data

We delete or anonymise your personal data as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which we collected or used it in accordance with the above paragraphs. We also continue to retain your data if we are obliged to do so for legal reasons or if the data is needed for a longer period of time for criminal prosecution or to secure, assert or enforce legal claims.

If you unsubscribe from our newsletter, your profile will be deleted completely and permanently. However, we will retain backup copies of your data to the extent and for as long as this data is required for legal reasons or for criminal prosecution or to secure, assert or enforce legal claims.

If data must be retained for legal reasons, processing will be restricted. The data is then no longer available for further use.

Storage beyond the contractual relationship is based on our aforementioned legitimate interests according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Your rights as a data subject

You have the rights described below with regard to the processing of your personal data. To exercise your rights, you can make a request by post or by email to the address above.

You have the right to demand that we restrict processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR. This right exists in particular if the accuracy of the personal data is disputed between the user and us, for the duration that the verification of the accuracy requires, as well as in the event that the data subject requests restricted processing instead of erasure in the case of an existing right to erasure; furthermore, in the event that the data is no longer required for the purposes pursued by us, but the user requires it for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, as well as if the successful exercise of an objection is still disputed between us and the user.
