for the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).
2.3 Consent to data processing and revocation
If you have given your consent for specific purposes, the purposes are
based on the respective contents of this consent. Data processing is based
on Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. In cases where you need to provide data for
this, we explicitly point out. Without the provision, we could not comply
with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time without

lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to at any time object to the

unique situation. This also applies to any profiling based on these

data is based, please consult this Data Protection Declaration. If you
log an objection, we will no longer process your affected personal
data, unless we are in a position to present compelling protection
worthy grounds for the processing of your data, that outweigh your
interests, rights and freedoms or if the purpose of the processing is
the claiming, exercising or defence of legal entitlements (objection
pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR).
If your personal data is being processed in order to engage in direct
advertising, you have the right to at any time object to the processing
of your affected personal data for the purposes of such advertising.

(objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 2 GDPR).
2.5 Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency

controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential
content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the
website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption
programme. You can recognise an encrypted connection by checking whether

(e.g. the shopping cart function), are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Sect.
1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing

achieve this, server log files must be recorded.

We collect, process and use personal data only insofar as they are
necessary for the establishment, content or modification of the legal
relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1
lit. b DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or
pre-contractual measures. We collect, process and use personal data on the
use of our website (usage data) only insofar as this is necessary in order
to enable or bill the user for the use of the service.
The collected customer data will be deleted after completion of the order
or termination of the business relationship. Legal retention periods remain
unaffected.
3.4 Data transfer upon closing of contracts for services and digital
content
We share personal data with third parties only if this is necessary in
conjunction with the handling of the contract; for instance, with the
financial institution tasked with the processing of payments.
Any further transfer of data shall not occur or shall only occur if you
have expressly consented to the transfer. Any sharing of your data with
third parties in the absence of your express consent, for instance for
advertising purposes, shall not occur.

permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or for
pre-contractual actions.

You can apply for membership on our website or sign up for a user account
that will allow you to take full advantage of the BORN IN FLACHT app. In this
context, please also note the Privacy Policy applicable to the use of the
app under
https://born-in-flacht.com/privacy-policy-app/
The mandatory information requested during registration must be given in
full. Otherwise we will reject the registration.
Mandatory data at registration
When registering to create a profile, the following mandatory information
is requested:
As well as information about your vehicle
Without the specification of this mandatory data registration is not
possible. We process these data on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. b GDPR
for the implementation of pre-contractual measures and later for the
execution of the contractual relationship. In addition, we process your
data on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a
GDPR.
For important changes, such as the scope of the offer or for technical
changes, we use the e-mail address provided during registration to inform
you in this way.
The data collected during registration will be stored by us as long as you
maintain your membership account. Legal retention periods remain
unaffected.
Verification of your member account
BORN IN FLACHT is a community for the owners of GT sports cars. For
a prospective customer there is the possibility to be verified by the
transmission of the VIN of his vehicle. Verified users have access to
special and rich features of the app.
During the verification process, it is checked whether the transmitted VIN
is a GT vehicle. The VIN number is stored in the
user’s profile, but not published. The verification is voluntary. However,
if you do not do this, not all features of the app will be fully available
to you. The data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. b GDPR,
in order to provide you with the requested services in this context and to
carry out the associated contractual relationship with you.
3.6 Request by e-mail, telephone or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all
resulting personal data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us
for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass these data on
without your consent.
The processing of these data is based on Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. b GDPR, if
your request is related to the execution of a contract or if it is
necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the
processing is based on your consent (Article 6 (1) a GDPR) and/or on our
legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR), since we have a legitimate
interest in the effective processing of requests addressed to us.
The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you
request us to delete, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for
the data storage lapses (e.g. after completion of your request). Mandatory
statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain
unaffected.

To do this, the browser you use must connect to Google’s servers. As a
result, Google learns that our website has been accessed via your IP
address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a consistent and

legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font will be used by
your computer.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The
legitimate interest consists in a faultless function of the website.

data, incl. any physically submitted application documents for a maximum of
6 months after the conclusion of the application process (retention period)

legal grounds exist to continue to store the data. If it should be
foreseeable that the retention of your data will be necessary after the

fulfill our tasks, we always observe the data protection regulations, in
particular, they only pass on the conclusion of contracts for order
processing.

processing is not located in a Member State of the European Union or in
another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area,

otherwise provided for by law (such as commercial and fiscal retention
periods). If the latter is true, we will delete the data after elimination
of the other legal basis. – if they are no longer necessary for the
purposes we have set for the preparation and execution of a contract or
legitimate interests and no other legal basis (such as commercial and tax
retention periods) intervenes. If the latter is true, we will delete the
data after elimination of the other legal basis. – if the purpose of the
acquisition pursued by us ceases and no other legal basis (for example,
commercial and tax retention periods) intervenes. If the latter is true, we
will delete the data after elimination of the other legal basis.

• If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.
