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

In the event that data are processed on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1
lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to at any time object to the
processing of your personal data based on grounds arising from your
unique situation. This also applies to any profiling based on these
provisions. To determine the legal basis, on which any processing of
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.
This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is affiliated with
such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will
subsequently no longer be used for direct advertising purposes

2.5 Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right
to at any time demand information about your archived personal data, their
source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your

Law.” The right to demand restriction of processing applies in the

In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data
archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this
claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have
the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your
personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an
unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of
the processing of your data in lieu of demanding the eradication of
this data.
If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to
exercise, defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to
demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data
instead of its eradication.
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.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data –
with the exception of their archiving – may be processed only subject to
your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to
protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for
important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member
state of the EU.

2.9 SSL and/or TLS encryption

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
the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and
also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.

If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot
be read by third parties.

3. Recording of data on our website

3.1 Cookies

In some instances, our website and its pages use so-called cookies. Cookies
do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. The
purpose of cookies is to make our website more user friendly, effective and
more secure. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer
and stored by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are

only in specific cases or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific
situations or in general and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies
when you close your browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functions of
this website may be limited.

Cookies that are required for the performance of the electronic
communications transaction or to provide certain functions you want to use
(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
cookies to ensure the technically error free and optimised provision of the
operator’s services. If other cookies (e.g. cookies for the analysis of
your browsing patterns) should be stored, they are addressed separately in

free depiction and the optimization of the operator’s website. In order to
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

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.

The basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. b GDPR, which
permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or for
pre-contractual actions.

3.5 Registration of a member account

execution of the contractual relationship. In addition, we process your

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.

6 months after the conclusion of the application process (retention period)

public bodies or institutions (authorities, for example in the context of

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,

processing is permitted in accordance with the relevant statutory
provisions. We also delete your personal data if we are obliged to do so

information without undue delay – after elimination of the legal and unless
otherwise provided for by law (such as commercial and fiscal retention
periods). If the latter is true, we will delete the data after elimination
