Your Rights as a Data Subject
First, we would like to inform you about your rights as a data subject. These rights are regulated in Articles 15-22 of the DS-GVO. This includes:
• The right to information (Article 15 DS-GVO)
• The right to erasure (Article 17 DS-GVO)
• The right to rectification (Article 16 DS-GVO)
• The right to data portability (Article 20 DS-GVO)
• The right to restriction of processing (Article 18 DS-GVO)
• The right to object to processing (Article 21 DS-GVO).
​
To exercise these rights, please contact: privacy@global-sports-group.com. The same applies if you have any questions about data processing in our company or if you wish to revoke consent given. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
​
Right to Object
Please note the following regarding the right to object:
If we process your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object to this data processing at any time without giving reasons. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to direct marketing.
​
If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes. The objection is free of charge and can be made informally, preferably to: privacy@global-sports-group.com.
​
In the event that we process your data to protect legitimate interests, you can object to this processing at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
​
We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
​
Purposes and Legal Bases of Data Processing
When processing your personal data, we comply with the provisions of the DS-GVO and all other applicable data protection regulations. Legal bases for data processing arise in particular from Article 6 DS-GVO.
​
We use your data for initiating business relationships, fulfilling contractual and legal obligations, performing the contractual relationship, offering products and services, and strengthening customer relationships, which may also include analyses for marketing purposes and direct advertising.
​
Your consent to data processing may also constitute a legal permission regulation. Before giving consent, we will inform you about the purpose of data processing and your right to revoke consent.
​
If the consent also relates to the processing of special categories of personal data, we will expressly point this out in the consent. Processing of special categories of personal data in accordance with Article 9 DS-GVO otherwise only occurs if this is required by legal regulations.
​
Disclosure to Third Parties
We will only disclose your data within the framework of legal provisions or with your corresponding consent. Otherwise, data will not be disclosed to third parties unless we are obliged to do so by mandatory legal regulations (disclosure to external authorities such as supervisory authorities or law enforcement agencies).
​
Recipients of Data / Categories of Recipients
Within our company, we ensure that only those persons receive your data who require it to fulfill contractual and legal obligations.
​
In certain cases, service providers support our departments in fulfilling their tasks. The necessary data protection contracts have been concluded with all service providers. This applies in particular to IT service providers.
​
Transfer to Third Countries / Intention to Transfer to Third Countries
Data transfers to third countries (outside the European Union or the European Economic Area) only occur if this is necessary for the performance of the contractual relationship, legally required, or if you have given us your consent.
​
We transmit your personal data to (a) service provider(s) or to group companies outside the European Economic Area, namely in Serbia. Compliance with the level of data protection is ensured through internal corporate data protection regulations.
​
Data Storage Period
We store your data for as long as it is necessary for the respective processing purpose. Please note that numerous retention periods require that data be stored (must be). This applies in particular to commercial or tax retention obligations (e.g. Handelsgesetzbuch, Abgabenordnung, etc.). If there are no further retention obligations, the data will be routinely deleted after the purpose has been achieved.
​
In addition, we may retain data if you have given us permission to do so or if legal disputes arise and we use evidence within the framework of statutory limitation periods, which can be up to thirty years; the regular limitation period is three years.
​
Secure Transmission of Your Data
To protect the data stored with us as best as possible against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, or access by unauthorized persons, we use appropriate technical and organizational security measures. The security levels are continuously checked and adapted to new security standards in cooperation with security experts.
​
Data exchange to and from our website takes place in encrypted form. As a transmission protocol, we offer HTTPS for our website, each using the latest encryption protocols. In addition, there is the option to use alternative communication channels (e.g., postal mail).
​
Obligation to Provide Data
Various personal data are necessary for the establishment, execution, and termination of the contractual relationship and for the fulfillment of the associated contractual and legal obligations. The same applies to the use of our website and the various functions it provides.
​
We have summarized details for you in the above point. In certain cases, data must also be collected or provided due to legal provisions. Please note that processing of your request or execution of the underlying contractual relationship is not possible without providing this data.
​
Categories, Sources, and Origin of Data
The data we process depends on the respective context: This depends on whether you, for example, place an order online, enter an inquiry in our contact form, send us an application, or submit a complaint.

• For reasons of technical security (especially to defend against attempted attacks on our web server), this data is stored in accordance with Article 6 (1) lit. f DS-GVO. Anonymization by shortening the IP address takes place after a maximum of 7 days, so that no reference to the user is established.
​
Cookies (Article 6 (1) lit. a, f DS-GVO, § 25 (1), 2 TTDSG)
Our website uses so-called cookies. They serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device by your browser (locally). Cookies only contain pseudonymous, mostly even anonymous data. Some cookies remain on your device for the duration of a browser session (session cookies), others are stored for a longer period (persistent cookies, e.g., consent settings). The latter are automatically deleted after the specified time (usually 6 months). In addition to our own cookies, those controlled by third-party providers are also used. These use the information contained in the cookies to display content to you or to record the pages you visit.
​
Due to our legitimate interest (Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f DS-GVO), we use technically necessary cookies that are essential for the operation of the website and to ensure its functionality. Furthermore, we use cookies without your consent, insofar as their sole purpose is to store or access information stored on your terminal device for the purpose of transmitting messages or they are absolutely necessary to provide the service expressly requested by you, § 25 (2) TTDSG.
​
Subject to your consent, additional cookies are used that enable us or third parties to analyze how our services are used, for example. This allows us to tailor content to user needs. In addition, we have the option to measure the effectiveness of a specific advertisement and to place it based on user interests. The legal basis for this is your express consent (Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a DS-GVO, § 25 (1) TTDSG).
​
You can revoke your consent via our consent banner at any time with effect for the future and change the cookie settings. Please note that changes must be made separately for each device.
​
If you maintain accounts with the third-party providers we use and are logged in there, your data may be linked to the respective account. You can avoid such aggregation by not giving or revoking your consent to the relevant cookies or by logging out of the respective third-party providers in advance.
​
Most browsers accept cookies automatically. You can also manually deactivate, restrict, or delete cookies on your device using the settings in your browser or with software support. If you deactivate the setting of cookies, full use of our website is not or only restrictedly possible.
​
Please also note our information in the section of the respective service that uses cookies.
​
Advertising Purposes for Existing Customers (Article 6 (1) lit. f DS-GVO)
​
Global Sports Group GmbH is interested in maintaining the customer relationship with you and providing you with information and offers about our products (specify advertising purposes). Therefore, we process your data to send you corresponding information and offers by email.
​
If you do not wish this, you can object to the use of your personal data for the purpose of direct advertising at any time; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to direct advertising. If you object, we will no longer process your data for this purpose.
​
The objection can be made free of charge and informally and should preferably be sent to (+49) 6151 / 60 61 40, by email to privacy@global-sports-group.com, or by postal mail to Nordring 80, 64521 Groß-Gerau.

Links to Other Providers
Our website contains - clearly identifiable - links to the websites of other companies. As far as links to websites of other providers are available, we have no influence on their content. Therefore, no guarantee or liability can be assumed for these contents. The respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible for the content of these pages.
​
The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations and recognizable legal infringements at the time of linking. Illegal contents were not recognizable at the time of linking. However, a permanent content control of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a violation of the law. If we become aware of any legal violations, we will remove such links immediately.

Automated Individual Decision-Making
We do not use purely automated processing processes to make decisions.
