4. Legal Basis and Purpose of Processing
We process your data exclusively on the basis of one or more of the possible legal bases for data processing.
According to the GDPR, personal data may, in particular, be processed on the basis of a con-tract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, on the basis of your consent, on the basis of a legitimate interest or law and/or for the protection of vital or public interests.
Registration is required for the provision of certain content or services on our website. All users can register with Transfermarkt free of charge, stating their given name, last name, email ad-dress and a password, whereby this registration data is transmitted to us. The collection and processing of this data takes place for the purpose of fulfilling the user agreement between us and the user pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
Where you have provided an email address in the course of registration or in connection with the performance of a contract, we also use this email address to send you information about similar goods or services as well as about existing subscriptions or about Transfermarkt GmbH & Co. KG in general. In this case, the processing of the email address is based on our legiti-mate interest in the advertising of our goods and services (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
In addition, if you have issued your prior express consent for receiving a newsletter or advertis-ing materials, we will use your email address to send you our newsletter. In this case, we will process your email address in order to be able to deliver the newsletter as per your request (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR). You can object to the use of your email address by sending an email or letter to datenschutz@transfermarkt.de or Wandsbeker Zollstraße 5a, 22041 Hamburg, with effect for the future and without incurring any costs other than transmission costs according to the basic tariffs. Naturally, you can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time in your user profile or by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the newsletter itself.
On the internet, each device capable of transmitting data requires its own unique address, commonly known as an “IP address”. The (at least temporary) storage of the IP address is technically necessary to allow the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. We truncate IP addresses prior to processing them and carry out any further processing anonymously.
We offer a comment function (forum) for registered users on our website, in connection with which additional personal data is stored. The same applies to any surveys in which the user chooses to participate. If you wish to post a comment, you will need to register in order to do so. You may use a pseudonym as your “username”. We collect and process the data provided by you to enable us to publish your comment as per your request (Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR). In particular, we require your email address to be able to contact you in case of complaints re-garding your comment and to give you the opportunity to respond (Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR).
In the case of processing activities not covered by one or more of the aforementioned legal bases, processing will take place only if it is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest and if your interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms do not override this legitimate interest in the context of a comprehensive balancing of interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR). A legitimate interest can be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the data controller. Inso-far as it relates to the processing of personal data, our legitimate interest consists, in particular, in conducting our business for the benefit of all of our employees and our shareholders.
Our legitimate interest in offering you tailored products, notifying you about our products, inno-vations and quality features and continually improving our products and services forms the legal basis for any and all processing that takes place for the purpose of big data, direct mar-keting (own advertising and third-party advertising), usage-based online advertising, web/app analysis and lead scoring (combining different selection criteria to determine which adverts to show). For more information on web analysis services, see Section 9.
Our legitimate interest in fraud prevention, network and information security and the reliability of our services and/or products also constitute a legal basis for the processing of certain data.
Another of our legitimate interests lies in the functionality of the business processes on the ba-sis of which processing occurs for internal administrative purposes (e.g. address manage-ment/accounting).
When processing the personal data of data subjects covered by our reporting, we also invoke our legitimate interest in exercising freedom of expression and information.
You can object at any time to data processing that occurs on the basis of a legitimate interest (see Section 14).
In the event that the data is processed for a purpose other than that specified in connection with the original data collection, a compatibility check will be carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (4) GDPR. Further processing will only be permitted if the original purpose is compatible with the new purpose or is permitted on a separate legal basis. Recognised compatible purposes include the assertion, exercise or defence of civil law claims, insofar as the interest of the data subject does not override these purposes. In such cases, we will inform you of the new pur-pose. If the new purpose is incompatible with the purpose cited in connection with the original data collection, collection will be re-established on a new legal basis. In this case, too, we will inform you about the change of purpose.
5. Location of Processing
We do not transfer your personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area, ex-cept in cases where this is permitted under the GDPR. We have no knowledge of or influence over whether third parties with whom you have a separate contractual relationship (e.g. Face-book, if you have a Facebook account) transfer data to countries outside the European Eco-nomic Area.
We sometimes process data in countries outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). In order to ensure the protection of your personal rights in connection with these data transfers, we use the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission to structure our contractual relationships with recipients in third countries in accordance with Art. 46 (2) (c) GDPR. These are available at http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2010:039:0005:0018:EN:PDF at any time. Alternatively, you can download these documents from us using one of the con-tact methods below.
6. Origin of the Data
In certain cases, we also receive data because you have consented for it to be transmitted to us.
As you know, apps are regularly made available for download from third-party sites (e.g. iTunes, Google, etc.). If, in accordance with the applicable terms of use of such a provider, Transfermarkt GmbH & Co. KG becomes your contractual partner for the purchase of the app, we will process the data provided to us by the third party to the extent necessary for the fulfilment of the contract, such that you are able to download the app on a mobile device.
Information on the Use of Apps
Our app uses the following permissions for the purposes listed below, as a result of which it gains access to certain functions of your mobile device.
• SMS / messages - Sending push notifications, e.g. football news or football results.
• Storage - For caching data and storing user settings, such as preferred language or fa-vourite club.
7. Transfer of Your Data to Third Parties
We transmit your personal data to third parties only if this transmission is necessary in order to fulfil our contractual obligations towards you and it occurs in cooperation with another provider (e.g. a partnership), if we are legally entitled or obliged to make the transfer on any other grounds, or you have issued a corresponding consent.
To enable us to provide our services, selected personal information may be shared with certain departments within our company. This includes employees in the accounting, product man-agement, marketing and IT departments.
In certain cases, we also use external service providers or affiliates who have been contracted by us to process data on our behalf. Such service providers are contractually obligated by us to adhere to the strict requirements of the GDPR in their role as a processor and may not re-use your data for any other purpose. Our contractors provide us with the following services: subscription management, content recommendations, hosting, survey and comment ser-vice(s), maintenance and support, and web & app analytics.
The transfer of data to contract data processors takes place on the basis of Art. 28 (1) GDPR or, alternatively, based on our legitimate interest in the economic and technical advantages associated with the use of specialist contract data processors pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
Insofar as we are legally obliged to do so, or if it is permitted under data protection law, we transfer personal data to authorities, e.g. the police or the public prosecution services (Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR). The disclosure of this data is based on our legitimate interest in the fight against abuse, the prosecution of crimes and the securing, assertion and enforcement of claims, It may only occur if your rights and interests in the protection of your personal data do not over-ride these interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
8. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies. Cookies are small files that your browser stores on your device in a designat-ed directory. Among other things, they enable you to be identified as a repeat visitor to our website. If you give your consent, cookies may also store login information for online services so that you do not need to re-enter the information each time you visit the site. Many cookies contain a so-called “cookie ID”: a unique identifier for the cookie. This consists of a string via which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cook-ie was stored, thus allowing visited websites and servers to distinguish the data subject’s browser from other internet browsers containing other cookies. A particular web browser can be recognised and identified by the unique cookie ID.
We use two types of cookies. The first type are cookies which are technically necessarily and without which the functionality of our website would be limited. The second type are optional cookies, which are used to make our website more user-friendly. The user data collected via the essential cookies is not used to create user profiles, while the analysis (optional) cookies are used to improve the quality of our website and its contents. Through the setting of analysis cookies, we learn how the website is used and how we can optimise it. Further information on the analysis services we use can be found in Section 9 of this Privacy Statement.
Ads are usually provided by third parties. These third parties may, to the extent permitted by your device settings, use information about your website visits to display ads about products and services that may interest you. Specific contact data such as your name, address, email address and telephone number will not be transmitted under any circumstances.
You can prevent the setting of cookies at any time by adjusting the settings in your internet browser to object permanently to the setting of cookies. In addition, previously set cookies can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software program. This can be accom-plished in all standard internet browsers. Deactivating the setting of cookies in your internet browser may mean that not all features of our website are fully usable.
When you use apps instead of a browser, a comparable technology is used in place of cookies. In the course of this, we possibly use an advertising ID, which the manufacturer of your operating system provides for such purposes. “Identifier for Advertisting” (IDFA) for iOS devices or “Google Advertising ID” for Android devices. The advertising ID is not related to the app, but connected with your terminal device as such. With the assistance of this advertising ID, Media Impact can deliver advertising contents matching your usage of the app (so-called “behaviour-oriented advertising”). The purpose of this is to display more interesting and relevant advertising to you than it would be possible without the usage of the respective data. If the advertising ID of your terminal device shall not be used for behaviour-oriented advertising, you can set up your device accordingly: If you use a terminal device from the manufacturer Apple: Open the settings and choose the option “privacy”. Under “advertising”, you can now activate the feature “no ad-tracking”. If you use a terminal device with the operating system Android: Open the the app “Google settings” and choose the option “ads”. There you can “Opt out of Ads Personalisation”.
Cookies cannot identify you as a person. Moreover, our use of cookies is justified on the basis of our legitimate interest in the optimisation of our website and the statistical analysis of Trans-fermarkt GmbH & Co. KG justified (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
9. Google reCAPTCHA
In order to ensure sufficient data security when submitting forms, we use the reCAPTCHA service of Google Inc. in certain cases. This is used primarily to distinguish whether the input is made by a natural person or abusive by automated and automated processing. The service includes the sending of the IP address and, if applicable, other data needed by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. This is subject to the deviating privacy policies of Google Inc. For more information about the Google Inc. Privacy Policy, please visit http://www.google.com/intl/en/privacy or https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/
10. Web / App Analysis Services
In order to improve our content on an ongoing basis, to adapt it to the interests of our users and to display usage-based online advertising, we use a number of services that collect and evalu-ate data on our website or in our app. Insofar as these service providers do not themselves constitute data controllers within the meaning of data protection law, they always process the pseudonymised user data according to the provisions of a contract data processing agree-ment. You can disable these individual analysis services at any time with effect for the future. The following paragraphs contain more information about the analysis services we use.
Google Analytics
We have integrated functions of Google Analytics (including IP anonymisation) into our Online Services. Google Analytics is a web analytics service
and is designed to collect, compile and analyse data about the behaviour of website visitors. Among other things, a web analytics ser-vice
collects information about the referrer URL, the pages of the website that were accessed, and how often and for what length of time a page was
viewed. Web analytics data is used pri-marily to optimise websites and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
The operator of Google Analytics is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. We use the anonymisation function “ga ('set', 'anonymizelp', true)”, which prompts to Google to truncate and anonymise the user’s IP address if the access request comes from a Member State of the European Union or another Contracting Party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of Google Analytics is to analyse visitor flows on our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate visitors’ use of our website, to com-pile reports for us about activity on our web pages and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject’s computer system (for the definition of a cookie, please see above). Google can use the cookie-generated information to analyse your use of our website. Each time you visit any of the pages of our website into which a Google Analytics component has been incorporated, the internet browser on your computer system is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to submit the data to Google for online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google will become aware of per-sonal data such as your IP address. This serves, among other things, to enable Google to track the origin of visitors and clicks and thus to reach subsequent commission settlements.
The cookie stores personally identifiable information, such as access time, the location from which the access was requested and the frequency of site visits by the data subject. Each time you, as the data subject, visit our website, your personal information - including the IP address of your internet connection - is transferred to Google in the United States of America and stored there. Google may transfer the personal data collected via this technical process to third parties.
As described above, data subjects can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by adjusting the settings of their internet browser and thus objecting permanently to the setting of cookies. Adjusting the browser settings in this way will also prevent Google from set-ting a cookie on the computer system. In addition, cookies already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, data subjects have the option to object to and block the collection of Google Ana-lytics-generated data about the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. In order to do this, the data subject must download and install the browser add-on accessible under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics, via JavaScript, that no data or information about website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. Google classes the installation of the browser add-on as an objection on the part of the data subject. If the data subject’s com-puter system is later deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the data subject must re-install the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or disabled by the data subject or by another person within the data subject’s sphere of influence, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate it as desired.
Other information and Google’s own data privacy guidelines can be found at https://privacy.google.com/intl/en-GB/index.html and https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. More details about Google Analytics can be found here: https://www.google.com/intl/en_uk/analytics/#?modal_active=none.
Google DoubleClick
We have integrated components of DoubleClick by Google into this website. DoubleClick is a Google brand under which special online marketing
solutions are marketed to advertising agencies and publishers.
The operator of DoubleClick by Google is is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
DoubleClick by Google transmits data to the DoubleClick server with every impression, click, or other activity. Each of these data transfers triggers a cookie request to the data subject’s browser. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick sets a cookie on the data subject’s computer system (for the definition of a cookie, please see above). The purpose of the cookie is to optimise and display advertising. The cookie is used, among other things, to serve and display user-relevant advertisements as well as to generate reports on or optimise advertising campaigns. The cookie is used to avoid multiple impressions of the same advertising message.
DoubleClick uses a cookie ID, which is necessary for the execution of the technical process. It is required, for example, to display an ad in a browser. DoubleClick can also use the cookie ID to see which ads have already appeared in a browser and thus to avoid avoid duplication. The cookie ID further enables DoubleClick to track conversions. A “conversion” is recorded when, for example, a user has previously been shown a DoubleClick ad and then makes a purchase on the advertiser’s site using the same internet browser.
A DoubleClick cookie does not contain any personally identifiable information. However, a DoubleClick cookie may contain additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier identi-fies the campaigns with which the user has already come into contact.
Each time you visit any of the pages of this website that are operated by us and into which a DoubleClick component has been integrated, the Internet browser on your computer system will be automatically prompted, by the respective DoubleClick component, to transmit the data to Google for the purpose of online advertising and calculating commission settlements. As part of this technical process, Google will gain knowledge of the data it uses to draw up com-mission settlements. Google learns, among other things, that you, as the data subject, have clicked on certain links on our website.
As already described above, you can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by adjusting the corresponding settings on your internet browser and thus objecting permanent-ly to the setting of cookies. Adjusting the settings in this way will also prevent Google from set-ting a cookie on the computer system. In addition, cookies already set by Google can be delet-ed at any time via an internet browser or other software program.
Further information and the respective data privacy guidelines of DoubleClick by Google can be viewed at https://policies.google.com/?hl=en.
Scalable Central Measurement System (AGOF/IVW)
We use the scalable central measurement system provided by INFOnline GmbH (
https://www.INFOnline.de)
to generate statistical indicators about the use of our website. The purpose of measuring web-site use is to generate statistical information
about the number of visitors and their surfing be-haviour using a uniform standard procedure, and thus to be able to obtain comparable values
across an entire market. The resulting user categories form the basis for the interest-based alignment of advertising material and campaigns. As
part of this process, INFOnline GmbH stores the IP address, shortened by 1 byte, for a maximum of 60 days. As part of the measurement of advertising reach,
one of the following four methods is used to recognise returning visitors: a Third Party Cookie, a First Party Cookie , a Local Storge Object or a signature
created from the various items of information automatically transmitted by your browser for the purpose of recognition. If the user uses an app,
the following device IDs can be transmitted to INFOnline GmbH as hash values: advertising identifier, installation ID, Android ID and vendor ID.
It is also possible for the data to be measured and subsequently assigned to the respective client identifier if the user accesses other websites making
use of the scalable central measurement system provided by INFOnline GmbH. The usage data is stored in connection with a unique identifier for a maximum of 6 months.
For all digital products and services having membership of the German Audit Bureau of Circu-lation (Informationsgemeinschaft zur Feststellung der Verbreitung von Werbeträgern e.V. / IVW, (http://www.ivw.eu) or participating in the Working Group for Online Media Research (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Online-Forschung e.V. / AGOF, http://www.agof.de) , usage statistics on advertising reach will be regularly processed by AGOF and the Working Group for Media Analysis (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Media-Analyse e.V. / agma, http://www.agma-mmc.de) and published under the performance criterion “unique users” as well as by the IVW under the performance criteria “page impressions” and “visits”. These reach measurements and statistics can be viewed on the respective organisations’ websites. To enable the creation of AGOF studies, data is passed to the following AGOF service providers, with a client identifier but without an IP address: Kantar Deutschland GmbH( https://www.tns-infratest.com/), Ankordata GmbH & Co. KG (http://www.ankordata.de/homepage/ ) and Interrogare GmbH (https://www.interrogare.de/).
The measurement of data using the scalable central measurement system provided by IN-FOnline GmbH takes place in accordance with a legitimate interest. In order to market web-site, it is essential for us to have a measurement of use that ensures comparability with other market participants. In addition, we have a legitimate interest in making available the pseudon-ymised data of INFOnline, AGOF and IVW for the purposes of market research (AGOF, ag-ma) and for statistical purposes (INFOnline, IVW). Furthermore, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymised data of INFOnline available for the further development and provision of interest-based advertising material.
Other information on data protection in connection with measurement processes can be found on the websites of INFOnline GmbH ( https://www.infonline.de), which operates the measuring system, and the data protection pages of AGOF ( http://www.agof.de/datenschutz) and IVW(https://optout.ioam.de/).
If you do not wish to be included in these statistics, you can object by clicking the following link: https://optout.ioam.de . In order to guarantee exclusion from the measurement, it is necessary to set a cookie. If you subsequently delete the cookies in your browser, you will need to repeat the opt-out process accessible at the above link.

YouTube
We have chosen to integrate certain YouTube components into this website. YouTube is a free internet video portal that allows video publishers to
upload videos and other users to view, rate and comment on them. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos. As such, it offers complete
film and television broadcasts as well as music videos, trailers and user-made vide-os.
The operator of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
Each time you visit any of the page of this website that … and into which a YouTube compo-nent (YouTube video) has been integrated, the internet browser on your computer system will be automatically prompted, by the respective YouTube component, to download a representa-tion of that component from YouTube. More information about YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/intl/en-GB/yt/about/. As a result of this technical process, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of the specific pag-es of our site that you visit.
If you, as the data subject, are logged in to YouTube at the same time as accessing a page containing a YouTube component, YouTube can identify which specific page of the website you are visiting. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to your individual YouTube account.
If a data subject is logged into YouTube at the time of accessing our website, YouTube and Google will receive information from the YouTube
component that the data subject has visited our website. This happens regardless of whether or not they click on a YouTube video or not. If the
data subject does not wish such information to be transmitted to YouTube, they may pre-vent this from happening by logging out of their YouTube
account before accessing our web-site.
