  1. Name and address of the responsible party
The party responsible (the controllers) in the sense of the General Data Protection Regulation and other national privacy laws of Memberstates, as well as other privacy regulations, are: EXIT Adventures GmbH Am Zirkus 4 10117 Berlin Managing Directors: Max Mühlbach, Nico Nonne Commercial Register: Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, HRB 180871 B Telephone: +49 (0) 30 208 499 070 E-Mail: hello@exit-vr.de
  1. General information about the processing of data
  1. Scope of the processing of personal data
We process personal data only in so far as necessary to provide our contents, services and a functioning website. User data is regularly only processed after the user consented. An exception is made only in such cases where a previous consent is not possible and where processing of such data is permitted through legal provisions. We process inventory data (e.g. name, address and email-address), contractual data (e.g. provided services, payment information) in order to fulfill our contractual duties and services in line with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit b. GDPR. The required entries in online forms are necessary for the conclusion of a contract.
  1. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
If we obtain the consent of a user for processing operations of his or her data, then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis for this processing. When the processing of data is required to fulfill a contract with a concerned party, then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR is the legal basis for this processing. This also applies to processing operations which are required to carry out precontractual measures. If a processing of personal data is required to fulfill legal obligations which our company is subject to, then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c) GDPR is the legal basis for this processing. In the case that vital interests of a concerned party or another natural person require the processing of personal data, then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. d) GDPR is the legal basis for this processing. If the processing of data is required to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if said interests outweigh the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the concerned party, then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR is the legal basis for this processing.
  1. Deletion of data and duration of data storage
The personal data of a concerned party will be deleted or blocked when the purpose of its storage ceases to apply. Storage beyond this can be done if stipulated by European or national legislation in federal regulations, laws or other provisions which the responsible party is subject to. Unless further storage is required to conclude or fulfill a contract, data will also be deleted or blocked if a stipulated storage period of aforementioned standards expires.
  1. Cooperation with processors and third parties
If we transmit data to other persons and companies (processors or third parties) or grant them otherwise access in order to process data, we only do so on the basis of a legal permission, the consent of the concerned party, a legal obligation, executing contractual relationships (e.g. bookingkit, Mangopay) with the concerned party or if we have a legitimate interest in the transmission (e.g. for the assignment of agents or webhosts etc.). If we assign third parties with the processing of data on the ground of a so called “order-processing contract”, then Art. 28 GDPR is the legal basis for such actions.
  1. Data security
We employ on our website the widespread SSL-method (Secure Socket Layer) in conjunction with the encryption which is supported by the user’s browser. In most cases this will be 256-bit encryption. If the used browser does not support 256-bit encryption, the 128-bit v3 technology will be applied instead. Whether a single page of our internet presence is transmitted with encryption can be discerned by the depiction of a key or closed padlock in the lower status bar of the used browser. We furthermore apply suitable technological and organizational safety measures to protect data against accidental or intentional manipulations, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorized access by third parties. Our safety measures are continuously improved according to technological advancements.
  1. Company profiles on social media
We operate company profiles on social networks and platforms to communicate with customers, potential customers and users in order to inform them about our services. Business conditions and data processing regulations of the respective operators apply when accessing their networks and platforms. Unless otherwise indicated in our data protection declaration, we process the data of users who interact with us on social networks and platforms, e.g. by posting or sending us messages.
  • Provision of the website and generation of logfiles

  1. type and version of the used browser
  2. the user’s operating system
  • the user’s internet service provider
  1. the user’s IP address

  1. Usage of cookies
  1. General information
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies stored on your terminal (laptop, tablet, smartphone etc.) by your browser. These cookies process certain specific information about you, such as your browser, location data, or IP address. Cookies do not harm the terminal, do not contain viruses, trojans or other malware. Cookies contain information which corresponds to the specifically used terminal, but that does not mean that we gain direct knowledge about your identity. This processing makes our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure, allowing us, for example, to discern which pages your terminal has visited on our website, to display our website in different languages or to offer a booking function. When you close your browser, these session cookies are automatically deleted. We also use temporary cookies which temporarily store entries the user makes on our website. If the user leaves and comes back to make use of our services, those entries are restored so the user does not need to enter them again. We furthermore use those cookies to gather statistical data about the usage of our website in order to optimize our service for the user (see VII.). Temporary cookies are automatically deleted after a certain period. When visiting our website, the user is automatically informed about our usage of cookies and directed to this data protection declaration. The legal basis for such processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, insofar as these cookies are used to collect data to initiate or process contractual relationships. If the processing does not serve to initiate or process a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
  1. Third-party cookies

However, the steps and measures required vary, depending on the browser in use. For any questions, please use the help function or consult the documentation for the browser or contact its maker for support. Browser settings cannot prevent so-called flash cookies from being set. Instead, the user will need to change the setting of the Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the Flash player in use.

Data which is gathered in this context is not transferred to third parties and will solely be used to process the conversation with the user. Legal basis for the processing of data transmitted by sending an email is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of visits to our website and what visitors do once there. This data can also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and of the internet in general. Google states that it will not connect your IP address to other data. In addition, Google provides further information with regard to its data protection practices at https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners and https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en, including options you can exercise to prevent such use of your data. In addition, Google offers an opt-out add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en along with further information. This add-on can be installed on the most popular browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on informs Google Analytics’ JavaScript (ga.js) that no information about the website visit should be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services we may use as detailed herein. Alternatively, especially when using a mobile device, the link above may be used to put a opt-out-cookie in the used browser, which inhibits further collection of data via our website.
