3. Data collection on our website
Cookies
Some of our websites use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.
You can set your browser to inform you when cookies are set, to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude cookies for certain cases or generally, and to activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out electronic communication or to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.
Server log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
This data will not be merged with other data sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or for pre-contractual measures.
Contact form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.
The data entered into the contact form will therefore be processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal email notification to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
Registration on this website
You can register on our website to use additional features on the site. We will use the data you enter only for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject your registration.
For important changes, such as changes to the scope of services or changes required for technical reasons, we will use the email address you provided during registration to inform you.
The data you enter during registration is processed based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The legality of any data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data collected during registration will be stored by us for as long as you are registered on our website and will then be deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
4. Social Media
Below we would like to inform you about how we handle your data in accordance with Art. 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Responsible person
We, in.Stuttgart Veranstaltungsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG, operate the following social media pages:
- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wasen.de
- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cannstatterwasen
You can find our contact details in our legal notice.
In addition to us, there is also the operator of the social media platform itself. This also constitutes another controller who carries out data processing, over which we have only limited influence. In those areas where we can exert influence and parameterize data processing, we work to ensure that the operator of the social media platform handles data protection-compliant practices within the scope of the options available to us. In many areas, however, we cannot influence the data processing by the operator of the social media platform and do not know exactly which data they process. However, the operator will inform you about this in their respective privacy policy.
Data processing by us
The data you enter on our social media pages, such as comments, videos, images, likes, public messages, etc., will be published by the social media platform and will never be used or processed by us for any other purpose. We merely reserve the right to delete content if necessary. We may share your content on our page if this is a function of the social media platform and communicate with you via the social media platform. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Data processing is carried out in the interest of our public relations and communications work.
If you wish to object to a specific data processing activity over which we have influence, please contact us using the contact details provided in the legal notice. We will then review your objection or forward it to the social media platform if necessary.
If you submit an inquiry to us on the social media platform, we may refer you to other, secure communication channels that guarantee confidentiality, depending on the response required. You always have the option of sending us confidential inquiries to the address provided in the imprint.
As already explained, where the provider of the social media platform allows us to do so, we make sure that our social media pages are as data protection-compliant as possible. Therefore, we do not use demographic, interest-based, behavior-based, or location-based target group definitions for advertising that the operator of the social media platform may provide us with. Overall, we do not use the social media platform for advertising purposes. With regard to the statistics provided to us by the provider of the social media platform, we have only limited influence over these and cannot deactivate them. However, we ensure that no additional optional statistics are made available to us.
Data processing by the operator of the social media platform
The operator of the social media platform uses web tracking methods. Web tracking can occur regardless of whether you are logged in or registered with the social media platform. As already explained, we unfortunately have little influence on the social media platform's web tracking methods. For example, we cannot deactivate them.
Please be aware that it cannot be ruled out that the provider of the social media platform may use your profile and behavioral data, for example, to evaluate your habits, personal relationships, preferences, etc. We therefore have no influence on the processing of your data by the provider of the social media platform.
Further information on data processing by the provider of the social media platform and other options for objection can be found in the provider’s privacy policy:
- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/update
In cases where we are jointly responsible for processing with the social media platform, you can find the essential content of the joint processing of your data here:
- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum
Your rights as a user
When processing your personal data, the GDPR grants you, as a website user, certain rights that you can exercise both against us and against Facebook:

You have the right to request confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed; if so, you have the right to information about this personal data and to the information detailed in Article 15 GDPR.
2.) Right to rectification and erasure (Articles 16 and 17 GDPR):
You have the right to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you and, where applicable, the completion of incomplete personal data.
You also have the right to request that personal data concerning you be erased immediately if one of the reasons listed in Article 17 GDPR applies, e.g., if the data is no longer required for the purposes pursued.
3.) Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR):
You have the right to request restriction of processing if one of the conditions listed in Art. 18 GDPR is met, e.g., if you have objected to processing, for the duration of any review.
4.) Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR):
In certain cases, which are detailed in Art. 20 GDPR, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you in a structured, common, and machine-readable format or to request that this data be transmitted to a third party.
5.) Right of objection (Art. 21 GDPR):
If data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (data processing to protect legitimate interests), you have the right to object to processing at any time for reasons related to your particular situation. We will then no longer process the personal data unless there are demonstrably compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
