Privacy policy

We are delighted by your interest in our company. Data protection holds a particularly high priority for the management of Bingo Germany GmbH. The use of Bingo Germany GmbH’s websites is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if an individual wishes to access specific services provided by our company through our website, the processing of personal data may be necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally seek the consent of the individual concerned.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of an individual, always occurs in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the specific data protection regulations applicable to Bingo Germany GmbH. Through this privacy statement, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Additionally, individuals are informed of their rights through this privacy statement.

Bingo Germany GmbH, as the entity responsible for processing, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection of the personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions can inherently have security vulnerabilities, and as such, absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every individual is free to transmit personal data through alternative means, such as by phone.

1. Definitions

The privacy policy of Bingo Germany GmbH is based on the terms used by the European directive and regulatory body when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy aims to be easily readable and understandable for the public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.
In this privacy policy, we use, among other things, the following terms:

  • a) Personal Data

    Personal data refers to any information related to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the „data subject“). A natural person is considered identifiable if, directly or indirectly, especially by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more specific factors expressing the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person, can be identified.

  • b) Data Subject

    A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.

  • c) Processing

    Processing is any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, with or without the aid of automated processes, such as collecting, recording, organizing, structuring, storing, adapting, or altering, retrieving, consulting, using, disclosing by transmission, disseminating, or otherwise making available, aligning or combining, restricting, erasing, or destroying.

  • d) Restriction of Processing

    Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.

  • e) Profiling

    Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data that involves using this personal data to evaluate specific personal aspects related to a natural person, particularly to analyze or predict aspects related to work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movement of that natural person.

  • f) Pseudonymization

    Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in a way that the data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.

  • g) Controller or Processor

    The controller or processor is the natural or legal person, authority, institution, or other body that, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. If the purposes and means of this processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for its appointment may be provided for by Union law or the law of the Member States.

  • h) Processor

    Processor is a natural or legal person, authority, institution, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

  • i) Recipient

    Recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, institution, or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, regardless of whether it is a third party or not. However, authorities that may receive personal data as part of a specific investigation mandate under Union or Member State law are not considered recipients.

  • j) Third Party

    Third party is a natural or legal person, authority, institution, or other body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

  • k) Consent

    Consent is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous expression of will by the data subject for the particular case, in an informed manner and unequivocally, by means of a statement or another clear affirmative action, indicating that the data subject agrees to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.

2. Name and Address of the Controller

3. Cookies

The websites of Bingo Germany GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which websites and servers can be associated with the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the affected person from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Bingo Germany GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the setting of cookies.

Through a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user’s benefit. As mentioned earlier, cookies allow us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter his access data again each time he visits the website because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The affected person can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently oppose the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies already set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the affected person deactivates the setting of cookies in the used internet browser, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. Collection of general data and information

The website of Bingo Germany GmbH collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information are stored in the server’s log files. The following data can be recorded: (1) types and versions of browsers used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information used to avert risks in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Bingo Germany GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Instead, this information is needed to (1) deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) optimize the contents of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by Bingo Germany GmbH on the one hand statistically and, on the other hand, with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data from the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Contact option via the website

The website of Bingo Germany GmbH contains information, due to legal regulations, that enables quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us. This also includes a general email address (email address). If a data subject contacts the data controller by email or through a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no disclosure of this personal data to third parties.

6. Subscription to comments on the blog on the website

Comments made on the blog of Bingo Germany GmbH can generally be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, there is the possibility that a commentator subscribes to the comments following his comment on a specific blog post.

If a data subject chooses the option to subscribe to comments, the data controller sends an automatic confirmation email to check in the double opt-in procedure whether the owner of the specified email address has really decided on this option. The option to subscribe to comments can be terminated at any time.

7. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The data controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as required by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage is no longer applicable or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

8. Rights of the Data Subject

    Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the suitable guarantees related to the transfer.

  • d) Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

    Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to request from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay if one of the following reasons applies and if the processing is not necessary:

    • The personal data has been collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.

The employee of Bingo Germany GmbH will arrange that the erasure request be complied with immediately.
    If the personal data has been made public by Bingo Germany GmbH and our company, as the data controller, is obliged to erase the personal data pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, Bingo Germany GmbH will take appropriate measures, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure of all links to, or copies or replications of, such personal data, as far as processing is not required.

    • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

    If one of the conditions mentioned above is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by Bingo Germany GmbH, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time. The employee of Bingo Germany GmbH will initiate the restriction of processing.

  • f) Right to Data Portability
