Privacy Policy – ballnews media

1. Controller

The controller for data processing on this website is ballnews media GmbH, Robert-Koch-Str. 15, 88400 Biberach, email: info@ballnews.media. We have [APPOINTED / NOT APPOINTED] a data protection officer.

2. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by [HOSTING PROVIDER], [PROVIDER ADDRESS]. When pages are accessed, the provider automatically records server log files: IP address, date and time of access, file requested, referrer, browser type and operating system. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in the secure and stable operation of the site (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Log files are deleted after [RETENTION PERIOD].

3. Contacting us by email

If you send us an email, we process your address and the content of your message in order to answer your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR. We delete the message once it has been dealt with, unless statutory retention obligations apply. This website contains no contact form.

4. Cookies and consent

This website uses strictly necessary storage to record your decision about analytics cookies. That entry is stored locally in your browser (ballnews_consent) and is not transmitted to us. All other cookies are set only after you have consented (§ 25(1) TDDDG, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can change or withdraw your decision at any time via "Cookie settings" in the footer; withdrawal takes effect for the future.

5. Google Analytics 4

Google Analytics 4 (provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is loaded only if you have consented. Without your consent no script is loaded and no connection to Google is established. Analytics then collects pseudonymous usage data such as pages viewed, time on page, approximate location derived from the truncated IP address, device type and traffic source. We use measurement ID [GA4 MEASUREMENT ID]. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, § 25(1) TDDDG). Transfer to the USA is possible; Google relies on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and on standard contractual clauses.

6. External links

This website links to our own football portals and to social media profiles. Data processing on those sites is governed by their own privacy notices. No third-party content is loaded automatically and no social media plugins are embedded.

7. Your rights

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and objection to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21). You may withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future. Contact info@ballnews.media to exercise these rights.

8. Right to lodge a complaint

You may lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for us is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of Baden-Württemberg.
