In the following, we would like to inform you about the data collected, processed, and used when you visit the Staatsballett website and/or use the services and offerings provided by us.

1. Personal Data
Personal data are individual details about natural persons that allow conclusions to be drawn about your personal, economic, or factual circumstances. This also includes address data, for example. Information that is not directly related to your identity is not included.
2. What personal data do we process?
In principle, it is not necessary to provide personal data (such as name, address, email address, telephone number) for the use of the Staatsballett website. However, the provider of the page, the Staatsballett, automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. These are: browser type and browser version, operating system used, referrer URL, IP address of the accessing computer, time of the server request. These data cannot be assigned to specific individuals. These data are not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to subsequently check these data if we become aware of concrete indications of illegal use.
Further personal data will only be collected if you use the services offered on our website (such as subscribing to newsletters including press releases, ordering publications) or if you want to order tickets or items from the ballet shop, for example. In this case, we need information such as your name, address, including email address if applicable, your telephone number, as well as bank and/or credit card information. All information about bank and/or credit card information will be deleted after being transmitted to the respective payment service providers.
Newsletter
For newsletter subscription, your first name and last name, as well as your email address, will be recorded.
Ticket Sales
When purchasing tickets at the box office with non-cash payment, your first name and last name will be recorded. For telephone orders, your email address or postal address will also be recorded depending on the shipping method.
3. Purpose of Collecting and Processing Personal Data and Their Legal Basis
The Staatsballett uses the data you provide to fulfill and process the contract for the purchase of tickets as well as for subscriptions in accordance with Article 6 (1b) of the EU GDPR. In this context, the Staatsballett uses the data to inform you about the booked performance, any changes to the program, or transportation options, among other things. If the Staatsballett has received your address or email address in connection with the purchase of a ticket, the Staatsballett may also use this data for direct advertising for other ballet performances of the Staatsballett in accordance with Article 6 (1 f) of the EU GDPR. The legal basis for the use of personal data when subscribing to the newsletter is Article 6 (1a) of the EU GDPR. Your data will be treated strictly confidential by the Staatsballett and used exclusively for the purposes mentioned here, for which you have provided the data.
Your provided personal data will only be processed and used for other purposes if you, as a user, have consented to this or if processing and use is permissible by law without consent.
4. Transmission of Personal Data
The Staatsballett uses a secure online transmission method, the so-called "Secure Socket Layer" (SSL) transmission, to process your personal information. All information transmitted with this method is encrypted at a high level (at least 128 bits, up to 256 bits with common browsers) before being sent to us. This ensures, as far as possible, that unauthorized persons cannot use your information.
5. Duration of Storage of Personal Data
The personal data collected during ticket sales or subscriptions will be stored in a customer account in the Staatsballett's ticket system for a maximum of 10 years after the last performance date or last order of printed media. In case of your revocation or request for deletion of further use of your data, your customer account (registration) or your data will be immediately blocked and deleted for further use, unless there are tax and commercial retention obligations (§§ 147 AO, 257 HGB) that oppose this or you have expressly consented to the further use of this data.
6. Who Receives My Data?
The Staatsballett will only disclose your personal data to third parties if you have consented to the transmission or if this is necessary to fulfill the purchase contract for admission tickets. Your payment data (credit card data or IBAN) will be transmitted encrypted to card and distribution service providers. These service providers are partners of the Staatsballett for the processing of payment transactions when purchasing tickets. The service providers work for us on behalf and on the legal basis of Article 6 (1b) of the EU GDPR. The transmission of payment data takes place in a secured and encrypted form as described in section 4.
Furthermore, your personal data (including name, postal address, email address, subscription status) will be encrypted and passed on to commissioned data processors for newsletter distribution and for use in the ticket system. The data processors use personal data only within the scope of the assigned task. There will be no further use of your data by us or the data processors.
7. Right to Information, Correction, Deletion, and Transfer of Personal Data

3. Social Plugins
The Staatsballett integrates so-called social plugins from selected platforms (e.g., Facebook, Twitter). Social plugins can collect data from your website visit and use it for networking purposes.
Facebook Social Plugins
Our internet presence uses so-called social plugins of the social network facebook.com ("Facebook"). Facebook is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. Detailed information about the functions of the individual plugins and their appearance can be found on the following website: developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/
The web pages of our internet presence that contain Facebook social plugins establish a direct connection to the servers of Facebook via your browser when you open them. This transmits information to Facebook that the page of our Internet offering containing the social plugin has been called up by you.
If you are logged into Facebook at this time, your visit to our pages as well as all of your interactions in connection with the social plugins (e.g., clicking the "Like" button, creating a comment, etc.) can be assigned to your Facebook profile and stored at Facebook. Even if you do not have a Facebook profile, it cannot be ruled out that Facebook will store your IP address.
With regard to the purpose and scope of data collection and the processing and use of data by Facebook, we refer to the Facebook data protection guidelines: www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. You will also find an overview of the settings available in your personal Facebook profile to protect your privacy and your associated rights.
To prevent Facebook from collecting data during your visit to our website, log out of Facebook before visiting our site. One way to prevent general access to your data by Facebook on our and other websites is to exclude Facebook social plugins through add-ons for your browser.
YouTube
Use of YouTube in extended data protection mode We use the YouTube provider to embed videos. The videos are embedded in extended data protection mode. Like most websites, YouTube also uses cookies to collect information about visitors to its website. YouTube uses these, among other things, to collect video statistics, prevent fraud, and improve user-friendliness. This also results in a connection being established with the Google DoubleClick network. Starting the video could trigger further data processing processes. We have no influence on this. Further information about data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: www.youtube.com/t/privacy_at_youtube
