• If applicable, further data (first name, surname, e-mail address, other voluntary details if applicable) if you send us a message and IP address and time if this message is an e-mail. 

3. Data processing purposes 

The collection of this data takes place 

• to be able to identify the winners; 
• to be able to notify the winners and send them the prize (e.g. sending tickets by post) 
• to contact the participants in the context of the administration of the competition or to reply to your message 

4. Legal basis 

The data processing is carried out on the basis of your participation in the competition and is necessary for the appropriate organisation and implementation of the competition as well as the dispatch of the prizes in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) DS-GVO for the purposes stated.  

If you send Recaro an e-mail or other communication, the legal basis for this, if and insofar as your consent is given, is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DS-GVO. 

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail or other message is also Art. 6 (1) lit. f) DS-GVO. If the message aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DS-GVO. 

The processing of personal data from an e-mail sent to us serves solely to process the contact. This also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data if it is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f) DS-GVO. 

5. Duration of the storage of personal data 

The personal data collected by Recaro for the organisation and implementation of the competition as well as the dispatch of the prizes will be stored until the expiry of the legal obligation to retain the data and then deleted, unless you have consented to a longer storage period in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a) DS-GVO or there is another basis for the storage in accordance with the DS-GVO. In individual cases, a longer storage period may be necessary for evidence purposes (e.g. in the context of a legal dispute). 

The data from a message that you have sent us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case when the respective conversation with you has ended. The conversation is ended when the circumstances indicate that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.  

After a revocation or objection (cf. section (8) Data subject rights and section (9) Information on your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 DS-GVO below), your personal data will be deleted within 7 days and Recaro will then no longer send you any further information, irrespective of contacting you in the context of other competitions or responding to further enquiries. 

6. Disclosure of data to third parties; processors 

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those mentioned below: 

Insofar as this is necessary for the organisation and processing of the competition in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b) DS-GVO, your personal data will be passed on to third parties. This includes, in particular, the forwarding of your address and telephone number to shipping service providers for the transmission of the prize won. This data may only be used by the third party in question to carry out the competition. If we use a processor, we will ensure that the processor is contractually bound to protect your personal data in the same way as we are. 

A transfer to recipients in countries outside the European Union does not take place in principle.  

7. No automated decision making and no profiling 

Exclusively automated decision-making - including profiling - pursuant to Art. 22 GDPR means that machine-processed data directly lead to a computer-assisted decision, i.e. a decision made by data processing equipment, which is not subject to even partial evaluation by a natural person. According to Art. 4 No. 4 GDPR, profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data which serves to evaluate personal aspects of a natural person. 

Recaro does not use automated decision-making in this sense, nor does Recaro carry out profiling. 

8. Data subject rights 

You have that right: 

• In accordance with Art. 7 (3) DS-GVO, you may revoke your consent at any time. This can be done formally and without notice. It is sufficient to send an e-mail to: business@recaro-gaming.com. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing of your data carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation. The only consequence of the revocation is that the data processing, which was based exclusively on this consent, may no longer be continued in the future;  
• You have the right to request information about your personal data processed by us in accordance with Art. 15 DS-GVO. In particular, you can request information about the processing purposes, the category of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection, the existence of a right of complaint, the origin of your data if it has not been collected by us, as well as the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, if applicable, meaningful information about its details;  
• to immediately request the correction of incorrect or incomplete personal data stored by us in accordance with Art. 16 DS-GVO;  
• to request the deletion of your personal data stored by us in accordance with Art. 17 DS-GVO, unless the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims;  
• to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data in accordance with Art. 18 DS-GVO, insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed by you or the processing is unlawful, but you object to its deletion and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data or the data is no longer required, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or you have objected to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 DS-GVO;  

• in accordance with Art. 20 DS-GVO, to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request the transfer to another controller; and
