This includes data processing for purposes of direct advertising, sales promotion, IT security and fraud prevention, as well as the creation of pseudonymous user profiles for analysis and demand-oriented design of the website (tracking via Google Analytics).

3.1.2 Participation in lotteries
When you enter a competition, we collect the information necessary to run the competition. These are usually an individual entry (e.g. a comment or a photo), as well as name and contact information. We may pass on your data to our lottery partners, e.g. to send you the prize. Data processing and data transfer may vary depending on the competition and is therefore described in detail in the respective conditions of participation. Participation in the competition and the associated data collection is of course voluntary (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO).
3.1.3 Dispatch of our newsletter
You can subscribe to our newsletter to receive information on current offers, artist news, concerts and events. When you register or click on "Customize newsletter", you can choose between different areas of interest (comedy/cabaret/readings/theater/film music, classic/jazz/world music, musicals/shows/dance/artistry, rock/pop, traditional music, folk music, other). Advertising information will only be sent to your e-mail address as part of our newsletter if you have consented to the use of your e-mail address. You can, of course, revoke your consent to the sending of newsletters at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the newsletter, selecting the "Customize newsletter" function on our website or by informing us of your wish to unsubscribe (Mail: info@semmel.de). To subscribe to our newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after your registration we will send you an e-mail to the specified e-mail address in which we will ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. In addition, we save the time of your confirmation. This enables us to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify possible misuse of your personal data by third parties.
3.1.4 Newsletter data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We use newsletter service providers to process the newsletter, which are described below.
Brevo
This website uses Brevo to send newsletters. The provider is Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany.
Brevo is a service that can be used, among other things, to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter is stored on the servers of Sendinblue GmbH in Germany.
Data analysis by Brevo
With the help of Brevo, we are able to analyze our newsletter campaigns. For example, we can see whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked. In this way, we can determine, among other things, which links have been clicked particularly often.
We can also see whether certain previously defined actions have been carried out after opening/clicking (conversion rate). This allows us, for example, to see whether you have made a purchase after clicking on the newsletter.
Brevo also enables us to divide the newsletter recipients into different categories ("cluster"). The newsletter recipients can be divided by age, gender or place of residence, for example. In this way, the newsletters can be better tailored to the respective target groups.
If you do not want analysis by Brevo, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a corresponding link for this in every newsletter message.
For detailed information on the functions of Brevo, please see the following link: https://www.brevo.com/de/newsletter-software/.
Legal basis
The data processing is carried out on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.
Storage period
The data you provide to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is only used for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

3.1.9 Website Analysis
For the purpose of analysing and optimising our websites, we use various services which are described below. For example, we can analyse how many users visit our site, which information is most in demand or how users find the offer. Among other things, we collect data about from which website a person concerned came to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. This helps us to make our offers user-friendly and to improve them. The data collected in the process is not used to identify individual users personally. Anonymous or at most pseudonymous data is collected. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 f DSGVO. We understand the optimization of our website as a legitimate interest, your basic rights and fundamental freedoms do not outweigh our interest, since we inform you in the context of our data protection declaration comprehensively about the data collection and you have the possibility of an opt-out (via link here or browser settings) at any time. In addition, we only use pseudonymous tracking.
Google Analytics This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc, (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). The website is operated in universal analytics mode. This makes it possible to assign data, sessions and interactions across several devices to a pseudonymous user ID and thus to analyze the activities of a user across all devices. Google Analytics uses cookies, which enable an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google in advance within Member States of the European Union or in other Contracting States to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA where it will be shortened. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. Our legitimate interest in data processing also lies in these purposes. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is § 15 Abs. 3 TMG resp. Art. 6 Abs. 1 f DSGVO. The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 14 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month.

You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and Google from processing this data by downloading and installing this.https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en Opt-out cookies prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. To prevent Universal Analytics from collecting your data across multiple devices, you must opt-out of all systems you use. If you click here, the opt-out cookie will be set: Deactivate Google Analytics
We use reCaptcha v2 on our websites. reCaptcha is a service offered by Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) and serves to prevent abusive automated entries into web forms and thus to protect the technical systems of the host. It is used by us for this purpose and this is also in our legitimate interest, Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR.
When you call up one of our websites in which reCaptcha is integrated, a connection to the servers of Google is established. A reCaptcha cookie is set. Your IP address is transmitted to Google.
Furthermore, reCaptcha collects the following data by means of "fingerprinting":
- used browser plugins
- the cookies set by Google in the last 6 months
- Number of mouse clicks and touches you have made on this screen
- CSS information for the called page
- Javascript objects
- the date
- the browser language
To the extent that personal data is transferred to Google in the USA, this is done under the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.
You may refuse the use of cookies and fingerprinting by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

We use your data to contact you as desired, to establish a business relationship and to send you information material.

4.1 External service providers (contract processors)
Your data will be passed on to service partners if they are active on our behalf and support Semmel in providing their services. If, for example, you subscribe to our newsletter, we have commissioned a service provider to send you the mailing.

4.3 Joint Controllership for Clarifi Media Ltd./ Festyvent
We enable carefully selected cooperation partners to create apps for us. This gives you, for example at festivals, the opportunity to better find your way around events while we learn what interests our event visitors most. We cannot identify individual users of the app. In addition, users of the app can optionally register for our competitions. The provider of the app then transmits the relevant participant data such as the e-mail address. The cooperation partners operate the app and evaluate its use. They send us summary reports on the use of the App as well as, where required, raw data on the use of the App. This may include which events have been added to the calendar, location details, which functions have been accessed in the app. If necessary, they will transmit the participant data of competition participants to us. Our respective cooperation partner and we are jointly responsible for the protection of your personal data within the described process (Art. 26 GDPR). Responsible for the user data is initially Clarifi Media Ltd./ Festyvent. The cooperation partner is responsible for the processing of data when using the app. The transmission of participant data in competitions , transmission of summary reports on the use of the App as well as the possibility to view raw data on the use of the App are subject to joint responsibility (Art. 26 GDPR). Beyond this, your personal data will not be passed on to third parties.
The legal basis for the processing is your participation or interest in the events (Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR) and optionally, if applicable, your participation in the competition (Art. 6 para. 1 a GDPR). Please also see 3.1.2
Within the scope of our joint responsibility under data protection law, we have agreed with our cooperation partners that Clarifi Media Ltd will fulfil the obligations to protect your rights in accordance with the GDPR. Due to the processing of your data within the framework of events, you can assert your rights to information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, objection, revocation and data transmission against Clarifi Media Ltd.
5. are my data processed outside the EU/EEA and how is data protection ensured?
We attach great importance to processing your data within the EU/EEA. However, it may happen that we use service providers who operate outside the EU/EEA. In these cases, we ensure that an appropriate level of data protection is established prior to the transfer of your personal data. This means that EU standard treaties or an adequacy decision achieve a level of data protection that is comparable to the standards within the EU.
6. How long will my data be kept?
We delete personal data of the data subject as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies and statutory retention periods do not prevent deletion. For example, we have established the following deletion routines:
- Newsletter: We delete your data after you have withdrawn your consent.
- Applications: We delete your data 6 months after completion of the application procedure.
7. Which rights do I have and how can I assert them?
You have the following rights against us with regard to your personal data:

In the event of your objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can prove compelling reasons for the processing worthy of protection which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
7.3 Rights in direct advertising
If we process your personal data for the purpose of direct advertising, you have the right, pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 DSGVO, to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is connected with such direct advertising.
