We have not appointed a data protection officer, as we are not legally required to do so.
We only process personal data to the extent necessary for a functioning website, our content and services (in particular training requests, bookings and their payment), or where you have given your consent. The legal bases are in particular:
This website runs on a server of Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany, in a data centre in the European Union. The server and website are technically maintained by Philipp Ramsch, Cottbus.
When you visit the website, the server automatically stores information transmitted by your browser in log files: IP address, date and time, page visited, referrer URL, browser and operating system. We need this data to deliver the website, find errors and fend off attacks (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). It is not combined with other data and is deleted automatically after a short time.
Our SEO plugin logs requests for pages that do not exist (error 404) in order to find broken links. The requested address, time, browser and IP address may be stored (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
To protect against attacks and automated access, we use the security software Imunify360 (CloudLinux) on our server. It evaluates IP addresses, browser identifiers and access patterns. If behaviour looks suspicious, a short check page (“One moment, please …”) may appear, which can set a technically necessary cookie. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a secure website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, Section 25(2) TDDDG).
The connection to this website is encrypted via SSL/TLS (recognisable by “https://” and the padlock symbol in your browser).
We use cookies and similar technologies. We set technically necessary cookies without consent (Section 25(2) TDDDG), for example:
We only use all other cookies and external services (statistics, external content) if you agree in the cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time via the “Cookie settings” link or the banner. Details on individual cookies can be found in our cookie policy.
We manage consent with the WordPress plugin WPConsent, which runs on our own server. Your choice is stored in a cookie in your browser (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7(1) GDPR).
With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 (integrated via the MonsterInsights plugin) to understand how our website is used. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Without consent, Google Analytics remains set to “denied” in Consent Mode and does not set any analytics cookies.
Data processed includes pages visited, time on page, origin (e.g. search engine), device, browser, approximate location and clicks on links to booking systems on the “Free padel courts” page. IP addresses are not stored in Google Analytics 4. Data may be transferred to Google LLC in the USA; Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Event data is deleted in Google Analytics after 2 months.
The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TDDDG), which you can withdraw at any time via the cookie settings. More: policies.google.com/privacy.
If you send us a training request via the form, we process the information you provide: name, email address, optional phone number, playing level, desired training, preferred coach and your message. We use it exclusively to answer your request and arrange training (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
The form runs with the WPForms plugin on our server. The request is sent to us by email; you receive a copy at your email address. The entries are stored neither in our database nor at WPForms (the “Lite Connect” cloud backup is switched off). All emails from this website are sent directly from our own web server (WP Mail SMTP plugin); emails to us are received by the mail server of our technical support provider.
We delete your request once it has been dealt with and no statutory retention obligations apply.
You can request and book training sessions via the booking calendar on our website (“Request training”). We process your name, email address, phone number, number of participants, your optional message, the booked session and the time of booking. We use this data to carry out the training, to send you a booking confirmation with a link to manage your booking and a reminder the day before, and to inform you of any changes (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). To prevent misuse, a non-reversible hash of your IP address is stored for no more than one hour (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Bookings are stored exclusively in our website’s database; no external booking service is used. The coach also sees booked sessions in his calendar via a secret subscription address known only to him. Sessions and bookings are deleted automatically 24 months after the training date; information contained in invoices is kept in accordance with statutory retention periods (see below).
You can pay for your training by bank transfer, in cash, by card on site or online. For each booking we store the amount, payment method and payment date (Art. 6(1)(b) and (c) GDPR).
Once payment has been received, we create an invoice containing your name, your address where applicable, the service, the amount and the payment date, and send it to you by email. We keep invoices, proof of payment and accounting records in accordance with German tax law (Section 147 AO, Section 14b UStG – usually 8 to 10 years) and pass them on to our tax adviser, who is bound by professional secrecy, for bookkeeping and tax returns (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).
If you buy a 5- or 10-session card, we store your name, email address, date of purchase, price, validity, the card code and which sessions you booked with the card. We need this data to send you the card by email, keep track of your balance and check the card when you book (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). Card data is deleted automatically 24 months after the card expires; statutory retention obligations for invoices remain unaffected.
If you buy a voucher, we store your name, email address, date of purchase, price or service, validity and the voucher code, as well as – if provided – the name of the recipient and a personal message. We send you the voucher as a PDF by email. When it is redeemed, we store which booking the voucher was used for and the remaining value (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). Vouchers are valid for three years until the end of the year; after that we only keep the data as required by law.
The same applies if you contact us directly by email or phone.
On the “Free padel courts” page you can post a request if you are looking for players for a single game or a regular group.
The “Free padel courts” page shows when the courts at the venues are booked or free. Our server retrieves this information from the venues’ booking systems (Booktivio for Ostrabeach, Eversports for Sportwelt Radeberg). No data about you is transferred: your browser only loads the availability from our server. We only store which court is booked when – without names or other details about the people who booked. Only when you click on a free time slot do you switch to the website of the respective booking system; from then on, its privacy policy applies.
On the “Free padel courts” page you can set up a court alert. We will then send you an email as soon as a padel court becomes free at your preferred time.
On some pages we embed content from other providers. It is only loaded when you click “Load content” or allow “External content” in the cookie banner. Only then are your IP address and possibly other technical data transmitted to the respective provider, who may set its own cookies. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TDDDG), which you can withdraw via the cookie settings.
