A. General provisions on data processing


1. Subject of this privacy policy

The protection of your personal data is a great and very important concern for us. In the following, we would like to inform you in detail of the data collected during your visit to our website, the use of our offers there and how the data is processed or used by us. Furthermore, we will also inform you of which accompanying protective measures we have taken in terms of technology and organisation.

  • The erasure of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under EU law or the law of the Member States to which the data subject is subject;

The data protection officer of Flughafen Dortmund GmbH or another employee will then initiate the restriction of processing.

6.6 Right to data portability

Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to receive personal data relating to them, which was provided to a controller by the data subject, in a structured, common and machine-readable format. The data subject also has the right to transfer these data to another controller without being hindered by the controller, to whom the personal data were provided, insofar as processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR or Art. 9(2) lit. a GDPR or a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1) li. b GDPR, and the processing is performed using automated processing, unless the processing is necessary to fulfil a task which is in the public interest or which is performed in exercise of a public authority which has been assigned to the controller.

The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

6.8 Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European regulators and authorities. not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which has a legal effect on the data subject or similarly affects the data subject insofar as the decision:

  • Is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or;
  • Is permitted by Union or Member State legislation to which the controller is subject, and where such legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject; or
  • Involves the express consent of the data subject.

If the decision to conclude or execute a contract between the data subject and the controller is necessary or if such a decision is made with the explicit consent of the data subject, Flughafen Dortmund GmbH shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to effect the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, the right to present their own position, and the right to challenge the decision.

7. Legal basis of processing

Unless otherwise specified in the description of the respective data processing procedure in the following Chapter B of this Privacy Policy, the following provisions apply.

Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR acts as the legal basis for Flughafen Dortmund GmbH’s processing operations where consent must be obtained for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is required to execute a contract to which the data subject is a party, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our services and products.

If Flughafen Dortmund GmbH is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR.

In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be required in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. In this case, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. d GDPR.

Finally, processing operations may be based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of Flughafen Dortmund GmbH or a third party, provided that the interests, basic rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not take precedence. Such processing operations are permitted for us in particular since they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator (see Recital 47 clause 2 GDPR).

8. Consideration of legitimate interests

Unless otherwise governed in the description of the respective data processing procedure in Chapter B of this Privacy Policy and the processing of personal data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, we have a legitimate interest in undertaking our business activity and in the financial interest associated therewith.

9. Data protection when using our contact information

If you use the contact information provided on our website (such as our e-mail address or fax number) to contact us, the personal data you provide will only be processed for the purpose of making contact.

If the reason for contacting us an interest in our services or products or in the execution of a contract existing with us, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. In all other cases of making contact with us, we have a legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR since you initiated the communication.

We store the data required for execution of contract until the expiry of the statutory warranty and, if applicable, contractual guarantee periods. We retain the data required under commercial and tax law for the periods specified by law, usually for ten years (see Art. 257 HGB, Art. 147 AO). The data processed for the implementation of pre-contractual measures will be erased as soon as the measures have been carried out and evidently no contract has been concluded.

The personal data stored by us on the basis of a legitimate interest will be stored until the purpose aim by the contact has been achieved. You have the right to object to data processing performed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR which does not serve direct marketing purposes for reasons that arise from your particular situation at any time. In the case of direct advertising, however, you can object to the processing at any time without stating your reasons.

Recipients of personal data processed according to this stipulation are IT service providers (in particular hosters), with whom we have concluded a corresponding data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.

10. Data protection in applications and in the application process

We collect and process personal data from applicants for the purposes of carrying out the application process and therefore on the grounds of a pre-contractual measure in the sense of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR or our legitimate interest in hiring employees pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

The processing can also be carried out electronically, for example, if an applicant submits corresponding application documents by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via our contact form. If we conclude a contract of employment with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of executing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the controller, the application documents will be automatically erased two months after the announcement of the rejection decision, unless other legitimate interests of the controller contradict erasure. Other legitimate interest in this sense includes a burden of proof in a proceeding under the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG; Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz), for example.

Due to the digitised recording of the applications received, the recipients of the personal data processed are our IT service providers (in particular hosters) with whom we have concluded corresponding data processing contracts in the sense of Art. 28 GDPR.

11. Transfer to third countries

Data transfers to countries where there is not an adequate level of data privacy ("third countries", i.e. States outside the European Union/European Economic Area) arise in the context of the administra-tion, development and operation of IT systems and only insofar as the transfer is permissible in prin-ciple and the special conditions for a transfer to a third country exist, in particular that the data im-porter guarantees an adequate level of data privacy in accordance with the EU standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to data processors in third countries.

3.4.1 AWIN Partner programme

Based on your explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, we use components provided by AWIN on our website. AWIN is a German affiliate network and acts as an interface between merchants and affiliates.

Affiliate marketing is an internet-based form of sales that allows commercial operators of websites, the so-called merchants or advertisers, to show advertising, which is usually remunerated via click or sale commissions, on third-party websites, which are also called sales partners, affiliates or publishers. The merchant makes available through the affiliate network an advertising medium, i.e. an advertising banner or other suitable means of internet advertising, which is subsequently incorporated for advertising by an affiliate on its own website or advertised via other channels, such as keyword advertising.

AWIN is operated by AWIN AG, Eichhornstraße 3, 10785 Berlin, Germany.

AWIN places a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. Cookies are explained above. AWIN’s tracking cookie does not store any personal data. Only the identification number of the affiliate, i.e. the partner mediating the potential customer, as well as the ordinal number of the visitor of a website and of the clicked advertising medium are stored. The purpose of the storage of this data is the processing of commission payments between a merchant and the affiliate, which are processed via the affiliate network, i.e. AWIN.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website, as described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting on the internet browser used and thereby permanently object to the setting of cookies. Applying this setting to the internet browser used would also prevent AWIN from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already placed by AWIN can be erased at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

You can access AWIN’s latest data protection guidelines at https://www.awin.com/de/rechtliches/privacy-policy.

4.1 Data processing for the purpose of concluding a contract

(1) Your personal data, which you provide to us during the booking process, is required for the con-clusion of a contract with us (e.g. details of the contractual partner) or is required by law (e.g. tax regulations). Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with you would be unable to be concluded.

These data shall include, where appropriate, the following information:

  • Form of address
  • Name

  • Address
  • Phone number
  • E-mail address
  • Booking number for the assignment of online payments
  • Total amount of the order
  • Credit card information
  • Reference on the PayPal account

(2) If you send us an enquiry by e-mail, via a contact form or make a reservation via our website before concluding a contract, we process the data received in this way to carry out pre-contractual measures and, for example, to answer your questions about our services or products.

(3) You can voluntarily create a customer account through which we can store your data for future purchases. When you create an account under "Registration", the data you provide will be stored revocably. You can always delete all other data, including your user account, in the customer area.

4.2 Contact forms

(1) If you voluntarily use our contact forms, you will be asked to provide your first name, last name, e-mail address, telephone number, if any, and the reason for your request/contact (message). Only your e-mail address is a mandatory field for your request. The information will be collected and stored solely in order to answer your request.

(2) The legal basis for processing your personal data is the consent you explicitly give pursuant to Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR, and our legitimate interest in responding to your query regarding our services or offers, and in verifying potential misuse of the e-mail addressed used for this purpose pursuant to Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR.

4.3 Newsletter

(1) With your consent and by stating your e-mail address, you can subscribe to our newsletter which will inform you of our latest interesting offers. The goods or services advertised are named in the declaration of consent. The only requirement for receiving the newsletter is that you provide your e-mail address.

(2) To register for our newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after you have registered, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address specified in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically erased after one month. In addition, we store your IP addresses and times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to prove your registration and, if necessary, to be able to investigate possible misuse of your personal data. After you confirm your order of the newsletter, we will store the information you provide in accordance with para. 2 for the purpose of sending the newsletter and to verify possible misuse of your e-mail address in accordance with para. 2.

(3) Furthermore, we make a performance measurement by attaching a so-called “web beacon” to each newsletter, i.e. a pixel-sized file which is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened. As part of this, information will be collected about the browser you are using, the ID of the click, your e-mail address and specific e-mailing information, your IP address or DNS name, and the time of retrieval. This information is used to improve the technical performance of services based on the technical data, or audiences and their reading habits based on their locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times. Statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is not our goal to observe individual users. Rather, the evaluations allow us to recognise the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

(4) The legal basis for processing your personal data is the consent you explicitly give pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR and, with respect to data processed according to para. 2, our legitimate interest in verifying potential misuse of the e-mail address used for this purposes pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

(5) You can withdrawal your consent to the sending of the newsletter and unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. You can declare withdrawal of consent by clicking on the link provided in each e-mail newsletter or by e-mail to newsletter@dortmund-airport.de or by sending a message to the contact details stated in the imprint.

(6) Your e-mail address will only be saved for newsletter delivery for the duration of the requested registration. The other data stored in accordance with para. 1 will be erased by us after a maximum of one month after your cancellation.

(7) Recipients of the data processed pursuant to this provision are IT service providers (esp. hosts) with whom we have concluded corresponding order processing agreements pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.

To send our newsletters, we use the technical infrastructure of Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) from the provider Amazon Web Services (AWS), Inc. (410 Terry Avenue North, Seattle WA 98109, United States).

5. Profiles in Social Networks (Social Media)

We maintain online presences within social networks and process user data in this context in order to communicate with the users active there or to offer information about us.

We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may entail risks for users, e.g. by making it more difficult to enforce users' rights.

In addition, user data is usually processed within social networks for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created on the basis of user behaviour and the associated interests of users. The user profiles can then be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the networks which are presumed to correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the user's computer, in which the user's usage behaviour and interests are stored. Furthermore, data can be stored in the user profiles independently of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective networks or will become members later on).

For a detailed description of the respective processing operations and the opt-out options, please refer to the respective data protection declarations and information provided by the providers of the respective networks.

Also in the case of requests for information and the exercise of rights of data subjects, we point out that these can be most effectively pursued with the providers. Only the providers have access to the data of the users and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. If you still need help, please do not hesitate to contact us.
