2. The short version

We do not use cookies, tracking or third-party analytics tools. We measure reach solely from the log files of our own server (see section 3). No third-party content is loaded; even the fonts are served from our own web space. That is why there is no cookie banner.

3. Hosting on our own server

This website runs on a server that we operate ourselves. The server is located in a data centre operated by Host Europe GmbH, Köln. We have a data processing agreement with this provider under Art. 28 GDPR. When you open a page, the web server automatically stores access data in log files: IP address, date and time, the page requested, the amount of data transferred, the referrer and the browser identifier. We need this data to deliver the site and to detect attacks. It is not passed on to third parties. We also analyse the log files on the server statistically to measure the reach of the website: number of visits, pages viewed, country of origin, referring websites, browser and operating system. These statistics contain aggregated figures only and do not store complete IP addresses; they are truncated (the last block for IPv4, the last 80 bits for IPv6). We determine the country of origin using a database on our own server, without sending data to third parties.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the secure and reliable delivery of the website and measuring the reach of our service. The log files are deleted after 7 days unless they are needed for longer to investigate a security incident.

4. Contact by email or phone

If you contact us, we process the details you give us in order to answer your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for enquiries relating to a contract. Our mailbox runs on our own server. We delete the data once the enquiry has been dealt with and no statutory retention obligations apply.

5. Storage in your browser

By default this website stores nothing on your device. Only if you explicitly tick “Remember my selection on this device” in the filters do we save your filter selection in your browser's local storage (localStorage) so that it is set again on your next visit. This data does not leave your device. If you untick the box, we delete the entry immediately. The legal basis is Section 25(2) no. 2 of the German TDDDG, because the storage is strictly necessary for a function you have expressly requested.

The calendar export creates files and links directly in your browser. No data is sent to us in the process.

The note pointing to another country or language version, and the conversion of broadcast times into your time zone, are worked out by your browser from its own language and time zone settings. Nothing is stored and nothing is sent to us.

6. Links to providers

We link to broadcasters and streaming services. When you click such a link, you leave our website. The respective provider is responsible for data processing on the destination site.

7. Your rights

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18) and data portability (Art. 20). Where we process data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art. 21 GDPR). To exercise these rights, use the contact details above.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), for example the authority responsible for us, the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia (LDI NRW).

8. No automated decision-making

We do not make automated decisions and do not create profiles.

9. Visitors from the United Kingdom and the United States

We do not sell personal information, do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising and do not use it for targeted advertising. This website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The rights described in section 7 are open to you wherever you live; to exercise them, contact us using the details in section 1.
