Note on publication:

We would like to point out that in particular the data in the results lists and media coverage are only partially the responsibility of SCC EVENTS GmbH. In particular, printed products such as daily newspapers or live broadcasts via radio and television are subject to reporting in the public interest due to the competitive character of this sporting event, so that the rights of individual affected persons do not fundamentally prevail. Therefore, please contact us directly if you have any questions or requests regarding these topics: Revocation of a consent or objection to data processing in the case of publication of names, images or result lists on the websites and social media appearances of SCC, on video platforms, on websites and social media channels of other operators (sponsors, associations, photo and video service providers), in the press or in media reports.

Please note that in the context of archiving for journalistic or statistical purposes, result lists or records may be stored worldwide beyond these specified periods (Art. 85 and Art. 89 GDPR).

After the publication of personal data, the data can be accessed worldwide on the Internet. Further distribution or indexing by search engines or copying by third parties is possible. A deletion of these data cannot be guaranteed continuously.

In general, when publishing personal data on the Internet (regardless of the platform selected), it cannot be ruled out that the data may also be accessed from countries that do not have an adequate level of data protection. A permitted publication of personal data on the Internet does not constitute a transfer of personal data to a third country in this sense.

6. Transfer of data to a third country or international organisation

We sometimes transfer personal data to third countries or to international organisations. A list of these services and service providers that may be used in connection with booking and participation in the above-mentioned sporting event is provided below in this document.

Third countries are those countries outside the EEA where the GDPR is not directly applicable. The level of data protection is not comparable with that in the EU. To compensate for the existing data protection deficit in the absence of an adequacy decision, we have agreed further suitable guarantees for the processing of personal data with the service providers concerned in the third country or with the international organisation in addition to the standard data protection clauses, so that the data protection standards for these data transfers are compatible with the legal data protection provisions of the EU and adequate protection is ensured when processing personal data.

7. Voluntary nature and obligation to provide personal data

Registration and participation in the sports event is always voluntary. In the case of participation, the data required for the organisation and realisation of the sports event in accordance with the terms of participation and contractually stipulated must be provided. Failure to provide the data will result in the inability to participate in the drawing and the sporting event. The terms of participation for our sports event are available at: https://login.scc-events.com/s/terms-participation.

Prerequisite for the registration to our sports event is the existence of an active user account in our online booking portal https://login.scc-events.com/s/ according to the General Terms and Conditions (GTC) https://login.scc-events.com/s/terms-conditions. Processing activities in connection with the online booking portal are described in the data protection information for the user account, available at: https://www.scc-events.com/en/privacy-information.

If requested information is voluntary, we have marked this information in the respective survey form and in the terms of participation. You can revoke the processing of personal data on the basis of consent at any time for the future.

8. Automated decision making, profiling

Automated decision-making in the sense of Art. 22 DSGVO is not carried out.

“Profiling” is a form of automated processing of personal data using the assessment of personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular for the purpose of analysing or predicting the performance of work, economic situation, health, personal preferences or interests, reliability or conduct, whereabouts or change of location of the data subject, where this produces legal effects concerning the data subject or significantly affects him/her in a similar way. Your data will not be processed by SCC EVENTS GmbH for the purpose of profiling.
