Thank you for your interest in our services. This privacy policy is to inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we process and your rights as a data subject.

Introduction
This privacy policy is to inform you about how and for what purpose we collect, process and use personal data when you use our websites, apps and other services offered by us. Protecting your personal data is very important to us. We always treat it confidentially and in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / General Data Protection Regulation), (BDSG / German Federal Data Protection Act), the German Digital Services Act (DDG, formerly TMG / German Telemedia Act, of the Federal Republic of Germany, Federal Republic of Germany) and the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG, Federal Republic of Germany).

About the applicable laws:

• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): EU-wide regulation that standardises and regulates the protection of personal data.
• Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG): National supplement to the GDPR for Germany.
• Digital Services Act (DDG, formerly TMG): Regulates, among other things, the obligations of digital service providers (e.g. imprint obligations, liability issues).
• Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG): Regulates data protection and privacy in the area of telecommunications and digital services.

1. A) General information on data processing
2. We collect, process and use personal data only to the extent necessary for the provision of our services or if you have given us your consent to do so. Personal data is information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person, e.g. name, address, email address, telephone number or IP address.
3. Purposes and legal bases:
4. We process your data for the following purposes:

• Fulfilment of contracts (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR)
• Fulfilment of legal obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR)
• Protection of legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), e.g. to ensure a secure online offering
• On the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), e.g. when using cookies for analysis purposes

When using programme content via smart speakers (Alexa, Google Play), "THE FORT WORTH PRESS" content is accessed directly. In this case, our system automatically collects the following data from the computer system of the accessing device and stores it in log files:

• name of the accessed file,
• date and time of access,
• amount of data transferred,
• notification of successful retrieval,
• browser type and version used,
• IP address (user device identifier),
• user operating system,
• user internet service provider,
• websites from which the user's system accesses our online services,
• websites accessed by the user's system via our website.

This data is not merged with other data sources. The legal basis for the collection of data and its storage in log files is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. What you communicate with voice assistants is recorded by your device and stored as an audio file in a cloud. When using the other platforms and services, it cannot be ruled out that personal data may also be transferred to the USA, as these providers store data on servers there. According to the findings of the ECJ in the decision on the Privacy Shield (judgment in the case C-311/18 ‘Schrems II’), the level of data protection in the USA is lower than in the area covered by the GDPR. However, THE FORT WORTH PRESS does not transfer any of your personal data or cause such a transfer to take place because you have regularly consented to such data processing by the service providers on the basis of your registration or subscription with them.

"THE FORT WORTH PRESS" stores your personal data at the time of data collection, for example, in the context of a contractual relationship for the fulfilment of mutually owed services and obligations or in the exercise of domestic authority and any associated legitimate security interests. This could be, for example: Name, contact details, date of birth, bank details, employer, client, ID card or driving licence data, data relevant to building security, such as images of persons from video-monitored access areas and other access data, images or film recordings at concerts or other events of "THE FORT WORTH PRESS".

Personal data is processed for a variety of purposes and always on a lawful basis, for example: contract initiation and fulfilment (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO / GDPR), e.g. to:

• grant you access to our property and premises in the context of contractual relationships or at events or to use the canteen,
• provide you with a service you have requested (e.g. newsletter, programme booklet, personalised access to certain internet offers),
• to enable participation in a competition or lottery, protection of vital interests of a data subject (Art. 6 para. 1 d) GDPR), for example, inspection and disclosure of personal data in the event of an accident if the data subject is unable to provide information; fulfilling the "THE FORT WORTH PRESS" newspaper's broadcasting and programming mandate as a task that is in the public interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e) GDPR), for example, processing listener mail or programme complaints; safeguarding the legitimate interests of "THE FORT WORTH PRESS" in consideration of the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR), for example, processing personal data for the external presentation of "THE FORT WORTH PRESS" or in the exercise of domestic authority (in particular security interests).
