Digital Services Act (DDG, formerly TMG): Regulates, among other things, the obligations of providers of digital services (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.

When using programme content via smart speakers (Alexa, Google Play), the "DUBAI TELEGRAPH" website is accessed directly. Our system automatically collects the following data from the computer system of the accessing device and stores it in log files:

Name of the retrieved file,
Date and time of the call,
amount of data transferred,
Notification of successful retrieval,
Type of browser and version used,
IP address (identifier of the user's device),
Operating system of the users,
Internet service provider of the users,
Websites from which the user's system accesses our online offering,
Websites that are 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 (General Data Protection Regulation). 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 will also be transferred to the USA, as these providers store data on servers there. According to the findings of the European Court of Justice in its ruling on the Privacy Shield (judgement in case C-311/18 "Schrems II"), the level of data protection in the USA is lower than within the scope of the GDPR. "DUBAI TELEGRAPH" does not transfer any personal data from you or initiate such a transfer, as you have regularly consented to such data processing by the service providers on the basis of your registration or registration with them.

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 domiciliary rights and any associated legitimate security interests, "DUBAI TELEGRAPH" stores your personal data. This may be, for example Name, contact details, date of birth, bank details, employer, client, identity card or driving licence data, data relevant to house security such as personal images from video-monitored access areas and other access data, images or film recordings at concerts or other "DUBAI TELEGRAPH" events.

Personal data is processed for very different purposes and always on a lawful basis, for example Contract initiation and fulfilment (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR - General Data Protection Regulation), e.g. to provide you with:

to be able to grant access to our property and premises within the scope of contractual relationships or at events or also for the use of the canteen, to be able to provide a service requested by you (e.g. newsletter, programme booklet, personalised access to certain Internet offers),
to enable participation in a competition or prize draw,

Protection of vital interests of a data subject (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d) GDPR - General Data Protection Regulation), e.g. inspection and disclosure of personal data in the event of an accident if the data subject is unable to provide information themselves; fulfilment of the broadcasting and programming mandate of the "DUBAI TELEGRAPH" as a task in the public interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e) GDPR), for example processing listener mail or programme complaints; safeguarding the legitimate interests of "DUBAI TELEGRAPH" in consideration of the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subjects (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR), for example processing personal data for the external presentation of "DUBAI TELEGRAPH" or in the exercise of domiciliary rights (in particular security interests).

B) Making contact
For enquiries by e-mail or telephone, we process your details (name, contact details, content of the enquiry) to answer your request (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).

C) Reservations and orders
For reservations and online orders, we process your data (name, contact details, payment details) in order to fulfil your orders (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).

D) Accounting and legal obligations

H) Storage period
Personal data is only stored for as long as is necessary for the respective purposes. Once the purpose no longer applies or statutory retention periods have expired, the data will be deleted.

If "DUBAI TELEGRAPH" also receives and processes personal data from you on the basis of voluntary consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 a), Art. 4 No. 11 GDPR - General Data Protection Regulation), you have the right to revoke such consent at any time for the future without giving reasons.

GDPR - General Data Protection Regulation). Under the conditions of Art. 20 GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), a right to data portability may come into consideration.
