General

Together with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect our databases as well as possible against unauthorised access, loss, misuse and falsification.

Please note that the transmission of data over the internet (for example when communicating by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

By using this website you consent to the collection, processing and use of data as described below. This website can in principle be visited without registering. Data such as the pages accessed or the names of files retrieved, the date and the time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without this data being related directly to you as a person. Where personal data (such as name, address or email addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

With SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the enquiries you send to us as the site operator, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the browser address line changing from «http://» to «https://» and by the padlock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL or TLS encryption is active, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Swiss Data Protection Act (DSG)

On the basis of Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Confederation (Data Protection Act, DSG), everyone has the right to privacy and to protection against the misuse of their personal data. The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

Compliance with the statutory provisions is supervised by the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.

Data protection provisions under the GDPR

Privacy policy

We are delighted that you are interested in our company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of Paintball Arena PBA AG. It is generally possible to use the websites of Paintball Arena PBA AG without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use particular services of our company via our website, processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in line with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to Paintball Arena PBA AG. By means of this privacy policy, our company wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed by means of this privacy policy of the rights to which they are entitled.

As the controller, Paintball Arena PBA AG has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of the personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can in principle have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Definitions

The privacy policy of Paintball Arena PBA AG is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be legible and understandable for the general public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

In this privacy policy we use, among others, the following terms:

a) personal data

  • Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter the “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b) data subject

  • Data subject means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

c) processing

  • Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) restriction of processing

  • Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

e) profiling

  • Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

f) pseudonymisation

  • Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) controller or controller responsible for the processing

  • Controller or controller responsible for the processing means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

h) processor

  • Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) recipient

  • Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

j) third party

  • Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

k) consent

  • Consent means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which they, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signify agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

2. Name and address of the controller

The controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in Member States of the European Union and other provisions related to data protection is:

Paintball Arena PBA AG

3. Cookies

The websites of Paintball Arena PBA AG use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified by means of the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, Paintball Arena PBA AG can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised with the user in mind. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. The user of a website that uses cookies does not, for example, have to enter their access data every time they visit the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart by means of a cookie.

The data subject may prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser used and may thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. Collection of general data and information

Each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system, the website of Paintball Arena PBA AG collects a series of general data and information. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-pages accessed on our website via an accessing system, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information that serves to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Paintball Arena PBA AG does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed in order to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by Paintball Arena PBA AG statistically on the one hand and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company on the other, in order ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Registration on our website

The data subject has the option of registering on the website of the controller by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller in the process is determined by the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for the data to be passed on to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who likewise uses the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller.

By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject, the date and the time of registration are also stored. This data is stored against the background that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and that this data makes it possible, if necessary, to solve criminal offences that have been committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to safeguard the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties as a matter of principle, unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the transfer serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject with the voluntary provision of personal data serves the controller in offering the data subject content or services that, by the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided at registration at any time, or to have it completely deleted from the controller’s data set.

The controller shall at any time, upon request, provide each data subject with information about which personal data is stored about them. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, provided that no statutory retention obligations conflict with this. All employees of the controller are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

6. Subscription to our newsletter

On the website of Paintball Arena PBA AG, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller when the newsletter is ordered is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.

Paintball Arena PBA AG informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about the offers of the company. The newsletter of our company can in principle only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter dispatch. For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent to the email address first entered by a data subject for the newsletter dispatch, using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to verify whether the owner of the email address, as the data subject, has authorised receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as assigned by the internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of a data subject’s email address at a later point in time, and therefore serves the legal protection of the controller.

The personal data collected in the course of registering for the newsletter is used exclusively to send our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for a registration relating to it, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical circumstances. There is no transfer of the personal data collected in the course of the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for the newsletter dispatch can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, a corresponding link can be found in every newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller, or to communicate this to the controller in another way.

7. Newsletter tracking

The newsletters of Paintball Arena PBA AG contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails that are sent in HTML format, in order to enable a log file record and a log file analysis. This makes it possible to carry out a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. On the basis of the embedded tracking pixel, Paintball Arena PBA AG can recognise whether and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links in the email were accessed by the data subject.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters is stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimise the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, this personal data is deleted by the controller. Paintball Arena PBA AG automatically interprets unsubscribing from the newsletter as a revocation.

8. Contact option via the website

Due to legal requirements, the website of Paintball Arena PBA AG contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller is stored for the purposes of processing the matter or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

9. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or where this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the statutory provisions.

10. Rights of the data subject

a) Right of confirmation

  • Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to make use of this right of confirmation, they may at any time contact an employee of the controller.

b) Right of access

  • Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller, free of charge and at any time, information about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information:
  • the purposes of the processing
  • the categories of personal data that are processed
  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations
  • where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
  • the existence of the right to request rectification or erasure of personal data concerning them, or restriction of processing by the controller, or to object to such processing
  • the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
  • where the personal data are not collected from the data subject: all available information as to their source
  • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and — at least in those cases — meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject

Furthermore, the data subject has a right of access as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to make use of this right of access, they may at any time contact an employee of the controller.

c) Right to rectification

  • Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have incomplete personal data completed — including by means of a supplementary statement.
  • If a data subject wishes to make use of this right to rectification, they may at any time contact an employee of the controller.

d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

  • Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without delay, where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:
  • The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
  • The data subject withdraws the consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.
  • The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
  • The personal data was processed unlawfully.
  • The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
  • The personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8(1) GDPR.

If one of the above grounds applies and a data subject wishes to arrange for the erasure of personal data stored at Paintball Arena PBA AG, they may at any time contact an employee of the controller. The employee of Paintball Arena PBA AG will arrange for the erasure request to be complied with without delay.

Where the personal data has been made public by Paintball Arena PBA AG and our company as controller is obliged to erase the personal data pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR, Paintball Arena PBA AG shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by those other controllers of any links to, or copies or replications of, that personal data, insofar as the processing is not necessary. The employee of Paintball Arena PBA AG will arrange what is necessary in each individual case.

e) Right to restriction of processing

  • Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the restriction of processing where one of the following conditions applies:
  • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
  • The processing is unlawful, the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use.
  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
  • The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the above conditions applies and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored at Paintball Arena PBA AG, they may at any time contact an employee of the controller. The employee of Paintball Arena PBA AG will arrange for the restriction of the processing.

f) Right to data portability

  • Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which was provided to a controller by the data subject, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data was provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
  • Furthermore, in exercising the right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
  • To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact an employee of Paintball Arena PBA AG.

g) Right to object

  • Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
  • In the event of an objection, Paintball Arena PBA AG will no longer process the personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
  • Where Paintball Arena PBA AG processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purposes of such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Paintball Arena PBA AG processing for direct marketing purposes, Paintball Arena PBA AG will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
  • In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them which is carried out at Paintball Arena PBA AG for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
  • To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of Paintball Arena PBA AG directly, or another employee. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

  • Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing — including profiling — which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is not authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) is not based on the data subject’s explicit consent.
  • If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, Paintball Arena PBA AG shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, which shall include at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view and to contest the decision.
  • If the data subject wishes to assert rights concerning automated decisions, they may at any time contact an employee of the controller.

i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

  • Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
  • If the data subject wishes to assert their right to withdraw consent, they may at any time contact an employee of the controller.

11. Data protection for applications and in the application procedure

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. The processing may also take place electronically. This is the case in particular where an applicant submits corresponding application documents electronically, for example by email or via a web form on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data is stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the controller, the application documents are automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller conflict with such deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

12. Data protection provisions on the use of Facebook

The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is an internet-based social meeting place, an online community that generally allows users to communicate with one another and to interact in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences, or it allows the internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook allows the users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller for the processing of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. In the course of this technical procedure, Facebook is informed which specific sub-page of our website is being visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognises, each time our website is accessed by the data subject and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website, which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the “Like” button, or if the data subject posts a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the time of accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want such information to be transmitted to Facebook, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

13. Data protection provisions on the use of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)

The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analytics service collects data about the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrer), which sub-pages of the website were accessed, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics is used predominantly to optimise a website and to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

For web analytics via Google Analytics, the controller uses the addition «_gat._anonymizeIp». By means of this addition, the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection is truncated and anonymised by Google if our websites are accessed from a Member State of the European Union or from another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse visitor flows on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our websites, and to provide further services connected with the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. In the course of this technical procedure, Google obtains knowledge of personal data such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.

By means of the cookie, personal information such as the access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject is stored. Each time our websites are visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transferred to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.

As already described above, the data subject may prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser used, and may thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of the data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google. To do so, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is regarded by Google as an objection. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or by another person attributable to their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

14. Data protection provisions on the use of Google AdWords

The controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads both in Google search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to define certain keywords in advance, by means of which an ad is displayed in Google search engine results exclusively when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result with the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed across topic-relevant websites by means of an automatic algorithm and in accordance with the previously defined keywords.

The operating company of the Google AdWords services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to advertise our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine, and to display third-party advertising on our website.

If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored by Google on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie expires after thirty days and does not serve to identify the data subject. Provided the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to trace whether certain sub-pages, for example the shopping cart of an online shop system, were accessed on our website. By means of the conversion cookie, both we and Google can trace whether a data subject who reached our website via an AdWords ad generated a sale, that is to say completed or cancelled a purchase.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users referred to us via AdWords ads, that is to say to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimise our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertising customers receive information from Google by means of which the data subject could be identified.

By means of the conversion cookie, personal information such as the websites visited by the data subject is stored. Each time our websites are visited, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is therefore transferred to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.

As already described above, the data subject may prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser used, and may thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

The data subject also has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do so, the data subject must open the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.

15. Data protection provisions on the use of Instagram

The controller has integrated components of the Instagram service on this website. Instagram is a service that qualifies as an audiovisual platform and allows users to share photos and videos and, in addition, to redistribute such data in other social networks.

The operating company of the Instagram services is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the controller and on which an Instagram component (Insta button) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Instagram component to download a representation of the corresponding component from Instagram. In the course of this technical procedure, Instagram is informed which specific sub-page of our website is being visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to Instagram at the same time, Instagram recognises, each time our website is accessed by the data subject and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website, which specific sub-page the data subject is visiting. This information is collected by the Instagram component and assigned by Instagram to the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, the data and information thereby transmitted is assigned to the personal Instagram user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Instagram.

Instagram always receives information via the Instagram component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged in to Instagram at the time of accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Instagram component or not. If the data subject does not want such information to be transmitted to Instagram, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Instagram account before accessing our website.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Instagram can be found at https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 and https://www.instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.

16. Data protection provisions on the use of YouTube

The controller has integrated components of YouTube on this website. YouTube is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them, likewise free of charge. YouTube permits the publication of all kinds of videos, which is why complete films and television programmes, but also music videos, trailers and videos made by users themselves, can be accessed via the internet portal.

The operating company of YouTube is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. In the course of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google are informed which specific sub-page of our website is being visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognises, when a sub-page containing a YouTube video is accessed, which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.

YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the time of accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not want such information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their YouTube account before accessing our website.

The data protection provisions published by YouTube, available at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

17. Data protection provisions on the use of our AI chat

An AI-assisted chat is available on this website and in the booking area; it answers questions about prices, opening hours, events and bookings. The chat is operated by Paintball Arena PBA AG. Its answers are generated by a language model and can be wrong; only the information on this website and our written confirmations are binding. Using the chat is voluntary — the same information is available by telephone or e-mail.

What data is processed. Only the content you enter into the chat yourself is processed, together with technical details (language, time, IP address for abuse prevention). Please do not enter payment details or sensitive personal data.

Where the data goes. In order to answer them, your messages are transmitted to Anthropic (Claude, obtained via Amazon Web Services) and processed outside Switzerland. Your input is not used to train AI models.

How long it is stored. We do not store conversation histories permanently. The history resides solely in your browser (sessionStorage) and is deleted when the tab is closed. We record technical figures such as the number of requests, duration and cost, without message content.

If you leave an enquiry. If you provide your name, an e-mail address or a telephone number in the chat for an event enquiry, we store those details and forward them by e-mail to our customer service in order to process your enquiry.

Legal basis. The processing is based on our legitimate interest in answering customer enquiries simply (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If you provide contact details for an enquiry, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR applies in addition. For access, rectification and erasure: kundendienst@paintballarena-bern.ch.

18. Legal basis of the processing

Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case for example with processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures, for instance in the case of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, for example to fulfil tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties. The processing would then be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal ground where the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override them. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 GDPR).

19. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

20. Period for which the personal data is stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the period expires, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the performance or initiation of a contract.

21. Statutory or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide it

We wish to inform you that the provision of personal data is in part required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also arise from contractual arrangements (e.g. details of the contracting party). Sometimes, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is obliged, for example, to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will explain to the data subject, on a case-by-case basis, whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or by contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of failure to provide the personal data would be.

22. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
