Data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, unless legal retention obligations prevent deletion and no other specific statements are made below.

Server Data
For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable website, data is transmitted to us or our web hosting provider via your browser. This includes server log files such as the type and version of your browser, operating system, referrer URL, pages visited, date and time of access, and IP address. These data are temporarily stored, but not together with other personal data. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving, stabilizing, functionality, and security. Data is deleted after 7 days unless further retention is required for evidence purposes. In that case, data will be retained until the incident is fully resolved.

User Data
We process the following user data: name, email address, as well as club information including name, country, federation, league, age group. It is not mandatory to provide your date of birth. Club information is not considered personal data. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Personal data is not shared with third parties. Personal data is deleted after contract termination and expiration of statutory retention periods.

Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics from Google Ireland Ltd. Google Analytics helps analyze user behavior, including page views, time on site, OS, origin, and more. This data is linked to a User ID. Mouse/scroll activity and clicks may be recorded. Google may use modeling and machine learning for data analysis. Data is typically transferred to the US and stored there. We use EU standard contractual clauses for data transfers. IP anonymization is active, so your IP is shortened before transmission. Google processes data on our behalf. Your IP is not merged with other Google data. You can block data collection using the browser plugin at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. More details: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245. We've signed a processing agreement with Google and comply with German data protection laws.
