Declaration. Whenever you use this website, a variety of
personal information will be collected. Personal data

The data processing controller on this
website is:
All Areas Backline-Rental & Tourservice
CEO Rolf Pfau
Lichtensteiner Weg 30
D-96126 Altenstein
Deutschland
Phone: +49 172 7113537
E-mail: info@all-areas-backline.de

of personal data (e.g., names, e-mail addresses, etc.).
Storage duration
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified
in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain
with us until the purpose for which it was collected no
longer applies. If you assert a justified request for
deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your
data will be deleted, unless we have other legally
permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g.,
tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter

cease to apply.
General information on the legal basis for
the data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process

Information on data transfer to the USA and
other non-EU countries
Among other things, we use tools of companies
domiciled in the United States or other from a data
protection perspective non-secure non-EU countries. If
these tools are active, your personal data may
potentially be transferred to these non-EU countries and
may be processed there. We must point out that in
these countries, a data protection level that is
comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed. For
instance, U.S. enterprises are under a mandate to
release personal data to the security agencies and you
as the data subject do not have any litigation options to
defend yourself in court. Hence, it cannot be ruled out
that U.S. agencies (e.g., the Secret Service) may
process, analyze, and permanently archive your
personal data for surveillance purposes. We have no
control over these processing activities.
Revocation of your consent to the
processing of data
A wide range of data processing transactions are
possible only subject to your express consent. You can
also revoke at any time any consent you have already
given us. This shall be without prejudice to the
lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to
your revocation.
Right to object to the collection of data in special cases;
right to object to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE
BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE
RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING
OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS
ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO
APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE
PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON
WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE
CONSULT THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF
YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER
PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS
WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING
PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE
PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR
INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE
PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING,
EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS
(OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN
ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU
HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF
YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES
OF SUCH ADVERTISING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO
APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS
AFFILIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU
OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY
NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING
PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2)
GDPR).
Right to log a complaint with the competent
supervisory agency
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are
entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory agency, in
particular in the member state where they usually
maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place
where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a
complaint is in effect regardless of any other
administrative or court proceedings available as legal
recourses.
Right to data portability
You have the right to demand that we hand over any
data we automatically process on the basis of your
consent or in order to fulfil a contract be handed over to
you or a third party in a commonly used, machine
readable format. If you should demand the direct
transfer of the data to another controller, this will be
done only if it is technically feasible.
Information about, rectification and
eradication of data
Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions,
you have the right to at any time demand information
about your archived personal data, their source and
recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of
your data. You may also have a right to have your data
rectified or eradicated. If you have questions about this
subject matter or any other questions about personal
data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.
Right to demand processing restrictions
You have the right to demand the imposition of
restrictions as far as the processing of your personal
data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any
time. The right to demand restriction of processing
applies in the following cases:
•
In the event that you should dispute the correctness
of your data archived by us, we will usually need
some time to verify this claim. During the time that
this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to
demand that we restrict the processing of your
personal data.
•
If the processing of your personal data was/is
conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the
option to demand the restriction of the processing of
your data in lieu of demanding the eradication of this
data.
•
If we do not need your personal data any longer and
you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal
entitlements, you have the right to demand the
restriction of the processing of your personal data
instead of its eradication.
•
If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art.
21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to
be weighed against each other. As long as it has not
been determined whose interests prevail, you have
the right to demand a restriction of the processing of
your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal
data, these data – with the exception of their archiving
– may be processed only subject to your consent or to
claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to
protect the rights of other natural persons or legal
entities or for important public interest reasons cited by
the European Union or a member state of the EU.
SSL and/or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of
confidential content, such as purchase orders or
inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this
website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption
program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by
checking whether the address line of the browser
switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the
appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.
If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you
transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Rejection of unsolicited e-mails
We herewith object to the use of contact information
published in conjunction with the mandatory
information to be provided in our Site Notice to send us
promotional and information material that we have not
expressly requested. The operators of this website and
its pages reserve the express right to take legal action
in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional
information, for instance via SPAM messages.
4. Recording of data on this website
Cookies
Our websites and pages use what the industry refers to
as “cookies.” Cookies are small data packages that do
not cause any damage to your device. They are either
stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session

Permanent cookies remain archived on your device until
you actively delete them, or they are automatically
eradicated by your web browser. In some cases, it is
possible that third-party cookies are stored on your

These cookies enable you or us to take advantage of
certain services offered by the third party (e.g., cookies
for the processing of payment services). Cookies have a
variety of functions. Many cookies are technically
essential since certain website functions would not work
in the absence of the cookies (e.g., the shopping cart
function or the display of videos). The purpose of other
cookies may be the analysis of user patterns or the
display of promotional messages. Cookies, which are
required for the performance of electronic
communication transactions, or for the provision of
certain functions you want to use (e.g., for the shopping
cart function) or those that are necessary for the
optimization (required cookies) of the website (e.g.,
cookies that provide measurable insights into the web
audience), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f)
GDPR, unless a different legal basis is cited. The
operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the
storage of required cookies to ensure the technically
error free and optimized provision of the operator’s
services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies
and similar recognition technologies has been
requested, processing occurs exclusively on the basis of
the consent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1)
TTDSG); this consent may be revoked at any time. You
have the option to set up your browser in such a
manner that you will be notified any time cookies are
placed and to permit the acceptance of cookies only in
specific cases. You may also exclude the acceptance of
cookies in certain cases or in general or activate the
delete function for the automatic eradication of cookies
when the browser closes. If cookies are deactivated, the
functions of this website may be limited. In the event
that third-party cookies are used or if cookies are used
for analytical purposes, we will separately notify you in
conjunction with this Data Protection Policy and, if
applicable, ask for your consent.

This website uses the consent technology of
Usercentrics to obtain your consent to the storage of

or until the purpose for archiving the data no longer
exists. This shall be without prejudice to any mandatory
legal retention periods.
Usercentrics uses cookies to obtain the declarations of
consent mandated by law. The legal basis for the use of
specific technologies is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
Data processing
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA)
for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a

server log files must be recorded.
Contact form
If you submit inquiries to us via our contact form, the
information provided in the contact form as well as any
contact information provided therein will be stored by us
in order to handle your inquiry and in the event that we
have further questions. We will not share this
information without your consent. The processing of
these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your
request is related to the execution of a contract or if it is
necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all
other cases the processing is based on our legitimate
interest in the effective processing of the requests
addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your
agreement (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been
requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.
The information you have entered into the contact form
shall remain with us until you ask us to eradicate the

prejudice to any mandatory legal provisions, in
particular retention periods.
Request by e-mail, telephone, or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your

purpose of processing your request. We do not pass
these data on without your consent. These data are

required for the performance of pre-contractual
measures. In all other cases, the data are processed on
the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective
handling of inquiries submitted to us (Art. 6(1)(f)
GDPR) or on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)
GDPR) if it has been obtained; the consent can be
revoked at any time. The data sent by you to us via
contact requests remain with us until you request us to
delete, revoke your consent to the storage or the
purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after
completion of your request). Mandatory statutory
provisions - in particular statutory retention periods -
remain unaffected.

6. Analysis tools and advertising
Google Tag Manager
We use the Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google
Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4,
Ireland
The Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to
integrate tracking or statistical tools and other
technologies on our website. The Google Tag Manager
itself does not create any user profiles, does not store
cookies, and does not carry out any independent
analyses. It only manages and runs the tools integrated
via it. However, the Google Tag Manager does collect
your IP address, which may also be transferred to
Google’s parent company in the United States. The
Google Tag Manager is used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f)
GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in
the quick and uncomplicated integration and
administration of various tools on his website. If
appropriate consent has been obtained, the processing
is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a)
GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes
the storage of cookies or the access to information in
the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within
the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent can be revoked
at any time.
7. Plug-ins and Tools
YouTube with expanded data protection
integration
Our website embeds videos of the website YouTube. The
website operator is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”),
Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. We use
YouTube in the expanded data protection mode.
According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube
does not store any information about visitors to this
website before they watch the video. Nevertheless, this
does not necessarily mean that the sharing of data with
YouTube partners can be ruled out as a result of the
expanded data protection mode. For instance,
regardless of whether you are watching a video,
YouTube will always establish a connection with the
Google DoubleClick network. As soon as you start to
play a YouTube video on this website, a connection to
YouTube’s servers will be established. As a result, the
YouTube server will be notified, which of our pages you
have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube
account while you visit our site, you enable YouTube to
directly allocate your browsing patterns to your personal
profile. You have the option to prevent this by logging
out of your YouTube account. Furthermore, after you
have started to play a video, YouTube will be able to
place various cookies on your device or comparable
technologies for recognition (e.g. device fingerprinting).
In this way YouTube will be able to obtain information
about this website’s visitors. Among other things, this
information will be used to generate video statistics with
the aim of improving the user friendliness of the site
and to prevent attempts to commit fraud. Under certain
circumstances, additional data processing transactions
may be triggered after you have started to play a
YouTube video, which are beyond our control. The use
of YouTube is based on our interest in presenting our
online content in an appealing manner. Pursuant to Art.
6(1)(f) GDPR, this is a legitimate interest. If appropriate
consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out
exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25
(1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of
cookies or the access to information in the user’s end
device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning
of the TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time.
For more information on how YouTube handles user
data, please consult the YouTube Data Privacy Policy
under: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
Google Fonts (local embedding)
This website uses so-called Google Fonts provided by
Google to ensure the uniform use of fonts on this site.
These Google fonts are locally installed so that a
connection to Google’s servers will not be established in
conjunction with this application. For more information
on Google Fonts, please follow this link:
https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and consult
Google’s Data Privacy Declaration under:
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
Google Maps
This website uses the mapping service Google Maps.

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter referred to as

to determine whether data entered on this website
(e.g., information entered into a contact form) is being
provided by a human user or by an automated program.
To determine this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of
the website visitors based on a variety of parameters.
This analysis is triggered automatically as soon as the
website visitor enters the site. For this analysis,
reCAPTCHA evaluates a variety of data (e.g., IP address,
time the website visitor spent on the site or cursor
movements initiated by the user). The data tracked
during such analyses are forwarded to Google.
reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background.
Website visitors are not alerted that an analysis is
underway. Data are stored and analyzed on the basis of
Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a
legitimate interest in the protection of the operator’s
websites against abusive automated spying and against
SPAM. If appropriate consent has been obtained, the
processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art.
6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent
includes the storage of cookies or the access to
information in the user’s end device (e.g., device
fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. This
consent can be revoked at any time. For more
