3. General information and mandatory information
Data protection
The operators of this website and its pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Hence,
we handle your personal data as confidential information and in compliance with the statutory data
protection regulations and this Data Protection Declaration.
Whenever you use this website, a variety of personal information will be collected. Personal data comprises
data that can be used to personally identify you. This Data Protection Declaration explains which data we
collect as well as the purposes we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which purpose the
information is collected.
We herewith advise you that the transmission of data via the Internet (i.e., through e-mail communications)
may be prone to security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data against third-party access.
Information about the responsible party (referred to as the “controller” in the GDPR)
The data processing controller on this website is:
Contour Festival Organisations GmbH
diese vertreten durch den Geschäftsführer Karl-Heinz Brozi
Hemmelrather Weg 241
51377 Leverkusen - Deutschland
Phone: 0711 23 85 0 50
E-mail: info@summerjam.de
The controller is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or jointly with others makes
decisions as to the purposes of and resources for the processing 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 case, the deletion will take place after these reasons 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 your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or
Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9 (1) DSGVO. In the case of
explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art.
49 (1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information in your end
device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally based on § 25 (1) TDDDG. The
consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the
implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Furthermore, if your data is required for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, we process it on the basis of Art.
6(1)(c) GDPR. Furthermore, the data processing may be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest
according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in
the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Information on the data transfer to third-party countries that are not secure under data
protection law and the transfer to US companies that are not DPF-certified
We use, among other technologies, tools from companies located in third-party countries that are not safe
under data protection law, as well as US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data
Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are enabled, your personal data may be transferred to and
processed in these countries. We would like you to note that no level of data protection comparable to that
in the EU can be guaranteed in third countries that are insecure in terms of data protection law.
We would like to point out that the US, as a secure third-party country, generally has a level of data
protection comparable to that of the EU. Data transfer to the US is therefore permitted if the recipient is
certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has appropriate additional assurances.
Information on transfers to third-party countries, including the data recipients, can be found in this Privacy
Policy.
Recipients of personal data
In the scope of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties. In some cases, this also
requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external
parties if this is required as part of the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g.,
disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(f)
GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure of this data. When using processors, we only disclose
personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid contract on data processing. In the case of joint
processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
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 have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of
a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, 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 demand information about
your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data
at any time. 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 instead 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.
Encrypted payment transactions on this website
If you are under an obligation to share your payment information (e.g. account number if you give us the
authority to debit your bank account) with us after you have entered into a fee-based contract with us, this
information is required to process payments.
Payment transactions using common modes of paying (Visa/MasterCard, debit to your bank account) are
processed exclusively via encrypted SSL or TLS connections. 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 communication with us is encrypted, third parties will not be able to read the payment information you
share with us.
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 cookies) or they are permanently archived on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are
automatically deleted once you terminate your visit. Permanent cookies remain archived on your device
until you actively delete them, or they are automatically eradicated by your web browser.
Cookies can be issued by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies).
Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies into websites (e.g.,
cookies for handling payment services).
Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are technically essential since certain website functions
would not work in the absence of these cookies (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos).
Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for promotional purposes.
Cookies, which are required for the performance of electronic communication transactions, 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, the processing occurs exclusively on the basis of
the consent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG); 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.
Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

browser to be able to allocate the granted consent or revocation. The data generated using this system will
be archived by us until you ask us to delete it, delete the CCM19 cookie yourself or the purpose for the
archiving of the data no longer applies. This shall be without prejudice to any mandatory statutory archiving
periods.
We use CCM19 to obtain the consent mandated by law for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art.6
(1)(1)(f) GDPR.

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
data, revoke your consent to the archiving of data or if the purpose for which the information is being
archived no longer exists (e.g., after we have concluded our response to your inquiry). This shall be without
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 request, including all resulting personal data (name,
request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass these
data on without your consent.
These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a

To measure conversion rates, this website uses the visitor activity pixel of Meta. The provider of this service
is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. According to Meta’s statement

7. Newsletter
Newsletter data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as
well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that
you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected or only on a voluntary basis. For the
handling of the newsletter, we use newsletter service providers, which are described below.
Mailjet
This website uses Mailjet for sending newsletters. The provider is Mailgun Technologies Inc., 112 E Pecan Sr.
#1135, San Antonio, Texas 78205, USA.
Mailjet is a service with which, among other things, the dispatch of newsletters can be organized and
analyzed. The data entered by you for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored on the servers
of Mailjet.
Data analysis by Mailjet
With the aid of Mailjet we are able to analyze our newsletter campaigns. For example, we can see if a
newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked. In this way, we can determine which
links have been clicked particularly often.
We can also see whether certain previously defined actions were performed after opening/clicking
(conversion rate). For example, we can tell if you have made a purchase after clicking on the newsletter.
Mailjet also allows us to classify newsletter recipients into different categories (“clusters”). For example, the
newsletter recipients can be subdivided according to age, gender, or place of residence. In this way, the
newsletters can be better adapted to the respective target groups. If you do not want Mailjet to analyze you,
you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every
newsletter message. Furthermore, you can unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.
For detailed information on the functions of Mailjet, please refer to the following link:

Storage period
The data deposited with us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you
unsubscribe from the newsletter or the newsletter service provider and deleted from the newsletter
distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored for other purposes with us remain
unaffected.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the
newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if such action is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data
from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and not merged with other data. This serves both your
interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate
interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is indefinite. You may object to
the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
