The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offer by the user is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
2. Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active ).
3. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offer and to provide us with further services related to the use of this online offer and the internet usage. In this case, pseudonymous usage profiles of the users can be created from the processed data.
4. We use Google Analytics to display advertisements displayed within Google and its affiliate advertising services, only those users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (eg interests in specific topics or products visited by them) Web pages) that we submit to Google (so-called "remarketing" or "Google Analytics audiences"). With Remarketing Audiences, we also want to make sure that our ads are in line with the potential interest of users and are not annoying.
5. We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that the IP address of the users will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there.
6. The IP address submitted by the user's browser will not be merged with other data provided by Google. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly; Users may also prevent the collection by Google of the data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the online offer and the processing of such data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de .
7. For more information about data usage by Google, setting and contradictory options, visit the websites of Google: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners ( "How Google uses data when you use websites or apps of our partners"), http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads ( "Use of data for advertising purposes"), http://www.google.de/settings/ads ("Managing information that Google uses to show you advertising").
Google Re / marketing services
1. We use the marketing and remarketing services (“Google Marketing” for short) on the basis of our legitimate interests (ie interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO). -Services”) of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, (“Google”).
2. Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active ).
3. The Google Marketing Services allow us to display advertisements for and on our website in a more targeted manner in order to only present users with ads that potentially correspond to their interests. If, for example, a user is shown advertisements for products that they are interested in on other websites, this is referred to as "remarketing". For these purposes, when you visit our and other websites on which Google marketing services are active, Google immediately executes a code from Google and so-called (re) marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also as “web Beacons ”) in the website. With their help, an individual cookie, ie a small file, is stored on the user's device (instead of cookies, comparable technologies can also be used). Cookies can be set by various domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. This file notes which websites the user visits, what content he is interested in and which offers he has clicked on, as well as technical information on the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information on the use of the online offer. The IP address of the user is also recorded, whereby we inform Google Analytics that the IP address is shortened within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and only in exceptional cases entirely to one Google servers in the USA and shortened there. The IP address is not merged with user data within other Google offers. Google may also combine the above information with such information from other sources. If the user then visits other websites, the advertisements tailored to his interests can be displayed.
4. The data of the users are pseudonym processed in the context of the Google marketing services. For example, Google does not store and process users' names or e-mail addresses, but processes the relevant data in a cookie-related manner within pseudonymous user profiles. That is, from the perspective of Google, the ads are not managed and displayed to a specifically identified person, but to the cookie owner, regardless of who that cookie owner is. This does not apply if a user has explicitly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymization. The information collected about users through Google Marketing Services is transmitted to Google and stored on Google's servers in the United States.
5. Among the Google marketing services we use is the online advertising program "Google AdWords". In the case of Google AdWords, each advertiser receives a different "conversion cookie". Cookies can not be tracked through AdWords advertisers' websites. The information collected through the cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Advertisers will see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users.
6. We can integrate third-party advertisements based on the Google marketing service “DoubleClick”. DoubleClick uses cookies that enable Google and its partner websites to place ads based on visits by users to this website or other websites on the Internet.
7. We can incorporate third-party ads based on the Google AdSense marketing service. AdSense uses cookies that enable Google and its affiliate websites to serve ads based on users' visits to this site or other sites on the Internet.
8. We can also use the "Google Optimizer" service. Google Optimizer allows us to understand how various changes to a website affect (eg changes to the input fields, design, etc.) as part of so-called “A / B testing”. Cookies are stored on users' devices for these test purposes. Only pseudonymous user data is processed.
9. We can also use the “Google Tag Manager” to integrate and manage the Google analysis and marketing services on our website.
10. For more information about Google's data usage for marketing purposes, see the overview page: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads , Google's privacy policy is under https://www.google.com/policies/privacy accessible.
11. If you wish to opt-out of interest-based advertising through Google Marketing Services, you can take advantage of Google's recruitment and opt-out options: http://www.google.com/ads/preferences .
Facebook Social Plugins

We use social plugins (“plugins”) from the social network facebook.com on the basis of our legitimate interests (ie interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR). , which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"). The plugins can display interaction elements or content (e.g. videos, graphics or text contributions) and can be recognized by one of the Facebook logos (white "f" on a blue tile, the terms "Like", "I like" or a "thumbs up" sign ) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. The list and appearance of the Facebook Social Plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/ .
2. Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active ).
3. When a user invokes a feature of this online offering that includes such a plugin, their device establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to the device of the user and incorporated by him into the online offer. In the process, user profiles of the processed data can be created. Therefore, we have no influence on the extent of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore informs users according to our knowledge.
4. By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the online offer. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, for example, press the Like button or leave a comment, the information is transmitted from your device directly to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will find out and save their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymous IP address is stored in Germany.
5. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as the related rights and setting options to protect the privacy of users, these can be found in the privacy policy of Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy /.
6. If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about him via this online offer and link it to his member data stored on Facebook, he must log out of Facebook before using our online offer and delete his cookies. Further settings and contradictions to the use of data for advertising purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or via the US side http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU side http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ , The settings are platform-independent, ie they are adopted for all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.
Facebook, custom audiences and Facebook marketing services
1. Due to our legitimate interests in analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer and for these purposes, our online offer includes the so-called “Facebook pixel” of the social network Facebook, which is provided by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025 , USA, or if you are based in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland is operated (“Facebook”).
2. Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active ).
3. With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is able, on the one hand, to determine the visitors to our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called “Facebook ads”). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to only display the Facebook ads placed by us to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products that are based on the visited Websites determined) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "custom audiences"). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we would also like to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not have a nuisance. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also understand the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were forwarded to our website after clicking on a Facebook advertisement (so-called "conversion").
4. The Facebook pixel is directly integrated by Facebook when you visit our website and can save a so-called cookie, ie a small file, on your device. If you then log in to Facebook or visit Facebook while logged in, the visit to our online offer will be noted in your profile. The data collected about you is anonymous to us, so it does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the identity of the user. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and can be used by Facebook as well as for its own market research and advertising purposes. If we should transmit data to Facebook for comparison purposes, it will be encrypted locally in the browser and only then sent to Facebook via a secure https connection. This is done solely for the purpose of making a comparison with the data that is also encrypted by Facebook.
5. Furthermore, when using the Facebook pixel, we use the additional function "extended comparison" (data such as telephone numbers, e-mail addresses or Facebook IDs of the users are used) to form target groups ("Custom Audiences" or "Look Alike Audiences"). ) to Facebook (encrypted). Further information on “extended synchronization”: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/611774685654668 ).
6. Also on the basis of our legitimate interests, we use the "Custom Audiences from File" procedure of the social network Facebook, Inc. In this case, the e-mail addresses of the newsletter recipients are uploaded to Facebook. The upload process is encrypted. The upload serves solely to determine recipients of our Facebook ads. We want to ensure that the ads are only displayed to users who are interested in our information and services.
7. The processing of the data by Facebook takes place within the framework of Facebook's data usage guidelines. Accordingly, general information on the display of Facebook ads in Facebook's data usage guidelines: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php , Special information and details about the Facebook pixel and how it works can be found in the Help section of Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616 .
8. You can object to the collection by the Facebook pixel and the use of your data to display Facebook ads. To set which types of advertisements are shown to you within Facebook, you can call up the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions there on the settings for usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads , The settings are platform-independent, ie they are adopted for all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.
9. To prevent the collection of your data by means of the Facebook pixel on our website, please click the following link:

You may also opt out of the use of cookies for distance measurement and promotional purposes via the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and additionally the US-American website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices ) or the European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/ ) contradict.
Newsletter
1. With the following information we will inform you about the contents of our newsletter as well as the registration, dispatch and statistical evaluation procedures as well as your right of objection. By subscribing to our newsletter, you declare that you agree to the receipt and the procedures described.
2. Content of the newsletter: We send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications with advertising information (hereinafter "newsletter") only with the consent of the recipient or a legal permission. Insofar as the contents of a newsletter are concretely described, they are authoritative for the consent of the users. Incidentally, our newsletters contain information about our products, offers, promotions and our company.
3. Double opt-in and logging: Registration for our newsletter is done in a so-called double-opt-in procedure. This means you will receive an e-mail after logging in to ask for confirmation of your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with external e-mail addresses. The registration for the newsletter will be logged in order to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the login and the confirmation time, as well as the IP address. Likewise, changes to your data stored with the shipping service provider will be logged.
4. Shipping service provider: The newsletter is sent using "MailChimp", a newsletter sending platform from the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. You can view the data protection regulations of the shipping service provider here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/. The Rocket Science Group LLC d/b/a MailChimp is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection standards (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TO6hAAG&status=Active).
5. Furthermore, the shipping service provider can, according to its own information, use this data in pseudonymous form, i.e. without assignment to a user, to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of shipping and the presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes in order to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, the shipping service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them themselves or to pass them on to third parties.
6. Credentials: To subscribe to the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide your e-mail address. Optionally, we ask you to give a name in the newsletter for personal address.
7. Statistical survey and analysis - The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon", ie a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the server of the shipping service provider when the newsletter is opened. As part of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval, are initially collected. This information is used to technically improve the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or the access times. The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our aim nor that of the shipping service provider to monitor individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.
8. The use of the shipping service provider, the implementation of statistical surveys and analyzes and the logging of the registration process are based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR. Our interest is focused on the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves both our business interests and meets user expectations.
9. Termination/Revocation - You can terminate the receipt of our newsletter at any time, ie revoke your consent. At the same time, your consent to its dispatch by the dispatch service provider and the statistical analyzes expire. Unfortunately, a separate revocation of the dispatch by the dispatch service provider or the statistical evaluation is not possible. You will find a link to cancel the newsletter at the end of each newsletter. If the users have only registered for the newsletter and canceled this registration, their personal data will be deleted.

Rights of data subjects
As a data subject, you have various rights under the GDPR, which arise in particular from Art. 15 to 21 GDPR:
§1 Scope of application of the house rules
The house rules apply to attending an event organized by Sparks & Visions gUG, Wöhrdstraße 29, 93059 Regensburg, Germany (hereinafter only referred to as: organiser) and to entering the event area used by the organiser.
With the purchase of the admission ticket (also in the case of a purchase contract with a third party), the visitor acknowledges the validity of these house rules. This also applies if the event location is entered in other cases.
§2 house rules
The house rules are the responsibility of the organizer.
The security and security service deployed by him is entitled to exercise and enforce the house rules on behalf of the organizer, in particular to carry out checks according to these house rules or to enforce the removal and removal from the event site according to these house rules or the statutory provisions.
§3 Purchase of admission tickets
Admission tickets may only be purchased if the purchaser intends to visit the event himself with these tickets or to give them away to friends or relatives or to give them away or pass them on to business partners or other related circles in the usual way .
The acquisition of tickets for the purpose of resale to unknown third parties is prohibited.
The production and distribution of counterfeit tickets will be prosecuted.
Visitors are recommended to only purchase tickets through the channels announced by the organizer (information on https://sparks-and-visions.com/)
With the purchase of tickets from the organizer, you can postpone the event to a date on which it will be possible to hold the event again due to Covid-19.
§4 Cancellation, termination or postponement of the event
Events can be canceled or postponed. Should this occur, we will do so via the festival homepage https://sparks-and-visions.com/ and announce it via our social media channels. So please use these channels to find out whether the event will take place as planned.
If the event is cancelled, aborted, postponed or there is a significant change, our liability is limited to the nominal value of the tickets purchased. Additional costs (e.g. for accommodation) are at your own risk and are excluded from liability.
A significant change in the event is when an event occurs that significantly changes the character of the event compared to what you could expect when you bought the ticket. Changes in one or more artists in the lineup do not constitute such a material change.
If the event is cancelled, aborted or postponed due to circumstances that are not the responsibility of the organizer (force majeure, general conditions due to the Covid-19 pandemic and possible mutations, list is not exhaustive), the ticket holder has the right to a refund of the nominal value of the ticket (withdrawal from the contract) is excluded in accordance with the following regulation:
The nominal value of the ticket results from the pure ticket price and any garbage deposit paid in advance.
Other costs such as pre-sale fees, system fees and shipping costs are excluded.
The organizer has the right to make up for the event at a later date.
If the event is rescheduled, the event tickets remain valid for the rescheduled date.
However, a refund of the nominal ticket value can be requested in individual cases if participation in the catch-up date is demonstrably unreasonable for the ticket buyer. Reasons for this can be (list not exhaustive):
Vacation trips already booked before the announcement of the catch-up date
Events in the immediate family circle that cannot be postponed, such as weddings or baptisms
If this right is to be exercised, the unreasonableness must be proven by the ticket buyer to the organizer in case of doubt.
Force majeure occurs in particular when events occur that are outside the organiser's area of responsibility and influence. Examples of this are (civil) war or war-like events, political unrest, terror threats and acts, use of chemical, biological or biochemical substances, increased radiation exposure at the event location and natural disasters. Pandemics, epidemics, epidemics and comparable threats to health or their consequences are also present as a result of force majeure.
In addition, force majeure exists in particular if there are state, official or other public-law interventions and measures such as orders, general decrees, etc. for which the organizer is not responsible, which oppose the implementation of the event or make the circumstances more difficult.
Force majeure also applies if a corresponding event has not yet occurred but it can reasonably be foreseen that this event will occur at the time of the event.
Whether such a case will occur at the time of the event is at the discretion of the organizer, in particular taking into account the interests of the ticket buyers.
§5 Admission of visitors
The Youth Protection Act applies to visitors under the age of 18. The organizer is entitled to request suitable identification papers (e.g. identity card) to verify the age.
Admission will only be granted upon presentation of a valid original admission ticket and only if the visitor meets the conditions of these house rules.
The organizer is entitled to demand the presentation of an official photo ID in individual cases.
The tickets will be validated upon entry.
It is not possible to take back or exchange the admission ticket.
The visitor consents to measures being taken to check his/her clothing and bags and containers he/she has brought with him/her for security reasons and to check compliance with these house rules at the entrance.
The organizer can change admission times, especially if this is necessary for safety reasons.
The organizer can refuse admission if
The visitor does not have a valid ticket,
The visitor refuses to submit identification papers in the event of an age verification,
The visitor refuses to have their clothing, utensils or containers checked,
The visitor is clearly under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other intoxicating substances,
The visitor carries weapons or objects prohibited by law (see § 6),
there is a ban on the visitor,
The visitor clearly intends to disrupt the course of the event, to use violence or to incite violence,
The visitor draws attention to himself/herself in advance by announcing racist, inhuman, homophobic or sexist statements in words, pictures or behavior or such an announcement is clearly intended, or
moreover, the visitor clearly intends to violate the house rules
In this case, the visitor is not entitled to a refund of the entrance fee. The organizer's right to claim damages remains unaffected.
§6 Hygiene measures in connection with SARS-CoV2 or other viruses
If an ordinance of the city of Regensburg regarding the corona virus, SARS-CoV2 or variants thereof or other viruses comes into force on the date of the event, which only allows a visit to concerts / festivals under certain conditions, the organizer will implement these conditions. These conditions may include:
Wearing a medical mouth/nose protection or an FFP2 mask on the event site (depending on the regulation)
Compliance with certain distance regulations.
Presentation of a negative antigen rapid test or PCR test (depending on the regulation) which may not be more than 24 hours old on the date of the event.
In the case of a so-called 2G regulation, proof of vaccination or recovery.
Carrying out appropriate health checks (e.g. temperature measurements)
This list serves as an example and is not exhaustive. The provisions of the applicable ordinance are decisive.
The refusal of a visitor to fulfill the conditions applicable on the date of the event (e.g. the lack of proof of vaccination or the refusal to wear a mouth and nose protector (list not exhaustive)) leads to exclusion from the event. In this case, the refund of the ticket purchase price is excluded.
In addition to the requirements of the ordinance, the organizer can decide on additional hygiene and preventive measures and implement them on site at his own discretion or on the basis of conditions imposed by the local licensing authority.
These measures can be, for example:
Wearing a mouth and nose protector despite presenting an exemption from the mask requirement.
Specification of distance regulations that tighten the specifications of the general regulation - especially in the waiting and queuing areas.
Contrary to the regulation, the request for proof of vaccination or recovery.
Deviating from the regulation, the presentation of a negative antigen rapid test or PCR test that may be no more than 24 hours old on the date of the event.
List serves as an example and is not exhaustive.
If this is the case, the organizer will inform all ticket buyers in advance of the event via website, e-mail and social media in good time and in detail.
The refusal of a visitor to meet these requirements will result in exclusion from the event. In this case, the refund of the ticket purchase price is excluded.
If required by law, the organizer will collect health data and/or personal data of the visitors at the entrance and forward them to the responsible authorities within the legally required framework.
If the concert visitor does not fully comply with the legal and/or hygiene and preventive measures issued by the organizer, access to the event may be denied. A refund of the ticket purchase price does not take place in the event of a refusal.

For security reasons, the organizer can temporarily or completely clear and cordon off individual areas of the festival site without this justifying a claim for a partial refund of the ticket price, insofar as the visitor can no longer experience essential parts of the event himself. The relevant instructions of the organizer or the instructions of the persons and companies commissioned by him must be followed immediately in order to avert danger to life and limb.
§11 Program
The organizer can change parts of the program, especially if this is necessary in the event of a cancellation or absence of artists or due to the weather conditions or other influences on the event.
The artists are solely responsible for the content of their performance, the organizer only influences the program through its selection of artists.

His liability for slight negligence is limited to the foreseeable damage at the time of conclusion of the contract, the occurrence of which must typically be expected.
However, the organizer is fully liable for damage to life, body and health caused to the visitor by the organizer or his vicarious agents, i.e. for any kind of negligence and for intent.
