Privacy Policy
We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a
particularly high priority for the management of the Upper Grill Club GmbH. The use of the Internet pages
of the Upper Grill Club GmbH is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data
subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become
necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such
processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data
subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with
the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Upper Grill Club GmbH. By means of this
data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope,
and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by
means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, the Upper Grill Club GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational
measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However,
Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be
guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative
means, e.g. by telephone.

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

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; the processing of those data by those public
authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes
of the processing. -
j)Third party
Third party is 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. -

3. Cookies
The Internet pages of the Upper Grill Club GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a
computer system via an Internet browser.
Many Internet sites 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 Internet pages and
servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows
visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the dats subject from other
Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified
using the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, the Upper Grill Club GmbH 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 optimized with the user in mind.
Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition
is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not
have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website,
and the cookie is thus stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping
cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual
shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a
corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies.
Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software
programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting
of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.
4. Collection of general data and information
The website of the Upper Grill Club GmbH collects a series of general data and information when a data
subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the
server log files. Collected may be (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
referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet
protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any
other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology
systems.
When using these general data and information, the Upper Grill Club GmbH does not draw any conclusions
about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website
correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term
viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement
authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore,
the Upper Grill Club GmbH analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim
of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of
protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored
separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
5. Contact possibility via the website
The website of the Upper Grill Club GmbH contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to
our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the
so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a
contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal
data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose
of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third
parties.
6. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period
necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or
other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.

relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded with the
applicant by the controller, the application documents shall be automatically erased two months after
notification of the refusal decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller are
opposed to the erasure. Other legitimate interest in this relation is, e.g. a burden of proof in a
procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
9. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization
function)
On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the anonymizer
function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and
analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia,
data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were
visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the
optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street,
Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses the application "_gat. _anonymizeIp".
By means of this application the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is abridged by
Google and anonymised when accessing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or another
Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the
collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online
reports, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of
our Internet site for us.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition
of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our
website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the
controller and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the
information technology system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google
Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google.
During the course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal
information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand
the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the
access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the data subject. With each visit to our
Internet site, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data
subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by
Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the
technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by
means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of
cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting
a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by
Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are generated
by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data
by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser
add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells
Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages
may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an
objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted,
or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics.
If the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is attributable to their
sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the
browser add-ons.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html.
Google Analytics is further explained under the following Link https://www.google.com/analytics/.
10. Legal basis for the processing
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves 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, when processing operations are
necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1)
lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out
pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our
company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the
fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be 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 in
our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on
to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for
processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is
necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except
where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data
subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible
because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate
interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
11. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to
carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.
12. Period for which the personal data will be stored
The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory
retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as
it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
13. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter
into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of
failure to provide such data
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can
also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).
Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data,
which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with
personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data
would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.
Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The
employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or
contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the
personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
14. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
