Privacy Policy

We are delighted that you are interested in our company. Data protection is a particularly high priority for the management of Bari GmbH. It is generally possible to use the Bari GmbH website without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services offered by our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Bari GmbH. Through this privacy policy, our company wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy informs data subjects about their rights.

As the controller, Bari GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

Definitions

The privacy policy of Bari GmbH is based on the terminology used by the European legislators and regulators when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the general public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use the following terms in this privacy policy, among others:

Personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as “data subject”). A natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by association with an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

Data subject

A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

Processing

Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, distribution, or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

Profiling

Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of using that personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.

Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization 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 organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Controller or processor

The controller or processor is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. If the purposes and means of such processing are laid down 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.

Processor

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

Recipient

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities that 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.

Third party

A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

Consent

Consent is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

Name and address of the controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions of a data protection nature is:

Bari GmbH
Fürstenfelder Straße 5
80331 Munich

Cookies

The websites of Bari GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that can be used to assign websites and servers to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Bari GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without cookies.

Cookies enable us to optimize the information and offers on our website for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, users of a website that uses cookies do not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website, because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie for a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop uses a cookie to remember the items that a customer has placed in their virtual shopping cart.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

Collection of general data and information

The Bari GmbH website collects a range of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be collected: (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 referrer), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serves to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Bari GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required in order to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by Bari GmbH on the one hand statistically and on the other hand with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

Booking portal

It is possible to make reservations of various sizes via the Bari GmbH website. These are processed via the Eversports booking platform. This is a service provided by Eversport GmbH (FN 404544v) Kauerhof 1-4, Top 4, 1150 Vienna. Telephone or personal reservations are also processed by Bari GmbH employees via the Eversport GmbH platform. Bari GmbH therefore does not process any booking data.

6.1 Eversport GmbH collects and stores any information that the user enters via the Eversport platform or provides to Eversport in any other way. Eversport uses the user’s personal data to the extent permitted by law and otherwise only with the user’s consent. If consent is given electronically within the scope of the services, Eversport complies with the legal information requirements and records this consent using appropriate technical systems.

6.2 Eversport GmbH uses the following personal data of the user: name, email address, telephone number, gender, date of birth, and place of residence.

6.3 In addition, the IP address is automatically transmitted to Eversport GmbH by the user’s device and stored on the servers of Eversport GmbH. Except for the purpose of tracking unauthorized access to the services, Eversport GmbH does not use this data in a personal manner, but evaluates it on an anonymous basis for statistical purposes.

6.4 If you have any questions about the collection, processing, or use of your personal data, or if you wish to request information, correction, blocking, or deletion of data, or revoke any consent you may have given or object to a specific use of data, please contact us in writing by mail at Kauerhof 1-4, Top 4, 1150 Vienna, Austria, or by email at support@eversports.com. For further information on data protection, please visit the website: https://www.eversports.at/h/privacy.

Contact option via the website

Due to legal requirements, the website of Bari GmbH contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the controller is stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or if this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Rights of the data subject

Right to confirmation

Every data subject has the right, granted by European directives and regulations, to request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

Right to information

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller, free of charge, information about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information at any time. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject the right to obtain the following information:

the purposes of the processing
the categories of personal data that are being processed
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations
where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data concerning the data subject or restriction of processing of the personal data concerning the data subject or to object to such processing
the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
if the personal data is not collected from the data subject: all available information on the origin of the data
the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in these cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information about whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

Right to rectification

Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them without undue delay. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, taking into account the purposes of the processing, including by means of a supplementary statement.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of rectification, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by European directives and regulations to request that the controller erase personal data concerning them without delay, provided that one of the following reasons applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

The personal data has been collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing was based in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
The personal data have been processed unlawfully.
The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data were collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

If one of the aforementioned grounds applies and a data subject wishes to have their personal data stored by Bari GmbH erased, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Bari GmbH will ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.

If personal data has been made public by Bari GmbH and our company, as the controller pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, is obligated to erase the personal data, Bari GmbH, taking into account available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by those other controllers of any links to, or copies or replications of, that personal data, insofar as processing is not necessary. The employee of Bari GmbH will take the necessary steps in each individual case.

Right to restriction of processing

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead.
the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
the data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met and a data subject wishes to restrict the processing of their personal data stored by Bari GmbH, they may contact an employee of the data controller at any time. The Bari GmbH employee will then arrange for the restriction of processing.

Right to data portability

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. She also has the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, when exercising her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To exercise her right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of Bari GmbH at any time.

Right to object

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

In the event of such an objection, Bari GmbH will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims.

Where Bari GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to the processing of their personal data by Bari GmbH for direct marketing purposes, Bari GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is carried out by Bari GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of Bari GmbH directly. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performing, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent. If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performing, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, Bari GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to exercise rights relating to automated decision-making, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to withdraw their consent to the processing of their personal data at any time.

If a data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact an employee of the data controller at any time.

Data Protection Provisions Regarding the Use of YouTube

(a) Data Processing

We have embedded YouTube videos in our online service. These videos are stored on the YouTube platform and can be played directly from our website. YouTube is a service of Google LLC, D/B/A YouTube, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). The videos are all embedded using the so-called “2-click solution.” This means that no data about you as a user is transmitted to Google unless you activate the video function. Before activating the video function, only a preview image, loaded from our own web server, is displayed.

Data is only transferred to Google if you activate the video functions for a specific video or generally via our cookie banner. Once activated, we have no control over this data transfer. The data transfer occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged into or whether no user account exists. If you are logged into Google, your data will be directly associated with your account.

(b) Purposes and Legal Basis

We use YouTube videos on our website to present them easily and simultaneously optimize the website’s loading speed.

The legal basis for processing your personal data is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR. You give this consent by activating the video function, via our cookie banner, or via the cookie settings. If you consent to the use of the plugin in the ways described, your personal data will be transferred to Google as described above.

During the data transfer to Google, your personal data is transferred to Google servers, which may also be located in the USA. The transfer is based on appropriate safeguards within the meaning of Articles 46 et seq. GDPR in the form of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, under which Google LLC is registered.

If you have given your consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

You can withdraw your consent at any time for the future by disabling the toggle switch for the “YouTube” category in the cookie settings.

Further information on data processing, in particular on the legal basis and storage period by Google, can be found in the provider’s privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and in the privacy banner on the YouTube platform. There you will also find further information on your rights and settings options to protect your privacy.

Privacy Policy Regarding the Use of Google Analytics for Web Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your truncated IP address) will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

This may also involve transmission to Google LLC servers in the USA. This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”, which ensures anonymization of the IP address by truncation and prevents direct identification of individuals. With this extension, your IP address is truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google LLC server in the USA and truncated there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to fully utilize all the functions of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing data generated by the cookie relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

As an alternative to the browser plugin, or when using browsers on mobile devices, please click the following link to set an opt-out cookie that will prevent Google Analytics from collecting data on this website in the future (this opt-out cookie only works in this browser and only for this domain; if you delete your cookies in this browser, you will need to click this link again): Disable Google Analytics

In the event that personal data is transferred to Google LLC, which is based in the USA, Google LLC has registered under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, thereby ensuring compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU. An overview of current registrations can be viewed here:

www.dataprivacyframework.gov/list

This website also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor traffic, which is carried out using a user ID. When a user accesses a page for the first time, they are assigned a unique, persistent, and anonymized ID that is set across devices. This makes it possible to attribute interaction data from different devices and sessions to a single user. The user ID does not contain any personal data and does not transmit any such data to Google.

You can object to the collection and storage of data via the user ID at any time with effect for the future. To do this, you must deactivate Google Analytics on all systems you use, for example, in a different browser or on your mobile device.

You can deactivate it using a browser plugin from Google (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). Alternatively, you can deactivate it directly when the cookie selection window appears on our website.

Further information on Google (Universal) Analytics can be found here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2838718?hl=de&ref_topic=6010376

The legal basis for processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG.

Data Protection Provisions Regarding the Use of Instagram

The data controller has integrated components of the Instagram service into this website. Instagram is an audiovisual platform that allows users to share photos and videos and to further distribute such data on other social networks.

The operating company of Instagram is Instagram LLC, 1 Hacker Way, Building 14 First Floor, Menlo Park, CA, USA.

Each time a user accesses one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which an Instagram component (Insta-button) has been integrated, the respective Instagram component automatically prompts the web browser on the user’s information technology system to download a representation of the corresponding Instagram component. As part of this technical process, Instagram receives information about which specific subpage of our website the user is visiting.

If the data subject is logged into Instagram at the same time, Instagram recognizes which specific subpage the data subject visits each time they access our website and for the entire duration of their visit. This information is collected by the Instagram component and assigned by Instagram to the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transmitted in this way are assigned to the data subject’s personal Instagram user account and stored and processed by Instagram.

The Instagram component always informs Instagram that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into Instagram at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks the Instagram component or not. If the data subject does not want this information transmitted to Instagram, they can prevent this by logging out of their Instagram account before accessing our website.

Further information and Instagram’s applicable privacy policy can be found at https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 and https://www.instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.

Legal Basis for Processing

Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations where 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 a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, such as inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that necessitates the processing of personal data, such as for fulfilling tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance details, or other vital information had to be disclosed to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, if the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He was of the opinion that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 GDPR).

Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party in the processing

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.

Duration for which the personal data will be stored

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for the performance of a contract or for taking steps prior to entering into a contract.

Legal or contractual requirements for providing personal data; necessity for entering into a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also arise from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contracting party). In some cases, concluding a contract may require a data subject to provide us with personal data, which we then need to process. For example, the data subject is obligated to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide this personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will explain to the data subject, on a case-by-case basis, whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, or necessary for entering into the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.
