Privacy policy

This translation is for information only. The German version is legally binding.

As of: 25 October 2026

1. Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Hans-Joachim Ebertz
Sportmoderation Ebertz / Box59Online
Im Aubisch 8, 56567 Neuwied
Phone: +49 152 34273601
Email: info@box59online.de

2. General information on data processing

Personal data is any data that can be used to identify you personally. I only process your data to the extent necessary to operate this website, provide my content and handle enquiries. Depending on the case, the legal bases are Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent), point (b) (contract or pre-contractual measures) and point (f) (legitimate interest).

3. Hosting

This website is hosted by dogado GmbH, Antonio-Segni-Straße 11, 44263 Dortmund. When the site is accessed, the host processes technically necessary data on my behalf (see section 4). A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place with dogado. The legal basis is my legitimate interest in the secure and efficient operation of the website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

4. Server log files

Each time this website is accessed, the server automatically records information transmitted by your browser. This includes:

This data is used to deliver the page, to analyse errors and to keep the server secure. It is not merged with other data sources and is only stored for as long as necessary for these purposes. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

5. Cookies and visitor analytics (Matomo)

This website does not use cookies for analytics or marketing purposes.

To understand how this website is used, I use the analytics software Matomo. It runs on my own web hosting with Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany (address: klickfunke.de/stats). No data is passed on to third parties, and it is not merged with other data.

Matomo works without cookies here. The IP address is shortened before it is stored. The following is recorded: the page accessed, date and time, the page you came from, browser, operating system, device type and approximate location (country, region, town), derived from the shortened IP address. If “Do Not Track” is enabled in your browser, I do not measure your visit. I delete the individual visit data automatically after 180 days. Aggregated figures without any personal reference are retained.

The legal basis is my legitimate interest in improving the website and seeing which content is used (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Right to object: You can object to this measurement at any time (Art. 21 GDPR), for example informally by email to info@box59online.de.

6. Fonts

This website uses fonts that are stored on my own server. When the page is accessed, no connection is made to servers of Google or other font providers; your IP address is therefore not transmitted to third parties for this purpose.

7. Contact by email or phone

If you contact me by email or phone, I process your details (e.g. name, contact details, content of the enquiry) in order to deal with your request and any follow-up questions. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if a contract or a booking is concerned, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. I delete the data as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose and no statutory retention obligations prevent this.

8. Booking and advertising forms

On the “Commentator & Host” page you can request a booking using a form. The details you enter are processed: name, email address, phone number (optional), event, date, location, type of booking (on site, livestream or both) and your message. The data is sent by email to my mailbox at dogado (see section 3) and used there to handle your enquiry. It is not stored on the web server itself.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures taken at your request). The mandatory details are needed to process your enquiry; without them I cannot respond to it. I delete your details as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose and no statutory retention obligations prevent this.

To protect against automated spam submissions, the form uses a hidden field and a time check. No external services are integrated and no cookies are set for this.

The form on the “Advertising” page (advertising enquiry) works in the same way. There, your name, email address, company or brand, phone number and website (each optional where marked), the type of advertising you are interested in and your message are processed. The data is sent by email to my mailbox at dogado and is not stored on the web server. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures). The spam protection there also works without external services and without cookies.

9. Embedded video (YouTube)

A showreel from YouTube is embedded on the “Commentator & Host” page (provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). I use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com) for this. The video is only loaded when you click “Play”. Until then, no data is transmitted to YouTube; only a preview image from this website is displayed.

By clicking, you consent to the video being loaded (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). YouTube then receives your IP address and the information about which page you are visiting. YouTube may store cookies or similar technologies on your device and transfer data to the USA; Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by leaving or reloading the page. Further information: policies.google.com/privacy.

10. Links to external platforms

This website also contains links to YouTube and Instagram and to individual YouTube videos. These are simple links, not embedded content. You only leave my site when you click a link; from then on, the privacy policy of the respective provider applies.

11. Your rights

You have the following rights against me with regard to your personal data:

To exercise your rights, an informal message to info@box59online.de is sufficient.

12. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for me is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of Rhineland-Palatinate (Der Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit Rheinland-Pfalz), Hintere Bleiche 34, 55116 Mainz, www.datenschutz.rlp.de.

13. Keeping this policy up to date

I will update this privacy policy as soon as the functions of the website change, for example through analytics tools or additional forms.
