No guarantee shall be assumed for the observation of the data protection provision for Internet products of third parties to which reference is made on this page by means of tools and links.
4.2. Principle
In principle, you may use the page without having to provide personal information. During visits Datasport can only register impersonal usage data. The IP address of your computer or network, the last page visited, the browser used, date, time and downloaded files can be recorded in the so-called log files. They are collected for the purpose of analysing user behaviour and basically serve to optimise our product. They do not permit any inferences to be drawn about you personally.
4.3. Statement and use of personal information
You may only use certain products on the page if you provide personal information. For some products statement of your e-mail address is sufficient (e.g. newsletter), for other services, we require from you the statement of name/first name, address, telephone number and e-mail address.
Use of online registration with payment requires compulsory registration including provision of personal data. As a collection agency Datasport is obliged by law to be able to document all transactions in an understandable manner during set legal periods.
We shall handle your personal data pursuant to the current data protection law. This means Datasport shall undertake to use your personal information with due care and solely for the purposes indicated.

You may either do this yourself in the profile management or you may call on us to do so (e-mail, fax or letter).
Datasport provides a personal result overview as a free service. The result overview can be publicly retrieved on the Internet (Datasport homepage, Datasport app) in myDS search. Publication of the personal result overview can be suppressed by the person involved. Written notification by post, fax or e-mail is sufficient.
4.4. Online registration on behalf of third parties
Datasport shall offer the registration, including payment of starting fees, for sport events. This service shall occur in the name of and on behalf of the respective organisers. The online registration shall be understood legally as the conclusion of an agreement between the athlete and the particular organiser of the event. The basis for this agreement shall be the set of rules or general terms and conditions of the organiser. Datasport shall not be a contractual partner and shall not be obliged to refer to these conditions in detail. By concluding the online registration and carrying out the payment the user shall accept the set of rules of the organiser.
The event organiser shall possess all rights to the personal information of the athlete recorded. The rights of use shall be determined pursuant to the set of rules or general terms and conditions of business of the organiser.
To limit these rights of use, please contact the respective organiser directly.
The funds collected in connection with an online registration shall at all times be the property of the organiser. Datasport shall have no power to dispose of these funds. The organiser shall be responsible for the tax qualification of the funds collected.
All the statements above shall apply to all additional services, which are offered, handled and charged in connection with the online registration in the name of and on behalf of partners.
