If applicable, the processors of a message must forward your enquiry to third parties for a reply or for examination. These can, in particular, be ground handling service providers, security staff service providers, cleaning service providers, federal police force, state police force, Deutsche Flugsicherung, and airlines. The legal basis for forwarding your enquiry/complaint to third parties for examination and response is also our justified interest in effective processing of your enquiry or your reference as defined in Art. 6 (1) s. 1 lit. f) GDPR. It is only carried out insofar as this is not possible without corresponding examination without the assistance of third parties.

If you use contact forms provided by us, where a contact of a third party is listed on the right edge of the website in the field “Contact person”, then your enquiry will be transmitted directly to the company stated in the field “Contact person”. In this case FBB will forward your personal data directly. The respective third-party company is exclusively responsible for the data processing and the rights and obligations arising from data protection following the forwarding.

The personal data collected by us are exclusively processed for the purposes of processing your enquiry or your other concern.

Your enquiries are principally stored after completion of the processing up to three years for the purpose of tracking the answer or in case of a renewed contact on your part and will subsequently be erased, unless a longer storage of the data is stipulated by special storage deadlines according to regulations under commercial or tax law. E-mail correspondence is principally archived by taking the storage regulations under trade and tax law into consideration and will only be erased after expiry of this time. The retention periods applicable in this respect are six to ten years.

In justified cases we reserve the right to store correspondence and other documents with personal data as long as this may be necessary in our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) s. 1 lit. f) GDPR. This is, for example, the case if the documents may be required for the defence against legal claims or for asserting legal claims within the scope of the statutes-of-limitations.

It is not possible to assign the conversations to individual persons if no personal data is provided during the conversation. Your data provided in relation to the use of the voice assistant will be processed in Germany and the European Union. The data processing is carried out on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Sec. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR) and exclusively for the purposes mentioned above.

Data processing is carried out on behalf of FBB by the company Parloa GmbH, Schönhauser Allee 9, 10119 Berlin. If you do not wish your data to be processed in this way, you cannot use the voicebot.

The voice assistant does not use automated decision-making, including profiling. Use of the voice assistant is voluntary. You are free to contact us by other means without incurring any disadvantages.

Your messages are principally processed within the company and, insofar as necessary, made available to various divisions of the company for processing. If applicable, the processors of a message must forward your enquiry to third parties for a reply or for examination. These can, in particular, be the Deutsche Flugsicherung, airlines or within the scope of the noise protection programme service providers for the processing of the respective noise protection application (e.g. engineering offices for the technical assessment of the claim). The forwarding of your enquiry/complaint to third parties for examination and response is also based on our justified interest in effective processing of your enquiry or your reference as defined in Art. 6 (1) s. 1 lit. f) GDPR. It is only carried out insofar as processing is not possible without corresponding examination and/or assistance of third parties.

The personal data we collect is processed exclusively for the purpose of dealing with your request and is kept for as long as it is necessary for the purpose of its collection and processing. The data are principally necessary as long as they are necessary for proof of the fulfilment of claims or compliance with obligations or to fulfil statutory retention obligations.

Your data will thus be stored for five years after processing has been completed for the purposes of documentation, traceability and, if necessary, renewed contact or further response, unless a longer retention period is required by law. This can, in particular, be the case with activities for noise protection applications. We will accordingly erase personal data with regard to noise protection application documents with which after examination there is no claim for noise protection measures, 6 years, incomplete applications as well as completed processing of applications 10 years after termination of the processing, however, 5 years at the earliest after commissioning of the Berlin Brandenburg Airport in order to comply with the storage regulations, the obligations to provide proof of the planning approval as well as the statute-of-limitations for the claim.

Passengers save their photo and, where applicable, additional profile data in the smartdepart app from Airsphere and load the boarding pass onto the app before each flight. Smartdepart saves images as encrypted templates in the app. Once the passenger has granted their consent to use the information stored in the app for the BER Biometrics service at the airport, the template and boarding pass data are activated for comparison by Airsphere and processed centrally by Airsphere.

At the airport, a photo or a digital template of the passenger’s image generated on-site is created at the respective service point and forwarded to Airsphere in encrypted form. Airsphere creates a template from the forwarded image or uses the forwarded template for comparison with the templates available from the app. If the templates are compared favourably, the boarding pass data stored for this purpose is then forwarded to the airport and the service point is activated for the passenger.

The legal basis for data processing is your consent in accordance with Article 6(1), Point a), GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), which you have granted as part of the app reservation process.

You may revoke your consent to the data processing at any time with effect for the future.

You can use our job portal with your consent. Data processing takes place exclusively in connection with the use of our portal to apply for vacancies, the creation and maintenance of an applicant profile and the transfer of applicant data in the event of recruitment. 

Your data will only be used for the job vacancies you have selected. If you have agreed in the profile settings or in the registration process to be contacted for new job vacancies or for the use of the applicant profile by our employees in the recruiting team, your data will be used by our recruiting team to find interesting new job vacancies within our company and to inform you about them.

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1, sentence 1, lit. a) GDPR. The data processing is based on your consent.

You have the option to withdraw your consent to data processing at any time with effect for the future and to object to the processing and use of your personal data. The revocation can be sent in writing to Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH, 12521 Berlin or by email to jobs@berlin-airport.de. You also have the option of deleting your applicant data and applications in the career portal at any time.

FBB uses the service provider T-Systems International GmbH (Hahnstraße 43d, D-60528 Frankfurt am Main) for data collection and data storage as well as for the operation of the career portal using the SAP Success Factors software. The service provider is obliged to process data in accordance with Art. 28 EU GDPR.

We generally delete application data after 4 months. Applicant profile data is deleted after 2 years, unless other statutory retention periods apply.

If you have any further questions, please contact jobs@berlin-airport.de or use the data protection notice in the job portal with further data protection information.

So-called Cookies and Pixel technology are applied in the case of using FBB’s aforementioned digital information services. Cookies are text files stored in the memory of an end device. Cookies shall not become part of your system. They are aimed at recognising internet browser. The majority of browsers are set to accept Cookies automatically. Pixel-based re-targeting is a technique in which a pixel is placed in the user’s browser when they visit the website. The pixel delivered to the user contains a file name which is used as an identifier. Assigning such a pixel to the accessing browser can track the user’s behaviour on the website and render it possible to target them with ads that match their interests.

Both techniques are aimed at enabling and making it easy for you to use our service, therefore ensuring the usability of the web page and placing targeted advertising for users.

If we use session Cookies (Session Keys), these are automatically deleted once you leave our online media.

Furthermore, we use temporary Cookies to optimise usability. These are stored on your terminal device and can be valid for between 10 minutes and several years. You shall be informed about the use at the beginning of the respective visit to our online media. Once you visit our online media again, the used browser as well as available Cookies shall be recognised automatically and used for statistical purposes. This means you do not need to re-enter some data and can use our services faster. These Cookies shall be automatically marked as invalid after a respectively defined period of time and shall be erased in line with your browser settings.

As part of the use of the aircraft noise forecast, we use a Cookie to improve the user-friendliness. Insofar as you state your address that is to be reviewed with the aircraft noise forecast, this shall be stored in the Cookie and, when the website is visited once again, it shall be used in line with the aircraft noise forecast to visualise your address on the available map. You can erase the Cookie at any time via your browser settings.

The legal basis for using technically necessary Cookies is our legitimate interest as defined in Article 6(1), Sentence 1, Point f), GDPR, for the optimisation and improvement as well as functional security of our online services, provision of shopping cart control or use of “Remember Me” functionalities to make it easier for a user to complete forms.

The legal basis for the use of technically unnecessary Cookies for advertising measures, website usage statistics and the use of functionalities on our websites (e.g. for aircraft noise forecasting) is your consent in accordance with Article 6(1), Sentence 1, Point a), GDPR, and, if applicable, your consent in accordance with Article 49(1), Point a), GDPR, if your data are also forwarded to a third country such as the USA. You may grant us your consent at the beginning of the respective visit to our online media by using the displayed Cookie information (Cookie Tool) and also withdraw it at any time with effect for the future and without stating reasons for such action. The withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawful nature of the processing of your data via Cookies up until the withdrawal. You can use the corresponding link at the bottom of our websites to access the Cookie information at any time and view or adjust your consent.

If you do not wish to permit use of Cookies, you can also set your browser so that it deletes Cookies from your hard drive after ending your internet use, blocks the storage of Cookies or informs you of the receipt of a Cookie before a Cookie is stored. If you reject the storage of Cookies or deactivate this in your browser, we cannot ensure that you shall be able to use all of our services without restrictions. Deleting Cookies after the end of a visit to our website has no implication on the usability of FBB’s services.

In detail, we use the following techniques:

Our digital applications use a cookiebot from the company Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Str. 7, D-80331 Munich, Germany, insofar as we use Cookies in the digital application. Cookiebot is a consent service that informs users about the technologies used and logs the respective setting and consent to the use of corresponding technologies. The service ensures that the technology we use, which is not absolutely required to operate the digital application, is only used if you have consented to its use. Amendments may be made to the consent selection at any time. Data are processed in the European Union. Questions about data protection can also be directed to datenschutz@usercentrics.com.

The software uses Cookies and pixel technology to document the user settings made. In that respect, the following information is used:

• Opt-in and opt-out data
• Referrer URL
• User agent
• User
• Consent ID
• Time of consent
• Consent type
• Browser languages

The legal basis for data processing is our legitimate interest in accordance with Article 6(1), Sentence 1, Point f), GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in recording the consent or refusing to use the relevant technology for our digital services. We would not be able to use such technology without such consent. Our service cannot be maintained economically without the use of appropriate technologies. Similarly, we have an interest in customising our services, for which we require usage information. Our legitimate interest outweighs your legitimate interest in this respect because we only process technically necessary information that enables the use of technology without establishing a direct link to the user. The technology used documents your declaration of consent and, therefore, guarantees your rights as a data subject.

Processed information is stored for 3 years and then erased.

In accordance with your consent, (Article 6(1), Point a, GDPR), our websites and mobile web applications use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of the company Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). The parent company of Google Ireland Limited is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

By setting the Cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of our website. By way of each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and in which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is prompted to submit data for the purpose of online analysis and marketing to Google via the Google Analytics component.

We use the User ID function. With the help of the user ID, we can assign a unique, permanent ID to one or more sessions (and the activities within these sessions) and analyse user behaviour across devices].

In Google Analytics 4, the anonymisation of IP addresses is activated by default. As a result of the IP anonymization, your IP address shall be shortened by Google before it is forwarded. This applies within the Member States of the European Union or in other signatory states to the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases shall the full IP address be forwarded to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. According to Google, the IP address forwarded as part of Google Analytics from your browser shall not be grouped together with other data from Google.

The following data, inter alia, are collected as part of this technical procedure:

• Account data
• Anonymised IP address
• Bounce rates
• Browser information
• Click path
• Date and time of the visit
• Device information
• Downloads
• Dwell time
• Location information
• Internet service provider
• Mouse movements
• Screen resolution
• Behavioural data
• Referrer URL
• App updates

Google shall use this information on our behalf to analyse your use of the website and compile reports on website activity. Google Analytics’ reports are used to analyse the performance of our website and the success of our marketing campaigns.

Similarly, Google may link the data with other user data such as search histories, personal accounts or usage data of other devices in Google’s possession to use such information for its own or third party services and advertising.. Google shall also, where applicable, forward such information to third parties (also state bodies), if this is specified by law or insofar as third parties process such data by order of Google. According to its statement Google shall, under no circumstances, link your IP address to other data from Google. For more detailed information, please see the Data Protection Notices of Google Analytics (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245) or contact https://support.google.com/policies/contact/general_privacy_form.

The recipient of the data is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The information about your use of this website generated by the Cookies is also forwarded to a Google server in the USA and stored there. According to the view to date of the European Court of Justice, the laws of the USA do not guarantee an adequate level of data protection. Your data may, in particular, be accessed by US authorities without your knowledge and without you having any effective legal protection against this.

However, the European Commission adopted its adequacy decision for the USA on 10 July 2023. Google LLC is certified in accordance with the EU-US Privacy Framework. Data forwarding is, therefore, legally permissible. We have also entered into the EU standard contractual clauses with the provider because Google servers are distributed worldwide and forwarding to third countries (for example to Singapore) cannot be completely ruled out.

Forwarding your data to Google’s servers is based on your consent in accordance with Article 49 (1) a) GDPR. As previously explained above, you may withdraw such consent at any time with effect for the future and without stating reasons for such action. The withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawful nature of the processing of your data via Cookies up until the withdrawal.

As a user of this analytics technology, we are responsible for the processing of your personal data insofar as we exert an influence on it. This is limited to the setting of the corresponding Cookie once you have granted your consent to its use by us and its deactivation once you have withdrawn your consent. We exert no influence on the processing of your data by Google itself. Insofar, Google assumes primary responsibility for data processing in accordance with the agreements in place with us. Only Google shall decide on the scope, type and duration of its own processing of raw data. Information has not been obtained on the extent to which, where and for how long the data are stored, the extent to which Google honours existing deletion obligations, the evaluations and links used via the data and to whom the data are forwarded or whether or not data processing operations are altered. Therefore, we explicitly draw attention to the fact that your data may be stored by Google in line with Google’s data usage instructions and may be used for business purposes.

You can either contact us or Google to exercise your data protection rights. If we receive corresponding requests then we shall forward these, if necessary, to Google for processing without delay.

Furthermore, you can prevent the installation of the Cookies by a corresponding setting of your browser software by downloading and installing a browser plug-in (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). However, we would like to inform you, that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full.  

You may revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by accessing the Cookie settings https://ber.berlin-airport.de/de.html#reopen_cookiebot and changing your selection there. The lawful nature of the processing based on the consent up until the revocation is not affected.

The data sent by us and linked to Cookies are automatically erased after 14 months. The maximum lifespan of Google Analytics Cookies is 2 years. Data for which the retention period has been reached are automatically deleted once a month.

You can find more information about the terms and conditions of use of Google Analytics and data protection at Google at https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/de/ and at https://policies.google.com/?hl=de.

Adobe also uses Cookies.

If the information generated by the Cookies regarding use of the website is forwarded to an Adobe server, then the settings guarantee that the IP address shall be anonymised before the geolocalisation, and before being stored at Adobe it shall be replaced by a generic IP address. The IP anonymisation on this website means that the IP address is previously shortened within the Member States of the European Union and in the other contracting states of the Treaty on the European Economic Area. The Cookies set by Adobe have a term of 24 months.

By order of the operator of this website, Adobe shall use such information to evaluate the use of the website by the users, compile reports on the website activities and render additional services associated with the website use and the internet use for the website operator.

The following data are processed as part of using the technology:

• Account data
• Anonymised IP address

The Cookie technology is exclusively used with your consent within the scope of the Cookie information. Consent granted there may be withdrawn at any time and without stating reasons with effect for the future. The withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawful nature of the processing of your data via Cookies up until the withdrawal. You can access the Cookie information via the corresponding link at the bottom of our websites at any time and view and adjust your consent. 

Furthermore, you can prevent the storage of the Cookies by a corresponding setting in your browser software.

At https://www.adobe.com/de/privacy/policy.html you can find further information about data protection at Adobe.

Adobe and FBB as users of this technology are jointly responsible for the personal data processing. However, we exert no influence on the processing of their data, which is carried out by Adobe itself. Insofar, Adobe assumes the primary responsibility with regard to the data processing as per agreement. Only Adobe shall decide on the scope, the type and the duration of its own processing of the raw data.  Information has not been obtained on the extent to which, where and for how long the data are stored, the extent to which Adobe honours existing deletion obligations, the evaluations and links used via the data and to whom the data are forwarded or whether or not data processing operations are altered. Therefore, we explicitly draw attention to the fact that  Adobe may store your data in line with its data usage instructions and such data may be used for business purposes. This also comprises data processing in the USA. According to the view to date of the European Court of Justice, the laws of the USA do not guarantee an adequate level of data protection. Your data may, in particular, be accessed by US authorities without you becoming aware of this and without you having any effective legal protection against this.

However, the European Commission adopted its adequacy decision for the USA on 10 July 2023. Google LLC is certified in accordance with the EU-US Privacy Framework. Data forwarding is, therefore, permitted. We have also entered into the EU standard contractual clauses with the provider because Google servers are distributed worldwide and forwarding to third countries (for example to Singapore) cannot be completely ruled out.

Forwarding your data to Google’s servers is based on your consent in accordance with Article 49 (1) a) GDPR.

You can either contact us or Adobe to exercise your rights as a data subject. If we receive corresponding requests, then we shall forward these, if necessary, without to Adobe for processing.

As users, we receive statistical evaluations relating to calls, range or user structure of our websites and applications. We use the evaluations of Adobe to find out more about the conduct of our website users by evaluating site calls, usage figures and link clicks etc. and in this manner to continually analyse our web offer for continual optimisation and further development. We use the evaluations of Adobe to find out more about the conduct of our website users by evaluating site calls, usage figures and link clicks etc. and in this manner to continually analyse our web offer for continual optimisation and further development.

We have integrated the services of Google Maps on our website to make the advantages of the interactive location selection available to you within the scope of noise protection and aircraft noise complaints.

We use YouTube in parts of our online offers. The YouTube software uses Cookies for the data collection and the statistical data evaluation. YouTube uses Cookies for the entry of reliable video statistics, to avoid fraud and improve the user-friendliness. By way of the YouTube Cookies, we receive statistical values relating to the calls of individual videos embedded in the website without a reference to the respective user.

YouTube’s embedded videos are made available as part of the permitted use by YouTube. If you notice the infringement of copyrights, please report this directly to YouTube.

We use embedded YouTube videos in the extended data protection mode. This means: YouTube does not store any data for a user displaying a website with an embedded YouTube video player who, however, does not click on the video to start the playback. If the YouTube video player is clicked on, YouTube may, under certain circumstances, store Cookies on the user’s computer. However, no personal Cookie information is stored for playing embedded videos. (Source: YouTube “Activate the extended data protection mode for embedded videos”)

We exert no influence on the further processing and use of the data by Google. Therefore, we explicitly draw attention to the fact that your data may be stored by Google in line with their data usage instructions and may be used for business purposes.

The data are forwarded irrespective whether you have set up a Google user account. If you are logged into the user account, your data shall be allocated directly to your account. Further information about the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by Google can be found in the company’s privacy policy, which is available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de

We cannot exclude that Google is using servers in the USA. According to the view to date of the European Court of Justice, the laws of the USA do not guarantee an adequate level of data protection. Your data may, in particular, be accessed by US authorities without you becoming aware of this and without you having any effective legal protection against this.

Within the website, the “Google Custom Search Engine (“Google CSE”) of Google Inc. (“Google”), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA is used as a central search service. The integrated search service enables a full-text search for contents of the official Internet offer berlin-airport.de (website). By using the search function on the header of our website, you shall be taken to a separate search page on our website. Before using the search function, you must consent to the corresponding data processing. Data processing by us and Google as well as the forwarding of data to the Google service shall only take place with your consent in accordance with Article 6(1), Sentence 1, Point a), GDPR, and with regard to the forwarding of your data to the USA in accordance with Article 49(1), Point a), GDPR.

Activation of the search

After consenting to data processing, you can access the search function of our website. By entering a search term in the search box and then pressing the enter key or the search icon (magnifying glass symbol), the user activates the search function and the search results page is called up. The corresponding search results are reloaded from Google and displayed with the plug-in provided by Google in our website. In this process, data such as search terms are also forwarded to the Google search service. Google further states that, in principle, the following information (including personal data) may be processed, among other things:

• Log data (in particular the IP address);
• Location-related information;
• Unique application numbers;
• Cookies and similar technologies.

If you are logged into your Google account, Google may add the processed information to your account depending on your account settings and treat it as personal data, cf. in particular https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/partners/.

You can prevent direct linking of data by logging out of your Google account or also by making the corresponding account settings in your Google account. Furthermore, you can prevent the installation of Cookies – if set by Google – by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

You can find more information in Google's privacy policy, which you can access here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

You can find information on Google’s privacy settings at: https://privacy.google.com/take-control.html

Search results and data transmission to Google

The plug-in developed and provided by Google (Google Custom Search Engine “Google CSE”) is integrated in the search results page by the controller as a software module without alteration. The plug-in enables automated communication (data exchange) between the accessed search results page and the Google service when the search results page is accessed. Use of the search function provided by Google involves a dynamic transfer of data by the service provider Google to the search results page.

Data are only forwarded to Google as soon as the user uses the search function, i.e. starts a full-text search and thereby calls up the search results page. By using the search function within the search results page, user data are also forwarded to Google at the same time.

By using the full-text search and thereby calling up the search results page, you consent to use of the Google search service and, therefore, to the forwarding of data to the Google service. This includes, for example, the search terms you enter and the IP address of the computer you are using. Please note that different data protection standards apply to Google than to us. We expressly draw attention to the fact that the processing, in particular the storage, erasure and use of potentially forwarded personal data are the responsibility of the provider of the search service and that we have no influence on the type and scope of the forwarded data or on the further processing.

We use Facebook Pixel if you have granted your consent. Facebook Pixel is a service of Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. Meta Platforms Inc. has its headquarters in the USA (Meta Platforms Inc., One Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA)

Facebook Pixel is a tracking technology offered by Facebook and used by other Facebook services. It is used to track visitors’ interactions with websites (“Events”) after they have clicked on an ad placed on Facebook or other services provided by Meta (“Conversion”). The used technology allows the measurement, evaluation and optimisation of the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes.

The use of Facebook Pixel by FBB does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the user’s person. The data collected (e.g. the user’s IP address) are forwarded to Facebook by the action pixel. Such data are stored and processed by Facebook for the purpose of conversion measurement. FBB receives reports from Facebook on conversion measurement in pseudonymised form. These reports also do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the identity of the users. However, it cannot be ruled out that Facebook may link the forwarded data with other personal data relating to you (e.g. user data for an existing Facebook account) or that Facebook may use corresponding data for its own further purposes.

A Cookie or pixel may be stored on your computer for the purpose of using the Facebook Pixel and tracking corresponding activities.

We exert no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Facebook via use of the Facebook Pixel and, therefore, present the processes known to us: By way of the integration of the Facebook Pixel, Facebook receives the information that you have called up on the corresponding web page of our website or clicked on one of our advertisements. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, it is possible that Facebook shall gain knowledge of your IP address and other identifying features and use them to create your profile.

Data processed by Facebook Pixel: Ads viewed, content viewed, device information, geographic location, HTTP headers, interactions with advertisement, services and products, IP address, items clicked, marketing information, pages visited, pixel ID, referrer URL, usage data, user behaviour, Facebook Cookie information, Facebook user ID, usage/click behaviour, browser information, device operating system, device ID, user agent, browser type.

For further information regarding data processing by Facebook, please refer to Facebook’s corresponding privacy statement at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/

The longest potential storage period on a device set when using the Cookie storage method is 1 year.

This service may forward the collected data to another country. Please note that this service may forward data to a country that does not provide an adequate level of data protection. It cannot be excluded that the information collected by Facebook is also stored on Facebook servers in the USA. According to the view to date of the European Court of Justice, the laws of the USA do not guarantee an adequate level of data protection. Your data may, in particular, be accessed by US authorities without your knowledge and without you having any effective legal protection against this.

However, the European Commission adopted its adequacy decision for the USA on 10 July 2023. Meta is certified in accordance with the EU-US Privacy Framework. Data forwarding is, therefore, permitted. We have also entered into the EU standard contractual clauses with the provider because Meta servers are distributed worldwide and forwarding to third countries (for example to Singapore) cannot be completely ruled out.

To exercise your data protection rights, you can contact either us or Google. If we receive corresponding requests then we shall forward these, if necessary, to Google for processing without delay.

Google can also link the data with other data of the user such as search history, personal accounts or usage data of other devices of the user, which are available to Google, in order to use this information for own or services of third parties as well as advertising. Google shall also, where applicable, forward such information to third parties (also state bodies), if this is specified by law or insofar as third parties process such data by order of Google. According to its statement Google shall under no circumstances, link your IP address to other data from Google. For more detailed information, please see the Data Protection Notices of Google Analytics (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245) or contact https://support.google.com/policies/contact/general_privacy_form.

The recipient of the data is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The information about your use of this website generated by the Cookies are also forwarded to a server of Google in the USA and stored there. According to the view to date of the European Court of Justice, the laws of the USA do not guarantee an adequate level of data protection. Your data may, in particular, be accessed by US authorities without your knowledge and without you having any effective legal protection against this.

However, the European Commission adopted its adequacy decision for the USA on 10 July 2023. Google LLC is certified in accordance with the EU-US Privacy Framework. Data forwarding is, therefore, legally permissible. We have also entered into the EU standard contractual clauses with the provider because Google servers are distributed worldwide and forwarding to third countries (for example to Singapore) cannot be completely ruled out.

Forwarding your data to Google’s servers is based on your consent in accordance with Article 49 (1) a) GDPR. As previously explained, you can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future and without giving reasons. The revocation of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing of your data that took place until the revocation.

As a user of this analytics technology, we are responsible for the processing of your personal data insofar as we exert an influence on it. This is limited to the setting of the corresponding Cookie once you have granted your consent to its use by us and its deactivation once you have withdrawn your consent. We exert no influence on the processing of your data by Google itself. Insofar, Google assumes primary responsibility for data processing in accordance with the agreements in place with us. Only Google shall decide on the scope, type and duration of its own processing of the raw data. There is no knowledge concerning to what extent, at which location and for which duration the data are stored, to what extent Google satisfies existing erasure obligations, which evaluations and links are carried out with the data and to whom the data are forwarded or whether data processing activities are changed. Therefore, we explicitly draw attention to the fact that your data may be stored by Google in line with Google’s data usage instructions and may be used for business purposes.

To exercise your data protection rights, you can contact either us or Google. If we receive corresponding requests then we shall forward these, if necessary, to Google for processing without delay.

Furthermore, you can prevent the installation of the Cookies by a corresponding setting of your browser software by downloading and installing a browser plug-in (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). However, we would like to inform you, that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full.  

You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by accessing the Cookie settings https://ber.berlin-airport.de/de.html#reopen_cookiebot and changing your selection there. The lawful nature of the processing based on the consent up until the revocation is not affected.

The tags are deleted 14 days following the call up.

Our websites and mobile web applications use Google Ads Remarketing & Conversion Tracking with your consent (Article 6(1), Point a, GDPR).

Conversion tracking records what happens following a click on an advert placed by us via Google Ads when users subsequently visit the website. In the case of conversions, we measure whether users perform a specific action on the website specified by us (e.g. whether services are ordered) after clicking on an advert placed by us via Google Ads. This allows the user to understand which keywords, adverts, ad groups or campaigns lead to the desired user interaction.

By way of Google Ads Remarketing, website users can be shown interest-based adverts on other websites within the Google Display Network (e.g. in Google Search or on YouTube). To that end, user interactions are analysed, e.g. the products and services a user is interested in. This enables the operator to display targeted adverts to the user on other websites, including after they have visited the website.

The services are operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). The parent company of Google Ireland Limited is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

In Google, the anonymisation of IP addresses is activated by default. As a result of the IP anonymization, your IP address shall be shortened by Google before it is forwarded. This applies within the Member States of the European Union or in other signatory states to the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases shall the full IP address be forwarded to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. According to Google, the IP address forwarded as part of Google Analytics from your browser shall not be grouped together with other data from Google.

The following data, inter alia, are collected as part of this technical procedure:

• Browser languages
• Browser type
• Clicked advertisements
• Cookie ID
• Date and time of the visit
• IP address
• Referrer URL
• Web enquiry
• User behaviour
• Dwell time
• Visited pages
• Content in which the user is interested
• Website use
• Advertising identifier
• Device information

Google shall use such information on our behalf to analyse your use of the website and compile reports on website activity. Google reports are used to analyse the performance of our website and the success of our marketing campaigns.

Google can also link the data with other data of the user such as search history, personal accounts or usage data of other devices of the user, which are available to Google, in order to use this information for own or services of third parties as well as advertising. Google shall also, where applicable, forward such information to third parties (also state bodies), if this is specified by law or insofar as third parties process such data by order of Google.

Our website uses the “LinkedIn Insight Tag” conversion tool from LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, with your consent (Article 6(1), Point a, GDPR).

Therefore, we explicitly draw attention to the fact that your data may be stored by LinkedIn in line with LinkedIn’s data usage instructions and may be used for business purposes.

To exercise your data protection rights, you can contact either us or Google. If we receive corresponding requests then we shall forward these, if necessary, to Google for processing without delay.
