When using our digital information and service offers, we will process your personal data for various purposes, depending on the type and purpose of the provided applications, the services or the possibility for contact.

When visiting our digital services, if you do not register or transmit information otherwise, we will collect data, which your browser transmits to our server. We also use cookies (small text files). In addition, we will only process such personal data, which are necessary in order to be able to make a requested performance, information or a service available. 

We have contractually bound service providers for the provision, support and further development of our digital information services and commissioned these providers with technical support and development. Service providers are carefully selected by us, are contractually bound to our instructions and are subject to regular monitoring. 

Personal data will not generally be forwarded to other third parties, unless this is necessary owing to statutory provisions or a court order, you have agreed to the forwarding of such data within the scope of individually granted consents or it is necessary in individual cases for the execution of a contract concluded with you and/or in order to respond to enquiries or complaints.

When accessing our digital information services, such as the websites www.berlin-airport.de, cdm.berlin-airport.de, werbung.berlin-airport.de, parken.berlin-airport.de, publications.berlin-airport.de, jobs.berlin-airport.de, roadmap.berlin-airport.de, wifi.berlin-airport.de or www.ber-testen.de your device will automatically send information to our server and temporarily save it in the log file. We store by default your IP address, the visited URL, the name of the website from which you have visited us, the web pages on our website that you call up as well as the date and duration of your visit to our website. In addition, the status and the transferred data volume are recorded within the scope of an enquiry, along with product and version information about the browser used and the operating system on your device. 

The data will not be used, except in anonymised form for statistical purposes as well as for guaranteeing the system security and system functionality. This information is used to collect statistics on which digital services are most frequently used in order to better understand what information users are looking for and want to find on our website. We use these data for the operation of our digital services, including in particular to determine and remedy faults as well as system attacks in order to be able to determine the capacity utilisation and to make adjustments or improvements. The legal basis for processing is our special interest as described above according to Article 6(1)(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These data are erased regularly after their purpose is served. 

You have the right to object to the possibility of the processing and use of your personal data, with effect for the future, insofar as legitimate data processing is carried out according to Article 6(1)(1)(e) or (f) GDPR and this is necessary owing to the existence of a special situation on your part. You can send your objection to us informally by using the contact details stated under Point 1 “Data processing controller”.

When exercising your objection, please provide the reasons as to why we should not process your personal data any further. In the event of your justified objection, we will either discontinue or adjust the data processing and link this to the erasure and/or anonymisation of the data, or present our prevailing and compelling legitimate grounds on the basis of which we will continue the processing. Upon request, we will only process the personal data in a restricted manner in accordance with Article 18 GDPR until the respective retention period has expired and your data are therefore due to be erased permanently.

With your consent you can subscribe to the most varied mailings (e.g. newsletters, press releases) all relating to the work and services of the FBB and its subsidiaries. For the contents of the mailings please refer to the respective registration forms.

For the respective despatch of the mailings, we collect the information requested in the respective registration mask, but mostly your e-mail address in addition to your name. With certain newsletters, such as for example the Corporate Travel News, the Travel News and the FBB press releases information regarding the company, professional title, address and telephone number is also collected. If applicable, you also have the possibility to voluntarily enter further data, which are marked accordingly. We require the respective data in order to be able to regularly send you our mailings with a personal address regarding the concrete events, services, relating to the Airport Marketing or fields of interest. In addition, we can improve statistical and anonymised evaluations relating to requested information. The legal basis of the data processing for mailings is Article 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR and is based on your consent.

The consent and registration is exclusively carried out in the so-called Double-Opt-In-procedure, with which you complete your registration by confirming your deposited e-mail address. In addition, we respectively store your IP addresses and times of the registration for the newsletter in order to be able to prove the registration and, if applicable, to be able to investigate possible misuse.

You can revoke your consent to the sending of the mailings at all times with effect for the future and thus cancel the mailing. For this purpose, you can either use the link provided in the mailing or you can send us an e-mail for the Berlin Airport News and the press releases to pressestelle@berlin-airport.de respectively for the Corporate Travel News and Travel News to marketing@berlin-airport.de or a message to the contact data stated under 1). Your revocation will lead to the erasure of the stored personal data with regard to the respective mailing subscription. A new registration is principally possible again at all times.

We use the following company for the sending of newsletters: 

• Dynamics Consulting GmbH, Mies-van-der Rohe-Straße 8, 80807 Hamburg

We exclusively make the data that are necessary for the despatch available to the service provider. The service provider has been selected carefully, is bound to our instructions as per contract and is controlled regularly.

In case of questions, suggestions and contacts of all kinds, you have the possibility to contact us via provided contact forms, by e-mail, telephone and post. When using e-mails, post or telephone you will decide yourself which information you would like to make available to us. Various data are collected in case of contact forms, depending on the contact form, in order to be able to process your enquiry, indications or suggestions expediently. At least salutation, name, valid e-mail address and a description of the concern are necessary to be able to send corresponding messages to us. If applicable, you also have the possibility to voluntarily enter further data, which are marked accordingly. We require the respective data in order to be able to process and answer your message. The legal basis for the data processing is Article 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR and is based on a legitimate interest of our company, which comprises the effective processing of the enquiries directed at us.

Insofar as corresponding contact forms on the respective digital information offers are allocated to concrete contact partners or organisation units, these persons or organisation units will also receive the message created by you. 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 forwarding to third parties for examination and reply to your enquiry/complaint is based on the previously described legitimate interest according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR, insofar as processing is not possible without a corresponding examination or preliminary work by third parties.

If you use contact forms, with which a contact of a third party is listed on the right edge of the website in the field “contact partner”, then your enquiry will be transmitted directly to the company stated in the field “contact partner”. In this case FBB will forward your personal data directly. The respective third party company is insofar exclusively responsible for the data processing and the rights and obligations from the data protection.

The personal data collected by us are exclusively processed for the purposes of processing your enquiry or your 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. Email correspondence is principally archived by taking the storage regulations under tax law into consideration and will only be erased after expiry of this time. 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 Para. 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.

You have the right to object to the possibility of the processing and use of your personal data with effect for the future, insofar as a justified data processing is carried out according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. e or lit. f GDPR and this is necessary owing to the existence of a special situation on your part. You can send your objection to us informally. For this purpose please use the same communication means, which you previously used in order to contact us.

When exercising your objection we request you to present the reasons why we should not further process your personal data. In the event of your justified objection we will either discontinue or adjust the data processing and connect this with the data erasure or anonymisation or present our prevailing and essential reasons that are worthy of protection, based on which we shall continue the processing. Upon request we will only process the personal data to a limited extent still pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR until the respective storage deadline has expired and therefore your data will be erased permanently.

If you have any questions or complaints about the FBB noise protection program or in relation to flight movements and aircraft noise, you have the option of contacting us using the contact forms provided. Depending on the contact form, you will be asked to provide different data so that we can process your inquiry or complaint in a meaningful way. Title, name, valid email address, postal address, property address and description of the issue are required in order to be able to send corresponding messages to us. If necessary, you also have the option of voluntarily providing further data, which are marked accordingly. The legal basis for data processing within the framework of aircraft noise information or complaints is provided by Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. a) of the GDPR and is based on your voluntarily given consent. Once we have answered aircraft noise inquiries or received applications, questions and complaints about the noise protection program, data processing is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. f) of the GDPR and is performed in our legitimate interest in being able to process your request and document our answers.

Your messages are generally processed within the company and, if necessary, made available to different areas of the company for processing. Those processing a message may have to forward your request to a third party for an answer or inspection. In particular, this may include German air traffic control, airlines or, within the framework of the noise protection program, service providers for processing the respective noise protection application (e.g. engineering offices for the technical claim assessment). Forwarding to third parties for checking and answering your request/complaint is based on legitimate interest according to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. f) of the GDPR. 

The personal data we collect will only be processed for the purpose of processing your request.

Your data will generally be stored for five years after processing has been completed for the purposes of documentation, traceability and, if necessary, renewed contact or further answers, unless a longer storage period is to be applied in accordance with statutory provisions. This can be the case, in particular, with noise protection applications. In principle, the data are required for as long as they are required to prove the fulfilment of claims or compliance with obligations and insofar as there are statutory retention requirements. Accordingly, we will delete personal data relating to noise protection application documents for which, after examination, there is no entitlement to noise protection measures after 6 years, incomplete applications and completed application processing after 10 years from the end of processing, but no earlier than 5 years after Berlin Brandenburg Airport went into operation, in order to comply with the retention regulations, the obligation to provide evidence of planning approval and the statute of limitations.

We use the contractor USU Software GmbH, 71696 Möglingen for system maintenance and troubleshooting in accordance with Art. 28 of the GDPR.

To do this, please use the same contact options described above.

To exercise your right to object, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data. In the event of receiving your justified objection, we will either stop or adapt the data processing and combine this with data deletion or anonymization or state our overriding compelling reasons as to why we should continue with data processing. Upon request, we will only process personal data to a limited extent in accordance with Art. 18 of the GDPR until the respective retention period has expired, after which your data will be permanently deleted.

Therefore, we would like to explicitly draw your attention to the fact that your data may be stored and used for business purposes by the operators of the networks in accordance with their data usage information. 

The social networks operators and we as users of this technology are jointly responsible for processing personal data. The network operator contractually assumes the primary responsibility relating to data processing. Only it decides on the scope, type and duration of any data processing. As users of the social network and operators of our own network presence, we only receive statistical evaluations of the visits, reach or user structure of our social media channel. If you publish information about our network presence, review posts or share something publicly, we will receive information about the public information of your user account used during the activity. All data subject rights in accordance with Article 15 GDPR (such as information or deletion of data) can be asserted against both controllers. Any corresponding requests will be immediately forwarded to the network operator for processing.

You have the right to object to the possibility of processing and using your personal data with effect for the future, if authorised data processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. e or lit. f GDPR and this is necessary due to a special situation on your part. You can send us your objection informally to pressestelle@berlin-airport.de. When exercising your objection, we request that you explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data. In the event that your objection is justified, we will either discontinue or adapt the data processing and combine this with the deletion or anonymisation of the data, or we will forward your request to the operator of the social media network if they are responsible for data processing.

All of the information required for the service shall be requested on the booking form and additional entry screens. The legal basis for data processing shall be Article 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR, given that data processing is required to execute the agreement being concluded. Insofar as personal data is used for FBB's own advertising purposes, this shall be based on Article 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR and shall be in our legitimate interests. There shall be no transfer of your personal data to third parties without your express consent, provided that this is not required to render a service or execute an agreement or is due to the legal obligations of authorities, for example, to disclose information. 

You have the right, with future effect, to object to the possibility of any processing and use of your personal data, insofar as data is processed legitimately in accordance with  Article 6(1)(1)(e) or (f) GDPR and this is required owing to the existence of extenuating circumstances on your part. You can inform us of your objection in an informal manner using the contact details provided under point 1 "Data processing controller", or you can send an email to commercial@berlin-airport.de .

When exercising your right to object, we please ask that you state the reasons why we should not continue to process your personal data. If your objection is justified, we shall either cease or adapt data processing and erase or anonymise the data, or alternatively demonstrate that we have entirely compelling and legitimate grounds for us to continue data processing. Upon request, we shall only process personal data in a limited manner pursuant to Article 18 GDPR until the respective retention period has expired and your data is therefore permanently erased.

The controller integrates the plugin developed and provided by Google (Google Custom Search Engine “Google CSE”) as an “as-is” software module (unchanged) into the search results page. The plugin enables automated communication (data exchange) between the search results page accessed and the Google service when the search results page is accessed. Use of the search function provided by Google includes the dynamic transfer of data by the service provider Google to the search results page.

Data is transmitted to Google only when the user uses the search function, i.e., begins a full-text search and has thus accessed the search results page. When the search function within the search results page is used, user data are simultaneously transmitted to Google.

By using the full-text search, and therefore accessing the search results page, you consent to the use of the Google search service and thus the transmission of data to the Google service. These data include, for example, the search terms you have entered and the IP address of the computer used. Please note that different data protection standards apply for Google than for us. We expressly point out that the processing, in particular the storage, deletion and use of personal data that may have been transmitted is the responsibility of the provider of the search service, and that we have no influence on the type and scope of the transmitted data or on its further processing.

As part of our media presence on Facebook, FBB uses Facebook Pixel. Facebook Pixel is a service provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland. Meta Platforms Inc. is headquartered in the United States (Meta Platforms Inc., One Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA).

Facebook Pixel is a tracking technology offered by Facebook and featured in other Facebook services. It is used to track visitor interactions with websites ("events") after clicking on an ad on Facebook or other services provided by Meta ("conversion"). The technology allows the effectiveness of Facebook ads to be measured, evaluated and optimised for statistical and market research purposes.

The use of Facebook Pixel by FBB does not allow FBB to draw any conclusions about the user's identity. The data collected (e.g., the IP address of the user) is transmitted to Facebook by the action pixel. These are stored and processed by Facebook for the purpose of measuring conversion. FBB receives anonymous reports from Facebook on conversion measurement. In addition, these reports do not permit any conclusions to be drawn about a user’s identity. However, it cannot be ruled out that Facebook will link the transmitted data with other personal data about the user (e.g., user data of an existing Facebook account) or that Facebook may use the corresponding data for additional purposes of its own. FBB cannot influence any data processing performed by Facebook. For information on data processing by Facebook, please refer to the corresponding privacy policy of Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/

A cookie or pixel can be stored on the user's computer to enable the use of Facebook Pixel and the tracking of corresponding activities. The data will only be processed after receiving your consent (Article 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) to the use of the appropriate technology.

Data processed by Facebook Pixel: ads viewed, content viewed, device information, geographic location, HTTP headers, interactions with advertising, 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.

The longest potential storage time that can be set on a device when using the cookie storage method is 1 year.

This service may transfer the data collected to another country. Please note that this service may transfer data to a country that does not offer an adequate level of data protection. If the data is transferred to the USA, there is a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes, potentially leaving you without any entitlement to legal recourse. For more information on security guarantees, see Meta's privacy policy.

The lawfulness of the data processing activities performed until the revocation shall remain unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object in special cases

You also have the right to object to the possibility of the processing and use of your personal data with effect for the future, insofar as a justified data processing is carried out according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. e or lit. f GDPR and this is necessary owing to the existence of a special situation on your part. The objection can be exercised or declared towards FBB by letter, e-mail or telephone to the contact details given in this data protection notice.

When exercising your objection we request you to present the reasons why we should not process your personal data further. In the event of your justified objection we will either discontinue or adjust the data processing and connect this with the data erasure or anonymisation or present our prevailing and essential reasons that are worthy of protection, based on which we shall continue the processing. Upon request we will only process the personal data to a limited extent still pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR until the respective storage deadline has expired and therefore your data will be erased permanently.

Further rights

You can also request the blocking, rectification or erasure of your data insofar as permitted by law.

Please address corresponding claims to the contact addresses given in this data protection notice. The scope and content of the respective rights of data subjects are regulated in Articles 15 to 18 and 20 of the GDPR.
