The responsible body for data processing on this website is:
flugsimulator.com GmbH
Telephone: +49 421 241 33 70
E-Mail: [email protected]

Unless a more specific storage period has been stated within this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing ceases to apply. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.
3.4. General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO or Art. 9 Abs. 2 lit. a DSGVO, if special categories of data according to Art. 9 Abs. 1 DSGVO are processed. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Art. 49 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), processing is additionally based on § 25 Abs. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
If your data is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO. We also process your data if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. c DSGVO. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The relevant legal basis in each individual case is explained in the following paragraphs of this Privacy Policy.
3.5. Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
We use, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA or other data protection-wise insecure third countries. If these tools are active, your personal data can be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We point out that these countries do not guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It cannot be excluded that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) process, evaluate, and store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
3.6. Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
3.7. Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 DSGVO)
WHEN DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F DSGVO, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 ABS. 1 DSGVO).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEN NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 ABS. 2 DSGVO).
3.8. Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the DSGVO, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
3.9. Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.
3.10. Access, deletion, and rectification
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correct or delete this data.

3.11. Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its deletion.
If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21 Abs. 1 DSGVO, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – apart from storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
3.12. SSL or TLS encryption

Our website uses functions of the Google Analytics web analytics service. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses “cookies,” small text files stored by your web browser on your device that enable analysis of your website use. The information generated by cookies about your use of our website is transmitted to a Google server and stored there. The server is usually located in the USA.
The setting of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize our web offering and, if necessary, our advertising.
9.2.1. IP Anonymization
We use Google Analytics together with IP anonymization. It ensures that Google shortens your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. In exceptional cases, Google may transmit the full IP address to a server in the USA and shorten it there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide us with other services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
9.2.2. Browser Plugin
You can prevent the setting of cookies by your web browser, but doing so may limit some functions of our website. You can also prevent Google from collecting data generated by cookies about your use of the website (including your IP address) and processing such data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
9.2.3. Objection to Data Collection

9.2.5. Demographic Features in Google Analytics
Our website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. This allows for the creation of reports containing statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. These data come from interest-based advertising from Google as well as visitor data from third-party providers. The data cannot be assigned to any specific person. You can disable this function at any time via your Google account’s ad settings, or by generally prohibiting Google Analytics from collecting your data as described under “Objection to Data Collection.”
