What data do we process from you and where do we get it from?
As a rule, we receive your data as part of your application and directly from you. This includes your inventory data (e.g. name, address, contact details (e.g. e-mail address), details of the booked event, details of the voucher (e.g. ticket provider, order number, voucher number, content data (e.g. further information / explanations in the form) as well as the information from your documents (d. (e.g. certificate of short-time work, pension or unemployment benefit). Further information can also be obtained from the documents you have sent, such as employment status, income or information about your occupation or employer, etc. In addition, we process log data, such as data at the time of submission, ticket ID etc..
We also process usage, meta-data and communication data that are automatically collected when using our websites. Further information on the processing of this data can be found on the respective website under “Privacy Policy”. In the following we refer exclusively to the processing of your data regarding the payment of vouchers.
For what purposes and on what legal basis do we process your data?
According to art. 240 §5 para. 5 No. 1 of the Introductory Law to the Civil Code, the holder of a voucher may demand payment of the value from the organiser if a reference to a voucher is unreasonable for the holder in view of his personal circumstances and the original event could not take place due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We process your data for the purpose of verifying and processing your payment claim on the basis of the information you provide and the documents you send. The relevant legal basis for the processing of your data is art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
In addition, it may happen that we use your data in the context of a legitimate interest according to art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. This is the case if we reject your request for payment as it is considered by us to be unjustified. Our legitimate interest is then the demonstrability of the apparent non-existence of the conditions of art. 240 §5 para. 5 No. 1 of the Introductory Law to the Civil Code in the event of a legal dispute.
In the event of a successful payment of the voucher amount, we will process some of your data due to a legal obligation in accordance with art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Thus, tax-relevant documents in connection with the disbursement (e. g. accounting documents) is processed and stored in accordance with the requirements of the HGB and the tax regulations.
Who has access to your data?
Within our company, only those employees have access to your data that are absolutely necessary for them to carry out their tasks. In addition, it may happen that we pass on your information to third parties in total or even only parts of it.
In particular, the ticket dealer (Paylogic.com [See Tickets GmbH in Berlin], Eventim.de [CTS EVENTIM AG & CO. KGaA in Munich] or Festicket.de [Festicket Ltd. in London], where you purchased the original ticket, has access to some of your data in a necessary way. In the event of our agreement to your application, we will inform that provider of the acceptance of your application as well as details of your ticket / voucher, so that it will arrange for a payment to be made to you. You have already disclosed your further details to the respective ticket dealer within the context of the ticket order itself (e.g. name, contact details, payment details, etc.)
Note: Your sent documents will not be forwarded to those!

We use the “Zendesk” CRM system from Zendesk Inc. 1019 Market Street, San Francisco, CA 94 103 (USA) based on our legitimate interests (efficient and fast processing of requests). To this end, we have an order processing contract with Zendesk as well as another contract with so-called EU standard contractual clauses in which Zendesk undertakes to process the data only in accordance with our instructions and which ensure an adequate level of data protection in third countries.
