Privacy policy
1. Controller, contact, and data protection officer:
The controller within the meaning of data protection law is Baller League GmbH, Kastanienallee 6, 10435 Berlin ("we"). Our data protection officer can be reached at datenschutzbeauftragter@ballerleague.de.
We conduct the BALLER LEAGUE Scouting Combine Event ("BLSC"), where we continue the recruiting process for the BALLER LEAGUE and search for suitable players (male and female) for the BALLER LEAGUE.
2. Data categories, purpose of processing, and legal basis:
2.1 Participant data
We process the data you provided to us with your application, such as your name, address, mobile phone number, email address, photo, clothing size, football club and achievements, and other personal information that you have voluntarily provided to us, so-called participant data.
Data is processed to conduct the BLSC in accordance with our terms and conditions of participation and thus for contractual purposes, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The contact details you provide will be used to communicate with you.
2.2. Performance Data
We will conduct various tests at the BLSC to help us assess your soccer skills. This data may be displayed in overviews and in the draft stream.
The following will be tested in particular: acceleration, agility, dribbling, vertical jump, long jump, shooting power, shooting accuracy, passing accuracy, and ball control. In addition, the reaction times and defensive ability of goalkeepers will be assessed. All of this information is your performance data.
Only through the tests can we determine which players are best suited for the BALLER LEAGUE. The collection of performance data is therefore also carried out to conduct participation and based on the data contract, i.e., for contractual purposes, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
2.3. Marketing Data
We would like to use the BLSC to report on this and promote the BALLER LEAGUE. To this end, we, and possibly also sponsors and advertising partners, will create text contributions, photos, audio recordings, and videos, as well as conduct interviews with BLSC participants. We refer to this data as "marketing data" below. It includes, in particular, your name, your likeness, your nickname, your position, your club, your age, the name of your team, the number of goals scored, and all other football-related data, especially the performance data that you disclose to us and/or third parties.
The marketing data will, in turn, be used to comprehensively promote the BALLER LEAGUE in the media (especially the internet, radio, television, and social media) offline and online. Data processing is carried out based on the data contract and therefore for contractual purposes, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
3. Recipients and categories of recipients:
The performance data will be shown, in particular, to the coach and, if applicable, the team captains to decide on team allocation.
The marketing data, including the performance data, will be shared with sponsors or partners who may also use it. This includes, in particular, Xing (New Work SE) and Prematch Sports GmbH with the app of the same name, both of which are authorized to publish player data.
4. International data transfer:
Personal data will only be transferred to a third country outside the European Union or to an international organization if the data is published in a sufficiently wide medium, such as the Internet, with worldwide access.
5. Storage period and deletion:
If you are eliminated from the BLSC, your fitness data will be deleted no later than six months after the BLSC. Your participant data will remain with us for up to three years after the BLSC. The marketing data can be used for the promotion of the BALLER LEAGUE until further notice. This includes not only this season, but also future seasons.
6. Obligation to provide data:
You are not obligated under applicable law to provide personal data. By confirming the terms and conditions of participation and concluding the data processing agreement, you are obligated to provide your performance and marketing data for the stated purposes, as otherwise the BLSC cannot be carried out properly.
7. Your rights:
Under applicable data protection law, in addition to the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority and the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of consent, you have the rights set out below under a) - f).
