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 mailing is your consent according to Article 6 (1) s. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

The request for your 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 email 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). The revocation of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing of your data that took place until the revocation. 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, Germany.

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 data processing is Article 6 (1) s. 1 lit. f) GDPR in conjunction with our company’s legitimate interest in being able to effectively process your enquiries and notices addressed to 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 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. The retention periods in this respect are regularly three years. In the event of an ongoing legal dispute, however, they may also require longer retention. 

In case of questions and complaints regarding the noise protection programme of FBB or with regard to flight movements and aircraft noise you have the possibility to contact us via the contact forms provided separately for this purpose. Depending on the contact form you have to provide various data in order for us to be able to thus process your enquiry or complaint in a useful manner. Required are salutation, name, valid e-mail address, address, property address and description of the concern in order 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.

The legal basis for data processing in the context of aircraft noise information or aircraft noise complaints is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f) GDPR in conjunction with our legitimate interest in being able to process your request properly and to document our responses.

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.

For system maintenance and troubleshooting, we use the contractor USU Software GmbH, 71696 Möglingen, Germany, as processor in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, who may only process your data in accordance with our instructions.

You can revoke the consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) s 1 lit. a GDPR to the processing of your data for handling your enquiry at all times with effect for the future. To do so, you can inform us informally, using the contact details listed under point 1 “Controller”, or send an e-mail to schallschutz_kontakt@berlin-airport.de or fluglaerm@berlin-airport.de. The revocation of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing of your data that took place until the revocation.

Specifically, we use the following cookies:

Our websites and mobile web applications use, according to your consent, (Article 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) 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 each call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject, after consent has been granted, is caused by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis.

Within the scope of this technical procedure, the following data are collected, among others:

• your IP address (in shortened form, see paragraph below),
• your user behaviour,
• your approximate location, and
• the websites you have visited.

When using Google Analytics, Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH implements the anonymisation of IP addresses by using the Google "anonymizeIP" code. Your IP address is therefore only recorded by Google in an abbreviated form within Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there.

Google will use this information in order to evaluate your use of this website and to compile reports on the website activities for the website operator. 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 will also, if applicable, transfer this information to third parties (also state bodies), if this is stipulated by law or insofar as third parties process these data by order of Google. According to its statement Google will under no circumstances, link your IP address to other data from Google. For more detailed information please refer to the data protection notices of Google Analytics (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245).

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 transferred to a server of Google in the USA and stored there. According to the European Court of Justice, the laws of the USA do not guarantee an adequate level of data protection. In particular, your data may be accessed by US authorities without you becoming aware of this and without you having any effective legal protection against this.

The transfer of your data to Google’s servers in the USA is based on your consent in accordance with Article 49 (1) a) GDPR. As already explained above, 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 by cookies that took place until the revocation. The duration of storage is 14 months.

As a user of this analysis technology, we are responsible for processing your personal data in so far that we have influence over it. This is limited to setting the relevant cookie after you have given your consent to its use by us and deactivating it after revoking your consent. We have no influence on the processing of this data, which is done by Google itself. In this respect, Google assumes primary responsibility with regard to data processing in accordance with the agreements that exist with us. Only Google decides on the scope, nature and duration of its own processing of the raw data. There is no information about the extent to which, where and for how long the data is stored, to what extent Google complies with existing deletion obligations, what evaluations and links are made with the data and to whom the data is passed on or whether data processing procedures are changed. Therefore, we would explicitly like to point out that your data may be stored by Google in accordance with Google’s data usage information and used for commercial purposes. By its own admission, Google has set itself a benchmark that corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield and has confirmed that it complies with applicable data protection laws when transferring data internationally. We have also agreed on standard contractual clauses with Google, the purpose of which is to ensure an appropriate level of data protection in third countries.

We as users receive statistical evaluations relating to calls, range or user structure of our websites and applications. We use Google Analytics in order to find out more about the conduct of our website users by evaluating site calls, usage figures, link clicks etc. and this way to continuously analyse our web offer for continuous optimisation and further development. 

To exercise your data protection rights, you can contact either us or Google. If we receive corresponding requests then we will 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 plugin (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.

The revocation of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing of your data that took place until the revocation.

By calling up the Google Maps function, the information is forwarded to Google that you have called up the offer from our website and your browser establishes a direct connection with Google’s servers. The map content is transmitted by Google directly to your browser, which then integrates it into the website.

We cannot exclude that Google is using servers in the USA. According to the European Court of Justice, the laws of the USA do not guarantee an adequate level of data protection.

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 will 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 transfer of data to the Google service will only take place with your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR and with regard to the transfer of your data to the USA in accordance with Article 49 (1) lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time and without stating reasons. The revocation of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing of your data by cookies that took place until the revocation.

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 transmitted 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.

Search results and data transmission to Google

The plugin developed and made available by Google (Google Custom Search Engine “Google CSE”) is integrated into the search results page by the controller as a software module “as-is” (unchanged). The plugin enables automated communication (data exchange) between the accessed search results page and the Google service when the search results page is accessed. The 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 is only transferred 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 is also transferred to Google at the same time.

By using the full-text search and thereby calling up the search results page, you consent to the use of the Google search service and thus also to the transfer 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 point out that the processing, in particular the storage, deletion and use of possibly transmitted personal data 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.

We use Facebook Pixel if you have given 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 technology used 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 person of the user. The data collected (e.g. the user’s IP address) is transmitted to Facebook by the action pixel. This data is 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 transmitted 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 have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Facebook through the use of the Facebook Pixel and therefore present the processes known to us: Through the integration of the Facebook Pixel, Facebook receives the information that you have called up the corresponding web page of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. 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 will learn 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 transfer the collected data to another country. Please note that this service may transfer 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 European Court of Justice, the laws of the USA do not guarantee an adequate level of data protection. In particular, your data may be accessed by US authorities without you becoming aware of this and without you becoming aware of this and without you having any effective legal protection against this. Facebook has stated that it has set itself a standard for the transfer of personal data to third countries without an adequate level of data protection that corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield and has promised to comply with applicable data protection laws when transferring data internationally. We have also agreed so-called standard privacy statements with Facebook, the purpose of which is to ensure compliance with an appropriate level of data protection in the third country.

For more information on the security guarantees, please refer to Meta’s privacy policy as the operator of Facebook.
