2. General Information

Protecting your personal data is important to us. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations (GDPR, German Federal Data Protection Act / BDSG) and this privacy policy.

3. Collection and Storage of Personal Data

a) When visiting the website
When you access this website, the browser on your device automatically sends information to our server. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following data is collected without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted:

  • IP address of the requesting device
  • Date and time of access
  • Name and URL of the file retrieved
  • Website from which access was made (referrer URL)
  • Browser used and, where applicable, the operating system of your device

This processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, arising from our legitimate interest in ensuring the smooth operation of our website and improving our service.

b) Contacting us
If you contact us by email, the data you provide (e.g. your email address and, where applicable, your name and phone number) is stored by us in order to process your inquiry. This data is deleted once storage is no longer necessary, or its processing is restricted if statutory retention obligations apply. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

4. Cookies

This website may use cookies to enable certain functions (e.g. saving your language preference) and to make the site easier to use. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set, to allow cookies only in individual cases, or to reject them generally. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

When you respond to our cookie consent banner, we also record an anonymous, aggregate count of how many visitors accepted or declined (e.g. "42 accepted today"). This count is not linked to your IP address, device, or any other identifier, and is used solely on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in understanding how our consent banner is being used.

5. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated (including your IP address, which is collected in a truncated/pseudonymized form via IP anonymization) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers, which may include servers located in the United States.

Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide us with other services relating to website and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the data on Google's behalf.

This processing is carried out on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future via the "Cookie Settings" link in the website footer, or by preventing the storage of cookies through your browser settings. You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing data generated by cookies and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Further information on Google's data processing can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

6. Google Fonts

This website uses "Google Fonts" for the uniform display of fonts, provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). When you visit a page on this website, your browser loads the required fonts directly from Google's servers, which involves transmitting your IP address to Google. Google does not store this data for any purpose other than delivering the fonts, and Google Fonts does not set cookies for this purpose.

This processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in a technically secure, maintenance-free, and efficient presentation of our website. Further information on Google Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

7. Movie Ratings (Firebase / Google Cloud Firestore)

On movie pages, we offer a star-rating feature powered by Firebase Cloud Firestore, a database service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). When you submit a rating, your browser connects directly to Google's servers and stores the rating value together with the relevant movie and a randomly generated device identifier that we save in your browser's local storage so we can recognize and display your own rating on a later visit. This identifier is not linked to your name, email address, or any other information that would directly identify you.

This processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in providing this interactive feature. As with any Google service, this may involve a transfer of your IP address to Google servers, including servers located outside the EU/EEA. Further information can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

8. Location Data (Nearby Showtimes)

To show you cinemas and showtimes near you, this website may ask your browser for permission to access your device's location, using the standard geolocation prompt built into your browser. We only request this if you have not already made a choice, and your browser always asks for your explicit permission before sharing any location data with us — you may deny this request at any time without losing access to the rest of the website.

If you grant permission, your coordinates are used solely on your own device, in your browser, to sort and filter showtimes by distance. We do not transmit your location to our servers, store it permanently, or share it with any third party, including Google Analytics. Your coordinates are kept only temporarily in your browser's session storage and are automatically deleted once you close the browser tab.

The legal basis for this processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, given through your browser's permission prompt. You can withdraw this consent at any time via your browser's site settings.

9. Embedded Third-Party Content (e.g. YouTube, Social Media)

This website may embed third-party content, such as videos from YouTube or links to social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter). Accessing such content may establish a connection to the respective provider's servers, allowing the provider to obtain your IP address and potentially other data. For information on how these providers process data, please refer to their respective privacy policies.

10. Your Rights

You have the right at any time to:

  • request information about the personal data we process about you pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR,
  • request the correction of inaccurate data pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR,
  • request the deletion of your data stored with us pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR,
  • request the restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR,
  • receive your data in a portable format pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR,
  • withdraw any consent given at any time pursuant to Art. 7(3) GDPR,
  • object to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR,
  • lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR.

11. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy to ensure it always complies with current legal requirements, or to reflect changes to our services. The revised policy will apply on your next visit.
