Information on Data Protection
The GKL and its authorized Agents take the protection of personally identifiable information very seriously. Such personally identifiable information is recorded, processed and used in compliance with the provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz – BDSG). In addition, the relevant conditions of the German State Treaty on Gambling (Glücksspielstaatsvertrag – GlüStV) are respected.
GKL Agents use data received in connection with orders or the conduct of business for the purposes fulfilling their contractual obligations.
Your name, address and date of birth are therefore used pursuant to § 2 of the above Terms & Conditions insofar as necessary to verify your
age. In the event payment of the ticket price is made to an account of GKL pursuant to § 6 of the above Terms & Conditions, the Agent will
also communicate the name and address of the player as well as the price of the ticket to GKL for further processing by GKL and the Agent.
In their capacity as commercial agents, Agents are required by law to provide GKL with information as requested, which may include personally identifiable information on participation in previous lotteries. This is done in particular to ensure proper execution of the Lottery.
The Agents also use your data to send you offers of other GKL gaming products by postal mail. You may at any time prohibit the use of your
data for such advertising purposes in the future by notifying the respective Agent accordingly. Please consult the information on data protection that you receive when your data are collected for precise information on the extent to which your data will be used by the Agent.
In the case of prizes exceeding €1,000,000, Extra Income, 10-Year Pensions or in the case of non-cash prizes, the Agent will forward the
name, address, nature and amount of the prize as well as – if required to transfer payment of the prize – bank details of winners to the GKL
for the purposes of disbursement (see Part 1 § 11 and Part 2 § 5 of the Terms & Conditions).
