Privacy

1. Controller and scope

The controller is rocketSPORTS GbR, represented by Nicolai Vollmer and Philipp Huber, Remchinger Str. 4, 75236 Kämpfelbach, Germany. You can contact us by telephone on +49 178 8270493 or by email at info@rocket-sports.de.

This notice covers our IONOS-hosted website at rocket-sports.de and neu.rocket-sports.de, including the protected scouting portfolio. Visits to the former domain rock3t-sports.de are intended to be redirected to this website; connection data technically required for the redirect is covered by the hosting information. The information below reflects the position as at 11 October 2026.

2. Hosting, connection data and security

We use web hosting provided by IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany. When a page or file is requested, connection data is processed, including the IP address, access time, requested resource, previously visited page and information about the browser, operating system and device.

This processing enables us to deliver the website, maintain its operation and investigate technical problems or misuse. Where personal data is involved, we rely on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is in providing a stable and secure website.

For this web hosting service, IONOS describes anonymised visitor data, retention for eight weeks and no transfer of this visitor data to third countries. Data processing by IONOS on our behalf is governed by a contract. Further information is available in the IONOS web hosting privacy information.

Transmission is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS. Encryption protects data in transit; it does not replace careful handling of login details and messages.

3. Cookies, local functions and statistics

Our website serves its images and font files from its own web space. Menus, search, filters and selection of a contact topic operate in your browser during your visit. The current website code does not set cookies for these purposes or permanently save entries in local browser storage.

IONOS provides WebAnalytics for statistical analysis and technical optimisation of the website. According to the product documentation, no cookies are used and IP addresses are anonymised immediately after transmission. The information recorded includes the requested resource, access time, referrer and technical device and browser information. Further information: IONOS WebAnalytics.

Where personal data is processed before anonymisation, this serves our legitimate interest in technically providing and optimising the website under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The current website code does not include advertising pixels, heatmap services or Google Analytics.

For storage or access on your device that is strictly necessary for technical purposes, the exemptions in Section 25(2) TDDDG apply. Other storage or access requiring consent may take place only after you have been appropriately informed and have given consent. No cookie consent tool is included for the functionality currently implemented.

4. Contact and preparation for working together

When you contact us by email, telephone or another contact method we offer, we process the contact details and content you provide to respond to your enquiry and, where appropriate, prepare for working together. This may include your name, email address, telephone number and football-related or professional information that you share with us.

The legal basis for pre-contractual steps at your request and for performing a contract is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. We handle other enquiries under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in communicating with prospective clients and business partners. Consent may provide a basis under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR for specifically identified additional processing.

The website provides direct links to contact us by email and WhatsApp. There is no enquiry form on the website. An email is transmitted to us only when you send it from your email application. The information in the following section also applies to WhatsApp.

Providing your information is voluntary. Without the contact details or information needed to handle an enquiry, we may be unable to respond. Please provide only information necessary for your enquiry and do not send health data, copies of identity documents or other particularly sensitive information when first contacting us.

5. WhatsApp and external links

You can contact us using a simple link to WhatsApp. The website itself does not embed a WhatsApp chat. Opening the link takes you to a WhatsApp service. We use the standard WhatsApp app, not WhatsApp Business.

When you contact us, we process the telephone number, profile name where applicable, and messages you provide in order to handle your enquiry. The legal bases in Section 4 and the retention rules in Section 8 apply to our handling of this information.

WhatsApp Ireland Limited additionally processes usage and communication data under its own terms. Processing may also take place outside the EU. Information about recipients, transfers and your settings is available in the WhatsApp privacy information. Alternatively, you can contact us by email or telephone.

Instagram links and other external links lead to separate services. Simply visiting our website does not load embedded social media content. Once you open an external service, its own privacy information applies.

6. Protected scouting portfolio

The scouting portfolio is intended for authorised club contacts, scouts and sporting directors. Access is restricted through the hosting provider’s directory protection. Usernames and passwords are processed to verify authorisation; technical access data is also generated. Your browser may retain the login temporarily.

Access protection restricts the group of recipients and protects against unauthorised access. Processing is based on our legitimate interest in this access control under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Login details remain valid until access is changed or withdrawn. The information in Section 2 applies to access data held by the hosting provider.

Search and filters work with the supplied profiles in your browser. The website code does not transmit your search terms or filter selections to us as an enquiry or save them permanently. Please treat profile content as confidential and share login details only with authorised people.

7. Player profiles and AI illustrations

The website and portfolio contain information about female players and AI-created illustrations of real people. Depending on the profile, the information displayed includes name, club, position, shirt number, date of birth, height, preferred foot and nationality. Information and reference images come from materials we used for the design or from publicly available club information.

The purposes are to present our agency’s work and player profiles to the intended recipients. Publicly available information or a photograph is not automatically authorised for every further use. The necessary legal basis and any image rights must be considered separately for each publication; for under-18s, particular attention must be paid to their interests and the necessary involvement of parents or legal guardians.

If you appear in a profile or illustration, you can contact us about the origin, use, correction or removal of your information and images. Details about the illustrations and their labelling are available under AI image information. This labelling does not replace necessary rights or permissions.

8. Recipients and retention periods

Contact enquiries are accessible to the people within our agency dealing with the matter. The hosting and communication providers used are involved in technical delivery. Other recipients are involved only where a specific disclosure is necessary and lawful, for example as part of working together at your request or because of a legal obligation.

Contact details and messages are retained for as long as needed to handle them or any resulting working relationship. We then delete them unless a statutory retention obligation or another lawful reason for retention applies. Contractual and business records may, in particular, be subject to commercial and tax retention periods. Data needed to establish or defend legal claims may remain necessary during the relevant periods.

We make profile information available for the relevant presentation purpose and review the need to update or delete it when representation or player information changes. Consent may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future. Other applicable legal bases and retention obligations may still need to be considered.

9. Your rights

Subject to the statutory conditions, you have rights of access to your personal data, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability under Articles 15 to 20 GDPR. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future under Article 7(3) GDPR. This does not affect the lawfulness of prior processing.

Objection: Where processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object under Article 21 GDPR on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will then assess whether processing must stop or whether grounds specified by law permit it to continue. You may object to processing for direct marketing at any time without stating such grounds.

You may lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular where you live, work or suspect an infringement. In Baden-Württemberg, you can contact the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information Baden-Württemberg. For enquiries to us, use the contact details in Section 1.

Our website does not carry out automated individual decision-making with legal or similarly significant effects under Article 22 GDPR. The AI images shown are used for illustration.

10. Further development of the website

New functions may involve additional processing. Before introducing forms, newsletters, appointment booking, embedded media, external fonts or further analytics services, for example, information about the relevant service and, where required, a consent solution must be added. This notice does not provide blanket consent to future services.

The current legal texts are provided as local pages. Automatic inclusion of external legal texts is not enabled in this version. When changes are made, we adapt the information to the functionality actually provided.
