Transparency is part of our practice. On this page we explain openly what data we collect, why we need it, and how we handle it. No hidden practices – we promise. If you have any questions, reach us anytime at datenschutz@yttp.de.

The controller responsible for data processing on this website within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:

2. Joint Controllership within the YTTP Group (Art. 26 GDPR)
The YTTP group of companies consists of YTTP Holding GmbH and the operational studio companies (including YTTP Köln GmbH, YTTP Berlin GmbH, YTTP Hamburg GmbH, YTTP Düsseldorf GmbH, and others). The studio companies are the contractual partners of customers for memberships, point cards and other training services. YTTP Holding GmbH acts as a central service provider for the group, handling cross-functional tasks in the areas of marketing, digitalisation, HR and accounting, and has access to customer data of the studio companies in this capacity.
Where YTTP Holding GmbH and the studio companies jointly determine the purposes and means of data processing — in particular in the areas of marketing and digital customer communication — they act as joint controllers within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR. The allocation of responsibilities is as follows: YTTP Holding GmbH is responsible for central marketing, digital infrastructure (website, tracking, email marketing) and IT systems. The respective studio GmbH is responsible for processing customer data in the context of contract performance (course bookings, membership management, payment processing). The parties have set out their respective responsibilities in an internal agreement pursuant to Art. 26(1) GDPR.
Regardless of this internal allocation, you may exercise your data subject rights against any of the companies involved. The central point of contact for all data protection matters is: datenschutz@yttp.de

Based on current case law, the use of the TikTok Pixel may also constitute a joint controllership between YTTP and TikTok. The TikTok Pixel is only activated with your explicit consent (cookie banner). Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. TikTok Privacy Policy: tiktok.com/legal/privacy-policy
