This information applies only on match days of FC Bayern München.
On non-match days, Allianz Arena München Stadion GmbH is responsible for video surveillance.
In this case, please read the relevant privacy policy.
1. Background information on video surveillance on the grounds of the Allianz Arena
The video surveillance on the grounds of the Allianz Arena includes the indoor area of the "Allianz Arena" stadium and the associated outdoor area on the property with the postal address Franz-Beckenbauer-Platz 5, 80939 Munich, including the entrances (altogether: "Grounds"). All entrances to the site are equipped with appropriate signs indicating video surveillance.
Video surveillance is carried out exclusively to protect your security, the security of the Allianz Arena and to protect and enforce your and our rights.
Video surveillance takes place without sound . Different types of cameras are used for video surveillance. Video surveillance cameras differ in how they work, i.e. whether and when they record (by switching command, permanently or after triggering motion sensors). The recording functions are reduced to the required minimum.
The video recordings may contain personal data in the form of recordings of natural persons. Special categories of people, such as minors or disabled people, can also be the subject of the video recordings.
2. Name and contact details of the controller:
FC Bayern München AG, Säbener Straße 51-57, D-81547 Munich, Germany ("FCB" or "We") is the controller for video surveillance on the grounds.
3. Contact details of the Data Protection Officer
You can contact our Data Protection Officer at datenschutz@fcbayern.com or by post at the above address if you have any questions about our processing of your personal data.
4. Data, purposes and legal basis of data processing
The video recordings of the video surveillance cameras are moving images, which can also be saved as image sections if necessary. With these video recordings, it cannot be ruled out that specific persons can be identified. Special categories of people, such as minors or persons with disability, can also be the subject of the video recordings. This is especially the case if the images are enlarged during the recording itself or afterwards by zooming. The video recordings may be merged with other personal data to the extent necessary for the purposes described below (for example, image excerpts together with the name of an injured person and a description of the incident may be compiled into a report to the extent necessary for the processing of the incident).
The operation of the video cameras and the processing of video recordings with video surveillance cameras serves the following purposes:
- Protection of property
- Protection of the life, health, or freedom of persons on the premises
- Prevention of criminal or administrative offenses
- Ensuring stadium safety
- Preservation of evidence for the prosecution of legal violations, and
- Enforcement of house rules and stadium bans
The legal basis for the recording and processing of the video recordings is the safeguarding of legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR or § 4 para. 1 German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). We pursue the following interests in this regard: prosecution of criminal offenses and administrative offenses, enforcement and defense of civil law claims, compliance with soccer league regulations.
5. Storage period or criteria for determining the duration
On match days, the video surveillance cameras are in some cases operated continuously, i.e. 24 hours a day. The video recordings recorded with the video surveillance cameras are stored on our servers in Germany. The video recordings of the surveillance cameras are usually stored for a maximum of 21 days .
In addition, FCB only stores video recordings and related personal data for the purpose of asserting or defending against legal claims, for the fulfilment of legal obligations, or for as long as legal obligations to store them exist.
After the expiry of the deadline and unless the video recordings are stored for other reasons mentioned, the video recordings will be deleted and the corresponding storage space will be overwritten by new video recordings.
6. Disclosure of your personal data
We will only share the video recordings, including your personal data, as follows:
- Third-party service providers (processors)
We use service providers (including IT service providers) to assist us in the operation and maintenance of the video surveillance cameras and in the processing of the video recordings. We have carefully selected these service providers and entered into data processing agreements with them that meet the GDPR standard.
- Other controllers (recipients of transmission)
Otherwise, we will only share your personal data with other controllers (i.e. those entities that process the personal data for their own purposes) if this is necessary and permitted by applicable data protection law.
This disclosure is justified either by our legitimate interest under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (e.g. to investigate or prevent suspected or actual illegal activity or to take action against infringers) or on the basis of our legal obligations under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR (e.g. disclosure to law enforcement authorities in criminal proceedings).
- Recipients in third countries
If we transfer your personal data to processors or other controllers in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) (for example, in the USA), we implement the standards and security mechanisms required by law. We achieve this, for example, by agreeing on the so-called EU standard contract clauses. Please contact us as described in section 1 to learn more about the specific security mechanisms we use.

You have the right to request that we delete personal data concerning you if one of the reasons listed in detail in Art. 17 GDPR applies, e.g. if the data is no longer needed for the purposes pursued (right to erasure).
You have the right to demand that we restrict the processing if one of the conditions listed in Art. 18 GDPR is met, e.g. if you have objected to the processing, for the duration of the review by the controller.
