Part II - Information on the processing of personal data

 

What types of data do we collect, how do we collect it and for what purpose?

 

A.Interested parties, online offers

 

1. Obligation to provide the data:

 

The provision of the data is not required by law or contract. The data subject is not obliged to provide the data. However, in the event that the data is not provided, full use of our website is not possible.

 

2 .Purposes and legal basis:

 

The processing of users' personal data is based on our overriding legitimate interest. For the provision of this website, it is technically necessary that we process certain personal data (e.g. the IP address, log files). For your communication, it is necessary that we handle your respective personal data.

 

Within the framework of the necessary balancing of interests, we have weighed up your interest in confidentiality and our interests in providing this website and contacting you. In each case, your interest in confidentiality takes a back seat. Otherwise, we would not be able to provide you with this website with a secure IT infrastructure or respond to your contact request.

 

The processing of personal data is also necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures that take place at the request of the user, such as customer service, as well as the processing of the contract including billing.

 

Cookies are data records that are stored by a web server on the end device (e.g. computer, smartphone, tablet) of the user. These are sent back either to our website ("first party cookie") or to another website to which the cookie belongs ("third party cookie") when our website is called up again with the same end device.

 

The storage of information in your terminal equipment or the access to information already stored in your terminal equipment is absolutely necessary so that we can provide the telemedia service expressly requested by you as a user (Section 25 (2) No. 2 TTDSG).

 

Otherwise, the legal basis is generally your consent in each case if no specific legal basis is stated below. You can revoke your consent at any time, e.g. by deleting cookies set via the browser settings of your end device. Please note that for technical reasons, this procedure only applies to the specific end device used.

 

3. Recipient:

 

Due to our global business activities, your personal data will also be transferred to affiliated companies, among others. "Affiliated companies" are legally independent companies that are affiliated with us under company law (cf. §§ 15 ff AktG) and/or are part of the same group of companies. For the purposes of data transfer, this refers to viversum GmbH (Germany), Ingenio Europe GmbH (Germany), Barges Technologies, Inc (USA), Horoscope.com Inc. (USA), Peer Labs LLC (USA) und die Ingenio, LLC (USA).

 

We use service providers in the provision of our services and our presence. Data is therefore transferred, for example, to IT service providers, archiving service providers, external lawyers, external tax consultants and external auditors. These service providers are contractually or legally obliged by us to exercise the same care in processing personal data as we do ourselves.

 

We may be required to disclose information to courts, authorities, the government or the police.

 

4.Data transfer to third countries:

 

Data is transferred to third countries outside the European Union (e.g. to the USA and the UK). This generally takes place on the basis of contractual regulations provided for by law and, where applicable, supplementary technical-organisational guarantees which are intended to ensure adequate protection of your data and which you can view on request. In certain cases, we may also base such data transfer on consent.

 

Due to our global operations, your personal data will also be transferred to, among others, affiliates outside the EEA. In some cases, employees of certain service providers may also be located outside the EEA.

 

We have entered into a data transfer agreement with our affiliated companies that governs the cross-border transfer of your personal data within the group. This agreement is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission, which you can view here https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?uri=CELEX:32021D0914&locale=de.

 

Where third parties transfer your personal data outside the EEA, we will take steps to ensure that your personal data receives an adequate level of protection, for example by entering into data transfer agreements or by ensuring that third parties are certified under appropriate data protection regimes.

 

5.Storage period:

 

IP addresses are anonymised after 24 hours at the latest. Pseudonymous usage data is deleted after six months. If we do not provide you with explicit information on the storage period of permanent cookies, the storage period can be up to two years.

 

We do not keep your personal data longer than is necessary for the purpose for which the data is processed. However, please note that we must retain personal data if there is a legal obligation to retain it, e.g. in accordance with Section 257 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and Section 147 of the German Tax Code (AO).

 

We store your data,

 

-if you have consented to the processing, at most until you withdraw your consent,

-if we need the data to perform a contract, at most for as long as the contractual relationship with you exists or statutory retention periods run,

-if we use the data on the basis of a legitimate interest, at most for as long as your interest in deletion or pseudonymisation does not outweigh this.

 

B. Advisor

 

1. Obligation to provide the data:

 

The provision of the data is not required by law or contract. The data subject is not obliged to provide the data. However, in the event that the data is not provided, an advisory service is not possible.

 

2. Purposes and legal basis:

 

The processing of personal data of advisors is carried out for the initiation, implementation and execution of the corresponding advisor contract. This enables the identification of the consultant, the establishment of contact and the implementation of pre-contractual measures. The processing also serves the purpose of corporate communication.

 

The processing of personal data of consultants is carried out for the fulfilment of legal obligations for proper accounting in coordination with external tax consultants and/or auditors, as well as commercial and tax law retention obligations.

 

The processing of personal data of consultants is also based on our overriding legitimate interest. It is necessary for us to handle your personal data for the documentation and possible evidence to courts or authorities.

 

Within the framework of the necessary balancing of interests, we have weighed up your interest in confidentiality and our interest in enabling effective documentation and evidence. In each case, your interest in confidentiality takes a back seat. Otherwise, we would not be able to comply with any justifications we may have to state institutions.

 

3. Recipient:

These service providers are contractually or legally obliged by us to exercise the same care in processing personal data as we ourselves do.

 

In certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose information to courts, authorities, the government or the police.
