3. How is my Data processed when visiting the Website, signing up for the newsletter and when you contact us?

Visiting the Website

If you browse our Website we collect and store information automatically in so-called “server-log-files” that your browser transfers to us. These are:

If you are using a mobile device the following data are collected additionally through the Website:

country code, language, hostname of the device, name and version of the operational system

We use this data only for statistical analysis for the purpose of operation, security, and optimization of our Website. However, we reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if there is a justified suspicion of illegal use based on concrete indications. This data is then stored because this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our Website and, if necessary, allow us to investigate any illegal activity committed. The storage of this data is necessary in order to protect us as the person responsible for processing the data. As a matter of principle, this data will not be passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the transfer of data serves criminal prosecution purposes.

This data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) f. GDPR as we wish to achieve the legitimate interests of stabilizing and improving our Website, quality insurance, and fraud prevention.

We store such data for a maximum period of 7 days.

Newsletter

With the newsletter we inform the user about the Website, our Service and us.

When registering for the newsletter, you must provide an email address. This email address will be transmitted to and stored by us (or a provider as specified below), based on your consent Art. 6 (1) a GDPR.

Where required by law, following the registration, you will receive an email to confirm the registration (known as the “double opt-in”). By clicking the registration link you confirm that you have given your consent to the processing of your personal data for receiving our newsletter. In case of your registration for the newsletter, we (or our provider as specified below) also store your IP address, the device name, the mail provider as well as the name and the date of registration.

Use of Mailchimp; Transfer of Data outside the EU

The mail provider “Mailchimp” by Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA receives and processes on our behalf the data necessary for the newsletter, in particular email address, IP address, device name. This data is processed on servers in the USA. We entered into a so-called Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) to comply with the requirements under Art. 28 GDPR with MailChimp that defines roles and responsibilities of us as the controller and data exporter and MailChimp as the processor and data importer with regards to the respective data processing. As part of the DPA, MailChimp agrees to abide by and process personal data that is subject to GDPR in compliance with the Standard Contractual Clauses for processors approved by the European Commission (“SCC”), which are incorporated by reference and form an integral part of the DPA.

Mailchimp is a service with which the dispatch of newsletters can be organized and analyzed. With the help of Mailchimp we can analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an e-mail sent with Mailchimp, a file contained in the e-mail (so-called web beacon) connects to the Mailchimp servers in the USA. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked on.

Details on Mailchimp and its privacy policy can be found here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/

If you do not want Mailchimp to analyze your data, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a respective link in every newsletter. The data stored for the purpose of newsletter subscription will be stored by us and MailChimp until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers as well as from the servers of MailChimp after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes remain unaffected.

Contacting us

When contacting us via email or phone, your details are stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry and, if applicable, follow-up questions are processed based on your consent (where required by applicable law), according to the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) a. GDPR, based on a pre-contractual or existing contractual relationship according to the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) b. GDPR, or based on our legitimate interests according to the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) f. GDPR.

4.What Third Party Services, Cookies, Analytics and Links to Social Networks does the Website use?

Cookies

In order to offer you a convenient online service featuring numerous functions, our Website uses cookies and similar technologies such as pixels and Local Storage Objects (LSOs) like HTML5 (“Cookies”). Cookies help us to distinguish you from other users of our Website. They are usually saved on your device and do not cause any harm. Cookies facilitate the transfer of specific content, such as entering data, which has already been supplied, and helps us identify popular sections of our Website.

If you are located in the EU, the processing of personal data when using Cookies is based either on our legitimate interests to be able to run and operate our Website properly according to Art. 6 (1) f. GDPR, or on your expressed consent (Opt-in) according to Art. 6 (1) a. GDPR, depending on the category of the relevant Cookies. The provision of relevant detail information about the Cookies on our Website and your voluntary Opt-in is processed by our Cookie consent management layer upon your initial visit to our website. You can find detailed information about our use of Cookies within our Cookie Policy.

How to withdraw my consent: You can withdraw your consent by deactivating the use of individual or all Cookies in the settings of your browser at any time.

You may also deactivate and manage a lot of online Cookies by different businesses on the US-website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU-website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/. However, we want to point out that without Cookies the use and comfort of use of our Website may be restricted.

Third Party Services

We may use Cookies and services of third parties such as Google, Vimeo, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.

If you are located in the EU, please note that the processing also takes place in a third country for which there is no adequacy decision by the Commission.

Videos from the YouTube platform are integrated into our website via the YouTube service. You can revoke your consent at any time. You can find more detailed information on withdrawing your consent either with the consent itself or at the end of this data protection declaration.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) c GDPR.

Other transfers

If you have given us a separate consent to use and transfer your personal data, your personal data may be passed on to the recipients named therein. As part of the provision of third-party services on our Website, personal data may be passed on to third parties, for example, vendors helping us with the collection and distribution of informational materials for investors or investor candidates. In addition, no personal data will be transferred on to third parties unless, in individual cases, there is either a specific legal obligation requiring us to do so or if there is a specific legal justification for the transfer, and your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not prevail.

7. EU-Specific Disclosures

The following disclosures (“EU Privacy Disclosures”) apply to our processing of personal data in connection with our EU services or individuals located in the EU.

1. Is my Data transferred outside the EU?

If you are located in the EU, note that for some Services, we may transfer your personal data (including transfers to companies affiliated to us) to countries outside the EU-jurisdiction where we collected your personal data (so-called third countries).

In the course of a transfer of personal data to a third country, we will regularly provide appropriate guarantees to maintain an appropriate level of Data Protection, for example, by concluding the Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the European Commission (“SCC”) to ensure that the transfer of data takes place with the same level of data protection that corresponds to the GDPR, or in accordance with the data protection laws of your jurisdiction. In compliance with these requirements, we transmit data to service providers who assist us in the performance of our contractual obligations or our services and who are bound by our instructions in the context of a data processing relationship. If not publicly available, we grant you a copy of the respective appropriate guarantees or provide further information where they have been made available.

1. Use of Services on the Website that process Data outside the EU

When visiting the Website, data may be transferred to countries outside the EU where the services by Google (see Google Analytics) as well as other social networks operate. The U.S. companies providing the services e.g., Facebook, Instagram, Google, YouTube, Vimeo, Twitter and LinkedIn comply with data protection standards applicable in the European Union by agreeing to abide by and process personal data subject to GDPR in compliance with the SCC that are incorporated by reference and form an integral part of the respective data processing agreements.

1. Further Third-Party Providers that process data outside the EU

Data is transferred outside the European Union due to the integration of cloud and hosting services who work on our behalf and assist us in carrying out our business activities.

We use the service by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, 94043 Mountain View, United States of America, for the purpose of hosting your personal data provided through the Website, whereas personal data might be processed in the USA. Google Cloud complies with data protection standards applicable in the European Union by agreeing to abide by and process personal data subject to GDPR in compliance with SCC that are incorporated by reference and form an integral part of the DPA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Standard Contractual Clauses (or obligations the same as those under the Standard Contractual Clauses) will not apply if Google Cloud has adopted Binding Corporate Rules for Processors or an alternative recognized compliance standard for the lawful transfer of personal data (as defined in the GDPR) outside the European Economic Area. For further information please refer to https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/eu-data-protection/ and https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/germany-data-protection/

For sending emails and newsletters we use the services by Mailchimp. For more details please refer to “Use of Mailchimp; Transfer of Data outside the EU” listed in Section III. above. On a case-by-case basis, we may also use other vendors for the collection and distribution of materials, in particular, but not limited to, materials for investors or potential investors.

1. Does automated processing, including “Profiling”, take place?

In general, we do not process any personal data via automated processing including “profiling” when making contact via the Website or Service. However, such profiling may happen by third party providers through the further use of the Website or Service. We will inform you about such fact if possible.

Profiling means any automated processing of personal data consisting in the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects relating to the performance of work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or relocation of that natural person. Examples of such profiling include the analysis of data (e.g., based on statistical methods) with the aim of displaying personalized advertising or giving shopping tips. The data subject shall not be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing, including profiling, which has legal effect against him or her or significantly affects him or her in a similar manner. This shall not apply where the decision (i) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the data controller, (ii) is admissible under the laws of the European Union or its member states to which the data controller is subject and where such laws contain appropriate measures to safeguard the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject or (iii) is taken with the data subject’s express consent. In such exceptional cases, the person responsible shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person by the data subject, to state his own position and to challenge the decision.
