If you have given us consent, you can revoke this at any time with effect for the future.

You may at any time submit a complaint to a supervisory authority, e.g. the competent supervisory authority in the federal state of your residence or the authority responsible for us as the responsible body.

A list of supervisory authorities (for the non-public sector) with address can be found at: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Service/Anschriften/Laender/Laender-node.html.

Scope of data processing, processing purposes and legal bases

We detail the scope of data processing, processing purposes and legal bases below. In principle, the following come into consideration as the legal basis for data processing:

• Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 it. a DSGVO serves as our legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent.
• Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DS GVO is the legal basis, insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, e.g. if a site visitor purchases a product from us or we perform a service for him. This legal basis also applies to processing that is necessary for pre-contractual measures, such as in the case of inquiries about our products or services.
• Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c DSGVO applies if we fulfill a legal obligation with the processing of personal data, as may be the case, for example, in tax law.
• Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis if we can invoke legitimate interests to process personal data, e.g. for cookies that are necessary for the technical operation of our website.

General storage period

Unless expressly stated within the scope of this data protection declaration, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted, i.e. the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that we must retain for reasons of commercial or tax law.

Leverest platform

Via the Leverest platform, we provide investors, banks and consultants with financing objects and enable them to establish contact.

When users register, we process the following data:

• Names
• E-mail addresses
• Company name
• Phone number
• Job title

The purpose of the processing is to create a profile of the user and to fulfill the other functions of the Leverest platform. In doing so, we fulfill the user contract concluded with the user. The legal basis is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

Contact is initiated anonymously until both contact partners have agreed to be contacted. In this way, we fulfill a function of the Leverest platform, so that the legal basis in this respect is also Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

We send emails with MailGun. This also fulfills the usage contract with the user, so that the legal basis in this respect is also Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

No automatic decision making in individual cases

For the establishment and implementation of a business relationship or other relationship, we generally do not use fully automated decision-making pursuant to Article 22 DSGVO. Should we use these procedures in individual cases, we will inform about this separately if this is required by law.
