Data Privacy

Only the German version is legally binding

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is a particularly high priority for the management of LAWInvest Advisers GmbH. The use of the website of LAWInvest Advisers GmbH is generally possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a person wishes to use special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data may be necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the respective person.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a person, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to LAWInvest Advisers GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. Furthermore, people are informed about the rights to which they are entitled by means of this data protection declaration.

As the data managing entity, LAWInvest Advisers GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every person is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

  1. Definitions

The privacy policy of LAWInvest Advisers GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use the following terms in this Privacy Policy, among others:

  • a) Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “affected person”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
  • b) Affected person means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
  • (c) processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination; the restriction, deletion or destruction.
  • d) Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.
  • e) Profiling is any form of 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 that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.
  • f) Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific affected person without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data does not belong to an identified or identifiable natural person. .
  • g) The controller or controller means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
  • h) Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
  • i) Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which personal data is disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigative mandate under Union or Member State law are not considered recipients.
  • j) Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the affected person, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorised to process the personal data.
  • (k) Consent means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the affected person’s wishes, in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative action, by which the affected person signifies that he or she agrees to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.

  1. Cookies

The websites of LAWInvest Advisers GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the affected person from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A particular internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, LAWInvest Advisers GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the setting of cookies.

A cookie can be used to optimize the information and offers on our website in the interests of the user. As mentioned above, cookies allow us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their login details each time they visit the website, because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in the online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The affected person can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the affected person deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

To manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and the corresponding consents, we use the “Real Cookie Banner” consent tool. Details on how the “Real Cookie Banner” works can be found under https://devowl.io/rcb/data-processing/

The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to manage the cookies and similar technologies used and the consents in this regard.

The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we will not be able to manage your consents.

  1. Collection of general data and information

The website of LAWInvest Advisers GmbH collects a series of general data and information every time the website is accessed by a affected person or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following can be recorded: (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address),  (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information that serves to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, LAWInvest Advisers GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the affected person. Rather, this information is required in order to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) to optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by LAWInvest Advisers GmbH on the one hand statistically and on the other hand with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a affected person.

  1. Possibility of contact via the website

Due to legal regulations, the website of LAWInvest Advisers GmbH contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a affected person contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the affected person will be automatically stored. Such personal data provided on a voluntary basis by a affected person to the controller will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the affected person. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

  1. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the affected person only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or if this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

  1. Rights of the affected person

  • d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten) – Every affected person has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, provided that one of the following grounds applies and to the extent that the processing is not necessary:
    • The personal data has been collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
    • The affected person withdraws his/her consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
    • The affected person objects to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the affected person objects to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
    • The personal data has been processed unlawfully.
    • The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.

The employee of LAWInvest Advisers GmbH will arrange for the deletion request to be complied with immediately. If the personal data has been made public by LAWInvest Advisers GmbH and our company as the controller is obliged to delete the personal data in accordance with Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR, LAWInvest Advisers GmbH will take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, in order to inform other data controllers who process the published personal data, inform the affected person that the affected person has requested from those other data controllers the deletion of all links to, or copies or replications of, such personal data, to the extent that the processing is not necessary. The employee of LAWInvest Advisers GmbH will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.
  • e) Right to restriction of processing – Every affected person to the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the controller to restrict the processing if one of the following conditions applies:

    • The processing is unlawful, the affected person opposes the erasure of the personal data and instead requests the restriction of the use of the personal data.
    • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the affected person needs it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
    • The affected person has objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh those of the affected person. If one of the above conditions is met and a affected person wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by LAWInvest Advisers GmbH, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of LAWInvest Advisers GmbH will arrange for the processing to be restricted.

This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. LAWInvest Advisers GmbH will no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the affected person, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. the affected person shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct advertising. If the affected person objects to LAWInvest Advisers GmbH to the processing for direct marketing purposes, LAWInvest Advisers GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes. In addition, the affected person has the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her carried out by LAWInvest Advisers GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest. To exercise the right to object, the affected person may contact any employee of LAWInvest Advisers GmbH. The affected person is also free to exercise his or her right to object to the use of information society services by means of automated procedures using technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.
  • h) Automated decision-making on a case-by-case basis, including profiling – Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislature, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him/her, unless the decision (1) applies to: the conclusion or performance of a contract between the affected person and the controller is necessary, or (2) is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and such legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the affected person, or (3) is carried out with the explicit consent of the affected person.

  1. Data protection for applications and in the application process

We process the applicant data only for the purpose and within the framework of the application process in accordance with the legal requirements. The processing of applicant data is carried out in order to fulfil our (pre-)contractual obligations within the framework of the application process within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, insofar as the data processing becomes necessary for us, e.g. in the context of legal proceedings.
The application process requires applicants to provide us with the applicant data. If we offer an online form, the necessary applicant data is marked, otherwise results from the job descriptions and basically includes personal information, postal and contact addresses and the documents belonging to the application, such as cover letter, CV and certificates. In addition, applicants can voluntarily provide us with additional information.
By submitting the application to us, applicants agree to the processing of their data for the purposes of the application process in accordance with the nature and scope set out in this privacy policy.
To the extent that special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR are voluntarily communicated in the course of the application process, their processing is also carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) (b) GDPR (e.g. health data, such as severely disabled status or ethnic origin). Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR are requested from applicants in the context of the application process, their processing is also carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR (e.g. health data, if this is necessary for the exercise of the profession).
If provided, applicants can submit their applications to us using an online form on our website. The data is transmitted to us in encrypted form in accordance with the state of the art.
Applicants can also send us their applications via e-mail. However, please note that e-mails are generally not sent in encrypted form and that applicants must ensure encryption themselves. We can therefore not assume any responsibility for the transmission method of the application between the sender and the receipt on our server and therefore recommend using an online form or postal delivery. Instead of applying via the online form and e-mail, applicants still have the option of sending us the application by post.
Unless a revocation is made or something to the contrary has been agreed, the data collected on the basis of the application process will remain in our candidate database for the purpose of later job placement and fulfilment of legal obligations to provide evidence. The personal data collected during the application process will only be processed in the context of future vacancies. Inclusion in our candidate database is voluntary and has no influence on the decision-making process in the current application process.

  1. Data protection provisions on the use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

The Controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection, collection and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data on the website from which a affected person came to a website (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the affected person’s Internet connection will be shortened and anonymized by Google if our website is accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the affected person’s information technology system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time you visit one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the affected person is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google becomes aware of personal data, such as the IP address of the affected person, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enables commission settlements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the affected person. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the affected person, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

The affected person can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the affected person’s information technology system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the affected person has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website as well as the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the affected person must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout . This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered a contradiction by Google. If the affected person’s information technology system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the affected person must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the affected person or another person who is attributable to his or her sphere of influence, there is the possibility of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on.

For more information and Google’s applicable privacy policy, please visit https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/ explained in more detail under this link.

  1. Privacy Policy on the Use and Use of LinkedIn

The controller has integrated components of LinkedIn Corporation on this website. LinkedIn is an Internet-based social network that enables users to connect with existing business contacts and to make new business contacts. Over 800 million registered people use LinkedIn in more than 200 countries. This makes LinkedIn currently the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites in the world.

LinkedIn’s operating company is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, United States. LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible for data protection matters outside the United States.

Every time we access our website that is equipped with a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plug-in), this component causes the browser used by the affected person to download a corresponding representation of the LinkedIn component. More information about the LinkedIn plug-ins can  be found at https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. As part of this technical procedure, LinkedIn receives information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the affected person.

If the affected person is logged in to LinkedIn at the same time, LinkedIn recognizes which specific subpage of our website the affected person is visiting every time the affected person accesses our website and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the LinkedIn component and assigned by LinkedIn to the respective LinkedIn account of the affected person. If the affected person clicks on a LinkedIn button integrated into our website, LinkedIn assigns this information to the personal LinkedIn user account of the affected person and stores this personal data.

LinkedIn always receives information via the LinkedIn component that the affected person has visited our website if the affected person is logged in to LinkedIn at the same time as accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the affected person clicks on the LinkedIn component or not. If the affected person does not want this information to be transmitted to LinkedIn in this way, the affected person can prevent the transmission by logging out of his LinkedIn account before accessing our website.

LinkedIn offers, among https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls,  the option of unsubscribing from e-mail messages, SMS messages and targeted ads, as well as managing ad settings. LinkedIn also uses partners such as Quantcast, Google Analytics, BlueKai, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Comscore, Eloqua and Lotame that may set cookies. Such cookies can  be rejected under https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy. LinkedIn’s applicable privacy policy is available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy. LinkedIn’s Cookie Policy is available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy.

  1. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the affected person is a party, as is the case, for example, in the case of processing operations that are necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the affected person or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the affected person do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the affected person is a customer of the controller (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

  1. Data transfer to third parties

We will only share information in accordance with this Privacy Policy or, for certain activities, in accordance with separate privacy notices.

We may share data with suppliers, partners and vendors (e.g. IT and hosting providers, advertising service providers, etc.) who provide services on our behalf in accordance with our instructions. We allow these providers to use or disclose the information only to the extent necessary to provide the contracted services or to comply with legal requirements.

We may also transfer data to third parties in the following ways:

a) to subsidiaries and to our affiliates for storage in central databases and for intra-group billing and accounting purposes;
b) if you are an applicant or freelancer, to clients who have vacancies or projects or who are interested in placing our candidates or freelancers; and
c) to other people, such as job consultants and subcontractors, with whom we work to find you a job or project;
d) if we are required to do so by law or regulation;
e) to law enforcement agencies or government officials on the basis of a lawful request for disclosure; and
f) if we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss, or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual fraudulent or illegal activity.

We also reserve the right to transfer information if we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets (including in the event of a reorganization, dissolution, or liquidation).

  1. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of all our employees and our shareholders.

  1. Duration for which the personal data will be stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiry of the period, the relevant data will be routinely deleted if it is no longer required for the performance of the contract or the initiation of the contract.

  1. Legal or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data; Necessity for the conclusion of the contract; Obligation of the affected person to provide the personal data; possible consequences of not providing

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). In some cases, it may be necessary for a affected person to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the affected person is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with him/her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the person concerned could not be concluded.
