Collection and storage of personal data as well as the nature and purpose of their use

a) When the website is visited

When you visit our website www.lpa-ggv.com, the browser used on your end device automatically sends information to our website server, where it is stored temporarily in a log file. The following information is collected as part of this, without any action on your part, and stored until automatic deletion:

  • The IP address of the computer accessing the website,
  • The date and time of access,
  • The name and URL of the retrieved file,
  • The website from which access was made (referrer URL),
  • The browser used and, where applicable, your computer’s operating system as well as the name of your access provider.

We process the aforementioned data for the following purposes:

  • To ensure the straightforward establishment of a connection to the website,
  • To ensure ease-of-use of our website,
  • To evaluate system security and stability and
  • For other administrative purposes.

Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. f) GDPR forms the legal basis for the data processing. Our legitimate interest derives from the purposes for collecting data listed above. We never use the collected data to draw conclusions about your person.

We also use cookies and analytics services in relation to visits to our website. For more information on this, please refer to Points 4 and 5 of this Privacy Policy.

b) When our newsletter is subscribed to

If you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit a) GDPR, we use your email address to regularly send you our newsletter. Only an email address need be provided to receive the newsletter.

The newsletter is sent via MailChimp, a newsletter distribution platform of the US-provider The Rocket Science Group LLC (”MailChimp”), 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

The e-mail addresses of our newsletter recipients are stored on the servers of MailChimp in the US. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletters on our behalf. Furthermore, MailChimp can use these data according to its own information for the optimization or improvement of its own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of the distribution and the visualization of the newsletters or for economic purposes to determine which countries the receivers come from. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to contact them or pass them on to third parties. For the privacy policy of MailChimp, please refer to: mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/.

The newsletters contain a so-called “web-beacon”, i.e. a file the size of a pixel, which is retrieved from the MailChimp server when the newsletter is opened. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval are first collected. This information is used to technically improve the services on the basis of the technical data or the target groups and their reading behaviour on the basis of their retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or access times.

The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our nor MailChimp’s aim to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our contents to them or to send different contents according to the interests of our users.

There are cases in which we direct newsletter recipients to the MailChimp websites. For example, our newsletters contain a link with which the newsletter recipients can call up the newsletters online (e.g. in the case of display problems in the e-mail program). Furthermore, newsletter recipients can subsequently correct their data, such as the email address. Likewise, the privacy policy of MailChimp is only available on their site.

In this context, we point out that cookies are used on the MailChimp websites and that personal data is processed by MailChimp, its partners and service providers (e.g. Google Analytics). We have no influence on this data collection. For further information please refer to MailChimp’s privacy policy. In addition, we draw your attention to the possibilities of objection to the data collection for advertising purposes on the websites http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ (for the European area).

We trust in the reliability and the IT- and data security of MailChimp. MailChimp is certified under the US-EU privacy agreement ”Privacy Shield” and thereby undertakes to comply with EU data protection requirements. Moreover, we have concluded a ”Data-Processing-Agreement” with MailChimp. It is a contract in which MailChimp undertakes to protect the data of our users, to process it on our behalf in agreement with our data protection regulations and especially not to pass it on to third parties.

You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter, i.e. revoke your consent, at any time. Thereby, your consent to the dispatch of the newsletter via MailChimp and the statistical analyses will expire. A separate revocation of the dispatch via MailChimp or the statistical analysis is unfortunately not possible. You will find a link to cancel the newsletter at the end of each newsletter. Alternatively, you can also send an email to [email protected] at any time to let us know that you wish to unsubscribe.

c) Online applications

If you apply to work with us, GGV continues to store the personal data provided by you within the context of the application process as a whole (in letters, CV, references, etc.) after the specific application process has ended. You consent to GGV using these data to contact you in the future as well and to continue the application process should you be considered for a different position.

If you have even provided ”special categories of personal data” pursuant to Article 9 of the GDPR (such as a photo from which it is possible to identify your ethnic origin, information regarding a status of severe disability, etc.) in your application letter or other documents submitted by you during the application process, your consent also applies to these data. However, GGV wishes to evaluate all candidates solely on the basis of their qualifications and therefore asks that such information be omitted from your application where possible.

This consent also applies to data regarding your qualifications and activities from generally accessible data sources (particularly professional social networks) which GGV lawfully collects in the context of the application process. Your data are not shared with third parties.

Your consent is voluntary and has no impact on your likelihood of success in the respective application process. You may withhold such consent without providing reasons without having to fear being put at a disadvantage. You may also withdraw your consent at any time; your data are then deleted without undue delay once the application process has been concluded.

Data processing for the purpose of conducting an application process is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit b) 2nd alternative GDPR and possibly also Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. a)GDPR on the basis of your voluntarily given consent.

d) Events

We provide a contact form on our website for any communication you may wish to have with us with regard to events. A valid email address must be provided in this regard so that we know who has sent the request and can respond. Further information may be provided on a voluntary basis.

Data processing for the purpose of making contact with us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit a) GDPR on the basis of your voluntarily given consent.

The personal data we collect through use of the contact form are deleted once your query has been dealt with (in the case of participation, after the event has been held and follow-up activities have been completed).

Transfer of data

Your personal data are not transferred to third parties other than for the purposes listed below.

We only disclose your personal data to third parties:

  • If you have expressly consented to this pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit a)GDPR,
  • If the disclosure is necessary pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. f) GDPR for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in your data not being disclosed,
  • In the event that there is a legal obligation to disclose the data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. c) GDPR and
  • If this is legally permitted and required pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit b) GDPR for the handling of contractual relationships with you.

Cookies

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small files automatically created by your browser and stored on your end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device and do not contain viruses, Trojans or other malware.

Cookies contain information created in each case in connection with the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we can thereby identify you directly.

On the one hand, cookies are used to make our website more user friendly for you. That is why we use session cookies to recognise that you have already visited certain pages of our website before. These are automatically deleted after you leave our website.

In addition to this, we use temporary cookies that are stored on your end device for a particular period of time, also with the aim of making the website more user friendly. If you return to our website in order to avail of our services, it is automatically recognised that you have visited us before and your inputs and settings are remembered so that you do not need to enter these again.

On the other hand, we use cookies to compile statistics on and analyse usage of our website in order to optimise our website for you (see Point 5). These cookies allow us to automatically remember you when you visit our website again and are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.

The data processed through cookies are necessary for the specified purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by ourselves and third parties pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can configure your browser to not store cookies on your computer or always inform you before a new cookie is placed. If you fully disable cookies, however, you may not be able to use all of the features of our website.

Use of Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (”Google”).

Google Analytics uses cookies, which are small text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie will usually be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. If IP anonymisation is activated on this website, Google will truncate your IP address inside Member States of the European Union respectively states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to the United States and truncated there. On our behalf, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage for us.

Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google within the context of Google Analytics.

You may refuse the saving of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to fully use all information available on this website.

To prevent the collection of data created by cookies and referring to your use of the website (including your IP address) for Google as well as the processing of these data by Google, download and install the browser plug-in for your current web browser available at the following link http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

Our website uses Google Analytics with the add-on ”_anonymizeIp()”. This ensures the processing of truncated IP addresses which excludes any direct reference to natural persons.

If the data collected about you is related to a person, this is excluded promptly and the personal data is deleted immediately.

We use Google Analytics to analyse and to regularly improve the use of our site. Through the statistics and insights that we get, we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. With regard to the exceptional case where personal data is transferred to the US, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

The legal basis for using Google Analytics is art. 6, para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

The use of Google Analytics is subject to the requirements that German data protection authorities have agreed upon with Google.

The use of Google Forms is based on our legitimate interest in determining your request in the most user-friendly way possible (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)). If a corresponding consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Sec. 25 para. 1 of the German Telecommunications-Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG), insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the German Telecommunications-Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG).

If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we revert instead to 128-bit v3 technology. A whole key or closed padlock icon in your browser’s lower status bar indicates whether individual pages of our website are transmitted in encrypted form.

In addition, we use suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction and unauthorised third-party access. We continuously improve our security measures in line with technological advancements.
