One exception is where it is not possible to obtain consent beforehand for practical reasons and it is permitted by law to process the data.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

When we obtain consent for processing operations for personal data from the data subject, Article 6 ( 1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) forms the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

In the case of the processing of personal data which is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, Article  6 ( 1) (b) GDPR forms the legal basis. This also applies for processing operations that are necessary to take steps prior to entering into a contract.

When processing personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6 ( 1) (c) GDPR forms the legal basis.

In the event that processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, Article 6 ( 1) (d) GDPR forms the legal basis.

If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests of our company or a third party and such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Article 6 ( 1) (f) GDPR forms the legal basis for the processing.

3. Data erasure and storage period

The data subject’s personal data will be erased or made unavailable as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage can also be carried out if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other rules to which the controller is subject.

  3. The user’s Internet service provider
  4. The user’s IP address
  5. The date and time of access
  6. Websites from which the user’s system reaches our website

V. Use of cookies>

Please see our cookie declaration for details.

VI. Application and use of etracker (with anonymisation function)>

The controller responsible for processing has integrated etracker (with anonymisation function) into this website. etracker is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, compilation and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analytics service collects data on which website people arrive at a website from (known as referrers), which sub-pages of the website were accessed, or how often and for how long a sub-page was accessed. Web analytics is predominantly used to optimise a website and to perform a cost/benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The company that operates etracker is etracker GmbH, Erste Brunnenstraße 1, 20459 Hamburg.

etracker is used to analyse the flow of visitors to our website. Among other things, etracker then uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us which show activity on our web pages and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

etracker stores a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. What cookies are has already been explained above. Storing cookies enables etracker to analyse use of our website. Etracker Analytics prompts the web browser on the data subject’s IT system to transmit data to etracker for the purpose of online analytics on every visit to one of the pages of this website which is operated by the controller responsible for processing and into which etracker has been integrated. During this technical process, etracker obtains knowledge of personal data such as the data subject’s IP address which is used to determine the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements to be made, among other things.

Personal information such as the time of access, the place of access and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject is stored using cookies. This personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to etracker in Germany on every visit to our website. etracker stores this personal data in Germany. Under certain circumstances, etracker shares this personal data collected through the technical process with third parties.

As previously mentioned above, the data subject can disable the storage of cookies by our website at any time using the appropriate setting in the web browser used and therefore permanently object to the storage of cookies. Such an adjustment of the web browser used would also prevent etracker from storing a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. In addition, a cookie already stored by etracker can be deleted at any time via the web browser or other software programs.

Additional information and etrackers current privacy policy can be found at https://www.etracker.com/datenschutz/

VII. Application and use of Microsoft Teams>

We would like to inform you below about the collection and processing of personal data in connection with conducting meetings with “Microsoft Teams”.

Purpose of processing

“Microsoft Teams” to conduct conference calls, online meetings, video conferences and/or web conferences (hereinafter: Online Meetings).

“Microsoft Teams” is a service provided by Microsoft Corporation, which is headquartered in the United States.

Responsibility

The data controller for data processing directly related to the conduct of Online Meetings is Varengold Bank AG, Große Elbstraße 39, 22767 Hamburg, Germany.

Note: If you access the “Microsoft Teams” website, the “Microsoft Teams” provider is responsible for data processing. However, accessing the website is only necessary for the use of “Microsoft Teams” in order to download the software.

If you do not want to or cannot use the “Microsoft Teams” app you can also use “Microsoft Teams” via your browser. The service will then also be provided via the “Microsoft Teams” website.

What data is processed?

When using “Microsoft Teams”, various types of data are processed. The scope of the data also depends on the data you provide before or during participation in an Online Meeting.

The following personal data are subject to processing:

  • User details: e.g., display name, e-mail address if applicable, profile picture or other voluntary details in the user profile (optional), preferred language, authentication data if required.
  • Meeting metadata: e.g., date, time, meeting ID, phone numbers, location, IP addresses of the participants.
  • Text, audio and video data: You have the option of using the chat function in an Online Meeting or otherwise making personal appearance with spoken or written contributions. The text entries you make are processed in order to display them in the Online Meeting. In addition, to support video and audio formats, data is processed via the microphone or camera of the terminal device used. You can switch off the camera or mute the microphone yourself at any time via the “Microsoft Teams” settings.

Scope of the processing

“Microsoft Teams” is used to conduct Online Meetings. If a recording of an Online Meeting is intended, we will transparently inform you in advance and, if necessary, ask for your consent.

Chat content is logged when using “Microsoft Teams”. Files that users share in chats are stored in the OneDrive for Business account of the user who shared the file. Files shared by team members in a channel are stored on the team’s SharePoint site.

Automated decision-making within the meaning of Art. 22 of the GDPR is not used.

For more information on Microsoft’s processing, see below under “Data processing outside the European Union”.

“Microsoft Teams” is part of Microsoft Office 365. Microsoft Teams is a collaboration tool that also includes a video conferencing feature. Microsoft Office is software produced by Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way Redmond, WA 98052-6399 USA. “Microsoft Teams” is part of the Office 365 cloud application, for which a user account must be created. Likewise, Microsoft reserves the right to process customer data for its own business purposes. This poses a data protection risk for Microsoft Teams users. Please note, that we have no impact on Microsoft’s data processing activities. To the extent that Microsoft Teams processes personal data in connection with Microsoft’s legitimate business operations, Microsoft is the independent data controller for such use and, as such, is responsible for compliance with all applicable laws and obligations of a data controller.

Legal basis of data processing

With regard to the processing of personal data of employees of the Varengold Bank AG, section 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) is the legal basis for data processing. If the use of “Microsoft Teams” is not necessary for the establishment, implementation or termination of the employment relationship, but the use of “Microsoft Teams” is nevertheless an elementary component of the use of “Microsoft Teams”, then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR is the legal basis for data processing. In these cases, our interest is in the effective implementation of Online Meetings.

Furthermore, the legal basis for data processing when conducting Online Meetings is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, insofar as the meetings are conducted within the framework of contractual relationships.

If there is no contractual relationship, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Here, too, there is our legitimate interest in the effective implementation of Online Meetings.

Recipients/disclosure of data

Personal data processed in connection with participation in Online Meetings is generally not be passed on to third parties unless it is specially intended to be passed on. Please note that the content of Online Meetings as well as personal meetings, is often used to communicate information to customers, interested parties or third parties and is therefore intended for disclosure.

Other recipients: The provider of “Microsoft Teams” necessarily receives knowledge of the above-mentioned data to the extent that this is provided within the scope of our data processing agreement with “Microsoft Teams’.

Data Processing outside the European Union

“Microsoft Teams” is a service provided by a provider from the USA. Consequently, processing of personal data takes place in a third country (USA) with an insecure level of data protection. We have concluded an data protection agreement with the provider that complies with the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR.

We have concluded data protection agreements and EU standards data protection clauses with the provider to guarantee a minimum level of data protection. Microsoft also processes your personal data in the USA. EU standard clauses with Microsoft on Office 365 and Teams have been concluded to guarantee an appropriate level of data protection.

VIII. Application and use of YouTube>

The data controller has integrated YouTube components into this website. YouTube is an Internet video portal that enables video publishers to post video clips and other users to view, rate and comment on them free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and television programmes, but also music videos, trailers or videos made by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal.

Each time a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated into one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information on YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/about/ As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google obtain information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the person concerned.

If the person concerned is logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes which specific subpage of our website the person concerned is visiting by calling up a subpage containing a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the person concerned.

YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that the person concerned has visited our website if the person concerned is logged on to YouTube at the same time as accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the person concerned clicks on a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not want YouTube and Google to receive such information, they may prevent the transmission by logging out of their YouTube account before visiting our website.

The data protection regulations published by YouTube, which can be accessed at https://policies.google.com/privacy, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

The right to erasure is not granted if the processing is necessary

  1. to exercise the right of freedom of expression and information;

You have the right vis-à-vis the controller to information on these recipients.

6. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive personal data concerning you which you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, if

  1. the processing is based on consent in accordance with Article 6 ( 1) (a) GDPR or Article  9 ( 2) (a) GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Article 6 ( 1) (b) GDPR and
  2. the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another controller, where this is technically feasible. The freedom and rights of others may not be adversely affected by this.

The right to data portability does not apply for the processing of personal data that is necessary to perform a task that is carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

7. Right of objection

You have the right, for reasons of your own particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you that is performed in accordance with Article 6 ( 1) (e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to any profiling based on these provisions.

The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you, unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing facilitates the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Where personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising.

If you object to the processing for direct advertising purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

Notwithstanding – Directive 2002/58/EC, – you are also entitled in the context of the use of information society services to exercise your right of objection by means of automated procedures for which technical specifications are used.

8. Right to withdraw declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out based on the consent prior to withdrawal.

9. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, – including profiling, – which has legal effects for you or similar significant adverse effects for you. This does not apply if the decision

  1. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
  2. is permissible under the law of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject, and this law provides adequate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or
  3. is made with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data in accordance with Article 9 ( 1) GDPR, unless Article 9 ( 2) (a) or (g) applies and suitable steps to protect rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests have been taken.

In the cases stated in (1) and (3), the controller will take suitable steps to safeguard rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your own point of view and to contest the decision.

10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of the personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint was lodged will inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy in accordance with Article 78 GDPR.
