Arkad Partners GmbH
Hewaldstraße 10
10825 Berlin
Germany
Phone: +49 152 55623820
Email: info@arkad-partners.com
The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses or similar data).
Storage Period
Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you submit a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these grounds cease to apply.
General Information on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website
If you have consented to the processing of your data, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR where special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR.
If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your terminal device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally based on Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for taking steps prior to entering into a contract, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data where this is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following sections of this privacy policy.
Recipients of Personal Data
As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties.
We only disclose personal data to external parties where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, where we are legally required to do so (e.g. disclosure of data to tax authorities), where we have a legitimate interest in disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the disclosure of data.
Where we use processors, we only disclose our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out up to the time of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS THE PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).
WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEREAFTER NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract, or to have such data provided to a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out where technically feasible.
Access, Rectification and Erasure
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, the right to rectification or erasure of this data. You may contact us at any time if you have questions about this or any other issue relating to personal data.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer require your personal data, but you need it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.
If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
