Privacy statement

1. Introduction

In the following, we provide information about the processing of personal data when using our website www.derstartupcfo.com our social media profiles.

Personal data is all data that can be related to a specific natural person, such as their name or IP address.

1.1. contact details

The controller in accordance with Article 4 (7) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is nugrow GmbH, Südring 23 44787 Bochum, e-mail: [email protected]. We are legally represented by Sebastian Janus.

Gesetzlich vertreten werden wir durch Florian Wilk.

1.2. Scope of data processing, processing purposes and legal bases

The scope of data processing, processing purposes and legal bases is set out in detail below. In principle, the following can be considered as the legal basis for data processing:

Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves us as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent.

Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR is the legal basis insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract, e.g. when 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 inquiries about our products or services.

Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR applies if we fulfill a legal obligation by processing personal data, as may be the case, for example, in tax law.

Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis if we can rely on legitimate interests to process personal data, e.g. for cookies that are necessary for the technical operation of our website.

1.3. Data processing outside the EEA

Insofar as we transfer data to service providers or other third parties outside the EEA, the security of the data when transferred, as far as available (e.g. for Great Britain, Canada and Israel), guarantees the security of the data (Art. 45 (3) GDPR). If there is no adequacy decision (e.g. for the USA), the legal basis for the transfer of data is usually standard contractual clauses, i.e. unless we provide otherwise. These are rules adopted by the EU Commission and are part of the contract with the respective third party. In accordance with Article 46 (2) (b) GDPR, they guarantee the security of data transfer. Many of the providers have provided contractual guarantees that go beyond the standard contractual clauses, which protect the data beyond the standard contractual clauses. These include, for example, guarantees with regard to the encryption of data or with regard to an obligation on the part of a third party to notify data subjects when law enforcement agencies want to access data.

1.4. Storage period

Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any legal storage requirements. If the data is not deleted because it is necessary for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted, i.e. the data will be blocked and not for others

purposes processed. This applies, for example, to data that we must store for commercial or tax reasons.

1.5. Rights of those affected

Data subjects have the following rights vis-à-vis us with regard to personal data concerning them:

●Right to information,

●Right to correction or deletion,

●Right to restrict processing,

●Right to object to processing,

●Right to data portability,

●Right to withdraw consent at any time.

Data subjects also have the right to contact a data protection

to complain to supervisory authorities about the processing of their personal data. The contact details of the data protection supervisory authorities are here retrievable.

1.6. Obligation to provide data

As part of a business relationship or other relationship, customers, interested parties or third parties must only provide us with the personal data that is necessary to establish, carry out and end the business relationship or for the other relationship or which we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will usually have to refuse to conclude a contract or provide a service or will no longer be able to carry out an existing contract or other relationship. Mandatory information is marked as such.

1.7. No automatic decision-making in individual cases

In principle, we do not use fully automated decision-making in accordance with Article 22 GDPR to establish and carry out a business relationship or other relationship. Should we use these procedures in individual cases, we will inform you of this separately, provided this is required by law.

1.8. contacting

When you contact us, e.g. by e-mail or telephone, the data provided to us (e.g. names and e-mail addresses) is stored by us in order to answer questions. The legal basis for processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) to answer inquiries addressed to us. We delete the data arising in this context after storage is no longer necessary, or restrict processing if there are legal storage obligations.
