3. Cookies and similar technologies

We do not use any cookies or similar technologies on our Website.

4. Automated decision making

We do not use automated decision making in the processing of your Personal Data on the website.

5. Cross-border data transmission

In principle, all Personal Data is stored on the internet computer in storage space, a type of blockchain developed by the Difinity Foundation ("Internet Computer") that is located and accessible world-wide and therefore also from countries that do not provide for an appropriate data protection from a British Virgin Island or European law perspective. We rely on your consent for us to transfer the data into this storage. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

In some cases, especially our service providers or group companies, these providers or entities may be based outside the EU/EEA, so that the applicable laws require a different national level of data protection than that provided for in the BVI or within the EU and EEA. When transferring data to such countries, we try to ensure (e.g. by using appropriate contractual safeguards) that the recipients concerned guarantee an appropriate level of data protection comparable to that in the EU/EEA. A copy of the respective appropriate and adequate guarantees is available upon request.

6. Duration of data processing

Your Personal Data will be stored by us and/or our service providers exclusively to the extent necessary to fulfill our obligations. The Personal Data will be stored exclusively for the period necessary to achieve the purposes for which the Personal Data were collected. This is done in each case in accordance with applicable data protection law. When we no longer need your Personal Data, we delete it and/or take the necessary measures to properly anonymize it. This does not apply insofar as we are obliged to retain the data for a longer period of time, in particular in order to comply with statutory retention obligations. For example, Personal Data contained in contracts, communications and business letters may be subject to legal retention obligations that may require retention for up to 10 years. Otherwise, we generally delete other Personal Data 5 years after the end of the respective contractual relationship between you and us.

7. Rights of the data subjects

In accordance with and to the extent provided by applicable law (as in cases where the GDPR applies), you have the right to access, rectify and erase your Personal Data, the right to restrict processing or the right to object to our data processing; in addition, you may have the right to obtain certain Personal Data for transfer to another controller (data portability). If the processing of your data is based on consent, you also have the right to withdraw this consent. Please note, however, that we reserve the right to assert legal restrictions on our part. In addition, every data subject has the right to assert his or her rights in court or to file a complaint with the competent data protection authority in accordance with the applicable laws.

8. Data security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access and misuse while they are with us, e.g. access controls and restrictions.
