Data protection<\/h3>\n

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. <\/p>\n

When you use this website, various types of personal data are collected. Personal data is information that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. <\/p>\n

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be vulnerable to security breaches. It is not possible to guarantee complete protection of data against access by third parties. <\/p>\n

Information regarding the data controller<\/h3>\n

The data controller for this website is:<\/p>\n

Pontis Social Impact GmbH
\nSteubenstra\u00dfe 11b
\n65189 Wiesbaden \/ Germany<\/p>\n

Phone: +49 160 7412564
\nEmail: info@pontis-social-impact.de<\/p>\n

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).<\/p>\n

Retention period<\/h3>\n

Unless a more specific retention period is stated in this privacy policy, we will retain your personal data until the purpose for which it was processed no longer applies. If you submit a valid request for erasure or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be erased unless we have other legally valid grounds for retaining your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be erased once these grounds no longer apply. <\/p>\n

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website<\/h3>\n

Where you have consented to the processing of your data, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, where special categories of data as defined in Article 9(1) of the GDPR are processed. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Article 49(1)(a) of the GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is also carried out on the basis of Section 25(1) of the TTDSG. You may withdraw your consent at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data where this is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, in accordance with Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The relevant legal basis for each specific case is set out in the following sections of this privacy policy. <\/p>\n

Information regarding the transfer of data to the USA and other third countries<\/h3>\n

Among other things, we use tools provided by companies based in the USA or other third countries that do not offer adequate data protection standards. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. Please note that these countries cannot guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. For example, US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities, and you, as the data subject, would have no legal recourse against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence agencies) may process, analyse and permanently store your data held on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities. <\/p>\n

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing<\/h3>\n

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal. <\/p>\n

Widerspruchsrecht gegen die Datenerhebung in besonderen F\u00e4llen sowie gegen Direktwerbung (Art. 21 DSGVO)<\/h3>\n

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ARTICLE 6(1)( E OR F OF THE GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. YOU CAN FIND THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, , EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21(1) OF THE GDPR). <\/p>\n

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING PURPOSES; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING, INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR). <\/p>\n

Right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority<\/h3>\n

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 where the alleged infringement occurred. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies. <\/p>\n

Right to data portability<\/h3>\n

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, either for yourself or for 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 take place to the extent that it is technically feasible. <\/p>\n
