In the event that your personal data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) DSGVO, you may object to this processing under the conditions of Art. 21 (1) DSGVO for reasons arising from your particular situation.


You may object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time and without giving reasons with effect for the future (Art. 21 (2) DSGVO).


If you have provided us with personal data, you may request the transfer of the data under the legal conditions (Art. 20 DSGVO).


If the processing is based on consent within the meaning of Art. 6 S. 1 Para. 1 lit. a) or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a) DSGVO, you may revoke your consent for the future at any time (Art. 7 Para. 3 DSGVO).

storage period and deletion of your personal data

We delete your personal data:


» as soon as they are no longer required for the processing purposes explained below,
» in the event of an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO, no compelling reasons worthy of protection on the part of our company oppose the deletion, or
» in the event of a revocation of consent, there is no other legal basis for the processing.


If and as long as a deletion conflicts with legal retention obligations, we limit the processing of your data to this archiving purpose (so-called data blocking) and delete your data upon expiry of the retention period. Typical retention periods under German commercial and tax law are six years at the end of the year for business letters (including e-mails) and ten years at the end of the year for accounting-related transactions or records of communication in connection with investment brokerage by Linus Relationship Management GmbH.

Data transfers to third countries

If, as in the case of the USA, the level of data protection there does not correspond to the level of data protection within the EU, we provide suitable guarantees within the meaning of Article 46 of the GDPR. This may include the agreement of EU standard contractual clauses and, if necessary, additional measures to ensure an adequate level of data protection.

Automated decision making

We do not process your personal data for automated decision-making that has legal effect on you or similarly significantly affects you.

2. Data processing during general use of our website


a) Internet connection data

You can use our website at www.linus-finance.com without registering as a user. In this case, we process the internet connection data that your browser automatically transmits to our server. This data is your IP address and other usage data (e.g. date and time of the call, name of the page called up, amount of data transferred and the requesting provider). We need this information to enable you to use our website, for example by adapting the website to the needs of your terminal device. The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest in ensuring the security and usability of our website, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. We store the personal data in question for a period of twelve months.

Accesses and storage on your terminal device ("cookies")

We use tracking technologies on our website, in particular so-called "cookies". Cookies are text files that are stored on your terminal device. User-related pseudonymous data can be stored in these files and such information can be read.


When you access our website for the first time, we display a so-called cookie banner, which you can use to decide whether and which of the non-technical cookies you wish to accept. You can change your selection at any time in the cookie settings for the future. To access the cookie settings, please click on the following symbol at the bottom left of our website:

In certain cases, the storage of information in your terminal device or the access to information already stored in your terminal device is absolutely necessary so that we can provide you with our website for use ("Necessary Cookies"). In these cases, access to your terminal device takes place on the basis of Section 25 (2) (2) TTDSG. Insofar as this information has a personal reference and is processed by us in our IT systems, the legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest in providing our website and ensuring data security, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. If you are a registered user and the data processing serves the fulfilment of our obligations from the platform usage contract concluded with you, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO.

We only use technically unnecessary cookies, i.e. cookies of the categories "preferences", "statistics" and "marketing" with your consent. With your consent, you agree both to the storage and reading of information in the respective cookies (§ 25 para. 1 TTDSG) and to the further processing of any personal data read out (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO). We use preference cookies to display our website according to your user preferences. For such cookies, we store, for example, the information about which language you have selected. We use statistics cookies to analyse user behaviour on our website. We use marketing cookies to measure the success of our online advertising and to show you individually tailored display advertising for our company on third-party websites. For these purposes, we as well as the respective third party cookie providers may create usage profiles. Such usage profiles do not contain any clear personal data (e.g. not your name or e-mail address), but are subject to data protection law as pseudonymous data. For more information about the file names, storage duration, provider and category of the respective cookie, please refer to the cookie settings.

In particular, we use the third-party analytics and marketing tools described in more detail below. These third-party providers are based in or use servers in third countries outside the EU and the EEA, in particular in the USA. When deciding which cookies you wish to consent to, please bear in mind that the level of data protection in the USA and other so-called insecure third countries is not comparable to that in the EU. In the USA in particular, surveillance authorities can access your data without any reason and, if you are not a citizen of the USA, you currently have only very limited legal remedies against any access to your data. Although the EU Commission and the US government announced a "Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework" in March 2022 as a new mechanism for US data transfers, this is not expected to be implemented until the end of this year.

With your consent to the setting of the relevant cookies, you consent to the storage and reading of information in/from the respective cookies (§ 25 para. 1 TTDSG), the further processing of any personal data read out (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO) and a related transfer to third countries outside the EU or the EEA, in which no level of data protection exists (Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO).

Google Analytics

We use functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA and use cookies from Google for this purpose. In some of these cookies, a pseudonymous user ID assigned by Google is stored, which makes it possible to assign data relating to usage behaviour on our website to this pseudonymous user. We have commissioned Google to use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services related to website and internet use.


The data collected by Google Analytics is stored on Google servers in the USA. We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.


More information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found here. You can access Google's privacy policy here.

Google Marketing Platform

We use services of the Google Marketing Platform (formerly "Google Doubleclick") of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA and use third-party cookies from Google for this purpose. A pseudonymous user ID assigned by Google is stored with these cookies, which enables Google to recognise the user. If you consent to the setting of these cookies on our website, your browser will automatically establish a connection to Google servers in the USA. Google can use this information to determine which advertisements, websites and parts of websites the user has accessed and to enrich pseudonymous user profiles with this information. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate your visit with your user account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will obtain and store your IP address. This data processing is done for the purpose of placing online advertising tailored to the user and to be able to track the success of advertising measures.


More information on the handling of user data within the framework of the Google Marketing Platform can be found here. You can access Google's privacy policy here.

Facebook Pixel and Custom Audience

We use the so-called "Facebook Pixel" of the social network Facebook on our website, which is operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (formerly Facebook Ireland Ltd.), 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta"). The Facebook pixel allows us to track the actions of users after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook ad. This allows us to track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. The tracking itself is done via cookie, not via the Facebook pixel itself. It is also possible to determine the visitors to our online offer as a target group ("Custom Audience") for the display of ads. Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in the topics or products defined by us). When using Custom Audience via the pixel method, a direct connection is established between the user's browser and the Facebook server. Context data (e.g. forwarding URL, browser information and the Facebook user ID) as well as user-defined data are transmitted to Meta. In addition, we cannot rule out the possibility that further personal data of users may be transmitted to Meta and processed by Meta. In this context, it is possible that Meta assigns the visit to our website to the corresponding Facebook account and identifies the user accordingly. For us, the collected data is anonymous, i.e. we do not see the personal data of individual users. Meta may also use this data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook's data policies. You may allow Meta and its partners to serve ads on and off Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes.

LinkedIn provides us with anonymised reports, which contain data about ad activity and information about your interaction with our website. LinkedIn may use the information collected via the cookie to create or enrich pseudonymous user profiles. Further information from LinkedIn on the cookies used can be found here.

Further information on data processing by Outbrain can be found here.

Twitter


We use pixels from the provider Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market Street Suite 900 San Francisco, CA 94103, USA on our website.

7. social networks, social media


LINUS maintains presence in the following social networks:
- Facebook (https://www.facebook.com): operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (formerly Facebook Ireland Ltd.), 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland; Privacy Policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy; https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads; Facebook Page and Insights Notices: Facebook Page Personal Data Sharing Agreement: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum, https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data;
- LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com): operated by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland; privacy policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy;
- Twitter (https://twitter.com/): operated by Twitter Inc, 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA; privacy policy: https://twitter.com/de/privacy;
- Xing (https://www.xing.com/): operated by New Work SE, Am Strandkai 1, 20457 Hamburg, Germany; privacy policy: https://privacy.xing.com/de/datenschutzerklaerung.

In this way, we provide information about ourselves and communicate with the respective users. This data protection declaration and our imprint also apply to the aforementioned online presences. If you contact us via social networks - for example, for application purposes or with other requests - we will treat your data as described in this data protection declaration. Unless otherwise stated, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in external presentation and communication (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO).


The providers of the social networks regularly process the users' data for advertising purposes and create usage profiles based on the users' activities for this purpose. For this purpose, the social networks also use cookies and other tracking technologies. We have no influence on this data processing by the providers. More detailed information on this can be found in the data protection declarations of the respective provider. There you will also find information on the assertion of information claims and other data subject rights against the providers.

Facebook offers us, as fan page operators, aggregated information about the users of the website (so-called Facebook Insights). We use this information in our legitimate interest in advertising and the needs-based design of our internet presence (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) DSGVO). With regard to the processing of user data, there is a joint responsibility between us and Facebook in this respect. Facebook has undertaken to fulfil all obligations arising from the GDPR with regard to the processing of insights data, including the rights of data subjects (such as claims for information). Please therefore contact Facebook directly with any relevant requests.


Finally, we would like to point out that the providers of the social networks may process the users' data outside the European Economic Area, for example in the USA. In this case, there may be a lower level of data protection than within the EU, and the enforcement of users' rights against the providers on the basis of EU law may be more difficult.
