The owners of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various items of personal data will be collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what information we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. Please note that data transmission via the internet (e.g., when communicating by e-mail) may be subject to security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not feasible.

Information about the responsible party

The party responsible for processing data for this website is:

Real Insight Advisory GmbH
Dr (UNC) Eckhart Morré
Scharfensteiner Str. 3
65187 Wiesbaden
Germany
Tel.: +49 611 238 67791
E-mail: info@real-insight.de

The responsible party is the natural person or legal entity who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose of processing the data no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted after these reasons no longer apply.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your prior consent at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent until the revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If the data processing is conducted on the basis of Art. 6 Par. 1 (e) or Art. 6 Par. 1 (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; 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 your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is for the purpose of asserting, defending, or exercising legal[GD6] claims (objection under Art. 21 Par. 1 GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 Par. 2 GDPR).

Right of complaint to the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects shall have a right of complaint[GD7] to a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. The right of complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically, on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site owner, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to https://, as well as by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, deletion, and correction

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient, and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, a right to the correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose and for further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restrict processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data that is stored by us, we usually need time to check this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to assert, defend, or exercise, legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Par. 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, this data– apart from being stored – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, defence, or exercise of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural person or legal entity, or for reasons of a substantial public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
