8. Are there obligations to provide and process data?

In particular, we are obliged under money laundering law to identify you before establishing the business relationship, for example by means of your identity card, and to record and record your name, place and date of birth, nationality and residential address. To enable us to comply with this legal obligation, you must provide us with the necessary information and documents in accordance with the Money Laundering Act and notify us immediately of any changes that occur during the course of the business relationship. As a financial services institution subject to the supervision of the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority, we are legally obliged to process certain data when providing financial services (e.g. financial portfolio management, investment advice, investment and acquisition brokerage).

Within the scope of our business relationship, you must therefore provide us with those personal data which are necessary for the establishment and execution of a business relationship and the fulfilment of the associated contractual obligations or which we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will usually have to refuse to conclude the contract or execute the order, or be unable to execute an existing contract and may have to terminate it. If you do not provide us with the necessary information and documents, we may not commence or continue the business relationship requested by you.

9. Is there automatic decision making (including profiling)?

We do not use automated decision making according to Art. 22 EU-DSGVO.

10. Data protection for applications and the application process

The data controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out by electronic means. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits relevant application documents to the data controller by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data is stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions.

If the data controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents shall be automatically deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, unless deletion is contrary to any other legitimate interests of the data controller. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, a duty of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

11. Right of objection

If your personal data is processed by us on the basis of legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 Par. 1 S. 1 lit. f DSGVO, you have the right, in accordance with Art. 21 DSGVO, to object to the processing of your personal data if this is done for reasons arising from your particular situation. In the event of an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can prove compelling reasons for processing worthy of protection that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

The objection can be made without formality and should be addressed to
