6. Deletion periods

We process (and store) your personal data in order to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations or for the purpose for which you provide us with the data.

7. Your rights under the Basic EU Data Protection Regulation

1. (Preliminary) information

You are reading this right now.

2. Information

Upon request you will receive a compilation of your personal data stored by us.

3. Correction

You have the right to have erroneously collected data corrected without delay.

4. Deletion

We delete your data as soon as their processing is no longer necessary. However, there are exceptions, see the following paragraph.

5. Restriction of the
processing

Your data will no longer be used by us if the purpose of processing no longer applies, but we are not yet allowed to delete it due to overriding legal regulations.

6. Data transferability

Upon request, you will receive your data in a suitable form for transfer to a third party.

7. Revocation

If you have given us your consent to process your personal data for certain processing purposes, you can revoke this consent at any time without giving any reasons.

8. Objection

If data processing is in the public interest or was justified on the basis of a balance of interests ("overriding legitimate interest"), you can object to the processing of your personal data for contractual purposes.

9. Complaint

If you believe that the processing of your personal data by ACATIS Investment Kapitalverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH is unlawful, you have the right to complain to the supervisory authority of your place of residence.

8. Are there any obligations to provide and process data?

In particular, we are obliged under the provisions of money laundering law to identify you before establishing the business relationship, for example, on the basis of your identity card and to collect and record your name, place of birth, date of birth, nationality and address. In order for 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 arising in the course of the business relationship. As a financial services institution subject to supervision by the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority, we are legally obliged to process certain data when providing financial services (e.g. financial portfolio management, investment advice).
As part of our business relationship, you must therefore provide the personal data required for the establishment and implementation of a business relationship and the fulfilment of the associated contractual obligations or which we are legally obliged to collect. Without these data we will usually have to refuse the conclusion of the contract or the execution of the order or we will no longer be able 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 establish or continue the business relationship you have requested.

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

In principle, we do not use fully automated decision making in accordance with Article 22 DSVO for the establishment and implementation of the business relationship. Should we use these procedures in individual cases, we will inform you separately, insofar as this is required by law.

10. Electronic communication

If you send us a message by e-mail, the processing is usually required as a pre-contractual or contractual measure. Furthermore, you give us your voluntary consent to the processing of your required personal data for the purpose of contacting us. For this purpose, a valid e-mail address is required, which serves to assign your inquiry and answer it. The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry and for possible follow-up questions.

11. Consequences of revocation of consent and objection

If you revoke a necessary and already given consent, we will no longer process your personal data. If you object to data processing in the public interest or on the basis of a balance of interests, we will no longer process your personal data, unless we can prove compelling reasons for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If you object to the processing for direct advertising purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes.
