3. GENERAL INFORMATION AND MANDATORY INFORMATION

Data Protection

The operators 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 personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens. We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Notice on the Responsible Entity

The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:

Next Virtual Office Solutions GmbH i.G.

Kolonnenstr. 3

10827 Berlin

[Company phone number] -> to be added

[Company email address] -> to be added

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

Storage Duration

Unless a more specific storage duration is mentioned within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, provided we have no other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, the data will be deleted after these reasons no longer apply.

Notice on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries

We use tools from companies based in the USA or other countries outside the scope of European data protection laws. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that these countries do not guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. For example, US companies are required to hand over personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) might process, analyze, and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities. To secure data transfers to third countries, we rely on standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission. These clauses require the recipients in third countries to maintain a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

These cookies enable us or you to use certain services provided by the third-party company (e.g., cookies for processing payment services). Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or displaying videos). Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or display advertising.

Cookies required for the electronic communication process (necessary cookies), for providing certain functions you want (functional cookies, e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies to measure web audience) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services.
