Cookies and right to object for direct marketing purposes

"Cookies" are small files that are stored on users' computers. Different information can be stored within the cookies. A cookie is primarily used to store the information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after his visit to an online offer. Temporary cookies, or "session cookies" or "transient cookies", are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online service and closes his browser. In such a cookie, e.g. the contents of a shopping cart in an online shop or a login status are saved. The term "permanent" or "persistent" refers to cookies that remain stored even after the browser has been closed. Thus, e.g. the login status will be saved if users visit it after several days. Likewise, in such a cookie the interests of the users can be stored, which are used for measurement of reach or marketing purposes. A "third-party cookie" refers to cookies that are offered by providers other than the person responsible for providing the online offer (otherwise, if only their cookies are called "first-party cookies").

We can use temporary and permanent cookies and clarify this in the context of our privacy policy.

If you do not want cookies stored on your computer, you will be asked to disable the corresponding option in the system settings of your browser. Saved cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional restrictions of our online offering.

A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be done with a variety of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site https://www.youronlinechoices.com/. The same result can be achieved by switching cookies off in the settings of the browser. Again, the exclusion of cookies can lead to functional restrictions of our online offering.

 

Automatic collection of personal data

When you access our websites, your browser automatically transmits certain data for technical reasons. The following data are stored separately from any other data you may transmit to us:
 

• Date and time of access
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• URL of website visited prior to ours (referrer website)
• Amount of sent data

These data are stored for purely technical reasons and are never associated with any particular individual.

 

Registration and user account

Users can create a user account. As part of the registration, the required mandatory information is communicated to the users and based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR processed for purposes of providing the user account. The processed data includes, in particular, the login information (name, password, country of origin, investor type and an email address). The data entered during registration will be used for the purpose of using the user account and its purpose.

Users will be informed via email about relevant information regarding their user account, e.g. technical changes, portfolio reports and portfolio alert notifications.

If users have terminated their user account, their data will be deleted with respect to the user account, subject to a statutory retention requirement. It is the responsibility of the users to secure their data upon termination before the end of the contract. We are entitled to irretrievably delete all user data stored during the term of the contract.

In the context of the use of our registration and login process as well as the use of the user account, the IP address and the time of the respective user action will be saved. The storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as the user's protection against misuse and other unauthorised use. A transfer of these data to third parties does not take place unless it is necessary for the prosecution of our claims or there is a legal obligation in accordance with. Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. The IP addresses will be anonymised or deleted after 7 days at the latest.

 

Portfolio data

In addition, you may voluntarily enter virtual portfolio transaction data (collectively referred to as "portfolio data") and a bank name in your user account. We collect this data in order to provide you with the corresponding functions of our portfolio management on justETF, Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.

You are not required to provide the above voluntary information. Without this data, however, we will not be able to provide you with the appropriate features of our portfolio management.

The portfolio data you enter will never be disclosed to third parties or otherwise disclosed. They are only used to produce fully anonymous statistics.

 

Order processing of paid subscriptions

We process the data of our customers during the ordering process of paid subscriptions in our online shop to enable them to select and order the selected products and services as well as pay for them and use them.

The processed data includes base data, contact details, communication data, contract data, payment data and persons affected by the processing belong to our customers, prospects and other business partners. The processing is for the purpose of providing contractual services in the context of the operation of an online shop, billing, provision and customer service.

Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b (execution of order transactions) and c (legally required archiving) GDPR. The information marked as required for the establishment and fulfilment of the contract is required. We disclose the data to third parties only in the context of the provision, payment or within the framework of the legal permissions and obligations to legal advisers and authorities.

The deletion takes place after expiry of legal warranty and comparable obligations, the necessity of keeping the data is checked every three years; in the case of legal archiving obligations, the deletion takes place after its expiration (end of commercial law (6 years) and tax law (10 years) retention obligation).

 

External payment service provider

All payment processes are processed via the payment service provider BS PAYONE GmbH (“BS PAYONE”), Lyoner Strasse 9, 60528 Frankfurt / Main, Germany, to whom we provide your information communicated during the ordering process in addition to the information about your order pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.

Amongst the data processed by the payment service provider are base data, e.g. the name and the address, bank data, such as account numbers or credit card numbers. The information is required to complete the transactions. Credit card-related information is only stored and processed by the payment service provider.

 

Administration, financial accounting, office organisation, contact management

We process data in the context of administrative tasks and organisation of our business, financial accounting and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving. In doing so, we process the same data that we process in the course of rendering our contractual services. The processing principles are Art. 6 (1) lit. c. GDPR, Art. 6 (1) lit. f. GDPR. The processing affects customers, prospects, business partners and website visitors. The purpose and interest in processing lie in administration, financial accounting, office organisation, data archiving, that is, tasks that serve to maintain our business, perform our duties and provide our services. The deletion of the data in terms of contractual performance and contractual communication corresponds to the information provided in these processing activities.

We disclose or transmit data to the financial administration, consultants, such as tax accountants or auditors, and other fee agents and payment service providers.

Furthermore, based on our business interests, we store information about suppliers, promoters and other business partners, e.g. for later contact. We generally store this majority of company-related data permanently.

 

Business analysis and market research

In order to operate our business economically, to recognise market trends, wishes of the contractors and users, we analyse the data available to us for business transactions, contracts, inquiries, etc. We process base data, contact details, communication data, contract data, payment data, usage data, metadata based on the nature of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, whereby the data subjects include contractual partners, interested parties, customers, visitors and users of our online offer.

The analyses are carried out for the purpose of business analysis, marketing and market research. In doing so, we can take advantage of profiles of registered users with information, e.g. take into account their services. The analyses serve us to increase the user-friendliness, the optimisation of our offer and business economics. The analyses are for us alone and will not be disclosed externally unless they are anonymous, aggregated value reports.

If these analyses or profiles are personal, they will be deleted or anonymised upon termination of the users, otherwise after two years from the conclusion of the contract. Incidentally, the overall business analyses and general trend projections are created anonymously if possible.

Newsletter

With the following information, we inform you about the content of our newsletter as well as the registration, sending and statistical evaluation procedures as well as your right of objection. By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to the receipt and the procedures described.

Content of the newsletter: We send newsletters, emails and other electronic notifications with advertising information (hereinafter "newsletter") only with the consent of the recipient or legal permission. Insofar as the content of a newsletter is concretely described, they are authoritative for the consent of the users. Among others, our newsletter contains information about our services and us.

Double opt-in and logging: Registration for our newsletter is done in a so-called double-opt-in procedure. You receive an email asking you to confirm your registration after you registered (e.g. at www.justetf.com/newsletter). This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with external email addresses. The registration for the newsletter will be logged in order to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes saving the registration and confirmation times. Likewise, changes to your data stored with the newsletter service provider will be logged.

Sign-up credentials: To sign up for the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide your email address. Optionally, we ask you to give a surname and first name for a personal salutation.

The sending of the newsletter and the associated performance measurement are based on the consent of the recipients acc. Art. 6 (1) lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR in combination with Art. 7 (2) No. 3 UWG (German law against unfair competition) or if consent is not required, based on our legitimate interests in the direct marketing acc. Art. 6 (1) lt. f GDPR in combination with Art. 7 (3) UWG (German law against unfair competition).

The logging of the registration process is based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our interest lies in the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system, which serves both our business interests and the expectations of the users and also allows us to prove our consent.

Termination / Revocation: You can terminate the receipt of our newsletter at any time, i.e. revoke your consent. A link to cancel the newsletter can be found at the end of each newsletter. We may save the email addresses for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests before we delete them in order to provide evidence of prior consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defence against claims. An individual request for cancellation is possible at any time, provided that at the same time the former existence of consent is confirmed.

The newsletter is sent by the newsletter service provider CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstrasse 43, 26180 Rastede, Germany. The privacy policy of the shipping service provider can be viewed here: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/datenschutz/. The newsletter service provider is used based on our legitimate interests acc. Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR and a contract processing agreement acc. Art. 28 (3) sentence 1 GDPR.

The newsletter service provider may use the data of the recipients in pseudonymous form, i.e. without assignment to a user, to optimise or improve their own services, e.g. for the technical optimisation of sending and the presentation of newsletters or for statistical purposes. However, the shipping service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to address them themselves or to pass the data on to third parties.

The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server when opening the newsletter or from the server of the newsletter service provider. This request will collect technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval.

This information is used to improve the technical performance of services based on technical data or audience and their reading habits, based on their locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times. Statistical surveys also include determining if the newsletters are opened, when they will be opened and which links will be clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our goal nor that of the newsletter service provider to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognise the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

A separate revocation of the performance measurement is unfortunately not possible, in this case, the entire newsletter subscription must be terminated.

 

Contact form and other forms of getting in touch with us

When you contact us (for example, by contact form, email, telephone or via social media), we will process the contact request based on the received data in accordance with. Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. User information can be stored in a customer relationship management system ("CRM System") or comparable software.

We delete the requests if they are no longer required. We check the necessity every two years; Furthermore, the legal archiving obligations apply.

 

Participation in affiliate programs

Within our online offer, we rely on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offering) acc. Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR industry-standard tracking measures, as far as these are necessary for the operation of the affiliate system. Below we give clarification about the technical background.

The services offered by our contractual partners can also be advertised and linked to other websites (so-called affiliate links or after-buy systems, if, for example, links or services of third parties are offered after the conclusion of a contract). The operators of the respective websites receive a commission if users follow the affiliate links and then take advantage of the offers.

In summary, our online offering requires us to be able to keep track of whether users who are interested in products/services advertised in our online offering through affiliate links. For this, the affiliate links are supplemented by certain values that are part of the link or set otherwise, e.g. in a cookie. The values include in particular the source website (referrer), time, an online identifier of the operator of the website on which the affiliate link was located, an online identifier of the respective offer, an online identifier of the user, as well as tracking specific values such as ad ID, affiliate ID, and categorisations.

The user IDs used by us are pseudonymous values. The identifiers themselves do not contain personal data such as names or email addresses. They only help us determine whether the same user who clicked on an affiliate link or was interested in an offer through our online offer, has signed a contract with a contractual partner. However, online identification is personal in so far as the partner company as well as we possess other user data in combination with it. Only then can the partner company tell us whether the user has taken advantage of the offer.

Among the affiliate systems we use are:

Google Analytics

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimisation, and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR), we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google"). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookies about the use of the online offer by the users are usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European privacy legislation (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offer and to provide us with further services related to the use of this online offer and the internet usage.

Google AdWords and conversion tracking

We use the services of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, ("Google") on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online service within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR).

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European privacy legislation (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

We use Google's online AdWords marketing tool "AdWords" to place ads on the Google advertising network (e.g., in search results, in videos, on websites, etc.) so that they are displayed to users who have a suspected interest in the ads. This allows us to more specifically display ads for and within our online offering so that we only present ads to users that potentially match their interests. “Remarketing” in this regard is targeted advertising of a product to a user in which he has previously shown an interest on a different website.

For this purpose, Google executes a code to set (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or code also known as “web beacons“ on our website or any other website that belongs to the Google Advertising Network.

With their help, the user is provided with an individual cookie, i.e. a small file is saved (instead of cookies, comparable technologies can also be used). In this file is noted which websites the user visited, in which content he is interested and what offers the user has clicked, as well as technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit time and other information on the use of the online offering.

Furthermore, we receive an individual "conversion cookie". The information obtained through the cookie is used by Google to generate conversion statistics for us. We only receive the anonymous total number of users who clicked on our ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. We do not receive any information that personally identifies users.

The data of the users are pseudonym processed within the Google advertising network. That means, Google does not store and process the name or email address of the users but links the cookie data to pseudonymous user profiles. From the perspective of Google, the ads are not managed and displayed to a specifically identified person, but to the cookie owner, regardless of who that cookie owner is. This does not apply if a user has explicitly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymisation. The information collected about users is transmitted to Google and stored on Google's servers in the United States.

For more information about Google's data usage, settings and withdrawal options, please read Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) and Google's ads settings options (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

 

Online presence in social media

We maintain an online presence within social networks and platforms in order to communicate with customers, prospects and active users as well as inform them about our services. When calling the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and their data privacy guidelines apply.

Unless otherwise stated in our privacy policy, we process personal data of users that communicate with us within social networks and platforms, e.g. Write posts on our online presence or send us messages.

 

Integration of services and content of third parties

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f. GDPR), we make use of content or services offered by third-party providers in order to provide their content and services to our users, such as include videos or fonts (collectively referred to as "content").

This always presupposes that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the users since they could not send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We endeavour to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. Third parties may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also referred to as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. The "pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website.

Share content via social media buttons

We do not use plugins from social networks on our website such as Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and Xing. Our content sharing buttons are implemented via so-called deep links, which only pass on data to the respective network operators when you use them.

Only when you click on such a button, various data are transmitted to the respective social network. This may include: the date and time of the visit to the site, the URL of the site on which the visitor is located, the URL of the site the visitor previously visited, the browser used, the operating system used and the IP address of the visitor.

If you are logged in parallel to the respective social network (Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, LinkedIn or Xing) while visiting our page, it is not excluded that the provider assigns the visit to your network account. If you click on a social media button (for example, clicking the "Like" button, submit a comment), this information is also transmitted directly from your browser to the respective social network and stored there if necessary. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the networks can be found in the privacy policies of Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and Xing.

 

Privacy policy in the application process

We process the applicant data only for the purpose and in the context of the application process in accordance with the legal requirements. The processing of the applicant data takes place in order to fulfil our (pre)contractual obligations in the context of the application process within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. b. GDPR Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR applies if the data processing e.g. is required for us in the context of legal proceedings (in Germany, Art. 26 BDSG applies additionally).

The application process requires applicants to provide us with the applicant data. The necessary applicant data are derived from the job descriptions and basically include the personal details, postal and contact addresses and the documents that belong to the application, such as cover letter, CV and certificates. In addition, applicants can voluntarily provide us with additional information.

By submitting the application to us, the applicants agree to the processing of their data for the purposes of the application process in accordance with nature and scope set forth in this privacy policy.

Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR are voluntarily communicated within the framework of the application procedure, their processing is additionally carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) lit. b GDPR (e.g., health information such as disability or ethnic origin). Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR are requested from applicants in the context of the application procedure, their processing is additionally carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR (for example health data, if necessary for the profession).

Applicants can send us their applications via email or by post. However, please note that emails are generally not sent in encrypted form and that applicants themselves must provide encryption. Therefore, we cannot take any responsibility for the transmission of the application between the sender and the reception on our server and therefore recommend to use the postal shipping.

The data provided by the applicants may be further processed by us in the event of a successful application for employment purposes. Otherwise, if the application for a job offer is not successful, the applicants' data will be deleted. Applicants' data will also be deleted if an application is withdrawn, which the applicants are entitled to at any time.

The deletion is subject to a legitimate revocation of the candidate, after the expiration of a period of six months, so that we can answer any follow-up questions to the application and meet our obligations under the Equal Treatment Act. Invoices for any reimbursement of travel expenses are archived in accordance with the tax regulations.

Disclosure of data

Basically, a transfer of your personal data without your express prior consent only takes place in the following cases:
 

• If it serves investigations of illegal use of the platform or is required to pursue legal claims, personal data may be shared with law enforcement agencies and third-party victims. Such transfer of data will be made only where there is specific evidence for illegal or abusive conduct. Data may further be shared where it serves the enforcement of terms of use or other contractual agreements. justETF is furthermore legally obliged to disclose certain information to certain public entities upon request. Such entities include law enforcement agencies that investigate administrative offences subject to fines and tax authorities.
  
  The disclosure of this data is based on our legitimate interest in the fight against abuse, the prosecution of criminal offences and the protection, assertion and enforcement of claims and that your rights and interests in the protection of your personal data do not predominate, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
   
• We rely on contracted external companies and external service providers ("contract processors") to provide our services. In such cases, personal data will be shared with these processors to allow them to be further processed. These processors are carefully selected and regularly reviewed by us to ensure your privacy is maintained. The processors may only use the data for the purposes specified by us and, in addition, contractually oblige us to treat your data exclusively in accordance with this privacy policy and German data protection laws.
   
• As our business evolves, the structure of justETF GmbH may change, for instance by a change in legal form or creation, acquisition or sale of subsidiaries, branches or parts of a company. In the course of such transactions, customer data will be transferred together with the relevant part of the company being transferred. In each case of a transfer of personal data to third parties to the extent described above, justETF will ensure that such transfer is made in accordance with this privacy policy and applicable data protection law.
  
  Any disclosure of personal data is justified by the fact that we have a legitimate interest in adapting our corporate form as required by economic and legal circumstances and do not outweigh your rights and interests in the protection of your personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

 

Change of purpose

Processing of your personal data for purposes other than those described will only take place if a legal provision allows this or if you have consented to the changed purpose of the data processing. In the event of further processing for purposes other than those for which the data was originally collected, we will inform you of these other purposes before further processing and provide you with all other relevant information.

 

Deletion of your data

We will delete or anonymise your personal data as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which we collected or used it in accordance with the preceding paragraphs. As a rule, we store your personal data for the duration of the use or contractual relationship via the website.

When you delete your user account, your profile will be completely and permanently deleted.

After the expiration of these periods the data will be deleted, as far as these data are not needed longer because of legal storage periods, for the criminal prosecution or for the protection, assertion or enforcement of legal claims. In this case, they will be locked. The data is then no longer available for further use.

justETF reserves the right to modify this privacy policy. The current version of the privacy policy is always accessible at www.justetf.com/dataprivacy.
