Data Protection at FCH Finance City Hamburg GmbH

FCH Finance City Hamburg GmbH operates the website www.finance-city.hamburg.

Under the binding provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we are required to inform you about the following matters when you use our website.

I. Collection and Processing of Personal Data When Visiting This Website

1. Personal Data

Personal data within the meaning of Article 4 GDPR means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, for example a name, address, email address or date of birth. Information about your use of this website may also constitute personal data if it can be used to identify you.

2. Scope of the Processing of Personal Data

(1) As a general rule, we process personal data only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. When you access our website, general information is automatically stored in a log file.

The following data is temporarily stored: your IP address, the name of the file accessed, the date and time of access, a description of the type of web browser used, the amount of data transferred and a message indicating whether the request was successful. Such data is also generated when accessing any other website on the internet and is therefore not a specific feature of this website. The data is stored to safeguard the integrity of the website (for example, to prevent or investigate spam or DDoS attacks). The data is evaluated exclusively for statistical purposes and in anonymised form. No additional personal data about you is stored.

We delete the personal data referred to above after 30 days.

The legal basis for storing the data and log files is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. As the collection of this data is strictly necessary for the operation of the website, you cannot object to this processing.

(2) We also use cookies to provide a functional website.

a) What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored locally in the memory or on the hard drive of your device. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier that enables websites and servers to associate the cookie with the specific web browser in which it was stored.

This enables visited websites to distinguish the browser of the data subject from other internet browsers. Cookies do not identify you as a person; only the cookie itself is identified on your device.

(b) Types of cookies

There are generally different types of cookies, namely technically necessary cookies and optional cookies. Optional cookies may, for example, be used to make a website more user-friendly or to display advertising tailored to your interests.

We only use technically necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for the functionality of our website; without them, the website would only be usable to a limited extent. Usage data collected through technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles.

c) Legal basis

Technically necessary cookies are considered “strictly necessary” cookies within the meaning of the ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC and do not require consent. The legal basis for their use is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest).

II. Controller and Your Rights as a Data Subject

1. Controller

FCH Finance City Hamburg GmbH is the controller within the meaning of the GDPR, i.e. the legal entity that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.

  • Pursuant to Article 7(3) GDPR, you may withdraw consent previously granted to us at any time. As a result, we may no longer continue the processing based on that consent in the future.
  • Pursuant to Article 77 GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. As a rule, you may contact the supervisory authority at your habitual residence, your place of work or the registered office of our company.

Right to Object

Where your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR or Article 6(1)(e) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Article 21 GDPR.

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. In the case of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for such purposes.

(2) Without prejudice to these rights and to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority at any time, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes data protection law (Article 77 GDPR).

The supervisory authority responsible for us is the Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.
