5.1.   Processing of Personal Data with Informational Use of our Website

5.1.1 IP-Address and other Data

At informative call of the website (viewing), without having to go for e.g. registering the newsletter or providing us with information in any other way, only personal data transmitted by your web browser to our server will be charged. When looking at the website, only the following, technically necessary data is collected to enable the display of our website and to ensure stability and security:

-          IP-address

The aforementioned data is stored on our servers or our webhosting provider. This data is not stored together with other personal data of yours. Furthermore, this data is not evaluated for marketing purposes.

The collection and storage of the above-mentioned data is necessary to enable the presentation of our website on your device. Storage in server log files serves to ensure the functionality and optimization of our website as well as to ensure the security of our information technology systems. We may collect and use this information beyond the end of a usage process, as appropriate, after weighing your fundamental rights and our interests. In doing so, we will take into account the currently prevailing risk potential for our website.

For the above purposes, we have a legitimate interest in the processing of data, which is why we are entitled to collect, store and use this data (§ 15 (1) TMG, article 6 (1) (f) GDPR). If these legitimate purposes cease to exist, the data will be deleted. A contradiction possibility of the user does not exist for the duration of the utilization process.

The user may object to the use of the data beyond the usage process at any time. In this case, the Provider no longer processes the data unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the user, or the processing is for the purpose of enforcing, pursuing or defending legal claims.

5.1.2. Coo­kies

When users visit our website, one or more cookies are stored on their computers. A cookie is a small file that contains a specific string and uniquely identifies your browser. With the help of cookies, we improve the comfort and quality of our service by storing user preferences. We use cookies exclusively for controlling the selective offers of the website. By law, we are only able to unlock certain parts of our website offerings for users, according to their nationality and their status as institutional or private users. Accordingly, the user has when calling the website information to make "I'm from" and "I am". This information becomes part of our cookies. The user is therefore asked when calling the website in addition, if he agrees to the use of these cookies. The cookies contain no personal data. Cookies do not harm users' computers and contain no viruses.

We are entitled to use these cookies (§ 15 Abs. 3 TMG). We cannot activate our website for you if the above-mentioned information is not provided on entering the website or if the information does not permit activation (for example, if no consent is given for the use of the cookies). A use of our website offer without cookies is therefore not possible. Our cookies are valid for 90 days so that you do not have to repeatedly make the same entries when you visit our website repeatedly. You can delete cookies from your computer's hard drive at any time using the privacy features of your browser. In this case, the usability of the offer would be limited.

5.2.1. Publications

With our publications, we inform you on request and only after approval by e-mail about specialist topics, about us and our offers.

In order to ensure a consensual publication of a publication, we use the so-called double-opt-in procedure. In the course of this, the potential recipient can be included in a distribution list with the recipients of the publications. Afterwards, the user receives a confirmation e-mail to confirm the application legally. Only when the acknowledgment is made, the address is actively included in the distribution list.

By registering for one or more publications, we additionally and separately store your personal data for purely informative use (see above)

-          E-mail-Address

You can revoke your consent to the storage of this data and its use for sending the newsletter at any time. The cancellation can be made by e-mail to info@xaia.com or letter to our contact details above. In case of a cancellation, your data will be deleted by us.

If you use the contact form or the given e-mail addresses on our website to contact us, we will use the personal data provided in your e-mail (usually name and surname, address, telephone number and e-mail address) for a reply and to process your requests. We understand your requests as consent to use the data for these purposes. Upon fulfilment of the stated purposes, we will delete the data or internally block it for further use, unless the processing of the data is considered for other permissible reasons (for example, you consent to the further use of the data). You also have the right to revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing based on the consent to revocation.

5.3.    Other Contacting outside of Business Relationships / Data Usage in Connection with a Business Relationship

In the same way as contacting you by e-mail (see paragraph 5.2.2. above), we also use the data we receive from other communications with you, e.g. as a consequence of:

- Personal encounters,
- Chat contacts (e.g. via Bloomberg),
- email traffic,
- Events,
- Telephone inquiries

For example, if you give us e.g. in the context of events your business card of yours, we understand this as your consent that we may contact you to establish a business relationship.

We also collect and process personally identifiable information from publicly available sources (such as the press, the media, the Internet) or data that we have legitimately received from third parties.

In addition, we use the personal information we receive from or in connection with the conduct of a business relationship from our business partners or from third parties.

For example, we solicit consent to the use of contact information for the distribution of product information, marketing materials, and other useful information about us, our services, or other market or product-related information. These consents are given by the persons concerned only on a voluntary basis and can be revoked at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the legality of the data processed on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

Due to our status as a regulated institution supervised by the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) and the Central Bank of the Federal Republic of Germany (Deutsche Bundesbank), we are subject to numerous legal requirements, such as the German Banking Act (KWG), the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG), the Money Laundering Act (GwG) and other relevant laws to use the personal information of our business partners and other data subjects. We need the data, e.g. for the following purposes: combating market abuse and insider trading, operational risk management, money laundering and fraud prevention, law enforcement, complaints management.

The periods for storage in the German Commercial Code (HGB), the German Tax Code (AO), the German Banking Act (KWG), the Money Laundering Act (GwG) and the Securities Trading Act (WpHG) are up to ten years. It may happen that personal data are kept for more than ten years for the time in which claims can be asserted against our company (statutory limitation periods of 3 or up to 30 years).
