Various personal data is collected when you use this website. Personal data is information that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we us it. It also explains how and why this is done.
Please note that transmitting data over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) can create security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to completely protect data against access by third parties.

The controller responsible for processing data on this website is:

fund2seed GmbH
Frankenhöhe 40

55288 Spiesheim

Germany

Email: info“at“f2s.lu

‘Controller‘ refers to the natural or legal person who determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names and email addresses).

Revocation of your consent for data processing

Many data processing operations can only be carried out with your express consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. Simply send us an informal email to do so. The legality of any data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected.
RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE COLLECTION OF DATA IN SPECIAL CASES AND TO DIRECT ADVERTISING (ART. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. You can find the respective legal basis on which processing is based in this privacy policy. If you lodge an objection, we will no longer process the personal data in question, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the processing serves the purpose of establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for these purposes; this also applies to profiling associated with direct marketing. Once you have objected, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Article 21 (2) GDPR).

Right to file a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority

Data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the event of violations of GDPR, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged violation. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive any data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or to fulfil a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, either from us or from a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be possible if it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the address line of the browser changing from ‘http://’ to ‘https://’, and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, third parties will be unable to read the data you transmit to us.

Information, blocking, erasure and correction

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, including its origin, recipients, and the purpose of its processing. You also have the right to request the blocking or deletion of this data at any time, if necessary. If you have any further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in this website’s legal notice.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request restrictions on the processing of your personal data. To do so, please contact us at any time using the details provided in this website’s legal notice. You can exercise this right in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data that we hold about you, please allow time for us to verify this. You have the right to request the processing of your personal data be restricted during this time.
If your personal data has been, or continues to be, processed unlawfully, you can request that processing be restricted instead of erasure.

If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the purposes of exercising, defending, or asserting legal claims, you have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.

If you have filed an objection in accordance with Article 21 (1) GDPR, your interests and ours must be weighed against each other. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, apart from storage, it may only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

Objection to promotional emails

We object to the use of our contact details published as part of our legal notice obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited promotional material. The website operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action over being sent unsolicited promotional information, such as spam emails.
