Privacy Policy of Investix

This website is operated by Investix Holding GmbH (hereinafter referred to as “Investix”). We respect your right to privacy. All personal data provided by you will be used for the purpose for which you provide it, and will be treated with the highest security standards and absolute confidentiality in strict accordance with data protection laws and applicable EU regulations. Your data will only be shared when necessary and only in accordance with the law, provided you have given your consent.

This statement only applies to our data protection practices in connection with this website. Some technical terms in this statement are explained at the end of this page.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679

The GDPR is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union. It also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU. The GDPR primarily aims to give citizens and residents control over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulations within the EU.

What is “personal data”?

Personal data is data that relates to a person who can be identified from the data itself or in combination with other information that Investix holds or is likely to hold. The term “personal data” therefore covers all information relating to an identifiable, living individual. This data can be stored in electronic form or in physical form.

Data Controller

A data controller is a person, company, or other organization that determines how personal data is used. Investix is a data controller. Our address is Investix Holding GmbH, Friedrichstraße 81, 10117 Berlin, Germany.

Obligations of Investix

Our obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation are as follows:

• Data must be obtained and processed lawfully.
• Data must be accurate, complete, and kept up to date, where necessary.
• Data must only be collected for one or more specific, legitimate, and lawful purposes.
• Data must not be processed in a manner incompatible with these purposes.
• Data must be adequate and relevant and not excessive for the purpose for which it was collected or further processed.
• Data must not be kept longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
• Appropriate security measures must be implemented to prevent unauthorized access or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of the data, particularly if the processing involves the transmission of data over a network and against any other unlawful processing methods. Investix applies the most suitable physical and technical measures, including employee training and awareness, and these are regularly reviewed.
• We are duty-bound to ensure that our customers do not suffer harm or hardship, such as the release of inaccurate information or the sharing of personal data with unauthorized parties.

Investix takes its obligations very seriously and addresses any misuse of customer information by its employees promptly and strictly. Any breach of confidentiality will be treated as a serious misconduct under disciplinary law and may result in sanctions up to and including dismissal.

How We Use Your Personal Data

Access Rights

Every individual has the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold. A request for disclosure of stored data must be made in writing and is free of charge. You can request disclosure from Investix by writing to info@investix.de. Your request should be as specific as possible to help us identify where the specific data is stored, and you must provide proof of your identity (e.g., a photocopy of your passport or driving license). A response to your access request will be provided as soon as possible and, in any case, within 40 days.

Certain data protection laws set out circumstances in which your right to access personal records may be restricted. This is necessary to balance the rights of the individual and certain important needs of civil society. For example, access to medical data may be limited in very specific situations where access to the data could affect the individual’s health and mental well-being. Your right to access investigation results or to view information about other individuals may also be restricted.

The Right to Rectify or Erase Data

Under section 13 b) of the General Data Protection Regulation, an individual has the right to have their personal data corrected if it is incorrect and the right to have the data erased if there is no legitimate reason for its retention. Investix strives to ensure that your personal data is accurate and only kept for as long as necessary. If you believe that your personal data stored by Investix is incorrect or should no longer be retained, you can notify Investix about which personal data and reasons for inaccuracy or why Investix must delete the data. This service is free. Write to Investix Asset Management GmbH, Friedrichstraße 81, 10117 Berlin, Germany.

The Right to Withdraw Consent for the Use of Personal Data

Under section 13 c) of the General Data Protection Regulation, an individual has the right to withdraw their consent for the use of their personal data at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the use of the data before the withdrawal.
