3. General information and mandatory information

Data protection

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

Please note that the transmission of data over the internet, for example when communicating by email, can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information about the controller

The controller responsible for the data processing on this website is:

the native ventures UG (haftungsbeschränkt) i. G.
Paul-Ehrlich-Straße 7
79106 Freiburg im Breisgau
Germany

Email: golo.roden@thenativeventures.io

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data, for example names or email addresses.

Revoking your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time; an informal message by email is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing that took place before the revocation remains unaffected.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data are processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. You will find the legal basis of each processing operation in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).

If your personal data are processed for the purpose of direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such advertising; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct advertising (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. This right exists regardless of any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

SSL and TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the address line of your browser starting with “https://” and by the lock icon in the browser bar. If the encryption is active, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, correction, and deletion

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, the right to have these data corrected or deleted. For this and for any other questions about personal data, feel free to contact us at any time.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. To do so, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need some time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you can request that the processing be restricted.
• If your data were or are processed unlawfully, you can request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your data, but you need them to exercise, defend, or establish legal claims, you can request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.
• If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, your interests and ours must be weighed against each other. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you can request the restriction of processing.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – apart from being stored – may only be processed with your consent, to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a member state.

4. Data collection on this website

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser transmits to us automatically. These are:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

These data are not merged with other data sources. They are collected on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR: we have a legitimate interest in providing our website securely and without technical errors, and for this, the server log files must be recorded.

Web analytics with Pirsch

For web analytics, we use Pirsch Analytics. Pirsch Analytics is a cookie-free web analytics software that was developed according to the principle of privacy by design. To analyze visitor flows, Pirsch Analytics uses a hashing algorithm to generate a 16-digit number as the visitor ID when a page is requested. The input values are the IP address, the user agent, the date, and a random value (salt).

The data are processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of user behavior in order to improve our website.

Inquiries by email

If you contact us by email, we store and process your inquiry, including all personal data resulting from it (name, inquiry), in order to handle your request. We do not pass these data on without your consent.

The data are processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in handling the inquiries addressed to us effectively (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), if it was requested.

The data remain with us until you ask us to delete them, revoke your consent to their storage, or the purpose for storing them no longer applies, for example after your request has been handled. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.

5. Fonts

Locally hosted fonts

This website uses the Manrope font. It is stored on our own server and delivered from there; no connection to servers of Google or other third parties is established for the fonts.
