Privacy Notice

Elstner Analytics GmbH (EA) respects the privacy of every individual whose personal information it handles. This privacy notice sets out how EA collects, stores and uses that personal information and outlines our approach to data and its protection.

https://elstner.dev/ is owned and operated by EA. EA will be a data controller in respect of personal data that is collected through this website or that you otherwise provide to us. A data controller is responsible for deciding the ways in which and purposes for which personal data about you is processed. We may process your personal data ourselves or through others acting as data processors on our behalf.

What information may we process about you?

Business contacts

As a part of its day to day operations EA meets large numbers of business contacts at meetings and receives emails about business opportunities. It is likely to receive and store personal information on those it meets.

If you have had contact with EA, for example through emailing us or meeting a member of the team, it is likely that we will want to make a note of that email or meeting and may store limited amounts of personal information relating to you, such as your name, job title, employer organisation and contact details.

We will collect and store this personal information for the purposes of:

• maintaining a record of contacts;
• providing periodic business updates;
• drawing to your attention business opportunities which may be of mutual benefit to us as described below; and
• organising meetings with you.

The personal information we hold about business contacts may be shared with: - professional advisors; and/or - companies who hold or ‘process’ personal information on our behalf, or cloud-based products.

The legal basis for collecting and storing such personal information about you is that such processing is necessary for our legitimate interests in running and promoting our business.

Suppliers and professional advisors

As a part of its day to day operations EA is likely to receive and store personal information to enable it to buy office and other supplies or engage with professional advisors.

If you are a supplier or professional advisor to EA, we will capture and use limited amounts of personal information relating to you, including your name, job title, qualifications, employer organisation and contact details. We will store this personal information for the purposes of administering and maintaining records of services or advice we have received and commissioning further services.

The personal information we hold about suppliers and professional advisors may be shared with:

• other professional advisors;
• companies who hold or ‘process’ personal information on our behalf, or cloud-based products.

We store and process information in this way because it is necessary to:

• perform a contract to which you are likely to be a party;
• comply with a legal or regulatory obligation; and/or
• protect our legitimate interests in running and promoting our business.

Personal data collected during visits to our website

When you interact with our digital platforms, we may also automatically collect the following information about your visit:

• how you have reached our digital platform and the internet protocol (IP) address you have used;
• your browser type, versions and plug-ins, and your operating system;
• your journey through our digital platform, including which links you click on and any
• searches you made, how long you stayed on a page, and other page interaction information;
• what content you like or share; and
• information collected in any forms you complete.

This is primarily to help us better understand how people use our digital platforms to enable us to create better content and more relevant communications

Mandatory provision of information

In some cases, we will not be able to deal with you further without receiving certain information – e.g. ‘Know Your Customer’ information. In such circumstances we will explain this to you including the possible consequences of not providing particular information. In any event EA will only process the personal information you provide to TSMC for the purposes listed above.

Sensitive or special category personal data

EA avoids wherever possible receiving information on race, religion, political views and your mental or physical health.

International transfers of personal information

TSMC is based in Europe and does not anticipate transferring your personal data outside the EEA. Where we transfer personal information to other third parties outside of the EEA, we will ensure that those transfers take place in accordance with the Data Protection Laws, including by entering into data transfer agreements with recipients. If you would like more information about how your personal information may be transferred, please contact us using the information below.

Keeping you informed

We wish to build a long-term relationship with you and would like to use personal information that we hold to send you updates about our business, activities and opportunities to work together. We would usually do this by email. You can opt out of receiving updates at any time by contacting us at hello@elstner.dev

Retention of personal information

The period for which EA will retain personal information will vary depending on the purposes that it was collected for, as well as the requirements of any applicable law or regulation.

Accuracy of information

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please let us know if your personal data which we hold changes during your relationship with us.

Your rights in relation to your information

Under data protection law, you have rights including:

• Your right of access - You have the right to ask us for copies of your personal information.
• Your right to rectification - You have the right to ask us to rectify personal information you think is inaccurate. You also have the right to ask us to complete information you think is incomplete.
• Your right to erasure - You have the right to ask us to erase your personal information in certain circumstances.
• Your right to restriction of processing - You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances.

You also have the right to make a complaint at any time to a supervisory authority for data protection issues.

Fees

You will not usually have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is manifestly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

Right to withdraw consent

In the limited circumstances where we may require your consent to process your personal data for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact us using the contact details listed below. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose(s) to which your originally consented unless we now have an alternative legal basis for doing so.

Security

Whilst we will take all reasonable steps to protect the confidentiality and security of your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any that you disclose online for example when it is sent by email. You accept the inherent security risks of providing information online over the Internet and will not hold TSMC responsible for any breach of security unless this is due to TSMC’s negligence or wilful default.

Please note that our website and other digital platforms may contain links to third party websites or digital platforms which are provided for your convenience. We are only responsible for the privacy practices and security of our own digital platforms. We recommend that you check the privacy and security policies and procedures of each and every other website or digital platform that you visit.

Changes to EA’s Privacy Notice

Our practices with respect to personal data may vary from time to time and we may update this Privacy Notice at any time. The latest version of this Privacy Notice will be made available to you on our website. If we intend to process your personal data for a purpose other than the purposes referred to above, we will provide you with additional information about that purpose.
