3. General Information and Mandatory Disclosures (Allgemeine Hinweise und Pflichtinformationen)

Data Protection (Datenschutz)

The operators of these pages 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. When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. We point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Notice Regarding the Responsible Party (Verantwortliche Stelle)

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

Prosperus GmbH

Siegesstrasse 30

80802 Munich, Germany

Phone: +49 89 28 947 920

Email: info@pv-bess-assessor.com

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage Duration (Speicherdauer)

Unless a more specific storage period has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal bases for data processing on this

Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is required for the fulfilment of a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal bases applicable in each individual case are explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy. Note on data transfers to third countries that are not deemed secure under data protection law, as well as transfers to US companies that are not DPF-certified: We use, among other things, tools from companies based in third countries that are not deemed secure under data protection law, as well as US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. We point out that in third countries that are not deemed secure under data protection law, a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed. We note that the USA, as a safe third country, generally has a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. A data transfer to the USA is therefore permissible if the recipient holds a certification under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF) or has suitable additional guarantees. Information on transfers to third countries, including the data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data (Empfänger von personenbezogenen Daten)

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, the transfer of personal data to these external parties is also necessary. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in the transfer, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using data processors, we only pass on personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing (Widerruf Ihrer Einwilligung zur Datenverarbeitung)

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE, OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority (Beschwerderecht bei der zuständigen Aufsichtsbehörde)

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to Data Portability (Recht auf Datenübertragbarkeit)

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment 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 data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Access, Correction, and Deletion (Auskunft, Berichtigung und Löschung)

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing (Recht auf Einschränkung der Verarbeitung)

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases: If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion. If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of

deletion. If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

The use of contact data published within the framework of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

4. Data Collection on This Website (Datenerfassung auf dieser Website)

Cookies

Our websites use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser. Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services). Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to evaluate user behaviour or for advertising purposes. Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart function), or for optimising the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audiences) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. If consent for the

storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be revoked at any time. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted. If additional cookies and services are used on this website, you can find information about them in this privacy policy.

Server Log Files (Server-Log-Dateien)

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

Browser type and browser version

Operating system used

Referrer URL

Hostname of the accessing computer

Time of the server request

IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

Contact Form (Kontaktformular)

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Enquiry by Email, Phone, or Fax (Anfrage per E-Mail, Telefon oder Telefax)

If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your enquiry including all personal data arising from it (name, enquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time. The data you send to us via contact enquiries will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Comment Function on This Website (Kommentarfunktion auf dieser Website)

For the comment function on this page, in addition to your comment, information about the time the comment was created, your email address, and, if you do not post anonymously, the username you have chosen will also be stored.

Storage of the IP Address (Speicherung der IP-Adresse)

Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who post comments. Since we do not review comments on this website before they are published, we need this data in order to take action against the author in the event of legal violations such as insults or propaganda.

Subscribing to Comments (Abonnieren von Kommentaren)

As a user of the site, you can subscribe to comments after registering. You will receive a confirmation email to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided. You can cancel this function at any time via a link in the information emails. The data entered as part of subscribing to comments will be deleted in this case; however, if you have transmitted this data to us for other purposes and at another location (e.g., newsletter subscription), it will remain with us.

Storage Duration of Comments (Speicherdauer der Kommentare)

Comments and the associated data are stored and remain on this website until the commented content has been completely deleted or the comments must be deleted for legal reasons (e.g., offensive comments).

Legal Basis (Rechtsgrundlage)

The storage of comments is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke any consent you have given at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

Gravatar

We have integrated Gravatar on this website. The provider is Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA (hereinafter "Gravatar"). Gravatar is a tool that allows personal images (avatars) to be provided for users of our website. The avatars serve as visual representations of users and are displayed wherever a user interacts with the platform (e.g., in forums or chats). When a user interacts with the platform, their avatar is displayed based on the selection linked to their email address.

This gives the users' online presence a personal touch and makes identification easier, as the chosen image is associated with users when they are active online. When you comment or interact on our website and Gravatar is activated, the hash of the email address of the user using Gravatar (used as an ID) is processed by Gravatar. The use of Gravatar is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in an appealing presentation of its forums. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. For further details, please refer to the provider's privacy policy at https://automattic.com/privacy/. The company is certified under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF).

5. Social Media (Soziale Medien)

Social Media Elements with Shariff

This website uses elements from social media (e.g., Facebook, X, Instagram, Pinterest, XING, LinkedIn, Tumblr). You can usually recognise the social media elements by the respective social media logos. To ensure data protection on this website, we use these elements only together with the so-called "Shariff" solution. This application prevents the social media elements integrated on this website from transferring your personal data to the respective provider when you first enter the page. Only when you activate the respective social media element by clicking the associated button is a direct connection to the provider's server established (consent). Once you activate the social media element, the respective provider receives the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you are simultaneously logged into your respective social media account (e.g., Facebook), the respective provider can associate the visit to this website with your user account. Activating the plugin constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. This consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. The service is used to obtain the legally required consents for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
