Privacy Policy
We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection has a particularly high priority for the management of Lift2Market. The use of the Lift2Market website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, always takes place in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Lift2Market. Through this privacy policy, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed about their rights through this privacy policy.
Lift2Market, as the controller responsible for processing, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of the personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, it is open to any data subject to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.
1. Definitions
The privacy policy of Lift2Market is based on the terms used by the European directives and regulations issuer when the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was issued. Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for both the public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.
In this privacy policy, we use, among other things, the following terms:
a) Personal data Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data subject Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
c) Processing Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.
d) Restriction of processing Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
e) Profiling Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.
f) Pseudonymization Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or data controller Controller or data controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
h) Processor Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.
j) Third party Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
k) Consent Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

Cookies
The websites of Lift2Market use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved on a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, Lift2Market can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
With a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. As mentioned earlier, cookies allow us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter their access data every time they visit the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
Collection of General Data and Information
The website of Lift2Market collects a series of general data and information with each call-up of the website by a data subject or an automated system. These general data and information are stored in the server log files. The data that may be collected includes (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
Lift2Market does not draw any conclusions about the data subject when using this general data and information. Instead, this information is needed (1) to deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) to optimize the contents of our website and the advertising for it, (3) to ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated by Lift2Market both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
Contact Option via the Website
The website of Lift2Market contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our company, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the data controller responsible for processing via email or a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data voluntarily provided by a data subject to the data controller responsible for processing is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data
The data controller responsible for processing processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or as required by the European legislator or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the data controller responsible for processing is subject.
When the storage purpose is no longer applicable or when a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.
Rights of the Data Subject
a) Right to Confirmation Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the data controller as to whether or not personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time.
b) Right to Information Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the data controller, at any time and free of charge, information about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject the right to information about the following:
the purposes of the processing
the categories of personal data processed
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, particularly recipients in third countries or international organizations
if possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
the existence of the right to request rectification or erasure of personal data concerning them or restriction of processing by the controller or to object to such processing
the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
if the personal data is not collected from the data subject: all available information about the source of the data
the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject
Furthermore, the data subject has the right to information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed about the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to information, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time.
c) Right to Rectification Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary statement. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time.
d) Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten) Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to demand from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay if one of the following grounds applies and the processing is not necessary:
The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
The personal data has been unlawfully processed.
The erasure of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR.
e) Right to Restriction of Processing Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request from the controller the restriction of processing if one of the following conditions applies:
The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful, and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by Lift2Market, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Lift2Market will arrange the restriction of processing.
f) Right to Data Portability Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible, and provided this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject can contact an employee of Lift2Market at any time.
g) Right to Object Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time, to the processing of personal data concerning them, which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. Lift2Market will no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. If Lift2Market processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Lift2Market processing for direct marketing purposes, Lift2Market will no longer process the personal data for these purposes. In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them by Lift2Market for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest. To exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact any employee of Lift2Market or another employee. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
h) Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the data controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject's explicit consent. If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent, Lift2Market shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision. If the data subject wishes to exercise rights concerning automated decision-making, they may at any time contact an employee of the controller.
i) Right to Withdraw Consent to Data Protection Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, they may at any time contact an employee of the controller.
8. Data Protection in Applications and Application Procedures
The data controller collects and processes personal data from applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case when an applicant submits relevant application documents electronically, for example, via email or through a web form on the website of the data controller. If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the data controller, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, unless deletion is opposed by other legitimate interests of the data controller. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, the obligation to provide evidence in a proceeding under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
Legal Basis of Processing
Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the data controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
Legitimate Interests in Processing Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.
Duration for Which the Personal Data Will Be Stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of the retention period, the respective data will be routinely deleted, provided they are no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
Legal or Contractual Provisions for the Provision of Personal Data; Necessity for the Conclusion of the Contract; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide the Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Non-Provision
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with them. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
Existence of Automated Decision-Making
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
