The browser used and, where applicable, your computer’s operating system as well as the name of your access provider.
Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. f) GDPR forms the legal basis for the data processing. Our legitimate interest derives from the purposes for collecting data listed above. We never use the collected data to draw conclusions about your person.
If you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit a) GDPR, we use your email address to regularly send you our newsletter. Only an email address need be provided to receive the newsletter.
The newsletter is sent via MailChimp, a newsletter distribution platform of the US-provider The Rocket Science Group LLC (”MailChimp”), 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
The newsletters contain a so-called “web-beacon”, i.e. a file the size of a pixel, which is retrieved from the MailChimp server when the newsletter is opened. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval are first collected. This information is used to technically improve the services on the basis of the technical data or the target groups and their reading behaviour on the basis of their retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or access times.
We trust in the reliability and the IT- and data security of MailChimp. MailChimp is certified under the US-EU privacy agreement ”Privacy Shield” and thereby undertakes to comply with EU data protection requirements. Moreover, we have concluded a ”Data-Processing-Agreement” with MailChimp. It is a contract in which MailChimp undertakes to protect the data of our users, to process it on our behalf in agreement with our data protection regulations and especially not to pass it on to third parties.
You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter, i.e. revoke your consent, at any time. Thereby, your consent to the dispatch of the newsletter via MailChimp and the statistical analyses will expire. A separate revocation of the dispatch via MailChimp or the statistical analysis is unfortunately not possible. You will find a link to cancel the newsletter at the end of each newsletter. Alternatively, you can also send an email to newsletter@lpa-ggv.com at any time to let us know that you wish to unsubscribe.
We provide a contact form on our website for any queries you may have. A valid email address must be provided in this regard so that we know who has sent the request and can respond. Further information may be provided on a voluntary basis.
Data processing for the purpose of making contact with us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit.a) GDPR on the basis of your voluntarily given consent.
We adhere to the principles of data minimization and storage limitation. We therefore only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the intended purpose or as the various storage periods provided for by law. After the respective purpose or expiry of these periods has ceased to apply, the corresponding data will be blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.
You have the right to receive information about your personal data stored by us at any time. You also have the right to have your personal data corrected, blocked or, apart from the prescribed data storage for business transactions, deleted, unless there is a statutory archiving obligation. If such an obligation exists, we will block your data on request.
Please contact our data protection officer in this regard.
If you apply to work with us, GGV continues to store the personal data provided by you within the context of the application process as a whole (in letters, CV, references, etc.) after the specific application process has ended. You consent to GGV using these data to contact you in the future as well and to continue the application process should you be considered for a different position.
If you have even provided ”special categories of personal data” pursuant to Article 9 of the GDPR (such as a photo from which it is possible to identify your ethnic origin, information regarding a status of severe disability, etc.) in your application letter or other documents submitted by you during the application process, your consent also applies to these data. However, GGV wishes to evaluate all candidates solely on the basis of their qualifications and therefore asks that such information be omitted from your application where possible.
This consent also applies to data regarding your qualifications and activities from generally accessible data sources (particularly professional social networks) which GGV lawfully collects in the context of the application process. Your data are not shared with third parties.
Your consent is voluntary and has no impact on your likelihood of success in the respective application process. You may withhold such consent without providing reasons without having to fear being put at a disadvantage. You may also withdraw your consent at any time; your data are then deleted without undue delay once the application process has been concluded.
Data processing for the purpose of conducting an application process is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit b) 2nd alternative GDPR and possibly also Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. a)GDPR on the basis of your voluntarily given consent.
We provide a contact form on our website for any communication you may wish to have with us with regard to events. A valid email address must be provided in this regard so that we know who has sent the request and can respond. Further information may be provided on a voluntary basis.
Data processing for the purpose of making contact with us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit a) GDPR on the basis of your voluntarily given consent.
The personal data we collect through use of the contact form are deleted once your query has been dealt with (in the case of participation, after the event has been held and follow-up activities have been completed).
Your personal data are not transferred to third parties other than for the purposes listed below.
If this is legally permitted and required pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit b) GDPR for the handling of contractual relationships with you.

We use the popular SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method during your website visit in combination with the highest encryption level supported by your browser. This is usually 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we revert instead to 128-bit v3 technology. A whole key or closed padlock icon in your browser’s lower status bar indicates whether individual pages of our website are transmitted in encrypted form.
In addition, we use suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction and unauthorised third-party access. We continuously improve our security measures in line with technological advancements.
