Cookies that are required for the performance of the electronic communications transaction or to provide certain functions you want to use (e.g. the shopping cart function), are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error free and optimised provision of the operator’s services. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. a consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO; the consent can be revoked at any time. If other cookies (e.g. cookies for the analysis of your browsing patterns) should be stored, they are addressed separately in this Data Protection Declaration.
Provision of our statutory / business services
We process the data of our members, interested parties, clients or other persons according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. DSGVO, insofar as we offer them contractual services or act within the framework of an existing business relationship, e.g. with members, or ourselves are recipients of services. For data processing that goes beyond the fulfilment of statutory and/or business tasks or the initiation and execution of contracts, we refer to the safeguarding of legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) DS-GVO, unless we have obtained your express consent for this purpose (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) DS-GVO).
The processing of this data as well as the type, scope, purpose and necessity of its processing is determined by the underlying contractual relationship. This includes personal and master data (e.g. name, address), contact data (e.g. e-mail address, telephone), contract data and, if required for the contractual relationship, payment data (e.g. bank details).
We delete data that is no longer required for the performance of our statutory and business purposes. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Double-Opt-In and Protocol: The registration to our newsletter takes place in a so-called Double-Opt-In procedure. This means that you will receive an e-mail after your registration in which you will be asked to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with external e-mail addresses. The registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation time, as well as the IP address. Likewise the changes of your data stored with the service provider are recorded.
Among other things, MailChimp is a service that can be deployed to organise and analyse the sending of newsletters. Whenever you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to a newsletter (e.g. your e-mail address), the information is stored on MailChimp servers in the United States. MailChimp is in possession of a certification that is in compliance with the „EU-US-Privacy-Shield.“ The „Privacy-Shield“ is a compact between the European Union (EU) and the United States of America (USA) that aims to warrant the compliance with European data protection standards in the United States.
This service provider is deployed on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO and a data-processing-agreement pursuant to Art. 28 (3) sentence 1 DSGVO.
Data processing is based on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO and a data-processing-agreement pursuant to Art. 28 (3) sentence 1 DSGVO or of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

We have online presences on the following social media platforms:
– Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/valuebalancing/
– LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/value-balancing/
In this respect, these social media platforms are also responsible for data processing, over which we have only limited influence. We would therefore like to point out that you use these social media sites and their functions under your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating).
Unless otherwise stated in our data protection declaration, we process the data of users who communicate with us within social networks and platforms, e.g. post articles on our online presence or send us messages. The data you enter yourself on our social media pages, such as comments, videos, pictures, likes, public messages, etc. are published by the social media platform and used or processed by us only for the information of users and communication with them. We also reserve the right to delete content if this should be necessary. We may share your content on our site if this is a function of the social media platform and communicate with you via the social media platform. The processing of users’ personal data is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests in effective user information and communication with users in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO. If the users are requested by the respective providers of the platforms to consent to the aforementioned data processing, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a., Art. 7 DSGVO.
Data processing by the operator of the social media platform: When calling up the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and the data processing guidelines of their respective operators apply. In this context it is pointed out that via these social networks and platforms, which are US providers, the data can be processed outside the area of the European Union. However, if US providers are certified under the Privacy Shield, they undertake to comply with the data protection standards of the EU. Facebook and LinkedIn have submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield and thus offer a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law.
When you visit our Facebook page, Facebook collects, among other things, your IP address and other information that is available on your PC in the form of cookies. This information is used to provide us, as operators of Facebook pages, with statistical information about the use of the Facebook page. Your data is usually also processed by social networks and platforms for market research and advertising purposes. The operators of the respective social media platform, in particular Facebook, use web tracking methods. Web tracking can also take place regardless of whether you are logged in or registered with the social media platform. For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the respective social networks and platforms, please refer directly to the data protection information of the respective social networks and platforms. There you will also find information about contact possibilities to the operators as well as about the setting possibilities for the protection of privacy as a user.

On the website we link to the online presence of Facebook and LinkedIn. Our icon (/Button/Link) acts as an external link so that no information is transferred to Facebook without clicking on the icon. If the user clicks on the icon, he will be redirected to the website of the respective provider. The URL of the current page is passed as a parameter. We have no influence on whether or how Facebook and LinkedIn may use this data for evaluation. If you do not want Facebook and LinkedIn to collect information about the use of our websites, please do not click on the button mentioned.
9. Communication via Messenger (WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger)
In addition to telephone or e-mail, we also use Messenger services such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger for communication purposes and offer you the opportunity to contact us via these Messenger services. WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger are possible ways for you to contact us, but you don’t have to use them in addition to other ways (phone, email).
WhatsApp (WhatsApp Inc. WhatsApp Legal 1601 Willow Road Menlo Park, California 94025, USA) and Facebook Messenger (Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland) are both U.S. providers who may transfer the information you provide to the United States. However, WhatsApp and Facebook are certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and therefore warrant to comply with European data protection laws.
WhatsApp and Facebook also warrant that the communication content (i.e., the content of your message and/or attached images) will be encrypted end-to-end. This means that the content of the messages is not viewable, not even by these providers themselves. However, a current version of Messenger with activated encryption should always be used to ensure the encryption of the message content.
If neither WhatsApp nor Facebook view the content, however, both can learn that when you are communicating with us and process technical information about the device you are using, depending on the settings of the device and location information (so-called metadata). With the exception of encrypted content, your data may be transmitted within the Facebook group of companies, in particular, for the purpose of optimizing the respective services and for security purposes. You should also assume that your data processed by WhatsApp and Facebook can be used for marketing purposes or to display advertisements tailored to users, at least, as long as you have not objected.
If we ask for your consent before communicating with you via WhatsApp or the Facebook Messenger, the legal basis for our processing of your data is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a. DSGVO. Otherwise, if we do not ask for your consent, and you contact us e.g. voluntarily via Messenger, we use WhatsApp and Facebook in relationship with our contractual partners and as part of the contract initiation as a contractual measure pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b. DSGVO and in the case of other interested parties and communication partners on the basis of our legitimate interests in fast and efficient communication and meeting the needs of our communication partners in communication via messengers pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO.
You can object to communication with us via WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger at any time and request us not to continue communication via the respective Messenger and to delete the communication content. In the case of subscribing to messages (also known as “broadcasts”) via WhatsApp, you may delete our corresponding telephone number from your contacts and request us to remove your contact from our directory. For ongoing individual requests or communications, you may also ask us not to continue communication through WhatsApp and to delete the communication content.
In the case of communication via Messenger, we will delete the WhatsApp or Facebook messages as soon as we can assume that we have answered any user information, if no reference to a previous conversation is to be expected, and if there are no legal obligations to store the deletion.
For more information about the purposes, types, and extent of processing of your information by WhatsApp and Facebook, as well as the rights and privacy settings related thereto, please see WhatsApp’s and Facebook’s privacy notices:
