Privacy Policy

Who we are

The address of our website is: https://movingmountains.eu.

Thank you for your interest in our company. Data protection has a particularly high priority for the management of peak2peak consulting GmbH. In principle, it is possible to use the website of peak2peak consulting GmbH without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to peak2peak consulting GmbH. By means of this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. Furthermore, data subjects are informed about the rights to which they are entitled by means of this privacy policy.

As the controller, peak2peak consulting GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless,
Internet-based data transmissions generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, each data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, such as by telephone.

Definitions

Our privacy policy should be readable by the public as well as by our customers and business partners and – despite the many legal terms used – understandable.

Cookies

The websites of peak2peak consulting GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored 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 string of characters that can be used to assign websites and servers to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, peak2peak consulting GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the use of cookies. By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized in the interest of the user. As mentioned above, cookies allow us to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their login details each time they visit the website, because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in the 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 peak2peak consulting GmbH collects a series of general data and information every time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following can be recorded: (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 that are 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 that serves to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, peak2peak consulting GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required in order to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by peak2peak consulting GmbH on the one hand statistically and on the other hand with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

Subscribe to our newsletter

On the website of peak2peak consulting GmbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller when subscribing to the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.

peak2peak consulting GmbH informs interested parties, its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about the company's offers. In principle, the newsletter of our company can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address entered by a data subject for the first time for the newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to check whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.

When subscribing to the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later point in time and therefore serves to provide legal protection for the controller.

The personal data collected as part of a subscription to the newsletter will be used exclusively to send our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in this regard, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in technical conditions. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for the purpose of sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, a corresponding link can be found in each newsletter. Furthermore, it is possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller or to inform the controller of this in another way.

Newsletter Mailchimp

The newsletter is sent via the mailing service provider "MailChimp", a newsletter distribution platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. You can view the privacy policy of the shipping service provider here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/. The Rocket Science Group LLC d/b/a MailChimp is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with the European level of data protection.https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TO6hAAG&status=Active). The shipping service provider is used on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR and an order processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 (3) sentence 1 GDPR. The mailing service provider may use the data of the recipients in pseudonymous form, i.e. without assignment to a user, to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of the dispatch and the presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes. However, the mailing service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them themselves or to pass on the data to third parties.

Newsletter tracking

The newsletters of peak2peak consulting GmbH contain so-called tracking pixels. A web beacon is a miniature graphic that is embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. As a result, a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns can be carried out. On the basis of the embedded tracking pixel, peak2peak consulting GmbH can identify whether and when an e-mail has been opened by a data subject and which links in the e-mail have been accessed by the data subject.
Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters will be stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. If you unsubscribe from receiving the newsletter, peak2peak consulting GmbH will automatically interpret it as a revocation.

Contact us via the website

Due to legal regulations, the website of peak2peak consulting GmbH contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data provided by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data voluntarily provided by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or insofar as this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject. If the purpose of storage ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

  • The personal data has been collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.

  • The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.

Data protection for applications and in the application process

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits relevant application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions.. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests of the controller. Other legitimate interests in this sense are, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

Cooperation with processors, joint controllers and third parties

If, in the course of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors, joint controllers or third parties), transmit it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this is only done on the basis of a legal permission (e.g. if a transfer of the data to third parties, such as payment service providers, is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract), users have consented, a legal obligation provides for this or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.).

If we disclose, transmit or otherwise grant access to data to other companies in our group of companies, this is done in particular for administrative purposes as a legitimate interest and, beyond that, on a basis that complies with the legal requirements.

Transfers to third countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) or the Swiss Confederation) or this occurs in the context of the use of third-party services or disclosure or transfer of data to other persons or companies, this will only take place if it is necessary for the fulfilment of our (pre-)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, on the basis of a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we process or leave the data in a third country only if the legal requirements are met. This means that the processing is carried out, for example, on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised determination of a level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU (e.g. for the USA through the "Privacy Shield") or compliance with officially recognised special contractual obligations.

Changes and Updates to the Privacy Policy

We ask you to inform yourself regularly about the content of our privacy policy. We will amend the Privacy Policy as soon as the changes to the data processing we carry out make it necessary. We will inform you as soon as the changes require an act of cooperation on your part (e.g. consent) or another individual notification.

Business-related processing

In addition, we process
– Contract data (e.g. subject matter of the contract, duration, customer category).
– Payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history)
from our customers, interested parties and business partners for the purpose of providing contractual services, service and customer care, marketing, advertising and market research.

Coaching

We process the data of our clients and interested parties and other clients or contractual partners (uniformly referred to as "clients") in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR in order to provide them with our contractual or pre-contractual services. The data processed in this context, the type, scope and purpose and the necessity of their processing are determined by the underlying contractual relationship. The processed data generally includes inventory and master data of the clients (e.g., name, address, etc.), as well as contact data (e.g., e-mail address, telephone, etc.), contract data (e.g., services used, fees, names of contact persons, etc.) and payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history, etc.).

As part of our services, we may also process special categories of data in accordance with Art. 9 (1) GDPR, in particular information on the health of clients, possibly with reference to their sex life or sexual orientation, ethnic origin or religious or philosophical beliefs. For this purpose, if necessary, we obtain the explicit consent of the clients in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a), Art. 7, Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR and otherwise process the special categories of data for health care purposes on the basis of Art. 9 (2) (h) GDPR, § 22 (1) no. 1 b. BDSG.

If required for the performance of the contract or by law, we disclose or transmit the data of the clients in the context of communication with other professionals, third parties involved in the performance of the contract as necessary or typically involved, such as billing offices or comparable service providers, insofar as this serves the provision of our services in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, is required by law in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR, serves our interests or those of our clients in efficient and cost-effective healthcare as a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR or is necessary pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR. to protect the vital interests of clients or another natural person or within the framework of consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) and Art. 7 GDPR.

The data will be deleted when the data is no longer necessary for the fulfilment of contractual or legal duties of care and for dealing with any warranty and comparable obligations, whereby the necessity of storing the data is reviewed every three years; in all other respects, the statutory retention obligations apply.

Online presence on social media

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to be able to communicate with customers, interested parties and users who are active there and to inform them about our services.

We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the area of the European Union. This may result in risks for users, e.g. because it could make it more difficult to enforce users' rights. With regard to U.S. providers who are certified under the Privacy Shield, we would like to point out that they are thereby committing themselves to comply with the data protection standards of the EU.

Furthermore, user data is usually processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created from the user's usage behavior and resulting interests. In turn, the user profiles can be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on users' computers, in which the user's usage behaviour and interests are stored. Furthermore, data may also be stored in the usage profiles, regardless of the devices used by the users (in particular if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).

The processing of users' personal data is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests in effectively informing users and communicating with users in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If users are asked by the respective providers of the platforms for consent to the data processing described above, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (a) and Art. 7 GDPR.

For a detailed description of the respective processing and the options for objection (opt-out), we refer to the information provided by the providers linked below.

Also in the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we would like to point out that these can be most effectively asserted with the providers. Only the providers have access to the user's data and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. If you still need help, you can contact us.

Integration of third-party services and content

On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR), we use content or services offered by third-party providers within our online offering in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter referred to as "content").

This always assumes that the third-party providers of this content are aware of the IP address of the users, as without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to their browser. The IP address is therefore required for the display of this content. We only make every effort to use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. Third parties may also use pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. The "pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may contain, among other things, technical information on the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information on the use of our online offering, as well as be combined with such information from other sources.

To the best of our knowledge, user data is used by OpenStreetMap exclusively for the purpose of displaying the map functions and temporarily storing the selected settings. This data may include, in particular, IP addresses and location data of users, but these are not collected without their consent (usually as part of the settings of their mobile devices).

The data may be processed in the United States. For more information, please refer to OpenStreetMap's privacy policy: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy.

Data protection provisions on the application and use of Google AdWords

The controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an Internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in both Google's search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define certain keywords that will be used to display an ad in Google's search engine results only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed on websites relevant to the topic by means of an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.

The operating company of the services of Google AdWords is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to advertise our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and to display third-party advertising on our website.

If a data subject accesses our website via a Google advertisement, a so-called conversion cookie is stored by Google on the data subject's information technology system. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie expires after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain subpages, such as the shopping cart from an online shop system, have been accessed on our website. The conversion cookie allows both we and Google to understand whether a data subject who came to our website via an AdWords ad generated sales, i.e. completed or abandoned a purchase of goods.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to compile visitor statistics for our website. These visitor statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who have been referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify the data subject.

The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Each time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the data subject's information technology system. In addition, a cookie that has already been set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must access the www.google.de/settings/ads link from each of the internet browsers he or she uses and make the desired settings there.

Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in 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 a party, as is the case, for example, in the case of processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary for the purposes of a legitimate interest pursued by our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our 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 expiry of the period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the performance of the contract or the initiation of the contract.

Legal or contractual requirements 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 would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). In order to conclude a contract, it may sometimes be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with him/her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before the data subject provides personal data, 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 by contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.

Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
