Registered users have the possibility to change or delete the data provided during registration at any time and to revoke or refuse their consent to data processing. In order to be able to serve our customers, we require additional personal information about the customers and their financial circumstances. These are based on the legal requirements applicable to our activities, in particular in the areas of financial services and money laundering, and include in particular information on knowledge and experience in the financial sector, financial circumstances such as assets, income and liabilities, investment objectives as well as information on the origin of the assets. Our processing of data is based exclusively on our legitimate interests in staying in contact and communicating with you as a potential customer or business partner, or in serving you as a customer or business partner.

If users leave comments on our Website, the time of their creation and the user name previously selected by the Website visitor are stored in addition to this information.
