At this juncture we want to inform you about our philosophy when handling the personal data that you provide when visiting our website as well as provide a few basic notes on data protection. It is our declared goal and aim to protect your personal data on the internet in both a professional and serious manner as we also do in all other communication methods with you. Protecting your private sphere and your personal data is of the highest importance to us. For this reason compliance with German data protection laws and rules is both an obligation and part of our identity. It goes without saying that the people we employ are obliged to maintain confidentiality pursuant to Section 5 of the Federal Data Protection Act and are subject to the special duty of confidentiality under banking secrecy.

1. The majority of the public information published on the internet is available for use without providing personal data. You can use these pages anonymously. We only save and process statistical information on these pages (pages visited, number of visits, duration of visit etc.) to optimise our website.

2. If personal data is requested in certain areas that you have selected, e.g. product queries, subscriptions, information queries, you yourself can decide whether to provide it or prefer to remain anonymous. If you decide to give us your data we save it on servers that have special protection measures in the Federal Republic of Germany in order to execute your orders and collect statistics anonymously (see above). We also use the data for the purpose stated in the relevant entry field. The data is not passed on to people or companies outside VATAS Anlageberatung GmbH without your permission. It is only transferred to third-parties, such as our cooperation partners Bausparkasse Wüstenrot, Sal Oppenheim, if you have been informed, have agreed to it or we are obliged to do so by law. If we appoint external service providers to process the data we ensure that they have been carefully selected and checked using the statutory requirements and are of course obliged to comply with the statutory data protection provisions and banking secrecy. We do not pass on data to companies outside VATAS Anlageberatung GmbH for the purposes of advertising.

3. Access to closed user groups (e.g. customer account) is only possible using a password for specially authorised and registered customers of VATAS Anlageberatung GmbH.

4. The articles in our discussion forums are accessible to all. You should carefully check your articles before publication to ensure they do not contain any information that is not appropriate for public viewing. You must expect your articles to be located by search engines and they will therefore be accessible around the world without targeted access to our website. It is frequently not possible to delete or modify such entries with foreign operators. Your email address is only saved by us for the purposes of making enquiries. It is not published in the discussion forum unless you freely enter it into the text.

5. We wish to point out that our website may contain links to websites operated by others. We have no influence on how they handle your data.

6. It goes without saying that you will receive information on the personal data that we have saved on request and free of charge. At any time you have the right to withdraw your consent for the future saving, processing and use of your data.
