Data protection

Privacy / Datenschutz

Information about the processing of personal data when this website is used.

Controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Meyer Beteiligungs UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Im Achterkamp 6b, 28355 Bremen, Germany, represented by Managing Director Ove Meyer. You may contact us by telephone at +49 175 1171807 or by email at contact@blackswan-advisors.com.

Website access and server logs

When you access this website, technical information may be processed automatically to deliver the requested content and maintain the security and stability of the service. This may include the IP address, date and time of access, requested resource, referrer URL, browser and device information, operating system, and status or volume of the data transfer. Processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interests are the secure, reliable, and efficient provision of the website, error analysis, and protection against misuse. Log data is retained only for as long as it is required for these purposes or to comply with legal obligations and is then deleted or anonymized.

Hosting and service providers

The website may be delivered using infrastructure and content-delivery services provided by OpenAI, L.L.C. and Cloudflare, Inc. These providers may process technical access data on our behalf where this is necessary to host, secure, and deliver the website. Processing may take place outside the European Economic Area. Where required, appropriate safeguards are used for international transfers, including an applicable adequacy decision or the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Service providers receive data only to the extent necessary for the relevant technical purpose and subject to contractual and statutory obligations.

Contact by email or telephone

If you contact us, we process the information you provide, including your contact details and the content of your communication, in order to respond to your inquiry and manage any subsequent communication. Depending on the subject, processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for steps requested prior to entering into a contract or on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for our legitimate interest in handling business communications. Where processing is required by law, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR applies. Information is retained only as long as necessary for the inquiry, an engagement, or applicable statutory retention and documentation obligations.

Google Analytics

With your consent, this website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided for users in the European Economic Area by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics helps us understand which pages are visited and how visitors use the website. The service may process information about page views and interactions, approximate location, browser and device characteristics, referrer information, and identifiers stored in first-party cookies. We have disabled Google signals and advertising-personalization features. Google Analytics is not loaded and no analytics cookies are set unless you select “Accept analytics.” The legal basis is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and, where applicable, Section 25(1) TDDDG.

Your analytics choice

Your choice is stored locally in your browser so that the website can remember it. You can decline without any disadvantage. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time with effect for the future by selecting “Cookie settings” in the footer. If you withdraw consent, the website stops Analytics and removes the Google Analytics cookies accessible to it. Your choice applies to this browser and may need to be made again if you delete browser storage or use a different device or browser.

Recipients and transfers

Personal data is disclosed only where this is necessary for the purposes described above, where we are legally required to do so, or where you have consented. Potential recipients include carefully selected hosting, IT, communications, analytics, and security service providers acting under appropriate contractual arrangements. In connection with Google Analytics, data may also be processed by Google group companies and service providers, including in the United States. Where required, transfers are based on an applicable adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

Retention

Google Analytics event-level data is configured for the shortest available retention period for this property. Consent and Analytics cookies remain in your browser only for their configured duration or until you withdraw consent or delete them. Other personal data is retained only for as long as it is needed for the respective purpose. When the purpose no longer applies, data is deleted unless statutory commercial, tax, corporate, or evidentiary obligations require continued storage. Data required for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims may be retained for the applicable limitation period.

Your rights

Subject to the statutory conditions, you have the right to request access to your personal data, rectification of inaccurate data, erasure, restriction of processing, and data portability. You may object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data-protection supervisory authority.

Supervisory authority

The supervisory authority responsible for private-sector organizations based in Bremen is: Der Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit der Freien Hansestadt Bremen, Georgstraße 122–124, 27570 Bremerhaven, Germany; telephone +49 421 361 2010 or +49 471 596 2010; email office@datenschutz.bremen.de. You may also contact another competent supervisory authority, particularly in the EU Member State of your habitual residence or place of work.

Security and updates

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. Internet-based communication cannot, however, be guaranteed to be completely secure. We may update this privacy notice when the website, our processing activities, or the applicable legal requirements change. The version published on this page is the current version.
