Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Nutzung von Calendly als Terminierungstool
In order to simplify the scheduling of a customer and consultation meeting, we use the services of Calendly LLC, 1315 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30309, USA (“Calendly”) on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Calendly offers you an external platform to arrange and schedule appointments.

We have concluded a data protection agreement with Calendly with standard clauses, according to which Calendly processes the data received from us in accordance with the EU-wide level of data protection. The transmitted data will not be made accessible to third parties and will only be used for the agreement and the business relationship. For more information see Calendly’s privacy policy (english).
Use of Google Forms
We use Google forms (Google Forms) for our website. The service provider is the US company Google. For the European area, the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. Google processes your data in the USA, among other places. Google is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data from EU citizens to the USA. You can find more information at https://commission.europa.eu/document/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en.
If you select the “SUBMIT PITCH DECK” function, we store the data entered and collected on Google servers in Europe and the USA.
Google also uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Art. 46 (2) and (3) GDPR). Standard contractual clauses are templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data also complies with European data protection standards, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission.

Note on the controller
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is
Purpose Capital GmbH
Werinherstrasse 43
81541 Munich
Phone: +49 (0) 89 64957621
E-mail: info@purpose-capital.com
The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).
Storage period
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.
Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website

In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required to fulfill the contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Recipients of personal data

When using processors, we only pass on our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.
