    We process personal data based on one of the following legal grounds:

    • Permission.
    • Because of an agreement or in the run up to the conclusion of an agreement.
    • Legal obligation
    • In connection with a legitimate interest

    A controller may only process personal data if this can be based on one of the limitative enumerated legal grounds in the General Data Protection Regulation (AVG). The legal bases on which KONCENTRIQ relies are:

    • Permission: If we have requested your permission to process your personal data and you have given this permission, then you also have the right to withdraw this consent.
    • Agreement or in the run up to the conclusion of an agreement: If you give us an assignment to provide innovation or financing consultancy services, we process personal data if and insofar as this is necessary for the execution of the assignment.
    • Legal obligation: We only provide personal data to supervisors of investigative authorities if this is legally required. We will take measures in such cases that are reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal data is protected as good as possible.
    • Justified interest : We may also process personal data if we have a legitimate interest and do not therefore disproportionately infringe your privacy. For example, we use your contact information to invite you for seminars and events.
  • 8. Processors

    We may use service providers (processors) for the processing of your personal data that only process personal data in our order. We conclude a processor agreement with these processors that meets the requirements set by the General Data Protection Regulation (AVG).

    For example, we work with service providers that offer SaaS solutions (software as a service) or provide hosting services. Furthermore, there are ICT service providers who offer us support in keeping our systems safe and stable. We also use third-party services for sending newsletters and commercial e-mails. These are examples of parties that can be designated as (sub) processors as referred to in the General Data Protection Regulation (AVG).

  • 9. Share personal data with third parties

    Sometimes it is necessary to share your personal data with third parties, which – depending on the circumstances of the case – are necessary in the handling of your dossier. There are also legal obligations that lead to personal data being passed on to third parties. In the following cases personal data will be provided to third parties:

    • When processing a dossier, it may be necessary to share your personal data with third parties. For example in probing or asking for funding to a government, or the conclusion of an agreement with further parties.
    • If a court decision obliges us to provide personal data to third parties, we will have to comply with this.
    • Your personal data will not be shared with third parties for commercial purposes. There is one exception to this. Sometimes we organise a joint activity with another organization, such as an event or seminar. In that case, only the necessary contact details are exchanged.
    • Personal data can also be provided to third parties, in the event of a reorganisation or merger of our company or sale of (a part of) our company.
    • We never sell your personal data to third parties and do not make automated decisions that could have significant consequences for you.
  • 10. Transfer outside the (European Economic Area) EEA

    Under the General Data Protection Regulation (AVG), personal data may only be passed on to parties outside the EEA when an appropriate level is guaranteed for the protection of the personal data or when a specific deviation applies. We may pass on personal data to a party outside the EEA when necessary for the execution of the contract on provision of innovation- or financing consultancy services.

  • 11. If you have questions about your personal data

    Every person can exercise certain rights with respect to his or her personal data based on the law. This gives you the right to inspect, rectify and delete personal data. You can also object to the use of your data or request that the use is restricted. In certain cases, you can request your data and take it to another party.
