Privacy Policy

In the following, we inform you in accordance with Art. 13 GDPR about which personal data we process during your visit to our website and what rights you have. Regarding the terminology used, we refer to the definitions in Art. 4 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Personal data are all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, your name, your address and communication data, or your e-mail address.

Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller responsible for the processing.

Controller or “person responsible for processing” is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

User includes all categories of data subjects affected by data processing. These include our business partners and other visitors to our website.

1. Name and Address of the Controller

RS2 Financial Services GmbH

Martin-Behaim-Str. 15A

63263 Neu-Isenburg

Tel. +49 (0) 61 02 73 00 42

E-Mail info@beyondbyrs2.com

2. Data Protection Officer

You can contact our data protection officer via the e-mail address datenschutz@rs2.com or via the postal address with the addition “the Data Protection Officer.”

3. Storage Duration

Unless a more specific storage period has been mentioned within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for erasure 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., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, erasure will take place after these reasons no longer apply.

4. General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing on this Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing also takes place on the basis of Art. 49 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access information in your terminal device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the performance of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c) GDPR. Data processing may also take place on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. We inform you about the legal basis applicable in each individual case in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

5. Information on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries

We use, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We point out that a level of data protection comparable to 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 excluded that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

6. Hosting of our Website

Our website is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the eu-central-1 (Frankfurt) region.

The personal data collected on this website is processed and stored on the AWS infrastructure we use. This may include, in particular, IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contract data, contact details, names, website access data, and other data generated via the website.

We use AWS for the purpose of providing our website securely, efficiently, and reliably. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure and efficient provision of our website) and, where the website is used for initiating or performing a contract, on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

AWS provides a GDPR Data Processing Addendum (DPA), which AWS states applies automatically to customers who need it for GDPR compliance.

If consent is required, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting). Consent can be revoked at any time. The former TTDSG was renamed TDDDG in 2024.

7. Processing of Personal Data

7.1. Visiting our Website

When you visit our website, your browser transfers certain data to our web server for technical reasons. This involves the following data (so-called server log files):

• IP address
• Date and time of the request
• Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
• Content of the request (specific page)
• Operating system and its access status / HTTP status code
• Amount of data transferred
• Website from which the request comes (“Referrer URL”)
• Browser, language, and version of the browser software
• Files accessed

 

Storage of this data together with other personal data of the users does not take place.

The temporary storage of the user’s IP address by our web server is technically necessary to be able to display the website. For this purpose, your IP address must inevitably remain stored for the duration of the session.

The storage of the above-mentioned data in the log files is done to ensure the functionality of our website. This data also serves us to optimize our website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems (e.g., for attack detection). An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of this data and the log files is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of our website.

The above-mentioned data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. In the case of data stored in log files, this is the case after 52 days. Further storage is possible if this data is required for (e.g., investigation of attacks, abuse, or fraud). Data whose further storage is required for evidence purposes are excluded from deletion until the final clarification of the respective incident.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and its storage in log files is mandatory for the operation of our website for technical reasons. You consequently have no possibility of objection.

7.2. Inquiries by E-Mail or Telephone

If you contact us via the provided e-mail addresses or by telephone, we process the data transmitted with your request. This includes name, address, and communication data as well as the message text.

We process your personal data for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided that your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

When you contact us, your personal data will be processed by our internal departments responsible for the request.

The data transmitted to us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended and it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified. If the request is made within the framework of a contractual relationship or for pre-contractual measures, we store the collected data in accordance with the legal retention obligations for a period of ten years.

You have the possibility at any time to revoke the processing of your personal data. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. Please address a revocation to hello@beyondbyrs2.com.

In this case, all personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted, provided that there are no legal retention periods.

7.3. Contact Form

A contact form is available on our website. If you send us inquiries via the contact form, we collect company, name data, telephone number, and e-mail address as well as the desired information.

We process this data to answer your request and handle your concern. In the event of follow-up questions, we store your data. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

If your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures (e.g., offer), processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

When you contact us, your personal data will be processed by our internal departments responsible for the request.

The data transmitted to us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended and it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified. If the request is made within the framework of a contractual relationship or for pre-contractual measures, we store the collected data in accordance with the legal retention periods for a period of ten years.

You have the possibility at any time to revoke the processing of your personal data. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. Please address a revocation to hello@beyondbyrs2.com.

In this case, all personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted, provided that there are no legal retention periods.

There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data; however, the processing of your request is not possible without providing this information.

7.4. Applications

If you are interested in working for our company, you can apply to us online by e-mail. Under the menu item “Careers,” you will find positions that we have advertised. You can also send a speculative application.

We process the personal data that you transmit to us as part of your application for the performance of the application process and for the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship, in particular for the selection process of suitable candidates as well as the administrative implementation of the application process.

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in the application process is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR in conjunction with § 26 Para. 1 BDSG.

The recipient of your personal data is the human resources department and the manager responsible for the job advertisement.

In principle, only those persons have access to your data who require this for the proper conduct of the application process.

A data transfer to a third country or to an international organization does not take place.

We do not use automated decision-making.

If your application does not lead to an employment relationship, we delete your personal data, taking into account the filing period of the AGG, no later than 6 months after the end of the application process (e.g., the announcement of the rejection decision), unless you have given us consent according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR for longer-term storage of your personal data in order to be able to consider you for new job offers if necessary. In this case, we will ask you for a separate consent according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

If your application was successful and leads to an employment relationship with us, we will include your application documents, as far as necessary, on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR and § 26 Para. 1 BDSG into our personnel administration system and into your personnel file for the performance of the employment relationship. In this case, your application documents will only be deleted when your employment relationship has ended and a further three years have passed since the end of the year.

You can have the personal data transmitted by you to us updated or deleted at any time upon request. To do this, send an e-mail to recruitment@beyondbyrs2.com. This does not apply insofar as you have applied for a specific position with us in an ongoing application process. In this case, we store the information provided by you for this position until the expiry of the legal limitation periods for filing a claim (especially § 15 AGG).

7.5. Cookies

Our website uses so-called “cookies.” These are small text files that are stored in the cache of your internet browser when the website is called up. They do not cause any damage to your end device and do not contain any malware such as viruses or trojans.

Cookies are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (so-called session cookies) or permanently (so-called permanent cookies) on your terminal device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Permanent cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them yourself or an automatic deletion is carried out by your web browser.

Cookies have various functions. Some cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the cookie banner). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behaviour (e.g., when using Google Analytics). Cookies can originate from us (so-called first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies).

Cookies that are technically required to provide the website (necessary cookies) are stored by us on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of our website. In the case of cookies and comparable recognition technologies that we use to analyse user behaviour, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG); consent is revocable at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or generally. You can also activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. When deactivating cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Consent with Usercentrics

Our website uses Usercentrics consent technology to obtain your consent for the storage of certain cookies on your terminal device or for the use of certain technologies and to document this in a data protection-compliant manner.

The provider of this technology is Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Straße 7, 80331 Munich, website: https://usercentrics.com/de/ (hereinafter “Usercentrics”).

When you enter our website, the following personal data is transferred to Usercentrics:

• Your consent or the revocation of your consent
• Your IP address
• Information about your browser
• Information about your terminal device
• Time of your visit to the website

 

Furthermore, Usercentrics stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to assign the granted consents or their revocation to you. The data collected in this way will be stored until you request us to delete it, delete the Usercentrics cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory legal retention obligations remain unaffected. Usercentrics is used to obtain the legally required consents for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c) GDPR.

Data Processing Agreement

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that Usercentrics processes the personal data of our website visitors only according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

7.6. Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics 4. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics enables us to analyse the behaviour of website visitors.

In doing so, we receive various usage data, such as page views, duration of visit, operating systems used, and the origin of the user. This data is assigned to the respective end device of the user. An assignment to a User ID does not take place. Furthermore, we can record, among other things, your mouse and scroll movements and clicks with Google Analytics. Google Analytics also uses various modelling approaches to supplement the recorded data sets and uses machine learning technologies in data analysis.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and stored there.

The use of this service is based on your consent according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG. Consent is revocable at any time. Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

More information on the handling of user data at Google Analytics can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

8. Data Security

We take technical, contractual, and organizational measures for the security of data processing according to the state of the art. In this way, we ensure that the provisions of the data protection law, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation, are complied with and that the data processed by us are protected against destruction, loss, alteration, and unauthorized access. These security measures also include the encrypted transmission of data between your browser and our servers. Please note that SSL encryption for transmissions carried out over the internet is only activated if the key symbol appears in your browser window and the address begins with https://. Through SSL (Secure Socket Layer), the data transmission is protected against illegal data access by third parties using encryption technology. Should this option not be available, you can also choose not to send certain data over the internet.

9. Your Rights

If we process personal data from you, you are a data subject within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and have the following rights toward us:

Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR): You have the right to request access to the personal data processed about your person. This right also includes a copy of the corresponding data.

Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR): You have the right to request an immediate rectification of personal data concerning you, insofar as it should be incorrect. Taking into account the purposes of processing, you have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data concerning you, insofar as it should be incomplete.

Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR): You have the right to request that the personal data concerning you be deleted immediately, insofar as one of the reasons mentioned there exists.

Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR): You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data, insofar as one of the reasons mentioned there exists.

Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR): You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, common, and machine-readable format, and you have the right under certain circumstances to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance.

Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR): You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of your data, insofar as the data processing is based on a balance of interests pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 4 GDPR. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless there are demonstrable compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that outweigh your interests, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

Withdrawal of consent (Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR): You generally have the right, pursuant to Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR, to withdraw a consent you have given for the processing of personal data at any time.

For the Right of access and the Right to erasure, the restrictions according to §§ 34 and 35 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) apply.

Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR in conjunction with § 19 BDSG) if you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data is not lawful. This can be done, for example, with the supervisory authority responsible for us: The Hessian Data Protection Commissioner, Gustav-Stresemann-Ring 1, 65189 Wiesbaden, https://datenschutz.hessen.de.

10. Changes to the Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to change the privacy policy in order to adapt it to changed legal situations or in the event of changes to the service and data processing. However, this only applies with regard to declarations on data processing. Insofar as user consent is required or components of the privacy policy contain regulations of the contractual relationship with the users, the changes shall only be made with the consent of the users.

Please inform yourself regularly about the content of the privacy policy.
