3. General Information and Mandatory Information
Data Protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.
Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Information on the Responsible Entity
The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:
Lion Private Equity Investors GmbH
Europaallee 1
46047 Oberhausen
Email: info@lpei.de
The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data such as names or email addresses.
Storage Period
Unless a more specific storage period has been stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies.
If you assert a legitimate 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 such as tax or commercial retention periods. In the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.
Legal Bases for Data Processing
If you have given your consent to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR if special categories of data are processed.
In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information in your terminal device such as device fingerprinting, data processing is additionally based on Section 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time.
If your data is required for contract performance or for carrying out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
We also 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 based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The relevant legal bases in each individual case are explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.
Information on Data Transfers 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 considered secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries.
We 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 release personal data to security authorities without you being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities such as intelligence agencies may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.
Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke your consent at any time. The legality of data processing carried out prior to revocation remains unaffected.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising
If data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such advertising. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes.
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged violation. This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format, either for yourself or for a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Right to Information, Correction, and Deletion
Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You may contact us at any time regarding this or other questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. During the review period, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data but you require it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, you have the right to request restriction instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balancing of interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
If processing has been restricted, such data may only be processed, apart from storage, with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

The use of contact data published as part of the legal notice obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information, such as spam emails.
