Our principles

Financial Health respects your right to privacy and is committed to the following key principles:

 

·        We protect your privacy and aim to provide you with a service that is tailored to your needs.

·        Personal data is collected for specific purposes based on your consent or a legitimate interest when you contact us.

·        You have the right to information and access to your personal data at any time and may request its correction or deletion.

·        We do not sell your personal data to third parties. However, if necessary and if explicitly mentioned afterwards or if you have consented, we may share your data with group companies, brand licensees, partners and other service providers. In this case, their own privacy policies may also apply.

·        We take all reasonable measures to ensure the security and protection of your data from misuse.

·        Personal data are processed by us only as necessary and for the purpose of providing a functional and user-friendly website, including its contents and the services offered there.

 

Rights of users and persons concerned

With regard to the data processing described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right to

 

·        to confirmation as to whether data relating to them is being processed,

·        to information about the data processed, to further information about the data processing and to copies of the data;

·        to correction or completion of incorrect or incomplete data;

·        to immediate erasure of the data concerning them;

·        to receive the data concerning them and provided by them and to transfer this data to other providers/controllers;

·        to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority if they are of the opinion that the data concerning them is being processed by the provider in breach of data protection provisions.

 

In addition, the provider is obliged to inform all recipients to whom data has been disclosed by the provider of any correction or deletion of data or restriction of processing that takes place. However, this obligation does not apply if such notification is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Notwithstanding this, the user has a right to information about these recipients.

 

Likewise, users and data subjects have the right to object to the future processing of data concerning them, insofar as the data is processed by the provider. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising is permissible.

 

The above rights may be limited in some circumstances, for example, if fulfilling your request would reveal personal information about another person, if you ask us to delete information which we are required to have by law, or if we have compelling legitimate interests to keep it. We will let you know if that is the case and will then only use your information for these purposes. You may also be unable to continue using our services if you want us to stop processing your personal information.

 

We encourage you to get in touch if you have any concerns with how we collect or use your personal information.

 

Lawfulness of processing

The processing of personal data is only lawful if there is a legal basis for the processing. Pursuant to Article 6 (1) lit. a - f GDPR, the legal basis for processing may in particular be:

 

·        The data subject has given consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for one or more specific purposes;

·        The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the data subject's request;

·        Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;

·        Processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;

·        Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

·        Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

If you wish to object to certain data processing over which we have an influence, please contact us. We will then examine your objection.

As already stated, where the social media platform provider gives us the opportunity, we take care to design our social media pages to be as data protection compliant as possible.
