We take the protection of your personal data seriously. Personal data is any information by which a natural person can be identified directly or indirectly. This includes, for example, name, email address, telephone number, IP address, device information, online identifiers, and details that you provide to us in the context of an inquiry or appointment booking.
We process personal data exclusively within the framework of applicable data protection regulations, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation.
This privacy policy informs about which data we collect, for what purposes we use it, on what legal bases the processing takes place, to which recipients data is transferred, and what rights you are entitled to.
Insofar as you have granted us consent, the processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent that has been granted may be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
If the processing is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures or for the fulfillment of a contract, it is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
To the extent that we are legally required to process data, we rely on Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.
Processing operations that are necessary to protect our legitimate interests or the interests of third parties are carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, provided that your interests or fundamental rights do not override them.
Access to information on your terminal equipment as well as the storage of information, in particular by means of cookies, pixels, local storage or comparable technologies, takes place in accordance with Section 25 of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG). Technologies that are not technically required will only be used after you have given your consent.
This website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This is designed to protect data transmitted between your browser and our server from unauthorized access by third parties.
You can recognize an encrypted connection in particular by the appearance of „https“ in your browser's address bar.
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small files or pieces of information that are stored on or accessed from your device.
We distinguish in particular between technically necessary cookies, analytical cookies, marketing cookies, and technologies for displaying external media.
Technically necessary cookies are used to enable basic website functions, security, language selection, and the storage of your privacy settings. They are used on the basis of Section 25 (2) of the German Digital Services and Data Protection Act (TDDDG) and Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR.
Analytical, marketing, and external media content are generally only activated once you have given your explicit consent via the cookie banner. The legal basis for this is Section 25 (1) TDDDG and Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
This stores your selection, the time of consent, a consent ID, and technical information so that we can prove the granting or refusal of consent.
You can change your selection at any time via the link or button available on the website „Cookie settings“ modify or revoke. The revocation does not affect the legality of the processing that took place prior to the revocation.
You can contact us via contact forms, by email, by phone, or through other specified communication channels.
In doing so, we process in particular your name, your contact details, the content of your message, the time of the request, and any other information that you voluntarily provide to us.
The processing is carried out to handle your request and to communicate with you. If your request relates to a potential or existing contract, the processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. For general inquiries, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR is the legal basis. Our legitimate interest lies in the appropriate handling of incoming inquiries.
Requests are deleted when they have been finally processed and there are no statutory retention obligations, contractual reasons, or legitimate interests for further storage.
Please do not submit particularly sensitive data, such as health data, identity documents, or complete banking and tax documents, via general contact forms unless we explicitly ask you to do so and provide a suitable transmission channel for this purpose.
You can sign up on our website for newsletters, guides, and other informational offers.
In doing so, we process in particular your email address, where applicable your name, your language, the time of registration, the IP address used, and information regarding the confirmation of your registration.
Registration is generally carried out using a double opt-in procedure. After registering, you will receive a message in which you must confirm your registration. The logging of the registration and confirmation process serves to be able to prove proper consent.
The legal basis for sending the emails is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The logging of the double opt-in procedure is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in proving proper registration and preventing fraudulent registrations.
To the extent that we measure opens and clicks in the newsletter, this is done exclusively on the basis of your consent. In the process, technical information, times of opening, clicked links, and device information may be processed.
You can revoke your consent at any time via the unsubscribe link in any newsletter email or by sending a message to datenschutz(@)globalsetup.com.
After unsubscribing, your email address will be removed from the active distribution list. We may store the address in a blocklist to ensure that no further newsletters are sent to this address. The storage in the blocklist is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

For the collection and transmission of certain event data to Meta, we and Meta may be joint controllers under data protection law.

Videos from the YouTube platform may be embedded on our website. The provider for users in the European Economic Area is Google Ireland Limited.
We use YouTube videos in the enhanced privacy mode wherever possible. For this purpose, the domain „youtube-nocookie.com“ is used for embedding. The enhanced privacy mode is intended to reduce data processing before a video is actively played.
Even when using the enhanced privacy mode, data may be transmitted to Google or YouTube when loading or playing a video. This may include, in particular, the IP address, device information, browser data, the page visited, the video played, and interactions with the video player.

Our website contains links to profiles and content on social networks and communication platforms.
With ordinary links, data is generally only transmitted to the respective platform when you actively click the link. From that point on, the privacy policy of the respective platform operator applies.
Insofar as social network content is directly embedded into our website, such as posts, feeds, videos, or buttons, this content is generally only loaded after you have given your consent.
During loading, IP address, browser and device information, the accessed page, referrer URL, cookie information, and details about your interaction in particular may be transmitted to the respective platform operator.

Within Global Setup LLC, access to personal data is granted only to those individuals who require it to perform their duties.
In addition, data may be transmitted in particular to hosting providers, IT service providers, providers of contact forms and CRM systems, newsletter providers, appointment booking services, analytics and advertising service providers, payment service providers, professional advisors, and authorities.
Service providers are obligated, insofar as required by law, through data processing agreements or other data protection agreements.
A transfer to authorities or other public bodies only takes place if we are legally obliged to do so or if this is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Global Setup LLC is headquartered in the United States. Personal data may therefore also be processed in the USA.
In addition, we use providers that may process data in the USA or other countries outside the European Economic Area.
For the USA, an adequacy decision by the European Commission exists only with regard to companies that effectively participate in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Data may be transferred to correspondingly certified recipients on the basis of this adequacy decision.
Unless an adequacy decision applies, and provided the requirements for a transfer pursuant to Chapter V GDPR are met, the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission and, where applicable, supplementary protective measures are used in particular.
Despite such protective measures, processing in third countries may carry the risk that authorities could access personal data and European data protection rights cannot be enforced in the same way.
We only store personal data for as long as is necessary for the respective processing purpose.
Subsequently, the data will be deleted or anonymized, provided no statutory retention obligations, contractual reasons, or legitimate interests require further storage.
Business and tax-relevant documents may be stored for several years in accordance with applicable statutory retention periods. In addition, data may be retained for as long as necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
If processing is based on your consent, we generally process the data in question until you withdraw your consent, unless another legal basis permits or requires further processing.
Under the statutory conditions, you have the right to obtain information about the personal data processed by us.
You can also request the rectification of incorrect data, the completion of incomplete data, the deletion of your data, the restriction of processing, and the transfer of the data you have provided in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
Insofar as the processing is based on your consent, you may revoke it at any time with effect for the future.
If processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing on grounds relating to your particular situation.
If personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you can object to this processing and to any associated profiling at any time without giving specific reasons.
To exercise your rights, you can contact datenschutz(@)globalsetup.com or our representative in the European Union.
Pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
In particular, you can contact the supervisory authority in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged data protection violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
We generally do not make exclusively automated decisions that have legal effect on you or significantly affect you in a similar way.
With your consent, analytics and marketing services can create user profiles or audience segments. These are used in particular to measure, personalize, and optimize advertising. You can object to this processing by revoking your consent in the cookie settings.
The provision of personal data is generally neither legally nor contractually required when simply visiting our website.
However, certain information is required if you wish to contact us, make an appointment, request informational material, or conclude a contract. Without the required information, we may not be able to process the respective request or service.
We may adapt this privacy policy if our website, the services used, our processing procedures, or legal requirements change.
