2. GENERAL NOTES AND MANDATORY INFORMATION
Data protection
At this website, we take your privacy and the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the applicable statutory data protection provisions and this Privacy Policy.

When you use our website, we collect various types of personal data. Personal data refers to data with which you can be personally identified. This Privacy Policy outlines what data we collect, how we use them, and why.

We want to remind you that the transmission of data over the Internet, such as when you communicate with us via e-mail, may not always be completely secure. While we take appropriate measures to safeguard your data, we cannot guarantee full protection against unauthorised access by third parties.

Information on the data controller
The data controller of this website is:

securities.lu SA
17, Rue de Flaxweiler
6776 Grevenmacher
Grand Duchy of Luxembourg

E-Mail: crm@securities.lu

The controller means the natural or legal person which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data such as names, e-mail addresses etc.

Storage duration
Unless this Privacy Policy specifies a more specific retention period, we will keep your personal data for as long as we need it to achieve the purpose for processing the data. 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., retention periods under tax or commercial law). In such cases, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply.

Note on data transfer to the USA
Our website uses tools from companies based in the USA. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. Please be aware that the USA is not considered a safe third country under EU data protection law. US companies are obligated to hand over personal data to security authorities without allowing data subjects to take legal action against it. Therefore, it is possible that US authorities (such as intelligence services) process, analyse and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no control over these activities.

Revocation of your consent to data processing
Some data processing operations require your express consent, which you may revoke at any time. Revoking your consent does not affect the lawfulness of the data processing that occurred before the revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in specific cases and to direct marketing (Article 21 GDPR)
IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ARTICLE 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(1) GDPR).

WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have a 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 infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

You can find the supervisory authority responsible for you, for example, on the website of the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.

Right to data portability
You have the right to receive personal data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract or have such data transmitted to a third party in a commonly used and machine-readable format. If you request the direct transmission of the data to another controller, this will only be done as far as it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. An encrypted connection is identified by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://“ to “https://“ and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

Where SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Access, erasure and rectification
Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, a right to rectification or erasure of these data. For this purpose and for further questions on the subject of personal data, you may contact us at any time.

Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to obtain from us restriction of processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you may contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If the accuracy of your personal data is contested by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you have the right to request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
  • If you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such personal data may, with the exception of storage, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence 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 of a Member State.

3. DATA COLLECTION ON THIS WEBSITE
Enquiries by e-mail, telephone or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, we will store and process your request and all associated personal data (such as your name and request) for the purpose of processing your request. We do not share these data with third parties without your consent.

The processing of these data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests sent to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested.

The data you provide to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request us to delete them, revoke your consent to store them or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular legal retention periods, will remain unaffected.
