We host our website with Vercel. The provider is Vercel Inc., 440 N Barranca Ave #4133, Covina, CA 91723, USA (hereinafter: Vercel).
When you visit our website, Vercel records various log files including your IP address. The use of Vercel is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in presenting and providing our website as reliably as possible. Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG (German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act); the consent can be withdrawn at any time.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) and on the Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Vercel is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
Data processing agreement
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with the provider named above. This is a contract required under data protection law, which ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
Server log files
The provider of these pages (Vercel) automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- Browser type and browser version
- operating system used
- referrer URL
- host name of the accessing computer
- time of the server request
- IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources. This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website — for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.
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 the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
Information about the responsible party (controller)
The party responsible for data processing on this website is:
Merlin Stark
RAIVOLT – AI & Automation
Grenzstr. 6
96173 Oberhaid
Germany
Phone: 015203351671
Email: mstark@raivolt.ai
The responsible party (controller) is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).
Storage duration
Unless a more specific storage period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for erasure or withdraw 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 the latter case, deletion takes place once these reasons no longer apply.
4. Data collection on this website
Cookies and browser storage
This website does not set any cookies and does not integrate any tracking or analytics services. Fonts are served locally from this server; external font services are not called.
For the sign-up and the “resend email” function, your email address is briefly held in your browser’s session storage (sessionStorage) and is automatically deleted when the browser tab is closed. This storage is technically necessary in order to provide the function you requested (§ 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG) and does not require consent.
Sign-up for the networking programme / newsletter (Brevo)
When you sign up via the form on this website, we process the data you provide (email address, first and last name, your selection of interests and role, and – if provided – details about your activity, industry and your LinkedIn profile), as well as your IP address and the time of sign-up as proof of the sign-up.
Purpose & legal basis: We use this data to send you emails with curated opportunities, insights, tools and event invitations, and to assign or segment you to relevant content. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
Double opt-in: After signing up, you will receive a confirmation email. Your sign-up only becomes active after you click the confirmation link. This ensures that the sign-up actually originates from you. The time of sign-up and confirmation as well as your IP address are stored as proof.
Processor Brevo: Emails are sent and contacts are managed via the Brevo service (operated by Brevo GmbH, Köpenicker Str. 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany). Brevo processes the data as a processor on our behalf on servers within the EU. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place; it forms part of Brevo’s terms of use. Further information: Brevo’s privacy policy.
Performance measurement: Brevo can record whether and when emails sent are opened and links they contain are clicked. We use this analysis to improve our content.
Storage duration & withdrawal: We store your data for sending purposes until you unsubscribe or withdraw your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future – e.g. via the unsubscribe link in every email. The lawfulness of the processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected.
