Cookies are stored by the devices used (PC, notebook, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit the website. In this respect, cookies cannot cause any damage to the devices used. In particular, they do not contain viruses or other malware. Information is stored in the cookies that results in each case in connection with the specific end device used. INSIGHT TAX can therefore never obtain direct knowledge of the identity of the website visitor. Cookies are largely accepted according to the basic browser settings. The browser settings can be configured so that cookies are either not accepted on the devices used or that a special message is displayed before a new cookie is created. However, it should be noted that deactivating cookies may mean that not all functions of the website can be used to the best possible effect. The use of cookies serves to make the use of the INSIGHT TAX website more convenient. For example, session cookies can be used to track whether the visitor has already visited individual pages of the website. After leaving the website, these session cookies are automatically deleted.

5.1 Social-Media-Buttons
No cookies from social media platform operators are integrated on our website (e.g. via plug-ins). Instead, the buttons available in some places on the website represent a link to the website of the respective social media service (in our case LinkedIn, Instagram & YouTube). The existing buttons alone do not lead to the collection and transmission of data to these services. Only when you click on a button will you be redirected to the page of the respective provider.
Our privacy policy only applies to this website and not to other websites (in particular LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube) to which we refer via links.
The respective providers process your data in accordance with their own data protection guidelines.
5.2 Analysis and marketing tools
We use Google Analytics on our website, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").
Google Analytics uses so-called tracking pixels and cookies. The information generated by a cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, by activating IP anonymization, your IP address will be shortened by Google within the European Economic Area (European Union and other member states) beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.
Google will use this information on our behalf to analyze your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
The processing of your personal data is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by changing the cookie settings.
Google processes your personal data in the USA. The transfer of data to the USA is possible due to the Data Privacy Framework.
If your personal data is processed when you visit our website, you have the following rights as a "data subject" within the meaning of the GDPR:
6.1 Information
You can request information from us as to whether your personal data is being processed by us. There is no right to information if the provision of the requested information would violate the duty of confidentiality pursuant to Section 57 StBerG or if the information must be kept secret for other reasons, in particular due to an overriding legitimate interest of a third party. Deviating from this, there may be an obligation to provide information if your interests outweigh the interest in confidentiality, in particular taking into account the threat of damage. The right to information is also excluded if the data is only stored because it may not be deleted due to legal or statutory retention periods or exclusively serves the purposes of data backup or data protection control, provided that the provision of information would require a disproportionately high effort and processing for other purposes is excluded by suitable technical and organisational measures. If the right to information is not excluded in your case and your personal data is processed by us, you can request the following information from us:
Purposes of the processing,
- Categories of personal data processed by you,
- Recipients or categories of recipients to whom your personal data is disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries,
- if possible, the planned duration for which your personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining the storage period,
- the existence of a right to rectification or erasure or restriction of processing of personal data concerning you or a right to object to such processing,
- the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority,
- if the personal data have not been collected from you as the data subject, the available information on the origin of the data,
- where applicable, the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of automated decision-making,
- if applicable, in the case of transfer to recipients in third countries, provided that no decision of the EU Commission on the adequacy of the level of protection pursuant to Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR exists, information on the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 GDPR for the protection of personal data.
6.2 Correction and completion
If you discover that we have incorrect personal data about you, you can request that we correct this incorrect data immediately. If your personal data is incomplete, you can request that it be completed.
6.3 Cancellation
You have the right to erasure unless the processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression, the right to information or for compliance with a legal obligation or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest and one of the following grounds applies:
- The personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were processed.
- The justification for the processing was exclusively your consent, which you have revoked.
- You have objected to the processing of your personal data that we have made public.
- You have objected to the processing of personal data not made public by us and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing.
- Your personal data has been processed unlawfully.
- The deletion of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject.
There is no right to erasure if, in the case of lawful non-automated data processing, erasure is not possible or only possible with disproportionate effort due to the special type of storage and your interest in erasure is low. In this case, the restriction of processing takes the place of erasure.
6.4 Restriction of processing
You can demand that we restrict processing if one of the following reasons applies:
- You contest the accuracy of the personal data. In this case, the restriction may be requested for the period of time that enables us to verify the accuracy of the data.
- The processing is unlawful and you request the restriction of the use of your personal data instead of erasure.
- We no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
- You have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR. The restriction of processing can be requested as long as it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate reasons outweigh your reasons.
Restriction of processing means that the personal data will 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. We are obliged to inform you before we lift the restriction.
6.5 Data portability
You have a right to data portability if the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a) GDPR) or on a contract to which you are a party and the processing is carried out using automated procedures. In this case, the right to data portability includes the following rights, provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others You may request to receive the personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from us. Where technically feasible, you can request that we transfer your personal data directly to another controller.
6.6 Contradiction
If the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e) GDPR (performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority) or on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR (legitimate interest of the controller or a third party), you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on Article 6 (1) sentence 1 (e) or (f) GDPR. Once you have exercised your right to object, we will no longer process your personal data 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.
You can object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time. This also applies to profiling in connection with such direct marketing. After exercising this right to object, we will no longer use the personal data concerned for direct marketing purposes.
You have the option of informing INSIGHT TAX informally of your objection by telephone, e-mail or to our postal address listed at the beginning of this privacy policy.
6.7 Revocation of consent
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. The revocation of consent can be communicated informally by telephone, e-mail or to our postal address. The revocation does not affect the legality of the data processing that has taken place on the basis of the consent until receipt of the revocation. After receipt of the revocation, the data processing that was based exclusively on your consent will be discontinued.
6.8 Complaint
If you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you is unlawful, you may lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority that is competent for your place of residence or work or for the place of the alleged infringement.
