Where technically possible, reasonable or expedient, our website’s services may be used anonymously.

SICORE Real Assets GmbH has produced this Data Protection Statement to describe how and for what purposes we collect, process and use different types of our website’s users’ personal data. This Data Protection Statement also provides an overview of prudent precautions you can take to protect your personal data.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THIS DATA PROTECTION STATEMENT?

This Data Protection Statement applies to all personal data that is collected, processed and used by SICORE Real Assets GmbH when you visit this page.

The content of this Data Protection Statement may be subject to additional conditions or disclaimers or other contractual provisions you have entered into with SICORE Real Assets GmbH, such as customers’ data protection statements or instructions, or applicable mandatory laws and regulations.

When you visit this website, our web server automatically records details of your visit (including your IP address, the website from which you reached our website, the browser software you use, the individual pages of our website you visit, and the date and time of your visit).

In addition, we collect, process and use personal data that you disclose via our website, such as when you enter personal details (e.g. your name, gender, address, email address, telephone number or fax number) on a registration page or if you subscribe to an email newsletter.

SICORE Real Assets GmbH collects, processes and uses your personal data

  • for customer and use management and for marketing purposes, and
  • to inform you about our products and services.

TO WHOM DO WE DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION?

We may disclose your information to state authorities or institutions, supervisory authorities or other persons in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, a judicial decision or an official request or in accordance with and for the purposes of guidelines issued by (supervisory) authorities or similar procedures as required or permitted by applicable law.

WHAT SECURITY MEASURES HAVE WE INTRODUCED TO PROTECT THE INFORMATION COLLECTED VIA OUR WEBSITE?

We have taken the necessary technical and organizational measures to protect the personal data collected via our website against unauthorized access, misuse, loss or destruction.

  • All accesses and access attempts are logged in the interests of preventive security.
  • Data is not disclosed to third parties without the respective data subjects’ consent unless mandated by other statutory requirements.

HOW DO WE, AND HOW DO PARTIES ENGAGED BY SICORE REAL ASSETS GMBH, HANDLE ELECTRONIC MESSAGES

All electronic messages sent by SICORE Real Assets GmbH are protected within our system by appropriate technical and organizational measures and may only be accessed by people without direct involvement in justified cases in accordance with applicable laws and regulations (e.g. a judicial decision, suspicion of unlawful conduct, or violation of obligations under regulatory law); such messages are therefore accessed only by certain people in specified roles (e.g. Legal, Compliance, Auditing).

WHAT SHOULD YOU CONSIDER WHEN SENDING DATA VIA THE INTERNET?

The internet is generally not regarded as a secure environment and, therefore, it is possible that information sent via the internet (such as information sent to or from our website, or via electronic messages) may be viewed by unauthorized third parties, which could lead to information being exposed, the message’s content being altered or to technical faults. Even if the sender and the recipient are located in the same country, information sent via the internet may be transmitted across international borders and forwarded to a country with a lower level of data protection than your country of residence.

Please note that we cannot accept any responsibility or liability for the security of information during its transfer via the internet to SICORE Real Assets GmbH. In order to protect your privacy, we would like to remind you that you may use other means of communication with SICORE Real Assets GmbH as you deem appropriate.
