Privacy Policy
With the following information, we would like to provide you, as the “data subject”, with an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under data protection law. In principle, it is possible to use our websites without providing personal data. However, if you wish to use special services offered by our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. Where the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.
The processing of personal data, such as your name, address or email address, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to ADOLF WEBER FINANCE GmbH. By means of this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us.
As the controller responsible for processing, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may, in principle, have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or post.
This privacy policy applies to the online offering of ADOLF WEBER FINANCE GmbH, which is accessible under the domain www.adolfweber.com and the various subdomains (“our website”).

What is this about?
This privacy policy fulfils the statutory requirements of transparency regarding the processing of personal data. Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address, IP address or user behaviour when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot (or only with disproportionate effort can) establish a link to you personally, e.g. by anonymisation, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, querying, use, storage or disclosure) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.
Stored personal data is deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no lawful grounds for further retention. We will inform you in the individual processing operations of the specific retention periods or the criteria used to determine retention. Irrespective of this, we store your personal data in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and where statutory retention obligations exist.
Who receives my data?
We disclose your personal data processed on our website to third parties only if this is necessary to fulfil the purposes and is covered in the individual case by the legal basis (e.g. consent or the protection of legitimate interests). In addition, we disclose personal data to third parties in individual cases where this serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. Possible recipients may then include, for example, law enforcement authorities, lawyers, auditors, courts, etc.
Insofar as we use service providers for the operation of our website who process personal data on our behalf as processors in accordance with Article 28 GDPR, they may be recipients of your personal data. Further information on the use of processors and web services can be found in the overview of the individual processing operations.
What rights do I have?
Subject to the conditions of the statutory provisions of the GDPR, you, as a data subject, have the following rights:
Right of access pursuant to Article 15 GDPR to the data stored about you in the form of meaningful information on the details of the processing, as well as a copy of your data;
Right to rectification pursuant to Article 16 GDPR of inaccurate or incomplete data stored by us;
Right to erasure pursuant to Article 17 GDPR of data stored by us, insofar as the processing is not necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims;
Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Article 18 GDPR, insofar as the accuracy of the data is contested, the processing is unlawful, we no longer need the data and you oppose erasure because you require the data for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, or you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21 GDPR;
Right to data portability pursuant to Article 20 GDPR, insofar as you have provided us with personal data on the basis of consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or on the basis of a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and this data has been processed by us by automated means. You will receive your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or we will transmit the data directly to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible;
Right to object pursuant to Article 21 GDPR to the processing of your personal data where it is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR and there are grounds relating to your particular situation, or where the objection relates to direct marketing. The right to object does not apply where overriding compelling legitimate grounds for the processing are demonstrated or where the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. Where the right to object does not exist for individual processing operations, this is indicated there.
Right to withdraw consent pursuant to Article 7(3) GDPR with effect for the future;
Right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Article 77 GDPR with a supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR. As a rule, you may contact the supervisory authority of your habitual residence, your place of work or our company’s registered office.
How are my data processed in detail?
Below we inform you about the individual processing operations, the scope and purpose of data processing, the legal basis, whether you are obliged to provide your data and the respective retention period. No automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling, takes place.
Data storage in the context of job applications
We process the personal data transmitted as part of your application exclusively for the purpose of carrying out the application process.The data will be stored for the duration of the selection process and will be deleted after completion of the procedure, unless there is a legal retention obligation or you have expressly agreed to longer storage. In the event of a rejection, your data will be deleted no later than 6 months after completion of the application process in order to be able to defend against any claims under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). It will not be passed on to third parties unless we are legally obliged to do so.

When you access and use our website, we collect the personal data that your browser automatically transmits to our server. The following information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file:
IP address of the requesting device
Date and time of access
Name and URL of the retrieved file
Website from which access is made (referrer URL)

Purpose and legal basis
The processing is carried out to safeguard our overriding legitimate interests in displaying our website and ensuring its security and stability on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The collection of the data and the storage in log files is strictly necessary for the operation of the website. A right to object to this processing does not exist due to the exception under Article 21(1) GDPR. Insofar as further storage of the log files is required by law, processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. There is no statutory or contractual obligation to provide the data; however, accessing our website is technically impossible without providing the data.
Retention period
The aforementioned data is stored for the duration of displaying the website.
Contact form
Nature and scope of processing
On our website we offer you the option to contact us via a form provided. The information collected via mandatory fields is required in order to process the request. In addition, you may voluntarily provide additional information that you consider necessary for the processing of your enquiry.
When using the contact form, your personal data is not disclosed to third parties.
Purpose and legal basis
The processing of your data when using our contact form is carried out for the purpose of communication and handling your enquiry on the basis of your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. If your enquiry relates to an existing contractual relationship with us, the processing is carried out for the purpose of contract performance on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. There is no statutory or contractual obligation to provide your data; however, it is not possible to process your enquiry without providing the information in the mandatory fields. If you do not wish to provide this data, please contact us by other means.
Retention period
If you use the contact form on the basis of your consent, we store the data collected for each enquiry for a period of three years, beginning upon completion of your enquiry, or until you withdraw your consent.
Presences on social media platforms
We maintain so-called fan pages and/or accounts or channels on the networks listed below in order to provide you with information and offers within social networks as well, and to offer you further ways to contact us and to learn about our offers. In the following, we inform you about which data we and/or the respective social network process in connection with accessing and using our fan pages/accounts.
Data that we process about you
If you contact us via messenger or direct message through the relevant social network, we generally process your username through which you contact us and may store further data provided by you insofar as this is necessary for processing/answering your request.
The legal basis is Article 6(1) sentence 1(f) GDPR (processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller).
(Static) usage data that we receive from the social networks
We receive automatically provided statistics via insights functionalities relating to our accounts. The statistics include, among other things, the total number of page views, likes, information on page activities and post interactions, reach, video views, and information on the proportion of men/women among our fans/followers.
The statistics contain only aggregated data that cannot be related to individual persons. It is not possible for us to identify you through these statistics.
Which data the social networks process about you
To view the content of our fan pages/accounts, you do not have to be a member of the respective social network and, in this respect, no user account is required.
Please note, however, that when you access the respective social network, the social networks also collect and store data from website visitors without a user account (e.g. technical data required to display the website) and use cookies and similar technologies, over which we have no influence. Details can be found in the privacy policies of the respective social network (see the relevant links above).
If you wish to interact with the content on our fan pages/accounts, e.g. comment on, share or like our posts/contributions and/or contact us via messenger functions, prior registration with the relevant social network and the provision of personal data are required.
We have no influence on the data processing carried out by the social networks in connection with your use. To the best of our knowledge, your data is processed in particular in connection with providing the services of the respective social network and also to analyse user behaviour (using cookies, pixels/web beacons and similar technologies), on the basis of which interest-based advertising is displayed both within and outside the respective social network. It cannot be ruled out that your data is also stored outside the EU/EEA by the social networks and disclosed to third parties.
Information, among other things, on the exact scope and purposes of the processing of your personal data, retention/deletion, and policies on the use of cookies and similar technologies in the context of registration and use of the social networks can be found in the privacy policies/cookie policies of the social networks. There you will also find information on your rights and objection options.
Instagram page
When you visit our Instagram page, Instagram (Meta) collects, among other things, your IP address and other information stored on your PC in the form of cookies. This information is used to provide us, as the operator of the Instagram page, with statistical information about the use of the Instagram page. Instagram provides further information via the following link (note: by clicking the following link you will be taken to the Facebook website, which is also part of the Meta group. The information provided via the link applies equally to the social network Instagram): https://facebook.com/help/pages/insights.
Using the transmitted statistical information, it is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual users. We use it only to better address the interests of our users, to continuously improve our online presence and to ensure its quality.
We collect your data via our fan page solely in order to enable communication and interaction with us. This collection typically includes your name, message contents, comment contents and the profile information you have provided “publicly”.
The processing of your personal data for the purposes stated above is based on our legitimate commercial and communicative interest in offering an information and communication channel pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. If, as a user, you have given consent to the data processing vis-à-vis the provider of the social network, the legal basis for the processing extends to Article 6(1)(a) and Article 7 GDPR.
Due to the fact that the actual data processing is carried out by the provider of the social network, our access options to your data are limited. Only the provider of the social network is entitled to full access to your data. For this reason, only the provider can directly take and implement appropriate measures to fulfil your user rights (access request, erasure request, objection, etc.). Exercising such rights is therefore most effective directly vis-à-vis the respective provider.
We are jointly responsible with Instagram for the personal data content of the fan page. Data subject rights may be asserted with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited as well as with us.
Primary responsibility for the processing of Insights data lies with Instagram under the GDPR, and Instagram fulfils all obligations under the GDPR with regard to the processing of Insights data. Meta Platforms Ireland Limited makes the essential contents of the Page Insights Controller Addendum available to data subjects.
We do not make decisions regarding the processing of Insights data and the retention period of cookies on users’ end devices.
Further information can be found directly at Instagram (controller addendum with Facebook): https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum.
Further information, among other things, on the exact scope and purposes of the processing of your personal data, retention/deletion and policies on the use of cookies and similar technologies in the context of registration and use can be found in Instagram’s privacy policy/cookie policy (note: by clicking the following link you will be taken to the Facebook website): https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875/?helpref=uf_share

LinkedIn page
LinkedIn is a social network of LinkedIn Inc., headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, USA, which enables the creation of private and professional profiles of natural persons and company profiles. Users can maintain their existing contacts within the social network and make new ones. Companies and other organisations can create profiles on which photos and other company information can be uploaded in order to present themselves as an employer and recruit employees. Other LinkedIn users have access to this information and can write their own articles and share this content with others. The network focuses on professional exchange on technical topics with people who share the same professional interests.
When using or visiting the network, LinkedIn automatically collects data from users/visitors during use or visits, for example username, job title and IP address. This is done with the aid of various tracking technologies. LinkedIn uses the data collected, among other things, to provide users with information, offers and recommendations.
We collect your data via our company profile solely in order to enable communication and interaction with us. This collection typically includes your name, message contents, comment contents and the profile information you have provided “publicly”.
The processing of your personal data for the purposes stated above is based on our legitimate commercial and communicative interest in offering an information and communication channel pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. If, as a user, you have given consent to the data processing vis-à-vis the provider of the social network, the legal basis for the processing extends to Article 6(1)(a) and Article 7 GDPR.
Due to the fact that the actual data processing is carried out by the provider of the social network, our access options to your data are limited. Only the provider of the social network is entitled to full access to your data. For this reason, only the provider can directly take and implement appropriate measures to fulfil your user rights (access request, erasure request, objection, etc.). Exercising such rights is therefore most effective directly vis-à-vis the respective provider.
We are jointly responsible with LinkedIn for the personal data content of our company profile. Data subject rights may be asserted with LinkedIn Inc. as well as with us.
We do not make decisions regarding the data collected on LinkedIn’s page by means of tracking technologies.

Do we use cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are sent by us to your end device’s browser during your visit to our websites and stored there. As an alternative to the use of cookies, information may also be stored in your browser’s local storage. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies and/or local storage (technically necessary cookies). Other cookies, however, enable us to perform various analyses so that, for example, we can recognise the browser you use when you visit our website again and transmit various information to us (non-essential cookies). With the help of cookies, we can, among other things, make our online offering more user-friendly and effective, for example by tracking your use of our website and determining your preferred settings (e.g. country and language settings). Where third parties process information via cookies, they collect the information directly via your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device. They cannot execute programs and do not contain viruses.
We inform you about the respective services for which we use cookies in the individual processing operations. Detailed information about the cookies used can be found in the cookie settings or in this website’s consent manager.
Duration of storage of personal data
The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the period has expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for contract performance or contract initiation.
We process and store your personal data only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or insofar as this is provided for by the legal provisions to which our company is subject.
If the purpose of storage ceases to apply or a prescribed retention period expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with statutory provisions.
Facebook Pixel

In cases where no adequacy decision of the European Commission exists (including US companies that are not certified under the EU–U.S. DPF), we have agreed other appropriate safeguards within the meaning of Articles 44 et seq. GDPR with the recipients of the data. Unless otherwise stated, these are the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses pursuant to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021. A copy of these Standard Contractual Clauses can be accessed at: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32021D0914&from=DE.
In addition, prior to such a transfer to a third country, we obtain your consent pursuant to Article 49(1) sentence 1(a) GDPR, which you grant via the consent manager (or other forms, registrations, etc.). We note that, in the case of transfers to third countries, there may be specific risks that are unknown in detail (e.g. the processing of data by security authorities of the third country, the exact scope and consequences for you of which we do not know, over which we have no influence and of which you may not become aware under certain circumstances).
