The definitions and terms are based on the GDPR, the BDSG and other data protection regulations. Particularly the definitions of Art. 4 and Art. 9 GDPR shall apply.

IV. General principles and data subject rights

1. Scope of the processing of personal data

We process your personal data only to the following extent, as far as this is necessary for the provision of our web and online services, including a functioning website:

2. Legal framework

Where personal data is processed on the basis of the data subject's consent, the legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

Where personal data are processed for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR; this also applies to processing necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

If personal data are processed for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.

In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR.

If processing is carried out to protect our legitimate interests or those of a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subjects are not overridden; Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR is the legal basis for the processing.

3. Possible recipients of personal data

In order to provide our web and online services as well as for the general provision of our services, we sometimes use IT service providers, IT developers, external consultants, cloud or archiving service providers who may act on our behalf and according to instructions in the context of the provision of services (so-called order processors). These service providers may receive personal data or come into contact with personal data in the course of providing the service and constitute third parties or recipients within the meaning of the GDPR.

In such a case, we ensure that our service providers take sufficient security measures, that appropriate technical and organizational measures are in place and that processing operations are carried out in such a way that they comply with the relevant data protection provisions and ensure the protection of the rights of data subjects (cf. Art. 28 GDPR).

In addition, we process your personal data within various specialist departments of Leopard Biosciences that are involved in the execution of the respective business processes; to the extent permitted, we also process data outside of the execution of the business for advertising purposes. We may also be obliged by law to make our collected data available to public authorities (e.g. tax authorities, state criminal investigation authorities, social security authorities). As far as legally permissible, we process personal data with cooperation partners, sponsors and business conference participants.

4. Processing of personal data in third countries

Your personal data is generally processed within the European Union (hereinafter referred to as “EU”) or the European Economic Area (hereinafter referred to as “EEA”). Only in exceptional cases (e.g., in connection with the transfer of personal data within Leopard Biosciences) may information be transferred to third countries. Third countries are countries outside the EU and/or EEA in which an adequate level of data protection in accordance with European requirements cannot be assumed without further ado.

Insofar as the information transmitted also includes personal data and is not transmitted pseudonymised or anonymised, we ensure before such a transmission that an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed in the respective third country or at the respective recipient in the third country. This can result from a so-called "adequacy decision" of the European Commission or be ensured by using the so-called "EU standard contractual clauses".

5. Data deletion and storage time

Personal data of the data subjects shall be deleted if the data is no longer required for the respective processing purposes or if the legal basis for the storage no longer applies. Instead of deletion, the data may be stored under restriction of processing if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions, in particular, e.g.

Personal data of the data subjects shall be deleted if the data is no longer required for the respective processing purposes or if the legal basis for the storage no longer applies. Instead of deletion, the data may be stored under restriction of processing if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions, in particular, e.g.

The data will be deleted at the latest when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless further storage by us is necessary and there is a legal basis for this.

6. Data categories

a) Master data: Master data is data about your company and / or your person that you provide to us. This includes in particular company, first name, last name, e-mail address and telephone number.

1. Description and scope of data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our systems automatically record data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer. In particular, the following log files are processed:

This data is not merged with other data sources.

2. Purpose and legal basis of data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address and possibly other log files by the systems each time our website is called up is necessary to enable the website to be made available to your computer. This is required for addressing the communication traffic between the user and our web and/or online offer or is necessary for the use of our web and/or online offer. The legal basis for this data processing - i.e. for the duration of your website visit - is Art. 6 Para. 1 (b) or f of the GDPR and § 96 TKG (Telecommunications Act). The processing and storage of the IP address and log files beyond the communication process is carried out for the purpose of ensuring the functionality of our web and online offers, for the purpose of optimising these offers and for ensuring the security of our information technology systems. The legal basis for storing the IP address for these purposes beyond the communication process is Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR or § 109 TKG.

3. Length of storage

The data is stored for as long as it is necessary to achieve the aforementioned processing purposes. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session - i.e. the website visit - has ended. Any additional storage of log files including the IP address for the purpose of system security and optimization of our web and online offers is carried out for an appropriate period of time; thereafter, the log and meta data are automatically deleted.

4.Option to object

The collection of log files for the provision of our website, including their storage within the aforementioned limits, is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website and the individual functions stored there. There is therefore no possibility for the user of the website to object. This does not apply to the processing of log files for analysis purposes. Here, the possibility of objection - depending on the web analysis tools used and the type of data analysis (personal / anonymous / pseudonymous) - is governed by section IV. 7. (f) of this data protection declaration.

VI. Contact us

Insofar as data is no longer required for the fulfilment of contractual or statutory obligations, including commercial and tax retention obligations, as well as for the pursuit of legitimate interests, i.e. for the preservation of evidence within the framework of the statutory limitation provisions, it is regularly deleted.

VIII. Data processing for the purpose of newsletters, advertising, marketing and PR work

In addition to the purely informational use of our website, personal data may be processed for the purpose of advertising and/or marketing measures (e.g. newsletters), to conduct customer satisfaction surveys and for the purpose of press and public relations (hereinafter collectively referred to as "marketing").

1. Newsletter

On our website there is the possibility to subscribe to a newsletter. Subscription to our newsletter is free of charge and voluntary. If you would like to take advantage of the newsletter offered by us, the following "newsletter data" will be processed by us:

In order to be able to check whether you are the owner of the specified e-mail address or whether its owner agrees to receive the newsletter, we send an automated e-mail to the specified e-mail address after the first registration step (so-called double opt-in). Only after confirmation of the newsletter registration via a link in the confirmation e-mail do we include the specified e-mail address in our distribution list. We do not collect any further data beyond the e-mail address and the details for confirming the registration.

If you do not confirm your registration, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted. In addition, we store your IP addresses and the times of registration and confirmation.

Your data is processed exclusively for the purpose of sending the newsletter you have ordered. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR or § 7 UWG (Law against Unfair Competition) (see below).

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. Your e-mail address and other "newsletter data" will therefore be stored for as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active. Your consent and order for the newsletter as well as your revocation of consent or unsubscription will be stored for a period of two years after the revocation of consent becomes effective for evidence purposes. Beyond that, we only store personal data for the assertion of or defence against legal claims or as long as legal obligations to store exist.

You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can execute the revocation by clicking on the link provided with every newsletter e-mail.

2. Use of personal data for advertising and marketing purposes / customer surveys

Your personal data will only be used for the purpose of advertising and/or marketing approaches as well as for carrying out customer satisfaction surveys if you have given your consent or if there is another legal basis that permits an advertising and/or marketing approach even without consent. As far as legally permissible, we reserve the right to address customers for advertising purposes on the basis of publicly accessible data and/or address data of third parties, which they extract from publicly accessible sources (e.g. data from directory media, the Internet, company homepages, public registers or similar). The objection for marketing purposes and direct advertising is governed by section IV. 7 (f) of this data protection declaration.

In the context of data transmission for advertising and marketing approaches / customer surveys, the following data in particular are processed:

a) The legal basis for advertising and/or marketing measures based on explicit consent is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; the explanations on consent under IV. 7. (g) apply accordingly.

b) The legal basis for the use of personal data for the purpose of direct mail advertising is Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR (legitimate interests); the legitimate interest here is to contact potential customers for the purpose of direct advertising for our products and services.

c) The legal basis for advertising and/or marketing measures by telephone call is Section 7 (2) No. 2 UWG; this requires express consent in the case of consumers, and at least presumed consent in the case of other market participants; for the requirement of express consent, see above and Section IV. 7. (g).

d) For advertising and/or marketing measures via e-mail for the purpose of direct advertising for our own similar goods or services, the legal basis is Section 7 (3) UWG, provided that we have

(i) we have received your e-mail address in connection with the provision of a service,
(ii) you have not objected to the use of your e-mail address for the purpose of direct marketing, and
(iii) when collecting the e-mail address and at each use, we clearly inform you that you may object to such use of your e-mail address at any time (for the right to object, see section IV. 7 (f)).

Personal data is stored and used for advertising purposes for an indefinite period of time, depending on the respective legal basis for the advertising measure (consent or legitimate interests), until you have objected to the use of your data for advertising purposes or you have revoked your corresponding consent.

You can revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time with effect for the future without giving reasons. The revocation can be declared by telephone, in writing or by e-mail (for example to dpo@leopard.bio).

You may object to processing on the basis of legitimate interests at any time; a right of objection exists in particular in the case of profiling pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR.

If a revocation and/or an objection is made, the personal data will no longer be processed for the respective purposes concerned; this does not include the processing of data that is still required for the purpose of fulfilling a contract (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR), including statutory retention obligations, and/or if the data is still required in the context of legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) (e.g. in the case of an objection to advertising, the processing of data in a so-called blacklist in order to prevent future advertising approaches).

We will be happy to provide you with further information on the handling of our data within the area of marketing and/or the sources of our data upon request; please contact our data protection officer, whose contact details can be found in section II.

3. Press and PR work

In the area of press and public relations, we collect and process master data, contract implementation data or third-party data from journalists and/or press representatives for the purpose of press and public relations work. This may include, in particular, the provision of press information, the processing of press enquiries, contacting representatives of the press or organising and inviting them to (press) events. The legal basis for such data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (performance of contract / implementation of pre-contractual measures), insofar as this is done to fulfil a corresponding agreement and/or in the context of a specific enquiry. Furthermore, data processing is carried out in the context of legitimate interests according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR; the legitimate interest in this case is the organization of press and public relations work for the benefit of Leopard Biosciences.

In all other respects, data processing is carried out on the basis of appropriate consent. The data subject can also revoke this consent at any time and without giving reasons for the future. In all other respects, the data subject shall be entitled to the rights set out in section IV (7).
