We take the protection of your data seriously. As a trusted intermediary between buyers and sellers, absolute discretion and security of your data are integrated into all our business processes. Our privacy policies comply with the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and data protection laws.
Circlesta UG is committed to treating your personal data confidentially. These privacy provisions outline the principles for the collection and utilization of data applicable to the E-commerce order management website (the "website"). Please note that these provisions do not apply to other online or offline websites, products, or services provided by Circlesta UG.
1. Collection of Personal and Institutional Data
We will notify you when we require personal data that identifies you ("personal data") or when you allow us to contact you to provide a service or execute a transaction you have requested. This may include requesting information about products and services, subscribing to email newsletters, establishing connections with a restricted-access website, or registering for an event. The personal data we collect may include names, titles, the name of the company or organization, private or business email addresses, private or business phone numbers, private or business addresses, and information about your professional role, including data related to your company.
Certain data about your visit may be collected on the website, such as the name of the internet service provider and the internet protocol address (IP address) through which you accessed the internet, date and time of your access to the website, the pages you access on the website, and the internet address of the website from which you directly linked to our website. These data are utilized to enhance the website, analyze trends, and manage the website.
2. Use of Personal Data
The personal data collected on this website is utilized for the operation of the website and the provision of the service(s) or to carry out the transaction(s) you have requested or authorized.
To support these purposes, Circlesta UG may use personal data to provide more effective customer service, enhance the website, and improve all associated products or services of Circlesta UG. This includes simplifying the use of the website so that you do not have to enter the same data multiple times or customizing the website to your personal preferences or interests.
We may use personal data to deliver important information about the product or service you are using, including crucial notifications. Additionally, with your consent, we may send you information about other Circlesta UG products and services and/or share data with Circlesta UG so they can provide you with information about their products and services. Circlesta UG occasionally engages other companies to provide limited services for us, such as website hosting, packaging, shipping, responding to customer inquiries about products and services, and sending information about our products or other new services. We only share with such companies the personal data they need to provide the service. They are obligated to maintain the confidentiality of the data and may not use it for other purposes.
Circlesta UG may disclose personal data if required by law or if Circlesta UG believes in good faith that such action is necessary to comply with legal requirements or court proceedings initiated against Circlesta UG, to protect the rights or property of Circlesta UG and our website, or to act under urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of Circlesta UG employees and representatives, users of Circlesta UG products or services, or members of the public.
3. Control of Your Personal Data
Unless otherwise specified in these privacy policies, the personal data you provide on the website will not be disclosed to other companies outside of Circlesta UG without your permission.
4. Access to Your Personal Data
You can review and modify the personal data and details of preferred contacts you have provided on this website by sending an email to the Data Protection Officer (see below) or by writing to the following address:

5. Security of Your Personal Data
Circlesta UG is committed to ensuring the security of your personal data. We employ a variety of security technologies and procedures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For instance, we store the personal data you provide on computer servers with restricted access located in controlled facilities.
You can make inquiries at any time through our homepage www.circlesta.com. Requests made through our homepage are processed via a secure connection (encrypted with SSL - Secure Sockets Layer).
However, it is possible that as a customer, you may need to submit additional documents for your application at a later stage. This can be done either via email or through conventional mail. If you choose to use the electronic mail route (email), we would like to advise you as a precautionary measure that this is done over an unsecured connection, and therefore, documents (usually in PDF format) sent to us are not secure. This is not within the responsibility and liability scope of Circlesta UG. In case of doubt, it is advisable to choose the conventional mail route.
6. Right to Information, Correction, Deletion, and Blocking of Data
Personal data provided to us through our website will only be stored for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was entrusted to us. If you no longer agree with the storage of your personal data or if it has become inaccurate, we will, upon corresponding instruction, arrange for the deletion or blocking of your data or make the necessary corrections (to the extent permitted by applicable law). Upon request, you are entitled to receive free information about all personal data we have stored about you. In the aforementioned cases, please contact the responsible data protection officer directly (address see below).
7. Deletion Periods for Personal Data
The deletion of personal data takes place after the expiration of legal, statutory, or contractual retention periods. If data is not affected by these, it will be deleted when its agreed purpose of use ceases to exist.
8. Newsletter
If you wish to receive the newsletter, we require a valid email address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address or that the owner agrees to receive the newsletter. No additional data will be collected. You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time.
