The success of our business depends on our ability to maintain the trust of our clients. We would like to inform you about the type of information we gather, what we do with it and how you can correct or modify the information you entrust us with.

It supplements national data privacy laws in each jurisdiction where EXANTE operates. The relevant national law will take precedence in the event of conflict with this Policy or where it has stricter requirements. The Policy must also be observed in the absence of corresponding national legislation.

1. Processing connected to contractual relationships:
   • Personal data of the clients can be processed to establish, execute or terminate a contract.
2. Data processing for advertising purposes:
   • Personal data can be processed for advertising purposes or market and opinion research, provided that this is consistent with the purpose for which the data was originally collected. Providing data for this purpose is voluntary and data subjects have an absolute right to object to such processing.
3. Consent to data processing:
   • Data processing pursuant to legal authorisation
4. Data processing pursuant to legitimate interests:
   • Before data is processed on this basis, it is necessary to determine whether there are any data subject interests that merit protection and whether these override EXANTE’s legitimate interests.

   • Sensitive personal data can be processed only if the law authorises it or the data subject has given explicit consent.
6. User data and internet:
   • Data subjects are informed of all personal data collected, processed and used on websites or in software or where user profiles (tracking) are created. Such may only be effected if permitted by law or with data subject consent.
