Leadspicker's Services are defined as the sales engagement platform "Leadspicker," provided to clients based on Terms of Service of  Leadspicker platform that is offered, made available, and facilitated through the website www.leadspicker.com. Any services or content provided through a website or app that is owned and operated by a third party are not considered part of Leadspicker's "Services."

I. Opening statements

This Privacy Policy covers the handling of non-public, personally identifiable information received through the website www.leadspicker.com or in relation to the Services, including personal data of data subjects.

We process personal data in order to fulfill contracts with clients and on the basis of legitimate interest. We only process it to the extent necessary for the purpose. We process and manage personal data through computer systems and the computer systems of our processors.

Our legitimate interest is therefore to enter into a contract with a client and to provide the client with Services, and furthermore, after the contract has been fulfilled, it is a legitimate interest to protect our rights arising from our relationship with the client.

The data provided is an essential element of the contract and must therefore be provided in order to conclude such a contract. The only ramification of non-providing of personal data is the inability to conclude and fulfill the contract and to provide Services.

According to Art. 21 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a data subject can express an objection. In case a data subject expresses an objection against the processing of personal data for the abovementioned purposes, the controller shall not process personal data of the data subject for such purposes anymore.

Leadspicker may carry out automated individual decision-making within the meaning of Article 22 of the GDPR.
