Who is responsible for your data
Pivot Partners GmbH, Ludwigstraße 8, 80539 München, Germany, is the controller for personal data collected through this website. Write to [email protected] about anything on this page.
We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer. We are below the thresholds that require one.
What we collect, and why
When you visit the site
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used. It records which pages are opened, which links and buttons are clicked, how far down a page you scroll, an approximate location derived from your IP address, and details of your browser and device. We use this to work out which of our writing people actually read. We do not use it to identify you, and we do not build advertising profiles from it.
When you email us
If you write to [email protected] we hold your message and your address for as long as we need to answer you and keep a record of the exchange.
When you fill in a form on LinkedIn
If you respond to one of our LinkedIn advertisements through a lead form, LinkedIn passes us what you submitted, which may include your name, work email address, employer and job title. We use it only to reply to the enquiry you made. We do not add you to a mailing list, and we do not sell or share it.
Legal basis
For analytics we rely on your consent, which we ask for before anything is set and which you can withdraw at any time. For correspondence we rely on our legitimate interest in replying to people who contact us, under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where an enquiry leads towards work, we rely on the steps necessary before entering a contract, under Article 6(1)(b).
See Cookies and how to switch analytics off below.
Who else processes your data
- Google Ireland Limited, for Google Analytics 4. Data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area under Google’s standard contractual clauses.
- Cloudflare, which serves and protects this site and obscures email addresses on our pages against scraping.
- Railway, which hosts the site.
- LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, where our advertising lead forms are hosted and submitted.
Cookies and how to switch analytics off
The first time you open this site we ask whether you are happy for us to run analytics. Nothing is set before you answer. Declining is one click, costs you nothing, and the site behaves exactly the same either way.
If you accept, Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser so it can recognise a returning visit. If you decline, it sets none. Cloudflare may set a cookie to keep the site secure and available, which the site needs in order to work at all.
Your answer is stored in your own browser and nowhere else. Clearing your browser data brings the question back, which is deliberate. You can also change your mind at any time by clearing site data, by blocking cookies in your browser settings, by installing Google’s opt-out browser add-on, or by writing to us and asking to be excluded.
How long we keep it
- Analytics. Event data for two months. User-level data for fourteen months, resetting when you return. Google deletes it after that.
- Enquiries that do not lead to work. Twenty-four months from our last exchange, then deleted.
- Client records. Contracts, invoices and related correspondence for the periods German commercial and tax law require.
- LinkedIn lead forms. Downloaded and deleted from LinkedIn within ninety days, then held under the enquiry rule above.
Your rights
If you are in the European Union or the United Kingdom you can ask what we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, restrict or object to how we use it, receive a copy in a portable form, and withdraw consent where we rely on it. You can also complain to a supervisory authority. Ours is the Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht.
If you are in South Africa, POPIA gives you broadly equivalent rights, and you may complain to the Information Regulator.
To exercise any of this, write to [email protected]. We will answer within thirty days.
Changes
We update this page when what we do changes.
