The protection of your privacy is very important to 7SA. Collected data, if any, is processed according to the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), and other laws that may be applicable to electronic business transactions in Germany.
When you contact us through one of the email addresses on our website, the processing of personal data by our firm is usually necessary for the performance of a contract with you or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) or to safeguard our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), for example regarding our accountability to the tax authorities.
In other cases, we will obtain your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR prior to data processing. You will find detailed information on data processing in the following explanations. 7SA kindly invites you to take note thereof and, if necessary, to print or save them.

5. Social Plugins
Our website uses so-called social plugins, i.e. functions that allow you to share specific content of our website with your friends in various social networks, in particular Twitter and LinkedIn (hereafter “Service” or “Services”). When using these social plugins, the corresponding service providers may collect personal data. When you use a social plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the corresponding Service, allowing the Service to, inter alia, retrieve your IP address, regardless of whether or not you are registered and/or logged in with the specific Service. If you are registered and logged in, the service will automatically assign your action to your user profile. If you wish to avoid this, please log out of the service before taking the relevant action on this site. To the extent that you enter your personal account data when logging in to a Service using the social plugins on this site, we do not collect or process the corresponding data. Instead, you transmit the data directly to the corresponding Service. We have no knowledge of the contents of the data submitted to the Service.
5.1 LinkedIn
As part of our online offering, we are using the marketing functions (“LinkedIn Insight Tag”) of the LinkedIn network. The provider is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Each time one of our pages that contains LinkedIn functions is accessed, a connection is made with LinkedIn’s servers. LinkedIn is informed that you have visited our website with your IP address. We can use the LinkedIn Insight tag to analyze the success of our campaigns on LinkedIn or determine target groups for these on the basis of the interaction of the users with our website. If you are registered with LinkedIn, LinkedIn can allocate your interactions with our website to your user account. Also, if you click on the LinkedIn “recommend button” and are logged in to your LinkedIn account, it is possible for LinkedIn to allocate your visit to our website to you and to your user account.
