The CRX-Portal collects, processes and stores different personal and non-personal data during the registration process for the provision and delivery of our services and to comply with statutory and regulatory requirements. This comprises of, for example, the name, email address, as well as commercial address and phone numbers.
The protection of this sensitive information is of highest priority to us. All data is collected exclusively to comply with contractual and regulatory requirements and will not be used for any other purposes or forwarded to third parties. Consent to collect, process and store personal information to create user accounts is given to CRX Markets by duly authorized representatives of your company who execute the CRX-Portal access agreement.
All personal data in the CRX-Portal is viewable only by CRX admin users, but not by portal users of a third party (e.g. investors), it is processed for using the CRX-Portal until objection. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.
CRX Markets is legally required to screen buyers, suppliers and investors according to the German Money Laundering Act (Geldwäschegesetz). For this purpose, a Know Your Customer (KYC) questionnaire must be completed by the respective company who wants to use the CRX-Portal. By signing the KYC questionnaire, CRX Markets is authorized to investigate and verify the information contained in this questionnaire, as well as other documents, materials and information that are provided during the KYC process. Consent to collect, process and store (personal) data that are processed during the KYC process, as well as forwarding it to relevant financing partners, but exclusively for purposes of their own KYC screening, is granted by signing the KYC questionnaire. Financing partners in this context are exclusively banks and investors which are connected to the CRX-Portal as such.
Furthermore, it is confirmed to CRX Markets in the KYC questionnaire that each identified beneficial owner and/or each member of the representative body of the company agrees with the collection, processing, storage and forwarding of their personal information which is included in the collected KYC data. This personal data will be exclusively collected during the KYC screening and will not be visible anywhere in the CRX-Portal.
If agreed upon with the Buyer, CRX Market will approach new suppliers and handle supplier requests concerning the Supply Chain Finance program on behalf of the Buyer. This comprises of providing more information and legal documents, demonstrating the portal functionalities and answering contractual questions. For this purpose, the Buyer will provide CRX Markets with contact details of Suppliers selected to take part in the program (Art. 6 (1) (b) & (f) GDPR). CRX Markets processes these data for the only purpose of initially contacting the Supplier via email or in another electronic way. After the signing of contracts, CRX Markets will store these contact details of Suppliers for performance of a contract (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR) or will delete data at the end of each year.
CRX Markets collects, processes and stores data provided in the application process to review the applicant’s suitability for this position (or in some cases other relevant positions) and to conduct the recruiting process. Legal basis for the processing of such personal data in this application process is primarily § 26 of the German Data Protection Law (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz) in the newest version as of May 25, 2018. This paragraph states that the processing of personal data is lawful if required for making a decision regarding the employment relationship. If data needs to be stored after coming to a decision in the application process, e.g. for the purpose of prosecution, the sole purpose of such data processing is as laid down in Art. 6 GDPR, especially to exercise legitimate interests in line with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The interest of CRX Markets is the enforcement or rejection of rights.
If the application is rejected, personal data will be deleted every year. The purpose of data storage during this period is the enforcement or rejection of rights. In case the applicant has granted consent to storing their data to be considered for future openings, personal data will be stored until revocation of consent. If an applicant is hired, personal data will be transferred from the applicant database to the personnel records.
All application data will be reviewed by the Human Resources department and then forwarded internally to CRX employees directly involved in filling the vacancy. Generally, access to applicants’ data is restricted to employees who need to review it for the proper execution of the application process.
All rights of the data subject as listed in Chapter 2 apply to all personal data that is processed during the application process. Especially, all applicants can make use of their right of objection at any time without providing any reasoning and change or fully revoke their consent for the future. To do this, please write an informal email making such request to recruiting@crxmarkets.com.
To conduct marketing and sales (incl. after-sales) activities, CRX Markets collects, processes and stores personal data of existing and potential customers. Data collection is conducted either directly through the relevant contact person of a company (e.g. by exchanging business cards at trade fairs or other business events), or indirectly by means of internet research, business websites (LinkedIn, Bloomberg etc.) or through external service providers. All collected business contact data will be used for the sole purpose of initially contacting the potential customer and providing direct marketing materials of CRX products and services in line with Art. 6 (1) (f) & Rec. 47 GDPR.
All rights of the data subject as listed in Chapter 2 apply to all personal data that is processed during marketing and sales activities. In particular, all data subjects can make use of their right of objection at any time without providing any reasoning and change or fully revoke their consent for the future. To do this, please write an informal email making such request to sales@crxmarkets.com.
To facilitate handling of contact details of customers, CRX Markets uses a CRM tool to store all contact details. Currently, we use the CRM tool of the Zoho Corporation (Zoho Corp., 4141 Hacienda Drive, Pleasanton, California 94588, USA). We have entered into a so-called data processing agreement with the service provider which ensures that all data processing is conducted in compliance with GDPR requirements.

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on our websites. This service is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).
reCAPTCHA is used to check whether the data entered on our website (such as on a contact form) has been entered by a human or by an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, how long the visitor has been on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis will be forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses take place completely in the background. Website visitors are not advised that such an analysis is taking place.
Data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. CRX Markets has a legitimate interest in protecting its site from abusive automated crawling and spam.

Newsletter data
If you would like to receive one of our newsletters (e.g. in recruiting), we require a valid email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive this newsletter. No additional data is collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We only use this data to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
We will, therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO. You can revoke consent to the storage of your data and email address as well as their use for sending the newsletter at any time, e.g. through the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.

MailChimp
This website uses the services of MailChimp to send newsletters. This service is provided by Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
MailChimp is a service which organizes and analyzes the distribution of newsletters. If you provide data (e.g. your email address) to subscribe to our newsletter, it will be stored on MailChimp servers in the USA.
MailChimp is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. The Privacy Shield is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the US to ensure compliance with European privacy standards in the United States.
We use MailChimp to analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent by MailChimp, a file included in the email (called a web beacon) connects to MailChimp’s servers in the United States. This allows us to determine if a newsletter message has been opened and which links you click on. In addition, technical information is collected (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to a specific recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of our newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletters to your interests.
If you do not want your usage of the newsletter to be analyzed by MailChimp, you will have to unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a link in every newsletter we send. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter by contacting regulation@crxmarkets.com.
Data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time by unsubscribing to the newsletter. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.
The data provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to distribute the newsletter until you cancel your subscription when said data will be deleted from our servers and those of MailChimp. Data we have stored for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the CRX-Portal) remains unaffected.
For details, see the MailChimp privacy policy at https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.
