For this reason, the relevant standards are already mentioned at this time in this data protection and privacy statement.
This statement provides you with information on all aspects of our offering that are relevant in terms of data protection and privacy, particularly:
the collection and storage of your personal data,
the transfer and use of your personal data, and
your rights
1. Which personal data we collect and store
If you utilise our offering and/or use our website by filling out the entry fields and/or contact us and/or merely visit our website, we may collect personal data as follows:
Personal data that you provide us by utilising our offering and/or using our website may be collected. If one or several provisions of this Agreement should be or become lawfully ineffective, this shall not impair the validity of the other provisions. The invalid provision will be replaced as quickly as possible with another provision most closely approximating the economic intent and content of the invalid provision. Personal data includes your name, e-mail address, phone number, and any interests, etc., that may be identified in surveys.
To the extent when you enter into a contract on our website or issue a declaration of intent, we store the information for an order and, if any, payment details associated therewith.
To the extent that you answer any questions regarding your preferences, interests, user behaviour, etc. after participating in the prize draw and/or your interests become apparent because you sign up for a sample subscription or similar items, we will also store this information to establish a personal user profile. This user profile enables interest-driven, optimised direct marketing which seems reasonable for both sides to ensure that you will only receive offers that are relevant to you and fit within the context of your lifestyle and available purchasing power. For example, if you have provided your gas provider and have consented for third parties to contact you, we will work with third party brand partners to send you a utility quote tailored to your needs “ thus saving you time researching the entire market.
We also collect and process personal data that you provide to us by contacting us.
Personal data that may be collected through your visit to our page, particularly data traffic, location and time information, IP addresses, browser and device ID and other communication information provided through the use of your computer.

The data collected during registration to the prize draw is used to conduct the prize draw, determine the winner, handle the awarding of prizes and notify the winner and transmit the prize (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR).
If, after the conclusion of the prize draw, declarations of intent for purchase, service, or other contracts with external companies are received, the data collected, where applicable, and further data collected on a contract-specific basis will be disclosed to the external company or companies in question. Otherwise those companies cannot use the data to establish or perform a contract or contracts (Article 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR).
Based on the participation agreement that is entered into and in the event of an online participation in a prize draw, DQ Leads B.V. will collect and process your personal data. This agreement requires that you provide your personal data if and insofar as you wish to participate in our prize draw offering. The data processing takes place for both our own direct marketing (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR) as well as for our sponsors to also enable them to engage in individual, demand-driven direct marketing that is tailored to you via the channels of e-mail, push notifications, mail, phone, and text message (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR).
Processing your personal data would be in accordance with declaration of consent for advertising and marketing purposes, via phone, text messages, email, push notifications, mail and/or the disclosure of data for direct marketing purposes for the mentioned sponsors of the prize draw that may have been issued separately; this also takes place within the scope of our legitimate interests as established by your relevant consent (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
DQ Leads B.V. assumes that the consent to receive advertising by phone, text message, e-mail, push notifications and mail from us and our sponsors, which is to be declared separately, also constitutes consent for purposes of data protection and privacy law to the processing of your personal data with the result that “ in addition “ the relevant, aforementioned data processing is also permitted pursuant to (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).
It may be the case that an analysis of your affinities, interests, and preferences is performed before the data is used for direct marketing and/or disclosed to sponsors. To this end, the answers that you will provide after registering to the prize draw may also be analysed, and a profile may be established in order to enable more targeted performance of direct marketing measures by us and our sponsors, if any (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Using the data obtained, particularly those from our surveys following the prize draw registration page, we will create a user profile of you in order to be able to offer you an interest-driven service that is geared towards your individual needs and requirements. By creating this profile, we may categorise personal aspects, such as your interests and preferences, through automated processing of your data in order to make it possible for both us and our sponsors to send you exclusive advertising and offers that match you profile.
DQ Leads B.V. frequently receives provided that your end device supports this function “ confirmation of which e-mails from us you open and how you proceed with the e-mail. This helps us to understand your interests and supports us in making the offers more useful interesting, tailor-made to you in the future (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Assertion, if any, of your rights (Article 6(1)(c) and (f) GDPR) as provided in Sec. 5 of this data protection and privacy statement also leads to collection and processing of your personal data.
Disclosure of your personal data may take place in cases in which we are under a legal obligation of disclosure (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR) or to the extent that disclosure should be necessary to enforce other rights/demands or for purposes of legal defence, if and insofar as these are based on the legitimate interests of the organiser or other third parties (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). The same applies in the event of (also partially) purchase or sale of business assets and/or other assets, in the event that our business is otherwise acquired by a third party, in the event of initiation of insolvency proceedings, or if a request for initiation of insolvency proceedings is denied for lack of sufficient assets (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
