Privacy policy - Smart Region Application

Privacy policy for the application process of the Scaleup4EuropeSmart Region Lab program, led by XPRENEURS Incubator at UnternehmerTUM GmbH

We would like to inform you below about the processing of personal data in connection with your application to participate in the Scaleup4Europe Smart Region Lab program.

Purpose of the processing

Your personal data is required to apply for the Scaleup4EuropeSmart Region Lab program.

We use the platform "AcceleratorApp" to collect and process applications for the ScaleUp4Europe Smart Region Lab (hereinafter: "Smart Region Application Process"). "AcceleratorApp Ltd" is a service which is based in Canada. The European Commission has adopted a so-called adequacy decision for Canada. This means that it has determined that personal data in Canada enjoys adequate protection comparable to European data protection law. Thus, personal data may be transferred without further authorization.

We have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider of "AcceleratorApp" that complies with the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR.

Controller

The data controller for data processing directly related to the conduct of "Smart Region Application Process" is:

UnternehmerTUM GmbH
Lichtenbergstr. 6
85748 Garching
Germany

Note: If you access the "AcceleratorApp" website, the provider of the "AcceleratorApp" is responsible for data processing. Use of this website is necessary for submitting your application for the Smart Region Lab & for participating in the evaluation process.

What data is processed?

Various types of data are processed when using the "AcceleratorApp". The scope of the data also depends on the data you provide during the "Smart Region Application process".

The following personal data are subject to processing:

User details:

First name, last name, position/responsibility at the startup, time/engagement at the startup, e-mail address, telephone number, password (if "single sign-on" is not used).

Co-founder details: (Required for all co-founders of the startup) First name, last name, position/responsibility at startup, time/engagement at the startup, e-mail address (optional).

In order to participate in the "Smart Region Application Process", you must at least complete all required questions in the application form which includes details about your co-founders and your startup.

Scope of the processing

We use the "AcceleratorApp" to collect and manage the "Smart Region Lab Application Process".

In order to submit your application for the Smart Region Lab you must register on the “AcceleratorApp” with your startup name, first name, last name, email address and password ("single sign-on" with Google is also available).

Legal basis for data processing

Article 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as our legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, the processing is based on Article 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. If we are subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR.

Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47, sentence 2 of the GDPR).
