1. About us and this privacy policy

Inneq.health Investments GmbH offers strategy consulting services as well as M&A, corporate finance and financial advisory services mainly to companies active in the Life Sciences industries, in Europe and overseas – from start-ups, via family owned mid-sized companies to large, international corporates and financial/institutional investors.

Our website (www.inneq.health) (“our Website”) is operated by Inneq.health Investments GmbH (“we”, “our” or “us”) on behalf of our partners.
Each of our partners comes across and collects various personal information (also referred to as personal data) about individuals in the course of their business activities, for example information about business contacts, individuals working for, or investing in, clients, and other individuals connected with the transactions in which our partners are involved, or who interact with our partners in the course of their business. Each of our partners is a separate data controller in respect of any such personal information and is separately responsible for holding and using such personal information, in accordance with the relevant data protection laws applicable. As such, the privacy practices of our partners may vary among the countries in which they operate. This privacy policy gives you an overview of what information our partners may collect and for what purposes. In respect of personal data held by our partners, where there is any conflict between this privacy policy and the privacy policies of our partners, the policies of our partners will prevail.  Please contact the relevant partners for more details about how they collect and process personal information, and about the rights you may have in respect of your personal data under the relevant local laws. We are not responsible for, and disclaim all liability in respect of, compliance by our partners with any applicable data protection laws.

If you send us data via a contact form, this data is saved on our servers in the course of data back-up. Your data is used by us exclusively to process your request.

Your data is treated as strictly confidential.

If you make an enquiry by email or telephone, we or the relevant partner (if you make an enquiry directly with a partner) will collect your name and contact information, which will be used to respond to your enquiry. We or our partners (as applicable) may also keep records of such communications and/or add your contact details to our business database, if we (or the relevant partner) believe that we may have a good reason to contact you in the future. Therefore, we use personal data for the communication with only those users, who have explicitly requested being contacted, as well as for the execution of the services and products offered on this website. We do not pass your personal data to others without your approval.

If you send us personal data via email – and thus not via this website – we cannot guarantee any safe transmission or protection of your data. We recommend you, to never send confidential data via email.
