Privacy Policy

We take the protection of your personal data seriously. This website is deliberately kept lean: it sets no cookies, embeds no tracking services, and processes only the data necessary for secure operation and for handling your enquiry.

1. Controller

Controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

Blackpine Capital GmbH
Managing Director: Peter Richarz
Am Bierenbonnen 7, 53604 Bad Honnef, Germany
Email: hello@blackpine.vc

2. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by an external service provider: united-domains AG, Gautinger Straße 10, 82319 Starnberg, Germany. The provider processes the data generated when you visit the site on our behalf (processing on behalf of a controller pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR).

Each time the site is accessed, the server automatically collects so-called server log files transmitted by your browser:

• IP address of the requesting device
• date and time of access
• page or file requested
• browser type and operating system used
• volume of data transferred and status message

This data is used solely for the stable and secure operation of the website. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a technically faultless presentation and in security (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Log files are deleted automatically after a short period, unless they are needed to investigate malfunctions or misuse.

3. Contacting us

If you contact us by email (hello@blackpine.vc), we process the data you provide (email address, name, content of your message) in order to handle your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (initiation or performance of a contract) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (handling your request). We delete this data as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose and no statutory retention obligations apply.

4. Fonts

This website uses fonts embedded locally on the server (self-hosting). When the page loads, no connection is made to third-party servers (such as Google) and no IP address is transmitted to third parties.

5. Cookies and tracking

This website sets no cookies and uses no analytics, tracking or advertising services. No profiling and no automated decision-making take place.

6. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the following rights:

• access to the data stored about you (Art. 15)
• rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16)
• erasure (Art. 17) and restriction of processing (Art. 18)
• data portability (Art. 20)
• objection to processing (Art. 21)

An informal message to hello@blackpine.vc is sufficient to exercise them.

7. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for us is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia (LDI NRW), Kavalleriestraße 2–4, 40213 Düsseldorf, Germany.

8. Status and changes

This privacy policy is dated June 2026. We will update it if our data processing or the legal situation changes.
