Privacy policy
The German text is legally binding.
Last updated: 1 September 2026
This notice explains, under Articles 13 and 14 GDPR, how personal data are processed on this website and in the client portal.
1. Controllers
Joint controllers (Article 26 GDPR) of this website:
V·E·R·G·I· Osnabrück KG, Steuerberatungsgesellschaft
Hannoversche Str. 7, 49084 Osnabrück, Germany · HRA 202804
VERGI Osnabrück Wirtschaftsberatung GmbH
Hannoversche Str. 7, 49084 Osnabrück, Germany · HRB 204178
Managing director: Ahmet Kocbay
Telephone: +49 541 3502005
Email: info@vergi-osnabrueck.de
Tax matters are handled by the KG; accounting, payroll and business advisory by the GmbH. Enquiries to the shared inbox may reach both entities where allocation requires it.
No data-protection officer is named to us. Address data-protection requests to the email above.
2. Hosting and server logs
The site is served from a web host (FTP). The provider and server location will be added once released for publication. We use providers in the EU or with a GDPR-adequate level of protection.
Access generates technical logs (IP address, time, URL, referrer, browser, status code). Purpose: delivery, stability, abuse detection. Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Retention: usually a few days unless needed to investigate incidents.
3. Cookies and local storage
No tracking cookies and no analytics are used unless later added (this notice would then change).
The language choice (DE / TR / EN) may be stored in the browser (localStorage) so the switcher remembers it. Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and section 25(2) TDDDG for strictly necessary storage. No consent banner is shown for this necessary storage alone.
4. Contact form, email and telephone
If you use the form, write to info@vergi-osnabrueck.de or call, we process the data you provide (name, company, telephone, subject, message).
Purpose: handling the enquiry and, where applicable, preparing a mandate. Legal bases: Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contract), Article 6(1)(a) (consent checkbox), Article 6(1)(f) (general enquiries).
Enquiries that do not become a mandate are generally deleted after 6 months. If a mandate is concluded, professional and tax retention periods apply (typically 10 years).
5. Applications
Applications to info@vergi-osnabrueck.de are processed for recruitment (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, section 26 BDSG). If there is no hire, files are generally deleted after 6 months unless you consent to a longer talent pool.
6. Client portal
The public portal is initially a visual interface without a live login. Once client access is in production, we will process login data, documents, deadlines, messages and master data for mandate performance (Article 6(1)(b)) and legal duties (Article 6(1)(c)). Tax files may involve special categories (Article 9); processing then follows the tax-advisory mandate and statutory permission.
Server location and encryption details will be specified when the production processor is known. We do not make unverifiable security claims.
7. Recipients
Staff of both firms as needed; hosting and IT under Article 28 GDPR; public authorities where the law requires. No third-country transfer is intended; if one becomes necessary, Articles 44 et seq. GDPR apply.
8. Your rights
Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection (Articles 15–21 GDPR). Consent may be withdrawn with effect for the future. Professional secrecy and statutory retention may limit these rights.
Complaint: The State Commissioner for Data Protection of Lower Saxony, Prinzenstraße 5, 30159 Hannover, Germany, https://lfd.niedersachsen.de
9. Automated decisions
No automated decision-making including profiling under Article 22 GDPR.
10. Changes
We update this notice when processing, technology or the law changes. The German version published on this site prevails.
