With the following data protection information we inform you about the processing of personal data on the Atlas websites of KPMG as well as about the rights of data subjects.
This privacy policy applies exclusively to the collection, processing and use of personal data within the framework of the Atlas Portal. General data protection information on the processing of personal data within the framework of our general business activities and services (e.g. assessments/events) that can be commissioned via Atlas can be accessed here. |
In order to fulfil the purposes listed under the abovementioned regulations, these following personal data may be disclosed:
Legally standardized data protection contracts are agreed with all service providers which we use as processors pursuant to Article 28 EU GDPR and the service providers first undergo an IT security assessment.
Personal data may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) only if there is an appropriate level of data protection within the meaning of Art. 44 et seqq. GDPR.
Each member firm of KPMG International has undertaken to adhere to the minimum standards of data protection. Their main obligations in this regard are contained in the KPMG Data Protection Guidelines and in the contractual clauses on data protection (Inter Firm Data Transfer Agreement – IFDTA) of KPMG International. The IFDTA includes in particular also all modules from the current EU standard contractual clauses (EU Model Clauses), which were published by the European Commission on June 4, 2021, pursuant to Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR. The IFDTA obligates the corresponding KPMG member firms around the world to observe these rules in the case of non-EU/EEA data transfers.
Also in the case of KPMG-external service providers (including the usage of cloud services) outside of the EEA, the appropriate level of data protection required pursuant to EU data protection law is ensured by complying with the requirements set forth under Article 45 et seqq. EU GDPR, normally by agreeing standard data protection clauses (EU model clauses) within the meaning of Article 46 (2)(c) EU GDPR.
KPMG uses so-called cookies for the purposes listed below. A cookie is a text file that is sent from the web server to the browser and processes information about the website visitor (e.g. IP address), his settings and the devices used.
Strictly necessary cookies | These cookies are essential to ensure that the user can navigate and use certain functions of the website. Without them, essential parts of the website cannot be used. Accordingly, these cookies are always activated. They are only used when you visit our website and are usually deleted when you close your browser. They are also used to call up the optimized website display when accessed with a mobile device, so that, for example, your data volume is not unnecessarily consumed. The cookies also facilitate the page change from http to https, so that the security of the transferred data remains guaranteed. |
Functional Cookies | Functional cookies enable the website to store information such as the user name or language selection and to offer the user improved and personalized functions based on this information. The information collected is only evaluated in aggregated form. Since we want to offer you a website that is designed for optimal user-friendliness, we recommend that you activate these cookies. Functional cookies are also used, for example, to activate the functions you desire, such as the playback of videos. |
Performance cookies | These cookies collect data about user behavior. On this basis, the website is adjusted to the general user behaviour in terms of content and functionality. The information collected is generally processed in aggregated form, unless a user has expressly consented to a personal evaluation. Performance cookies are only used to improve the performance of the website and to tailor the online experience to the users' needs. |
Marketing cookies | Marketing cookies are used to offer content that is more relevant to the user and adapted to his interests. They are also used to measure and control the effectiveness of campaigns. For example, they register whether a user has visited a website or not, and which content has been used. This information is used to create a personal content profile so that only content that is interesting to you is displayed. If you withdraw your consent to marketing cookies, this does not mean that you will see and receive less content as a result. It rather means that the content you see and receive is not tailored to your individual needs. |
Social-media-cookies | Social media cookies are used to offer content that is more relevant to the user and adapted to his interests. They are also used to measure and control the effectiveness of campaigns. For example, they register whether a user has visited a website or not, as well as which content has been used. This information is used to create an interest profile so that only content that is interesting to you is displayed.

The legal basis for data processing by cookies is Art. 6 para. 1a, f DSGVO, i.e. the consent of the website visitor or a legitimate interest of KPMG. A legitimate interest in the use of cookies in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1f DSGVO for KPMG lies in particular in the use of absolutely necessary cookies (see above).

KPMG uses the following third-party cookies and analytics tools on these websites in detail:
(1) Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ('Google').
Google Analytics uses cookies, i.e. text files that are saved in the browser and allow analysis of use of the website
by the user. The information generated by the cookie on use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the US and stored there. In the event of activation of IP anonymisation on this website, the user's IP address is first truncated
by Google within member states of the European Union or other Contracting Parties of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a server of Google in the US and truncated there.
Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to analyse use of these web pages, to compile reports on website activity and to provide further services related to website and internet use for the website operator.
The IP address sent by the browser used within the scope of Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data.
Each user can prevent the storage of cookies by means of browser settings; moreover, the collection and transmission of
data generated by the cookie and relating to use of the website (including your IP address) to Google as well as processing of this data by Google can be prevented by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB

Please note also that on this website Google Analytics was expanded by the code 'anonymizeIp' in order to ensure anonymised collection of IP addresses (so-called 'IP masking').
