1. Purpose and Legal Basis of our Data Processing - Legitimate interest - Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR
We process your personal data based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, if we have a legitimate interest to do so. This means that our interest in processing your data is not overridden by your interests or your fundamental rights and freedoms. The purpose for which we have such a legitimate interest is to aggregate data on how many Website visitors are redirected to the app store and download the Trade Republic app, when you visit the Website on your smartphone, or are redirected to the Trade Republic website, when you visit the Website on your computer. Additionally, each time content on the Website is accessed, data is temporarily stored that may allow an identification. Temporary storage of the data is necessary to enable the provision of the website. Further storage in log files takes place to ensure the functionality of the website and the security of the IT systems.
2. Data Processing
When you just visit the Website we may process the following personal data:
- Date and time of access

- Host name of the accessing computer
- Website from which the website was accessed
- Message as to whether the retrieval was successful
- Information about the browser type and version used
When you visit the Website and you click on the QR Code or the tracking link we track that action for the purpose mentioned in section 1 using a referral link which adds a unique identifier to the URL of the Website before you are redirected to the app store or the Trade Republic website.
3. Recipients or categories of recipients
Your personal data is transmitted to adjust GmbH, Saarbrücker Str. 37A, 10405 Berlin, Germany (“Adjust”) when you use the QR Code. Trade Republic entered into a data processing agreement with the recipient in accordance with Art. 28 para. 3 GDPR. Under the conditions and in accordance with sections 1 and 2, we use Adjust to track whether you were transferred from the Website to the app store and downloaded our app, when visiting the Website on your smartphone, or to the Trade Republic website, when you visit the Website on your computer.
4. Transfer of personal data to third countries
We only transfer personal data to third parties outside of the European Economic Area, when at least one of the following transfer mechanisms is given to ensure an appropriate level of data protection:
- If the third country has been confirmed by the EU Commission to have an adequate level of data protection pursuant to Art. 45 (1) GDPR;
- Binding Corporate Rules have been established by the recipient;
- The EU Standard Data Protection Clauses as adopted by the European Commission have been agreed upon between us and the third party; or
