Recipients of personal data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, it is also necessary to transfer personal data to these external parties.

When using processors, we only disclose the personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, an agreement on joint processing is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent that you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the DSGVO, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, and to have it handed over to you or to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out insofar as it is technically feasible.

Information, correction and deletion

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and any other questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Abs. 1 DSGVO, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a member state.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the browser’s address line changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to advertising emails

The use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information being sent, for example via spam emails.

4. Data collection on this website

Cookies

Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.

Cookies may be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services provided by third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have different functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to evaluate user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions you request (e.g. for the shopping cart function), or for optimising the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO, unless another legal basis is stated. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. If consent to store cookies and comparable recognition technologies was requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 Abs. 1 TDDDG); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

CCM19

Our website uses CCM19 to obtain your consent for the storage of certain cookies on your end device or for the use of certain technologies and to document this in compliance with data protection requirements. The provider of this technology is Papoo Software & Media GmbH, Auguststr. 4, 53229 Bonn (“CCM19”).

When you enter our website, a connection to CCM19’s servers is established in order to obtain your consent and other declarations regarding cookie usage. CCM19 then stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to assign the consents you have given or their revocation to you. The data collected in this way is stored until you request its deletion, delete the CCM19 cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.

CCM19 is used to obtain the legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. c DSGVO.

Data processing

We have concluded a data processing agreement (AVV) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract required under data protection law, which ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the DSGVO.

Server log files

The provider of these pages collects and stores information automatically in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website – for this purpose, server log files must be collected.

Enquiries by email, telephone or fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry including all personal data arising from it (name, enquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO, provided that your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO) if this was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us via contact enquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Plugins and Tools

Google Fonts (local hosting)

This site uses so-called Google Fonts for the uniform display of fonts, which are provided by Google. The Google Fonts are installed locally. There is no connection to Google servers.

Further information on Google Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

6. Audio and Video Conferences

Data processing

We use, among other things, online conference tools to communicate with our customers. The tools we use are listed below. If you communicate with us via video or audio conference over the internet, your personal data will be collected and processed by us and by the provider of the respective conference tool.

The conference tools collect all data that you provide/use in order to use the tools (email address and/or your telephone number). Furthermore, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, the start and end time of participation, the number of participants, and other “context information” in connection with the communication process (metadata).

In addition, the tool provider processes all technical data required for online communication. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or speaker, and the type of connection.

If content is exchanged, uploaded or otherwise made available within the tool, it is also stored on the servers of the tool providers. Such content includes, in particular, cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared while using the service.

Please note that we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the tools used. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policies of the respective providers. Further information on data processing by the conference tools can be found in the privacy policies of the tools used, which we have listed below this text.

Purpose and legal bases

The conference tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to provide certain services to our customers (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO). Furthermore, the use of the tools serves the general simplification and acceleration of communication with us or our company (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO). If consent was requested, the relevant tools are used on the basis of that consent; consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

Storage period

Data collected directly by us via the video and conference tools will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage period of your data that is stored by the operators of the conference tools for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the conference tools directly.

7. Our own services

Handling applicant data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by email, post, or via an online application form). Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected in the course of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions, and that your data is treated strictly confidentially.

Scope and purpose of data collection

If you send us an application, we process the personal data associated with it (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary for the decision on establishing an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO (general initiation of a contract) and – if you have given consent – Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO. Consent can be revoked at any time. Within our company, your personal data is only passed on to persons who are involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

Retention period of the data

If we are unable to make you a job offer, if you decline a job offer, or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have transmitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO) for up to 6 months after the application process has ended (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data is then deleted and physical application documents are destroyed. The retention serves, in particular, as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place once the purpose for further retention no longer applies.

Longer retention may also take place if you have given corresponding consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal bases in each individual case are explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits disclosure. When using processors, we disclose our customers’ personal data only on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the time of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE, OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract, either in a commonly used, machine-readable format for yourself or to have it transmitted to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Information, Correction, and Deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time with questions regarding personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
  • If you have filed an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may only be processed — apart from storage — with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL/TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL/TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Advertising Emails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published as part of the legal notice obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information, such as spam emails.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

Our website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or automatic deletion occurs through your web browser.

Cookies may come from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you request (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies to measure the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is stated. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies was requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of that consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be withdrawn at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy.

CCM19

Our website uses CCM19 to obtain your consent for the storage of certain cookies on your end device or for the use of certain technologies and to document this in compliance with data protection regulations. The provider of this technology is Papoo Software & Media GmbH, Auguststr. 4, 53229 Bonn, Germany (hereinafter “CCM19”).

When you enter our website, a connection is established to CCM19’s servers in order to obtain your consent and other declarations regarding cookie usage. CCM19 then stores a cookie in your browser in order to assign the consents you have given or their withdrawal to you. The data collected in this way is stored until you request deletion, delete the CCM19 cookie yourself, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.

CCM19 is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1) sentence 1(c) GDPR.

Data Processing Agreement

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the service mentioned above. This is a contract required by data protection law that ensures the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website — for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

Inquiry by Email, Telephone, or Fax

If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data resulting from it (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass this data on without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if such consent was requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular statutory retention periods — remain unaffected.

5. Plugins and Tools

Google Fonts (local hosting)

This site uses so-called Google Fonts for the consistent display of fonts, which are provided by Google. The Google Fonts are installed locally. No connection to Google servers takes place.

Further information on Google Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

6. Audio and Video Conferences

Data Processing

We use, among other things, online conference tools to communicate with our customers. The tools we use are listed below. If you communicate with us via video or audio conference over the internet, your personal data is collected and processed by us and by the provider of the respective conference tool.

The conference tools collect all data that you provide/use to use the tools (email address and/or your telephone number). In addition, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, the start and end (time) of participation in the conference, the number of participants, and other “context information” related to the communication process (metadata).

Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes all technical data required to handle online communication. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or speaker, and the type of connection.

If content is exchanged, uploaded, or otherwise provided within the tool, it is also stored on the servers of the tool providers. Such content includes, in particular, cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared while using the service.

Please note that we do not have full influence over the data processing operations of the tools used. Our options depend largely on the corporate policies of the respective provider. Further information on data processing by the conference tools can be found in the privacy policies of the tools used, which are listed below this text.

Purpose and Legal Bases

The conference tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to offer certain services to our customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). In addition, the use of the tools serves the general simplification and acceleration of communication with us or our company (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If consent was requested, the relevant tools are used on the basis of that consent; consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

Storage Duration

The data collected directly by us via the video and conference tools is deleted from our systems as soon as you request deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage duration of your data that is stored by the operators of the conference tools for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the conference tools directly.

7. Our Own Services

Handling Applicant Data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, by post, or via an online application form). Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure you that your data is collected, processed, and used in compliance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions, and that your data is treated strictly confidentially.

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection

If you send us an application, we process your related personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation) and — if you have given consent — Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. Within our company, your personal data is only passed on to persons involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Retention Period of the Data

If we are unable to make you a job offer, if you reject an offer, or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you provided on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months after the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal). After that, the data will be deleted and any physical application documents will be destroyed. Retention serves, in particular, as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period (e.g., due to a threatened or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place once the purpose for further retention no longer applies.

Longer retention may also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
