Data collection, legal basis of processing, duration of storage

 

Use of our website

When you access our website, the browser used on your end device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file.

The following information is collected without your intervention and stored until automated deletion:

  • IP address of the requesting computer
  • Language set in the browser
  • Type of browser used and the operating system of your computer in the respective version
  • whether Java script and cookies are permitted
  • Screen resolution and resolution density as well as screen size of the output device
  • Date and time of access
  • Your time zone
  • the name of your access provider
  • Name and URL of the retrieved file
  • Website from which the access is made (referrer URL)

The above data will be processed by us for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring a smooth connection of the website,
  • Ensuring a comfortable use of our website,
  • Evaluation of system security and stability, and
  • for other system administrative purposes, such as troubleshooting.

The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f DSGVO. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above. In no case do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.

The IP address is deleted from all systems used in connection with the operation of these Internet pages after 7 days at the latest. We can then no longer establish a personal reference from the remaining data.

Sign up for our newsletter

You have provided us with your email address in order to receive the newsletter. According to Art. 6 para. 1 letter b DSGVO, the processing of your email address is lawful if it serves the purpose of carrying out pre-contractual measures in response to your request.

You can unsubscribe at any time, for example via a link at the end of each newsletter. Alternatively, you can also send us your unsubscribe request by e-mail at any time.

We use the service of the service provider CleverReach GmbH & Co KG, Schafjückenweg 2, 26180 Rastede, Germany for the newsletter.

More information on the handling of user data can be found in CleverReach's privacy policy at www.cleverreach.com/de-de/datenschutz/.

Use of our registration form

If you send us an enquiry via our registration form, the information marked as mandatory is required so that we know who the enquiry is from and so that we can answer it. Further information can be provided voluntarily.

The processing of data for the purpose of contacting us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) letter b DSGVO for the purpose of implementing pre-contractual measures in response to your enquiry.

If data is no longer required within the scope of a customer or interested party relationship or if a conflicting interest of the customer outweighs this, we will delete the relevant data, provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.

Data protection in applications and the application process

We process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. The processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends us the relevant application documents electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website.

If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the data controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the data controller oppose deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

Cookies

Our website does not use cookies.

Links to third party websites

On this website, references to websites of third parties are offered in the form of so-called links. Only when you click on such a link will data be transmitted to the link destination. This is technically necessary. The transmitted data are in particular: Your IP address, the time at which you clicked on the link, the page on which you clicked on the link, information about your Internet browser. If you do not want this data to be transmitted to the link destination, do not click on the link.

YouTube videos

This website uses the YouTube embedding function to display and play videos from the provider "YouTube", which belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

The extended data protection mode is used here, which, according to the provider, only triggers the storage of user information when the video(s) is/are played. If the playback of embedded YouTube videos is started, the provider "YouTube" uses cookies to collect information about user behaviour. According to YouTube, these cookies are used, among other things, to collect video statistics, to improve user-friendliness and to prevent abusive behaviour. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account when you click on a video. If you do not wish to have your data associated with your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO on the basis of Google's legitimate interests in the display of personalised advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of its website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right. The use of YouTube may also result in the transmission of personal data to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

Independently of a playback of the embedded videos, a connection to the Google network is established each time this website is called up, which may trigger further data processing operations without our influence.

Further information on data protection at "YouTube" can be found in the provider's data protection declaration at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy

Please note that, due to the Cloud Act, American intelligence services could potentially gain access to personal data that is inevitably exchanged with Google when this tool is integrated due to the Internet Protocol.

Insofar as legally required, we have obtained your consent for the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, use the Delete Cookies function of your web browser.

We also use appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

Definitions

This data protection declaration is based on the terms used in the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). You will find essential terms explained here:

Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Person concerned

Data subject means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller.

Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.

Profiling

Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data which consists in using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or change of location.

Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures which ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Controller or person responsible for the processing

The controller or person responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for under Union or Member State law.

Processor

Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

Receiver

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigative task under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as recipients.

Third

Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor.

Consent

Consent shall mean any freely given specific and informed indication of the data subject's wishes in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act by which the data subject signifies his or her agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

Safety notice

We secure our website and other IT systems against loss, destruction, unauthorised access, unauthorised modification or unauthorised dissemination of your data by means of appropriate technical and organisational measures. However, complete protection against all dangers is not possible in every case, despite all due care. Because we cannot guarantee complete data security when communicating by e-mail, we recommend sending confidential information by post.

Amendment of this privacy policy

We reserve the right to change this data protection declaration if the legal situation or this online offer or the type of data collection changes. However, this only applies to declarations on data processing. If the user's consent is required or components of the data protection declaration contain a regulation of the contractual relationship with users, the data protection declaration will only be amended with the user's consent.

Therefore, please inform yourself about this privacy policy if necessary, especially if you provide personal data.

This privacy policy was created in cooperation with dsgvoNORD GmbH from Kiel. www.dsgvo-nord.de
