Further information about the processing of your personal data in the specific case

 

In the following, we would like to inform you about the processing of your personal data in particular.

 

For what purposes is my personal data processed?

Basically, we only process your personal data as far as necessary. In the following we would like to inform you about general as well as special processing purposes.

 

General processing purposes


What are general processing purposes and why is my personal data processed for these purposes?

We process your personal data in order to ensure comprehensive customer care.
The satisfaction of our customers is a central concern to us. To improve our services, we cooperate with independent market research institutes. The independent market research institute carries out individual customer surveys on our behalf and provides us with the results of the survey. The results of this survey enable us to further improve and strengthen our customer relationships. The independent market research institute will only provide us with the answers in summarized form. That means that your participation is absolutely anonymous, a direct assignment of the survey result to the respective customer is excluded. For this purpose, it is necessary that we transmit the contact details of our customers to the market research institute.
We process your personal data for the initiation and execution of our specific contractual relationships. In these cases, the concrete purpose of the processing results from the respective service relationship.
Processing based on legitimate interests is only considered in those cases where our legitimate interests prevail. In detail, the processing of your personal data may be necessary for reasons of administration or for the protection of our publicly accessible rooms, for example through video surveillance.
It may be necessary for us to process your personal information based on legal requirements. Such an obligation may arise, for example, from the obligation of proper accounting.

 

Which of my data will be processed in these cases?

In this context, we must, in particular, process your following personal information:

• General contact information
• General information required for the specific contract
• General information that is required in connection with the billing and the final payment.

 

Special processing purposes in connection with the establishment of contact and the application process

• For the purpose of electronic contact

In the following we would like to explain to you why the processing of your personal data is necessary in these cases

 

For the purpose of electronic contact
When we are contacted by email, the information provided by you will be used to process and handle the contact query.
The information provided by you can be stored in our customer relationship management (CRM) system or in a comparable form and is subject to a legal retention period of 6 years, in the case of business letters, or 10 years, in the case of matters pertaining to tax law.

 

For the purpose of an application process

We process your applicant data only for the purpose of and in connection with the recruitment process and in compliance with the applicable legal requirements. Your applicant data is processed to fulfil our contractual obligations and on the basis of our legitimate interests as well as to fulfil your interest in a quick and effective recruitment process.
A pre-requisite for the recruitment process is that you provide your data to us. Our job advertisement specifies the data you need to provide. This includes personal data, postal and contact addresses as well as the documents pertaining to the application such as the cover letter, curriculum vitae and references. You can provide additional information to us on your own accord. By sending the application to us, you consent to your data being processed for the purposes of the recruitment process and in the manner and to the extent described in this Data Protection Policy.

 

Will my applicant data be shared with third parties?

In principle, we do not disclose applicant data. However, it is possible that external service providers or other companies that are part of our company assist us with the recruitment process. The service providers may process your applicant data for this purpose. The service providers will process your applicant data only on our behalf and on the basis of contractual obligations that provide for compliance with the agreed organizational and technical measures.
Your applicant data may also be disclosed if the same position has been expressly advertised by several companies within our group of companies, i.e. if the recruitment process is carried out by several companies.
In all other cases we will ask you for your permission before disclosing your data.

 

How can I submit my applicant data?

You may send us your applications by email. However, it should be noted that emails are not sent encrypted. For this reason, we cannot assume any responsibility for the transmission of the application between you and our server and therefore recommend that you send the application by postal mail if you should have any concerns.

 

How long will my applicant data be stored?

The data provided by successful applicants can be further processed by us for the purposes of employment.
The data of unsuccessful applicants will be deleted. Applicant data will also be deleted if an application is withdrawn. You are entitled to do so at any time.
The data will be deleted, unless applicants withdraw their consent for legitimate reasons, after a period of six months so that we will be able to answer any questions that may arise following the application, and to meet our obligation to provide evidence under the General Non-Discrimination Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz, AGG).

Our web presence in social media (social networks)

You can visit us on selected social networks. We use social networks to present our company and to exchange information with users.

Please note that your data may be processed by the operator of the social network outside the European Union. This may result in additional risks for you. It may be more difficult to assert your data protection rights outside the EU. Often, data of users of social networks is processed for purposes of advertising and market research and usage profiles are created to place interest-related advertising in and outside the social network. The operators of social networks also often use cookies for this purpose, in which usage behavior and interests are stored. The usage profiles may also be created across devices, if necessary, especially if the users are logged into the social network on the devices.

We have no influence on the processing of your data in the social networks and by the operator of the social network. However, we may receive aggregated, non-personal information from the operator of the social network, for example, about the number of visitors to our website. As a matter of principle, we do not store or process any personal data in addition to this. Only in the event that you send us a direct message on the social network, your username will be stored.

For more information on the processing of your data in the social networks, your objection options and your data protection right, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective operator of the social network.

We recommend that you assert your rights (esp. information requests) regarding the processing of your data in the social networks directly with the operator of the social network, as only this operator has access to the users' data.

We are currently represented in the following social networks:

- LinkedIn: social network; service provider: LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland; Website: https://www.linkedin.com; Privacy policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy; Opt-out: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.
- Youtube: Google LLC ("Google"), Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, as operator of YouTube personal data in accordance with Google's privacy policy. The privacy policy can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de

 

On what legal basis is the processing of my personal data based?

We process your personal data only in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations. This means, in particular, that your data will only be processed if there is a legal permission. Above all, we process your data if the processing is necessary for the provision of our contractual services or our online services or if it is required by law. In addition, we process your data based on your consent or on the basis of our legitimate interests.

 

Consent
If you give us your consent to the processing of your personal data in certain cases, the processing is based on this legal basis within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. For example, if you submit information voluntarily as part of the application process, we process this information solely on the basis of your consent.

 

Contract
If the processing of your personal data is necessary in order to establish a contractual relationship with you or to process it, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

 

Legal obligation
In certain cases, we are required by law to process your personal information. In these cases, the processing is based on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c GDPR.

 

Legitimate interests
Insofar as we process your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests, such as in the context of the aforementioned online offers, the processing procedure is based on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

 

Employment
If you contact us as part of an application, we process your personal data on the basis of § 26 (1) sentence 1 Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).

 

Which legitimate interests are claimed for the processing of my personal data?

We process your personal data partly based on legitimate interests. Processing based on our legitimate interests only takes place when it is required, and our interests predominate on a case-by-case basis.
As far as we base the processing on this legal basis, our interest in processing relates in particular to the following measures:

• Ensuring the safety of our establishments
• The functionality of our administration
• In particular, the analysis and optimization as well as the economic operation and security of our online offer: This requires the processing of your personal data to measure coverage, to create profiles for advertising and marketing purposes as well as the collection of access data and the use of third-party services.

 

Who has access to my data? Will my data be transmitted to a country outside the European Union / the European Economic Area?

A transfer of your data to third parties takes place only within the scope of the legal requirements. We only pass on your data to third parties if this is necessary. For example, disclosure may be required for billing purposes or when disclosure is required to meet the contractual obligation.
If we use subcontractors to provide our services, we will take appropriate legal precautions and appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data in accordance with applicable law.
If third-party content is used, data transfer to third countries can often not be ruled out.
Third countries are countries in which the GDPR is not a directly applicable law, i. E. basically countries outside the EU or the European Economic Area. The transfer of data to third countries occurs either when there is an adequate level of data protection, user consent is given, or other legal authorization are applicable.

 

How long will my personal data be stored?

Stored data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for their intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory storage requirements.
Unless your data is deleted because it is necessary for other and legitimate purposes, its processing will be restricted. As a result, the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes.
This applies, for example for data that must be kept for commercial or tax reasons. According to legal requirements the storage takes place for 6 years according to § 257 Abs. 1 HGB (trading books, inventories, opening balance sheets, annual accounts, trade letters, accounting documents, etc.) as well as for 10 years according to § 147 Abs. 1 AO (books, records, management reports, Accounting documents, commercial and business letters, documents relevant for taxation, etc.)
