PERSON RELATED DATA

Person-related data is information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"), cf. Art. 4 No. 1 DSGVO. This includes, for example, name, age, date of birth, marital status, address, email address, other contact details, etc.

COLLECTION OF PERSON RELATED DATA

You can visit our website without providing any personal information.

On the one hand, your data is collected when you provide it to us. This can be, for example, data that you enter in a contact form. Other data is collected automatically or after your consent when you visit the website by our IT systems. This is mainly technical data (e.g. Internet browser, operating system or time of page view). The collection of this data takes place automatically as soon as you visit this website.

Some of the data is collected to ensure error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior.

DATA CATEGORIES

We process the following categories of data: master data (such as first name, last name, address, e-mail address), communication data, contract data, receivables data, payment and, if applicable, default information.

DATA SHARING

We will only share your data with third parties,

  • if you have given your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 a) DSGVO;
  • if the transfer is necessary for the fulfillment of contractual obligations pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 b) DSGVO;
  • if we are legally obligated to disclose the data within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 c) DSGVO;
  • if the disclosure of the data is in the public interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) e) DSGVO or;

if the disclosure of the data is necessary to protect our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 f) DSGVO, unless your interests in the protection of your data prevail.

NOTE ON DATA TRANSFER TO THE USA AND OTHER THIRD COUNTRIES

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

DURATION OF DATA STORAGE

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this data protection declaration, your data will be stored by us for as long as it is required for the respective purposes on which the processing is based. If applicable, this also includes the periods of the initiation of a contract (pre-contractual legal relationship) and the processing of a contract. In addition, we only store data insofar as we are legally obligated to do so, e.g. due to statutory retention obligations (e.g. from the German Commercial Code, §§ 238, 257 para. 4 HGB, and the German Fiscal Code, § 147 para. 3, 4 AO; the periods specified there for retention or documentation are up to ten years). documentation are up to ten years) or for the preservation of evidence, taking into account the statute of limitations (e.g. §§ 194 ff. of the German Civil Code (BGB) up to 30 years, whereby the regular statute of limitations is three years). If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., statutory retention obligations); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.

SERVER LOGFILES

As soon as you access our website, server log files are transmitted to our provider. This is anonymized data (IP address, operating system, browser type and version, browser language, time of access, referrer URL (previously visited website), content of the request (specific page) and the amount of data transferred), which allows us to perform statistical analyses and optimize our website for users and is stored until it is automatically deleted. This data is anonymized and does not allow us to draw conclusions about a specific person.

The storage of the aforementioned access data is necessary for technical reasons to provide a functional website and to ensure system security. This also applies to the storage of your IP address, which is necessary and, under further conditions, may at least theoretically allow an assignment to your person. Beyond the aforementioned purposes, we use server log files exclusively for the needs-based design and optimization of our Internet offering purely statistically and without inference to your person. The data is not merged with other data sources.

The access data collected in the course of using our website is only stored for the period of time for which this data is required to achieve the above purposes. Your IP address is stored on our provider's server for a maximum of 30 days for IT security purposes.

Insofar as you visit our website to obtain information about our range of products and services or to use them, the legal basis for the temporary storage and processing of access data is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 b) DSGVO, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In addition, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 f) DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the temporary storage of technical access data. Our legitimate interest is that the data processing allows us to perform statistical evaluations regarding the use of our website and to optimize our website for the user.

EXTERNAL HOSTING

This website is hosted by an external service provider (hoster). The personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster's servers. This may mainly be IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contract data, contact data, names, website accesses and other data generated via a website.

The hoster is used for the purpose of fulfilling contracts with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 b) DSGVO) and in the interest of a secure, fast and efficient provision of our online offer by a professional provider (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 f) DSGVO).

Unser Hoster wird Ihre Daten nur insoweit verarbeiten, wie dies zur Erfüllung seiner Leistungspflichten erforderlich ist und unsere Weisungen in Bezug auf diese Daten befolgen.

We use the following hoster:
PLANET IC GmbH

CONTACT FORM

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your data from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provided there and the time of your contact, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your cons

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) p. 1 b) DSGVO, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 f) DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 a) DSGVO) if this was requested.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after we have completed processing your request). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

If you contact us by e-mail, we assume - unless you indicate otherwise - that we may also reply to you by e-mail.

REQUEST BY E-MAIL, PHONE OR FAX

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your inquiry including all resulting personal data (name, address, e-mail address, telephone or fax number, etc.) and the time of your contact will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your conse

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) b) DSGVO if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) f) DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) a) DSGVO) if this has been requested.

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular legal retention periods - remain unaffected.

If you contact us by e-mail, we assume - unless you indicate otherwise - that we may also reply to you by e-mail.

HANDLING OF APPLICANT DATA

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by e-mail, by post or via online application form). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data will be carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.

SCOPE AND PURPOSES OF DATA COLLECTION

If you send us an application, we will process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) as well as the time at which you contacted us, insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) (initiation of an employment relationship), Article 6 (1) sentence 1 b) DSGVO (general contract initiation) and - if you have given your consent - Article 6 (1) sentence 1 a) DSGVO. The consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6 (1) p. 1 b) DSGVO for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.

RETENTION PERIOD OF THE DATA

If we are unable to make you a job offer, if you reject a job offer, or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have provided on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) p. f) DSGVO) for up to six months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. This 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 six-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will not be deleted until the purpose for continued storage no longer applies.

A longer storage can also take place if you have given a corresponding consent (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 a) DSGVO) or if legal storage obligations oppose the deletion.

LINKS

By clicking on an external link, you leave our website. Third-party websites may place their own cookies on your terminal device or collect, store and use personal data. We have no influence on this. In this respect, the data protection provisions of the respective website apply. When visiting third-party websites, you should therefore inform yourself about the data protection provisions applicable there.

DATA SECURITY

Personal data is protected by us by means of suitable technical and organizational measures in order to ensure an appropriate level of protection and to safeguard the personal rights of the persons concerned. The measures taken serve, among other things, to prevent unauthorized access to the technical equipment used by us and to protect personal data from unauthorized disclosure by third parties. In particular, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as your contact requests that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Nevertheless, we point out that data transmission over the Internet (eg communication by e-mail) security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is therefore not possible.

You have the following rights in connection with our processing of your data:

  • Right of information according to Art. 15 DSGVO about the processing of your personal data by us regarding the purpose of processing, categories of processed data, recipients or categories of recipients, storage period or criteria for determining the period, right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection to processing, right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority, if applicable, information about the origin of the data and the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, if applicable, information about guarantees according to Art. 46 DSGVO in case of transfer to a third country or international organizations;

This also applies to profiling based on the aforementioned legal bases. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. In the event of an objection, the personal data will no longer be processed unless compelling legitimate grounds for the processing are demonstrated which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.
