We collect your data when you provide us with it. This may be, for example, data that you enter in a contact form. Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website. This is mainly technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time a page is viewed). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website.

Some of the data is collected to ensure faultless provision of the website. Other data can be used to analyse your user behaviour.

• Data processing based on your consent (Art. 6, Par. 1, lit. a of the GDPR)
  Provided that you have given us your consent to the processing of your personal data for specific purposes (e.g. to receive personalised advertising or for identification), the processing on this basis is legal. Consent given can be revoked at any time. This also applies to revoking declarations of consent that you gave us before the GDPR came into force on 25 May 2018. Revoking consent is valid for the future and does not affect the legality of the data processed up to the revocation.
• Data processing for legitimate interest (Art. 6, Par. 1, lit. f of the GDPR)
  We process your data in a permissible manner to safeguard our legitimate interests. This includes the use of your personal data to:
  • also inform you about our products and services
  • carry out measures for the improvement and development of services and products to be able to offer you a customised approach and optimised services
  • assert legal claims and establish defence in legal disputes
  • investigate or prevent crimes
  • use your data anonymously for analysis purposes.

If we wish to process your personal data for a purpose not previously mentioned, we will inform you in advance in the context of the legal provisions.

• Data processing for the purpose of contract initiation and settlement (Art.6 Par.1 lit. b of the GDPR)

Any further personal data, such as your name, address, telephone number or email address, are not collected when you visit the website, unless you provide this information voluntarily, e.g. to receive a contract offer. Your details will be stored for the purpose of processing your enquiry and dealing with it.

In order to provide this website and for the aforementioned purposes, your data may be passed on to technical service providers supporting us (e.g. website support providers), which we have carefully selected and with whom we have concluded an order processing agreement. Your data will otherwise only be passed on to other third parties and transferred to third countries if this is expressly stated in this data protection declaration or if we are legally required to do so.

We store your personal data for the above purposes. Your data will be processed for the first time from the time of collection, insofar as you or a third party provide it to us. We delete your personal data that you have provided to us when the contractual relationship with you is terminated or you revoke your consent and all mutual claims have been fulfilled and there are no other legal retention obligations or legal justification reasons for storage.
With Google Analytics, we use the option to limit the storage period for your data to 26 months.

Every data subject has the right to

• information pursuant to Art. 15 of the GDPR,
• correction pursuant to Art. 16 of the GDPR,
• deletion pursuant to Art. 17 of the GDPR,

The restrictions in accordance with §§ 34 and 35 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) apply to the right of access to the data and the right of erasure of this data. 

 

Right to object

If the data processing is on the basis of Art. 6, Par. 1, lit. e or f of the GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation. If you object, we will no longer process your personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21, Par. 1 GDPR).

 

Right to revoke consent

If you have given us separate consent for data processing, you can revoke this consent at any time in accordance with Art. 7, Par. 3 of the GDPR. Such withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the withdrawal.

 

Right to object to data collection in special cases and direct advertising (Art. 21 of the GDPR)

If we process your personal data for the purpose of direct advertising, you can object to this processing in accordance with Art. 21, Par. 2 and 3 of the GDPR. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be processed for the purpose of direct marketing.

 

Right to appeal to the responsible supervisory authority

If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the regulations of the GDPR, you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 of the GDPR.

This data is not merged with other data sources. This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6, Par. 1, lit. f of the GDPR.

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The storage of Google Analytics cookies and the use of this analytical tool are based on Art. 6, para. 1, lit f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising.

IP anonymisation

We have activated the function IP anonymisation on this website. As a result, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or other states that are part of the
agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transferral to the USA. The full IP address is only sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there in exceptional
cases. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Objection to data collection

You can prevent the storage of all cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this and other websites to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from transferring data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing these data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available from the following link:https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. We also offer you the opportunity to opt-out of the collection of your website usage data for this website by clicking on the following link: Deactivate data collection by Google Analytics for this website. In this case, a special opt-out cookie will be set to prevent future collection of your usage data when visiting this website.

Order processing

We have concluded a contract for order processing with Google and fully implement the strict
requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographic features in Google Analytics

This website uses the “demographic features” function by Google Analytics. It allows reports to be created that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of the site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time through the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as shown in the item "Objection to data collection".

Storage period

Data saved by Google at a user and event level, which are associated with cookies, user recognition (e.g. user IDs) or promotional IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies or Android advertising IDs) will be anonymised after 26 months or deleted. Details can be found under the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de 

Google AdWords and Google conversion tracking

These websites use Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”). 
In the context of Google AdWords, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the web browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that the user has clicked on the ad and been redirected to this page.
Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie through your internet browser under user settings. They will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
The storage of conversion cookies and the use of this tracking tool are based on Art. 6, Par. 1, lit. f of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising. More information about Google AdWords and Google conversion tracking can be found in the data protection regulations of Google: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies 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. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is a solution from Google Inc. that enables marketers to manage website tags via a single interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-less domain and does not collect any personal data. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If disabled at a domain or cookie level, it will remain in effect for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

Facebook Pixel

For conversion measurement, our website uses the visitor behaviour pixel from Facebook, Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”).
In this way, the behaviour of page visitors can be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This allows the effectiveness of Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and to optimise future advertising measures. The data collected is anonymous for us as the operator of this website, we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook data usage policy. This allows Facebook to serve ads on Facebook pages as well as outside of Facebook. This use of the data cannot be influenced by us as the site operator.
Facebook Pixel is used on the basis of Art. 6, Par. 1, lit. f of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures including social media. You can find more information on the protection of your privacy in the privacy policy of Facebook here: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/. 
You can also disable the remarketing “Custom Audiences” feature in the ad settings
under  https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen.  To do this, you must be logged in to Facebook. If you do not have a Facebook account, you can disable usage-based advertising from Facebook on the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website:
http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/. 

CleverReach

This website uses CleverReach to send newsletters. The provider is CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede. CleverReach is a service with which the sending of newsletters can be
organised and analysed. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving the newsletter (e.g. email address) is stored on CleverReach's servers in Germany or Ireland. Our newsletters sent with CleverReach allow us to analyse the behaviour of newsletter recipients. Among other things, we can analyse how many recipients have opened the newsletter message and how often which link in the newsletter was clicked. With the help of what is known as conversion tracking, we can also analyse whether a predefined action (e.g. purchase of a product on our website) has taken place after clicking on the link in the newsletter. Further information on data analysis by CleverResearch newsletters can be found under: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/funktionen/reporting-und-tracking/. 
The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6, Par. 1, lit. a of the GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time as previously described by unsubscribing from the newsletter. If you do not want any analysis by CleverReach, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter.
The data you provide us with for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers as well as from the servers of CleverReach after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this. For more details, please see the data protection regulations by CleverReach: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/datenschutz/. 

Completion of a contract for order processing

We have concluded an order processing contract with CleverReach and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using CleverReach.

Google Maps

This site uses the map service Google Maps via an API. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Maps will store your IP address. This is then usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission from Google Maps. For more information about handling user data, please see Google's privacy policy here: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/. 

Social Wall with Flockler

This website uses Flockler's "Social Media Wall" to compile posts from various social networks that mention us or that contain a hashtag with our name or the name of a campaign. This includes mentions of posts we publish on social networks and posts published by users. The content of the posts is automatically sourced from the respective social networks in accordance with the terms and permissions of the authors, and users can object to the display at any time. The authors are generally responsible for the content of the posts.

The providers of the respective social networks are responsible for the processing of the data in connection with the presentation of the posts and their content. We refer to the information on the respective social networks within the scope of this data protection declaration. Without prejudice to the data protection rights of users, we recommend that users (also) contact the respective authors or providers of the respective social networks in the event of requests for information and complaints about posts that were not made by us, in order to remove the posts at the source or to assert your data protection rights.

Technical implementation with: Flockler Oy, Rautatienkatu 21 B, 33100 Tampere, Finland; Website: https://flockler.com/de; Privacy policy: https://flockler.com/privacy-policy; Order processing contract: https://flockler.com/dpa; Safety measures by Flockler: https://flockler.com/technical-and-organisational-measures.

 

Sharing buttons

We use "Shariff buttons" on the website, which protect your privacy. Shariff was developed by specialists from the computer magazine c't to allow more privacy on the net and to replace the usual "share" buttons of social networks.

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to be able to communicate with the customers, interested parties and users active there and to inform them about our services there.

We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This can result in risks for users because, for example, it could make it more difficult to enforce users' rights. Furthermore, user data is usually processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created from the usage behaviour and resulting interests of the users. The usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the users' computers, in which the usage behaviour and interests of the users are stored. Furthermore, the usage profiles can also store data independently of the devices used by the users.

Personal data of users is processed based on our legitimate interests in effective information of users and communication with users in accordance with Art. 6, Par. 1, lit. f. of the GDPR.  

For a detailed description of the respective possibilities for processing and objection (opt-out), we refer to the following linked information of the provider.

Also in the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the users' data and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. Please contact us if you still require help.

Scope, purpose and legal basis of the data collection

If you send us an application, we will process your related personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes in the context of job interviews, etc.), insofar as this is necessary for the decision on whether to establish an employment relationship. 

The legal basis for this is § 26 of the new Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6, Par. 1, lit. b of the GDPR (general contract initiation) and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6, Par. 1, lit. a of the GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. 
Your personal data is only disclosed within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application. If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be processed on the basis of Section 26 of the new Federal Data Protection Act and Art. 6, Par. 1, lit. b of the GDPR for purposes of carrying out the employment relationship in our data processing systems.
 

Retention period for the data

If we cannot give you a job offer, or if you reject a job offer, you revoke your consent to data processing or you request us to delete the data, the data you provide, including any remaining physical application documents for a maximum of 6 months and 7 days after completion of the application process, is stored or retained (retention period) in order to reproduce the details of the application process in case of discrepancies (Art. 6, Par. 1, lit. f of the GDPR).
If we find your profile interesting for other vacancies and would like to check further employment opportunities, we will write to you to ask whether you agree to be included in the pool of applicants. The same applies to speculative applications. In the event that you have agreed to further storage of your personal data, we will transfer your data to our applicant pool. There, the data is deleted after 12 months.

After expiry of the retention period, the data will be deleted unless there is a legal obligation to retain the data or another legal reason for further storage. If it is evident that it will be necessary to retain your data after the retention period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will only be deleted once it has become irrelevant. Other statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.

Recipients of the personal data

To register your application data, we use the online portal of d.vinci HR-Systems GmbH. This company acts as a service provider for us and may also obtain knowledge of your personal data in connection with the maintenance and care of the systems. With this provider, we have concluded what is known as an order processing contract, which ensures that data processing is carried out in a permissible manner.
Your applicant data will be viewed by the HR department after receipt of your application. Suitable applications are then forwarded internally to the department heads for the respective open position. Then the further procedure is coordinated. In principle, the only persons in the company who have access to your data are those who require it to properly carry out our application process.
 

Disclosure of data to third parties

We do not pass on personal data to third parties during the application process.
