同时,我们在此提醒您,通过互联网传输数据(例如电子邮件通信)可能存在安全漏洞,无法做到完全防止第三方访问。

除非本隐私政策中另有明确规定,您的个人数据将仅在实现其收集目的所必需的期限内由我们保存。如果您提出合理的删除请求,或撤回您对数据处理的同意,我们将删除相关数据;但若法律允许我们基于其他原因继续保存您的个人数据(例如税务或商业法规规定的保存义务),则在相关法定保存期限届满后,我们才会删除该等数据。

如果您已同意数据处理,我们将依据《通用数据保护条例》(GDPR)第6条第1款第a项或第9条第2款第a项处理您的个人数据;如涉及《GDPR》第9条第1款所定义的特殊类别数据,则依据相应条款进行处理。若您明确同意将个人数据传输至第三国,数据处理还将依据《GDPR》第49条第1款第a项进行。如果您同意我们在终端设备中存储 Cookie 或访问设备信息(例如设备指纹识别),相关数据处理还将依据德国《电信与数字服务数据保护法》(TDDDG)第25条第1款进行。您可随时撤回该同意。如您的数据用于履行合同或执行合同前措施,我们将依据《GDPR》第6条第1款第b项处理您的数据。此外,若数据处理是履行法律义务所必需,则依据《GDPR》第6条第1款第c项进行处理。在某些情况下,数据处理也可能基于我们的合法利益(依据《GDPR》第6条第1款第f项)。各具体数据处理所适用的法律依据将在本隐私政策的后续章节中详细说明。

在我们的业务活动范围内,我们会与不同的外部机构合作。在某些情况下,这可能需要将个人数据传输给这些外部机构。我们仅在以下情况下向外部第三方披露个人数据:为履行合同所必需;法律法规要求(例如向税务机关披露数据);依据《GDPR》第6条第1款第f项基于我们的合法利益;或在其他法律依据允许的情况下进行披露。在使用数据处理受托方(处理方)时,我们仅基于有效的数据处理协议向其提供客户个人数据。在共同数据处理的情况下,我们会与相关方签署共同数据处理协议。

许多数据处理活动仅在您明确同意的前提下才会进行。您也可以随时撤回已授予我们的同意。撤回同意不影响在撤回之前已进行的数据处理的合法性。

如果个人数据基于《GDPR》第6条第1款第e项或第f项进行处理,您有权基于与您特定情况相关的理由,随时反对对您个人数据的处理。这同样适用于基于上述条款进行的画像分析(Profiling)。关于数据处理所依据的法律基础,请参阅本《数据保护声明》。如果您提出反对,我们将不再处理相关的个人数据,除非我们能够证明存在具有强制性且值得保护的理由,使其优先于您的利益、权利与自由;或者该数据处理用于主张、行使或维护法律权利(依据《GDPR》第21条第1款的反对权)。

如果发生违反《GDPR》的情况,数据主体有权向监管机构提出投诉,特别是在其通常居住地、工作地点或涉嫌侵权发生地所在的欧盟成员国。该投诉权不影响您可通过其他行政或司法程序寻求法律救济的权利。

您有权要求以通用、机器可读的格式获取我们基于您的同意或为履行合同而自动处理的数据,或将其传输给第三方。如果您要求将数据直接传输至另一数据控制方,则仅在技术条件允许的情况下方可实现。

6.  Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected or only on a voluntary basis. For the handling of the newsletter, we use newsletter service providers, which are described below.

This website uses the services of Mailchimp to send out its newsletters. The provider is the Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

 

Among other things, Mailchimp is a service that can be deployed to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters. Whenever you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to a newsletter (e.g. your e-mail address), the information is stored on Mailchimp servers in the United States.

 

With the assistance of the Mailchimp tool, we can analyze the performance of our newsletter campaigns. If you open an e-mail that has been sent through the Mailchimp tool, a file that has been integrated into the e- mail (a so-called web-beacon) connects to Mailchimp’s servers in the United States. As a result, it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links the recipient possibly clicked on. Technical information is also recorded at that time (e.g. the time of access, the IP address, type of browser and operating system). This information cannot be allocated to the respective newsletter recipient. Their sole purpose is the performance of statistical analyses of newsletter campaigns. The results of such analyses can be used to tailor future newsletters to the interests of their recipients more effectively.

 

If you do not want to permit an analysis by Mailchimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for you to do this in every newsletter message.

 

The data is processed based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke any consent you have given at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data processing transactions that have taken place prior to your revocation.

 

The data deposited with us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or the newsletter service provider and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored for other purposes with us remain unaffected.

 

Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European Commission. Details can be found here:

https://mailchimp.com/eu-us-data-transfer-statement/ and https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/#Annex_C_-_Standard_Contractual_Clauses.

 

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if such action is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is indefinite. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

8. Online-based Audio and Video Conferences

We use online conference tools, among other things, for communication with our customers. The tools we use are listed in detail below. If you communicate with us by video or audio conference using the Internet, your personal data will be collected and processed by the provider of the respective conference tool and by us. The conferencing tools collect all information that you provide/access to use the tools (email address and/or your phone number). Furthermore, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, start and end (time) of participation in the conference, number of participants and other “context information” related to the communication process (metadata).

 

Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes all the technical data required for the processing of the 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 loudspeaker and the type of connection.

 

Should content be exchanged, uploaded, or otherwise made available within the tool, it is also stored on the servers of the tool provider. Such content includes, but is not limited to, cloud recordings, chat/ instant messages, voicemail uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared while using the service.

 

Please note that we do not have complete influence on the data processing procedures of the tools used. Our possibilities are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider. Further information on data processing by the conference tools can be found in the data protection declarations of the tools used, and which we have listed below this text.

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). Furthermore, the use of the tools serves to generally simplify and accelerate communication with us or our company (legitimate interest in the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Insofar as consent has been requested, the tools in question will be used on the basis of this consent; the consent may be revoked at any time with effect from that date.

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

 

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

9. Handling applicant data

We offer website visitors the opportunity to submit job applications to us (e.g., via e-mail, by submitting the online job application form). Below, we will brief you on the scope, purpose and use of the personal data collected from you in conjunction with the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data will occur in compliance with the applicable data privacy rights and all other statutory provisions and that your data will always be treated as strictly confidential.

If you submit a job application to us, we will process any affiliated personal data (e.g., contact and communications data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.), if they are required to make a decision concerning the establishment or an employment relationship. The legal grounds for the aforementioned are § 26 BDSG according to German Law (Negotiation of an Employment Relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (General Contract Negotiations) and – provided you have given us your consent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may revoke any consent given at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be shared with individuals who are involved in the processing of your job application.

 

If your job application should result in your recruitment, the data you have submitted will be archived on the grounds of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship in our data processing system.

 If we are unable to make you a job offer or you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application procedure (rejection or withdrawal of the application).

Afterwards the data will be deleted, and the physical application documents will be destroyed. The storage serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g., due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.

 

Longer storage may also take place if you have given your agreement (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory data retention requirements preclude the deletion.

If we do not make you a job offer, you may be able to join our applicant pool. In case of admission, all documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you in case of suitable vacancies.

 

Admission to the applicant pool is based exclusively on your express agreement (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). The submission agreement is voluntary and has no relation to the ongoing application procedure. The affected person can revoke his agreement at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, provided there are no legal reasons for storage.

 

The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been granted.
