Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the device (e.g. computer, mobile phone, tablet, etc.) used to access it.

What personal data is collected and to what extent is it processed?

(1) Information about the browser type and version used;
(2) The operating system of the retrieval device;
(3) Host name of the accessing computer;
(4) The IP address of the retrieval device;
(5) Date and time of access;
(6) Websites and resources (images, files, other page content) accessed on our website;
(7) Websites from which the user's system accessed our website (referrer tracking);
(8) Message whether the retrieval was successful;
(9) Amount of data transmitted

This data is stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with the personal data of a specific user, so that individual site visitors cannot be identified.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest). Our legitimate interest is to ensure the achievement of the purpose described below.

Purpose of the data processing

The temporary (automated) storage of the data is necessary for the course of a website visit to enable delivery of the website. The storage and processing of personal data is also carried out to maintain the compatibility of our website for as many visitors as possible and to combat abuse and eliminate malfunctions. For this purpose, it is necessary to log the technical data of the accessing computer in order to be able to react as early as possible to display errors, attacks on our IT systems and/or errors in the functionality of our website. In addition, we use the data to optimise the website and to generally ensure the security of our information technology systems.

Duration of storage

The deletion of the aforementioned technical data takes place as soon as they are no longer required to ensure the compatibility of the website for all visitors, but no later than 3 months after accessing our website.

 

 

Possibility of objection and deletion

You can object to the processing at any time in accordance with Article 21 of the GDPR and request the deletion of data in accordance with Article 17 of the GDPR. You can find out which rights you have and how to exercise them at the bottom of this privacy policy.

Special functions of the website

Our site offers you various functions, during the use of which personal data is collected, processed and stored by us. We explain below what happens to this data:

Application form

• What personal data is collected and to what extent is it processed?

  The data entered by you in the form fields of the application form and uploaded, if applicable, will be processed in full to fulfil the purpose stated below.

• Legal basis for the processing of personal data

  The legal basis for the collection and processing of applicant data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b (contract initiation), Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR in conjunction with. § SECTION 26 BDSG. Insofar as special categories of personal data are collected that are necessary for the fulfilment of legal obligations arising from labour law, social security law and social protection pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 b GDPR in conjunction with. § Section 26 (3) BDSG, the processing is carried out on this legal basis. Insofar as special categories of personal data are to be processed in addition, we will obtain consent for this in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR.

• Purpose of the data processing

  The purpose of the data processing is to check and process the application documents uploaded by you via the form.

• Duration of storage

  The data is deleted as soon as the application has been processed and there is no longer a justified interest in storing the application data. Your application documents will therefore be deleted after 6 months at the latest if no employment relationship is established.

• Possibility of objection and deletion

  You can find out what rights you have and how to exercise them at the bottom of this privacy statement.

• Necessity of providing personal data

  The information provided in the application form is neither contractually nor legally required, but is necessary for sending and processing the application. If you do not fill in the mandatory fields or do not fill them in completely, the application you have requested cannot be sent or processed.

Automated credit assessment / scoring

If you wish to conclude a contract with us, we reserve the right to carry out exclusively automated processing of your personal data in order to check your creditworthiness. We are also entitled to make such an automated decision pursuant to Article 22 (2) a of the GDPR. Whether the contract can be concluded or not depends on the result of the automated credit check. In a credit check, statistical probabilities of a payment default are calculated. The creditworthiness information may contain probability values (score values) which are calculated on the basis of scientifically recognised mathematical-statistical procedures. In this process, the customer's future risk of non-payment is inferred by means of a large number of characteristics, such as income, address data, occupation, marital status and previous payment behaviour. The result is expressed in the form of a payment value (so-called score). The information obtained in this way forms the basis of our decision on the establishment, implementation or termination of a contractual relationship. If you believe that you have been wrongly excluded from concluding a contract due to the credit check, you are welcome to explain your point of view to us by e-mail. We will then review the automated decision in accordance with Article 22 (3) of the GDPR in the specific individual case. In order to be able to carry out the credit check, we may store and process your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

We transmit your data to the following provider(s) on the basis of the contract in progress in the cases listed below:

• Atradius N.V.:

  Atradius N.V., David Ricardostraat 1, 1066 JS Amsterdam, Netherlands (https://atradius.de/): Our company regularly checks the creditworthiness of existing customers when concluding contracts and in certain cases where there is a legitimate interest.

Information about the use of cookies

• What personal data is collected and to what extent is it processed?

  We integrate and use cookies on various pages to enable certain functions of our website and to integrate external web services. The so-called "cookies" are small text files that your browser can store on your access device. These text files contain a characteristic string that uniquely identifies the browser when you return to our website. The process of saving a cookie file is also referred to as "setting a cookie". Cookies can be set both by the website itself and by external web services. Cookies are set by our website or external web services in order to maintain the full functionality of our website, to improve the user experience or to pursue the purpose stated with your consent. Cookie technology also allows us to recognise individual visitors by pseudonyms, e.g. a unique or random ID, so that we can provide more personalised services. Details are shown in the table below.

• Legal basis for the processing of personal data

  Insofar as the cookies are processed on the basis of consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, this consent is also deemed to be consent within the meaning of Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG for the setting of the cookie on the user's terminal device. Insofar as another legal basis is stated in accordance with the GDPR (e.g. to fulfil a contract or to fulfil legal obligations), the storage or setting is based on an exception in accordance with Section 25 (2) TDDDG. This is the case "if the sole purpose of storing information in the end user's terminal equipment or the sole purpose of accessing information already stored in the end user's terminal equipment is to carry out the transmission of a communication over a public telecommunications network" or "where the storage of information in the end-user's terminal equipment or access to information already stored in the end-user's terminal equipment is strictly necessary to enable the provider of a telemedia service to provide a telemedia service explicitly requested by the user". The relevant legal basis can be found in the cookie table listed later in this section.

• Purpose of the data processing

  The cookies are set by our website or the external web services in order to maintain the full functionality of our website, to improve the user-friendliness or to pursue the purpose stated with your consent. Cookie technology also allows us to recognise individual visitors by pseudonyms, e.g. an individual or random IDs, so that we can offer more personalised services. Details are provided in the table below.

• Duration of storage

  Our cookies are stored until they are deleted in your browser or, if they are session cookies, until the session has expired. Details are listed in the following table.

• Possibility of objection and removal

  You can set your browser according to your wishes so that the setting of cookies is generally prevented. You can then decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept cookies or accept cookies in principle. Cookies can be used for various purposes, e.g. to recognise that your access device is already connected to our website (permanent cookies) or to save recently viewed offers (session cookies). If you have expressly given us permission to process your personal data, you can revoke this consent at any time. Please note that the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation is not affected by this.

Data security and data protection, communication by e-mail

Your personal data is protected by technical and organisational measures during collection, storage and processing so that it is not accessible to third parties. In the case of unencrypted communication by e-mail, we cannot guarantee complete data security on the transmission path to our IT systems, so that we recommend encrypted communication or the postal service for information requiring a high level of confidentiality.

Automatic e-mail archiving

• Scope of the processing of personal data

  We expressly point out that our mail system has an automated archiving procedure. All incoming and outgoing e-mails are digitally archived in an audit-proof manner.

• Legal basis for the processing of personal data

  Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR (legal obligation). The legal obligation consists of compliance with tax and commercial law requirements (e.g. §§ 146, 147 AO, §§ 238, 257 HGB).

• Purpose of the data processing

  The purpose of archiving is to comply with tax law requirements (e.g. §§ 146, 147 AO - obligation to retain e-mails of relevance to tax law) and commercial law requirements (e.g. §§ 238, 257 HGB - obligation to archive business correspondence).

• Duration of storage

  Our mail communication is stored until the expiry of storage obligations under tax and commercial law. The storage period can be up to 10 years.

• Possibility of objection and deletion

  You can object to the processing at any time in accordance with Article 21 of the GDPR and request the deletion of data in accordance with Article 17 of the GDPR. You can find out which rights you have and how to exercise them at the bottom of this privacy policy.

• Dealing with application documents

  If you have any questions regarding our e-mail archiving system, please contact our data protection officer. In addition, we would like to point out that we only consider application documents in PDF file format. Zipped files (WinZip, WinRAR, 7Zip, etc.) are filtered out by our security systems and will not be delivered. We do not consider applications in Word file format and other file formats and delete them unread. Please note that application documents sent by e-mail without encryption may be opened by third parties before they reach our IT systems. We assume that we may also reply to unencrypted application e-mails unencrypted. If you do not wish this, please let us know in your application e-mail.
