General information on data processing

a) Scope of the processing of personal data

As a matter of principle, we process personal data of our users only to the extent that this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly carried out only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.

b) Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain consent from the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 (1) lit. d DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.

c) Data deletion and storage period

We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data economy. The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. Storage may take place beyond this if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

Provision of the website and creation of log files

a) Description and scope of data processing

Each time our website is called up, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.

The following data is collected in this process:

  • Information about the browser type and the version used.
  • The operating system of the user
  • The user's IP address, shortened by one octet
  • Date and time of access
  • URL of the website

This data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

b) Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

c) Purpose of the data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

These purposes are also our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

d) Duration of storage

In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after fourteen days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

e) Possibility of objection and removal

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

Use of cookies

In order to make the visit to our website more user-friendly and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user's computer system. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your terminal device and enable us or our partner companies (third-party cookies) to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). If cookies are set, they collect and process certain user information such as browser and location data and IP address values to an individual extent. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which may vary depending on the cookie.

If personal data is also processed by individual cookies implemented by us, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO to protect our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website as well as a customer-friendly and effective design of the site visit.

We may work together with advertising partners who help us to make our internet offer more interesting for you.

Consent given to us can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

The user has the possibility to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e-mail, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time (see "Your rights under the GDPR" and the contact details of the controller). In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. All personal data stored in the course of contacting you will be deleted in this case.

If we process personal data about you for the purpose of your application for employment, this will only be done to the extent necessary for the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 (1) in conjunction with. Para. 8 p. 2 BDSG.

Furthermore, we may process personal data about you insofar as this is necessary for the defense of asserted legal claims against us arising from the application process. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO; the legitimate interest is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

Insofar as an employment relationship arises between you and us, we may further process the personal data already received from you for the purposes of the employment relationship in accordance with Section 26 (1) BDSG if this is necessary for the implementation or termination of the employment relationship or for the exercise or fulfillment of the rights and obligations of the employee representation resulting from a law or a collective bargaining agreement, a company or service agreement (collective agreement).

We process data related to your application. This may be general personal data (such as name, address and contact details), information on your professional qualifications and school education or information on further professional training or other information that you provide to us in connection with your application. In addition, we may process job-related information that you have made publicly available, such as a profile on professional social media networks.

We store the personal data you provide for the purpose of your application for as long as is necessary to make a decision about your application. Insofar as an employment relationship between you and us does not materialize, we may continue to store data beyond this, insofar as this is necessary for the defense against possible legal claims. In this case, the application documents are deleted four months after notification of the rejection decision, unless longer storage is required due to legal disputes.

Presence in social networks (social media)

We maintain online presences within social networks and process data of our users in this context in order to communicate with the users active there or to offer information about us. As the operator of these sites, we are jointly responsible with the respective network partners within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 7 DSGVO. We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may result in risks for our users because, for example, it could make it more difficult to enforce the rights of users.

In addition, user data is usually processed within social networks for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created based on the usage behavior and resulting interests of the users. The usage profiles can also be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the networks that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the computers of the users, in which the usage behavior and the interests of the users are stored. Furthermore, data independent of the devices used by the users may also be stored in the usage profiles (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them.

With regard to a detailed presentation of the respective forms of processing and the options to object (opt-out), we refer to the data protection statements and information provided by the operators of the respective networks.

In the case of requests for information and the assertion of data subject rights, we point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers.

Creditreform Boniversum information according to Art. 14 EU-DSGVO

Our company regularly checks your creditworthiness when concluding contracts and, in certain cases where there is a legitimate interest, also for existing customers. For this purpose, we work together with Creditreform

Boniversum GmbH, Hammfelddamm 13, 41460 Neuss, from which we receive the necessary data. On behalf of Creditreform Boniversum, we inform you in advance of the following information pursuant to Art.

14 EU-DSGVO:

Creditreform Boniversum GmbH is a consumer credit agency. It operates a database in which creditworthiness information about private individuals is stored.

On this basis, Creditreform Boniversum issues credit reports to its customers. Clients include, for example, credit institutions, leasing companies, insurance companies, telecommunications companies, receivables management companies, mail order, wholesale and retail companies, and other companies that supply goods or services. Within the framework of the legal provisions, part of the data available in the information database is also used to supply other company databases, including for use for address trading purposes.

In the Creditreform Boniversum database, information is stored in particular on the name, address, date of birth, e-mail address (if applicable), payment history and shareholdings of individuals. The purpose of processing the stored data is to provide information about the creditworthiness of the requested person. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1f) EU-DSGVO. Accordingly, information about this data may only be provided if a customer credibly demonstrates a legitimate interest in knowing this information. If data is transferred to countries outside the EU, this is done on the basis of the so-called "standard contractual clauses".

The data is stored as long as its knowledge is necessary for the fulfillment of the purpose of the storage. As a rule, knowledge is necessary for an initial storage period of three years. After expiration, a check is made to determine whether storage is still necessary; if not, the data is deleted on a day-by-day basis. If a case is settled, the data is deleted on a daily basis three years after settlement.
