General

This privacy policy meets the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, e-mail address, IP address or user behaviour when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot (or only with a disproportionate effort) relate to your person, e.g. through anonymization, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose. 
Stored personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate reasons for further storage of the data. We inform you in the individual processing operations about the specific storage periods or criteria for storage. Irrespective of this, we store your personal data in individual cases to assert, exercise or defend legal claims and in the presence of statutory retention obligations. 

Information according to Art. 13 GDPR 

This information is aimed at customers, interested parties, suppliers and employees. Your personal data will be processed by us for the following purposes: 

  • To fulfil our contractual obligations to which we are obliged to you (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). 
  • To carry out pre-contractual obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). 
  • To answer inquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). 
  • If you have given us your consent to process your personal data for specific purposes (e.g. to receive our newsletter), the data processing takes place on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). 
  • To fulfil legal obligations to which our company is subject (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR). 
  • If necessary, we also process your data to safeguard our legitimate interests, in particular to assert legal claims and defend in legal disputes or to ensure IT security, to consult and exchange data with credit agencies to determine creditworthiness and default risks, for direct advertising and market research, unless you have objected to the use of your data for this purpose,  measures for business management and further development of services and products, for measures for product and sales optimisation, for measures for risk management, for the prevention or investigation of criminal offences (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). 

Categories of recipients of personal data

Within our company, only those employees have access to the data who absolutely need it to fulfil their tasks (need-to-know principle). Individual processes and services are carried out by carefully selected service providers commissioned in compliance with data protection regulations, who are based within the EEA. If service providers commissioned by us receive access to personal data in the performance of their services, these order processing contracts have been concluded in accordance with Art. 28 (3) GDPR.

Duration of data storage

The data processed by us will be stored for the duration of the existence and execution of the contractual relationship as well as in compliance with statutory retention periods. These are in particular commercial and tax retention obligations under the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Tax Code (AO). The regular retention and documentation periods amount to up to ten years. If there is no contractual relationship, we process the data only as long as the specific purpose requires.

a data subject As a data subject, you have the following rights vis-à-vis us with regard to your personal data:

  • Right to information about your personal data processed by us. 
  • Right to rectification or erasure if these have been incorrect, not current or unlawfully collected by us.

This is the case if, in particular, the processing is not necessary for the performance of a contract with you. When asserting your right to object, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your data as we have done. 

Of course, you can also object to the processing of your personal data for advertising purposes at any time. Please address your objection to our address given in the imprint or send us an e-mail to the address given in the imprint.

Insofar as the right to object to individual processing operations does not exist, this is stated there. 
  • Revocation in accordance with Article 7 (3) GDPR of your consent with effect for the future.

Contact

Type and scope of processing 

If you send us inquiries (e.g. via contact form, e-mail or telephone), we store all data resulting from this (e.g. name, e-mail address, subject of the request, etc.). We need this data to process your request and to be able to answer follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent. 

Purpose and legal basis 

The processing of this data takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. Otherwise, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if you have previously given it. 

 

Speicherdauer 

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected. 

 

Contact form for applicants 

Type and scope of processing 

You have the opportunity to apply to us on our website (e.g. by e-mail, post or via the online application form). 


Purpose and legal basis 

We process the personal data of applicants in accordance with the legal requirements for the purpose of handling the application process and for carrying out pre-contractual measures within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. DSGVO and § 26 BDSG according to German law (initiation of an employment relationship) and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. 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 processed on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship in our data processing systems. 


Storage period 

Your data will be stored for a period of 6 months after the end of the application process. As a rule, this is done to fulfil legal obligations or to defend against any claims arising from legal regulations. Subsequently, we are obliged to delete or anonymize your data. In this case, the data is only available to us as so-called metadata without direct personal reference for statistical evaluations (e.g. proportion of women or men in applications, number of applications per period, etc.). 
If it is apparent that the data will be required after expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to an imminent or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies. 


Inclusion in the applicant pool 

As part of the application, we offer applicants the opportunity to join our "talent pool" for a period of 12 months on the basis of consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. GDPR. 
The application documents in the talent pool will only be processed in the context of future job advertisements and the search for employees and will be destroyed at the latest after the deadline. Applicants are informed that their consent to inclusion in the talent pool is voluntary, has no influence on the current application process and they can revoke this consent at any time for the future. 
If you receive an offer for employment with us as part of the application process and accept it, we will store the personal data collected during the application process for at least the duration of the employment relationship. 


Prescreen 

The data transmitted as part of your application will be transmitted via TLS encryption and stored in a database. This database is operated by Prescreen International GmbH, Mariahilfer Straße 17, 1060 Vienna, Austria, which offers personnel administration and applicant management software. In this context, Prescreen is our processor according to Art. 28 GDPR. The basis for the processing is a contract for order processing between us as the responsible body and Prescreen.

Communication via WhatsApp

For communication with our customers and other third parties, we use, among other things, the instant messaging service WhatsApp Business, WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. 
When you communicate with us via WhatsApp, the chats are end-to-end encrypted. This is to prevent WhatsApp or third parties from gaining access to the contents of the chat. However, WhatsApp has access to metadata that is generated in the course of the communication process (e.g. sender, recipient and time). WhatsApp shares collected personal data with the US-based parent company Meta. Further details on data processing can be found in WhatsApp's privacy policy at: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy. 
The use of WhatsApp is based on our legitimate interest in the fastest and most effective communication possible with customers, interested parties and other business and contractual partners (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO). If you have previously given your consent to data processing, the processing of your data will take place solely on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time. 
The communication content exchanged between and on WhatsApp 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 statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected. 
The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/business-data-transfer-addendum. 
The company is certified according to the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF), an agreement between the European Union and the USA, which aims to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Certification according to the DPF obliges companies to comply with these data protection standards. For more information, please visit: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant-detail?contact=true&id=a2zt00000011sfnAAA&status=Active 
We have set our WhatsApp accounts in such a way that it does not automatically synchronize data with the address book on the smartphones in use. 
In order to ensure that personal data is processed in accordance with our specifications and in compliance with the GDPR, we have concluded a contract for order processing (AVV) with the provider. 

 

Newsletter

We offer you our newsletter on this website. If you would like to subscribe to this, we need your e-mail address and other data that prove that it is your e-mail address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. In addition, no personal data is collected unless you voluntarily provide it (e.g. name, telephone number, place of residence, etc.). 
When processing the data that you provide when registering for the newsletter, we rely exclusively on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address will be stored in a blacklist by us or the shipping service provider for an indefinite period of time. This is done to prevent future mailings to you. The data from the blacklist will be used exclusively for this purpose and will not be merged with other data.

MailChimp

On this website, we use MailChimp services to send newsletters offered by Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. 
We use MailChimp to send our newsletters and analyze newsletter campaigns. We can determine whether recipients open a newsletter e-mail and whether they click on certain links in the e-mail. For this purpose, an e-mail sent with MailChimp contains a file (a so-called web beacon), which establishes a connection to the MailChimp servers in the USA after opening the mail. Your data that you have provided for the purpose of receiving the newsletter (e.g. Your e-mail address) will therefore also be stored on MailChimp's servers in the USA. Furthermore, MailChimp collects technical data (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address and operating system), which, however, cannot be assigned to a specific newsletter recipient and are used exclusively for statistical evaluation or the analysis of campaigns. We can use this analysis to optimize future newsletter mails for you. If you do not want your data to be evaluated by MailChimp for analysis, you can unsubscribe from our newsletter (via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter) at any time. 
The transfer of your personal data to the USA is based on the EU Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses. For more information, see https://mailchimp.com/eu-us-data-transfer-statement/ and https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/#Annex_C_-_Standard_Contractual_Clauses. 
When processing the data that you provide when registering for the newsletter, we rely exclusively on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis. You can revoke your consent to the processing and storage of your personal data at any time (e.g. via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter) for the future. 
We store your personal data, which you have provided for the purpose of receiving the newsletter, until you unsubscribe from the newsletter with us or the shipping service provider. This does not apply to data that we have stored from you for other purposes. 
If you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address will be stored in a blacklist by us or the shipping service provider for an indefinite period of time. This is done to prevent future mailings to you. The data from the blacklist will be used exclusively for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This is not only in your interest, but also in our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, to fulfil our legal obligations when sending newsletters. You can object to the storage if your personal interests outweigh our legitimate interest. 
Further information can be found in MailChimp's privacy policy under https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.
