3. General information and mandatory notices

Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various pieces of personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may have security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to completely protect data against access by third parties.

Notice regarding the responsible party

The party responsible for data processing on this website is:

DELUCKS GmbH Dall'Armistr. 23A 80638 Munich

Phone: +49 89 23753888 Email: kontakt@delucks.com

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place once these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, insofar as special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on Section 25 (1) TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is required to fulfil a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Notice on data transfer to third countries without an adequate level of data protection and to US companies not certified under the DPF

Among others, we use tools from companies based in third countries without an adequate level of data protection, as well as US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. We point out that in third countries without an adequate level of data protection, a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed.

We note that the USA is generally considered a safe third country with a level of data protection comparable to the EU. A transfer of data to the USA is permissible if the recipient holds a certification under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF) or has suitable additional safeguards in place. Information on transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This sometimes requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in the disclosure, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure of data. When using processors, we only pass on our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, an agreement on joint processing is concluded.

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of any data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Access to information, rectification and erasure

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. You may contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its erasure.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - with the exception of its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons, and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address line changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Encrypted payment transactions on this website

If, after concluding a contract subject to a fee, you are obliged to send us your payment details (e.g. account number for direct debit authorisation), this data is required to process payment.

Payment transactions using common means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL/TLS connection. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address line changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

With encrypted communication, your payment data transmitted to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to promotional emails

The use of contact details published as part of the legal notice obligation for sending advertising and information material not expressly requested is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of promotional information, for example via spam emails.

4. Data collection on this website

Our internet pages use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to evaluate user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g. for the shopping cart function), or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR unless another legal basis is stated. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Where consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDSG); consent can be withdrawn at any time.

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 automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

Our website uses the consent technology of Borlabs Cookie to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies in your browser or the use of certain technologies, and to document this in a manner compliant with data protection law. The provider of this technology is Borlabs GmbH, Rübenkamp 32, 22305 Hamburg (hereinafter Borlabs).

When you access our website, a Borlabs cookie is stored in your browser in which the consents you have given, or the withdrawal of such consents, are stored. This data is not passed on to the provider of Borlabs Cookie.

The collected data is stored until you ask us to delete it, delete the Borlabs cookie yourself, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected. Details on data processing by Borlabs Cookie can be found at https://de.borlabs.io/kb/welche-daten-speichert-borlabs-cookie/.

The Borlabs Cookie consent technology is used to obtain the legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

You decide whether and which information this is via your Google security settings, which you can find here: https://myaccount.google.com/security and https://myaccount.google.com/permissions.

The data processing associated with Google registration is based on our legitimate interest in enabling as simple a registration process as possible for our users (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

However, according to Facebook, the data collected is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.

If you decide to register with Facebook Connect and click on the "Login with Facebook"/"Connect with Facebook" button, you will automatically be redirected to the Facebook platform.

Audience building via customer matching

For audience building, we use, among other things, the customer matching feature of Google Ads Remarketing. Here, we pass certain customer data (e.g. email addresses) from our customer lists to Google. If the customers concerned are Google users and logged into their Google account, they will be shown matching advertising messages within the Google network (e.g. on YouTube, Gmail, or in the search engine).

Comment function on this website

For the comment function on this page, in addition to your comment, information on the time the comment was created, your email address and, if you do not post anonymously, the username you chose are stored.

Storage of the IP address

Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who write comments. As we do not check comments on this website before they are published, we need this data in order to be able to take action against the author in the event of legal violations such as insults or propaganda.

Subscribing to comments

As a user of the site, you can subscribe to comments after registering. You will receive a confirmation email to check that you are the holder of the email address provided. You can unsubscribe from this function at any time via a link in the info emails. The data entered as part of subscribing to comments will be deleted in this case; however, if you have transmitted this data to us for other purposes and elsewhere (e.g. newsletter subscription), this data will remain with us.

Storage period of comments

Comments and the associated data are stored and remain on this website until the commented content has been completely deleted or the comments must be deleted for legal reasons (e.g. offensive comments).

Legal basis

Comments are stored on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can withdraw consent you have given at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

5. Analysis tools and advertising

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Tag Manager is a tool that helps us integrate tracking or statistics tools and other technologies on our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, does not store cookies, and does not carry out its own analyses. It merely manages and triggers the tools integrated via it. However, Google Tag Manager does collect your IP address, which may also be transferred to Google's parent company in the United States.

The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the fast and straightforward integration and management of various tools on its website. Where appropriate consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, length of stay, operating systems used, and the origin of the user. This data is combined into a user ID and assigned to the respective end device of the website visitor.

Furthermore, with Google Analytics we can, among other things, record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks. Google Analytics also uses various modelling approaches to supplement the collected data sets and uses machine-learning technologies in data analysis.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The transfer of data to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

IP anonymisation

Google Analytics IP anonymisation is activated on this site. This means your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

Browser plug-in

You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

More information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.

Google Signals

We use Google Signals. When you visit our website, Google Analytics collects, among other things, your location, search history, and YouTube history, as well as demographic data (visitor data). This data can be used with the help of Google Signals for personalised advertising. If you have a Google account, the visitor data from Google Signals is linked to your Google account and used for personalised advertising messages. The data is also used to create anonymised statistics on the user behaviour of our users.

Data processing agreement

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

Google Analytics e-commerce measurement

This website uses the "e-commerce measurement" feature of Google Analytics. With the help of e-commerce measurement, the website operator can analyse the purchasing behaviour of website visitors in order to improve its online marketing campaigns. Information such as orders placed, average order values, shipping costs, and the time from viewing to purchasing a product is recorded.

Microsoft Advertising

The website operator uses Microsoft Advertising. Microsoft Advertising is an online advertising programme of Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA.

Microsoft Advertising enables us to display advertisements on the Bing search engine or on third-party websites when a user enters certain search terms on Bing (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be displayed based on user data available at Microsoft (e.g. location data and interests) (audience targeting). As the website operator, we can quantitatively evaluate this data, for example by analysing which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and how many advertisements led to corresponding clicks.

On this page we use Universal Event Tracking (UET) from Microsoft Advertising. Pseudonymised data is collected here to track which actions you take on our website after clicking on an advertisement on Microsoft Advertising. UET records your IP address (anonymised), device identifiers, information on device and browser settings, Microsoft Click ID (stored in a cookie), length of stay on the website, which areas of the website were accessed, which advertisement led you to the website, and the keyword clicked.

The use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The transfer of data to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/compliance/regulatory/offering-eu-model-clauses.

Among other things, this allows us to find out when which page views took place and which region visitors are coming from. We also collect various log files (e.g. IP address, referrer, browsers and operating systems used) and can measure whether our website visitors carry out certain actions (e.g. clicks, purchases, etc.).

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its web offering and its advertising.

We do not receive any information that would allow us to personally identify the user. Google itself uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies for identification.

The use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Meta Pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel)

This website uses the Facebook/Meta visitor action pixel for conversion measurement. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However, according to Facebook, the data collected is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.

This makes it possible to track the behaviour of site visitors after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook advertisement. This allows the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimised.

The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, so 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 (https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/). This enables Facebook to place advertisements on Facebook pages as well as outside of Facebook. This use of data cannot be influenced by us as the site operator.

The use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

We use the advanced matching feature within Meta Pixel.

Advanced matching allows us to transmit various types of data (e.g. place of residence, state, postcode, hashed email addresses, names, gender, date of birth, or telephone number) of our customers and prospects, which we collect via our website, to Meta (Facebook). By activating this, we can tailor our advertising campaigns on Facebook even more precisely to people who are interested in our offerings. Advanced matching also improves the attribution of website conversions and expands custom audiences.

The transfer of data to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum and https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381.

LinkedIn Insight Tag

This website uses LinkedIn's Insight Tag. The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Data processing by LinkedIn Insight Tag

With the help of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we receive information about visitors to our website. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can, among other things, analyse the professional data (e.g. career level, company size, country, location, industry and job title) of our website visitors and thereby better target our page to the respective audiences. Furthermore, with the help of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we can measure whether visitors to our website make a purchase or take some other action (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement can also take place across devices (e.g. from PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also offers a retargeting function, with the help of which we can display targeted advertising to visitors of our website outside the website, whereby, according to LinkedIn, no identification of the advertising recipient takes place.

LinkedIn itself also collects so-called log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties, and time of access). IP addresses are shortened or (if used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymised). Direct identifiers of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymised data is then deleted within 180 days.

The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be assigned to specific individuals by us as the website operator. LinkedIn will store the personal data collected from website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it as part of its own advertising measures. Details can be found in LinkedIn's privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig.

Brevo is a service that can be used, among other things, to organise and analyse the sending of newsletters. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter is stored on Sendinblue GmbH's servers in Germany.

Data analysis by Brevo

With the help of Brevo, we are able to analyse our newsletter campaigns. For example, we can see whether a newsletter message was opened and which links, if any, were clicked. This allows us to determine, among other things, which links were clicked particularly often.

We can also see whether certain predefined actions were carried out after opening/clicking (conversion rate). For example, we can see whether you made a purchase after clicking on the newsletter.

Brevo also allows us to divide ("cluster") newsletter recipients according to various categories. Newsletter recipients can be divided, for example, by age, gender, or place of residence. This allows the newsletter to be better tailored to the respective target audiences.

If you do not want analysis by Brevo, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message for this purpose.

Detailed information on Brevo's functions can be found at the following link: https://www.brevo.com/newsletter-software/.

Legal basis

Data processing is carried out on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

Storage period

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

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

10. Audio and video conferencing

Data processing

We use online conferencing tools, among others, to communicate with our customers. The tools we use in detail are listed below. If you communicate with us via video or audio conference over the internet, your personal data is collected and processed by us and the provider of the respective conferencing tool.

The conferencing tools collect all data that you provide/use to use the tools (email address and/or your telephone number). Furthermore, the conferencing tools process the duration of the conference, the beginning and end (time) of participation in the conference, the number of participants, and other "context information" related to the communication process (metadata).

Furthermore, the tool provider processes all technical data required to carry out 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 speaker, and connection type.

Insofar as content is exchanged, uploaded or otherwise provided within the tool, this is also stored on the tool providers' servers. Such content includes, in particular, cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared while using the service.

Please note that we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the tools used. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider. Further information on data processing by the conferencing tools can be found in the privacy policies of the tools used, which we have listed below.

Purpose and legal bases

The conferencing tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contracting 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 speed up communication with us or our company (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Where consent has been requested, the tools in question are used on the basis of this consent; consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

Storage period

The data collected directly by us via the video and conferencing tools is deleted from our systems as soon as you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

We have no influence over the storage period of your data stored by the operators of the conferencing tools for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the conferencing tools directly.

11. Our own services

Handling applicant data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by email, post, or via an online application form). Below we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions, and that your data is treated in strict confidence.

Scope and purpose of data collection

If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes made during interviews, etc.), insofar as this is necessary for a decision on establishing an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (general initiation of a contract) and - if you have given consent - Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. Your personal data is passed on within our company exclusively to persons involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data you submit will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

Retention period of the data

If we are unable to offer you a position, if you decline an offer, or if you 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 process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be deleted and physical application documents destroyed. Retention serves, in particular, evidentiary purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If it becomes apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place once the purpose for further retention no longer applies.

Longer retention may also take place if you have given corresponding consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations preclude deletion.

Inclusion in the applicant pool

If we are unable to offer you a position, there may be the option of including you in our applicant pool. If you are included, all documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you should suitable vacancies arise.

Inclusion in the applicant pool takes place exclusively on the basis of your express consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). Giving consent is voluntary and unrelated to the ongoing application process. The data subject may withdraw their consent at any time. In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool, provided there are no statutory reasons for retention.
