Cookies use

Cookies are text files that contain data from visited websites or domains and are stored by a browser on the user’s computer. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user during or after his visit within an online offer. Stored information may include, for example, language settings on a website, login status, a shopping cart, or where a video was watched. The term cookies also includes other technologies that perform the same functions as cookies (e.g., when user information is stored using pseudonymous online identifiers, also known as “user IDs”).

The following cookie types and functions are distinguished:

• Temporary cookies (also: session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user has left an online offer and closed his browser.
• Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status can be saved or preferred content can be displayed directly when the user visits a website again. Likewise, the interests of users used for reach measurement or marketing purposes can be stored in such a cookie.
• First-party cookies: First-party cookies are set by ourselves.
• Third-party cookies (also: third-party cookies): Third-party cookies are mainly used by advertisers (so-called third parties) to process user information.
  Necessary (also: essential or absolutely necessary) cookies: Cookies may be absolutely necessary for the operation of a website (e.g. to store logins or other user input or for security reasons).
• Statistical, marketing and personalization cookies: Furthermore, cookies are generally also used in the context of range measurement and when a user’s interests or behavior (e.g. viewing certain content, using functions, etc.) on individual websites are stored in a user profile. Such profiles are used, for example, to show users content that matches their potential interests. This process is also referred to as “tracking”, i.e., tracking the potential interests of users. Insofar as we use cookies or “tracking” technologies, we will inform you separately in our privacy policy or in the context of obtaining consent.

Notes on legal bases: The legal basis on which we process your personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask you for consent. If this is the case and you consent to the use of cookies, the legal basis for processing your data is your declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed with the help of cookies is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in a business operation of our online offer and its improvement) or, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations.

Storage period: If we do not provide you with explicit information on the storage period of permanent cookies (e.g. in the context of a so-called cookie opt-in), please assume that the storage period can be up to two years.

General information on revocation and objection (opt-out): Depending on whether the processing is based on consent or legal permission, you have the option at any time to revoke any consent you have given or to object to the processing of your data by cookie technologies (collectively referred to as “opt-out”). You can initially declare your objection by means of your browser settings, e.g. by deactivating the use of cookies (whereby this may also restrict the functionality of our online offer). An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be declared by means of a variety of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/. In addition, you can obtain further instructions on how to object in the context of the information on the service providers and cookies used.

Processing of cookie data on the basis of consent: We use a cookie consent management procedure in which the consent of users to the use of cookies, or the processing and providers mentioned in the cookie consent management procedure, can be obtained and managed and revoked by users. Here, the declaration of consent is stored in order not to have to repeat its query and to be able to prove the consent in accordance with the legal obligation. The storage can take place on the server side and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie, or with the help of comparable technologies), in order to be able to assign the consent to a user or their device. Subject to individual information on the providers of cookie management services, the following information applies: The duration of the storage of consent can be up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created and stored with the time of consent, information about the scope of consent (e.g., which categories of cookies and/or service providers), as well as the browser, system and end device used.

• Types of data processed: Usage data (e.g. web pages visited, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses).
• Data subjects: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).
• Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a. DSGVO), Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f. DSGVO).

f. Twitter Advertising
Twitter Ads allows advertisers to collect data from users who visit their website. Cookies and code are used that connect the website to another third-party platform such as Twitter. In the process, a non-reversible and non-personal checksum (hash value) is generated from your usage data and transmitted to Twitter for analysis and marketing purposes. In addition, a so-called “Twitter pixel” may be used to track the actions of users after they have seen or clicked on a Twitter advertisement.

User behavior is recorded, such as websites visited, content retrieved, time of visit, etc., but also device-related data such as applications and operating systems used. Your IP address is stored and used for the geographic targeting of advertising. In “cross-device personalization”, Twitter also attempts to identify and link all of a user’s devices. Since the data is stored and processed by Twitter, a connection to the respective user profile on twitter.com is also possible.

There is a risk that your data will be processed in and transferred to the USA, i.e. a third country outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA). For this country, there is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission to ensure that a level of data protection equivalent to the European standard exists there. According to the European Court of Justice (ECJ), there is a particular risk that data will be processed unnoticed by U.S. authorities for surveillance purposes. To establish the secure level of data protection, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with the service provider.

Anonymized data is deleted within 6 months. Data that makes it possible to identify a specific user on Twitter is deleted within 90 days. For more information on the duration of storage, please contact the provider or visit https://legal.twitter.com/ads-terms/international.html.

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data, as well as privacy settings, can be found in Twitter’s privacy policy: https://twitter.com/de/privacy.

Handling of applicant data

We offer you the opportunity to apply for a job with us (e.g. by e-mail, by post or via online application form). In the following we will inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data will be in accordance with the applicable privacy laws and all other legal requirements and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.

Scope and purpose of data collection

If you send us an application, we will process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.) to the extent that this is necessary to make a decision on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG-neu under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit.  b DSGVO (general contract initiation) and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. Consent can be revoked at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be passed on to persons involved in the processing of your application. If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be   stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG-neu and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

Data retention period

If we are unable to offer you a job, if you reject a job offer or if we withdraw your application, we reserve the right  to keep the data you have submitted  with us for up to 6 months from the end of the application procedure (rejection or withdrawal of the application)on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 letter f DSGVO). Afterwards, the data will be deleted and the physical application documents 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 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an imminent or pending legal dispute), the data will only be deleted when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.

A longer storage period can also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit.  a DSGVO) or if legal storage obligations prevent deletion.

Admission to the applicant pool

If we do not offer you a job, there may be the possibility to add you to our pool of applicants. If you are accepted, all documents and details from your 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 solely on your express consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). Your consent is voluntary and has no relation to the ongoing application procedure. The person concerned can revoke his/her consent at any time. In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the pool of applicants, unless there are legal reasons for retention.

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

Data collection, data storage

We process personal data that we receive from you in the course of our business relationship.

We process – as far as necessary for the provision of our services – personal data which we have permissibly received from other companies (e.g. for the execution of orders, for the fulfilment of contracts or on the basis of a consent given by you).

We process personal data that we have obtained from publicly accessible sources (e.g. press, media) and are permitted to process.

Relevant personal data are master data (name, address and other contact data, company, company address and other company contact data). Furthermore, this can also be order data (e.g. order data, product data), data from the fulfillment of our contractual obligations (e.g. sales), creditworthiness data, scoring/rating data, advertising and sales data (including advertising scores), documentation data (e.g. from documented conversations), data about your use of our offered tele media (e.g. calling up our newsletters) and other data comparable to the categories mentioned.

The data processing is carried out at your request and is required in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b DSGVO for the purposes mentioned for the appropriate processing of the order and for the mutual fulfilment of obligations arising from the contract.

The personal data collected by us for the fulfilment of the order will be stored until the expiry of the statutory storage obligation (up to 10 years after the end of the order) and deleted thereafter, unless we are obliged to store the data for a longer period of time in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 S. 1 lit.  c DSGVO due to storage and documentation obligations under tax and commercial law (from HGB, StGB or AO) or you   have consented to storage beyond this period in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 S. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

Data collection as part of the balancing of interests (Art. 6 para. 1 letter F DSGVO)

As far as necessary, we process your data beyond the actual fulfillment of the contract to protect legitimate interests of us or third parties, e.g.:

• Data exchange with credit agencies (e.g. SCHUFA) to determine creditworthiness or default risks;
• Testing and optimization of procedures for demand analysis and direct customer contact;
• Advertising or market and opinion research, as long as they have not objected to the use of your data;
• Assertion of legal claims and defense in legal disputes;
• Ensuring the IT security and IT operation of our company;
• Prevention and investigation of criminal offences;
• Measures for building and plant security (e.g. access controls);

• Meeting internal requirements and the requirements of our affiliated companies,
• Assertion of legal claims and defense in legal disputes
• Prevention and investigation of crimes, risk management and fraud prevention

Our interest and that of the additional responsible persons in the respective processing results from the respective purposes and is otherwise of an economic nature (efficient performance of tasks, distribution, avoidance of legal risks). As far as the specific purpose allows, we and the additional responsible persons process your data pseudonymized or anonymized.

If you have given us your consent to process personal data for specific purposes (e.g. for sending newsletters), the legality of this processing is based on your consent. A given consent can be revoked at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent that were given to us before 25 May 2018.

Due to legal requirements (Art. 6 para. 1 letter c DSGVO)

We are subject to various legal obligations, i.e. legal requirements (e.g. terrorist list regulations, money laundering law, tax laws), on the basis of which we must process personal data. The purposes of the processing include fraud and money laundering prevention, the fulfillment of tax law monitoring and reporting obligations, and the assessment and management of risks.

Within our company, your data will be passed on to those departments that require it to fulfil their contractual and legal obligations or to perform their respective tasks (e.g. sales and marketing).  In addition, the following entities may receive your data: contract processors employed by us (Art. 28 DSGVO), in particular in the field of IT services, logistics and printing services, who process your data for us in accordance with your instructions, public bodies and institutions in the event of a statutory or official obligation to do so, and our respective agents, employees, representatives, authorised representatives, auditors, service providers and any subsidiaries or group companies (and their respective agents, employees, consultants, representatives, authorised representatives).

It should be noted that our business relationship is regularly a continuous obligation that is designed to last for years. In addition, we are subject to various storage and documentation obligations, which result from the German Commercial Code (HGB) or the German Fiscal Code (AO), among others. The periods of retention or documentation stipulated there range from two to ten years. Finally, the duration of storage is also assessed according to the statutory limitation periods, which, for example, according to §§ 195 ff. of the German Civil Code (BGB), are usually three years, but in certain cases can be up to thirty years.
