But we want to be completely open: The Internet lives from data exchange and still has many security gaps. Even if your data is encrypted when you visit our website, there is always a residual risk when exchanging data with other websites at the latest. If you visit other websites - for example via a link on our website - please note that this data protection declaration does not apply to this external website.
Personal data in this sense are all individual details about personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person, such as name, address or e-mail address but also IP addresses.
If you have specific questions about your personal data, deletion of your personal data or similar things, you can contact our Data Privacy Officer via e-mail at privacy@watchmaster.com.
Unless otherwise stated, we will delete or anonymise your data as soon as it is no longer needed (e.g. your e-mail address after you have unsubscribed from our newsletter). Your data will also be deleted or anonymised automatically if the mandatory storage period expires (e.g. those required by law for payment transactions). Such data may be needed for longer periods of time for legal reasons. You can request information about all personal data we have stored about you.
The most interesting thing for you as a visitor to our website is probably your IP address, since this can theoretically be traced back to you as a person. As a safeguard to protect your privacy, we delete or anonymise your IP address after your visit. Therefore, all other data possibly attached to it can no longer be traced back to you. It will only serve anonymous and statistical purposes to optimise our website. The purpose of temporarily storing this data is necessary to establish a connection as well as loading our website the way it was designed to. Such data is therefore required to display the website on your screen, to avoid display problems and other technical error messages. The legal basis is the legitimate interest in accordance with the European data protection requirements under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. In addition, we apply the aforementioned safeguards to protect your data.
When you contact us directly via e-mail we only store your e-mail address and the corresponding content for the purpose of your request and delete it afterwards.
As a safeguard to protect your privacy, contact is established via an encrypted connection - just like a visit to the rest of the website. In addition, we apply the principle of data minimization and collect only the data actually required in the contact form. After the successful establishment of contact with you and final omission of the contact reason your data are deleted. The purpose of the data requested is to contact you, which is why the data is only used for this purpose. The legal basis is your consent in accordance with the European data protection requirements under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends corresponding application documents to us by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents shall be deleted 3 months after notification of the decision of refusal, provided that no other legitimate interests of us stand in the way of deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The purpose of the data requested is to create a user account for the use of advanced functions on the website. Registration is voluntary and can be revoked or the user data deleted at any time.
