The following information gives an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under current data protection legislation.
1. Who is responsible for this data processing and whom can I contact?
3. What data do we use?
You can visit our websites without disclosing your identity, unless you send us an email or a message using a contact form, register for our events, apply for a job with us, or use our online services. We will only process the information necessary to respond to your request or to provide our services. The type of data collected is indicated in the respective input forms. The required data are marked as mandatory fields. If we ask for further information, you are not required to supply it. We will use this information to make our offerings better suited to your needs. In all other cases, we will only use the information necessary to contact you.
4. For what purposes and on what legal basis do we use your data?
The processing of personal data is necessary to offer our services and to provide pre-contractual actions resulting from your enquiry.
If you have given us your consent to process personal data for specific purposes (such as ordering a newsletter), this processing is legal on the basis of your consent. You may revoke your consent at any time. Please note that such revocation is only with future effect. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected by this.
We also process your data beyond the actual fulfilment of the contract in order to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties.
If you would like to receive our newsletter, we require a valid email address as well as information which allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive this newsletter. No additional data is collected or will only be collected on a voluntary basis. We only use this data to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
The processing of the data entered when signing up for our newsletter is exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may revoke consent to the storage of your data and email address as well as their use for sending the newsletter at any time just by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in this application procedure is primarily §26 BDSG in the version valid from May 25, 2018. It allows the processing of data required in connection with the decision to establish an employment relationship. Should the data be necessary for legal prosecution after completion of the application procedure, data may be processed on the basis of the requirements of Art. 6 GDPR, in particular to safeguard legitimate interests under Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our interest would then consist of asserting or defending against claims.
By submitting your application, you agree that we may store and process your data for the purposes of hiring, staffing, and recruitment. You may revoke this consent at any time and withdraw your application.
The personal data provided on your application will be processed by us exclusively for the purposes of processing your application and the hiring process. Hiring will be coordinated with the responsible staff members in HR and managers in the respective department.
Your data will be deleted six months after completion of the application process, unless you agree to a longer retention period in order to take you into account in future job postings if necessary. If you are hired, your personal data will be copied into your personnel file.
Members with access to the internal area of our websites must log in with their user name and password. If you do so, a cookie will be stored locally on your computer, allowing you to return to the site and continue using it without having to re-enter your login information. The cookie is valid for four weeks. You can disable this feature on our website or in your browser settings. The cookie is only intended to simplify your visit to our websites, e.g. by automatically entering your name and address in the form when registering for an event.
5. Who will receive my data?
Within BVE , all departments that need access to your data in order to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations are granted access to it. In order to respond to inquiries, it may be necessary to pass it to third parties, such as our partner association Bund für Lebensmittelrecht und Lebensmittelkunde e.V. (BLL) or individual members. Service providers and vicarious agents employed by us may also receive data for these purposes if they maintain confidentiality and comply with our data protection instructions. Data will only be disclosed to third parties within the framework of the regulations of the GDPR and BDSG. Data that we receive from you as part of our participant management system may be passed on to the event organizer.
The personal data collected by us will be passed on to the transport company (such as DHL), if necessary for the order to be delivered.
6. Will data be transferred to a third country?
Data will not be transferred to countries outside the EU or the EEA (so-called third countries).
We process and store your personal data as long as it is necessary for the fulfilment of our contractual and legal obligations. If the data is no longer required to fulfil contractual or statutory obligations, it will be deleted, unless is further processing is required to meet statutory retention obligations under commercial and tax laws. The periods for storage and documentation specified therein range from six to ten years.
8. What data protection rights do I have?
You have the right to information under Art. 15 GDPR, the right to correct the data on file under Art. 16 GDPR, the right to delete it under Art. 17 GDPR, the right to restrict its processing under Art. 18 GDPR, the right to object to its storage under Art. 21 GDPR, and the right to have it transferred under Art. 20 GDPR. You also have the right to appeal to a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR in conjunction with §19 BDSG).
You can revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. Please note that such revocation is only with future effect. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected by this. Please note also our notice on your right to object per Art. 21 GDPR.
To exercise your rights, please use the above contact information to contact our data protection officer.
9. Is there an obligation to provide data?
In the context of our business relationship or an order for services, you must provide that personal data necessary to make a business relationship possible and fulfil the associated contractual obligations or which we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will usually have to refuse to enter into a contract with you or fulfil your order; we may also have to terminate an existing relationship.
10. Do you use my date in any automated decision making or profiling?
We do not use any fully automated decision making or profiling as described in Art. 22 GDPR. In the event that we use profiling for targeted marketing or public relations work, you will be notified separately.
You have the right, for reasons arising from your specific situation, to object to the processing of personal data. The data processing must have been declared to be in the public interest or legal after balancing the interests of the parties involved. This also applies to profiling. In the event of your objection, we will no longer process your personal data, unless we can prove compelling grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
In individual cases, we may use your personal data for our public relations work. You have the right to object at any time. This also applies to profiling in connection with direct advertising campaigns. In the event of your objection, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes. There are no formal requirements for the objection, but it should be addressed our data protection officer at the above-mentioned address, if possible.
12. What data is processed when using the website?
When you visit our website, we receive usage data. This includes information such as screen resolution, browser version, the type of internet access, operating system, language, plug-ins used, the country or region you are accessing the site from, and search engines that may have referred you. This data is used solely for statistical purposes and will not be transferred to third parties. No evaluation of your specific behaviour will take place.
13. How secure is my data?

All information transferred using this secure method is encrypted before it is sent to us. Your personal data will only be processed by data centres and computers that meet industry standards (e.g. firewalls, password protection, access controls, etc.) and are protected by security technologies .
14. Which third-party modules, plugins, and tools are used on the website?
This site uses the Google Maps map service via an API. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
To use Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We have no control over this transfer of data. The use of Google Maps is in the interest of making our website appealing and to facilitate locating the places we specify on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
Our website uses plugins from YouTube, which is operated by Google. The operator of these pages is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.
If you visit one of our pages which feature a YouTube plugin, a connection is established to the YouTube servers. The YouTube server is then informed about which of our pages you have visited.
If you are logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube allows you to associate your browsing behaviour directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
YouTube is used in the interests of making our online presence more attractive. This constitutes a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
Our websites contain so-called social plugins ("plugins") of the social online networks Facebook.com, Twitter.com, Linkedin.com and Plus.Google.com. In order to increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, the plugins are integrated into the site using the double opt-in solution. This integration ensures that no connection to the servers of Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, or Google+ is established when you access a page of our website that contains such plugins. Only when you activate the plugin and thus give your consent to the transmission of data, will your browser make a direct connection to the servers of Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin. and Google+. The content of the plugin is transferred directly to your browser and embedded into the site. The plugin will then send data (including your IP address) to the operators of these social networks. We have no control over the scope of data that social networks collect using the plugins. To the best of our knowledge, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+ will receive information about which of our websites you have visited currently and previously. By accessing the plugin, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and Google+ receive the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a profile with the relevant social network or are not currently logged in. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a server operated by Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, or Google+ in the USA and stored there. The information may also be published on the social network and displayed to your contacts there.
Please see the privacy policies of the respective networks for the purpose and scope of data collection and further processing and use of data by social networks as well as your rights and settings options in this regard for protecting your privacy.
If you are a member of one of the social networks and wish to limit the collection of information about our websites and the aggregation of your user data with the information about you stored on that social network, you should log out before visiting our website.
