We are pleased that you visit the website www.schmidtsche-schack.com of ARVOS GmbH (hereinafter referred to as “ARVOS“) and thank you for your interest in our company, our products and our websites.
The protection of your privacy when using our websites is of great importance to us. Therefore we use your data in compliance with the legal regulations on data protection.
a)The protection of your privacy when using our websites is very important to us. Accordingly, we use your personal data in accordance with the statutory provisions on data protection and privacy. Personal data is all data that is related to you personally, e.g. name, address, e-mail address, user behavior. Below we inform you about how we handle your personal data.
You can reach our data protection officer by e-mail at datenschutz.scs@arvos-group.com or by mail at ARVOS GmbH using the subject line "data protection officer".
c) If you are under the age of 16, please obtain permission from a parent or guardian before providing any personal information to us.
a) In principle, you can visit our website without telling us who you are. Usually with almost all websites, the server on which our website is located (hereinafter referred to as "web server") automatically collects information from you when you visit us on the Internet. This data is technically necessary for us and guarantees the stability and security of the website.
We regularly evaluate these server protocols anonymously for statistical purposes (click stream analyses) so that we can determine how our websites are used. On the basis of these findings, we then optimize our Internet presence.
Moreover in the event of system misuse, we may use this information in conjunction with your Internet service provider and/or local authorities to determine the perpetrator of the misuse.
The server log files are stored for a maximum of 1 year and then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, e.g. to clarify cases of misuse. If data must be stored in order to preserve it for evidentiary purposes, this data shall be excluded from deletion until the incident has been finally resolved.
b) In addition to the aforementioned data, cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard drive assigned to the browser you are using and through which certain information flows to the location that sets the cookie (here by us). Cookies cannot execute programs or transmit viruses to your computer. On the whole, they serve to make the Internet offer more user-friendly and effective.
bb) Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. This includes in particular the session cookies. They store a so-called session ID, which can be used to assign various requests from your browser to the shared session. This enables your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.
cc) Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, but at the latest after 2 years, which may differ depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser.
dd) You can configure your browser settings according to your wishes and, for example, refuse the acceptance of third-party cookies or all cookies. We would like to point out that you may not be able to use all the functions of this website.
We allow third parties to place cookies on your computer via these websites.
(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google in advance within the Member States of the European Union or in other Contracting States to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. 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, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and Internet usage to the website operator.
(2) The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be commingled with other Google data.
(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". This means that IP addresses are truncated for further processing and that it is not possible to identify you as a person. Insofar as the data collected about you is personal, this is immediately excluded and the personal data deleted immediately.
(5) We use Google Analytics to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. The statistics obtained allow us to improve our services and make them more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is set forth in Art. 6 (1)(f) DGPR.

In this context, we may be required to cross-check your contact information or identity with relevant sanctions lists and confirm your identity in the event of a possible match, record information about our cooperation with you where relevant under antitrust law, and report to or assist with investigations by relevant regulatory, law enforcement, or other competent government authorities.

If you contact us by e-mail, you may alter the scope of or completely revoke your consent to the storage of your personal data at any time effective into the future and without the need to justify your decision. In such case, the preservation of your data and information may not continue. You may transmit your revocation to us either by mail, e-mail, fax (address information etc. cf.

(3) You can register so that the application process becomes transparent for you. For this purpose you need to enter your name and your e-mail address as well as a password. These data are needed to set up and manage an account in the career portal for you. We need these data and possibly also further data to respond to requests, questions and criticism.
Data which are absolutely required for processing in order to determine your suitability for a job are marked as mandatory fields.
Furthermore you have the possibility to communicate to us in the form sheet further data, which make it easier for us to process your application (for example name of specific job and salary request). This information is voluntary.

In addition, the data are collected for the following purposes: Analytics, interaction with support and evaluation platforms, administration of support and contact requests, administration of user databases, administration of contacts and sending of messages, contacting the user, access to profiles of third providers (e.g. login via LinkedIn and XING), display of contents from external platforms.
The person-related data which are used for the specified purposes are indicated in the relevant sections of this document.
The provision of your personal data is not a legal obligation. This means that you are not obliged to provide us with your personal data. If you decide not to provide us with your personal data, it will not be possible for you to use the services offered on or through the website.
There is no automatic decision-making based exclusively on automated processing, including profiling, resulting in any legal or similar obligation affecting you.
If the processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time effective into the future. This shall not affect the legal validity of any processing taking place up until you have revoked such consent.
If you are of the opinion that we process your personal data in an impermissible manner, please contact us by e-mail at datenschutz.scs@arvos-group.com or via a letter addressed to ARVOS GmbH using the subject line "Data Protection Officer". You also have the right to contact the data protection supervisory authority. The responsible supervisory authority is "Der Hessische Datenschutzbeauftragte, Gustav-Stresemann-Ring 1, 65189 Wiesbaden”.
Your data will mainly be processed in Germany. Under certain circumstances, however, it may also be possible for the data to be accessed by foreign Group companies, for example by contacting them via e-mail.
• Government authorities, offices, and banks.
If individual service providers or affiliates are located outside of the EU, there may not be an adequate level of data protection there compared to the level of data protection and privacy within the European Union. This means that the data protection and privacy laws in the country to which your data may be transferred do not provide the same level of protection as in Germany. We have therefore taken appropriate protective measures to ensure data protection: standard contracts for order processing or standard contract clauses within the Group and with external service providers. Agreements for data processing by independent contractors have been executed in accordance with Art. 28 DGPR, the standard contract clauses in accordance with EU regulations (https://eurlex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32010D0087&from=DE). You can obtain a copy of these protective measures from datenschutz.scs@arvos-group.com.
Insofar as we forward data and information to our service providers within the scope of the services described herein, these service providers are obligated under contract with us with respect to provisions on the subject of data protection and privacy in addition to mandatory statutory provisions.
We use security measures, which we continuously optimize in accordance with technical and legal developments in order to protect your data and privacy as best as possible against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, or access by unauthorized third parties.
We have no influence on whether these operators comply with data protection and privacy regulations and therefore accept no responsibility for the accuracy, timeliness, and sufficiency of the information provided there.
If you have any questions or comments about our policies on data protection and privacy and cookies, please contact our authorized representative using the contact details provided in this policy statement (cf. Section 1).
The rapid development of the Internet makes it necessary for us to amend our data protection and privacy policies from time to time. Information about changes will be posted here.
