Visitors and users of our online services.
Here we, or our hosting provider, processes inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data of customers, interested parties and visitors to this online service on the basis of our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure provision of this online service acc. Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR icw Art. 28 GDPR.
The hosting provider of the websites www.e15.com and www.philippmainzer.com is Variomedia AG, August-Bebel-Str. 68, 14482 Potsdam. The location of the server is in Germany.
We, or our hosting provider, collects on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f. GDPR data on every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files). The access data includes the name of the retrieved web page, file, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred, notification of successful retrieval, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), the anonymized IP address and the requesting provider.
Logfile information is stored for security purposes (for example, to investigate abusive or fraudulent activities). Data whose further retention is required for evidential purposes are excluded from deletion until the final clarification of the incident.
We process the applicant data only for the purpose and in the context of the application process in accordance with the legal requirements. The processing of the applicant data takes place in order to fulfill our (pre-) contractual obligations in the context of the application process within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. b. GDPR Art. 6 (1) lit. f. GDPR if the data processing e.g. is required for us in the context of legal proceedings (in Germany, § 26 BDSG applies additionally).
The application process requires applicants to provide us with applicant information. The necessary applicant data are derived from the job descriptions. Basically, this includes the personal information, postal and contact addresses and the application documents, such as cover letter, CV and certificates. In addition, applicants can voluntarily provide us with additional information.
Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR are voluntarily communicated within the framework of the application procedure, their processing is additionally carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) lit. b GDPR (e.g., health information such as disability or ethnic origin). Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR are requested from applicants in the context of the application procedure, their processing is additionally carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR (for example health data, if necessary for the profession).
Applicants can send us their applications via e-mail. However, please note that e-mails are generally not sent in encrypted form and that applicants themselves must provide encryption. We can therefore take no responsibility for the transmission of the application between the sender and the reception on our server and recommend in case of doubt, to use the postal delivery. Because instead of applying via e-mail, applicants have the opportunity to send us their application by post.
With the following information we inform you about the contents of our newsletter, the registration, sending and statistical evaluation process as well as your right of objection. By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to the receipt and the procedures described.
Content of the newsletters: We send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications with advertising information (hereinafter “newsletter”) only with the consent of the recipient or a legal permission. Insofar as the contents of a newsletter are concretely described, they are authoritative for the consent of the users. Incidentally, our newsletter contains information about our products, services and us.
Double-Opt-In and logging: Registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double-opt-in procedure. This means that you will receive an e-mail after signing up, requesting confirmation of your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with a foreign e-mail address. The registration for the newsletter will be logged in order to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the sign up- and the confirmation time, as well as the IP address. Likewise, changes to your data stored with the sending service provider will be logged.
Resgistration information: To subscribe to the newsletter, it is sufficient to enter your e-mail address. Optionally, we ask you to give a name in the newsletter for personal address.
The dispatch of the newsletter and the related performance measurement is based on the consent of the recipient according to Art. 6 (1) lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR in connection with § 7 Abs. 2 Nr. 3 UWG or on the basis of the legal permission according to Art. § 7 Abs. 3 UWG.
Loggin the sign-up process is based on our legitimate interests acc. Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our interest lies in the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system, which serves both our business interests and the expectations of the user and also allows us to prove the consent.
Termination / revocation: You can terminate the receipt of our newsletter at any time and revoke your consent. A link to cancel the newsletter can be found at the end of each newsletter. We may save the submitted email addresses for up to three years based on our legitimate interests before we delete them to provide prior consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defense against claims. An individual request for cancellation is possible at any time, provided that at the same time the former existence of a consent is confirmed.
The mailing service provider can use the data of the recipients in a pseudonymous form, i.e. without assignment to a user, to optimize or improve their own services. These include, for example the technical optimization of sending and the presentation of newsletters or statistical purposes. However, the mailing service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to address them themselves or to pass the data on to third parties.
The newsletters contain a so-called “web-beacon”, a pixel-sized file which is retrieved from the server of our mailing service provider when the newsletter is opened. This call will initially collect technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval.
This information is used to improve the technical performance of services based on their specifications or audience and their reading habits, based on their locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times. Statistical surveys also include determining if the newsletters will be opened, when they will be opened and which links will be clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our goal nor, if used, that of the mailing service provider to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.
We maintain online presence within social networks and platforms in order to communicate with the customers, prospects and users active there and to inform them about our services there. When calling the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and the data processing guidelines apply to their respective operators.
Based on our legitimate interests (ie interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. GDPR), we make use of content or services offered by third-party providers in order to provide their content and services, such as videos, photos or fonts (collectively referred to as “content”).
This always presupposes that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the users, since they could not send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We endeavor to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. Third parties may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also referred to as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. The web beacons can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may include, but is not limited to, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring web pages, visit time, and other information regarding the use of our online service.
Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f. GDPR) we use social plugins (“plugins”) of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). The plugins can represent interaction elements or content (eg videos, graphics or text contributions) and can be recognized by one of the Facebook logos (white “f” on blue tile, the terms “Like” or a “thumbs up” sign ) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. The list and appearance of Facebook social plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC).
When a user invokes a feature of our online service that includes such a plugin, their device establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to the device of the user and incorporated into the online service. In the process, user profiles can be created from the processed data. We therefore have no influence on the amount of data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore informs the users according to our knowledge.
By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of our online service. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, for example, press the Like button or leave a comment, the information is transmitted from your device directly to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will find out and save their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymous IP address is stored in Germany.
If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about him via our online service and link it to his member data stored on Facebook, he must log out of Facebook and delete his cookies before using our online service. Other settings and contradictions regarding the use of data for promotional purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or the US-site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ oder the EU-website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. The settings are platform independent, i. they are adopted for all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.
