We look forward to your visit and your interest in our website www.zollern.com. The protection of your private data is a matter of course for us. We would therefore like to inform you below how we will process your personal data. The website www.zollern.com is an offer of ZOLLERN GmbH & Co. KG (hereinafter referred to as Zollern).
Personal data are such data, which make the determination of their person possible. It does not matter whether the determination can be made on the basis of a single piece of information. The more information and data can be brought together, the more precisely the person can be identified. Personal data includes in particular the name, address, age, email address and telephone number of a person.
Zollern collects, processes and stores your personal data only if this is permitted by law or if you have given your consent. We obtain this data in two ways: Either you have provided us with the data or we collect it when you use our services.
Evaluation of system safety and stability.
The legal basis for data processing is art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our justified interest follows from the purposes listed above for the collection of data. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.

The measures listed and used by us are carried out on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a, b, or f GDPR (due to legitimate interest of the provider - lit. f; contractual or quasi-contractual basis - lit. b; or due to your consent - lit. a).

We offer you extensive personal support. If you contact us via the contact form, we will therefore collect your salutation, your title and your email address in order to be able to answer your enquiry quickly and individually. If you would like us to contact you by telephone, please let us know your telephone number. The data will only be used to answer your enquiry, not for a sales pitch or otherwise for advertising purposes.
We also offer you extensive personal support via our pages in social media (Xing) on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 sentence1 lit. f GDPR and the opportunity to stay in touch with us. These social media services themselves collect personal data, e.g. via your profile created there or via so-called social plug-ins, which are implemented in third party websites.
By integrating the plug-ins, the respective companies receive the information that you have called up the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged into one of the companies listed above, they can assign the visit to your account there. When you interact with the plug-ins, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to the respective company and stored there.

It cannot therefore be ruled out that every visitor to our website may be recorded by the company listed above on the basis of the IP address and the URL accessed, even if the user does not click on the plug-ins and is not registered with the company with a user account.
Thank you for your interest in Zollern as an employer and for visiting our career portal https://www.zollern.com/en/company/career.html. The protection of your private data is a matter of course for us.

If no suitable position is available at the moment and you would like to receive further information about suitable positions, you can agree to your documents being stored longer (1 year). You can revoke this consent at any time and without stating reasons.
We do not pass on your data to third parties. If you have applied for a position within the Zollern Group, we will pass on your data to the company posting the job within the Zollern Group in order to carry out the application procedure.
You can register online as a new supplier at Zollern on our supplier portal. You can apply as a supplier for our range of requirements by filling out the online form.

As a registered supplier, you have the possibility, to maintain your supplier data (e.g. address, contact person) and documents (e.g. certificates), as well as to process enquiries from Zollern and to send quotations to Zollern.
The data will not be passed on to third parties. The supplier platform that we use is an online offer from our service provider, which processes your data on our behalf in accordance with the law and in a manner bound by contract.
As a service provider for our external presence, you have the opportunity to obtain access to our style guide via our marketing department. Here you will find all information about the corporate identity of Zollern.
Zollern concludes various contracts (e.g. contracts with suppliers, system partners, service companies, repair processing) in order to fulfil their economic purpose. The collection of data and its processing serves to establish, implement and terminate the contractual relationship. The primary legal basis for this is art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR. Where necessary, we also process your data on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR in order to protect the legitimate interests of Zollern or third parties (e.g. authorities). This applies in particular within the group for purposes of group management, internal communication and other administrative purposes. In addition, the processing of personal data may be based on your consent.
4.1 Which data categories does Zollern use?
The processed categories of personal data include in particular your contact data (name of the company, address, surname and last name of a contact person, (mobile) telephone number, email address of the responsible contact person), as well as, depending on the purpose, your bank details and, if applicable, your VAT ID number.
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that within the scope of the respective contractual relationship you must provide personal and company-related data which is necessary for the establishment, performance and termination of the contractual relationship or service promise and their respective fulfilment or which we are legally obliged to collect.
4.2 How long will your data be stored?
We will delete your personal data as soon as it is no longer required for the aforementioned purposes or you have exercised your right of objection. After termination of the contractual relationship, your personal data will be stored as long as we are legally obliged to do so. This regularly results from legal obligations to provide evidence and to retain records, which are regulated in the German Commercial Code and the German Tax Code . The storage periods are then up to ten years. In addition, personal information may be retained for the period during which claims may be made against us (statutory limitation period of three or up to thirty years).
Of course, you retain control over all personal data that you provide to us when visiting the website and using our services. You are entitled to the following rights, the claiming of which is free of charge for you.
You have the right to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time with effect for the future. In the event of revocation, we will delete the data concerned without delay, unless further processing can be supported by a legal basis for processing. The revocation of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revoked.
If we process your personal data within the scope of a weighing of interests on the basis of our predominantly legitimate interest, you have the right at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to this processing with effect for the future.
If you utilise your right of objection, we will stop processing the respective data. However, we reserve the right to further processing if we can prove compelling reasons for the processing worthy of protection which outweigh your interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms, or if the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If we process your personal data for the purpose of direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising.
You have the right to request a transfer of your personal data from us to another location.
You have the right to have your personal data corrected, deleted or its processing restricted.
You have the right to appeal to a supervisory authority or to our data protection officer if you have a reason for complaint. If you wish to exercise any rights against our company, please contact the persons listed at the end of this privacy statement.
The criterion for the duration of storing personal data is the respective legal retention period. After this period has expired, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted if they are no longer needed to achieve the required purposes.
