Thank you for your interest in our company. The protection of your personal data is important to us. In the following you will find information on the handling of your data that is collected through the use of our website. Your data will be processed in accordance with the legal data protection regulations. Insofar as links are provided to other websites, we have neither influence nor control over the linked contents and the data protection regulations there. We recommend checking the data protection declarations on the linked websites to determine whether and to what extent personal data is collected, processed, used or made available to third parties.
According to Art. 4 para. 1 GDPR, “personal data” refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter also “data subject”). Identifiable is a natural person who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by assignment to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more special features that express the physical, psychological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
According to Art. 4 para. 2 GDPR, “processing” means any operation or series of operations carried out with or without the aid of an automated procedure in connection with personal data, such as the collection, collection, organisation, sorting, storage, adaptation or modification, reading, querying, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, reconciliation or linking, restriction, deletion or destruction.
According to Art. 4 para. 3 GDPR, “restriction of processing” is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.
According to Art. 4 para. 4 GDPR, “profiling” is any automated processing of personal data consisting in the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to the work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, whereabouts or relocation of that natural person.
According to Art. 4 para. 5 GDPR, “pseudonymisation” is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be assigned to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is stored separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures that ensure that the personal data are not assigned to an identifiable or identifiable natural person.
Pursuant to Art. 4 para. 7 GDPR, the “data controller” is the natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that alone or together with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are laid down by Union law or by the law of the Member States, the person responsible or the specific criteria for his appointment may be laid down in accordance with Union law or the law of the Member States.
According to Art. 4 para. 8 GDPR, “processor” is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the data controller.
According to Art. 4 para. 9 GDPR, the “recipient” is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body to which personal data is disclosed, irrespective of whether or not it is a third party. However, authorities which may receive personal data under Union law or the law of the Member States within the framework of a particular investigation mandate shall not be regarded as recipients. The processing of these data by the said authorities shall be carried out in accordance with the applicable data protection rules and in accordance with the purposes of the processing.
According to Art. 4 para. 10 GDPR, a “third party” is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body, except the data subject, the data processor, the data processor and the persons authorised to process personal data under the direct responsibility of the data processor or the data processor.
According to Art. 4 para. 11 GDPR, “consent” means any voluntary declaration of intent made by the data subject in an informed and unequivocal manner in the form of a declaration or other clear affirmative act with which the data subject indicates his or her consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.
If our company obtains the consent of the data subjects for the processing of personal data, for example when using the contact form or registering for the newsletter, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data necessary for the fulfilment of the contract and of which the data subject is a contracting party is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. This is the case, for example, in processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the rendering of another service or consideration. This also applies to such processing processes that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of enquiries about our services.
If the processing of personal data is required as a result of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another person require the processing of personal data, as would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were so violated that a transfer of his personal data to a doctor, hospital or other third party must be passed on, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing of personal data is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental freedoms and rights of the data subject do not outweigh the interest first mentioned here, Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. Our legitimate interest is to carry out our business activities for the benefit of our employees.
The purpose of data processing is to ensure the proper implementation of contractual agreements between the data subject, who is a contracting party, and us in order to ensure a smooth business relationship. Furthermore, there is a processing purpose in the placement of candidates according to the recruiting and personnel placement activities of our company. In accordance with legal regulations, personal data will be blocked or deleted as soon as the storage purpose ceases to apply or as soon as a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation Giver or another competent legislator expires. Of course, data subjects whose personal data we process have various rights with regard to their data at all times, as well as the right to have them deleted. For further information, please refer to point “XIII Rights of Data Subjects” of this data protection declaration.
