Every time a user accesses a page of our website and every time a file stored on the website is called up, access data about this process is stored in a log file. Each data record consists of:
(5) the access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.),
The client IP address is used for the purpose of transmitting the requested data; it will be made anonymous by deleting the last digit block (Ipv4) or the last octet (Ipv6) once the technical requirement no longer applies.
The data is stored each time a user accesses a page of our website and each time our website is accessed and is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose of collection, which is the case when the visitor leaves our website.
The temporary storage of the aforementioned data is carried out on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 letter f of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The legitimate interest lies in the provision of our website.

Within the context of data protection for job processing according to Art. 28 of the GDPR, we use an applicant management system by Haufe-umantis AG, Unterstrasse 11, 9001 St. Gallen, Switzerland for the application process. It is possible that Haufe-umantis AG may gain information about your personal data as it operates and maintains the software systems. This is why we have taken suitable legal, technical, and organizational measures with Haufe-umantis AG to ensure that data processing takes place in a reliable manner.
Your data will be processed within the European Union and not transferred to a third country or international organization.
If we believe that you are a suitable candidate for one of our foreign subsidiaries due to our international focus, we may forward your application to them. We will consult with you and request special permission from you in order to do so.
7. Duration of retention
If your application was successful and leads to an employment relationship with us or one of our affiliated companies, we will include your application materials, provided that it is necessary based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, 26(1) of the GDPR, to implement the employment relationship in our human resource administration system.

You can retrieve, edit, refresh, or delete the information you saved in the career portal at any time. You can remove your personal data and documents at any time using the "Delete my profile" button. Please note that, if you do this, you will be withdrawn from all active and incomplete application processes – even from processes that have been confirmed. If you decide to delete your applicant profile, the career portal will anonymize all of your personal data and remove it from your profile and applications.
We take technical, contractual, and organizational measures to secure data processing according to the state of the art. We thus ensure that the data we process is secure against destruction, loss, modification, and unauthorized access in compliance with GDPR provisions. Encrypted transmission of data between your browser and our servers is part of these security measures. Please note that SSL encryption is only active for transmission of data over the Internet if the lock symbol is displayed in the lower navigation bar of your browser window and the address begins with https://. SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protects data from illegal access by third parties during transmission using an encryption technology. If this option is unavailable, you can also decide to not transmit certain data via the Internet. All information that you transmit to us will be processed on our servers in the European Union.
11. File attachments
Please ensure that you do not send us file attachments with viruses or worms. Please also ensure that you do not send us information or file attachments that contain personal data within certain categories that include information about your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, union memberships, health information or information about your sexual activity or sexual orientation. The information that you send us must reflect the truth and may not violate copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights, press law, the general rights of third parties, or ethical principles ("illegal content"). Please note that you shall hold us harmless against any damages you cause by sharing file attachments with illegal content.
If we process your personal data, you are an affected party in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and have the following rights: Right of access (Article 15 GDPR), right to rectification (Article 16 GDPR), right to erasure (Article 17 GDPR), right to restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR), Right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR) and the right to object to processing (Article 21 GDPR).

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 of the GDPR) if you are of the opinion that your data is not being processed according to law. An overview of German supervisory authorities can be found at https://www.datenschutzkonferenz-online.de/datenschutzaufsichtsbehoerden.html.
13. Changes to the Data Protection Statement
We reserve the right to modify this Data Protection Statement to make adjustments for changing legal situations or if services or data processing methods change. However, this only applies to statements about data protection. If user consent is required, the changes will only be made if the user consents.
Please regularly check the content in the Data Protection Statement.
Data Protection Statement last updated: July 16, 2019
At the time of placing an order, Optima collects name, address(es), bank details, e-mail address, telephone or fax number, client IP address. This information is collected, stored and processed solely for the purpose of establishing or executing the contract, which includes in particular the billing and processing of the contract.
Personal data will only be passed on to third parties if this is necessary for the purpose of the execution of the contract, e.g. when commissioning a mail order company or a payment service provider.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed in any other way. Under German law, this period is five years for personal data subject to § 147 AO and ten years for personal data subject to § 257 HGB. The periods begin at the end of the calendar year in which the data was collected.
The storage of the data described above is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b and lit. c of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Since there are legally standardised retention periods here and the data must remain stored and processed for contract execution, an objection or deletion is not possible.
You can register to receive information according to the subjects you are interested in. When you fill out an online form, the information you enter during the registration process is sent to us. This information may include your e-mail address, last name, first name, IP address, and your choice of subject(s). Details of the campaign are also noted. We record the IP address and the time and date when you activate the Double-Opt-In link because this is required in order to be able to send the information by e-mail.
Once we have received your permission, the Inxmail emarketing system processes data using the so-called unique count procedure:
the date and time when images contained in the mailing are retrieved
the type of device and software used to display the email when images are retrieved
the date, time and type of links clicked on in the mailing.
This data is recorded and stored for each person who receives the eMailing. This method enables us to identify who is interested in which subjects and ensure the relevance of future mailings for our readers according to their interests. If you object to this procedure, personalised data will be made anonymous.
Data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose they were collected for and the person has unsubscribed from the mailing list. In accordance with this, the statute of limitations requires us to store information for ten years after dispatch of the last eMail, for the purpose of proof in the event of queries regarding eMailing consents.
Your data (as described above) will only be stored on the legal basis of “prior consent”. (GDPR Article. 6 para. 1[a] ). The possibility of a ‘withdrawal of consent at any time’ does not affect the legality of the ‘processing of personal data based on consent’ prior to withdrawal.
You can withdraw your permission to receive information by e-mail at any time with effect for the future by unsubscribing from the mailing list(s). You can also object to the individual evaluation of your e-mails according to the ‘unique count procedure’ described above. You can do this by sending us an eMail, or by clicking on the appropriate link in the Footer of each eMailing .
Email, fax or telephone contact
You can contact us by e-mail, fax or telephone. We store the data transmitted to us and provided by you, to process your request or enquiry. These data include: name, address, e-mail address, telephone and/or fax number, date and time of the inquiry and the description of the request, if necessary contract data, if the inquiry takes place in the context of a contract admission or - completion. The data will not be passed on to third parties. The data are used to process your contact request.
As soon as the data is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose, it is deleted, which is the case when the conversation has been completed and the facts have been clarified and there are no contractual or tax retention periods to the contrary. This period is five years for personal data subject to § 147 AO and ten years for personal data subject to § 257 HGB. The periods begin at the end of the calendar year in which the data was collected.
The data described above will only be stored on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU Basic Regulation on Data Protection (DSGVO) with prior consent in connection with the request, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU Basic Regulation on Data Protection (DSGVO) in connection with the initiation or fulfilment of a contract or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU Basic Regulation on Data Protection (DSGVO). Processing the contact request and preventing misuse of the contact request is within Optima’s legitimate interests. A withdrawal of consent at any time does not affect the legality of the processing of personal data based on the consent prior to the withdrawal.
You may at any time withdraw your consent to data processing and to object to the storage of your data. The data stored for the operation is then deleted. If a contract has been concluded, the clause II.2. above applies.
The client IP address is collected for use of the Google Analytics service. This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. "("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files which are stored on your end device to enable an analysis of the use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymisation on this website, Google will reduce the IP address of the person concerned within Member States of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and be shortened there. Google will use this information on our behalf, to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities and to provide us with further services associated with the use of the website and the Internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
As soon as the data are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose, they will be deleted, which is the case when the anonymisation within the European Union has been completed. This takes less than a second.
The storage of the data as described above is based on Art. 6 para. 1 letter f of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The legitimate interest lies in the fact that we are able to analyse the use of the website by all users in its entirety without drawing conclusions about the behaviour of identifiable persons; this enables us to optimise our website and our offers.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by changing the settings of your browser software; however, we must point out that if you do this, not all functions of this website may be fully functional. In addition, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and relating to the use of the website (including the IP address) from Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
We use the analysis service Matomo. Matomo uses cookies - small files that are placed in the browser of your device - to send information to our server, which can be used to evaluate the interests of visitors and to generate statistics about traffic on the website. Matomo only records IP addresses completely for a short time, shortens them by the last number block (IPv4) or the last octet (IPv6) before they are processed further, so that data subjects remain anonymous.
a) Duration of storage
As soon as the data are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose, they are deleted, which is the case when anonymisation has taken place. For technical reasons, this process takes less than one second.
The storage of data described above is based on Art. 6 para. 1f of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and § 15 para. 3 TMG (German law: Tele-Medien Gesetz). It is a legitimate interest of Optima to analyse the surfing behaviour of non-identifiable users; this enables us to optimise our website and our offers.
c) Possibility of objection and deletion
Your website browser can provide you with instructions on how to block the use of cookies.
You also have the following possibility to opt-out of analysis by Matomo.
If you choose to opt-out, Matomo will install a cookie in your browser that prohibits Matomo from tracking your usage behaviour. Data will then neither be used nor stored. If you opt-out of tracking, this is recorded using a cookie: if all cookies are deleted, this may include the ‘opt-out cookie’ as well, so it may be necessary to repeat the process of setting the ‘opt-out cookie’. If the use of cookies is blocked in the user's browser, Matomo will not collect any data.
Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest buttons / or Google+, Facebook, Twitter
We do not collect any personal data through buttons on social networks. For the sake of completeness, however, we will explain the technical background. We only use deactivated buttons of the social networks of Facebook, Linkedin, Xing and Youtube. This means that no data is transmitted to these networks. By clicking on the buttons, you choose to activate them and thus establish a connection to the servers of these social networks and thus to transmit data to them: the terms of this transfer are covered by the agreement between you and the social network concerned. Activating the button leads to access to social network content. The type, purpose and scope of data collection and its use can be found in the data protection statements of the corresponding social networks.
After a second click on the button the visitor can send their recommendation to the social networks. If you would like to recommend several pages, then consent is required on each page. If you want the social network to have permanent access to your data, you can permanently activate the buttons. For this purpose, the appropriate check mark can be placed under a gear icon with the result that the selected button is always directly active.
The duration of the storage depends on the specifications of the social networks.
The operators of the social networks can inform you about the legal basis.
You can also change your consent to the social network and deactivate the buttons via the gear icon which you used to activate the social media buttons.

(i) where personal data are transferred to a third country or an international organisation, the data subject shall have the right to be informed of the appropriate guarantees in accordance with Article 46 of the Basic Regulation on Data Protection (DSGVO) in connection with the transfer.
We will provide you with a copy of the personal data that is the subject of the processing. For all other copies that you request, Optima may charge an appropriate fee based on the administrative costs.
The right to correction in accordance with Article 16 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
You have the right to ask us to rectify any inaccurate personal data without delay. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary declaration.
The right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) in accordance with Art.17 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

The rights and freedoms of other persons must not be affected by this.
When exercising the right to data transferability pursuant to paragraph 1, you have the right to request that the personal data be transferred directly by us to another data controller, insofar as this is technically feasible.
The exercise of the right to data transferability does not affect your right to deletion (as described in Art. 17 of GDPR). The right to transferability shall not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest; or in the exercise of public authority conferred on the controller.
Right to object in accordance with Art. 21 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1) (e) or (f) of GDPR for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

Where your personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purposes of such advertising, including profiling in so far as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for this purpose.
You may withdraw your consent at any time. However, the collection and processing that has taken place up to this point remains legal.

You shall not be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing - including profiling - which has legal effect against you or significantly impacts you in a negative manner.

In the above-mentioned examples of your rights, we take appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on our side, to state his own position and to challenge the decision.
