Additional information can be provided voluntarily.

The personal data we collect to process your queries will be erased once your query has been resolved, provided that the purpose of processing has thereby been concluded and there are no statutory retention periods that require us to store the correspondence.

Blohm+Voss B.V. & Co. KG collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purposes of handling the application process. This processing may also be carried out by electronic means.

If an employment contract is not concluded with the applicant, the application documents will be erased 6 months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that there are no other legitimate interests militating against such erasure.

Cookies do not cause any damage to your end-device and do not contain any viruses, trojan horses or other malware.
Information that is generated in connection with the specific end-device being used in each case is stored in the cookie. However, this does not mean that we will immediately acquire knowledge of your identify.
The use of cookies enables us, firstly, to make it easier for you to use our offering. We therefore use “session cookies” to detect that you have already visited individual pages on our website. These will be deleted automatically when you leave our website.
In addition, we also use temporary cookies, which are stored on your end-device for a specific, fixed period of time, in order to optimise user-friendliness.

Most browsers will accept cookies automatically. However, you can adjust your browser settings so that no cookies can be stored on your computer, or so that a notification will always be displayed before a new cookies is placed on your device.

e) Analysis tools
I) Tracking tools
We use the following tracking tools on the basis of point (f) of Article 6(1) sentence 1 GDPR. We use the tracking tools to ensure that our website is user friendly and to optimise it continuously. We also use the tracking tools to collect statistics relating to how our website is used and evaluate them for the purpose of optimising the website. These interests are considered legitimate in the sense of the General Data Protection Regulation.
The purposes and data categories are described for each tracking tool.
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (https://www.google.com/?hl=about) (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; ‘Google’), to ensure that our website is user friendly and to optimise it continuously. Pseudonymised usage profiles are generated and cookies are used (see section on cookies) in this context. The information generated by the cookie concerning your use of this website, such as
the host name of your computer (IP address),
is sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate how you use the website, compile reports on website activity and provide other services relating to website activity and Internet usage for the purposes of market research and ensuring that this website is user friendly. Additionally, this information can be transmitted to third parties where prescribed by law or if the third parties process data as processors. Under no circumstances will your IP address be associated with other data held by Google. Your IP address will be anonymised so that it cannot be associated with any other data (this is known as IP masking).
You may prevent the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser, yet please note that if you do so you might not be able to make full use of all of the features of this website.
Additionally, you can prevent Google from collecting or processing the data generated by the cookie concerning your use of our website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=us).
Instead of the browser add-on, you can prevent the collection of data by Google Analytics by clicking on this link, especially if your browser is on a mobile device. An opt-out cookie that prevents the collection of your data when you visit this website in future will be installed. The opt-out cookie only applies to this browser and our website and will be stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you will have to download the opt-out cookie again.
You can find more information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics in the Google Analytics support section (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=us).
III) Google Ads conversion tracking
We also use Google conversion tracking to collect statistics relating to how our website is used and to evaluate them for the purpose of optimising the website. Google Ads sets a cookie (see section on cookies) on your computer if you visit our website by clicking on a Google advertisement.
These cookies expire after 30 days and cannot be used to identify you personally. If a user visits certain pages on the website of an Ads customer and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can see that the user has clicked on the advert and was referred to this page.
Every Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across the websites of Ads customers. The information collected by the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have activated conversion tracking. The Google Ads customers learn the total number of users who have clicked on their advertisement and been redirected to a page with an embedded conversion tracking tag. However, they do not gain access to any information that can be used to identify users personally.
If you do not want to participate in the tracking process, you can prevent the storage of the cookies required by the process, for instance by changing the settings in your browser to deactivate the automatic storage of cookies. You can also deactivate conversion tracking cookies by changing the settings in your browser to block cookies from the domain ‘www.googleadservices.com’. Google’s privacy policy for conversion tracking is available at (https://services.google.com/sitestats/en.html).
We use the open-source software Matomo to analyse and statistically evaluate how our website is used. Cookies are used for this purpose (see section on cookies). The information generated by the cookie relating to how you use the website is sent to our servers and compiled into pseudonymised usage profiles. The information is used to evaluate how you use the website and ensure that our website is user friendly. The information is not shared with third parties.
Under no circumstances will your IP address be associated with other data concerning you. Your IP address will be anonymised so that it cannot be associated with any other data (this is known as IP masking).
