Data Privacy | WIRSOL
Data protection declaration for WIRCON Group website users
Thank you for your interest in our website. WIRCON Group company management places great value on ensuring that your personal data is well-protected when you visit our homepage. The following information provides an overview of how we process your personal data and what data protection-related rights you have. Personal data means any data which can be used to identify you, such as your name, address, email address or user behaviour.
Should a so-called “data subject” (an identifiable natural person) want to take advantage of specific services offered by our company via our Internet page, such as our contact form, then this may require the processing of their personal data. Should the processing of personal data be required and should there be no legal basis for such processing, then we will, as a matter of principle, obtain the data subject’s consent. Processing is always carried out in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations which apply for WIRCON Group.
As the “controller” of processing (natural or legal person who determines the purposes and means of processing), WIRCON Group has implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible of your personal data processed via this Internet page against loss, destruction, access, alteration or dissemination by unauthorized persons. These measures include the encrypted transmission of your personal data. When doing so, we use the TSL (Transport Layer Security) coding system.
Nevertheless, due to fundamental gaps in the security of Internet-based data transmission, it is not possible to ensure complete protection of data.
(2) Data processing controller
The controller as defined by Art. 4 Para. 7 EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and current country-specific data protection regulations is:
D-68753 Waghäusel/Germany

(3) General information regarding data processing
We only collect and use our users’ personal data insofar as this is required to provide a functioning website; to present our content and to carry out services.

Exceptions only apply in cases in which the obtaining of prior consent is not possible for factual reasons and processing of the data is permitted by law.
The following legal bases can apply to the processing of your personal data:
Processing based on your consent (Article 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR)
Processing which is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party. This also applies to processing procedures which are necessary to take steps prior to entering into a contract (Article 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR)
Processing which is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject (Article 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR)
Processing which is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person (Article 6 Para. 1 lit. d GDPR)
Processing which is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party except where such interests are overridden by the data subject’s interests or fundamental rights and freedoms (Article 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Legitimate interests may, in particular, be:
Correct presentation of our Internet site’s content;

Furthermore, you have a right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Article 77 GDPR in conjunction with Art. 19 BDSG).
(2) Objection or withdrawal of consent to processing of your data
Should you have given your consent to processing of your data, you can also withdraw it at any time. Withdrawing your consent will mean that we are then no longer allowed to process your personal data.
Insofar as processing of your personal data is based on balancing of interests, you can also object to their being processed. This is the case in particular if processing is not required to perform a contract with you, which is noted accordingly in the relevant description of the functions provided below. Should you decide to make use of your right to object, then we would appreciate your providing us with an explanation why we should no longer continue to process your personal data as we have done in the past. Should your objection be justified, then we will examine the facts of the matter and either stop or modify processing of your data or will notify you of the compelling reasons worthy of protection which allow us to continue processing it.
(3) Who will get my data?
Insofar as the detailed descriptions of our offerings do not state anything different, then our in-house departments which require access to your data in order to perform our contractual and legal obligations will be allowed to access it. We will only pass on information about you if we are required to do so by law (reporting obligations); you have consented and/or there is another legitimate legal basis for passing it on.
Should we make use of service providers to carry out individual functions within the scope of our offering, then they have been carefully selected and commissioned; must follow our instructions and are regularly inspected.
Should we wish to use your data for advertising purposes, then we will inform you below in detail regarding the corresponding procedures.

(1) Use of server logfiles
Whenever a data subject or automated system accesses the website, a range of general data and information will be collected in logfiles. These include an Internet protocol address (IP address); the browser type and version; the website from which a system accessing our website gained access (the so-called “referrer”); the sub-websites which were the accessing system’s destination; the date and time of accessing the website and any other similar data and information which serves to avert danger in the event of attacks on our IT systems.
The legal basis for temporary storage of data and logfiles is legitimate interests as defined by Art. 6 Para.1lit. f GDPR.
Temporary storage of the IP address by the system is required to ensure that the website is delivered to the user’s computer. To do so, the user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.
Logfile storage takes place to ensure the website’s functionality. In addition to this, the data helps us to optimize the website and ensure the security of our IT systems. The legal basis for this is, once again, legitimate interests as defined by Art. 6 Para.1 lit. f GDPR. The data is erased as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. Should data have been collected in order to provide the website, then this will be the case when the corresponding session ends. Collection of the data in order to provide the website and storage of the data in the logfiles is required to facilitate operation of the Internet page. In addition to this, the logfiles can also be checked if there are concrete indications that there is a legitimate suspicion of unlawful use or if a concrete attack on our website is carried out. Our legitimate interest in processing is, in the case, to facilitate the clarification and criminal prosecution of such attacks and unlawful use.
In addition to the above-mentioned data, when you use our website cookies will be stored on your computer.

In addition to purely information-based use of our website, we also offer a range of services which you can use if interested. To do so, you must generally provide more personal data, which we will use to perform the relevant service and which are subject to the above-mentioned fundamental data processing principles.
(1) Use of contact options
Our website offers a contact form which can be used to make electronic contact with us. When doing so, the data entered by the user is transmitted to and stored by us. This data includes your email address and message as mandatory fields; all other information is voluntary and goes beyond what is required.

The legal basis for data processing when using the contact form is thus Art. 6 Para.1 lit. a GDPR.
Alternatively, you can contact us using the email address provided. Should you choose to do so, then the personal data which you provide when sending the email will be stored by us. The data will be used solely to communicate with you and will not be forwarded to third parties. In accordance with Art.6 Para.1 lit. f GDPR, we have a legitimate interest for processing the data which is transmitted within the scope of sending an email.
Should the purpose of the contact be to conclude a contract, then, as defined by Art. 6 Para.1 lit. b GDPR, there is an additional legal basis for processing the data in order to perform the steps required to enter into a contract and, where applicable, to carry out subsequent processing in order to perform the contract.
Any personal data which we process within the scope of a general contact enquiry or email will only be stored until the relevant correspondence has ended. The conversation ends when evidence indicates that the relevant matter has been subsequently clarified.
Any consent which you give to processing of your personal data can be withdrawn at any time. Should you contact us by email, you can, of course, also object to storage of your personal data at any time. In such cases we will no longer be able to communicate with you.

We will process applicants’ data such as name, contact details, CV, nationality, work permit, etc. to facilitate the selection and/or employment procedure within the scope of the application process, with the aim of filling vacancies at our company.
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is the establishment, performance and termination of a contractual relationship as per Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b; the performance of a legal obligation as per Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c and your consent by voluntarily providing us with data which is not absolutely required for the purpose (e.g. information about hobbies on your CV).

To optimize our job application processes,
To ensure compliance with compliance regulations, industry standards and contractual obligations,
To assert, exercise or defend legal claims, and
To avoid damages to and/or liability of our company by means of corresponding measures.
Your data will be erased when the corresponding purpose has been carried out, however will, prior to this, be stored for as long as required to defend ourselves against any legal claims and/or any claims of discrimination. This period is generally 6 months. Particularly interesting candidates whom we cannot currently offer a position will be asked to consent to a longer storage period (generally one year). Insofar as accounting-relevant processing is carried out, such as reimbursement of travel expenses, then the relevant required data will be deleted after the corresponding legal storage period has expired – generally 6 or 10 years.
Should the job application be successful and we are able to welcome you to our company after signing a contractual agreement, then we will include the data provided to us within the scope of the application process in your personnel file.

Section 6 Use of social media plugins
We currently use the following social media plugins: Facebook, Twitter. When doing so, we use the so-called “two-click solution”. This means that as a matter of principle when you visit our site no personal data will initially be forwarded to the plugin provider. You can identify the plugin provider by the highlighting in the box above the first letter of the name or the logo. We give you the option of communicating directly with the plugin provider by using the button. The plugin provider will only receive the information that you have called up the corresponding website in our online offering if you click the highlighted field, thus activating it. In addition to this, the data listed in Section 3 of this declaration will be transmitted. In the case of Facebook, the operator states that in Germany the IP address will be anonymized immediately upon collection. By activating the plugin your personal data will thus be transmitted to the relevant plugin provider, where it will be stored (in the case of US American providers, in the USA). Since the plugin providers uses cookies in particular to gather the data, we recommend that you use your browser settings to delete all cookies before clicking the grey box.
We have no influence over what data is gathered or the data processing procedures and have no knowledge of the full extent of the data which is gathered; the purposes behind its processing or the storage times. Furthermore, we have no information regarding erasure of the data gathered by the plugin provider.
The plugin provider stores the data collected about you as a usage profile and uses this profile for advertising purposes, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) to present needs-based advertising and to inform other social network users about your activities on our website. You can object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the relevant plugin provider to do so. The plugins allow us to offer you the opportunity to interact with the social networks and other users, thus allowing us to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for plugin use is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Data forwarding takes places regardless of whether you have an account with the plugin provider and are logged on to it or not. When you are logged on with the plugin provider the data gathered on our website will be directly assigned to your account with the plugin provider. Should you click the activated button and, for example, link the site, then the plugin provider will also save this information in your user account and share it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you regularly log off after using a social network, in particular, however, before activating the button since this allows you to avoid identification of your profile with the plugin provider.
