In this Data Privacy Statement, we notify you about the type, scope and purposes of the col-lection, processing and use of your personal data when visiting or using our Websites. This is performed in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), the German Telemedia Act (TMG) and other applicable data-protection regulations (referred to jointly below as “Applica-ble Data Protection Law”).
Personal data refers to information that can be used to identify a person, i.e. details that can be traced back to a person. This includes for example the person’s name, e-mail address or telephone number. Personal data is only collected, processed and used by GLOBALG.A.P. if the user has consented to the data collection or in the event of another permitted circum-stance under Applicable Data Protection Law.
GLOBALG.A.P. (or the webspace provider commissioned by GLOBALG.A.P.) collects data about every access to the Websites (known as server log files). The access data includes: name of the webpage or webservice accessed, file, date and time of the access, data volume transferred, any data input, report of successful access, browser type including version, us-er’s operating system, referrer URL (the page visited previously), IP address, where relevant user name and the requesting provider. GLOBALG.A.P. uses the log data solely for statistical analyses and the purpose of operating, securing and optimizing the Websites. This data is not merged with other data sources or other personal data about you. The system needs to store the IP addresses temporarily to enable the Websites to be delivered to you. The IP address is stored for the duration of the session for this purpose. Data is saved in server log files to safeguard the functionality of the Websites. The data also helps GLOBALG.A.P. to optimize the Websites and safeguard the security of the IT systems. GLOBALG.A.P. further reserves the right to review the log data retrospectively if there are specific indications that justify a suspicion of unlawful use. These purposes represent a legitimate interest of GLOBALG.A.P. in data processing. The legal basis here is Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR.
You may register on our Websites for a variety of purposes. The legal basis for the pro-cessing is Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR in each case.
During registration we collect data about you that we need for the specific registration (“Regis-tration Data”). This generally includes information about your title and position, first name and surname, e-mail address, country and if necessary further information about your company and your address and telephone number. The specific data is set out in further detail in the registration form in each case.
Registration is performed in order to sign up for specific events or training cours-es/workshops, to become a member of GLOBALG.A.P., to receive information mail-outs/newsletters, to receive information material (e.g. brochures or posters) or to access the restricted area of our certification database (database.globalgap.org). The latter is only possi-ble for certain users (“Market Participants”).
We endeavor to ensure maximum transparency in terms of which data is accessible to whom. You will find detailed documentation for the Website database.globalgap.org at http://www.globalgap.org/de/documents (data access rules). On registration, in addition to the Registration Data, we store the IP address of our users. This falls within our legitimate interests relating to logging purposes and the prevention of abuse (Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR).
You may submit your objection either directly via the Website in question or by contacting us at dataprivacy@globalgap.org.
You can object to the further processing, storage and use of your Registration Data at any time. However, this may result in a complete deregistration.
If you leave comments on the blog or make other posts, your IP address will be stored. This is done to protect GLOBALG.A.P. in the event that a user includes unlawful content in com-ments and posts (insults, forbidden political propaganda, etc.). In this case GLOBALG.A.P. may itself face legal action for the comment or post and thus has an interest in the identity of the author for purposes of defending the claim or asserting recourse claims or may even be obliged to disclose such information to third parties, courts or public authorities. GLOB-ALG.A.P. again has a legitimate interest in such purposes, with the legal basis being Art. 6 (1) c) and f) GDPR.
We use our e-mail information mail-outs to large mailing lists, in particular our newsletters on a range of subjects, to inform our consenting users about us, our Websites, our standards, invi-tations to certain events, workshops or summits/tours and other activities, as well as news about us or our Websites (“Information Mail-Outs”). If you want to receive Information Mail-Outs, we need you to provide a valid e-mail address and we can perform a process to verify that you are indeed the holder of the specified e-mail address, or that the holder consents to the receipt of the Information Mail-Outs. To do so, we use the “double opt-in procedure”. This involves us sending an e-mail to the specified e-mail address with the request to re-confirm the registration to receive the Information Mail-Outs (e.g. by clicking a link). Additionally, on request you can indicate the specific topics we may inform you about. No further data is col-lected. This data is only used for sending Information Mail-Outs and is not passed to third par-ties. The legal basis for the data processing is the user’s consent (Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR, section 7 (2) German Act on Unfair Competition (UWG)).
You may revoke your consent to the saving of the data, the e-mail address and its use for the sending of Information Mail-Outs at any time with future effect. The revocation may be per-formed via a link in the Information Mail-Outs themselves or a notification to us, as described in further detail in the section “Rights of data subjects”.
On registration we enable any fees payable (e.g. for events) to be paid online, depending on the specific offering. Similarly, all invoices from GLOBALG.A.P. can be paid online using a credit card. The data required to initiate the online payment is strictly separated from the reg-istration data. If you opt for online payment, the data you input including the intended use and the sum to be transferred for the online payment is not saved directly by us, but forwarded straight to BS Payone GmbH for payment verification and initiation of the payment process. BS Payone only transfers minimal information about the payment procedures to us (e.g. allo-cation to invoice number and status of the payment transaction). BS Payone GmbH is there-fore responsible for processing and storing personal data in connection with an online pay-ment. This serves the purpose of performing a contract between you and us and thus falls within the legitimate interests of us both (Art. 6 (1) b) and f) GDPR). The data protection pro-visions of BS Payone GmbH can be accessed here.
If you submit an application to us or to the company in the USA, the respective company will process the information and documents submitted along with the personal data included therein, such as name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, information about profes-sional development/resumé, references or other information that you communicate to that company in the course of your application (section 26 (1) BDSG). Prior to appointment, this consists of the verification of personal data (name, date of birth, place of birth, nationality) of the applicants short-listed following the application process against entries on blacklists, such as in particular the EU terrorist list pursuant to the EU anti-terror regulations. The purpose of this is first to enter into a contract of employment with these applicants and second the com-pliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject (Article 6 (1) c) GDPR), because statu-tory provisions prohibit financial benefits, including the payment of a salary, being paid to per-sons who are included on such blacklists.
If we forward your application to the company in the USA, we do so in accordance with Art. 49 (1) 1b) GDPR at your request to enter into/initiate an employment contract with the subsidiary. The submission of application documents including personal data is necessary for the per-formance of the application process.
We will only disclose your personal data to third parties if you have provided your consent or in the event of another permitted circumstance in accordance with the Applicable Data Protec-tion Law. These include in the first instance service providers commissioned by us who sup-port our business operations (Art. 28 GDPR). This covers e.g. webspace providers for the operation of our Websites or the forwarding of invoicing or tax-relevant information to service providers for the purposes of invoicing and accounting or controlling. In these cases, howev-er, the scope of the transmitted data will extend only to the minimum required to achieve the purposes pursued via the data processing.
If we are legally obliged to disclose specific personal data on the basis of a judicial decision or following a request for information from law-enforcement or supervisory authorities or author-ized third parties in conjunction with investigatory proceedings or the suspicion of a criminal act, an unlawful act or other acts that may give rise to legal liability for you or us, we will dis-close the data required for the investigation, such as name, address, e-mail address or other relevant information (Art. 6 (1) c) GDPR). Similarly, we reserve the right to process and use users’ personal data to enforce or defend against claims.
Personal data may be passed in this way to third parties that are domiciled in non-EEA or non-EU countries and where the EU Commission has not established a level of data protection comparable to the EU (e.g. USA). In this case, prior to forwarding we ensure either that an adequate level of data protection is in place at the recipient, in particular by obtaining your consent in advance or through specific guarantees (Art. 44 et seq. GDPR) as well as in par-ticular self-certification of a recipient domiciled in the US in accordance with the principles of EU-US Privacy Shield or agreement with the recipient in the third country to what are termed the EU standard contractual clauses. A copy of suitable guarantees can be obtained on re-quest via the e-mail address set out at the end of this Data Privacy Statement datapriva-cy@globaglap.org. Basic information about the participants of the EU-US Privacy Shield can further be found under www.privacyshield.gov/list; information about the EU standard contrac-tual clauses can be found here, and information about the adequacy decisions here.
Third-party content, such as YouTube videos, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites, may be integrated into these online offerings. This usually assumes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “Third-Party Providers”) will be aware of the users’ IP ad-dress. This is because they would not be able to transmit the content to the browser of the user in question without the IP address. The IP address is therefore necessary in order to display this content. We endeavor only to use such content where the respective provider solely uses the IP address to deliver the content. At the same time, we have no influence over whether the Third-Party Providers use the IP address e.g. for statistical purposes. Where we are aware of this, we will notify the users accordingly. The use of enhanced presentation op-tions for information purposes and to optimize your user experience is within our mutual legit-imate interest (Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR).
Our Websites use the web analysis service Piwik PRO from the provider Piwik PRO GmbH (“Piwik PRO”) for the statistical analysis of user access. Piwik PRO may use cookies, tags, IP addresses and what is known as fingerprinting to enable an analysis of users’ website use. This may include the collection or processing of the following data: IP address (anonymized), user ID, data and time of the request, title or URL of the page visited, URL of the page visited previously, screen resolution, time zone, files clicked on and downloaded, links clicked to ex-ternal websites, display speed of the pages, user’s geo-data (country, region, city, approxi-mate longitude and latitude), browser language, user agent of the browser used, randomly assigned one-off user ID, time of a user’s first visit, time of a user’s previous visit, number of a user’s visits.
This is done on the basis of our legitimate interest in the analysis of the user behavior and in optimizing our Websites (Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR). The information generated by the cookie about the use of these Websites is stored on the servers of Piwik PRO or service providers com-missioned by them in Europe. The IP address is anonymized immediately after processing and before saving. The information generated by Piwik PRO is not used to identify the user of these Websites personally and is not merged with other personal data of the user.
You can prevent the use of the tools from Piwik PRO by activating the opt-out function of Piwik PRO here: https://piwikpro.de/opt-out/. You can also prevent the installation of the cook-ies by making a corresponding setting in your browser software. However, GLOBALG.A.P. refers users to the fact that in this case they may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. For further information about this topic, see https://piwikpro.de/datenschutz/.
If you are registered with the respective social network and are logged in, you can communi-cate directly with the social network. To increase the protection of users’ personal data while visiting our website, the plugins are integrated into the website using the “two-click solution”. This guarantees that when our webpages containing such a Plugin are accessed, no connec-tion is made with the servers of the provider of the social network at first. Only when a user activates a Plugin does the user’s browser create a direct connection to the servers of the provider of the social network. The content of the respective Plugin is transmitted directly to the user’s browser and integrated into the page.
Through the integration of the Plugin, the provider of the social network is given the infor-mation that a user has accessed the page in question. If the user is logged on to the social network, the provider of the social network can allocate the visit to the user’s account on the social network. When users interact with the Plugins, for instance by clicking a share button or posting a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from the user’s browser directly to the social network and saved there. As the provider of this site we are not informed about the content of the data transferred or its use by the social network.
If a user is a member of a social network and does not want the network to collect data about him via these Websites and link it to the membership data saved on the social network, he needs to log out of the social network prior to visiting the website. Similarly, it is generally pos-sible to block Plugins using add-ons for your browser, for example using the “NoScript” script blocker (http://noscript.net/).
These Websites use Plugins of the social network facebook.com, operated by Facebook Ire-land Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland, a subsidiary of Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany. As the provider of this site we are not informed about the content of the data transferred or its use by Facebook. We are not told when the user clicked which button. For information about the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and configuration options to protect your privacy, refer to the Facebook privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
Users can also completely prevent the loading of the Facebook Plugins via browser add-ons using “Facebook Blocker”, e.g. for Mozilla Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/facebook-blocker/; for Opera: https://addons.opera.com/de/extensions/details/facebook-blocker/?display=en; for Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/facebookblocker/chlhacbfddknadmnmjmkdobipdpjakmc?hl=de
We also use Plugins of the provider Twitter. These are operated by Twitter Inc., 795 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA (hereinafter referred to as “Twit-ter”). For information about the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further pro-cessing and use of the data by Twitter, as well as your rights in this regard and configuration options to protect your privacy, refer to the Twitter privacy policy: https://twitter.com/privacy.
Plugins of the social network LinkedIn, LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“LinkedIn”) are also integrated into this website. For information about the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by LinkedIn, as well as your rights in this regard and configuration options to protect your pri-vacy, refer to the LinkedIn privacy policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.
Alongside our websites, we also maintain a dedicated presence on Facebook (“Company Page”) and our webpages may contain links to this Company Page. When you access the Company Page, Facebook processes personal data, which is even possible if you are not logged on to Facebook when the page is accessed. However, Facebook provides us with detailed statistics, which consist of summarized information relating to the use of our Compa-ny Page on Facebook. These statistics enable us to identify for example how often or by how many unique users the Company Page and individual posts on this page are accessed or e.g. rated. However, the statistics do not permit us to identify which specific persons have visited the Company Page or accessed or rated individual posts. As is generally the case with Face-book, however, the Company Page shows which Facebook user has rated or commented on a post.
Facebook provides further information about data processing by Facebook in its privacy policy: http://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php
- the right to request confirmation of whether personal data relating to you is being processed and details of this data and any additional information and a copy of the data (Art. 15 GDPR);
- the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data or the rectification of incorrect personal data (Art. 16 GDPR);
- under Art. 17 GDPR, the right to request that personal data be deleted immediately, or, if need be under Art. 18 GDPR, that the data processing be restricted (if this data is subject to statutory retention periods, we will block it for the duration of the reten-tion period);
- the right to receive, or have transmitted to a third party, the relevant personal data that you have provided to us and that we process in an automated manner on the basis of your consent or in the performance of a contract. The data will be provided in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to a dif-ferent controller, this will only be done if it is technically feasible (Art. 20 GDPR).
- the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data processed by us on the basis of a legitimate interest of ours (Art. 6 (1) f) DGSVO), pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR;
- the right to withdraw any consents granted pursuant to Art. 7 (3) GDPR with future effect. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing performed on the basis of such consent up to the revocation.
We will notify any recipients to whom we have disclosed your personal data about any correc-tion or erasure of the personal data or restriction of the processing, unless this turns out to be impossible or would involve disproportionate effort.
You can assert the above rights against us, e.g. by notifying us by post or e-mail to datapri-vacy@globalgap.org.
In consideration of the applicable provisions under data-protection law, we will delete the stored personal data about you without any action on your part if there is no longer a need for the information to be known to perform the purpose associated with the storage or if the stor-age of the data is not permitted for other legal reasons. In some cases provided for by law (e.g. statutory retention obligations), your data may be blocked instead of deleted.
In the case of job applications, application documents will be deleted or blocked in accordance with the following measures and any personal data provided in hard copy returned to the ap-plicant. If applicants have only applied for a specific advertised job, their application data will be stored until the final decision about the appointment to the post is made plus a maximum of six months from the notification of this decision. Accordingly, the data or documents provided by the applicants will be deleted in a manner compliant with data protection regulations. Only where an application results in an employment relationship being entered into or if a stat-utory provision permits further storage of this data by way of exception will this not apply; in this case, the application data will be processed to permit the employment relationship to be executed or stored for longer periods in accordance with the statutory stipulations and, if a statutory stipulation so permits, processed and used (section 26 (1) BDSG and/or Art. 6 (1) b) and f) GDPR). In this case, we will notify the applicant before the specific act of saving, processing or using their personal data in accordance with the applicable provisions of data-protection law, provided they are not already in possession of this information.
In the course of the ongoing development of our Websites, we will also continually modify our Data Privacy Statement. Any changes will be communicated on this page in good time. For that reason, our users should regularly view this page to notify themselves of the current sta-tus of the Data Privacy Statement.
In case of discrepancy between translations, the German version of the data privacy state-ment shall prevail.
