MAPAL Logo Logo MAPAL Dr. Kress KG United States, English PRODUCTS SECTORS AND SOLUTIONS MEDIA NEWS & PRESS CAREER COMPANY CONTACT MAPAL / Data Protection Data Protection Policy Thank you for visiting our website and for the interest you have shown in our company and our products. Protecting your privacy while processing your personal data and maintaining the security of all business data is an important issue to us that we take into account in all our business processes. The personal data that we collect from you during your visit to our website is processed confidentially and only in accordance with statutory provisions. Data protection and information security form part of our company policy. The websites accessible via the mapal.com domain are provided by MAPAL Dr. Kress KG (hereinafter referred to as MAPAL). MAPAL websites may contain links to websites of other providers which are not covered by this data protection policy. Personal data are those items of data that make it possible to identify you. Here the issue is not whether it is possible to identify you based on a single piece of information. The more information and data that can be combined, the more accurately the person can be identified. Personal data include, e.g., the name, address, age, e-mail address and telephone number of a person. 1. Collection, processing and storage of personal data by MAPAL MAPAL collects, processes and saves your personal data only if these actions are permitted by statutory regulations or you have given your consent. We obtain these data in two ways: either you provide the data to us or we collect the data during the utilisation of our services. The provision of personal data as part of this website is prescribed neither by law nor by contract, nor is it necessary in order to enter into an agreement. However, there are some services of this website or that we otherwise offer that you will not be able to use if you do not provide data. 1.1. Data you share with us Generally speaking, you can use our website without directly providing us with personal information. For some services, we will ask you to provide personal information that is needed for us to be able to provide the service, or so that we can carry out the respective service quickly and in a user-friendly manner. Detailed information on all of the services that are offered by MAPAL on this website can be found under “Individual services” (see below in section 3). 1.2. Data we obtain during your utilisation of our services Some data are produced automatically and for technical reasons when you visit our website. The following information is acquired without any action on your part and saved until it is deleted automatically: IP address, Web browser used, including language and browser software version Operating system and the respective interface Web page from which access is made (Referrer URL) Date and time of the access. The data stated are processed by us for the following purposes: To ensure the smooth establishment of a connection to the website, To ensure our website is pleasant to use, To evaluate the system security and system stability. To evaluate statistics The legal basis for the processing of the data is art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest stems from the purposes stated above for collecting the data. Under no circumstances do we use the data collected to identify you. We also use cookies when you visit our website. You will find more detailed explanations in point 2 of this data privacy statement. 1.3. Forwarding of data In general, we do not pass on personal data to third parties. If data is transferred to third parties in individual cases, then the transfer is carried out on the basis of appropriate agreements. In individual cases, it may be necessary for us to transfer information to recipients in so-called “third countries” for other purposes, such as the execution of contracts. “Third countries” are countries outside of the European Union or the Agreement on the European Economic Area, where it cannot necessarily be assumed that there is a level of data protection comparable to that within the European Union. If the information that is transferred includes personal data, prior to any such transfer, we will ensure that the third country or the recipient in the third country guarantees the necessary adequate level of data protection. This may in particular result from an “adequacy decision” granted by the European Commission, which determines that there is an adequate level of data protection for a specific third country as a whole. Alternatively, we can base the transfer of data on “EU standard contractual clauses” that have been agreed with a data recipient. Further information on appropriate and adequate safeguards necessary for ensuring a sufficient level of data protection is available upon request. Further information on EU standard contractual clauses can be found via https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_en and information on adequacy decisions via https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en. Through appropriate measures and regular controls, we ensure that the data we collect cannot be viewed or accessed by unauthorized persons from outside. 2. Usage of cookies 2.1.

Your data will then be deleted without delay. 3.5. Google Analytics We use Google Analytics on our website, which is a web analysis service from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). This function is only activated if you grant us your consent in accordance with Point a) of Art. 6(1) GDPR or Point a) of Art. 49(1). Google Analytics uses “cookies”.

It is only in exceptional cases that your full IP address will be transferred to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Google will use this information on our behalf in order to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports regarding website activities, and to provide us with further services that are related to website and internet usage. The IP address that your browser transmits within the framework of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. Any of your personal data that is collected in connection with Google Analytics will be deleted or anonymised after 14 months. It is possible to stop cookies being saved on your computer by adjusting your browser software accordingly; however, it is important to note that if you choose to do this, you may not be able to use all the functionalities of the website to their full extent. 3.6.

Google Tag Manager makes it possible to manage website tags via an interface. The tag manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookieless domain and does not contain any personal data. The tool makes it possible to trigger other tags, which may in turn record data. Google Tag Manager does not access these data. If deactivation takes place on domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager. This function is only activated if you grant us your consent in accordance with Point a) of Art. 6(1) GDPR or Point a) of Art. 49(1). 3.8. Careers portal Please do not send your application via e-mail; please use our encrypted career portal instead. When using our online recruitment portal, it is important to us that your personal data is protected to the greatest extent possible. All personal data that we collect and process as part of an application is protected against unauthorised access and manipulation through technical and organisational measures. The legal basis for data processing with regard to your application is Art. 88 GDPR in connection with Section 26(1) Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) as well as, where applicable, your consent to data processing. The data controller – in the event of an application for a specifically advertised position – is the company advertising, and their address details can be found in the advert in question. When applying for a specific position, your data will only be provided to other recruiters within the MAPAL corporate group if you consent to this when your data is recorded. If you do not provide the necessary personal data, you cannot participate in the application process. When you set up your general application profile on our platform, MAPAL Dr. Kress KG shall be the data controller in this respect. If you use an automatic CV reader from a third-party provider (such as XING or LinkedIn) and use it to transfer your details to the application management system, your personal data will also be collected, processed and used by third parties for the purpose of the application process. Before using automatic CV reading, separate consent to the processing of your personal data must be granted. When you submit an application, it is ensured that your data are automatically erased from our systems as soon as the purpose for which we collected your data has been fulfilled. Routines are put in place to ensure that data are erased after the purpose for collection or the underlying storage period has expired. The following erasure deadlines are planned for this purpose: Application data for a specific position will be erased six months after a negative decision. If you have created a general profile on our platform, we will erase it automatically after twelve months if you do not update your profile yourself. In addition to automatic erasure, you have the option to delete your profile yourself at any time. 3.9. Social media On our pages in social media (YouTube, Twitter, Xing, kununu, Facebook) we offer you, based on art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, comprehensive personal support and the possibility of remaining in contact with us. These media services collect, in certain circumstances, personal data, e.g. via the profile you have saved there. It cannot be excluded that data on every visitor to these pages will be collected by the companies listed above. For information on the purpose and scope of the collection of data and the further processing and utilisation of the data by these companies, as well as your related rights and the settings you can make to protect your privacy, please refer to the data privacy notices issued by: YouTube: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/de/privacy Xing: https://www.xing.com/privacy kununu: https://privacy.xing.com/de/datenschutzerklaerung 4.

The following rights are available to you; you can make use of these rights free of charge. 4.1. Right to access You have the right at any time to receive information, free of charge, about any of your personal data that we retain. This includes information regarding how long and for which purpose we process the data, where it comes from, and to which recipients or categories of recipients we transfer it. You can also obtain a copy of this data from us. 4.2. Right to revoke consent granted You have the right to revoke consent you have granted to process personal data at any time with effect for the future. If you revoke your consent, we will delete the related data without delay, provided further processing cannot be allowed on a legal basis for processing. The revocation of your consent does not affect the legality of processing undertaken up until revocation. 4.3. Right to object If we process your personal data in the context of a weighing of interests in our legitimate interest, you have at any time the right, for reasons based on your specific situation, to object to this processing with effect for the future. If you make use of your right to object, we will cease the processing of the related data. The right to continue processing is retained, however, if we can demonstrate compelling, legitimate reasons for the processing that outweigh your interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms, or if processing is for the purpose of the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. If we process your personal data for direct advertising, you have the right to appeal against the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising. 4.4. Right to data portability You have the right to request for your personal data to be transferred from us to another entity. Art. 20 GDPR sets out the relevant details and restrictions. The exercise of this right is without prejudice to your right of deletion. 4.5. Right to rectification, deletion or restriction of the processing You have the right to correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal data. 4.6. Right to lodge a complaint You have the right to complain to a supervisory authority or our company if you should have a reason for complaint.

Retention period Generally speaking, we retain personal data for as long as it is necessary for the purposes of processing, or we have a legitimate interest in such retention and your interests in not retaining the data do not outweigh our own. This means that we only retain your data for as long as this is necessary for the provision of our website and associated services, or for as long as we are legally obliged to retain your data. As soon as personal data is no longer required for the purposes of processing, or retention of this data is not legally permissible, we will delete any personal data without the data subject needing to intervene. Personal data that we are required to retain in order to fulfil our retention obligations will be retained until the end of the respective retention requirement. If we retain personal data exclusively for the fulfilment of retention requirements, any processing in this respect is generally restricted, so that the data can only be accessed if this should be necessary in relation to the legal obligation to retain data. 6. Automated decision making In connection with the processing of your personal data as described in this data protection policy, we do not, as a matter of principle, use automated decision making (including profiling) in terms of Art. 22 GDPR. If we make use of such procedures in individual cases, we will naturally inform you of this separately. 7. Data security We use the widespread SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. You can see whether an individual page from our website is transmitted encrypted by the closed depiction of the key or lock symbol in the status bar in your browser.

Our security measures are continuously improved in line with the state-of-the-art. 8.
