3 General information on data processing

1. Scope of processing personal data

In general, we only process the personal data of our users to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website with our content and services. The regular processing of personal data only takes place with the consent of the user. Exceptions include cases where prior consent cannot be technically obtained and where the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. Legal basis for data processing

Where consent is appropriate for processing personal data, Art. 6 (1) (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis to obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of their data.

As for the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract of which the data subject is party, Art. 6 (1) (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual activities.

When it is necessary to process personal data in order to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing of data is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or that of a third party, and the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the interest of the former, Art. 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR will serve as the legal basis for the processing of data.

3. Data removal and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject will be erased or restricted as soon as the purpose of its storage has been accomplished. Additional storage may occur if this is provided for by the European or national legislator within the EU regulations, law, or other relevant regulations to which the data controller is subject. Restriction or erasure of the data also takes place when the storage period stipulated by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to prolong the storage of the data for the purpose of concluding or fulfilling the respective contract.

4. Rights of the data subject

When your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and have the following rights:

1. Right to information

You may request the data controller to confirm whether your personal data is processed by them.

If such processing occurs, you can request the following information from the data controller:

  1. The purpose for which the personal data is processed.
  2. The categories of personal data being processed.
  3. The recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed.
  4. The planned duration of the storage of your personal data or, if specific information is not available, criteria for determining the duration of storage.
  5. The existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning you or to object to such processing.
  6. The existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
  7. Where personal data are not collected from you any available information as to their source.
  8. The existence of automated decision-making including profiling under Article 22 (1) and Article 22 (4) GDPR and, in certain cases, meaningful information about the data processing system involved, and the scope and intended result of such processing on the data subject.

You have the right to request information on whether your personal data will be transmitted to a third country or an international organization. In this context, you can then request for the appropriate guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

2. Right to rectification

You have a right to rectification and/or modification of the data, if your processed personal data is incorrect or incomplete. The data controller must correct the data without delay

3. Right to the restriction of processing

You may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under the following conditions:

  • If you challenge the accuracy of your personal data for a period that enables the data controller to verify the accuracy of your personal data.
  • The processing is unlawful, and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and instead request the restriction of their use instead.
  • The data controller or its representative no longer need the personal data for the purpose of processing, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims; or
  • If you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and it is not yet certain whether the legitimate interests of the data controller override your interests.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, this data may – with the exception of data storage – only be used with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

If the processing has been restricted according to the aforementioned conditions, you will be informed by the data controller before the restriction is lifted.

4. Right to erasure

a) Obligation to erase

If you request from the data controller to delete your personal data without undue delay, they are required to do so immediately if one of the following applies:

  1. Personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed.
  2. You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (1) (a) and Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR and where there is no other legal basis for processing the data.
  3. According to Art. 21 (1) GDPR you object to the processing of the data and there are no longer overriding legitimate grounds for processing, or you object pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
  4. Your personal data has been processed unlawfully.
  5. The personal data must be deleted to comply with a legal obligation in Union law or Member State law to which the data controller is subject.

If the data controller has made your personal data public and must delete the data pursuant to Art. 17 (1) GDPR, they shall take appropriate measures, including technical means, to inform data processors who process the personal data, that a request has been made to delete all links to such personal data or copies or replications of the personal data, taking into account available technology and implementation costs to execute the process.

c) Exceptions

The right to deletion does not exist if the processing is necessary

  1. to exercise the right to freedom of speech and information.
  2. to fulfil a legal obligation required by the law of the Union or Member States to which the data controller is subject, or to perform a task of public interest or in the exercise of public authority delegated to the representative.
  3. for reasons of public interest in the field of public health pursuant to Art. 9 (2) (h) and Art. 9 (2) (i) and Art. 9 (3) GDPR.
  4. for archival purposes of public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, to the extent that the law referred to in subparagraph (a) is likely to render impossible or seriously affect the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or
  5. to enforce, exercise or defend legal claims.

5. Right to information

If you have the right of rectification, erasure or restriction of processing over the data controller, they are obliged to notify all recipients to whom your personal data have been disclosed of the correction or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves to be impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

You reserve the right to be informed about the recipients of your data by the data controller.

6. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive your personal data given to the data controller in a structured and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transfer this data to another person without hindrance by the data controller who was initially given the data, if:

  1. the processing is based on consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR or performance of a contract in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (1) (b) GDPR and
  2. the processing is done by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to transmit your personal data directly from one person to another, insofar as this is technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons shall not be affected.

The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority delegated to the data controller.

7. Right to object

For reasons that arise from your particular situation, you have, at any time, the right to object to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (1) (e) or 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The data controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless he can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the purpose of enforcing, exercising or defending legal claims.

If the personal data relating to you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data in regard to such advertising; this also applies to profiling associated with direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

Regardless of Directive 2002/58/EG, you have the option, in the context of the use of information society services, to exercise your right to object to automated decisions that use technical specifications.

8. Right to withdraw the data protection consent declaration

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the withdrawal.

9. Automated decisions on a case-by-case basis, including profiling

You have the right to not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – that will have a legal effect or substantially affect you in a similar manner. This does not apply if the decision:

  1. is required for the conclusion or execution of a contract between you and the data controller,
  2. is permitted by the Union or Member State legislation to which the data controller is subject, and where such legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
  3. is based on your explicit consent.

However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data under Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2) (a) or Art. 9 (2) (b) GDPR applies and reasonable measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.

With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the data controller shall take appropriate measures to uphold your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, including the right to obtain assistance from the data controller or his representative, to express your opinion on the matter, and to contest the decision.

10. Right to complain to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you shall have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, in the Member State of your residence, or your place of work or place of alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of the personal data concerning you violates the GDPR.

Use of Connectoor
Connectoor

Privacy policy for applicants who apply via the Connectoor platform (m/f/d)

Hello and thank you for your interest in becoming part of our team. For reasons of better readability alone, the simultaneous use of male and female and diverse language forms is dispensed with in the following explanations. All personal designations apply to all genders: m/f/d. In addition to these and other matters, we also take your rights to privacy, data protection and informational self-determination very seriously. We would therefore like to inform you of the following:

What happens when applicants apply in response to a job advertisement?

1. We use the recruiting tool Connectoor to receive and manage the application and thus for the purpose of (possibly) establishing an employment relationship. The provider of this application is

jobEconomy GmbH
Meinekestr. 26
10719 Berlin
Germany
Phone: +49 (0)30 / 555 78 77 20
Phone: +49 (0)30 / 889 221 - 20
E-mail: info@connectoor.com

The privacy policy of this provider can be found here: www.connectoor.com/datenschutz/. We would like to point out that - despite the integration of the Connectoor - we remain responsible for the processing operations ourselves.

2. If you apply to us via the Connectoor, the following happens. The provider collects the following data from you on our behalf:

Your salutation, your first and last name, your contact details, your other data from the application.

We can then access an internal area of this recruiting tool and view your applicant data. We then also have the following options: Making notes that are linked to your application data; internal company communication about your application (with the relevant specialist departments if necessary); documentation of the decision on the further processing of the application, invitation to one or more job interviews, invitation to one or more trial working days, transmission of an employment contract document, production of a rejection through to the implementation of onboarding measures. You can find more details on the possible areas of application here: www.connectoor.com/funktionen/

3. The legal basis for this is Article 88(1) GDPR in conjunction with § Section 26 (1) BDSG, according to which the processing of application data is also permitted without the consent of applicants if this is necessary for the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship. The assertion of this legal basis is not precluded by the fact that we use an external service provider for this purpose, namely the provider of Connectoor. This is because we have carefully selected this provider, contractually bound it in accordance with the law and review it regularly. These processes are always in accordance with Article 28 GDPR, which regulates so-called subprocessing.

4. In the event that an employment relationship is established between us, we will store your application data until the end of the statutory retention period, which generally ends no later than ten years after termination of the employment relationship. In the event that unfortunately no employment relationship is established, the following applies: Of course, we do not like to turn anyone down and we do not like to receive rejections. In cases where this unfortunately happens, we store your application data for three months after receipt of the respective rejection. Here we refer to Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR. According to this provision, processing is permissible for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. We derive our legitimate interest from Section 15 (4) of the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). According to this norm, a claim for compensation following discrimination must be asserted in writing within a period of two months. In the application process, this period begins with the receipt of the rejection. In our opinion, if we are not aware of a complaint six months after rejection, it cannot be assumed that such a complaint has been made, so that we may store the data until then in order to safeguard our legitimate interests (defense against a claim for compensation). If you assert a violation of the prohibition of discrimination, we may store data until the process has been completed; this is also to protect our legitimate interests (defense against a claim for compensation). Here in particular, we exercise our right to issue instructions to the provider of the Connectoor.

5. There is no legal obligation to collect this data during the application phase. However, it is possible that the absence of some or all data may occasionally lead to inquiries or, in the case of permanent absence, to the impossibility of recruitment.

What rights do you have?

You have a number of rights. You have the right to information about the personal data processed about you as well as the right to rectification or erasure, to restriction of processing, to object to processing and to data portability. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority responsible for us. We would like to politely point out that these rights may be subject to conditions, which we will insist are met.

2. Description and scope of data processing

a) What type of information does Facebook process?

To provide Facebook products, it is necessary for Facebook to process information about visitors. The types of information that Facebook collects depends on how visitors use Facebook products. The following information can be processed by Facebook:

Anything generated and provided by visitors and others, such as information about how the visitor uses Facebook products, information about transactions done on Facebook products, or information about the people, pages, accounts, hashtags, and groups with which the visitor is connected.

Device information such as device properties, identifiers, network and connections, and cookie data.

Partner information that allows advertisers, app developers and publishers to send information to Facebook through the Facebook business tools they use, including social plugins (such as the "Like" button), Facebook login or Facebook pixel. These partners provide Facebook with information about the visitor's activities outside Facebook.

In addition, Facebook uses cookies that are set on the visitor's device when the Facebook page is accessed, regardless of whether the visitor is logged into his Facebook account or not. Facebook also processes the information stored in cookies when a person uses the Facebook services, services provided by other members of the Facebook corporate group, and services provided by other companies that use the Facebook services. In addition, other sites, such as Facebook partners and other third parties, may use cookies on Facebook Services to provide services to Facebook or companies advertising on Facebook. For more information about Facebook's use of cookies, see the Facebook Cookie Policy:

en-gb.facebook.com/policies/cookies/

When you access a Facebook page, the IP address assigned to your device is transmitted to Facebook. According to Facebook, this IP address is anonymized (for "German" IP addresses) and deleted after 90 days. In addition, Facebook stores information about its users' devices (e.g. as part of the "registration notification" function); Facebook may thus be able to assign IP addresses to individual users.

If you want to avoid this, you should log out of Facebook or deactivate the function "stay logged in", delete the cookies on your device and close and restart your browser. Thus, information that Facebook can use to identifiy you is deleted. This allows you to use our Facebook page without revealing your Facebook account. When you access the interactive features of the page (like, comment, share, news, etc.), a Facebook login screen appears. After an eventual login, you will again be recognisable for Facebook as a specific user.

Partners who use Facebook analysis services;
Advertisers;
Partner for metrics;
Partners who offer goods and services in Facebook products;
Vendors and service providers;
Researchers and scientists;
Law enforcement authorities or legal inquiries.

For more information about the information that Facebook may share with third parties, please see the Facebook Privacy Policy:

en-gb.facebook.com/about/privacy

c) How does Facebook process and transmit data as part of its global services?

Facebook shares information worldwide, both internally between Facebook companies and externally with its partners, as well as with those individuals or organisations with whom the visitor connects around the world and with whom the visitor shares something. Data may also be transferred to and processed in the USA or other third countries that do not have an adequate level of data protection. In this regard, Facebook uses standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or relies on the European Commission's adequacy decisions regarding certain countries.

For more information about Facebook data submissions, please see the Facebook privacy Policy:

3. Data removal and storage duration

Facebook stores data until it is no longer needed to provide its services and Facebook products, or until the user's Facebook account is deleted, whichever comes first. This is a case-by-case determination and depends on such things as the nature of the data, why it is collected and processed, and the relevant legal or operational storage needs.
