4. Custom Services

Job Applications

We offer website visitors the opportunity to submit job applications to us (e.g. via e-mail, via postal services on by submitting the online job application form). Below, we will brief you on the scope, purpose and use of the personal data collected from you in conjunction with the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data will occur in compliance with the applicable data privacy rights and all other statutory provisions and that your data will always be treated as strictly confidential.

Scope and purpose of the collection of data

If you submit a job application to us, we will process any affiliated personal data (e.g. contact and communications data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.), if they are required to make a decision concerning the establishment or an employment relationship. The legal grounds for the aforementioned are § 26 New GDPR according to German Law (Negotiation of an Employment Relationship), Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. b GDPR (General Contract Negotiations) and – provided you have given us your consent (e.g. for a lengthy storage of your applicant data) – Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR. You may revoke any consent given at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be shared with individuals who are involved in the processing of your job application.

If we are unable to make you a job offer or you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to 4 months from the end of the application procedure (rejection or withdrawal of the application). Afterwards the data will be deleted, and the physical application documents will be destroyed. The storage serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the expiry of the 4-month period (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.

Longer storage may also take place if you have given your agreement (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR) or if statutory data retention requirements preclude the deletion.

5. Data protection information art. 13 GDPR for our business partner (customers, interested parties, suppliers and comparable groups of people)

Data that we process in the course of initiating and executing contracts

We process personal data of our customers, interested parties, service providers and partners, which we receive directly in the context of our business relationship. If we have received data from you, we generally process it only for the purposes for which we received or collected it.

As a rule, we process the following data categories from you:

- Address and / or company address

- telecommunications data

- E-mail address

- professional function and / or position

- Bank details / credit card number / other payment details, if applicable

- possibly data on the history of the business relationship

On the other hand, we process personal data that we have legitimately obtained and are allowed to process from publicly accessible sources (e.g. trade and association registers, press, media, internet).

Data processing for other purposes only comes into consideration if the legal requirements required in this regard according to Art. 6 Para. 4 GDPR are present. In this case, we will of course observe any information obligations under Art. 13 Para. 3 GDPR and Art. 14 Para. 4 GDPR.

Legal basis according to which we process your data

- Based on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 a) GDPR)

We process personal data for one or more specific purposes if you have given us your consent. If personal data is processed based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent to us at any time with future effect.

- Data processing for the fulfillment of contracts (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR)

We process personal data for the fulfillment of contracts. The fulfillment of contracts includes the conclusion, processing and reversal of a contract. In addition, we process personal data that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, such as to initiate a contract, and that are made at your request.

- Data processing based on a legal obligation (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c) GDPR)

Like every company, we have to comply with retention requirements and other documentation requirements, this can also affect documents with personal information. Insofar as we process data for these purposes, the processing takes place on the basis of a legal obligation.

- Data processing based on a balance of interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f) GDPR)

If we process data based on a balance of interests, you as the data subject have the right to object to the processing of personal data, taking into account the requirements of Art. 21 GDPR. As far as the specific purpose allows, we process your data pseudonymized or anonymized.

Further legal bases result from the commercial law and tax law requirements.

Other recipients of your data

- Disclosure to processors in the context of Art. 28 GDPR

Order processors we use (Art. 28 GDPR), in particular in the area of IT services and, for example, printing services that process your data for us in accordance with the instructions. If we commission service providers to perform our tasks, we always comply with the data protection regulations, in particular a transfer takes place only after contracts for order processing have been concluded.

- To carry out a contractual relationship

If it is necessary for the execution of the contract with you, we will pass on your data to banks or shipping service providers, for example.

- Disclosure based on a legal obligation

If there is a legal or official obligation, we pass your data on to public authorities or institutions (authorities, e.g. in the context of law enforcement).

- Other positions, provided you have given us your consent

If there is explicit consent, we will also pass on your data to other locations. However, this takes place within the limits if you have demonstrable consent.

- Disclosure to obtain information

If we make advance payments, we reserve the right to obtain information on identity and creditworthiness from specialized service companies (credit agencies) in order to safeguard our legitimate interests. As a rule, we only do this after obtaining your consent to request information.

General information on deletion periods of personal data Principle of purpose limitation and compliance with the legal retention periods

We process the data as long as this is necessary for the respective purpose. If necessary, we process your personal data for the duration of our business relationship, which also includes the initiation and execution of a contract.

In addition, like every company, we are obliged to comply with the statutory retention periods, for example the periods from commercial and tax law. Insofar as there are statutory retention requirements, the relevant personal data are stored for the duration of the retention obligation. The storage duration is also to the legal limitation periods, which according to §§ 195 ff. Can in certain cases also be up to thirty years. After the retention period has expired, it is checked whether there is a further need for processing. If there is no longer a need, the data will be deleted.

- Emails and business letters

We archive all our email traffic for ten years. If you send us an email, your data and the entire email content will be stored accordingly for 10 years. Most emails count as business letters, and emails can also contain tax-related information. In our opinion, the effort involved in checking each individual e-mail is not in proportion to the sender's benefit and the interests worthy of protection. Of course, you can ask us to delete it at any time and we will carry out a case-by-case examination, and we will inform you of the result. This can lead to deletion or restriction of processing, depending on the content of the correspondence.

- Withdrawal of your consent

If we process your data on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR), we will delete it after your revocation. Unless there is a legitimate interest against complete deletion. For example, we generally keep a declaration of consent for up to three years after receipt of your revocation in the legitimate interest (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f GDPR). We only keep the consent with restriction of processing so that we can defend ourselves in the event of a dispute.

Legal or contractual obligation to provide personal data

The provision of personal data is regularly necessary for the initiation, conclusion, processing and reversal of a contract. In the event that you do not provide the required personal data, we are unable to conclude or fulfill a contract with you.

Transfer to a third country

We generally process your personal data in data centers in the Federal Republic of Germany or the European Union. A transfer to a third country is only possible if you have given us your consent or if we have a contract for order processing in accordance with. Art. 28 GDPR taking into account suitable guarantees or other suitable guarantees.
