Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data Privacy Policy.

When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g. communication by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the data controller

The data controller for this website is:

Schock GmbH

Hofbauerstrasse 1

D-94209 Regen, Germany

Phone: +49 9921 6000

Email: info@schock.de

The data controller is the natural person or legal entity who determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.), alone or jointly with others.

Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period is stated within this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you file a justified request for deletion, or withdraw consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law). In the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9(1) GDPR. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information on your terminal device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is also carried out on the basis of Section 25(1) TDDDG. Your consent can be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required to execute a contract or to implement pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. The data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this Privacy Policy.

Note on data transfer to the US and other third countries

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the US or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in these countries.

For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) will process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw the consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to the collection of data in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 (1) (E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSERTING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING,

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS CONNECTED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority

In the event that the GDPR is breached, data subjects shall have a right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged breach. The right of appeal is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or performance of a contract handed over to you or a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out insofar as it is technically feasible.

Information, deletion and correction

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient, the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to the correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time about this and any other questions you may have on the subject of personal data.

Right to restrict processing

You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data held by us, we will usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, you can request that the data processing be restricted instead of deleted.

If we no longer require your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or enforce legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of being deleted.

If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your interests and our interests must be balanced. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural person or legal entity, or for reasons of important public interest pertaining to the European Union or a Member State.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from

“http://” to “https://”, and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to advertising emails

An objection to the use of contact data published within the framework of the obligation to provide publication details for the transmission of advertising and information material that was not expressly requested is raised herewith. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited transmission of advertising information, such as spam emails.

Cookies

Our internet pages use “cookies”. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your terminal device. They are stored either temporarily, for the duration of a session (session cookies), or permanently (permanent cookies) on your terminal device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services provided by third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically required, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the video display). Other cookies may be used to evaluate user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies. This is to ensure that it provides its services in a way that is both optimal and free of technical errors. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG). Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about cookies being placed on your device and only allow cookies in individual cases. This is so that you can exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and so that cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website in this Privacy Policy.

Consent with ConsentManager

This website uses OneTrust cookie consent technology to obtain your consent to certain cookies being stored on your terminal device, or to certain technologies being used, and to document this in a way that is compliant with data protection. The provider of this technology is OneTrust, represented via two main offices in the US and England: Atlanta, GA, USA (Co-Headquarters), 1200 Abernathy Rd NE, Building 600, Atlanta, GA 30328 United States, +1 (844) 847 7154, England (Co-Headquarters), 82 St Johns Street, Farringdon London, EC1M 4JN, +44 (800) 011 9778. Website: https://www.onetrust.com (hereinafter “OneTrust”).

Furthermore, OneTrust stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to assign the given consent or its withdrawal to you. The data collected in this way is stored until you ask us to delete it, until you delete the OneTrust cookie yourself, or until the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.

OneTrust is used to obtain consent that is legally required for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(1)(c) GDPR.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in “server log files”, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

Browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL

Host name of the accessing computer, time of the server request

IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in its website being optimised and free from technical errors – for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.

Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you have provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up enquiries. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after we have finished processing your enquiry). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Request by email or telephone

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry and all the resulting personal data (name, enquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after we have finished processing your request). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to embed tracking or statistical tools and other technologies on our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies or perform any independent analyses. It is only used for the administration and delivery of the tools it integrates. However, Google Tag Manager does collect your IP address, which may also be transferred to Google's parent company in the United States.

The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in ensuring the quick, uncomplicated integration and administration of various tools on its website. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) of the German Data Protection and Privacy of Telecommunication and Telemedia Services Act (TDDDG), insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Your consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various types of usage data, such as page views, length of stay, operating systems used and the origin of the user. This data is summarised in a user ID and assigned to the respective website user's terminal device.

Furthermore, Google Analytics allows us to record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks, among other things. In addition, Google Analytics uses various modelling approaches to augment the collected data sets and employs machine learning technologies for data analysis.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the user to be recognised for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google on the use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the US and stored there.

The use of this service is based on your consent according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. Your consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Data transfer to the US is based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here:

https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

IP anonymisation

We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. This means that, before being transmitted to the US, your IP address will be shortened by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area . Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the US and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser for use by Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser plugin

You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

For more information on how Google Analytics handles user data, please see Google's Privacy Policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Google Signals

We use Google Signals. When you visit our website, Google Analytics collects, among other things, your location, search history and YouTube history, as well as demographic data (visitor data). With the help of Google Signals, this data can be used for personalised advertising . If you have a Google account, visitor data from Google Signals will be linked to your Google account and used for personalised advertising messages. The data is also used to compile anonymised statistics on the user behaviour of our users.

Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics

This website uses the “demographic characteristics” function of Google Analytics in order to display suitable advertisements within the Google advertising network to website visitors. This allows reports to be created that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising by Google and visitor data passed along by third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as shown in the “Objection to data collection” item.

Order processing

We have concluded an order processing contract with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Google Ads

The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising programme provided by Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Ads enables us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters certain search terms on Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be displayed based on the user data that Google has available (e.g. location data and interests) (target group targeting). As a website operator, we can evaluate this data quantitatively by analysing, for example, which search terms have led to our advertisements being displayed and how many advertisements have led to corresponding clicks.

The use of this service is based on your consent according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. Your consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Data transfer to the US is based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here:

https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google conversion tracking allows Google and us to see whether the user has taken certain actions. For example, we can evaluate which buttons on our website were clicked how often and which products were viewed or purchased particularly frequently. This information is used to create conversion statistics. We find out the total number of users

who clicked on our ads and what actions they took. We do not receive any information with which we can personally identify the user. Google itself uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies for identification purposes.

The use of this service is based on your consent according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. Your consent can be withdrawn at any time.

You can find more information about Google conversion tracking in Google’s Privacy Policy:

https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Google DoubleClick

This website uses Google DoubleClick functions. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, (hereinafter "DoubleClick").

DoubleClick is used to show you interest-based ads across the Google advertising network. With the help of DoubleClick, the advertisements can be oriented towards the interests of the respective viewer. For example, our advertising may be displayed in Google search results or in banner ads associated with DoubleClick. 13 / 19 In order to be able to display interest-based advertising to users, DoubleClick must be able to recognise the respective viewer and associate them with the web pages visited, clicks and other information on user behaviour. DoubleClick uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting) for this purpose. The collected information is combined into a pseudonymous user profile in order to display interest-based advertising to the relevant user.

The use of this service is based on your consent according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. Your consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Meta Pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel)

This website uses the visitor action pixel by Facebook/Meta for conversion measurement. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However, according to Facebook, the data collected is also transferred to the US and other third countries.

In this way, the behaviour of page visitors can be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This allows the effectiveness of Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and to optimise future advertising measures.

As the operator of this website, the collected data remains anonymous to us; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, which means that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and that Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook Data Usage Policy (

https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/). This allows Facebook to operate ads on Facebook pages as well as pages outside of Facebook. As the site operator, this use of data cannot be influenced by us .

The use of this service is based on your consent according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. Your consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Insofar as personal data is collected on our website with the help of the tool described here and forwarded to Facebook, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). The joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of the data and its transfer to Facebook. The processing by Facebook that takes place after the data is forwarded is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent on us both have been set out in a joint processing agreement. You can find the text of the agreement at:

https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing privacy information when using the Facebook tool, and for implementing the tool on our website in a way that protects privacy. Facebook is responsible for the data security of Facebook products. You can assert data subject rights (e.g. requests for information) regarding the data processed by Facebook directly with Facebook. If you assert the data subject rights with us, we are obliged to forward them to Facebook.

Data transfer to the US is based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here:

https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum and https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381.

You can find more information about protecting your privacy in Facebook's Privacy Notice: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

You can also deactivate the “Custom Audiences” remarketing function in the Ad Settings area at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen . To do this, you must be logged in to Facebook.

Newsletter data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on our website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receiving the newsletter. Further data is not collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We use newsletter service providers for administering newsletters, which are described below.

Sendinblue

This website uses Sendinblue to send newsletters. The provider is Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany.

Sendinblue is a service with which, among other things, the sending of newsletters can be organised and analysed. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored on Sendinblue’s servers in Germany.

Data analysis by Sendinblue

With the help of Sendinblue, we are able to analyse our newsletter campaigns. For example,

you can see whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked on. In this way, we can determine, among other things, which links have been clicked on particularly often.

In addition, we can see whether certain previously defined actions have been carried out after opening/clicking (conversion rate). This enables us to see, for example, whether you have made a purchase after clicking on the newsletter.

Sendinblue also allows us to subdivide (“cluster”) newsletter recipients according to different categories. The newsletter recipients may be subdivided according to age, gender or place of residence, for example. In this way, the newsletters can be better adapted to the respective target groups.

If you do not want any analysis by Sendinblue to occur, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this in every newsletter message.

For detailed information on the functions of Sendinblue, please see the following link: https://de.sendinblue.com/newsletter-software/.

Legal basis

The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing operations that have already been carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Storage period

The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and are deleted from the newsletter distribution list after unsubscribing from the newsletter. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if necessary, to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is only used for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interests and our interests in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not limited in terms of time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

For more details, please refer to Sendinblue's Privacy Policy at: https://de.sendinblue.com/datenschutz-uebersicht/.

Order processing

We have concluded an order processing agreement (AVV) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that this company only processes the personal data of our website visitors in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Vimeo without tracking (do not track)

This website uses plugins from the video portal Vimeo. The provider is Vimeo Inc, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.

When you visit one of our pages equipped with Vimeo videos, a connection to the Vimeo servers is established. This tells the Vimeo server which of our pages you have visited. In addition, Vimeo obtains your IP address. However, we have set up Vimeo in such a way that Vimeo will not track your user activity or place cookies on your terminal device.

The use of Vimeo is in the interest of presenting our online offers in an appealing way. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

The data transfer to the US is based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses and, according to Vimeo, on “legitimate business interests”. Details can be found here: https://vimeo.com/privacy.

Google Maps

This site uses the map service Google Maps. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Your IP address must be saved to use Google Maps functions. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the US and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence over this data transmission. If Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Fonts for the purpose of ensuring the uniform display of fonts. When you access Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of presenting our online offers in an appealing way and of making it easy to find the location of the places indicated by us on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) of the German Data Protection and Privacy of Telecommunication and Telemedia Services Act (TDDDG), insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Your consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Data transfer to the US is based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here:

https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/ and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/sccs/.

Simple Captcha

This website uses the captcha tool wegmeister/simplecaptcha (hereinafter “Simple Captcha”). The provider is Neos Foundation e.V., Tatzberg 47, 01307 Dresden, Germany.

Simple Captcha is programmed to check whether the data entry on this website (e.g. in a contact form) is made by a human or an automated programme. For this purpose, Simple Captcha analyses the behaviour of the website visitor using timestamps. Simple Captcha does not evaluate any personal data for the purpose of analysis. . For more information, see:

https://www.neos.io/de/download/pakete/wegmeister/wegmeister-simplecaptcha.html

The processing and analysis of the data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its website from abusive automated spying and from SPAM.

SISTRIX TOOLBOX AND SEOBILITY

This website uses the web analysis tools provided by the company SISTRIX GmbH (“Sistrix”) and the company Seobility GmbH (“Seobility”). These analysis tools help make it easier to find our website in search engines. In this regard, only keyword, domain and search data are collected and stored. Personal data is not collected, stored or processed. For more information on data collection and use, please visit http://sistrix.de/sistrix/datenschutz/ and http://seobility.net/de/datenschutz/.

Data transmission upon conclusion of a contract for services and digital content

We only transmit personal data to third parties if this is necessary for processing the contract, for example, when it needs to be sent to the credit institution commissioned to process payments.

Further transmission of the data does not occur unless you have expressly consented to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, such as when it is to be used for advertising purposes.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Handling of applicant data

We offer you the opportunity to apply with us (e.g. by email, post or via online application form). The following information includes details on the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data will be carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions, and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.

Scope and purpose of data collection

If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) to the extent that this is necessary to make a decision as to whether an employment relationship should be established. The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation). Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.

Retention period for the data

If we are unable to make you a job offer, if you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have provided on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application).

The data is then deleted and the physical application documents 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 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will only be deleted when the purpose for continued storage no longer applies.

Longer storage may also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if legal storage obligations prevent deletion.

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The social networks we use

can be found in detail below.

Social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. can generally analyse your user behaviour comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. "like" buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media sites triggers numerous processing operations relevant to data protection. For example:

If you are logged into your social media account and visit one of our social media pages, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection takes place, for example, via cookies that are stored on your terminal device or by recording your IP address.

With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you on and outside of the respective social media page. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based advertising may be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in to.

Please also note that we are not able to track all processing on social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social media portals.

Legal basis

Our social media pages are designed to ensure the broadest possible presence on the internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which must be stated by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

Data controller and assertion of rights

If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. In principle, you can assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. against Facebook).

Please note that despite joint responsibility with social media portal operators, we do not have full influence over the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.

Storage period

The data directly collected by us via our social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request that we delete it, withdraw your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

We have no influence over the storage period for your data that is stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of social networks directly (e.g. as per their Privacy Policy, see below).

Your rights

You have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to object, the right to data portability and the right to complain to the competent supervisory authority. Furthermore, you can request that your personal data be corrected, blocked, and deleted. Under certain circumstances, you can also request that its processing be restricted.
