Privacy policy

General

As the operator of this website and as a company, we come into contact with your personal data. This refers to all data that says something about you and with which you can be identified. In this privacy policy, we would like to explain to you how, for what purpose and on what legal basis we process your data.

We are responsible for data processing on this website and in our company:

Mella Weber – Lines & Dots
Holstenstr. 194C
2276 Hamburg

E-mail: mail@lines-and-dots.com

General information

SSL or TLS encryption

When you enter your data on websites, place online orders or send e-mails over the Internet, you must always be prepared for unauthorized third parties to access your data. There is no complete protection against such access. However, we make every effort to protect your data in the best possible way and to close security gaps as far as possible.

An important protection mechanism is the SSL or TLS encryption of our website, which ensures that data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize the encryption by the lock icon in front of the Internet address entered in your browser and by the fact that our Internet address begins with https:// and not with http://.

Encrypted payment transactions

Payment data, such as account or credit card numbers, are particularly sensitive. For this reason, payment transactions with common means of payment are made exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection.

How long do we store your data?

In some places in this privacy policy, we inform you about how long we or the companies that process your data on our behalf store your data. If no such information is provided, we will store your data until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies, you object to the data processing or you withdraw your consent to the data processing.

However, in the event of an objection or revocation, we may continue to process your data if at least one of the following conditions is met:

We have compelling legitimate grounds for continuing the data processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms (only if you object to the data processing; if the objection is directed against direct marketing, we cannot provide any legitimate grounds).

Data processing is necessary in order to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (does not apply if your objection is directed against direct advertising).

We are legally obliged to store your data.

In this case, we will delete your data as soon as the requirement(s) cease(s) to apply.

Data transfer to the USA

We also use tools on our website from companies that transfer your data to the USA, where it is stored and, if necessary, further processed. This is particularly important for you because your data does not enjoy the same protection in the USA as it does within the EU, where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It is therefore possible that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Your rights

Objection to data processing

IF YOU READ IN THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION THAT WE HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA AND THEREFORE BASE THIS ON ART. 6 ABS. 1 SENTENCE 1 LIT. F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT UNDER ART. 21 GDPR YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THIS. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED PROVISION. THE PREREQUISITE IS THAT YOU STATE REASONS FOR THE OBJECTION THAT ARISE FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. NO JUSTIFICATION IS REQUIRED IF THE OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING.

THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE OBJECTION IS THAT WE MAY NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR DATA. THIS ONLY DOES NOT APPLY IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS APPLIES:

WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.

THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.

THE EXCEPTIONS DO NOT APPLY IF YOUR OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST DIRECT ADVERTISING OR AGAINST PROFILING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS.

Further rights

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are based on your consent. You give this consent, for example, by ticking the appropriate box on online forms before you send the form or by allowing certain cookies when you visit our website. You can withdraw your consent at any time without giving reasons (Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR). We may then no longer process your data from the time you withdraw your consent. The only exception: We are legally obliged to retain the data for a certain period of time. Such retention periods exist in particular in tax and commercial law.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

If you believe that we are in breach of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR. You can contact a supervisory authority in the member state of your place of residence, your place of work or the place where the alleged infringement took place. The right to lodge a complaint exists in addition to administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

Data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract must be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format if you request this. We can only transfer the data to another controller if this is technically possible.

Right to data access, erasure and rectification

In accordance with Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to receive information free of charge about what personal data we have stored about you, where the data comes from, to whom we transmit the data and for what purpose it is stored. If the data is incorrect, you have the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR); under the conditions of Art. 17 GDPR, you may request that we erase the data.

Right to restriction of processing

In certain situations, you can request that we restrict the processing of your data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR. The data may then – apart from storage – only be processed as follows:

with your consent

for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims

to protect the rights of another natural or legal person

for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State

The right to restriction of processing exists in the following situations:

You have disputed the accuracy of your personal data stored by us and we need time to check this. Here you have the right for the duration of the review.

The processing of your personal data is unlawful or was unlawful in the past. In this case, you have the alternative right to erasure of the data.

We no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense or assertion of legal claims. Alternatively, you have the right to have the data erased.

You have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR and now your interests and ours must be weighed against each other. You have the right to do so as long as the outcome of the balancing process has not yet been determined.

Hosting and Content Delivery Networks (CDN)

External hosting

Our website is hosted on a server of the following internet service provider (hoster):

Baebeca Solutions GmbH
Brink 1
51647 Gummersbach

How do we process your data?

The host stores all data from our website. This also includes all personal data that is collected automatically or through your input. This may include in particular Your IP address, pages accessed, names, contact details and inquiries as well as meta and communication data. When processing data, Baebeca Solutions GmbH complies with our instructions and only ever processes the data to the extent necessary to fulfill its service obligations to us.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

Since we address potential customers via our website and maintain contact with existing customers, data processing by our hoster serves to initiate and fulfill contracts and is therefore based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. In addition, it is our legitimate interest as a company to provide a professional website that meets the necessary requirements for security, speed and efficiency. In this respect, we also process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Data collection on this website

Use of cookies

Our website places cookies on your device. These are small text files that are used for different purposes. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function at all (necessary cookies). Others are required to perform certain actions or functions on the site (functional cookies). For example, without cookies it would not be possible to use the benefits of a shopping basket in an online store. Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or to optimize advertising measures. If we use third-party services on our website, e.g. to process payment transactions, these companies may also leave cookies on your device when you access the website (so-called third-party cookies).

How do we process your data?

Session cookies are only stored on your device for the duration of a session. As soon as you close the browser, they disappear automatically. Permanent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device if you do not delete them yourself. This can, for example, lead to your user behavior being permanently analyzed. You can use the settings in your browser to influence how it handles cookies:

Do you want to be informed when cookies are set?

Do you want to exclude cookies in general or for certain cases?

Do you want cookies to be deleted automatically when you close your browser?

If you deactivate or do not allow cookies, the functionality of the website may be restricted.

If we use cookies from other companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this in this privacy policy. We also ask for your consent in this regard when you visit our website.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our online services can be used by visitors without technical problems and that all desired functions are available to them. The storage of necessary and functional cookies on your device is therefore based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. We use all other cookies on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR, provided that you give us your consent to do so. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. If you have consented to the placement of necessary and functional cookies when your consent was requested, these cookies will also be stored exclusively on the basis of your consent.

Cookie consent with Borlabs Cookie

What is Borlabs Cookie?
Cookie plugin for compliance with the GDPR and ePrivacy

Who processes your data?
Only we, not the provider of Borlabs Cookie

Where can you find more information about data protection at Borlabs Cookie?
https://de.borlabs.io/kb/welche-daten-speichert-borlabs-cookie/

How do we process your data?

We use Borlabs Cookie to obtain your consent to the storage of cookies on your device. If you visit our website and close the Borlabs Cookie window with the request for consent, a Borlabs cookie with the following content will be stored in your browser:

Cookie runtime

Cookie version

Domain and path of the website

Consents

a randomly generated ID

This data is not transmitted to the provider of Borlabs Cookie.

We store the data until the purpose of the data storage no longer applies, you delete the Borlabs cookie or request us to delete the data. This only does not apply if we are legally obliged to store the data.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We are legally obliged to obtain the consent of our website visitors for the use of certain cookies. To fulfill this obligation, we use Borlabs Cookie. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR.

Server log files

Server log files log all requests and access to our website and record error messages. They also contain personal data, in particular your IP address. However, this is anonymized by the provider after a short time so that we cannot assign the data to you personally. The data is automatically transmitted from your browser to our provider.

How do we process your data?

Our provider stores the server log files in order to be able to track the activities on our website and to detect errors. The files contain the following data:

Browser type and version

Operating system used

Referrer URL

Host name of the accessing computer

Time of the server request

IP address (anonymized if necessary)

We do not merge this data with other data, but only use it for statistical analysis and to improve our website.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our website runs smoothly. It is also in our legitimate interest to obtain an anonymized overview of access to our website. Data processing is therefore lawful in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Contact form

You can send us a message using the contact form on this website.

How do we process your data?

We store your message and the information from the form in order to be able to process your request, including follow-up questions. This also applies to the contact details provided. We will not pass the data on to other persons without your consent.

If your request is related to our contractual relationship or serves the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. In all other cases, it is in our legitimate interest to process inquiries addressed to us effectively. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of your data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. In this case, you can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Request by e-mail, telephone or fax

You can send us a message by e-mail or fax or give us a call.

How do we process your data?

We store your message and the contact details you have provided or the telephone number you have transmitted so that we can process your inquiry, including any follow-up questions. We will not pass the data on to other persons without your consent.

Communication via WhatsApp

What is WhatsApp?
Instant messaging service

Who processes your data?
WhatsApp Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland

Has an order processing contract been concluded with WhatsApp?
Yes

Where can you find more information about data protection on WhatsApp?

https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy

On what basis do we transfer your data to the USA?
WhatsApp complies with the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission (see https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/busine ss-data-processing-terms?lang=de)

How do we process your data?

For communication with our customers and other people outside our company, we use the instant messaging service WhatsApp in the “WhatsApp Business” version.

Communication takes place via end-to-end encryption (peer-to-peer). This prevents WhatsApp or other third parties from gaining access to the communication content. We have also set up our accounts so that there is no automatic synchronization with the address book on the smartphones used. However, WhatsApp receives access to the metadata of the communication process (e.g. sender, recipient and time of communication) and, according to its own statement, shares this data with Facebook, its parent company based in the USA.

How long do we store your data?

We delete your data as soon as one of the following points occurs:

The purpose of the data processing no longer applies.

You ask us to delete the data.

You revoke your consent to storage.

This only does not apply if we are legally obliged to retain the data.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

If our exchange via WhatsApp is related to our contractual relationship or serves the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. In all other cases, it is in our legitimate interest to process inquiries addressed to us effectively and to maintain business contact with other persons. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of your data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. In this case, you can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Registration function

In order to use certain functions or offers on our website, you must register. This requires you to enter your e-mail address and possibly other personal data.

How do we process your data?

We store the data you provide during registration and use it to provide you with the function or offer for which you have registered. If there are any changes to the offer or function, we will use your e-mail address to inform you. We also use your e-mail address to make you further contractual offers if necessary.

How long do we store your data?

We delete your data as soon as one of the following points occurs:

The purpose of the data processing no longer applies.

You ask us to delete the data.

You revoke your consent to storage.

This only does not apply if we are legally obliged to retain the data.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We store and use your data in order to fulfill the user relationship established during registration and, if necessary, to initiate further contracts. The legal basis is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

Comment function

You have the option of commenting on content on our website via corresponding input windows. To be able to use the comment function, you must enter your e-mail address. It is also possible to subscribe to the comments of others.

How do we process your data?

If you leave comments on our website, we store the following data:

Your comment

Your e-mail address

the time of the commentary

other data that you provide in the course of commenting, e.g. your user name

Your IP address

We store data with which you can be identified in order to be able to take legal action against you if your comment is offensive, inciting hatred or otherwise criminally relevant.

If you subscribe to comments, we will send you an e-mail to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided. You can unsubscribe from receiving comments at any time via a link in this e-mail.

How long do we store your data?

We store your comments and the associated data until the commented content has been completely deleted or the comments have to be deleted for legal reasons, e.g. because they violate criminal law.

If you have subscribed to comments and unsubscribe, all data provided as part of the subscription will be deleted. If we have also stored your data for another reason, e.g. because you have subscribed to our newsletter, this data is not affected by the deletion.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

By using the comment function, you consent to the storage of your data. The basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time by sending us an email in which you declare your revocation. From this point on, we may no longer process your data.

Social media plugins

Use of social media plugins

Data protection compliant use

We use social media plugins on our website. You can recognize them by the social network logos. Thanks to the plugins, you can easily share the content on our website on social networks. The individual plugins we use can be found in the list at the end of this section. Here you will also find the relevant data protection information for the networks.

How do we process your data?

The plugins usually work in such a way that visiting the website on which they are embedded is sufficient to establish a connection to the servers of the social networks. In this way, the companies offering them learn that the website in question was visited via your IP address. With the exception of Xing, all networks store the IP address. Further personal data may be added. Your data is usually transferred to servers in the USA. If this is the case, you can find out the basis on which this is done in the information on the networks below.

To better protect your personal data, we only use social media buttons that comply with data protection regulations. They replace the usual social network buttons with buttons that only communicate with the social network servers when you click on them. Nevertheless, you can still easily share information with others.

Even when using the data protection-compliant social media buttons, your surfing behavior can be assigned to your personal profile in a social network if you are logged into your account there when you click on the button. If you do not want this, you must log out of your account before you continue surfing the Internet.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

By activating the button, you give your consent for a link to be established to the social network concerned, for your IP address and possibly other data to be transmitted and for your surfing behavior to be tracked by the social media company. Data processing is therefore lawful pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time. We may no longer process your data from the time you withdraw your consent.

Which social media plugins do we use?

Analysis tools and advertising

We use the following tools to analyze the behavior of our website visitors and to show them advertising.

Matomo Analytics (installed locally)

How do we process your data?

We are always interested in optimizing our website for users and placing advertising in the best possible way. Matomo Analytics, an open source tool that analyzes user behavior and thus provides us with the necessary database for adjustments, helps us to do this. Matomo uses cookies, device fingerprinting and other technologies that enable cross-page recognition of the user to analyze user behavior. Matomo records the page views, the region they come from, the IP address, referrer, browser used and operating systems. The tool can also measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. click on links or make purchases). Once your IP address has been anonymized, the data collected is stored exclusively on our server.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of user behaviour for the purpose of optimizing our website and the advertising placed on it. Data processing is therefore lawful under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. In the event that you have consented to the storage of cookies, for example, or have otherwise consented to data processing, the legal basis is exclusively Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Google Conversion Tracking

What is Google Conversion Tracking?
Tool for the analysis of user behavior of Google Ireland Ltd.

Who processes your data?

Where can you find more information about data protection with Google Conversion Tracking?
https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

On what basis do we transfer your data to the USA?

Google complies with the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission(https://privacy.google.com/businesses/compliance)

How do we process your data?

We are always interested in optimizing our website for users and placing advertising in the best possible way. For this purpose, we also use Google’s conversion tracking. With its help, we can record whether and how often visitors have clicked on certain buttons on our website and which products have been viewed and purchased particularly frequently (conversion statistics). In the course of data collection and storage, we do not receive any information with which we can personally identify individual visitors. Google itself uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies for identification purposes.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behavior for the purpose of optimizing our website and the advertising placed on it. Data processing is therefore lawful under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. In the event that, for example, you have consented to the storage of cookies or have otherwise consented to data processing by Google Conversion Tracking, the legal basis is exclusively Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Plugins and tools

YouTube (with extended data protection)

What is YouTube?
Video platform

Who processes your data?
Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland

Where can you find more information about data protection on YouTube?
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de

How do we process your data?

You can watch YouTube videos on our website. As the provider of YouTube, Google collects and stores certain information about you. However, as we use YouTube in extended data protection mode, this only happens when you start a video. Specifically, the following happens in this case:

Google’s servers are informed which of our pages have been visited from your device. If you are logged into your YouTube account while surfing, Google can assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. If you do not want this, you must log out of your YouTube account before you continue surfing the Internet.
Google receives information about visitors to our website via cookies, device fingerprinting or similar recognition technologies. On this basis, the company then creates video statistics, makes its application more attractive to users and prevents fraud attempts.
Your data may also be processed beyond this. However, we have no knowledge of the details. We also have no influence on the processing.

Even if you do not start a YouTube video on our website, Google establishes a connection to its DoubleClick network and possibly also to other partners. The extended data protection mode therefore does not mean that Google does not process any of your data when you visit our website.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

By integrating YouTube videos, we want to make our website and our services and offers more appealing. This is our legitimate interest as a company and therefore lawful under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

If you have consented to data processing, we process your data exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time. We may no longer process your data from the time you withdraw your consent.

Google Web Fonts (local hosting)

We use fonts from the US company Google on our website. We have installed the fonts locally so that there is no connection to Google’s servers when you visit our website.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Font Awesome (local hosting)

On what basis do we transfer your data to the USA?

How do we process your data?

We use Google Maps on our website. To enable you to use all the functions of the map service, Google stores your IP address on one of its servers in the USA.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

The maps from Google Maps ensure that the locations specified on our website are easier for visitors to find. As a company, we have a legitimate interest in this. Data processing is therefore lawful under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

On what basis do we transfer your data to the USA?
Google complies with the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission(https://privacy.google.com/businesses/compliance)

How do we process your data?

We use Google reCAPTCHA to check whether data entered into forms on our website originates from a human or from a computer. For you, this means that the test tool analyzes your behavior as a visitor to our website based on various characteristics. The analysis does not begin when you use the test tool, but when you visit our website. Various data is recorded, e.g. the IP address, the time spent on our website and mouse movements made. The data is forwarded to Google.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

As a company, we have a legitimate interest in protecting our website from spam and abusive spying. Data processing is therefore lawful under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

eCommerce and payment providers

Customer and contract data

How do we process your data?

When we conclude a contract with you, we require certain personal data from you. We collect, process and use this data only insofar as it is necessary to establish our legal relationship, to shape its content or to change it. If you can only use our services via our website or if the services are billed via the website, we also collect usage data if this is necessary to enable you to use our services or to bill you for the service used.

How long do we store your data?

We store your data until our legal relationship ends, unless we are legally obliged to store the data for longer.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We store your data in order to fulfill the contract with you or to carry out pre-contractual measures. The basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

Data transmission for shipment of goods

How do we process your data?

When you order goods from us, we transmit your data to companies that we commission with the delivery and/or through which we process the payment. Only data that is necessary for the commissioned company to carry out the specific order will be transmitted. If we wish to pass on data beyond this, we will obtain your consent. We do not pass on your data for advertising purposes.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We pass on your data in order to fulfill the contract that we have concluded with you. The basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

Data transmission when using services and digital content

How do we process your data?

To process the payment, we transmit your data to a payment service or the credit institution commissioned to process the payment. We only pass on data that is absolutely necessary for the payment process. If we wish to pass on data beyond this, we will obtain your consent.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We pass on your data in order to fulfill the contract that we have concluded with you. The basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. If you have consented to the disclosure of your data, the data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Payment services

So that you can conveniently pay for your purchases on our website, we use the services of payment services, i.e. external companies that process payments for us. You can find a list of these companies at the end of this section.

How do we process your data?

You must provide certain personal data for the payment process, e.g. your name, bank account details or credit card number. We pass this data on to the respective payment service. The respective contractual and data protection provisions of the respective services apply to the transaction itself.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We pass on your data in order to fulfill the contract that we have concluded with you. The basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. We also have a legitimate interest in processing purchases as quickly, conveniently and securely as possible. In this respect, the legal basis is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented to the transfer of your data, the data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Handling applicant data

If you would like to work for us, we would be pleased to receive your application. We treat all personal data submitted as strictly confidential. This also applies to data that we only collect later during the application process.

How do we process your data?

We store and use all data that we collect during the application process insofar as this is necessary for the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship. In addition to contact and communication data and application documents, this also applies, for example, to notes that we take during job interviews. We only pass on your data within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application.

If your application is successful, we will store the data required to carry out the employment relationship in our data processing systems.

If we are currently unable to offer you a suitable position, we will be happy to add your data to our applicant pool with your consent. This gives us the opportunity to contact you if a position becomes available that matches your profile.

How long do we store your data?

If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain your documents and other application data for up to 6 months after the end of the application process. The reason for this is that we may need the data for evidence purposes in the event of a legal dispute. After this period has expired, we delete the data and destroy the documents. If a legal dispute is actually imminent or already pending, we will delete the data and documents if they are no longer required for evidentiary purposes.

We delete data in the applicant pool no later than 2 years after consent has been granted. If you withdraw your consent before this period expires, we will delete it earlier.

The deletion of your data always presupposes that we are not legally obliged to keep it for longer.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We process your applicant data on the basis of § 26 BDSG-new (initiation of an employment relationship) and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR (general contract initiation).

The same applies if your application is successful.

If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we have a legitimate interest in using your data for evidence purposes in a possible legal dispute. The data processing is therefore based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

If you have expressly consented to the storage of your data, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

This GDPR-compliant privacy policy was created with the intelligent data protection generator of the PRIVE data protection software created.
