Customers, interested parties, business partners and website visitors are affected by the processing. The purpose and our interest in the processing lies in the administration, financial accounting, office organisation, archiving of data, i.e. tasks that serve the maintenance of our business activities, performance of our tasks and provision of our services.

The analyses serve us to increase user-friendliness, optimise our offer and improve business efficiency. The analyses serve us alone and are not disclosed externally, unless they are anonymous analyses with summarised values.

If these analyses or profiles are personal, they will be deleted or anonymised upon termination by the user, otherwise after two years from the conclusion of the contract. Otherwise, the macroeconomic analyses and general tendency determinations are created anonymously if possible.

Participation in affiliate partner programmes

Within our online offer, we use cookies on the basis of our legitimate interests (d.h. Interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer) pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO, insofar as these are necessary for the operation of the affiliate system. In the following, we inform users about the technical background.

The services offered by our contractual partners may also be advertised and linked on other websites (so-called affiliate links or after-buy systems if z.B. Links or services of third parties are offered after a contract has been concluded). The operators of the respective websites receive a commission if users follow the affiliate links and subsequently take advantage of the offers.

In summary, it is necessary for our online offer that we can track whether users who are interested in affiliate links and/or the offers available from us subsequently take up the offers at the instigation of the affiliate links or our online platform. For this purpose, the affiliate links and our offers are supplemented with certain values that are part of the link or otherwise, z.B. can be set in a cookie. The values include in particular the source website (referrer), time, an online identifier of the operator of the website on which the affiliate link was located, an online identifier of the respective offer, an online identifier of the user, as well as tracking-specific values such as z.B. Advertiser ID, Partner ID and categorisations.

The online user identifiers we use are pseudonymous values. D.h. the online identifiers do not themselves contain any personal data such as names or email addresses. They only help us to determine whether the same user who clicked on an affiliate link or became interested in an offer via our online offer took advantage of the offer, d.h. z.B. has concluded a contract with the provider. However, the online ID is personal to the extent that the partner company and also we have the online ID together with other user data. Only in this way can the partner company inform us whether the user has taken advantage of the offer and we can z.B. be able to pay out the bonus.

Data protection information in the application procedure

We only process the applicant data for the purpose of and within the scope of the application procedure in accordance with the legal requirements. Applicant data is processed to fulfil our (pre)contractual obligations within the scope of the application procedure in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. b. DSGVO Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO insofar as the data processing z.B. becomes necessary for us within the framework of legal procedures (in Germany, § 26 BDSG also applies).

The application procedure requires that applicants provide us with the applicant data. The necessary applicant data is marked if we offer an online form, otherwise it results from the job descriptions and basically includes personal details, postal and contact addresses and the documents belonging to the application, such as cover letter, CV and certificates. In addition, applicants can voluntarily provide us with additional information.

By submitting an application to us, applicants consent to the processing of their data for the purposes of the application process in the manner and to the extent set out in this privacy policy.

Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) DSGVO are voluntarily disclosed within the scope of the application procedure, their processing is additionally carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) lit. b DSGVO (z.B. Health data, such as z.B. Severely disabled status or ethnic origin). Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) DSGVO are requested from applicants as part of the application process, their processing is additionally carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) a DSGVO (z.B. Health data if these are necessary for the exercise of the profession).

If provided, applicants can submit their applications to us using an online form on our website. The data is transmitted to us in encrypted form in accordance with the state of the art.
Furthermore, applicants can send us their applications via e-mail. Please note, however, that e-mails are generally not encrypted and applicants must ensure that they are encrypted themselves. We therefore cannot assume any responsibility for the transmission path of the application between the sender and receipt on our server and therefore recommend rather using an online form or sending by post. This is because instead of applying via the online form and e-mail, applicants still have the option of sending us the application by post.

The data provided by applicants may, in the event of a successful application, be further processed by us for the purposes of the employment relationship. Otherwise, if the application for a vacancy is unsuccessful, the applicants' data will be deleted. Applicants' data will also be deleted if an application is withdrawn, which applicants are entitled to do at any time.

Subject to a justified revocation by the applicant, deletion takes place after the expiry of a period of six months so that we can answer any follow-up questions about the application and fulfil our obligations to provide evidence under the Equal Treatment Act. Invoices for any reimbursement of travel expenses will be archived in accordance with tax law requirements.

DSGVO. The IP addresses are anonymised or deleted after 7 days at the latest.

This is done for our security in case someone leaves unlawful content in comments and posts (insults, prohibited political propaganda, etc.). In this case, we ourselves can be prosecuted for the comment or post and are therefore interested in the identity of the author.

Furthermore, we reserve the right, on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO, to process the user's data for the purpose of spam detection.
