The term “personal data” comprises all data that can be used to perso­nally identify you. For detailed infor­mation about the subject matter of data protection, please consult our Data Protection Decla­ration, which we have included beneath this copy.

Data recording on this website

Who is the respon­sible party for the recording of data on this website (i.e., the “controller”)?

The data on this website is processed by the operator of the website, whose contact infor­mation is available under section “Infor­mation about the respon­sible party (referred to as the “controller” in the GDPR)” in this Privacy Policy.

How do we record your data?

We collect your data as a result of your sharing of your data with us. This may, for instance be infor­mation you enter into our contact form.

Other data shall be recorded by our IT systems automa­ti­cally or after you consent to its recording during your website visit. This data comprises primarily technical infor­mation (e.g., web browser, operating system, or time the site was accessed). This infor­mation is recorded automa­ti­cally when you access this website.

What are the purposes we use your data for?

A portion of the infor­mation is generated to guarantee the error free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyze your user patterns.

You also have the right to demand that your data are rectified or eradi­cated. If you have consented to data processing, you have the option to revoke this consent at any time, which shall affect all future data processing. Moreover, you have the right to demand that the processing of your data be restricted under certain circum­s­tances. Furthermore, you have the right to log a complaint with the competent super­vising agency.

Please do not hesitate to contact us at any time if you have questions about this or any other data protection related issues.

Data processing

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract mandated by data privacy laws that guarantees that they process personal data of our website visitors only based on our instruc­tions and in compliance with the GDPR.

3. General infor­mation and mandatory infor­mation

Data protection

The operators of this website and its pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Hence, we handle your personal data as confi­dential infor­mation and in compliance with the statutory data protection regula­tions and this Data Protection Decla­ration.

Whenever you use this website, a variety of personal infor­mation will be collected. Personal data comprises data that can be used to perso­nally identify you. This Data Protection Decla­ration explains which data we collect as well as the purposes we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which purpose the infor­mation is collected.

We herewith advise you that the trans­mission of data via the Internet (i.e., through e‑mail commu­ni­ca­tions) may be prone to security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data against third-party access.

Infor­mation about the respon­sible party (referred to as the “controller” in the GDPR)

The data processing controller on this website is:

Kuhse Power Solutions GmbH
An der Kleinbahn 39
21423 Winsen / Luhe

Phone: +49 4171 798 0
E‑mail: vertrieb(at)kuhse.de

The controller is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or jointly with others makes decisions as to the purposes of and resources for the processing of personal data (e.g., names, e‑mail addresses, etc.).

Storage duration

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permis­sible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

General infor­mation on the legal basis for the 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 according to Art. 9 (1) DSGVO. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to infor­mation in your end device (e.g., via device finger­printing), the data processing is additio­nally based on § 25 (1) TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the imple­men­tation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, if your data is required for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, we process it on the basis of Art. 6(1)© GDPR. Furthermore, the data processing may be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest according 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.

Designation of a data protection officer

We have appointed a data protection officer.

Tony Nobst
mobilplus Systemhaus GmbH
Am Wüsteberg 3
01723 Wilsdruff OT Kesselsdorf

Phone: +49 35204 270 350
E‑mail: datenschutzteam(at)mobilplus.it

Infor­mation on data transfer to the USA and other non-EU countries

Among other things, we use tools of companies domiciled in the United States or other from a data protection perspective non-secure non-EU countries. If these tools are active, your personal data may poten­tially be trans­ferred to these non-EU countries and may be processed there. We must point out that in these countries, a data protection level that is compa­rable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed. For instance, U.S. enter­prises are under a mandate to release personal data to the security agencies and you as the data subject do not have any litigation options to defend yourself in court. Hence, it cannot be ruled out that U.S. agencies (e.g., the Secret Service) may process, analyze, and perma­nently archive your personal data for surveil­lance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.

Revocation of your consent to the processing of data

A wide range of data processing transac­tions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct adver­tising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVI­SIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLA­RATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTIT­LE­MENTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVER­TISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVER­TISING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVER­TISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSE­QUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVER­TISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to log a complaint with the competent super­visory agency

In the event of viola­tions of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a super­visory agency, in parti­cular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other adminis­trative or court procee­dings available as legal recourses.

Right to data porta­bility

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

Infor­mation about, recti­fi­cation and eradi­cation of data

Within the scope of the appli­cable statutory provi­sions, you have the right to demand infor­mation about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data at any time. You may also have a right to have your data rectified or eradi­cated. If you have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.

Right to demand processing restric­tions

You have the right to demand the imposition of restric­tions as far as the processing of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time. The right to demand restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

• In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this inves­ti­gation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data instead of demanding the eradi­cation of this data.
• If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entit­le­ments, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its eradi­cation.
• If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been deter­mined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception of their archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entit­le­ments or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.

SSL and/or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the trans­mission of confi­dential content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.

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

Rejection of unsoli­cited e‑mails

We herewith object to the use of contact infor­mation published in conjunction with the mandatory infor­mation to be provided in our Site Notice to send us promo­tional and infor­mation material that we have not expressly requested. The operators of this website and its pages reserve the express right to take legal action in the event of the unsoli­cited sending of promo­tional infor­mation, for instance via SPAM messages.

4. Recording of data on this website

Cookies

Our websites and pages use what the industry refers to as “cookies.” Cookies are small data packages that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored tempo­r­arily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or they are perma­nently archived on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automa­ti­cally deleted once you terminate your visit. Permanent cookies remain archived on your device until you actively delete them, or they are automa­ti­cally eradi­cated by your web browser.

Cookies can be issued by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies into websites (e.g., cookies for handling payment services).

Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are techni­cally essential since certain website functions would not work in the absence of these cookies (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for promo­tional purposes.

Cookies, which are required for the perfor­mance of electronic commu­ni­cation transac­tions, for the provision of certain functions you want to use (e.g., for the shopping cart function) or those that are necessary for the optimization (required cookies) of the website (e.g., cookies that provide measurable insights into the web audience), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a different legal basis is cited. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the storage of required cookies to ensure the techni­cally error-free and optimized provision of the operator’s services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies and similar recognition techno­logies has been requested, the processing occurs exclu­sively on the basis of the consent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG); this consent may be revoked at any time.

You have the option to set up your browser in such a manner that you will be notified any time cookies are placed and to permit the accep­tance of cookies only in specific cases. You may also exclude the accep­tance of cookies in certain cases or in general or activate the delete-function for the automatic eradi­cation of cookies when the browser closes. If cookies are deacti­vated, the functions of this website may be limited.

Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

Server log files

The provider of this website and its pages automa­ti­cally collects and stores infor­mation in so-called server log files, which your browser commu­ni­cates to us automa­ti­cally. The infor­mation comprises:

• The type and version of browser used
• The used operating system
• Referrer URL
• The hostname of the accessing computer
• The time of the server inquiry
• The IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is recorded on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the techni­cally error free depiction and the optimization of the operator’s website. In order to achieve this, server log files must be recorded.

Contact form

If you submit inquiries to us via our contact form, the infor­mation provided in the contact form as well as any contact infor­mation provided therein will be stored by us in order to handle your inquiry and in the event that we have further questions. We will not share this infor­mation without your consent.

The processing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to the execution of a contract or if it is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your agreement (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The infor­mation you have entered into the contact form shall remain with us until you ask us to eradicate the data, revoke your consent to the archiving of data or if the purpose for which the infor­mation is being archived no longer exists (e.g., after we have concluded our response to your inquiry). This shall be without prejudice to any mandatory legal provi­sions, in parti­cular retention periods.

Request by e‑mail, telephone, or fax

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

These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is required for the perfor­mance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the data are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries submitted to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been obtained; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after completion of your request). Mandatory statutory provi­sions — in parti­cular statutory retention periods — remain unaffected.

5. Analysis tools and adver­tising

Matomo

This website uses the open-source web analysis service Matomo.

Through Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data on the use of our website-by-website visitors. This enables us to find out, for instance, when which page views occurred and from which region they came. In addition, we collect various log files (e.g. IP address, referrer, browser, and operating system used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. clicks, purchases, etc.).

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user patterns, in order to optimize the operator’s web offerings and adver­tising. If appro­priate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclu­sively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to infor­mation in the user’s end device (e.g., device finger­printing) within the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time.

IP anony­mization

For analysis with Matomo we use IP anony­mization. Your IP address is shortened before the analysis, so that it is no longer clearly assignable to you.

Hosting

We host Matomo exclu­sively on our own servers so that all analysis data remains with us and is not passed on.

6. Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e‑mail address from you as well as infor­mation that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e‑mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected or only on a voluntary basis. For the handling of the newsletter, we use newsletter service providers, which are described below.

Rapidmail

This website uses Rapidmail for the sending of newsletters. The provider is the rapidmail GmbH, Augus­ti­ner­platz 2, 79098 Freiburg i.Br., Germany.

Rapidmail services can, among other things, be used to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter are archived on Rapidmail servers in Germany.

Data analysis by Rapidmail

For analy­tical purposes, e‑mails sent via Rapidmail are tagged with a so-called “Tracking Pixel”, which connects to Rapidmail’s servers once the e‑mail is opened. As a result, it is possible to determine whether a newsletter e‑mail was actually opened.

With the assis­tance of Rapidmail we are also able to determine whether and which links in the newsletter message the recipient clicked. All links integrated into the e‑mail are so-called Tracking Links that enable us to count your clicks. If you do not want to permit an analysis by Rapidmail, you must unsub­scribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for you to do this in every newsletter message. Moreover, you can also unsub­scribe from the newsletter right on the website.

For more details on the Rapidmail analysis functions, please follow this link: https://de.rapidmail.wiki/kategorien/statistiken/.

Legal basis

The data is processed based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke any consent you have given at any time by unsub­scribing from the newsletter. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data processing transac­tions that have taken place prior to your revocation.

Storage period

The data deposited with us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsub­scribe from the newsletter or the newsletter service provider and deleted from the newsletter distri­bution list after you unsub­scribe from the newsletter. Data stored for other purposes with us remain unaffected.

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

For more details, please consult the Data Protection Regula­tions of Rapidmail at: https://www.rapidmail.de/datensicherheit.

Data processing

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract mandated by data privacy laws that guarantees that they process personal data of our website visitors only based on our instruc­tions and in compliance with the GDPR.

7. Plug-ins and Tools

YouTube with expanded data protection integration

Our website embeds videos of the website YouTube. The website operator is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in the expanded data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store any infor­mation about visitors to this website before they watch the video. Nevert­heless, this does not neces­s­arily mean that the sharing of data with YouTube partners can be ruled out as a result of the expanded data protection mode. For instance, regardless of whether you are watching a video, YouTube will always establish a connection with the Google Double­Click network.

As soon as you start to play a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers will be estab­lished. As a result, the YouTube server will be notified, which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account while you visit our site, you enable YouTube to directly allocate your browsing patterns to your personal profile. You have the option to prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, after you have started to play a video, YouTube will be able to place various cookies on your device or compa­rable techno­logies for recognition (e.g. device finger­printing). In this way YouTube will be able to obtain infor­mation about this website’s visitors. Among other things, this infor­mation will be used to generate video statistics with the aim of improving the user friend­liness of the site and to prevent attempts to commit fraud.

Under certain circum­s­tances, additional data processing transac­tions may be triggered after you have started to play a YouTube video, which are beyond our control.

The use of YouTube is based on our interest in presenting our online content in an appealing manner. Pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, this is a legitimate interest. If appro­priate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclu­sively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to infor­mation in the user’s end device (e.g., device finger­printing) within the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time.

For more infor­mation on how YouTube handles user data, please consult the YouTube Data Privacy Policy under: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

Google Maps

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

To enable the use of the Google Maps features, your IP address must be stored. As a rule, this infor­mation is trans­ferred to one of Google’s servers in the United States, where it is archived. The operator of this website has no control over the data transfer. In case Google Maps has been activated, Google has the option to use Google Fonts for the purpose of the uniform depiction of fonts. When you access Google Maps, your browser will load the required web fonts into your browser cache, to correctly display text and fonts.

We use Google Maps to present our online content in an appealing manner and to make the locations disclosed on our website easy to find. This consti­tutes a legitimate interest as defined in Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If appro­priate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclu­sively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to infor­mation in the user’s end device (e.g., device finger­printing) within the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time.

Data trans­mission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/ and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/sccs/.

For more infor­mation on the handling of user data, please review Google’s Data Privacy Decla­ration under: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

8. eCommerce and payment service providers

Processing of Customer and Contract Data

We collect, process, and use personal customer and contract data for the estab­lishment, content arran­gement and modifi­cation of our contractual relati­onships. Data with personal references to the use of this website (usage data) will be collected, processed, and used only if this is necessary to enable the user to use our services or required for billing purposes. The legal basis for these processes is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

The collected customer data shall be deleted upon completion of the order or termi­nation of the business relati­onship and upon expiration of any existing statutory archiving periods. This shall be without prejudice to any statutory archiving periods.

Data transfer upon closing of contracts for online stores, retailers, and the shipment of merchandise

Whenever you order merchandise from us, we will share your personal data with the trans­por­tation company entrusted with the delivery as well as the payment service commis­sioned to handle the payment transac­tions. Only the data these respective service providers require to meet their obliga­tions will be shared. The legal basis for this sharing is Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of contractual or pre-contractual obliga­tions. If you give us your respective consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR, we will share your email address with the trans­por­tation company entrusted with the delivery so that this company can notify you on the shipping status for your order via email. You have the option to revoke your consent at any time.

Credit checks

We may conduct a credit check in the event that purchases are made on account or based on other payment terms that require us to extend credit (scoring). For this purpose, we transmit the data you have entered (e.g., name, address, age, or banking infor­mation) to a credit infor­mation agency. Based on this data, the proba­bility of non-payment is deter­mined. If the likelihood of non-payment is excessive, we may reject the respective payment term.

The credit check is performed on the basis of contractual fulfillment (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and to avert non-payment (justified interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If consent has been obtained, the credit check shall be performed on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR); the consent may be revoked at any time.

9. Custom Services

Handling applicant data

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 BDSG according to German Law (Negotiation of an Employment Relati­onship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (General Contract Negotia­tions) and – provided you have given us your consent – Art. 6(1)(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 your job appli­cation should result in your recruitment, the data you have submitted will be archived on the grounds of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of imple­menting the employment relati­onship in our data processing system.

Data Archiving Period

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(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 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 6‑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.

Admission to the applicant pool

If we do not make you a job offer, you may be able to join our applicant pool. In case of admission, all documents and infor­mation from the appli­cation will be trans­ferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you in case of suitable vacancies.

Admission to the applicant pool is based exclu­sively on your express agreement (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). The submission agreement is voluntary and has no relation to the ongoing appli­cation procedure. The affected person can revoke his agreement at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevo­cably deleted, provided there are no legal reasons for storage.

The data from the applicant pool will be irrevo­cably deleted no later than two years after consent has been granted.
