Our newsletters sent with CleverReach enable us to analyse the behaviour of newsletter recipients. Among other things, we can analyse how many recipients have opened the newsletter message and how often which link in the newsletter was clicked on. Conversion tracking can also be used to analyse whether a predefined action (e.g. purchase of a product on this website)
has taken place after clicking on the link in the newsletter. Further information on data analysis by CleverReach newsletters can be found at: https://www.cleverreach.com/en-de/newsletter-tool/newsletter-reporting/.

The data processing is carried out on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The lawfulness of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

If you do not want CleverReach to analyse your data, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter.

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

9. Audio and video conferencing

Data processing

We use online conferencing tools, among others, to communicate with our customers. The individual tools we use are listed below. If you communicate with us by video or audio conference via the Internet, your personal data will be collected and processed by us and the provider of the respective conferencing tool.

The conferencing tools collect all data that you provide/enter to use the tools (email address and/or your telephone number). The conferencing tools also process the duration of the conference, the start and end (time) of participation in the conference, the number of participants and other
“contextual information” related to the communication process (meta data).

Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes all technical data required for the processing of online communication. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or loudspeaker and the type of connection.

If content is exchanged, uploaded or provided in any other way within the tool, this is also stored on the servers of the tool provider. Such content in particular includes cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards and other information shared while using the service.

Please note that we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the tools used. Our options are largely determined by the company policy of the respective provider. More information on data processing by the conferencing tools can be found in the privacy policies of the tools used, which we have listed below this section.

Purpose and legal bases

The conferencing tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to offer certain services to our customers (Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR). Furthermore, the use of the tools serves the general simplification and acceleration of communication with us or our company (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR). If consent has been requested, the relevant tools are used on the basis of this consent; consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

Storage period

The data collected directly by us via the video and conferencing tools will be deleted from our systems as soon as you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage period of your data stored by the operators of the conferencing tools for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the conference tools directly.

10. Own services

Handling of job applicant data

We offer you the opportunity to send us job applications (e.g. by email, post or via the online application form). Below, we have put together some information about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure you that your data will be collected, processed and used in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated as strict confidential.

Scope and purpose of data collection

If you send us an application, we will process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide on the conclusion of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) under German law (Initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation) and - if you have given your consent - Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. 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) lit. b GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.

Retention period of application 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 the data you have submitted on the grounds of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application).

The data will then be erased and the physical application documents destroyed. The retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be still be needed after expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will only be erased after the purpose for further storage no longer applies.

Longer storage may also occur if you have given your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

Entry in the applicant pool

If we do not make you a job offer, there is the option of entering you in our applicant pool. If you are accepted, all documents and details from your application will be entered into the applicant pool in order to contact you in the event of suitable vacancies.

Entry in the applicant pool is based exclusively on your express consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR). Giving your consent is voluntary and in no way related to the current application process. The data subject can withdraw their consent at any time. In this case, the data will be irrevocably erased from the applicant pool, provided there are no legal grounds for retention.

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

The data transmitted as part of your application will be transferred via TLS encryption and stored in a database. This database is operated by Personio GmbH, which offers personnel administration and applicant management software (https://www.personio.com/legal-notice/). In this context, Personio is our processor in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. The basis for the processing is an order processing contract between us as the controller and Personio. 

Rights of data subjects

If personal data are processed by us as the controller, you as the data subject have certain rights under Chapter III of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), depending on the legal basis and purpose of the processing, in particular the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), the right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), the right to restriction of processing (Art. 20 GDPR) and the right to object (Art. 21 GDPR). If the processing of personal data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw this consent in accordance with Art. 7 III GDPR. To assert your rights as a data subject in relation to the data processed in this online application procedure, please contact our data protection officer.
