Privacy policy
Protecting your personal data is a central concern of the HOMAG Group.
We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the HOMAG Group AG. The use of the Internet pages of the HOMAG Group AG is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the HOMAG Group AG. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, the HOMAG Group AG has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.
With the following privacy policy we would like to inform you which types of your personal data (hereinafter also abbreviated as "data") we process for which purposes and in which scope. The privacy statement applies to all processing of personal data carried out by us, both in the context of providing our services and in particular on our websites, in mobile applications and within external online presences, such as our social media profiles (hereinafter collectively referred to as "online services").
The terms used are not gender-specific.

Relevant legal bases
Relevant legal bases according to the GDPR: In the following, you will find an overview of the legal basis of the GDPR on which we base the processing of personal data. Please note that in addition to the provisions of the GDPR, national data protection provisions of your or our country of residence or domicile may apply. If, in addition, more specific legal bases are applicable in individual cases, we will inform you of these in the data protection declaration.
- Consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR) - The data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes.
- Performance of a contract and prior requests (Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR) - Performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
- Compliance with a legal obligation (Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR) - Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
- Legitimate Interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR) - the processing is necessary for the protection of the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject, which require the protection of personal data, do not prevail.
- Job application process as a pre-contractual or contractual relationship (Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR) - If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9 (1) GDPR (e.g. health data, such as severely handicapped status or ethnic origin) are requested from applicants within the framework of the application procedure, so that the responsible person or the person concerned can carry out the obligations and exercising specific rights of the controller or of the data subject in the field of employment and social security and social protection law, their processing shall be carried out in accordance with Article 9 (2)(b) GDPR , in the case of the protection of vital interests of applicants or other persons on the basis of Article 9 (2)(c) GDPR or for the purposes of preventive health care or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the employee's ability to work, for medical diagnostics, care or treatment in the health or social sector or for the administration of systems and services in the health or social sector in accordance with Article 9 (2)(d) GDPR. In the case of a communication of special categories of data based on voluntary consent, their processing is carried out on the basis of Article 9 (2)(a) GDPR.
National data protection regulations in Germany: In addition to the data protection regulations of the GDPR, national regulations apply to data protection in Germany. This includes in particular the Law on Protection against Misuse of Personal Data in Data Processing (Federal Data Protection Act - BDSG). In particular, the BDSG contains special provisions on the right to access, the right to erase, the right to object, the processing of special categories of personal data, processing for other purposes and transmission as well as automated individual decision-making, including profiling. Furthermore, data protection laws of the individual federal states may apply.
Reference to the applicability of the GDPR and the Swiss DPA: These privacy policy serves both to provide information pursuant to the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For this reason, we ask you to note that due to the broader spatial application and comprehensibility, the terms used in the GDPR are applied. In particular, instead of the terms used in the Swiss FADP such as "processing" of "personal data", "predominant interest", and "particularly sensitive personal data", the terms used in the GDPR, namely "processing" of "personal data", as well as "legitimate interest" and "special categories of data" are used. However, the legal meaning of these terms will continue to be determined according to the Swiss FADP within its scope of application.
Drittland (außerhalb der EU und der Schweiz): The data protection regulations in the country of the controller's registered office apply in addition to or alongside the GDPR. These regulations may contain specific provisions that go beyond or differ from the requirements of the GDPR. This includes, among other things, rules on protection against misuse of personal data, regulations on rights of access and erasure, rights to object, processing of special categories of personal data, processing for other purposes, transfer and automated decision-making including profiling. The respective national data protection laws and regulations of the corresponding third country must be observed and can influence the processing of personal data. It is important to be informed about the specific data protection regulations of the respective third country to ensure that all data protection requirements are met.
Security Precautions
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures in accordance with the legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, in order to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.
The measures include, in particular, safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as access to, input, transmission, securing and separation of the data. In addition, we have established procedures to ensure that data subjects' rights are respected, that data is erased, and that we are prepared to respond to data threats rapidly. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account as early as the development or selection of hardware, software and service providers, in accordance with the principle of privacy by design and privacy by default.
Masking of the IP address: If IP addresses are processed by us or by the service providers and technologies used and the processing of a complete IP address is not necessary, the IP address is shortened (also referred to as "IP masking"). In this process, the last two digits or the last part of the IP address after a full stop are removed or replaced by wildcards. The masking of the IP address is intended to prevent the identification of a person by means of their IP address or to make such identification significantly more difficult.
Securing online connections through TLS/SSL encryption technology (HTTPS): To protect the data of users transmitted via our online services from unauthorized access, we employ TLS/SSL encryption technology. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) are the cornerstones of secure data transmission on the internet. These technologies encrypt the information that is transferred between the website or app and the user's browser (or between two servers), thereby safeguarding the data from unauthorized access. TLS, as the more advanced and secure version of SSL, ensures that all data transmissions conform to the highest security standards. When a website is secured with an SSL/TLS certificate, this is indicated by the display of HTTPS in the URL. This serves as an indicator to users that their data is being securely and encryptedly transmitted.
Transmission of Personal Data
In the course of processing personal data, it may happen that this data is transmitted to or disclosed to other entities, companies, legally independent organizational units, or individuals. Recipients of this data may include service providers tasked with IT duties or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we observe the legal requirements and particularly conclude relevant contracts or agreements that serve to protect your data with the recipients of your data.
Data Transmission within the Group of Companies: Data transfer within the corporate group: We may transfer personal data to other companies within our corporate group or grant them access to it. This data sharing is based on our legitimate business and economic interests. By this, we mean, for example, the improvement of business processes, ensuring efficient and effective internal communication, the optimal use of our human and technological resources, as well as the ability to make informed business decisions. In certain cases, data sharing may also be necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations or may be based on the consent of the data subjects or a legal permission.
Joint CRM system that we operate as Joint Controller
The companies of the Dürr Group - which include the HOMAG Group - operate a joint customer database (CRM system) and to this extent act as Joint Controllers within the meaning of Art. 26 DSGVO (also referred to as Joint Controllers).
You can view the companies of the Dürr Group here https://www.durr-group.com/fileadmin/durr-group.com/Home/duerr-privacy-notice.pdf. In principle, the data is stored for as long as is necessary for the purpose of collection or required by law, or if we have a legitimate interest in storing it, for example legal enforcement.
If this involves transferring data to Dürr companies outside the EEA, we rely on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. We also refer to the explanations on "Data Processing in Third Countries".
The CRM system is provided by Salesforce. The storage location is the EU. A transfer of data to companies of the Salesforce Group outside the EEA is not excluded (see details on Salesforce below).
Internally, we have distributed responsibilities in a contract as follows: Data subjects can contact all jointly responsible parties to exercise data subject rights (see details on data subject rights under "Data subject rights").
The Dürr Group company to which you have provided your data will nevertheless act as your first point of contact. Responsible for the information obligations under Art. 13 f. DSGVO is Dürr Systems AG, which is the lead operator of the CRM system. The jointly responsible parties are responsible for fulfilling the required notification obligations and maintaining documentation within the scope of their area of activity, for obligating employees to confidentiality and informing them of their obligations under data protection law, and for ensuring technical and organizational security in data processing.

International data transfers
Data Processing in Third Countries: If we transfer data to a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)), or if this occurs in the context of using third-party services or the disclosure or transfer of data to other individuals, entities, or companies (which becomes apparent either from the postal address of the respective provider or when explicitly mentioned in the privacy policy regarding data transfer to third countries), this is always done in accordance with legal requirements.
For data transfers to the USA, we primarily rely on the Data Privacy Framework (DPF), which has been recognized as a secure legal framework by the EU Commission's adequacy decision of July 10, 2023. Additionally, we have concluded Standard Contractual Clauses with the respective providers, which comply with the EU Commission's requirements and establish contractual obligations to protect your data.
This dual safeguard ensures comprehensive protection of your data: The DPF serves as the primary level of protection, while the Standard Contractual Clauses act as an additional security measure. Should any changes occur within the DPF framework, the Standard Contractual Clauses will serve as a reliable fallback option. This ensures that your data remains adequately protected even in the event of political or legal changes.
For individual service providers, we will inform you whether they are certified under the DPF and if Standard Contractual Clauses are in place. The list of certified companies and further information about the DPF can be found on the U.S. Department of Commerce's website at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/.
For data transfers to other third countries, appropriate safeguards apply, particularly Standard Contractual Clauses, explicit consent, or legally required transfers. Information on third-country transfers and applicable adequacy decisions can be found in the information provided by the EU Commission: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_en.
We will inform you which of our service providers are certified under the Data Privacy Framework as part of our data protection notices.
General Information on Data Retention and Deletion
We delete personal data that we process in accordance with legal regulations as soon as the underlying consents are revoked or no further legal bases for processing exist. This applies to cases where the original purpose of processing is no longer applicable or the data is no longer needed. Exceptions to this rule exist if statutory obligations or special interests require a longer retention or archiving of the data.
In particular, data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons, or whose storage is necessary for legal prosecution or protection of the rights of other natural or legal persons, must be archived accordingly.
Our privacy notices contain additional information on the retention and deletion of data specifically applicable to certain processing processes.
In cases where multiple retention periods or deletion deadlines for a date are specified, the longest period always prevails.
If a period does not expressly start on a specific date and lasts at least one year, it automatically begins at the end of the calendar year in which the event triggering the period occurred. In the case of ongoing contractual relationships in the context of which data is stored, the event triggering the deadline is the time at which the termination or other termination of the legal relationship takes effect.
Data that is no longer stored for its originally intended purpose but due to legal requirements or other reasons are processed exclusively for the reasons justifying their retention.
Further information on processing methods, procedures and services used:
- Data Retention and Deletion: The following general deadlines apply for the retention and archiving according to German law:
- 10 Years - Fiscal Code/Commercial Code - Retention period for books and records, annual financial statements, inventories, management reports, opening balance sheet as well as the necessary work instructions and other organisational documents (Section 147 Paragraph 1 No. 1 in conjunction with Paragraph 3 of the German General Tax Code (AO), Section 14b Paragraph 1 of the German VAT Act (UStG), Section 257 Paragraph 1 No. 1 in conjunction with Paragraph 4 of the German Commercial Code (HGB)).

- 6 Years - Other business documents: received commercial or business letters, copies of dispatched commercial or business letters, and other documents to the extent that they are significant for taxation purposes, for example, hourly wage slips, operating accounting sheets, calculation documents, price tags, as well as payroll accounting documents, provided they are not already accounting vouchers and cash register tapes Section (Section 147 Paragraph 1 No. 2, 3, 5 in conjunction with Paragraph 3 of the German General Tax Code (AO), Section 257 Paragraph 1 No. 2 and 3 in conjunction with Paragraph 4 of the German Commercial Code (HGB)).
- 3 Years - Data required to consider potential warranty and compensation claims or similar contractual claims and rights, as well as to process related inquiries, based on previous business experiences and common industry practices, will be stored for the duration of the regular statutory limitation period of three years. This period begins at the end of the year in which the relevant contractual transaction took place or the contractual relationship ended in the case of ongoing contracts (Sections 195, 199 of the German Civil Code).

Use of Cookies
The term "cookies" refers to functions that store information on users' devices and read it from them. Cookies can also be used for different purposes, such as ensuring the functionality, security, and convenience of online services, as well as analyzing visitor traffic. We use cookies in accordance with legal regulations. If necessary, we obtain users' consent in advance. If consent is not required, we rely on our legitimate interests. This applies when storing and reading information is essential to provide explicitly requested content and functions. This includes, for example, saving settings and ensuring the functionality and security of our online services. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Further information on processing methods, procedures and services used:
- Processing Cookie Data on the Basis of Consent: We implement a consent management solution that obtains users' consent for the use of cookies or for the processes and providers mentioned within the consent management framework. This procedure is designed to solicit, log, manage, and revoke consents, particularly regarding the use of cookies and similar technologies employed to store, read from, and process information on users' devices. As part of this procedure, user consents are obtained for the use of cookies and the associated processing of information, including specific processing and providers named in the consent management process. Users also have the option to manage and withdraw their consents. Consent declarations are stored to avoid repeated queries and to provide proof of consent according to legal requirements. The storage is carried out server-side and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie) or by means of comparable technologies in order to associate the consent with a specific user or their device.If no specific details about the providers of consent management services are provided, the following general notes apply: The duration of consent storage is up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created, which is stored along with the time of consent, details on the scope of consent (e.g., relevant categories of cookies and/or service providers), as well as information about the browser, system, and device used; Legal Basis: Consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

Provision of online services and web hosting
In order to provide our online services securely and efficiently, we use the services of one or more web hosting providers from whose servers (or servers they manage) the online services can be accessed. For these purposes, we may use infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, as well as security and technical maintenance services.
The data processed within the framework of the provision of the hosting services may include all information relating to the users of our online services that is collected in the course of use and communication. This regularly includes the IP address, which is necessary to be able to deliver the contents of online services to browsers, and all entries made within our online services or from websites.
- Processed data types: Content data (e.g. text input, photographs, videos); Usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times); Meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses).

For these purposes, the addresses of the recipients and senders, as well as other information relating to the sending of e-mails (e.g. the providers involved) and the contents of the respective e-mails are processed. The above data may also be processed for SPAM detection purposes. Please note that e-mails on the Internet are generally not sent in encrypted form. As a rule, e-mails are encrypted during transport, but not on the servers from which they are sent and received (unless a so-called end-to-end encryption method is used). We can therefore accept no responsibility for the transmission path of e-mails between the sender and reception on our server.
- Collection of Access Data and Log Files: We, ourselves or our web hosting provider, collect data on the basis of each access to the server (so-called server log files). Server log files may include the address and name of the web pages and files accessed, the date and time of access, data volumes transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page) and, as a general rule, IP addresses and the requesting provider. The server log files can be used for security purposes, e.g. to avoid overloading the servers (especially in the case of abusive attacks, so-called DDoS attacks) and to ensure the stability and optimal load balancing of the servers; Retention period: Log file information is stored for a maximum period of 30 days and then deleted or anonymized. Data, the further storage of which is necessary for evidence purposes, are excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.

User names will be deleted or pseudonymised if they were not already pseudonyms.Users can request the complete deletion of their posts at any time.
- Protection of own data: Users decide for themselves what data they disclose about themselves within our online services. For example, when users provide personal information or participate in conversations. We ask users to protect their data and to publish personal data only with caution and only to the extent necessary. In particular, we ask users to note that they must protect their login credentials in particular and use secure passwords (preferably long and random combinations of characters).
Single Sign-on Authentication
Single Sign-On" or "Single Sign-On Authentication or Logon" are procedures that allow users to log in to our online services using a user account with a provider of Single Sign-On services (e.g. a social network). The prerequisite for Single Sign-On Authentication is that users are registered with the respective Single Sign-On provider and enter the required access data in the online form provided for this purpose, or are already logged in with the Single Sign-On provider and confirm the Single Sign-On login via the button.
Authentication takes place directly with the respective single sign-on provider. Within the scope of such authentication, we receive a user ID with the information that the user is logged in with the respective single sign-on provider under this user ID and an ID that cannot be used for other purposes (so-called "user handle"). Whether we receive further data depends solely on the single sign-on procedure used, the data releases selected as part of authentication and also which data users have released in the privacy or other settings of the user account with the single sign-on provider. Depending on the single sign-on provider and the user's choice, there can be different data, usually the e-mail address and the user name. The password entered by the single sign-on provider as part of the single sign-on procedure is neither visible to us nor is it stored by us.
Users are requested to note that their data stored with us can be automatically compared with their user account with the single sign-on provider, but this is not always possible or actual. If, for example, the e-mail addresses of users change, users must change these manually in their user account with us.
We can use single sign-on authentication, provided that it has been agreed with users in the context of pre-fulfillment or fulfilment of the contract, in the context of consent processing and otherwise use it on the basis of our legitimate interests and the interests of users in an effective and secure authentication system.
Should users decide to no longer want to use the link of their user account with the Single Sign-On provider for the Single Sign-On procedure, they must remove this link within their user account with the Single Sign-On provider. If users wish to delete their data from us, they must cancel their registration with us.

Communication via Messenger
We use messenger services for communication purposes and therefore ask you to observe the following information regarding the functionality of the messenger services, encryption, use of the metadata of the communication and your objection options.
You can also contact us by alternative means, e.g. telephone or e-mail. Please use the contact options provided to you or use the contact options provided within our online services.
In the case of encryption of content (i.e. the content of your message and attachments), we point out that the communication content (i.e. the content of the message and attachments) is encrypted end-to-end. This means that the content of the messages is not visible, not even by the messenger service providers themselves. You should always use a current version of the messenger service with activated encryption, so that the encryption of the message contents is guaranteed.
However, we would like to point out to our communication partners that although messenger service providers do not see the content, they can find out that and when communication partners communicate with us and process technical information on the communication partner's device used and, depending on the settings of their device, also location information (so-called metadata).
Information on Legal basis: If we ask communication partners for permission before communicating with them via messenger services, the legal basis of our processing of their data is their consent. Otherwise, if we do not request consent and you contact us, for example, voluntarily, we use messenger services in our dealings with our contractual partners and as part of the contract initiation process as a contractual measure and in the case of other interested parties and communication partners on the basis of our legitimate interests in fast and efficient communication and meeting the needs of our communication partners for communication via messenger services. We would also like to point out that we do not transmit the contact data provided to us to the messenger service providers for the first time without your consent.
Withdrawal, objection and deletion: You can withdraw your consent or object to communication with us via messenger services at any time. In the case of communication via messenger services, we delete the messages in accordance with our general data retention policy (i.e. as described above after the end of contractual relationships, archiving requirements, etc.) and otherwise as soon as we can assume that we have answered any information provided by the communication partners, if no reference to a previous conversation is to be expected and there are no legal obligations to store the messages to prevent their deletion.
Reservation of reference to other means of communication: Finally, we would like to point out that we reserve the right, for reasons of your safety, not to answer inquiries about messenger services. This is the case if, for example, internal contractual matters require special secrecy or if an answer via the messenger services does not meet the formal requirements. In such cases we refer you to more appropriate communication channels.

Video Conferences, Online Meetings, Webinars and Screen-Sharing
We use platforms and applications of other providers (hereinafter referred to as "Conference Platforms") for the purpose of conducting video and audio conferences, webinars and other types of video and audio meetings (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Conference"). When using the Conference Platforms and their services, we comply with the legal requirements.
Data processed by Conference Platforms: In the course of participation in a Conference, the Data of the participants listed below are processed. The scope of the processing depends, on the one hand, on which data is requested in the context of a specific Conference (e.g., provision of access data or clear names) and which optional information is provided by the participants. In addition to processing for the purpose of conducting the conference, participants' Data may also be processed by the Conference Platforms for security purposes or service optimization. The processed Date includes personal information (first name, last name), contact information (e-mail address, telephone number), access data (access codes or passwords), profile pictures, information on professional position/function, the IP address of the internet access, information on the participants' end devices, their operating system, the browser and its technical and linguistic settings, information on the content-related communication processes, i.e. entries in chats and audio and video data, as well as the use of other available functions (e.g. surveys). The content of communications is encrypted to the extent technically provided by the conference providers. If participants are registered as users with the Conference Platforms, then further data may be processed in accordance with the agreement with the respective Conference Provider.
Logging and recording: If text entries, participation results (e.g. from surveys) as well as video or audio recordings are recorded, this will be transparently communicated to the participants in advance and they will be asked - if necessary - for their consent.
Data protection measures of the participants: Please refer to the data privacy information of the Conference Platforms for details on the processing of your data and select the optimum security and data privacy settings for you within the framework of the settings of the conference platforms. Furthermore, please ensure data and privacy protection in the background of your recording for the duration of a Conference (e.g., by notifying roommates, locking doors, and using the background masking function, if technically possible). Links to the conference rooms as well as access data, should not be passed on to unauthorized third parties.
Notes on legal bases: Insofar as, in addition to the Conference Platforms, we also process users' data and ask users for their consent to use contents from the Conferences or certain functions (e.g. consent to a recording of Conferences), the legal basis of the processing is this consent. Furthermore, our processing may be necessary for the fulfillment of our contractual obligations (e.g. in participant lists, in the case of reprocessing of Conference results, etc.). Otherwise, user data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests in efficient and secure communication with our communication partners.

Job Application Process
The application process requires applicants to provide us with the data necessary for their assessment and selection. The information required can be found in the job description or, in the case of online forms, in the information contained therein.
In principle, the required information includes personal information such as name, address, a contact option and proof of the qualifications required for a particular employment. Upon request, we will be happy to provide you with additional information.
If made available, applicants can submit their applications via an online form. The data will be transmitted to us encrypted according to the state of the art. Applicants can also send us their applications by e-mail. Please note, however, that e-mails on the Internet are generally not sent in encrypted form. As a rule, e-mails are encrypted during transport, but not on the servers from which they are sent and received. We can therefore accept no responsibility for the transmission path of the application between the sender and the reception on our server. For the purposes of searching for applicants, submitting applications and selecting applicants, we may make use of the applicant management and recruitment software, platforms and services of third-party providers in compliance with legal requirements. Applicants are welcome to contact us about how to submit their application or send it to us by regular mail.
Processing of special categories of data: To the extent that special categories of personal data (Article 9(1) GDPR, e.g., health data, such as disability status or ethnic origin) are requested from applicants during the application process, their processing is carried out so that the controller or the data subject can exercise rights arising from employment law and the law of social security and social protection, in the case of protection of vital interests of the applicants or other persons, or for purposes of preventive or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the employee's work ability, for medical diagnosis, for the provision or treatment in the health or social sector, or for the management of systems and services in the health or social sector.
Ereasure of data: In the event of a successful application, the data provided by the applicants may be further processed by us for the purposes of the employment relationship. Otherwise, if the application for a job offer is not successful, the applicant's data will be deleted. Applicants' data will also be deleted if an application is withdrawn, to which applicants are entitled at any time. Subject to a justified revocation by the applicant, the deletion will take place at the latest after the expiry of a period of six months, so that we can answer any follow-up questions regarding the application and comply with our duty of proof under the regulations on equal treatment of applicants. Invoices for any reimbursement of travel expenses are archived in accordance with tax regulations.
Admission to a talent pool - Admission to a talent pool, if offered, is based on consent. Applicants are informed that their consent to be included in the talent pool is voluntary, has no influence on the current application process and that they can revoke their consent at any time for the future.

Newsletter and Electronic Communications
We send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic communications (hereinafter referred to as "newsletters") only with the consent of the recipient or a legal permission. Insofar as the contents of the newsletter are specifically described within the framework of registration, they are decisive for the consent of the user. Otherwise, our newsletters contain information about our services and us.
In order to subscribe to our newsletters, it is generally sufficient to enter your e-mail address. We may, however, ask you to provide a name for the purpose of contacting you personally in the newsletter or to provide further information if this is required for the purposes of the newsletter.
Double opt-in procedure: The registration to our newsletter takes place in general in a so-called Double-Opt-In procedure. This means that you will receive an e-mail after registration asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can register with external e-mail addresses.
The registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes storing the login and confirmation times as well as the IP address. Likewise the changes of your data stored with the dispatch service provider are logged.
Deletion and restriction of processing: We may store the unsubscribed email addresses for up to three years based on our legitimate interests before deleting them to provide evidence of prior consent. The processing of these data is limited to the purpose of a possible defense against claims. An individual deletion request is possible at any time, provided that the former existence of a consent is confirmed at the same time. In the case of an obligation to permanently observe an objection, we reserve the right to store the e-mail address solely for this purpose in a blocklist.
Information on legal bases: The sending of the newsletter is based on the consent of the recipients or, if consent is not required, on the basis of our legitimate interests in direct marketing. Insofar as we engage a service provider for sending e-mails, this is done on the basis of our legitimate interests in efficient and secure dispatch. The registration procedure is recorded on the basis of our legitimate interests for the purpose of demonstrating that it has been conducted in accordance with the law.

- Measurement of opening rates and click rates: The newsletters contain a so-called "web-beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file, which is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened or, if we use a mailing service provider, from its server. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval are first collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of our newsletter on the basis of technical data or target groups and their reading behaviour on the basis of their retrieval points (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or access times. This analysis also includes determining whether newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. This information is assigned to the individual newsletter recipients and stored in their profiles until the profiles are deleted. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users. The measurement of opening rates and click rates as well as the storage of the measurement results in the profiles of the users and their further processing are based on the consent of the users. A separate objection to the performance measurement is unfortunately not possible, in this case the entire newsletter subscription must be cancelled or objected to. In this case, the stored profile information will be deleted.

Web Analysis, Monitoring and Optimization
Web analytics (also referred to as "reach measurement") is used to evaluate the visitor flows of our online services and may include pseudonymous values related to visitor behavior, interests, or demographic information such as age or gender. Through reach analysis, we can, for example, identify when our online services or their functions and content are most frequently used or likely to encourage repeat visits. It also enables us to determine which areas need optimization.
In addition to web analytics, we may also use testing procedures to test and optimize different versions of our online services or their components.

The data collected includes, in particular, visited websites and elements used on them, as well as technical information such as the browser used, the computer system, and information about usage times. If users have given consent to the collection of their location data to us or to the providers of the services we use, the processing of location data is also possible.
Additionally, users' IP addresses are stored. However, we use an IP masking process (i.e., pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) to protect users. In general, no clear user data (such as email addresses or names) is stored as part of web analytics, A/B testing, or optimization. Instead, pseudonyms are used. This means that neither we nor the providers of the software used know the actual identity of the users, only the information stored in their profiles for the respective procedures.

Online Marketing
We process personal data for the purposes of online marketing, which may include in particular the marketing of advertising space or the display of advertising and other content (collectively referred to as "Content") based on the potential interests of users and the measurement of their effectiveness.
For these purposes, so-called user profiles are created and stored in a file (so-called "cookie") or similar procedure is used by which the relevant user information for the display of the aforementioned content is stored. This information may include, for example, content viewed, websites visited, online networks used, communication partners and technical information such as the browser used, computer system used and information on usage times and used functions. If users have consented to the collection of their sideline data, these can also be processed.
The IP addresses of the users are also stored. However, we use provided IP masking procedures (i.e. pseudonymisation by shortening the IP address) to ensure the protection of the user's by using a pseudonym. In general, within the framework of the online marketing process, no clear user data (such as e-mail addresses or names) is secured, but pseudonyms. This means that we, as well as the providers of online marketing procedures, do not know the actual identity of the users, but only the information stored in their profiles.
The information in the profiles is usually stored in the cookies or similar memorizing procedures. These cookies can later, generally also on other websites that use the same online marketing technology, be read and analyzed for purposes of content display, as well as supplemented with other data and stored on the server of the online marketing technology provider.
Exceptionally, clear data can be assigned to the profiles. This is the case, for example, if the users are members of a social network whose online marketing technology we use and the network links the profiles of the users in the aforementioned data. Please note that users may enter into additional agreements with the social network providers or other service providers, e.g. by consenting as part of a registration process.
As a matter of principle, we only gain access to summarised information about the performance of our advertisements. However, within the framework of so-called conversion measurement, we can check which of our online marketing processes have led to a so-called conversion, i.e. to the conclusion of a contract with us. The conversion measurement is used alone for the performance analysis of our marketing activities.
Unless otherwise stated, we kindly ask you to consider that cookies used will be stored for a period of two years.

Profiles in Social Networks (Social Media)
We maintain online presences within social networks and process user data in this context in order to communicate with the users active there or to offer information about us.
We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may entail risks for users, e.g. by making it more difficult to enforce users' rights.
In addition, user data is usually processed within social networks for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created on the basis of user behaviour and the associated interests of users. The user profiles can then be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the networks which are presumed to correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the user's computer, in which the user's usage behaviour and interests are stored. Furthermore, data can be stored in the user profiles independently of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective networks or will become members later on).
For a detailed description of the respective processing operations and the opt-out options, please refer to the respective data protection declarations and information provided by the providers of the respective networks.
Also in the case of requests for information and the exercise of rights of data subjects, we point out that these can be most effectively pursued with the providers. Only the providers have access to the data of the users and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. If you still need help, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Terminology and Definitions
This section provides an overview of the terms used in this privacy policy. Many of the terms are drawn from the law and defined mainly in Article 4 GDPR. The legal definitions are binding. The following explanations, on the other hand, are intended above all for the purpose of comprehension. The terms are sorted alphabetically.
- Affiliate Tracking: Custom Audiences refers to the process of determining target groups for advertising purposes, e.g. the display of advertisements. For example, a user's interest in certain products or topics on the Internet may be used to conclude that the user is interested in advertisements for similar products or the online store in which the user viewed the products. "Lookalike Audiences" is the term used to describe content that is viewed as suitable by users whose profiles or interests presumably correspond to the users for whom the profiles were created. For the purposes of creating custom audiences and lookalike audiences, cookies and web beacons are typically used.
- Controller: "Controller" means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
- Conversion tracking: Conversion tracking is a method used to evaluate the effectiveness of marketing measures. For this purpose, a cookie is usually stored on the devices of the users within the websites on which the marketing measures take place and then called up again on the target website (e.g. we can thus trace whether the advertisements placed by us on other websites were successful).
- Credit report: Automated decisions are based on automatic data processing without human intervention (e.g. in the case of an automatic rejection of a purchase on account, an online credit application or an online application procedure without any human intervention). Such automated decisions are only allowed under Article 22 GDPR if data subjects consent, if they are necessary for the performance of a contract or if national laws allow such decisions.
- Custom Audiences: Target group formation (or "custom audiences") is the term used when target groups are determined for advertising purposes, e.g. display of advertisements. For example, a user's interest in certain products or topics on the Internet may be used to infer that that user is interested in advertisements for similar products or the online store in which they viewed the products. Lookalike Audiences" (or similar target groups) is the term used to describe content that is viewed as suitable by users whose profiles or interests presumably correspond to the users for whom the profiles were created. Cookies are generally used for the purposes of creating custom audiences and lookalike audiences. Target groups can be created by processing visitors of an online service or can be uploaded to the provider of an online marketing technology by means of uploading (which is usually done pseudonymised).
- Personal Data: "personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
- Processing: The term "processing" covers a wide range and practically every handling of data, be it collection, evaluation, storage, transmission or erasure.
- Profiles with user-related information: The processing of "profiles with user-related information", or "profiles" for short, includes any kind of automated processing of personal data that consists of using these personal data to analyse, evaluate or predict certain personal aspects relating to a natural person (depending on the type of profiling, this may include different information concerning demographics, behaviour and interests, such as interaction with websites and their content, etc.) (e.g. interests in certain content or products, click behaviour on a website or location). Cookies and web beacons are often used for profiling purposes.
- Remarketing: Remarketing" or "retargeting" is the term used, for example, to indicate for advertising purposes which products a user is interested in on a website in order to remind the user of these products on other websites, e.g. in advertisements.
- Web Analytics: Web Analytics serves the evaluation of visitor traffic of online services and can determine their behavior or interests in certain information, such as content of websites. With the help of web analytics, website owners, for example, can recognize at what time visitors visit their website and what content they are interested in. This allows them, for example, to optimize the content of the website to better meet the needs of their visitors. For purposes of web analytics, pseudonymous cookies and web beacons are frequently used in order to recognise returning visitors and thus obtain more precise analyses of the use of an online service.

Bereitstellung des Onlineangebotes und Webhosting
Um unser Onlineangebot sicher und effizient bereitstellen zu können, nehmen wir die Leistungen von einem oder mehreren Webhosting-Anbietern in Anspruch, von deren Servern (bzw. von ihnen verwalteten Servern) das Onlineangebot abgerufen werden kann. Zu diesen Zwecken können wir Infrastruktur- und Plattformdienstleistungen, Rechenkapazität, Speicherplatz und Datenbankdienste sowie Sicherheitsleistungen und technische Wartungsleistungen in Anspruch nehmen.
Zu den im Rahmen der Bereitstellung des Hostingangebotes verarbeiteten Daten können alle die Nutzer unseres Onlineangebotes betreffenden Angaben gehören, die im Rahmen der Nutzung und der Kommunikation anfallen. Hierzu gehören regelmäßig die IP-Adresse, die notwendig ist, um die Inhalte von Onlineangeboten an Browser ausliefern zu können, und alle innerhalb unseres Onlineangebotes oder von Webseiten getätigten Eingaben.
- Verarbeitete Datenarten: Inhaltsdaten (z.B. Eingaben in Onlineformularen); Nutzungsdaten (z.B. besuchte Webseiten, Interesse an Inhalten, Zugriffszeiten); Meta-/Kommunikationsdaten (z.B. Geräte-Informationen, IP-Adressen).
- Betroffene Personen: Nutzer (z.B. Webseitenbesucher, Nutzer von Onlinediensten).
- Zwecke der Verarbeitung: Bereitstellung unseres Onlineangebotes und Nutzerfreundlichkeit; Erbringung vertraglicher Leistungen und Kundenservice.
- Rechtsgrundlagen: Berechtigte Interessen (Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. f. DSGVO).
Weitere Hinweise zu Verarbeitungsprozessen, Verfahren und Diensten:
- E-Mail-Versand und -Hosting: Die von uns in Anspruch genommenen Webhosting-Leistungen umfassen ebenfalls den Versand, den Empfang sowie die Speicherung von E-Mails. Zu diesen Zwecken werden die Adressen der Empfänger sowie Absender als auch weitere Informationen betreffend den E-Mailversand (z.B. die beteiligten Provider) sowie die Inhalte der jeweiligen E-Mails verarbeitet. Die vorgenannten Daten können ferner zu Zwecken der Erkennung von SPAM verarbeitet werden. Wir bitten darum, zu beachten, dass E-Mails im Internet grundsätzlich nicht verschlüsselt versendet werden. Im Regelfall werden E-Mails zwar auf dem Transportweg verschlüsselt, aber (sofern kein sogenanntes Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselungsverfahren eingesetzt wird) nicht auf den Servern, von denen sie abgesendet und empfangen werden. Wir können daher für den Übertragungsweg der E-Mails zwischen dem Absender und dem Empfang auf unserem Server keine Verantwortung übernehmen.
- Erhebung von Zugriffsdaten und Logfiles: Wir selbst (bzw. unser Webhostinganbieter) erheben Daten zu jedem Zugriff auf den Server (sogenannte Serverlogfiles). Zu den Serverlogfiles können die Adresse und Name der abgerufenen Webseiten und Dateien, Datum und Uhrzeit des Abrufs, übertragene Datenmengen, Meldung über erfolgreichen Abruf, Browsertyp nebst Version, das Betriebssystem des Nutzers, Referrer URL (die zuvor besuchte Seite) und im Regelfall IP-Adressen und der anfragende Provider gehören. Die Serverlogfiles können zum einen zu Zwecken der Sicherheit eingesetzt werden, z.B., um eine Überlastung der Server zu vermeiden (insbesondere im Fall von missbräuchlichen Angriffen, sogenannten DDoS-Attacken) und zum anderen, um die Auslastung der Server und ihre Stabilität sicherzustellen; Löschung von Daten: Logfile-Informationen werden für die Dauer von maximal 30 Tagen gespeichert und danach gelöscht oder anonymisiert. Daten, deren weitere Aufbewahrung zu Beweiszwecken erforderlich ist, sind bis zur endgültigen Klärung des jeweiligen Vorfalls von der Löschung ausgenommen.

- Eingeschränkte Löschung von Gesprächsbeiträgen: Aus Rücksicht auf andere Nutzer, bleiben Gesprächsbeiträge des Nutzers auch nach Kündigung und Kontolöschung gespeichert, damit Konversationen, Kommentare, Ratschläge o.ä. Kommunikation zwischen und unter Nutzern ihren Sinn nicht verlieren oder umkehren. Nutzernamen werden gelöscht oder pseudonymisiert, sofern sie nicht bereits Pseudonyme darstellten. Nutzer können die vollständige Löschung der Gesprächsbeiträge jederzeit bei uns geltend machen.
- Schutz eigener Daten: Die Nutzer entscheiden selbst, welche Daten sie über sich innerhalb unseres Onlineangebotes preisgeben. Zum Beispiel, wenn Nutzer Angaben zur eigenen Person machen oder an Konversationen teilnehmen. Wir bitten die Nutzer ihre Daten zu schützen und persönliche Daten nur mit Bedacht und nur im erforderlichen Umfang zu veröffentlichen. Insbesondere bitten wir die Nutzer zu beachten, dass sie die Zugangsdaten ganz besonders schützen und sichere Passwörter verwenden müssen (d.h. vor allem möglichst lange und zufällige Zeichenkombinationen).
Single-Sign-On-Anmeldung
Als "Single-Sign-On“ oder "Single-Sign-On-Anmeldung bzw. "-Authentifizierung“ werden Verfahren bezeichnet, die es Nutzern erlauben, sich mit Hilfe eines Nutzerkontos bei einem Anbieter von Single-Sign-On-Verfahren (z.B. einem sozialen Netzwerk), auch bei unserem Onlineangebot, anzumelden. Voraussetzung der Single-Sign-On-Authentifizierung ist, dass die Nutzer bei dem jeweiligen Single-Sign-On-Anbieter registriert sind und die erforderlichen Zugangsdaten in dem dafür vorgesehenen Onlineformular eingeben, bzw. schon bei dem Single-Sign-On-Anbieter angemeldet sind und die Single-Sign-On-Anmeldung via Schaltfläche bestätigen.
Die Authentifizierung erfolgt direkt bei dem jeweiligen Single-Sign-On-Anbieter. Im Rahmen einer solchen Authentifizierung erhalten wir eine Nutzer-ID mit der Information, dass der Nutzer unter dieser Nutzer-ID beim jeweiligen Single-Sign-On-Anbieter eingeloggt ist und eine für uns für andere Zwecke nicht weiter nutzbare ID (sog "User Handle“). Ob uns zusätzliche Daten übermittelt werden, hängt allein von dem genutzten Single-Sign-On-Verfahren ab, von den gewählten Datenfreigaben im Rahmen der Authentifizierung und zudem davon, welche Daten Nutzer in den Privatsphäre- oder sonstigen Einstellungen des Nutzerkontos beim Single-Sign-On-Anbieter freigegeben haben. Es können je nach Single-Sign-On-Anbieter und der Wahl der Nutzer verschiedene Daten sein, in der Regel sind es die E-Mail-Adresse und der Benutzername. Das im Rahmen des Single-Sign-On-Verfahrens eingegebene Passwort bei dem Single-Sign-On-Anbieter ist für uns weder einsehbar, noch wird es von uns gespeichert.
Die Nutzer werden gebeten, zu beachten, dass deren bei uns gespeicherte Angaben automatisch mit ihrem Nutzerkonto beim Single-Sign-On-Anbieter abgeglichen werden können, dies jedoch nicht immer möglich ist oder tatsächlich erfolgt. Ändern sich z.B. die E-Mail-Adressen der Nutzer, müssen sie diese manuell in ihrem Nutzerkonto bei uns ändern.
Die Single-Sign-On-Anmeldung können wir, sofern mit den Nutzern vereinbart, im Rahmen der oder vor der Vertragserfüllung einsetzen, soweit die Nutzer darum gebeten wurden, im Rahmen einer Einwilligung verarbeiten und setzen sie ansonsten auf Grundlage der berechtigten Interessen unsererseits und der Interessen der Nutzer an einem effektiven und sicheren Anmeldesystem ein.
Sollten Nutzer sich einmal entscheiden, die Verknüpfung ihres Nutzerkontos beim Single-Sign-On-Anbieter nicht mehr für das Single-Sign-On-Verfahren nutzen zu wollen, müssen sie diese Verbindung innerhalb ihres Nutzerkontos beim Single-Sign-On-Anbieter aufheben. Möchten Nutzer deren Daten bei uns löschen, müssen sie ihre Registrierung bei uns kündigen.

Kommunikation via Messenger
Wir setzen zu Zwecken der Kommunikation Messenger ein und bitten daher darum, die nachfolgenden Hinweise zur Funktionsfähigkeit der Messenger, zur Verschlüsselung, zur Nutzung der Metadaten der Kommunikation und zu Ihren Widerspruchsmöglichkeiten zu beachten.
Sie können uns auch auf alternativen Wegen, z.B. via Telefon oder E-Mail, kontaktieren. Bitte nutzen Sie die Ihnen mitgeteilten Kontaktmöglichkeiten oder die innerhalb unseres Onlineangebotes angegebenen Kontaktmöglichkeiten.
Im Fall einer Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung von Inhalten (d.h., der Inhalt Ihrer Nachricht und Anhänge) weisen wir darauf hin, dass die Kommunikationsinhalte (d.h., der Inhalt der Nachricht und angehängte Bilder) von Ende zu Ende verschlüsselt werden. Das bedeutet, dass der Inhalt der Nachrichten nicht einsehbar ist, nicht einmal durch die Messenger-Anbieter selbst. Sie sollten immer eine aktuelle Version der Messenger mit aktivierter Verschlüsselung nutzen, damit die Verschlüsselung der Nachrichteninhalte sichergestellt ist.
Wir weisen unsere Kommunikationspartner jedoch zusätzlich darauf hin, dass die Anbieter der Messenger zwar nicht den Inhalt einsehen, aber in Erfahrung bringen können, dass und wann Kommunikationspartner mit uns kommunizieren sowie technische Informationen zum verwendeten Gerät der Kommunikationspartner und je nach Einstellungen ihres Gerätes auch Standortinformationen (sogenannte Metadaten) verarbeitet werden.
Hinweise zu Rechtsgrundlagen: Sofern wir Kommunikationspartner vor der Kommunikation mit ihnen via Messenger um eine Erlaubnis bitten, ist die Rechtsgrundlage unserer Verarbeitung ihrer Daten deren Einwilligung. Im Übrigen, falls wir nicht um eine Einwilligung bitten und sie z.B. von sich aus Kontakt mit uns aufnehmen, nutzen wir Messenger im Verhältnis zu unseren Vertragspartnern sowie im Rahmen der Vertragsanbahnung als eine vertragliche Maßnahme und im Fall anderer Interessenten und Kommunikationspartner auf Grundlage unserer berechtigten Interessen an einer schnellen und effizienten Kommunikation und Erfüllung der Bedürfnisse unser Kommunikationspartner an der Kommunikation via Messenger. Ferner weisen wir Sie darauf hin, dass wir die uns mitgeteilten Kontaktdaten ohne Ihre Einwilligung nicht erstmalig an die Messenger übermitteln.
Widerruf, Widerspruch und Löschung: Sie können jederzeit eine erteilte Einwilligung widerrufen und der Kommunikation mit uns via Messenger jederzeit widersprechen. Im Fall der Kommunikation via Messenger löschen wir die Nachrichten entsprechend unseren generellen Löschrichtlinien (d.h. z.B., wie oben beschrieben, nach Ende vertraglicher Beziehungen, im Kontext von Archivierungsvorgaben etc.) und sonst, sobald wir davon ausgehen können, etwaige Auskünfte der Kommunikationspartner beantwortet zu haben, wenn kein Rückbezug auf eine vorhergehende Konversation zu erwarten ist und der Löschung keine gesetzlichen Aufbewahrungspflichten entgegenstehen.
Vorbehalt des Verweises auf andere Kommunikationswege: Zum Abschluss möchten wir darauf hinweisen, dass wir uns aus Gründen Ihrer Sicherheit vorbehalten, Anfragen über Messenger nicht zu beantworten. Das ist der Fall, wenn z.B. Vertragsinterna besonderer Geheimhaltung bedürfen oder eine Antwort über Messenger den formellen Ansprüchen nicht genügt. In solchen Fällen verweisen wir Sie auf adäquatere Kommunikationswege.

Videokonferenzen, Onlinemeetings, Webinare und Bildschirm-Sharing
Wir setzen Plattformen und Anwendungen anderer Anbieter (nachfolgend bezeichnet als “Konferenzplattformen”) zu Zwecken der Durchführung von Video- und Audio-Konferenzen, Webinaren und sonstigen Arten von Video und Audio-Meetings (nachfolgend zusammenfassend bezeichnet als "Konferenz") ein. Bei der Auswahl der Konferenzplattformen und ihrer Leistungen beachten wir die gesetzlichen Vorgaben.
Durch Konferenzplattformen verarbeitete Daten: Im Rahmen der Teilnahme an einer Konferenz verarbeiten die Konferenzplattformen die im Folgenden genannten personenbezogene Daten der Teilnehmer. Der Umfang der Verarbeitung hängt zum einen davon ab, welche Daten im Rahmen einer konkreten Konferenz gefordert werden (z.B. Angabe von Zugangsdaten oder Klarnamen) und welche optionalen Angaben durch die Teilnehmer getätigt werden. Neben der Verarbeitung zur Durchführung der Konferenz, können die Daten der Teilnehmer durch die Konferenzplattformen ebenfalls zu Sicherheitszwecken oder Serviceoptimierung verarbeitet werden. Zu den verarbeiteten Daten gehören Daten zur Person (Vorname, Nachname), Kontaktinformationen (E-Mail-Adresse, Telefonnummer), Zugangsdaten (Zugangscodes oder Passwörter), Profilbilder, Angaben zur beruflichen Stellung/Funktion, die IP-Adresse des Internetzugangs, Angaben zu den Endgeräten der Teilnehmer, deren Betriebssystem, dem Browser und dessen technischen und sprachlichen Einstellungen, Informationen zu den inhaltlichen Kommunikationsvorgängen, d.h. Eingaben in Chats sowie Audio- und Videodaten, als auch die Nutzung anderer zur Verfügung stehender Funktionen (z.B. Umfragen). Inhalte der Kommunikationen werden in dem durch die Konferenzanbieter technisch bereitgestellten Umfang verschlüsselt. Wenn die Teilnehmer bei den Konferenzplattformen als Benutzer registriert sind, dann können weitere Daten entsprechend der Vereinbarung mit dem jeweiligen Konferenzanbieter verarbeitet werden.
Protokollierung und Aufnahmen: Falls Texteingaben, Teilnahmeergebnisse (z.B. von Umfragen) sowie Video- oder Audioaufnahmen protokolliert werden, wird dies den Teilnehmern im Vorwege transparent mitgeteilt und sie werden – soweit erforderlich – um eine Zustimmung gebeten.
Datenschutzmaßnahmen der Teilnehmer: Bitte beachten Sie zu den Details der Verarbeitung Ihrer Daten durch die Konferenzplattformen deren Datenschutzhinweise und wählen im Rahmen der Einstellungen der Konferenzplattformen, die für Sie optimalen Sicherheits- und Datenschutzeinstellungen. Bitte sorgen Sie ferner für die Dauer einer Videokonferenz für den Daten- und Persönlichkeitsschutz im Hintergrund Ihrer Aufnahme (z.B. durch Hinweise an Mitbewohner, Abschließen von Türen und Nutzung, soweit technisch möglich, der Funktion zur Unkenntlichmachung des Hintergrunds). Links zu den Konferenzräumen sowie Zugangsdaten, dürfen nicht an unberechtigte Dritte weitergegeben werden.
Hinweise zu Rechtsgrundlagen: Sofern neben den Konferenzplattformen auch wir die Daten der Nutzer verarbeiten und die Nutzer um deren Einwilligung in den Einsatz der Konferenzplattformen oder bestimmter Funktionen bitten (z. B. Einverständnis mit einer Aufzeichnung von Konferenzen), ist die Rechtsgrundlage der Verarbeitung diese Einwilligung. Ferner kann unsere Verarbeitung zur Erfüllung unserer vertraglichen Pflichten erforderlich sein (z.B. in Teilnehmerlisten, im Fall von Aufarbeitung von Gesprächsergebnissen, etc.). Im Übrigen werden die Daten der Nutzer auf Grundlage unserer berechtigten Interessen an einer effizienten und sicheren Kommunikation mit unseren Kommunikationspartnern verarbeitet.

Bewerbungsverfahren
Das Bewerbungsverfahren setzt voraus, dass Bewerber uns die für deren Beurteilung und Auswahl erforderlichen Daten mitteilen. Welche Informationen erforderlich sind, ergibt sich aus der Stellenbeschreibung oder im Fall von Onlineformularen aus den dortigen Angaben.
Grundsätzlich gehören zu den erforderlichen Angaben, die Informationen zur Person, wie der Name, die Adresse, eine Kontaktmöglichkeit sowie die Nachweise über die für eine Stelle notwendigen Qualifikationen. Auf Anfragen teilen wir zusätzlich gerne mit, welche Angaben benötigt werden.
Sofern zur Verfügung gestellt, können uns Bewerber ihre Bewerbungen mittels eines Onlineformulars übermitteln. Die Daten werden entsprechend dem Stand der Technik verschlüsselt an uns übertragen. Ebenfalls können Bewerber uns ihre Bewerbungen via E-Mail übermitteln. Hierbei bitten wir jedoch zu beachten, dass E-Mails im Internet grundsätzlich nicht verschlüsselt versendet werden. Im Regelfall werden E-Mails zwar auf dem Transportweg verschlüsselt, aber nicht auf den Servern von denen sie abgesendet und empfangen werden. Wir können daher für den Übertragungsweg der Bewerbung zwischen dem Absender und dem Empfang auf unserem Server keine Verantwortung übernehmen.
Für Zwecke der Bewerbersuche, Einreichung von Bewerbungen und Auswahl von Bewerbern können wir unter Beachtung der gesetzlichen Vorgaben, Bewerbermanagement-, bzw. Recruitment-Software und Plattformen und Leistungen von Drittanbietern in Anspruch nehmen.
Bewerber können uns gerne zur Art der Einreichung der Bewerbung kontaktieren oder uns die Bewerbung auf dem Postweg zuzusenden.
Verarbeitung besonderer Kategorien von Daten: Soweit im Rahmen des Bewerbungsverfahrens besondere Kategorien von personenbezogenen Daten (Art. 9 Abs. 1 DSGVO, z.B. Gesundheitsdaten, wie z.B. Schwerbehinderteneigenschaft oder ethnische Herkunft) bei Bewerbern angefragt werden, erfolgt deren Verarbeitung damit der Verantwortliche oder die betroffene Person die ihm bzw. ihr aus dem Arbeitsrecht und dem Recht der sozialen Sicherheit und des Sozialschutzes erwachsenden Rechte ausüben und seinen bzw. ihren diesbezüglichen Pflichten nachkommen kann, im Fall des Schutzes lebenswichtiger Interessen der Bewerber oder anderer Personen oder für Zwecke der Gesundheitsvorsorge oder der Arbeitsmedizin, für die Beurteilung der Arbeitsfähigkeit des Beschäftigten, für die medizinische Diagnostik, für die Versorgung oder Behandlung im Gesundheits- oder Sozialbereich oder für die Verwaltung von Systemen und Diensten im Gesundheits- oder Sozialbereich.
Löschung von Daten: Die von den Bewerbern zur Verfügung gestellten Daten können im Fall einer erfolgreichen Bewerbung für die Zwecke des Beschäftigungsverhältnisses von uns weiterverarbeitet werden. Andernfalls, sofern die Bewerbung auf ein Stellenangebot nicht erfolgreich ist, werden die Daten der Bewerber gelöscht. Die Daten der Bewerber werden ebenfalls gelöscht, wenn eine Bewerbung zurückgezogen wird, wozu die Bewerber jederzeit berechtigt sind. Die Löschung erfolgt, vorbehaltlich eines berechtigten Widerrufs der Bewerber, spätestens nach dem Ablauf eines Zeitraums von sechs Monaten, damit wir etwaige Anschlussfragen zu der Bewerbung beantworten und unseren Nachweispflichten aus den Vorschriften zur Gleichbehandlung von Bewerbern nachkommen können. Rechnungen über etwaige Reisekostenerstattung werden entsprechend den steuerrechtlichen Vorgaben archiviert.
Aufnahme in einen Bewerberpool: Die Aufnahme in einen Bewerber-Pool, sofern angeboten, erfolgt auf Grundlage einer Einwilligung. Die Bewerber werden darüber belehrt, dass ihre Zustimmung zur Aufnahme in den Talentpool freiwillig ist, keinen Einfluss auf das laufende Bewerbungsverfahren hat und sie ihre Einwilligung jederzeit für die Zukunft widerrufen können.

Newsletter und elektronische Benachrichtigungen
Wir versenden Newsletter, E-Mails und weitere elektronische Benachrichtigungen (nachfolgend "Newsletter“) nur mit der Einwilligung der Empfänger oder einer gesetzlichen Erlaubnis. Sofern im Rahmen einer Anmeldung zum Newsletter dessen Inhalte konkret umschrieben werden, sind sie für die Einwilligung der Nutzer maßgeblich. Im Übrigen enthalten unsere Newsletter Informationen zu unseren Leistungen und uns.
Um sich zu unseren Newslettern anzumelden, reicht es grundsätzlich aus, wenn Sie Ihre E-Mail-Adresse angeben. Wir können Sie jedoch bitten, einen Namen, zwecks persönlicher Ansprache im Newsletter, oder weitere Angaben, sofern diese für die Zwecke des Newsletters erforderlich sind, zu tätigen.
Double-Opt-In-Verfahren: Die Anmeldung zu unserem Newsletter erfolgt grundsätzlich in einem sogenannte Double-Opt-In-Verfahren. D.h., Sie erhalten nach der Anmeldung eine E-Mail, in der Sie um die Bestätigung Ihrer Anmeldung gebeten werden. Diese Bestätigung ist notwendig, damit sich niemand mit fremden E-Mail-Adressen anmelden kann. Die Anmeldungen zum Newsletter werden protokolliert, um den Anmeldeprozess entsprechend den rechtlichen Anforderungen nachweisen zu können. Hierzu gehört die Speicherung des Anmelde- und des Bestätigungszeitpunkts als auch der IP-Adresse. Ebenso werden die Änderungen Ihrer bei dem Versanddienstleister gespeicherten Daten protokolliert.
Löschung und Einschränkung der Verarbeitung: Wir können die ausgetragenen E-Mail-Adressen bis zu drei Jahren auf Grundlage unserer berechtigten Interessen speichern, bevor wir sie löschen, um eine ehemals gegebene Einwilligung nachweisen zu können. Die Verarbeitung dieser Daten wird auf den Zweck einer möglichen Abwehr von Ansprüchen beschränkt. Ein individueller Löschungsantrag ist jederzeit möglich, sofern zugleich das ehemalige Bestehen einer Einwilligung bestätigt wird. Im Fall von Pflichten zur dauerhaften Beachtung von Widersprüchen behalten wir uns die Speicherung der E-Mail-Adresse alleine zu diesem Zweck in einer Sperrliste (sogenannte "Blocklist") vor.
Die Protokollierung des Anmeldeverfahrens erfolgt auf Grundlage unserer berechtigten Interessen zu Zwecken des Nachweises seines ordnungsgemäßen Ablaufs. Soweit wir einen Dienstleister mit dem Versand von E-Mails beauftragen, erfolgt dies auf Grundlage unserer berechtigten Interessen an einem effizienten und sicheren Versandsystem.
Hinweise zu Rechtsgrundlagen: Der Versand der Newsletter erfolgt auf Grundlage einer Einwilligung der Empfänger oder, falls eine Einwilligung nicht erforderlich ist, auf Grundlage unserer berechtigten Interessen am Direktmarketing, sofern und soweit diese gesetzlich, z.B. im Fall von Bestandskundenwerbung, erlaubt ist. Soweit wir einen Dienstleister mit dem Versand von E-Mails beauftragen, geschieht dies auf der Grundlage unserer berechtigten Interessen an einem effizienten und sicheren Versand. Das Registrierungsverfahren wird auf der Grundlage unserer berechtigten Interessen aufgezeichnet, um nachzuweisen, dass es in Übereinstimmung mit dem Gesetz durchgeführt wurde.

Einen Link zur Kündigung des Newsletters finden Sie entweder am Ende eines jeden Newsletters oder können sonst eine der oben angegebenen Kontaktmöglichkeiten, vorzugswürdig E-Mail, hierzu nutzen.
Weitere Hinweise zu Verarbeitungsprozessen, Verfahren und Diensten:
- Messung von Öffnungs- und Klickraten: Die Newsletter enthalten einen sogenannte "web-beacon“, d.h., eine pixelgroße Datei, die beim Öffnen des Newsletters von unserem Server, bzw., sofern wir einen Versanddienstleister einsetzen, von dessen Server abgerufen wird. Im Rahmen dieses Abrufs werden zunächst technische Informationen, wie Informationen zum Browser und Ihrem System, als auch Ihre IP-Adresse und der Zeitpunkt des Abrufs, erhoben. Diese Informationen werden zur technischen Verbesserung unseres Newsletters anhand der technischen Daten oder der Zielgruppen und ihres Leseverhaltens auf Basis ihrer Abruforte (die mit Hilfe der IP-Adresse bestimmbar sind) oder der Zugriffszeiten genutzt. Diese Analyse beinhaltet ebenfalls die Feststellung, ob die Newsletter geöffnet werden, wann sie geöffnet werden und welche Links geklickt werden. Diese Informationen werden den einzelnen Newsletterempfängern zugeordnet und in deren Profilen bis zu deren Löschung gespeichert. Die Auswertungen dienen uns dazu, die Lesegewohnheiten unserer Nutzer zu erkennen und unsere Inhalte an sie anzupassen oder unterschiedliche Inhalte entsprechend den Interessen unserer Nutzer zu versenden. Die Messung der Öffnungsraten und der Klickraten sowie Speicherung der Messergebnisse in den Profilen der Nutzer sowie deren weitere Verarbeitung erfolgen auf Grundlage einer Einwilligung der Nutzer. Ein getrennter Widerruf der Erfolgsmessung ist leider nicht möglich, in diesem Fall muss das gesamte Newsletterabonnement gekündigt, bzw. muss ihm widersprochen werden. In diesem Fall werden die gespeicherten Profilinformationen gelöscht.

Wir verarbeiten personenbezogene Daten der Teilnehmer von Gewinnspielen und Wettbewerben nur unter Einhaltung der einschlägigen Datenschutzbestimmungen, soweit die Verarbeitung zur Bereitstellung, Durchführung und Abwicklung des Gewinnspiels vertraglich erforderlich ist, die Teilnehmer in die Verarbeitung eingewilligt haben oder die Verarbeitung unseren berechtigten Interessen dient (z.B. an der Sicherheit des Gewinnspiels oder dem Schutz unserer Interessen vor Missbrauch durch mögliche Erfassung von IP-Adressen bei Einreichung von Gewinnspielbeiträgen).
Falls im Rahmen der Gewinnspiele Beiträge der Teilnehmer veröffentlicht werden (z.B. im Rahmen einer Abstimmung oder Präsentation der Gewinnspielbeiträge bzw. der Gewinner oder der Berichterstattung zum Gewinnspiel), weisen wir darauf hin, dass die Namen der Teilnehmer in diesem Zusammenhang ebenfalls veröffentlicht werden können. Die Teilnehmer können dem jederzeit widersprechen.
Findet das Gewinnspiel innerhalb einer Online-Plattform oder eines sozialen Netzwerks (z.B. Facebook oder Instagram, nachfolgend bezeichnet als "Online-Plattform“) statt, gelten zusätzlich die Nutzungs- und Datenschutzbestimmungen der jeweiligen Plattformen. In diesen Fällen weisen wir darauf hin, dass wir für die im Rahmen des Gewinnspiels mitgeteilten Angaben der Teilnehmer verantwortlich sind und Anfragen im Hinblick auf das Gewinnspiel an uns zu richten sind.
Die Daten der Teilnehmer werden gelöscht, sobald das Gewinnspiel oder der Wettbewerb beendet sind und die Daten nicht mehr erforderlich sind, um die Gewinner zu informieren oder weil mit Rückfragen zum Gewinnspiel zu rechnen ist. Grundsätzlich werden die Daten der Teilnehmer spätestens 6 Monate nach Ende des Gewinnspiels gelöscht. Daten der Gewinner können länger einbehalten werden, um z.B. Rückfragen zu den Gewinnen beantworten oder die Gewinnleistungen erfüllen zu können; in diesem Fall richtet sich die Aufbewahrungsdauer nach der Art des Gewinns und beträgt z.B. bei Sachen oder Leistungen bis zu drei Jahre, um z.B. Gewährleistungsfälle bearbeiten zu können. Ferner können die Daten der Teilnehmer länger gespeichert werden, z.B. in Form der Berichterstattung zum Gewinnspiel in Online- und Offline-Medien.
Sofern Daten im Rahmen des Gewinnspiels auch zu anderen Zwecken erhoben wurden, richten sich deren Verarbeitung und die Aufbewahrungsdauer nach den Datenschutzhinweisen zu dieser Nutzung (z.B. im Fall einer Anmeldung zum Newsletter im Rahmen eines Gewinnspiels).

Webanalyse, Monitoring und Optimierung
Die Webanalyse (auch als „Reichweitenmessung" bezeichnet) dient der Auswertung der Besucherströme unseres Onlineangebots und kann Verhalten, Interessen oder demografische Informationen zu den Besuchern, wie beispielsweise Alter oder Geschlecht, als pseudonyme Werte umfassen. Mithilfe der Reichweitenanalyse können wir zum Beispiel erkennen, zu welcher Zeit unser Onlineangebot oder dessen Funktionen beziehungsweise Inhalte am häufigsten genutzt werden, oder zur Wiederverwendung einladen. Ebenso ist es uns möglich, nachzuvollziehen, welche Bereiche der Optimierung bedürfen.
Neben der Webanalyse können wir auch Testverfahren einsetzen, um etwa unterschiedliche Versionen unseres Onlineangebots oder seiner Bestandteile zu testen und zu optimieren.
Sofern nachfolgend nicht anders angegeben, können zu diesen Zwecken Profile, also zu einem Nutzungsvorgang zusammengefasste Daten, angelegt und Informationen in einem Browser bzw. in einem Endgerät gespeichert und dann ausgelesen werden. Zu den erhobenen Angaben gehören insbesondere besuchte Websites und dort genutzte Elemente sowie technische Auskünfte, wie etwa der verwendete Browser, das benutzte Computersystem sowie Angaben zu Nutzungszeiten. Sofern sich Nutzer in die Erhebung ihrer Standortdaten uns gegenüber oder gegenüber den Anbietern der von uns eingesetzten Dienste einverstanden erklärt haben, ist auch die Verarbeitung von Standortdaten möglich.
Darüber hinaus werden die IP-Adressen der Nutzer gespeichert. Jedoch nutzen wir ein IP-Masking-Verfahren (d. h. Pseudonymisierung durch Kürzung der IP-Adresse) zum Schutz der Nutzer. Generell werden die im Rahmen von Webanalyse, A/B-Testings und Optimierung keine Klardaten der Nutzer (wie z. B. E-Mail-Adressen oder Namen) gespeichert, sondern Pseudonyme. Das heißt, wir als auch die Anbieter der eingesetzten Software kennen nicht die tatsächliche Identität der Nutzer, sondern nur die zum Zweck der jeweiligen Verfahren in deren Profilen gespeicherten Angaben.
Hinweise zu Rechtsgrundlagen: Sofern wir die Nutzer um deren Einwilligung in den Einsatz der Drittanbieter bitten, stellt die Rechtsgrundlage der Datenverarbeitung die Einwilligung dar. Ansonsten werden die Nutzerdaten auf Grundlage unserer berechtigten Interessen (d. h. Interesse an effizienten, wirtschaftlichen und empfängerfreundlichen Leistungen) verarbeitet. In diesem Zusammenhang möchten wir Sie auch auf die Informationen zur Verwendung von Cookies in dieser Datenschutzerklärung hinweisen.
