2 Purposes and legal basis of data processing

2.1 Data processing for the provision of contractual services

We process personal data in order to process the contractual relationships and to be able to submit contractual offers tailored to your requirements. The collection of the data takes place in particular for the conclusion and/or for the performance of a contract.

We collect with all forms obligatorily only those personal data, which are absolutely necessary for the completion of the contractual relations and/or for your information inquiry. This information is marked with an asterisk. The collection of data, which is not absolutely necessary, but in which we are interested in order to optimize the fulfilment of the purpose, is only optional. In this case you decide on a voluntary basis if and which data you want to give us.

You can contact us via our website and our contact data to request contractual services. You can also use the contact form on our website for this purpose. If you provide us with personal data this way or in another way with this purpose, we process your data for the answer of your requests, for the performance of the order/contract as well as for invoicing. We need your name, your address data as well as your e-mail address. These data are necessary to enter into a contract with us.

In addition, we collect further data you provide within the contractual initiation or performance of the contract, which are not absolutely necessary for the performance of the contract, but which support the purpose and are useful for it, in particular to be able to provide better consulting services. For example, we may collect information about contact persons in your company (name, telephone number, e-mail address, department, position in the company) and information about your company (business sector, planned measures and budget plans, if you provide them).

Depending on the order/contract, we may require additional data; we will inform you on a case-by-case basis.

In the case of suppliers/service providers, we process the provided personal data to order and claim services and to pay for the services provided. For this we need the name, the name of your company (if different) the address data as well as the bank account data. We also use further data you provide in this way or another way for this purpose, but those data are not necessary to enter into a contract. Depending on the order/contract, we may require additional data; we will inform you on a case-by-case basis.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 s.1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

2.2 Data processing for communication with you (contact form, etc.) In addition to the contract data, we process your communication data (names of contact persons, address, telephone number, fax number, e-mail address) in order to be able to contact you and communicate with you within the contractual relationship. Personal data that you provide to us by e-mail, the contact form on our website, by post or telephone will only be processed for correspondence with you or only for the purpose for which you have made the data available to us. For communication via the contact form on our website, we need at least your full name and your e-mail address. If you would like us to call you back, we also need your telephone number.

The basis for this data processing is also Art. 6 para. 1 s.1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

2.3 Data processing for contact arrangement for applications

We broker potential candidates for jobs as agents. In this context, we address suitable candidates in social networks (of course within the scope of the local terms and conditions) and we ask whether there is interest in getting in contact with our clients.

If you do not give us your consent for the processing of your data, we will save your name and the date of our inquiry for the purpose of documenting our approach, not approaching you again and for respecting any objections.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 s.1 lit. f GDPR, which permits the processing of data for purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller, provided that the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override. We are interested in the efficient approach of potential candidates as well as in the avoidance of double approaches and approaches of persons who do not want to be approached by us.

If, after our approach, you send us application documents unasked or if you provide us with data in follow-up interviews/conversations or in any other way in this context, and you do not give us your express consent to process and/or to forward this data to our client/provider of a job, we process the data in preparation for the transfer to our client/provider of a job until we receive your consent or the contract with our client ends.

For this purpose, we will send a confirmation e-mail with a link (double opt-in) to the registered e-mail address. Only after clicking on this link the registration will be completed. The purpose of the procedure is to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible abuse of your personal data. We do not collect any further data in this context.

The data that you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers as well as from the servers of our newsletter provider after you unsubscribe from the newsletter.

Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server and stored there, and may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.

However, since IP anonymisation is activated on our website when using Google Analytics, your IP address will be shortened by Google in member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before this is done. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google LLC. server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website in question, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

We may also use the “demographic features” feature of Google Analytics in conjunction with Google Analytics. This allows us to generate reports that include information about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data is derived from interest-based advertising by Google and from visitor data from third parties. This data cannot be attributed to any specific person. You can disable this feature at any time by changing the ad settings in your Google Account, or generally prohibit Google Analytics from collecting your information as shown below.

The data transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your anonymised IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

For more information on terms of use and data protection, please visit http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or www.google.de/intl/de/policies/. We would like to point out once again that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code “anonymizeIp” to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP-Masking).

Important in connection with data processing in the USA: According to the European Court of Justice, the data protection standard in the USA is insufficient and there is a risk that your data will be processed by US authorities, for control and monitoring purposes and possibly without any possibility of legal recourse.

We may use plugins from the website YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

However, the transfer of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the extended data protection mode. Thus, YouTube – regardless of whether you watch a video – establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network.

As soon as you start a YouTube video within our service, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, YouTube can save various cookies on your end device after starting a video. With the help of these cookies, YouTube can obtain information users of our app/website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve the user experience and prevent fraud attempts. Cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them.

If necessary, further data processing operations may be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no control. You can find more information about data protection at YouTube in their privacy policy at: policies.google.com/privacy.
