We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of utmost importance to the management of Bactrya. The use of the Bactrya websites is possible without any provision of personal data. However, if an individual wishes to avail of special services of our company through our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the affected person.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of an affected person, always complies with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Bactrya. Through this data protection declaration, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, affected individuals are informed about their rights through this data protection declaration.
Bactrya, as the controller responsible for processing, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transfers can have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every affected person is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, such as by telephone.
The data protection declaration of Bactrya is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.
In this data protection declaration, we use, among others, the following terms:
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.
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Controller or controller responsible for processing is a 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. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body, to whom the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
Responsible party in terms of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in the member states of the European Union, and other provisions with data protection character is the:

The websites of Bactrya use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved on a computer system via an internet browser.
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which web pages and servers can assign the specific internet browser in which the cookie was saved. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the affected person from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, Bactrya can provide more user-friendly services to the users of this website, which would not be possible without the setting of cookies.
Using a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized in the interest of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter their access data each time they visit the website because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The affected person can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the used internet browser and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the affected person deactivates the setting of cookies in the used internet browser, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
The website of Bactrya collects a series of general data and information with each visit to the website by an affected person or an automated system. These general data and information are stored in the server's log files. The following can be recorded: (1) the types and versions of browsers used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-pages accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to prevent threats in case of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, Bactrya does not draw any conclusions about the affected person. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack. Therefore, these anonymously collected data and information are statistically evaluated by Bactrya and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by an affected person.
The website of Bactrya contains information required by law that enables rapid electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If an affected person contacts the controller responsible for processing via email or through a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the affected person are automatically stored. Such personal data voluntarily transmitted by an affected person to the controller responsible for processing are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the affected person. There is no transfer of these personal data to third parties.
The controller responsible for processing shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to avail themselves of this right of confirmation, they may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain at any time from the controller free information about his or her stored personal data and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information:
Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information as to whether personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject shall have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to avail themselves of this right of access, they may at any time contact any employee of the controller.
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her without undue delay. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may at any time contact any employee of the controller.
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to demand the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies, and insofar as the processing is not necessary:
If a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Bactrya, they may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee of Bactrya shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.
Where the controller has made the personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase the personal data, Bactrya, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, insofar as processing is not required. An employees of the Bactrya will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:
If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by Bactrya, they may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee of Bactrya will arrange the restriction of the processing.
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which were provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any employee of Bactrya.
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time, to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
Bactrya shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If Bactrya processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Bactrya to the processing for direct marketing purposes, Bactrya will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by Bactrya for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of Bactrya or any other employee. The data subject is also free to use his or her right to object in the context of the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by automated means using technical specifications.
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject's explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the data controller, or (2) is based on the data subject's explicit consent, Bactrya shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, they can approach an employee of the controller responsible for the processing at any time.
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directive and Regulation legislator, to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they can approach an employee of the controller responsible for the processing at any time.
The controller responsible for processing collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing can also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the controller responsible for processing by electronic means, for example, via email or through a web form on the website. If the controller responsible for processing concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded by the controller responsible for processing with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller responsible for processing oppose such deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense, for example, could be a burden of proof in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
The controller responsible for processing has integrated Google AdSense on this website. Google AdSense is an online service that enables the mediation of advertising on third-party sites. Google AdSense is based on an algorithm that selects the advertisements displayed on third-party sites to match the content of the respective third-party site. Google AdSense allows interest-based targeting of the internet user, which is implemented by generating individual user profiles.
The operating company of the Google AdSense component is Alphabet Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of the Google AdSense component is the integration of advertisements on our website. Google AdSense places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. The setting of the cookie enables Alphabet Inc. to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the controller responsible for processing and into which a Google AdSense component is integrated, is called up, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google AdSense component to transmit data to Alphabet Inc. for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions. In the course of this technical process, Alphabet Inc. becomes aware of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Alphabet Inc., among other things, to trace the origin of the visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the used internet browser and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Alphabet Inc. from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie set by Alphabet Inc. can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Google AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in web pages to enable log file recording and log file analysis, thereby enabling statistical analysis to be carried out. Using the embedded tracking pixel, Alphabet Inc. can determine whether and when a website was opened by a data subject and which links were clicked on by the data subject. Tracking pixels serve, among other things, to evaluate the flow of visitors to a website.
Through Google AdSense, personal data and information, which also includes the IP address and is necessary for the collection and billing of the displayed advertisements, is transferred to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. These personal data are stored and processed in the United States of America. Alphabet Inc. may pass on these personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
Google AdSense is further explained under this link https://www.google.de/intl/de/adsense/start/.
The controller responsible for processing has integrated the component Google Analytics (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics service collects, inter alia, data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics is mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The controller responsible for processing uses the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymized by Google if the access to our website takes place from a member state of the European Union or another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet site.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies has already been explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this internet site, which is operated by the controller responsible for processing and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During the course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, among other things, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. With each visit to our internet site, such personal data, including the IP address of the internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject has the possibility of objecting to the collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which are related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is attributable to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is further explained under the following link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
The controller responsible for processing has integrated Google Remarketing services on this website. Google Remarketing is a feature of Google AdWords that allows a company to display advertisements to internet users who have previously visited the company's website. The integration of Google Remarketing thus enables a company to create user-related advertising and consequently display interest-relevant advertising to the internet user.
The operator of the Google Remarketing services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of Google Remarketing is the display of interest-relevant advertising. Google Remarketing allows us to display advertisements via the Google advertising network or to have them displayed on other websites, which are tailored to the individual needs and interests of internet users.
Google Remarketing places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies has already been explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google enables the recognition of the visitor to our website when they subsequently visit websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. With each call-up to a website on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, the internet browser of the data subject automatically identifies itself to Google. During the course of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address or the user's browsing behavior, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertising.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the web pages visited by the data subject. Therefore, with each visit to our web pages, personal data, including the IP address of the internet access used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the used internet browser and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the used internet browser would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. For this purpose, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be retrieved under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
aThe controller responsible for processing has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads both in Google's search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-determine specific keywords by which an ad in Google's search engine results will only appear if the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result with the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed on topic-relevant web pages using an automatic algorithm and in accordance with the previously determined keywords.
The operator of the Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the search engine Google, and by displaying third-party advertising on our website.
If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, Google will place a so-called conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping cart of an online shop system, have been called up on our website. The conversion cookie allows both us and Google to track whether a data subject who came to our website via an AdWords ad generated sales, that is, completed or cancelled a purchase of goods.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e., to determine the success or failure of each AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the data subject.
The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the web pages visited by the data subject. Therefore, with each visit to our web pages, personal data, including the IP address of the internet access used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the used internet browser and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the used internet browser would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. For this purpose, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be retrieved under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
The controller responsible for processing has integrated components of LinkedIn Corporation on this website. LinkedIn is an internet-based social network that allows users to connect with existing business contacts and establish new business connections. Over 400 million registered people use LinkedIn in more than 200 countries, making it currently the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites in the world.
The operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. For privacy matters outside the USA, LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible.
Each time our website, equipped with a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plug-in), is accessed, this component causes the browser used by the data subject to download a corresponding representation of the component from LinkedIn. Further information about the LinkedIn plug-ins can be retrieved from https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. During this technical procedure, LinkedIn gains knowledge of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in to LinkedIn at the same time, LinkedIn recognizes with each call-up to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our website—which specific sub-page of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the LinkedIn component and associated with the respective LinkedIn account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the LinkedIn buttons integrated into our website, LinkedIn assigns this information to the personal LinkedIn user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.
LinkedIn always receives information via the LinkedIn component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to LinkedIn at the time of the call to our website; this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the LinkedIn component or not. If such transmission of information to LinkedIn is not desirable for the data subject, then they can prevent this by logging off from their LinkedIn account before a call-up to our website.
LinkedIn offers the possibility to unsubscribe from e-mail messages, SMS messages, and targeted ads, and to manage ad settings at https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls. LinkedIn also uses partners such as Quantcast, Google Analytics, BlueKai, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Comscore, Eloqua, and Lotame, which may set cookies. Such cookies can be rejected at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy. The applicable privacy policy of LinkedIn is available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy. LinkedIn's cookie policy is available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy.
The controller responsible for processing has integrated components of Xing on this website. Xing is an internet-based social network that enables users to connect with existing business contacts and to establish new business contacts. Individual users can create a personal profile on Xing. Companies can create corporate profiles or publish job offers on Xing.
The operating company of Xing is XING SE, Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg, Germany.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the controller responsible for processing and on which a Xing component (Xing plug-in) has been integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Xing component to download a display of the corresponding Xing component from Xing. Further information about the Xing plug-ins can be retrieved from https://dev.xing.com/plugins. During the course of this technical procedure, Xing gains knowledge of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in to Xing at the same time, Xing recognizes with each call-up to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our website which specific sub-page of our internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected by the Xing component and associated with the respective Xing account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks one of the Xing buttons integrated into our website, for example the "Share" button, then Xing assigns this information to the personal Xing user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.
Xing always receives information via the Xing component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Xing at the time of the call-up to our website; this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the Xing component or not. If such a transmission of information to Xing is not desirable for the data subject, then they can prevent this by logging off from their Xing account before a call-up to our website.
The data protection provisions published by Xing, which can be accessed at https://www.xing.com/privacy, provide information on the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Xing. Furthermore, Xing has published privacy notices for the XING Share button at https://www.xing.com/app/share?op=data_protection.
Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for our company, in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, then the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, then the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third parties. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal grounds if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business activities for the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.
The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract.
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contractual partner).
Sometimes, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with them. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee clarifies to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is legally or contractually required, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and the consequences of failure to provide the personal data.
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
