General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, then we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, if special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR are processed. If you have granted express consent to the transmission of personal data to third states, then data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (such as via device fingerprinting), then data processing is also carried out on the basis of Sec. 25 par. 1 TTDSG.

The following paragraphs of this data privacy policy provide information on the relevant legal bases in each individual case.
Information on data transmission to the USA and other third states
In some cases, we use tools from companies headquartered in the USA or other third states that are not secure from a data protection law standpoint. If these tools are active, your personal data can be transmitted to these third states and processed there. Please note that these countries do not guarantee a level of data protection that is comparable to that in the EU. For example, US companies are obligated to provide personal data to security agencies, and you as a data subject have no recourse against this in court. Therefore, it is possible that US authorities (such as secret services) can process, analyse, and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence over this processing.
Revoking your permission to process data
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke an existing consent at any time. The legality of the processing performed until the revocation is not affected by the recall.
Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 of the GDPR)
IF DATA IS PROCESSED BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LETTER E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS RESULTING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE TERMS. PLEASE REFER TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY FOR THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED. IF YOU LODGE AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL INFORMATION, UNLESS WE CAN PROVIDE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE REASONS FOR PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOM OR IF PROCESSING SERVES THE PURPOSE OF MAINTAINING, EXERCISING, OR DEFENDING LEGAL RIGHTS (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).
WHEN YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO SUCH PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AT ANY TIME; THIS ALSO APPLIES FOR PROFILING, IN SO FAR AS IT IS CONNECTED TO THIS DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU DO SO, YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE DIRECT ADVERTISING (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).
Right to submit complaints to the responsible supervisory authority
In the case of breaches of the GDPR, the interested parties are entitled to appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their workplace or the place of suspected infringement. The right of appeal is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to demand that the data we process automatically based on your consent or fulfilment of a contract, be provided to you or a third party in a standard machine-readable format. If you require data to be transferred directly to another responsible person, this will only be done if technically feasible.
Information, Deletion and Correction
At any time, you have the right to receive, free of charge, information about your personal information that is stored, its source and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, if necessary, you have the right for this data to be corrected or deleted, in accordance with applicable law. If you have any other questions about this or about your personal data, you can contact us at any time.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request that the processing of your personal information is restricted. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restrict processing is relevant in the following cases:
- If you disagree with the accuracy of your personal information we have saved, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal information is restricted.
- If the processing of your personal information has been/is unlawful, you may request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of being deleted.
- If we no longer need your personal information, but you need it to exercise, defend or enforce legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal information is restricted instead being deleted.
- If you have lodged an appeal under Art. 21 Para. 1 of the GDPR, your interests are weighed against our interests. You have the right to request that the processing of your personal information be restricted until it is determined that your interests outweigh our interests.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal information, this data may only be processed (does not include storage) with your consent or for the purpose of enforcing, exercising or defending any right or rights of any other person or entity or for reasons of important public interest in the European Union or in a Member State.

Newsletter data
If you would like to receive the newsletter available via the website, we need you to provide us with an email address and information to verify that you are the owner of the email address you provide and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No additional data is collected, or such data is only collected on a voluntary basis. We use newsletter service providers to deliver the newsletter, which are described in the following section.
CleverReach
This site uses CleverReach to send newsletters. The provider is CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Schafjückenweg 2, 26180 Rastede, Germany (hereinafter referred to as “CleverReach”). CleverReach is a service that allows you to organise and analyse the delivery of newsletters. The data you enter in order to receive the newsletter (such as your email address) is stored on CleverReach's servers in Germany or Ireland.
Our newsletter, delivered through CleverReach, allows us to analyse the behaviour of newsletter recipients. We can analyse, for instance, how many recipients open the newsletter message and how often they click on links in the newsletter, as well as which links they click. We can also use so-called conversion tracking to analyse whether a pre-defined action (such as purchasing a product on this website) is completed after a user clicks the link in the newsletter. Further information on data analysis by CleverReach is available at: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/funktionen/reporting-und-tracking/.
Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can unsubscribe at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already performed is not affected by the revocation.
If you do not wish CleverReach to analyse your actions, you will have to unsubscribe. We provide a link to this in each newsletter message.
The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you have cancelled your subscription. This does not affect data that has been stored with us for other purposes.
Once you are removed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be blacklisted by us or the newsletter service provider, if this is required to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used for this purpose only and is not merged with any other data. This serves both your interests and our interests in complying with the legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 Para. 1 letter f GDPR). Data is stored in the blacklist for an unlimited term. You may disagree with storage as long as your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
For more information, see the CleverReach privacy policy at: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/datenschutz/.

8. Our own services
Handling of applicant data
We offer you the opportunity to apply for a job with us (e.g. by email, post or via an online application form). In the following, we will inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data is carried out in accordance with the applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.
Scope and purpose of data collection
If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide whether to establish an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR (general contract initiation) and – if you have given your consent – Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time. Within our company, your personal data will be shared only with individuals involved in processing your application.
If your application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Article 6 (1b) GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.
Data retention period
If we are unable to offer you a job, if you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to store the data you have provided for up to six months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application) on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). After that, the data will be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. The storage serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the six-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will only be deleted once the purpose for further storage no longer applies.
Longer storage may also take place if you have given your corresponding consent (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if statutory storage obligations prevent erasure.
Inclusion in the pool of applicants
If we do not make you a job offer, there may be an opportunity to include you in our pool of applicants. If you are accepted, all documents and information from your application will be transferred to the pool of applicants so that we can contact you if suitable vacancies arise.
Admission to the applicant pool is based solely on your explicit consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). Consent is given voluntarily and is not related to the ongoing application process. The data subject can revoke his or her consent at any time. In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool, provided there are no legal grounds for retention.
The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been granted.
Use of other service providers
We use the platforms Karriere Südwestfalen (provider: ontavio GmbH, Hundemstraße 2, 57368 Lennestadt) and StaffingUP (provider: staffingUP GmbH, Alte Eisenstraße 23-25, 57258 Freudenberg) to publish job advertisements and offer applicants the opportunity to submit applications.
