If, as part of our processing, we disclose data to other people and companies (processors or third parties), transfer it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this will only be done on the basis of legal permission (e.g. if a transfer of the data to third parties, such as payment service providers, is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. b GDPR), you have consented, a legal obligation requires this or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g Use of agents, web hosts, etc.).

If we commission third parties to process data on the basis of a so-called “order processing contract”, this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.

Cookies are small files that are stored on users’ computers. Various types of information can be stored within cookies. A cookie primarily serves to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or even after their visit to an online service. Temporary cookies, also known as “session cookies” or “transient cookies,” are deleted after a user leaves an online service and closes their browser. Such a cookie might, for example, store the contents of a shopping cart in an online store or a login status. “Permanent” or “persistent” cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed. These can be used, for example, to save login status so that users remain logged in when they return to the site after several days. Similarly, user interests can be stored in such a cookie for audience measurement or marketing purposes. Third-party cookies are cookies that are offered by providers other than the operator of the online service (otherwise, if they are only the operator’s own cookies, they are called first-party cookies).

We can use temporary and permanent cookies and explain this in our data protection declaration.

If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to deactivate the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Saved cookies can be deleted in the browser’s system settings. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional restrictions of this online offer.

A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be declared for a large number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by switching them off in the browser settings. Please note that not all functions of this online offer may then be able to be used.

The hosting services we use serve to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services and technical maintenance services, which we use for the purpose of operating this online offering.

In doing so, we, or our hosting provider, process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data from customers, interested parties and visitors to this online offer on the basis of our legitimate interests in the efficient and secure provision of this online offer in accordance with Art.

We process data as part of administrative tasks such as organizing our operations, financial accounting and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving. In doing so, we process the same data that we process as part of the provision of our contractual services. The basis for processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter c. GDPR, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. Customers, interested parties, business partners and website visitors are affected by the processing. The purpose and our interest in the processing lies in administration, financial accounting, office organization, archiving of data, i.e. tasks that serve to maintain our business activities, carry out our tasks and provide our services. The deletion of data with regard to contractual services and contractual communication corresponds to the information provided in these processing activities.

We disclose or transmit data to the tax authorities, consultants such as tax advisors or auditors as well as other fee offices and payment service providers.

Furthermore, based on our business interests, we store information about suppliers, organizers and other business partners, e.g. for the purpose of later contact. We generally store this mostly company-related data permanently.

We process the applicant data only for the purpose and as part of the application process in accordance with the legal requirements. The processing of applicant data takes place to fulfill our (pre-)contractual obligations as part of the application process within the meaning of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b. GDPR Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR if the data processing is necessary for us, for example in the context of legal proceedings (in Germany, Section 26 BDSG also applies).

The application process requires that applicants provide us with their applicant data. If we offer an online form, the necessary applicant data is marked; otherwise it can be found in the job descriptions and, in principle, this includes personal information, postal and contact addresses and the documents associated with the application, such as a cover letter, CV and certificates. Applicants can also voluntarily provide us with additional information.

By submitting the application to us, applicants agree to the processing of their data for the purposes of the application process in accordance with the type and scope set out in this data protection declaration.

If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR are voluntarily communicated as part of the application process, their processing will also take place in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. b GDPR (e.g. health data, such as severely disabled status or ethnic origin). If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR are requested from applicants as part of the application process, their processing will also take place in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a GDPR (e.g. health data if these are necessary for professional practice).

If provided, applicants can submit their applications to us using an online form on our website. The data is transmitted to us in encrypted form in accordance with the state of the art. Applicants can also send us their applications via email. However, we ask you to note that emails are generally not sent encrypted and applicants must ensure encryption themselves. We cannot therefore assume any responsibility for the transmission path of the application between the sender and receipt on our server and therefore recommend using an online form or sending it by post. Instead of applying via the online form and email, applicants still have the option of sending us the application by post.

If the application is successful, the data provided by the applicants can 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, which applicants are entitled to do at any time.

The deletion will take place, subject to a legitimate revocation by the applicant, after a period of six months has elapsed so that we can answer any follow-up questions about the application and meet our obligations to provide proof under the Equal Treatment Act. Invoices for any reimbursement of travel expenses are archived in accordance with tax law requirements.

When contacting us (e.g. via contact form, email, telephone or via social media), the user’s information is processed to process the contact request and process it in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b) GDPR. User information can be stored in a customer relationship management system (“CRM system”) or comparable inquiry organization.

We delete the requests if they are no longer necessary. We review the necessity every two years; The statutory archiving obligations also apply.

The newsletter is sent by the shipping service provider CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede, Germany. You can view the shipping service provider’s data protection regulations here: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/datenschutz/. The shipping service provider is used on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR and an order processing contract in accordance with Article 28 Paragraph 3 Sentence 1 of the GDPR.

Der Versanddienstleister kann die Daten der Empfänger in pseudonymer Form, d.h. ohne Zuordnung zu einem Nutzer, zur Optimierung oder Verbesserung der eigenen Services nutzen, z.B. zur technischen Optimierung des Versandes und der Darstellung der Newsletter oder für statistische Zwecke verwenden. Der Versanddienstleister nutzt die Daten unserer Newsletterempfänger jedoch nicht, um diese selbst anzuschreiben oder um die Daten an Dritte weiterzugeben.

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e., our interest in analyzing, optimizing, and operating our online services economically, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR), we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about users’ use of the online services is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA.

Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and thus guarantees compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate users’ use of our online services, to compile reports on activity within these online services, and to provide us with other services related to the use of these online services and internet usage. Pseudonymous user profiles may be created from the processed data.

We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. This means that Google shortens the IP address of users within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser is not merged with other Google data. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting their browser settings; furthermore, users can prevent Google from collecting and processing data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the online service by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Further information on data usage by Google, setting and opt-out options can be found in Google’s privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) and in the settings for the display of advertisements by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

Users’ personal data will be deleted or anonymized after 14 months.

We embed videos from the platform “YouTube” provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

We integrate maps from the “Google Maps” service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The data processed may include, in particular, users’ IP addresses and location data, which, however, are not collected without their consent (usually obtained through their mobile device settings). The data may be processed in the USA. Privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

This may include content such as images, videos, or text, as well as buttons that allow users to express their approval of the content, follow the content creators, or subscribe to our posts. If users are members of the Twitter platform, Twitter may associate the access of the aforementioned content and features with their Twitter profiles. Twitter is certified under the Privacy Shield Framework and thus guarantees compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TORzAAO&status=Active).

Contact and Inquiry Management
For the provision of contact, inquiry, or application forms, we use an external service provider: Perspective Software GmbH, Mailbox 659770, D96035 Bamberg (hereinafter “Perspective”). Perspective itself stores your data exclusively on European servers. However, there is a possibility that your data may be accessible to entities in the United States of America because Perspective uses sub-processors located in the USA. Since the European Commission has determined that the data protection laws of the United States do not ensure an adequate level of protection for personal data collected from data subjects in the European Union, Perspective offers additional measures and safeguards for data transfers to the United States in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR to ensure an adequate level of protection. This includes, for example, the conclusion of standard contractual clauses between Perspective and the sub-processors.

I. Description and Scope of Data Processing
When you use Perspective’s contact, inquiry, or application forms, the following data is transmitted to Perspective’s servers:
• Date and time of access
• Websites from which you accessed our website (“referrer”)
• Contextual information (e.g., button clicks on the pages, selections made on the pages)
• Content of all completed text fields (e.g., contact details such as your name or address, or other personal data, depending on the specific question in the text field)
• Files you upload

II. Purpose and Legal Basis of Data Processing
The purpose of this data processing is to ensure the communication you have initiated.
The processing of your data from contact, inquiry, or application forms is therefore initially based on your consent. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. If a contract is initiated via an inquiry form, the legal basis is also Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The legal basis for processing data in an application form may be, in addition to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, Article 88 GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).

III. Duration of Processing
Your personal data will be stored for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the processing purpose, or until you withdraw your consent. This principle does not apply to data that Perspective is legally obligated to retain. This includes, for example, commercial and tax law retention requirements. These retention periods are – currently – up to ten years.

IV. Data Subject Rights
You have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for any further questions regarding data protection, you can contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the
competent supervisory authority in the event of violations of the GDPR.
You can revoke your consent to data processing at any time by sending us an informal notification (e.g., by email). The revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent before its revocation.
You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
• If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
• If you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between your interests and ours must be carried out. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

Meta (Facebook) Pixel
This website uses Facebook’s visitor action pixel for conversion tracking. The provider of this service is Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. According to Facebook, the collected data is also transferred to the USA and other third countries. This allows the behavior of website visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This allows the effectiveness of Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising campaigns to be optimized.
The collected data is anonymous for us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, so a connection to the respective user profile is possible, and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook Data Policy. This allows Facebook to display ads on Facebook pages as well as outside of Facebook. We, as the website operator, have no influence over this use of data.

The use of Facebook Pixel is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including those on social media. If corresponding consent has been requested (e.g., consent to the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR; this consent can be revoked at any time. Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum and https://dede.facebook.com/help/566994660333381.
Insofar as personal data is collected on our website and forwarded to Facebook using the tool described here, we and Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, are jointly responsible for this data processing (Article 26 GDPR). The joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of data and its transfer to Facebook. The processing by Facebook after the transfer is not part of the joint responsibility. Our joint obligations are set out in a joint controllership agreement. You can find the text of the agreement at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing data protection information when using the Facebook tool and for the data protection-compliant implementation of the tool on our website. Facebook is responsible for the data security of its products. You can assert your data subject rights (e.g., requests for access to your data) regarding data processed by Facebook directly with Facebook.
If you assert your data subject rights with us, we are obligated to forward them to Facebook.
Further information on protecting your privacy can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
You can also deactivate the “Custom Audiences” remarketing feature in the ad settings at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. You must be logged in to Facebook to do this. If you do not have a Facebook account, you can deactivate Facebook’s interest-based advertising on the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.

(for application forms via Perspective)

For the technical processing and forwarding of the data transmitted via our application form (Perspective), we use the automation service Make.com, an offer from Celonis SE, Theresienstraße 6, 80333 Munich, as well as other European branches (including Prague, Czech Republic).

Make.com processes the personal data you enter in the application form (e.g., name, contact details, answers to qualification questions, uploaded documents) exclusively within the framework of commissioned data processing in accordance with Article 28 GDPR and only for the purpose of automated transmission to our internal applicant management system. Make does not use or share the data independently.

Since Make.com is operated within the European Economic Area (EEA), data processing takes place without transferring data to a third country that is not adequate under data protection law.

The legal basis for processing your data is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (initiation of an employment relationship). You can object to the processing of your personal data at any time, unless there are compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms.

Delikant Feinkost GmbH has appointed a data protection officer in accordance with Section 38 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG):

Visitors and users of the online service (hereinafter we will refer to the persons concerned collectively as “users”).

“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as “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 (e.g. a cookie) or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

“Processing” means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means. The term is broad and encompasses virtually any handling of data.

‘Pseudonymisation’ means 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 organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person;

„Profiling“ jede Art der automatisierten Verarbeitung personenbezogener Daten, die darin besteht, dass diese personenbezogenen Daten verwendet werden, um bestimmte persönliche Aspekte, die sich auf eine natürliche Person beziehen, zu bewerten, insbesondere um Aspekte bezüglich Arbeitsleistung, wirtschaftliche Lage, Gesundheit, persönliche Vorlieben, Interessen, Zuverlässigkeit, Verhalten, Aufenthaltsort oder Ortswechsel dieser natürlichen Person zu analysieren oder vorherzusagen;

The term “controller” refers to 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.

“Processor” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller;

In accordance with Article 32 GDPR, 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 varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.

These measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as access to, input of, transfer of, and ensuring the availability and separation of the data. Furthermore, we have established procedures that guarantee the exercise of data subject rights, the deletion of data, and responses to data breaches. We also consider the protection of personal data during the development and selection of hardware, software, and processes, in accordance with the principles of data protection by design and by default (Article 25 GDPR).

If we process data in 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 disclosing or transferring data to third parties, this will only be done if it is necessary for fulfilling our (pre-)contractual obligations, based on your consent, due to a legal obligation, or based on our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we will only process or have data processed in a third country if the special requirements of Articles 44 et seq. of the GDPR are met. This means, for example, that processing takes place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognized finding of a level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU (e.g., for the USA through the “Privacy Shield”) or compliance with officially recognized specific contractual obligations (so-called “standard contractual clauses”).

In the event of possible violations of data protection regulations, you have the right to contact the relevant supervisory authority. The contact details are:

You can object to the future processing of your personal data at any time in accordance with Article 21 of the GDPR. This objection can be made, in particular, against processing for direct marketing purposes.

The data we process will be erased or its processing restricted in accordance with Articles 17 and 18 of the GDPR. Unless expressly stated otherwise in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be erased as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and there are no legal obligations to retain it. If the data is not erased because it is required for other legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This means that the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons.

In accordance with legal requirements in Germany, records are retained for 10 years in particular pursuant to Sections 147 Paragraph 1 AO, 257 Paragraph 1 Nos. 1 and 4, Paragraph 4 HGB (books, records, management reports, accounting documents, ledgers, tax-relevant documents, etc.) and for 6 years pursuant to Section 257 Paragraph 1 Nos. 2 and 3, Paragraph 4 HGB (commercial correspondence).

According to legal requirements in Austria, records must be retained for 7 years in particular pursuant to § 132 para. 1 BAO (accounting records, receipts/invoices, accounts, vouchers, business papers, statements of income and expenses, etc.), for 22 years in connection with real estate and for 10 years for documents relating to electronically supplied services, telecommunications, broadcasting and television services provided to non-entrepreneurs in EU member states and for which the Mini One-Stop Shop (MOSS) is used.

We, or rather our hosting provider, collect data about every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files) based on our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Access data includes the name of the accessed website, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address, and the requesting provider.

Log file information is stored for a maximum of 7 days for security reasons (e.g., to investigate misuse or fraud) and then deleted. Data that needs to be retained for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until the respective incident has been fully resolved.

In order to operate our business efficiently and to identify market trends, customer and user needs, we analyze the data we have on business transactions, contracts, inquiries, etc. We process inventory data, communication data, contract data, payment data, usage data, and metadata on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR, whereby the data subjects include customers, prospective customers, business partners, visitors, and users of the online service.

The analyses are conducted for the purposes of business evaluations, marketing, and market research. In doing so, we may consider the profiles of registered users, including information such as the services they have used. These analyses help us improve user-friendliness, optimize our offerings, and enhance our business efficiency. The analyses are for our internal use only and will not be disclosed externally, unless they are anonymous analyses with aggregated data.

If these analyses or profiles are personally identifiable, they will be deleted or anonymized upon termination of the user’s account; otherwise, they will be deleted two years after the contract was concluded. Furthermore, company-wide business analyses and general trend assessments will be created anonymously whenever possible.

Users can create a user account. During registration, users are informed of the required mandatory information, which is processed on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b GDPR for the purpose of providing the user account. The processed data includes, in particular, login information (name, password, and email address). The data entered during registration is used for the purposes of using the user account and its intended purpose.

Users may be informed via email about information relevant to their user account, such as technical changes. If users have terminated their user account, their data relating to the user account will be deleted, subject to any statutory retention obligations. It is the users’ responsibility to back up their data before the end of the contract if they have terminated their account. We are entitled to irretrievably delete all user data stored during the contract period.

When you use our registration and login functions, as well as your user account, we store your IP address and the time of each action. This storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as the user’s interest in protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. We generally do not share this data with third parties, unless it is necessary for pursuing our legal claims or we are legally obligated to do so pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. IP addresses are anonymized or deleted no later than 7 days after collection.

The following information explains the content of our newsletter, the registration, distribution, and statistical analysis procedures, as well as your rights to object. By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to receive it and to the procedures described.

Newsletter content: We only send newsletters, emails, and other electronic notifications containing promotional information (hereinafter “newsletters”) with the recipient’s consent or where legally permitted. If the newsletter’s content is specifically described during the registration process, this description is decisive for the user’s consent. Otherwise, our newsletters contain information about our services and our company.

Double opt-in and logging: Subscription to our newsletter uses a double opt-in process. This means that after registering, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription. This confirmation is necessary to prevent anyone from subscribing using someone else’s email address. Newsletter subscriptions are logged to document the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes recording the time of registration and confirmation, as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored with the email service provider are also logged.

Registration details: To subscribe to the newsletter, simply provide your email address. Optionally, you can also provide your name for personalized addressing in the newsletter.

The newsletter is sent and its success is measured on the basis of the recipients’ consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR in conjunction with § 7 para. 2 no. 3 UWG or on the basis of the legal permission pursuant to § 7 para. 3 UWG.

The registration process is logged based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our interest lies in the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves both our business interests and meets user expectations, and also allows us to provide proof of consent.

Cancellation/Revocation – You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time, i.e., revoke your consent. You will find an unsubscribe link at the end of each newsletter. We may store unsubscribed email addresses for up to three years based on our legitimate interests before deleting them, in order to be able to prove previously given consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of defending against potential claims. An individual deletion request is possible at any time, provided that the prior existence of consent is confirmed.

The newsletters contain a so-called “web beacon,” i.e., a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server, or, if we use a mailing service provider, from their server, when the newsletter is opened. During this retrieval, technical information such as browser and system information, as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval, are collected.

This information is used to technically improve our services based on technical data or target groups and their reading behavior, including their location (determined using their IP address) and access times. Statistical analysis also includes determining whether newsletters are opened, when they are opened, and which links are clicked. While this information can be technically associated with individual newsletter recipients, it is neither our intention, nor, if applicable, that of our email service provider, to monitor individual users. Rather, the analyses help us understand our users’ reading habits and tailor our content accordingly, or send different content based on their interests.

Within our online services, we use content or service offerings from third-party providers based on our legitimate interests (i.e., our interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online services within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter referred to collectively as “Content”).

This always requires that the third-party providers of this content are aware of the users’ IP addresses, as they could not send the content to their browsers without them. The IP address is therefore necessary for displaying this content. We strive to use only content from providers who use the IP address solely for delivering the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. These pixel tags allow information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website to be analyzed. The pseudonymized information can also be stored in cookies on the users’ devices and may include, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit, and other information about the use of our online services, as well as be combined with such information from other sources.

We integrate the bot detection function, e.g., for entries in online forms (“ReCaptcha”), from the provider Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e., our interest in analyzing, optimizing, and operating our online services economically, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR), we use social plugins (“plugins”) from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). The plugins can display interactive elements or content (e.g., videos, graphics, or text posts) and are recognizable by one of the Facebook logos (a white “f” on a blue tile, the terms “Like” or “Gefällt mir,” or a “thumbs up” icon) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin.” The list and appearance of the Facebook social plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).

When a user accesses a feature of this online service that contains such a plugin, their device establishes a direct connection to Facebook’s servers. The plugin’s content is transmitted directly from Facebook to the user’s device and integrated into the online service. Usage profiles of users can be created from the processed data. We therefore have no control over the scope of data that Facebook collects using this plugin and are informing users accordingly, based on our current knowledge.

By integrating these plugins, Facebook receives information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the website. If the user is logged into Facebook, Facebook can associate the visit with their Facebook account. When users interact with the plugins, for example, by clicking the Like button or leaving a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from their device to Facebook and stored there. Even if a user is not a member of Facebook, it is still possible that Facebook will learn and store their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany.

The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Facebook, as well as the related rights and settings options for protecting users’ privacy, can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about them via this website and link it to their Facebook profile data, they must log out of Facebook and delete their cookies before using our website. Further settings and options to object to the use of data for advertising purposes are available within the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. These settings are platform-independent, meaning they apply to all devices, such as desktop computers and mobile devices.

Our website may include features and content from the Xing service, offered by XING AG, Dammtorstraße 29-32, 20354 Hamburg, Germany. This may include content such as images, videos, or text, as well as buttons that allow users to express their approval of the content, subscribe to the content creators, or subscribe to our posts. If users are members of the Xing platform, Xing may associate the access of the aforementioned content and features with their Xing profiles. Xing’s privacy policy can be found here: https://www.xing.com/app/share?op=data_protection.

Perspective Software
We use an external service provider to provide our online services: Perspective Software GmbH, Mailbox 659770, D-96035 Bamberg (hereinafter “Perspective”). Perspective itself stores your data exclusively on European servers. However, it is possible that your data may be accessible to entities in the United States of America, as Perspective uses sub-processors located in the USA. Since the European Commission has determined that the data protection laws of the United States do not ensure an adequate level of protection for personal data collected from data subjects in the European Union, Perspective offers additional measures and safeguards for data transfers to the United States in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR to ensure an adequate level of protection. For example, by concluding standard contractual clauses between Perspective and the sub-processors.

I. Description and Scope of Data Processing
Perspective processes your data on our behalf so that we can provide you with our online services. For this purpose, Perspective automatically receives your IP address to deliver the content and functions of our online services to your browser or device.
The following data may be collected:

2. Your computer’s operating system
3. Your internet service provider
4. Your device’s IP address
5. Date and time of your access to the funnel
6. Websites from which you accessed our website (“referrer”)

This is done to ensure:
• a smooth connection to the website,
• a user-friendly experience on our website,
• the evaluation of system security and stability, and
• other administrative purposes.
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is also necessary to enable delivery of the website to your computer. For this purpose, your computer’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session. Our legitimate interest in data processing lies in these purposes. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

III. Duration of Processing
The personal data processed by Perspective will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected:
• In the case of data collected for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
• In the case of storing the IP address in log files, this is the case after a maximum of 7 days.

IV. Data Subject Rights
You have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time regarding the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data.

For this purpose, as well as for any further questions regarding data protection, you can contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the event of violations of the GDPR.
Because the data processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims (objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR). Since the collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is essential for the operation of our website, you will generally not have the option to object. Furthermore, you have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. The right to
restrict processing exists in the following cases:
• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing
of your personal data.

Katiba Technology stores data exclusively on servers in Germany, with the exception of emails, which may be sent outside the EU according to the terms of the contract. However, the data transmitted is limited to non-personal information. This facilitates the selection process among numerous applicants. To enable the aforementioned, your data will be transferred to Katiba Technology UG (limited liability) and processed there for the intended purpose.

IV. Data Subject Rights
You have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time regarding the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for any further questions regarding data protection, you can contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the event of violations of the GDPR. You can revoke your consent to data processing at any time by sending us an informal notification (e.g., by email). The revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out based on the consent before its revocation.
You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
• If you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between your interests and ours must be carried out. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
