General

As the operator of this website and as a company, we come into contact with your personal data. This refers to all data that says something about you and with which you can be identified. In this privacy policy, we would like to explain in what way, for what purpose and on what legal basis we process your data.

Responsible for data processing on this website and in our company is:

we-IT GmbH
Cecinastr. 2
82205 Gilching

Phone: +49 89 5419954-70
E-mail: datenschutz@we-it.de

General notes

SSL or TLS encryption

When you enter your data on websites, place online orders or send e-mails over the Internet, you must always be prepared for unauthorized third parties to access your data. There is no complete protection against such access. However, we do our utmost to protect your data as best as possible and to close the security gaps as far as we are able.

An important protection mechanism is the SSL or TLS encryption of our website, which ensures that data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize the encryption by the lock icon in front of the entered internet address in your browser and by the fact that our internet address starts with https:// and not with http://.

How long do we store your data?

In some places in this privacy statement, we inform you about how long we or the companies that process your data on our behalf will store your data. In the absence of such information, we will store your data until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies, you object to the data processing or you revoke your consent to the data processing.

However, in the event of an objection or revocation, we may continue to process your data if at least one of the following conditions is met:

We have compelling legitimate grounds for continuing data processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms (only in the case of objection to data processing; if the objection is to direct marketing, we cannot provide legitimate grounds).

The data processing is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (does not apply if your objection is directed against direct marketing).

We are required by law to retain your data.

In this case, we will delete your data as soon as the requirement(s) cease to apply.

Data transfer to the USA

We also use tools from companies on our website that transmit your data to the USA and store and possibly process it there. This is particularly important for you because your data does not enjoy the same protection in the USA as it does within the EU, where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies. For example, U.S. companies are required to hand over personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It is therefore possible that U.S. authorities (e.g. intelligence agencies) process, evaluate and permanently store your data on U.S. servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Your rights

Objection to data processing

IF YOU READ IN THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT THAT WE HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS FOR PROCESSING YOUR DATA AND THEREFORE RELY ON ART. 6 ABS. 1 SET 1 LIT. F) DSGVO, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO IT PURSUANT TO ART. 21 DSGVO, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO IT. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING THAT TAKES PLACE ON THE BASIS OF THE AFOREMENTIONED PROVISION. IT IS A PREREQUISITE THAT YOU CITE REASONS FOR THE OBJECTION THAT ARISE FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. NO JUSTIFICATION IS REQUIRED IF THE OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING.

THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE OBJECTION IS THAT WE MAY NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR DATA. THIS DOES NOT APPLY ONLY IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS IS MET:

  • WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.
  • THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.

THE EXCEPTIONS DO NOT APPLY IF YOUR OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST DIRECT ADVERTISING OR AGAINST PROFILING THAT IS CONNECTED WITH IT.

Other rights

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are based on your consent. You do this, for example, by checking the appropriate box on online forms before submitting the form, or by allowing certain cookies when you visit our website. You can revoke your consent at any time without giving reasons (Art. 7 (3) DSGVO). From the time of revocation, we may then no longer process your data. The only exception is that we are required by law to retain the data for a certain period of time. Such retention periods exist in particular in tax and commercial law.

Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority

If you believe that we are in breach of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR. You may contact a supervisory authority in the Member State of your residence, place of work or the place where the alleged infringement took place. The right of appeal exists alongside administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

Data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract must be handed over to you or a third party in a common machine-readable format if you request this. We can only transfer the data to another controller if this is technically possible.

Right to information, deletion and correction of data

According to Art. 15 DSGVO, you have the right to receive information free of charge about which of your personal data we have stored, where the data comes from, to whom we transmit the data and for what purpose it is stored. If the data is incorrect, you have a right to rectification (Art. 16 DSGVO), under the conditions of Art. 17 DSGVO you may request that we delete the data.

Right to restriction of processing

In certain situations, you may request us to restrict the processing of your data in accordance with Art. 18 DSGVO. The data may then – apart from storage – only be processed as follows:

  • with your consent
  • for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims
  • to protect the rights of another natural or legal person
  • for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State

The right to restrict processing exists in the following situations:

  • You have disputed the accuracy of your personal data stored by us and we need time to verify this. Here the right exists for the duration of the test.
  • The processing of your personal data is unlawful or was unlawful in the past. Here the right exists alternatively to the deletion of the data.
  • We no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims. Here the right exists alternatively to the deletion of the data.
  • You have objection according to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and now your and our interests must be weighed against each other. Here the right exists as long as the result of the consideration has not yet been determined.

Hosting and Content Delivery Networks (CDN)

External hosting

Our website is located on a server of the following Internet service provider (hoster):

Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co. KG
Königsberger Street 4-6
32339 Espelkamp

Has an order processing contract been concluded with the hoster?
Yes

How do we process your data?

The hoster stores all the data of our website. This includes all personal data that is collected automatically or through your input. This can be in particular: Your IP address, pages viewed, names, contact details and requests, as well as meta and communication data. When processing data, Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co. KG will comply with our instructions and will always process the data only to the extent that this is necessary to fulfill its obligation to provide services to us.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

Since we address potential customers via our website and maintain contacts with existing customers, the data processing by our hoster serves to initiate and fulfill contracts and is therefore based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. In addition, it is our legitimate interest as a company to provide a professional Internet offering that meets the necessary requirements for security, speed and efficiency. In this respect, we also process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Data collection on this website

Cookies use

Our website places cookies on your device. These are small text files that are used for different purposes. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function at all (necessary cookies). Others are needed to perform certain actions or functions on the site (functional cookies). For example, without cookies, it would not be possible to take advantage of a shopping cart in an online store. Still other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or to optimize advertising measures. If we use third-party services on our website, e.g. to process payment transactions, these companies may also leave cookies on your device when you access the website (so-called third-party cookies).

How do we process your data?

Session cookies are stored on your device only for the duration of a session. So, as soon as you close the browser, they disappear by themselves. Permanent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device unless you delete them yourself. This may, for example, result in your user behavior being permanently analyzed. You can use the settings in your browser to influence how it handles cookies:

  • Do you want to be informed when cookies are set?
  • Do you want to exclude cookies in general or for certain cases?
  • Do you want cookies to be automatically deleted when you close the browser?

If you disable or do not allow cookies, the functionality of the website may be limited.

If we use cookies from other companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this as part of this privacy policy. We also request your consent in this regard when you access our website.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our online offerings can be used by visitors without technical problems and that all desired functions are available to them. The storage of necessary and functional cookies on your device is therefore based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. We set all other cookies on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO, provided that you give us the corresponding consent. You can revoke this at any time with effect for the future. If you have consented to the placement of necessary and functional cookies when requesting consent, these cookies will also be stored exclusively on the basis of your consent.

Server log files

Server log files log all requests and accesses to our website and record error messages. They also include personal data, in particular your IP address. However, this is anonymized by the provider after a short time, so that we cannot assign the data to your person. The data is automatically transmitted by your browser to our provider.

How do we process your data?

Our provider stores the server log files in order to be able to track the activities on our website and to locate errors. The files contain the following data:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address (anonymized if necessary)

We do not combine this data with other data, but use it only for statistical analysis and to improve our website.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our website runs without errors. It is also our legitimate interest to obtain an anonymized overview of the accesses to our website. The data processing is therefore permitted pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR lawful.

You can send us a message via the contact form on this website.

How do we process your data?

We store your message and the information from the form to be able to process your request including follow-up questions. This also applies to the contact details provided. We will not share the data with anyone else without your consent.

How long do we store your data?

On what legal basis do we process your data?

If your request is related to our contractual relationship or serves the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. In all other cases, it is our legitimate interest to effectively process requests addressed to us. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of your data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO the legal basis. In this case, you can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Request by e-mail, phone or fax

You can send us a message by e-mail or fax or call us.

How do we process your data?

We store your message as well as your self-made contact details or the transmitted phone number to be able to process your request including follow-up questions. We will not share the data with anyone else without your consent.

In order to use certain functions or offers on our website, you must register. For this purpose, it is necessary to provide your e-mail address and, if applicable, further personal data.

How do we process your data?

We store the data you provide during registration and use it to provide you with the function or offer for which you have registered. If there are any changes regarding the offer or the function, we will use your e-mail address to inform you. In addition, we use your e-mail address to make you further contract offers, if necessary.

How long do we store your data?

We delete your data as soon as one of the following occurs:

  • The purpose of the data processing has ceased to exist.
  • You request us to delete the data.
  • You revoke your consent to storage.

The only time this does not apply is when we are required by law to retain the data.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We store and use your data to fulfill the user relationship established during registration and, if necessary, to initiate further contracts. The legal basis is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

Social media plugins

Use of social media plugins

Regular use

We use social media plugins on our website. You can recognize them by the logos of the social networks. Thanks to the plugins, you can easily share the content on our website on social networks. Which plugins we use in detail can be seen in the list at the end of this section. Here you will also find the networks’ information relevant to data protection.

How do we process your data?

Due to the embedded plugins, a connection to the servers of the social networks is established when you visit our website. This happens even if you do not share any content. In this way, the offering companies learn that the website was visited via your IP address. If you are logged into your account on a social network when visiting our website, the transmitted data can also be assigned to your personal profile. If you don’t want to do that, you need to log out of your account before you continue browsing the Internet.

Except for Xing, all networks store the IP address. Other personal data may be added. In this process, your data is usually transferred to servers in the USA. If this is the case, you can find out the basis on which this is done in each case from the information on the networks given below.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

It is important for the success of our company to be present in the social networks. It is therefore our legitimate interest to use the social media plugins to ensure that the content of our website or our offers can be easily shared. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

If you have consented to data processing, we process your data exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time. From the time of revocation, we may no longer process your data.

We are always interested in optimizing our web offer for visitors to our website and in placing advertising in the best possible way. Google Analytics, a tool that analyzes user behavior and thus provides us with the necessary database for adjustments, helps us to do this. Through the tool, we receive information about the origin of our visitors, their page views and the time they spend on the pages, as well as the operating system they use.

Standard processing

To collect the data, Google Analytics uses cookies, device fingerprinting or other user recognition technologies. The data is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and, with the help of the IP address that is also recorded, summarized in a profile that can be assigned to you or your device.

You can prevent Google from processing your data by installing a browser plugin that Google itself provides:
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

Furthermore, we can use the user data available at Google (e.g. location data and interests) to place targeted advertisements (target group targeting). We evaluate the collected data quantitatively by analyzing, for example, which search terms led to the playout of our ads and how many ads resulted in corresponding clicks.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

As website operator, we have a legitimate interest in the placement and evaluation of advertisements. The data processing is therefore permitted pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR lawful.

Standard processing

Remarketing means that we analyze your behavior on our website in order to assign you to a specific advertising target group and subsequently display suitable advertising messages to you when you visit other websites. In addition, we link the advertising target groups with cross-device functions from Google. This allows us to display interest-based, personalized advertising messages customized to you based on your usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g., your cell phone) on another device (e.g., a tablet or PC).

Object to personalized advertising

You can adjust the advertising settings in your Google account. To do so, click on the following link and log in: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated. Outside of your Google account, you can object to personalized advertising at the following link:

With its help, we can record whether and how often visitors clicked on certain buttons on our website and which products were viewed and purchased particularly frequently (conversion statistics) . In the course of data collection and storage, we do not obtain information that allows us to personally identify individual visitors. Google itself uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies for identification.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

).

If you do not have a Facebook account: Disable usage-based advertising from Facebook on the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.

How do we process your data?

We use the Facebook Pixel on our website. The analytics tool helps us learn more about the behavior of visitors to our website after they click on one of our ads on Facebook. This allows us to measure how effective our Facebook ads are and align future advertising efforts with the insights we gain. The data that Facebook collects via the pixel is anonymous for us as the operator of this website. So we cannot identify you as a visitor. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook. Thus, Facebook establishes a connection to your Facebook account via the pixel and, in addition, uses the data to place advertisements itself within and outside the network (cf. Facebook Data Use Policy). In the course of storage and processing, Facebook also transmits the data to the USA and other third countries.

If you have a Facebook account, you can use the “Custom Audiences” remarketing function in this account in the Ad Settings section at
https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen
deactivate.

If you do not have a Facebook account, you have the option to disable usage-based advertising from Facebook on the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.

As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures in the social networks. The data processing is therefore permitted pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR lawful. In the event that you have consented, for example, to the storage of cookies or have otherwise consented to data processing by Facebook, only Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO the legal basis. You can revoke the consent at any time with effect for the future.

LinkedIn Insight Tag

What is LinkedIn Insight Tag?
User Behavior Analysis Tool of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company

Who processes your data?
LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland

Where can you find more information about LinkedIn Insight Tag privacy?
https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig

On what basis do we transfer your data to the USA?
LinkedIn Insight Tag adheres to the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses (cf.
https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/dpa%20und%20https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/eu-sccs
)

How can you prevent data processing?
By objecting to the analysis of your user behavior as well as targeted advertising by LinkedIn at the following link:
https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out
. If you have a LinkedIn account, you can also make settings there regarding the use of your personal data for advertising purposes.

How do we process your data?

We use the LinkedIn Insight tag on our website. The analysis tool helps us to learn more about the visitors to our website and to adapt our online offer accordingly. If our visitors are registered on LinkedIn, we can use the tool to analyze their key professional data such as career level, company size, country, location, industry and job title, among other things. In addition, it can be measured whether they buy something or take some other action (conversion measurement). This data is determined across all devices. Finally, LinkedIn Insight Tag provides a retargeting feature that allows us to display targeted ads to our visitors outside of our website. LinkedIn assures that individual advertising recipients cannot be identified in the process.

In addition to the aforementioned data, the analysis tool collects the following data from you when you visit our website: URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties, and the time of access. The IP addresses are shortened or pseudonymized. The latter happens when you want to be reached across devices as a LinkedIn member.

The data collected by LinkedIn is anonymous for us as the website operator. So we cannot identify you as a visitor. LinkedIn will, however, store your personal data on its servers in the USA and use it in the context of its own advertising measures.

You can prevent LinkedIn from linking the data collected on our website to your LinkedIn account by logging out of your account before you continue browsing the Internet. You can also prevent the use of your data for advertising purposes via corresponding settings in your account.

If you do not have a LinkedIn account, you can object to the analysis of your usage behavior as well as targeted advertising by LinkedIn at the following link:
https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out
.

How long do we store your data?

LinkedIn deletes the direct identifiers of LinkedIn members after 7 days. The remaining pseudonymized data is deleted within 180 days.

https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/#9._Jurisdiction-Specific_Terms

How do we process your data?

We use Mailchimp for our newsletter distribution. The service manages newsletter subscriber data for us, sends our newsletter and analyzes our newsletter campaigns.

If you would like to receive our newsletter, we need your e-mail address. We will also use a confirmation email (double opt-in procedure) to check whether you are really the owner of this email address. We do not collect any other data or only on a voluntary basis. We use your data exclusively for the newsletter dispatch. They are stored on a Mailchimp server in the USA.

If we send a newsletter via Mailchimp and you open it, a file contained in the newsletter automatically connects to Mailchimp’s servers. Thus, the service learns that the newsletter has been opened and registers all clicks on the links it contains. In addition, Mailchimp collects technical information, such as the time of the retrieval, the IP address, browser type and operating system.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time.

How long do we store your data?

After you have unsubscribed, the data will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list. Under certain circumstances, we may also blacklist your e-mail address; this is necessary, for example, if we receive an objection to advertising from you. The legal basis for storage in this case is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Furthermore, we reserve the right to delete the data at any time after the purpose for which it was collected has ceased to exist or at our own discretion.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

By entering the subscriber list, you consent to the data processing by Mailchimp. This is done lawfully on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent by unsubscribing from the newsletter or by sending us an informal message. For us, this means that we are no longer allowed to send you newsletters from this point on.

Handling of applicant data

If you would like to work for us, we will be happy to receive your application. We treat all transmitted personal data strictly confidential. This also applies to data that we collect later in the course of the application process.

How do we process your data?

We store and use all data that we collect as part of the application process insofar as this is necessary to decide whether to establish an employment relationship. In addition to contact and communication data and application documents, this also applies, for example, to notes that we take during job interviews. We will only pass on your data within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application.

In the event of a successful application, we store the data required for the implementation of the employment relationship in our data processing systems.

If we are unable to offer you a suitable position at present, we will be happy to include your data in our pool of applicants with your consent. This gives them the opportunity to contact you if a position becomes available that fits your profile.

How long do we store your data?

If we are unable to make you a job offer, you decline a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain your documents and other application data for up to 6 months after the application process has ended. The reason is that we may need the data for evidence purposes in the event of a legal dispute. After the deadline, we delete the data and destroy the documents. If litigation is actually imminent or already pending, we will delete the data and documents if they are no longer required for evidentiary purposes.

We delete data in the applicant pool no later than 2 years after consent has been given. If you revoke your consent before this period expires, we will delete it sooner.

The deletion of your data always requires that we are not legally obligated to keep it longer.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We process your applicant data on the basis of § 26 BDSG-neu (initiation of an employment relationship) and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR (general contract initiation).

The same applies if your application is successful.
