Data Protection Declaration: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de

DoubleClick uses cookies for the purpose of placing advertisements that are relevant for the user, enhance the reports on the campaign performance, or in order to avoid a situation whereby a user is repeatedly presented with the same advertisements. Google uses a cookie ID in order to record which advertisements are placed in which browser, it then being able to prevent these from being placed numerous times. DoubleClick can also use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are connected to advertisement requests. This is the case for example, if a user sees a DoubleClick advertisement and uses the same browser later in order to access the website of the advertiser and purchase something there. According to information from Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information.

The marketing tool that is used automatically establishes a connection with the Google server. We are unable to influence the scope and the further use of the data that Google collects as a result of it using this tool and we can therefore only provide you with the information that we currently have: The implementation of DoubleClick provides Google with the information that the corresponding part of our website has been accessed or that you have clicked on our advertisement. Should you be registered with a service that is provided by Google, Google can allocate the visit to your account. Even if you should not be registered with Google or should you not have logged in, there is still the possibility that the provider shall gain knowledge of your IP address and store it.

You can prevent the participation in this tracking procedure by various ways and means:

with a corresponding setting in your browser software – the suppressing of cookies from third-party providers results in you no longer receiving any advertisements from third-party providers;

by deactivating the conversion tracing cookies, by setting your browser so that cookies from the www.googleadservices.com domain are blocked (https://www.google.de/settings/ads). This setting shall be erased should you erase your cookies; by deactivating the interest-related advertisements from the provider that are a part of the “About Ads” self-regulation campaign (using the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices). This setting is erased should you erase your cookies; with a permanent deactivation in your Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Google Chrome browser (plugins are available using the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin). We wish to point out that it could be possible that you shall not be able to make full use of the functions offered by this website in this case.

application process / employee data

Personal data is fundamentally collected direct from you – or in the scope of the application process – on the basis of Sect. 26 subsect. 1 GDPR in the version from 25 May 2018. It is also possible that we could receive data from third parties (e.g. job portals such as Indeed, job placement). The processed categories of personal data from employees especially include their master data (such as first name, surname, name suffixes, nationality, personnel number), contact data (such as the private address, (mobile) telephone number, email address) and the data from the entire application process (letter of application, curriculum vitae, (employment) references, proof of qualification). Should you also voluntarily provide information on special categories of personal data (such as your state of health, religion, degree of a disability) in your letter of application or during the application process, this shall only be processed if you have consented to this. The personal employee and applicant data shall be processed on the basis of and with adherence to the European Data Protection Regulation (EU DS-GVO), the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and all other regulations that are decisive in German labour law (e.g. European General Equal Treatment Act (GETA), the German Works Constitution Act (BetrVG) and the German Social Security Code (SGB), etc.). The processing of your personal data in the scope of the application process, primarily serves to conduct the application process, especially the determination of the extent to which an applicant is suitable for the advertised position. The processing of your applicant data is hereby necessary for the making of a decision on the establishing of an employment relationship. The primary legal basis for this is Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with Sect. 26 subsection 1 BDSG. Only those persons and positions within the company are provided with your personal data to the extent that is necessary for the making of a decision on your appointment and in order for us to meet our legal and contractual obligations. As a deviation from this, we only transmit your personal data – to investigating authorities for example –, if we are under a legal obligation to do so. The transferred personal applicant data shall be erased as soon as they are no longer required for the aforementioned purposes; 6 months at the latest. This is not the case if you have consented to a longer storage duration, The storage is necessary for evidential purposes, or if legal regulations should contradict an erasure. We retain your applicant data as long as there is a possibility that you could assert legal claims against our company, e.g. on the ground of an infringement of AGG provisions. Should your application result in a contract of employment relationship being established with you, we shall continue to store and use your data for the customary administrative and organisational processes and in order for us to conduct the employment relationship under observation of the valid legal provisions. 

What are my rights as the data subject?

As is the case with all of the other data subjects, applicants and employees obviously have the data subject rights pursuant to Art. 15 to 22 GDPR. You have the right to file a complaint with the aforementioned Data Protection Officer.
