The periods specified there for storage and documentation are then up to ten years. If the data is no longer required for the fulfillment of contractual or legal obligations, it is regularly deleted.

In addition to the above information, an overview of your other data protection rights follows below:

II. Provisions for applicants

Purposes for which the personal data are processed and the legal bases for the processing

We process the data you have sent us in connection with your application in order to assess your suitability for the position (or other open positions in our companies, if applicable) and to carry out the application process.

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in this application procedure is primarily § 26 BDSG. Accordingly, the processing of data required in connection with the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship is permissible.

Furthermore, we may process personal data about you if this is necessary for the fulfillment of legal obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DS-GVO, e.g. reimbursement of travel expenses) as well as for the defense of asserted legal claims against us arising from the application process. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO; the legitimate interest is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). If there is a need for longer-term storage (e.g. for further vacant positions or positions that become vacant), this will be done on the basis of your consent in writing (pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO). The same applies to the transfer of your application data to other companies in our group of companies.

Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 para. 1 DS-GVO are communicated, their processing is additionally carried out in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b DS-GVO in connection with § 26 para. 3 BDSG (e.g. severely disabled status). Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 para. 1 DS-GVO are requested from applicants, their processing is additionally carried out in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DS-GVO in connection with § 26 para. 2 and para. 3 sentence 2 BDSG (e.g. health data if this is necessary for the exercise of the profession).

Sources and categories of personal data processed

We process personal data that we receive from you or recruiters as part of the application process, such as, in particular, personal master data (name, address and other contact data, date and place of birth, nationality), bank details (for the purpose of travel expense reimbursement), qualification documents (e.g. certificates, evaluations and other proof of training), IP addresses and photographs.

Recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data

If provided, applicants may submit their applications to us using an online form on our website. The data is transmitted to us encrypted according to the state of the art. Furthermore, applicants can send us their documents by e-mail. Please note, however, that e-mails are generally not sent in encrypted form and applicants must ensure that they are encrypted themselves. Therefore, we cannot take responsibility for the transmission path of the application between the sender and the reception on our server and therefore recommend using an online form or postal delivery.

Your data will be sifted by the personnel department after receipt of your application. Suitable applications are then made available internally to the persons responsible for the respective open position, and if necessary also to the works council. In principle, only those persons in the company have access to your data who need it for the proper conduct of the application process.

We may transfer your personal data to companies affiliated with us, insofar as this is permissible within the framework of the purposes and legal bases set out in section 3. Furthermore, personal data is processed on our behalf on the basis of contracts pursuant to Art. 28 DS-GVO, this applies in particular to IT service providers, cloud computing and applicant management systems and software. Recruiters may also be engaged as part of the application process, if necessary. All service providers are contractually obligated to treat your data confidentially.

Otherwise, data is only passed on to recipients outside the company if this is permitted or required by law, if the transfer is necessary to fulfill legal obligations, or if we have your consent.

Transfer to a third country (outside EU / EEA) or to an international organization

The data is processed exclusively in data centers in the Federal Republic of Germany. A transfer to a third country does not take place and is not intended.

Duration for which the personal data are stored and the criteria for determining this duration

If no employment relationship is established following your application, we retain applicant data for a maximum of six months from receipt of the rejection decision so that we can answer any follow-up questions about the application and meet our obligations to provide evidence under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). This does not apply if legal provisions prevent deletion (e.g. archiving of travel expense reimbursements in accordance with tax law requirements for up to 10 years), if further storage is necessary for the purpose of providing evidence, or if you have expressly consented to longer storage. In the event that you have given your consent for your personal data to be stored for a longer period of time, we will transfer your data to our applicant pool. There, the data is deleted after one year

If you are accepted for a position during the application process, the relevant and necessary data will be transferred from the applicant data system to our personnel data system.

In addition to the above information, an overview of your other data protection rights follows below:
– Right of access to the personal data concerned (Art. 15 DS-GVO)
– Right to rectification (Art. 16 DS-GVO), deletion (Art. 17 DS-GVO) as well as to restriction of processing (Art. 18 DS-GVO)
– Right to object to processing (Art. 21 DS-GVO)
– Right to data portability (Art. 20 DS-GVO)
– Right to revoke consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of consent until revocation (Art. 7 (3) DS-GVO)
– Right of appeal to a supervisory authority (Art. 77 DS-GVO)

The decision about your application is not based solely on automated processing. Thus, no automated decision in individual cases within the meaning of Art. 22 DS-GVO takes place.

Is there an obligation to provide data?

As part of the application process, you only need to provide the personal data that is required for the application process. There is no obligation to provide this data. Without this data, we will generally not be able to carry out the application process and make a decision on the establishment of the employment relationship.

Separate information about your right to object according to Article 21 DS-GVO

According to Art. 21 para. 1 DS-GVO, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you carried out on the basis of Article 6(1) DS-GVO. 1 lit. f of the DS-GVO (data processing based on a balance of interests).

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 to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If you wish to exercise your right of objection or other data subject rights, a notification in text form is sufficient. You can write to us or contact us by e-mail.

For the European Economic Area and Switzerland, LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company Wilton Place in Dublin is responsible for data processing.

What are Facebook tools?

We use selected tools from Facebook on our website. Facebook is a social media network of the company Meta Platforms Inc. or for the European area of the company Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. With the help of these tools, we can offer you and people who are interested in our products and services the best possible offer.

If data is collected from you and forwarded via our embedded Facebook elements or via our Facebook page (Fanpage), both we and Facebook Ireland Ltd. are responsible for this. Facebook is solely responsible for the further processing of this data. Our shared commitments have also been embodied in a publicly available agreement at https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. This states, for example, that we must clearly inform you about the use of Facebook tools on our site. Furthermore, we are also responsible for ensuring that the tools are securely integrated into our website in accordance with data protection law. Facebook, on the other hand, is responsible for the data security of Facebook products, for example. If you have any questions about data collection and processing by Facebook, you can contact the company directly. If you submit the question to us, we are required to forward it to Facebook.

Below we provide an overview of the different Facebook tools, what data is sent to Facebook and how you can delete this data.

Among many other products, Facebook also offers the so-called “Facebook Business Tools”. This is the official name of Facebook. However, since the term is hardly known, we decided to just call them Facebook tools. Among them are:

  • social plug-ins (such as the “Like” or “Share” button)
  • Facebook Login
  • Account Kit
  • APIs (Application Programming Interface)
  • SDKs (collection of programming tools)
  • Platform integrations
  • Plugins
  • Codes
  • Specifications
  • Documentations
  • Technologies and services

Through these tools, Facebook extends services and has the ability to obtain information about user activity outside of Facebook.

Why do we use Facebook tools on our website?

We only want to show our services and products to people who are really interested in them. With the help of advertisements (Facebook Ads), we can reach exactly these people. However, in order to show users suitable advertising, Facebook needs information about people’s wishes and needs. This provides the company with information about user behavior (and contact information) on our website. As a result, Facebook collects better user data and can show interested people the appropriate ads about our products or services. The tools thus enable customized advertising campaigns on Facebook.

Facebook calls data about your behavior on our website “event data”. These are also used for measurement and analysis services. Facebook can thus generate “campaign reports” on our behalf about the impact of our advertising campaigns. Furthermore, through analytics we get a better insight into how you use our services, website or products. As a result, we use some of these tools to optimize your user experience on our website. For example, you can use the social plug-ins to share content on our site directly on Facebook.

What data is stored by Facebook tools?

By using individual Facebook tools, personal data (customer data) may be sent to Facebook. Depending on the tools used, customer data such as name, address, phone number and IP address can be sent.

Facebook uses this information to match the data with the data it itself has from you (if you are a Facebook member). Before customer data is transmitted to Facebook, a so-called “hashing” takes place. This means that a data set of any size is transformed into a string. This also serves to encrypt data.

In addition to contact data, “event data” is also transmitted. “Event Data” means that information we receive about you on our website. For example, which subpages you visit or which products you buy from us. Facebook does not share the information it receives with third parties (such as advertisers) unless the company has explicit permission or is legally required to do so. “Event data” can also be associated with contact data. This allows Facebook to offer better personalized advertising. After the aforementioned matching process, Facebook deletes the contact data again.

In order to deliver ads in an optimized manner, Facebook only uses event data when it has been aggregated with other data (collected by Facebook in other ways). Facebook also uses this event data for security, safety, development, and research purposes. Much of this data is transferred to Facebook via cookies. Cookies are small text files that are used to store data or information in browsers. Depending on the tools you use and whether you are a Facebook member, different numbers of cookies are created in your browser. In the descriptions of the individual Facebook tools, we go into more detail about individual Facebook cookies. General information about the use of Facebook cookies can also be found at https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies.

How long and where is the data stored?

Basically, Facebook stores data until it is no longer needed for its own services and Facebook products. Facebook has servers spread all over the world where its data is stored. The data is deleted when it is no longer required for our and Meta’s purposes.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

In accordance with the Basic Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to information, correction, transferability and deletion of your data.

A complete deletion of the data only occurs if you delete your Facebook account completely. And this is how deleting your Facebook account works:

1) Click Settings on the right side of Facebook.

2) Then click “Your Facebook information” in the left column.

3) Now click “Deactivation and deletion”.

4) Now select “Delete account” and then click “Next and delete account”.

5) Now enter your password, click “Next” and then click “Delete account”.

The storage of data that Facebook receives via our site takes place, among other things, via cookies (e.g. for social plugins). In your browser, you can disable, delete or manage individual or all cookies. Depending on which browser you use, this works in different ways. Under the section “Cookies” you will find the corresponding links to the respective instructions of the most popular browsers.

If you generally do not want cookies, you can set up your browser so that it always informs you when a cookie is to be set. Thus, for each individual cookie, you can decide whether to allow it or not.

Legal basis

If you have consented that data from you can be processed and stored by integrated Facebook tools, this consent is considered the legal basis of the data processing (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). In principle, your data will also be stored and processed on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in fast and good communication with you or other customers and business partners. Nevertheless, we only use the tools if you have given your consent. Most social media platforms also set cookies in your browser to store data. That is why we recommend that you read our privacy text about cookies carefully and view Facebook’s privacy policy or cookie policy.

Facebook also processes data from you in the USA, among other places. We would like to point out that, in the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfers to the USA. This may be accompanied by various risks to the lawfulness and security of data processing.

The legal basis for this data transfer is the adequacy decision adopted by the European Commission on 10.07.2023 for the so-called EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This contains framework conditions that are intended to serve as suitable guarantees for the secure transfer of data between the EU and the USA. The prerequisite for this is that US companies join the EU-US Data Privacy Framework by committing to fulfill detailed data protection obligations. This is currently fulfilled by the provider of the social media channels we use, Microsoft, Meta Platforms and Google for (non-HR data).

We hope we have provided you with the most important information about the use and data processing by Facebook tools. If you want to learn more about how Facebook uses your data, we recommend that you read the data policy at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/.

d. XING

What is Xing?

We use social plugins of the social media network Xing, of the company Xing SE, Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg, Germany, on our website. Through these functions, you can, for example, share content on Xing directly from our website, log in via Xing or follow interesting content. You can recognize the plug-ins by the company name or the Xing logo. When you visit a website that uses a Xing plug-in, data may be transmitted to the “Xing servers”, stored and analyzed. In this privacy policy, we want to inform you about what data is involved and how to manage or prevent this data storage.

Xing is a social network headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. The company specializes in managing professional contacts. That is, unlike other networks, Xing is primarily about professional networking. The platform is often used for job hunting or to find employees for one’s own company. In addition, Xing offers interesting content on various professional topics. The global counterpart to this is the American company LinkedIn.

Why do we use Xing on our website?

There is now a flood of social media channels and we are well aware that your time is very precious. Not every company’s social media channel can be scrutinized closely. That’s why we want to make your life as easy as possible, so you can share or follow interesting content directly from our website on Xing. With such “social plug-ins” we extend our service on our website. In addition, the data collected by Xing helps us to carry out targeted advertising measures on the platform. This means that our service is only shown to people who are really interested in it.

What data is stored by Xing?

Xing offers the share button, the follow button, and the log-in button as plug-ins for websites. As soon as you open a page where a social plug-in from Xing is installed, your browser connects to servers in a data center used by Xing. In the case of the share button, no data should be stored – according to Xing – that could derive a direct reference to a person. In particular, Xing does not store your IP address. Furthermore, no cookies are set in connection with the share button. Thus, no evaluation of your user behavior takes place. For more information, please visit https://dev.xing.com/plugins/share_button/privacy_policy

For the other Xing plug-ins, cookies are only set in your browser when you interact with or click on the plug-in. Personal data such as your IP address, browser data, date and time of your page view on Xing may be stored here. If you have a XING account and are logged in, collected data will be assigned to your personal account and the data stored in it.

As soon as you are logged in to Xing or become a member, additional personal data is definitely collected, processed and stored. Xing also discloses personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the fulfillment of its own business purposes, if you have given your consent, or if a legal obligation exists.

How long and where is the data stored?

Xing stores the data on different servers in various data centers. The company stores this data until you delete the data or until a user account is deleted. Of course, this only affects users who are already Xing members.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

You have the right to access and also delete your personal data at any time. Even if you are not a Xing member, you can use your browser to prevent possible data processing or manage it according to your wishes. Most of the data is stored via cookies. Depending on which browser you have, the management works slightly differently. Under the section “Cookies” you will find the corresponding links to the respective instructions of the most popular browsers.

You can also basically set up your browser so that you are always informed when a cookie is to be set. Then you can always decide individually whether you want to allow the cookie or not.

Legal basis

If you have consented that data from you can be processed and stored by integrated social media elements, this consent is considered the legal basis of the data processing (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). In principle, your data will also be stored and processed on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in fast and good communication with you or other customers and business partners. Nevertheless, we only use the integrated social media elements if you have given your consent. Most social media platforms also set cookies in your browser to store data. That is why we recommend that you read our privacy text about cookies carefully and view the privacy policy or cookie policy of the respective service provider.

We have tried to bring you closer to the most important information about data processing by Xing. At https://privacy.xing.com/de/dat enschutzerklaerung you can learn even more about the data processing of the social media network Xing.

What is YouTube?

We have integrated YouTube videos on our website. This allows us to present interesting videos directly on our site. YouTube is a video portal that has been a subsidiary of Google since 2006. The video portal is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you access a page on our website that has an embedded YouTube video, your browser automatically connects to the YouTube or Google servers. Various data will be transmitted (depending on the settings). Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all data processing in Europe.

In the following, we would like to explain to you in more detail what data is processed, why we have integrated YouTube videos and how you can manage or delete your data.

On YouTube, users can watch, rate, comment on and upload videos themselves free of charge. Over the last few years, YouTube has become one of the most important social media channels worldwide. To enable us to display videos on our website, YouTube provides a code snippet that we have integrated on our site.

Why do we use YouTube videos on our website?

YouTube is the video platform with the most visitors and the best content. We strive to offer you the best possible user experience on our website. And of course, interesting videos are a must. With the help of our embedded videos, we provide you with further helpful content in addition to our texts and images. In addition, our website is easier to find on the Google search engine thanks to the embedded videos. Even if we place ads via Google Ads, Google can – thanks to the data collected – only show these ads to people who are interested in our offers.

What data is stored by YouTube?

As soon as you visit one of our pages that has a YouTube video embedded, YouTube sets at least one cookie that stores your IP address and our URL. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can usually assign your interactions on our website to your profile with the help of cookies. This includes data such as session duration, bounce rate, approximate location, technical information such as browser type, screen resolution or your internet provider. Other data may include contact details, any ratings, sharing content via social media or adding it to your favorites on YouTube.

If you are not logged into a Google account or a YouTube account, Google stores data with a unique identifier that is linked to your device, browser or app. For example, your preferred language setting is retained. But a lot of interaction data cannot be saved because fewer cookies are set.

How long and where is the data stored?

The data that YouTube receives from you and processes is stored on Google servers. Most of these servers are located in America. At https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/locations/?hl=de you can see exactly where the Google data centers are located. Your data is distributed on the servers. This means that the data can be retrieved more quickly and is better protected against manipulation.

The data will be deleted when it is no longer required for our and YouTube’s purposes.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

In principle, you can delete data in your Google account manually. With the automatic deletion function for location and activity data introduced in 2019, information is stored for either 3 or 18 months, depending on your decision, and then deleted.

Regardless of whether you have a Google account or not, you can configure your browser so that cookies are deleted or deactivated by Google. Depending on which browser you use, this works in different ways. Under the section “Cookies” you will find the corresponding links to the respective instructions of the most popular browsers.

If you generally do not want cookies, you can set up your browser so that it always informs you when a cookie is to be set. Thus, for each individual cookie, you can decide whether to allow it or not.

Legal basis

If you have consented to your data being processed and stored by integrated YouTube elements, this consent is the legal basis for data processing (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). In principle, your data will also be stored and processed on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) in fast and good communication with you or other customers and business partners. Nevertheless, we only use the integrated YouTube elements if you have given your consent. YouTube also sets cookies in your browser to store data. That is why we recommend that you read our privacy text about cookies carefully and view the privacy policy or cookie policy of the respective service provider.

Through our social media presence, your data is also processed in the USA, among other places. The legal basis for this data transfer is the adequacy decision adopted by the European Commission on 10.07.2023 for the so-called EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This contains framework conditions that are intended to serve as suitable guarantees for the secure transfer of data between the EU and the USA. The prerequisite for this is that US companies join the EU-US Data Privacy Framework by committing to fulfill detailed data protection obligations. This is currently fulfilled by the provider of the social media channels we use, Microsoft, Meta Platforms and Google for (non-HR data).

As YouTube is a subsidiary of Google, there is a joint privacy policy. If you would like to find out more about how we handle your data, we recommend that you read our privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

V. Online meeting tool “Microsoft Teams”

Below we inform you about the processing of personal data in connection with the use of “Microsoft Teams”

Purpose of processing

We use the “Microsoft Teams” tools to hold telephone conferences, online meetings and video conferences. (hereinafter: “Online Meetings”).

What data is processed?

Various types of data are processed when using the “Microsoft Teams” tools. The scope of the data also depends on the information you provide before or during participation in an “online meeting”.

Legal bases of data processing

Insofar as personal data of employees of Terhalle Holding GmbH & Co. KG is processed, § 26 BDSG is the legal basis for the data processing. If, in connection with the use of “Microsoft Teams”, personal data is not required for the establishment, performance or termination of the employment relationship, but is nevertheless an elementary component of the use of “Microsoft Teams”, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO is the legal basis for the data processing. Our interest in these cases is in the effective conduct of “online meetings”.

Incidentally, the legal basis for data processing when conducting “online meetings” is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DS-GVO, insofar as the meetings are conducted in the context of contractual relationships.

If no contractual relationship exists, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Again, our interest is in the effective conduct of “online meetings”.

Should video and audio recordings be necessary by way of exception, this will be done exclusively on the basis of the consent given by you in accordance with Art.6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

Nature and scope of data processing

We use “Microsoft Teams” to conduct “online meetings”. If we want to record “online meetings”, we will transparently tell you in advance and ask for your consent. If necessary for the purposes of logging the results of an online meeting, we will log the chat content. However, this will usually not be the case.

Automated decision-making within the meaning of Art. 22 DS-GVO is not used.

The following personal data is processed when using “Microsoft Teams”, whereby the handling of the data also depends on what data you provide before or when participating in an “online meeting”:

User details (registration information): e.g. user name, activation and conference codes, e-mail address, first and last name, company, organization ID, participant IP, profile picture (optional).

Configuration and communication data: e.g. device name, IP address, geodata, time zone, activity logs, hardware type

Conference information: e.g. date, time, duration, number of participants, dial-in method, diagnostic information

Text, audio and video data: You may have the option to use the chat function in an “online meeting”. In this respect, the text entries you make are processed in order to display them in the “Online Meeting”. To enable the display of video and the playback of audio, the data from the microphone of your terminal device as well as from any video camera of the terminal device are processed accordingly during the duration of the meeting. You can switch off or mute the camera or microphone yourself at any time via the “Microsoft Teams” applications.

Recipient / passing on of data

Personal data processed in connection with participation in “online meetings” will not be disclosed to third parties as a matter of principle, unless they are specifically intended to be disclosed. Please note that content from “online meetings,” as well as in-person meeting content, is often intended precisely to communicate information with customers, prospects, or third parties and is therefore intended to be shared.

Another recipient is the provider of “Microsoft Teams”.

Data processing outside the European Union / EEA

Data processing in third countries does not take place as a matter of principle, as we or the service provider have restricted the storage location to data centers in the EU or the EEA.

However, we cannot rule out the possibility that the service provider also uses servers outside the EU or EEA or that the routing of data takes place via Internet servers that are located outside the EU or EEA.

Through our social media presence, your data is also processed in the USA, among other places. The legal basis for this data transfer is the adequacy decision adopted by the European Commission on 10.07.2023 for the so-called EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This contains framework conditions that are intended to serve as suitable guarantees for the secure transfer of data between the EU and the USA. The prerequisite for this is that US companies join the EU-US Data Privacy Framework by committing to fulfill detailed data protection obligations. This is currently fulfilled by the provider of the social media channels we use, Microsoft, Meta Platforms and Google for (non-HR data).

Storage duration

Your personal data that we process as part of your use of “Microsoft Teams” will generally be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected. A requirement for storage may exist in particular if the data is still needed to fulfill contractual services and to be able to check and grant or defend against warranty or guarantee claims. In the case of the statutory retention obligations of 6 years or 10 years according to commercial and tax law, deletion only comes into consideration after the expiry of the respective retention obligation. If and insofar as the processing is based on your consent, the data will only be stored until you revoke your consent, unless there is also another legal basis for the processing.

Your rights as a data subject

As a data subject, you may at any time exercise the rights granted to you by the GDPR insofar as they apply to the processing:

  • the right to information as to whether and which of your data is being processed (Art. 15 DS-GVO)
  • the right to request the correction or completion of data concerning you (Art. 16 DS-GVO)
  • the right to have the data concerning you deleted in accordance with Art. 17 DS-GVO
  • the right to request restriction of the processing of the data in accordance with Art. 18 DS-GVO
  • the right to data transfer in accordance with Art. 20 DS-GVO;
  • the right to object to future processing of data concerning you in accordance with Art. 21 DS-GVO
Revocability of your consent

If the processing takes place on the legal basis of consent, this can be revoked at any time. The revocation shall not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out until the revocation (Art. 7 (21) DS-GVO).

Right of complaint to a supervisory authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint about our processing of personal data with a data protection supervisory authority.

VI Implementation of competitions

Purposes for which the personal data are processed and the legal basis for the processing

The purpose of the data processing is the implementation and processing of competitions, in particular the verification of the eligibility to participate, as well as the determination of the winners. Participation in the competition is only possible if you provide us with the above data, otherwise no contact can be made in the context of a prize notification.

If you participate in one of our sweepstakes, you consent to the processing of data for the aforementioned purposes. The data processing is therefore based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO).

Another legal basis for the processing of personal data is the fulfillment of a contract. (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO), provided that the personal data are processed exclusively for the purpose of determining and notifying the winners and for the transmission of the prize.

Sources and categories of personal data processed

First and last name

E-mail address

Duration for which the personal data are stored and the criteria for determining the duration

This is the case for the data collected as part of the sweepstakes when the processing of the sweepstakes has been completed. Due to legal retention periods, we have to store data of winners until their expiration.
