Data Protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data are data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use them for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.
We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on data transfer to the USA
Our website includes tools from companies based in the USA, among others. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If the data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection according to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data concerning you for such advertising purposes; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for the purpose of direct advertising (objection according to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, especially in the member state of their habitual residence, workplace, or the place of the alleged violation. The right to complain exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either to yourself or to a third party, in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done as far as it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
This page uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Encrypted payment transactions on this website
If there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g., account number for direct debit authorization) after the conclusion of a paid contract, this data is required for payment processing.
Payment transactions via common payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit procedure) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the address line of the browser changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
In encrypted communication, your payment data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, deletion, and correction
You have the right at any time, under applicable legal provisions, to obtain free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time at the address provided in the imprint for this and other questions regarding personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time at the address provided in the imprint. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, 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 need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear 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 asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
Objection to advertising emails
The use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

LinkedIn Insight Tag
This website uses the Insight Tag from LinkedIn. The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Data processing by LinkedIn Insight Tag

If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can analyze, among other things, the professional key data (e.g., career level, company size, country, location, industry, and job title) of our website visitors and thus better tailor our site to the respective target groups. Furthermore, with the help of LinkedIn Insight Tags, we can measure whether visitors to our websites make a purchase or other action (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement can also be cross-device (e.g., from PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also offers a retargeting function, which allows us to show targeted advertising to visitors of our website outside the website, whereby according to LinkedIn no identification of the advertising recipient takes place.
LinkedIn itself also collects so-called log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser characteristics, and time of access). IP addresses are shortened or (if used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymized). The direct identifiers of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymized data is then deleted within 180 days.
The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be assigned to specific individuals by us as the website operator. LinkedIn will store the collected personal data of website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it within the scope of its own advertising measures. For details, please refer to LinkedIn's privacy policy at
https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig.
Legal basis
The use of LinkedIn Insight is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including social media. If corresponding consent has been requested (e.g., consent to store cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here:https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/dpa

When users download the app, the required information is transmitted to the Stores, in particular username, email address, and customer number of the account, time of download, payment information, and the individual device identifier. We have no influence on this data collection and are not responsible for it. We process the data only to the extent necessary for downloading the mobile app onto the user's mobile device.
Hosting
Our app is hosted by the provider M-SOFT Organisationsberatung GmbH. The provider processes the personal data transmitted via the app, e.g., content, usage, meta/communication data, or contact data. It is our legitimate interest to provide a website, so the legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
Informational use of the app
When users use our app, we collect the data that is technically necessary for us to offer users the functions of our app and to ensure stability and security. This is our legitimate interest, so the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
The data processed in this regard are:
Date and time of the request
Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
Content of the request (specific page)
Access status/HTTP status code
data volume transmitted each time
Operating system and its interface
Language
Access to functions or data
The app requests the user's access to functions of the end device or to data of the end device in order to execute functions of the app. The functions of the app include documenting working hours for the employer to comply with legal requirements (e.g., compliance with break times, working hours), preventing accidents, and coordinating construction site assignments with the employer.
By allowing access, the user consents to the associated data processing, so that the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. Users can revoke their consent at any time by terminating access in the settings of the end device. The revocation does not affect the lawfulness of processing until the revocation.

Newsletter data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data will be collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not share it with third parties.
The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke the given consent to store the data, the email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "Unsubscribe" link in the newsletter.

This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
7. Plugins and Tools
YouTube with extended data protection
This website embeds videos from YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store information about the visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the transfer of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the enhanced privacy mode. Thus, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you watch a video.
As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. The YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud attempts.
If applicable, further data processing operations may be triggered after starting a YouTube video, over which we have no influence.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.
More information about data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at:

Furthermore, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, the start and end (time) of participation in the conference, the number of participants, and other "context information" related to the communication process (metadata).
Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes all technical data necessary for the execution of online communication. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or speaker, as well as the type of connection.
If content is exchanged, uploaded, or otherwise provided within the tool, this content is also stored on the servers of the tool providers. Such content includes in particular cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared during the use of the service.
Please note that we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the tools used. Our options are primarily determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider. Further information on data processing by the conference tools can be found in the privacy policies of the respective tools used, which we have listed below this text.
Purpose and Legal Basis
The conference tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to offer certain services to our customers (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR). Furthermore, the use of the tools serves to generally simplify and accelerate communication with us or our company (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Where consent has been requested, the use of the respective tools is based on this consent; consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
Storage Duration
The data directly collected by us via the video and conference tools are deleted by our systems as soon as you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected. 17 / 20 We have no influence on the storage duration of your data stored by the operators of the conference tools for their own purposes. For details, please refer directly to the operators of the conference tools.

10. Own Services
Handling of applicant data
We offer you the opportunity to apply with us (e.g., via email, by post, or through the online application form). Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data is in accordance with applicable data protection laws and all other legal provisions, and that your data will be treated as strictly confidential.
Scope and purpose of data collection
If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes from interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG-new under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation), and – if you have given consent – Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be shared within our company with persons involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems based on § 26 BDSG-new and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.
Cases & Storage duration of the 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 store the data you have submitted based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). Afterwards, the data will be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. The storage serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period (e.g., due to a pending or threatened legal dispute), deletion will only take place once the purpose for further storage no longer applies.
A longer retention may also occur if you have given corresponding consent (Art. 6 18 / 20 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if legal retention obligations prevent deletion.
Inclusion in the applicant pool
If we do not make you a job offer, there may be the possibility to include you in our applicant pool. In the event of inclusion, all documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool to contact you in case of suitable vacancies.
Inclusion in the applicant pool occurs solely on the basis of your explicit consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). Providing consent is voluntary and is not related to the ongoing application process. The affected person can revoke their consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, unless there are legal retention reasons.
The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent is given.
