Storage period
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law). In the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, provided that special categories of data within the meaning of Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR are processed.

Phone: 05503-9159648
Email: sorge@datcon.de

Recipients of personal data
As part of our business activities, we work together with various external organisations. In some cases, it is also necessary to transfer personal data to these external organisations. We only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. passing on data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in passing on the data or if another legal basis permits the passing on of the data. When using processors, we only pass on personal data on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time 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 lodge an objection, we will no longer process your personal data concerned. Unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).
If your personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).


Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place if it is technically feasible.

Information, correction and deletion
You have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data at any time within the framework of the applicable legal provisions. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do so, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can also request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
  • If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been 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 defence 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.

SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise 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.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

This information is used to create conversion statistics. We find out the total number of users who have clicked on our adverts and what actions they have taken. We do not receive any information with which we can personally identify the user. Google itself uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies for identification.
The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

6. Newsletter

Newsletter data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use the newsletter service providers described below to process the newsletter.

Brevo
This website uses Brevo to send newsletters. The provider is Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany.
Brevo is a service that can be used to organise and analyse the sending of newsletters, among other things. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter is stored on the servers of Sendinblue GmbH in Germany.

Data analysis by Brevo
With the help of Brevo, we are able to analyse our newsletter campaigns. For example, we can see whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked on. In this way, we can determine, among other things, which links were clicked on particularly often.
We can also recognise whether certain previously defined actions were carried out after opening/clicking (conversion rate). For example, we can recognise whether you have clicked on certain buttons after opening the newsletter.
Brevo also enables us to subdivide newsletter recipients into different categories ("clustering"). Newsletter recipients can be categorised by age, gender or place of residence, for example. In this way, the newsletters can be better adapted to the respective target groups.
If you do not wish to be analysed by Brevo, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a corresponding link for this purpose in every newsletter message.
You can find detailed information on the functions of Brevo at the following link: https://www.brevo.com/de/newsletter-software/.

Legal basis
The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

Storage period
The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
For more information, please refer to Brevo's privacy policy at: https://www.brevo.com/de/datenschutz-uebersicht/ and https://www.brevo.com/de/legal/privacypolicy/.

Order processing
We have concluded an order processing contract (AVV) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract prescribed by data protection law, which ensures that the personal data of our website visitors is only processed in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Sending newsletters to existing customers
If you order goods or services from us and provide us with your email address, this email address may subsequently be used by us to send you newsletters, provided we inform you of this in advance. In such a case, only direct advertising for our own similar goods or services will be sent via the newsletter. You can cancel the sending of this newsletter at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for this purpose. In this case, the legal basis for sending the newsletter is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in conjunction with Section 7 para. 3 UWG.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, we may store your e-mail address in a blacklist to prevent future mailings to you. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
 

7. Plugins and tools

YouTube with extended data protection
This website integrates videos from the YouTube website. The operator of the website is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
When you visit one of these websites on which YouTube is integrated, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, videos that are played in extended data protection mode are not used to personalise surfing on YouTube. Ads that are played in extended data protection mode are also not personalised. No cookies are set in extended data protection mode.

Handling of applicant data
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by e-mail or post). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure you that your data will be collected, processed and used in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.

Scope and purpose of data collection 
If you send us an application, we will process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation) and - if you have given your consent - Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.

Data retention period
If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of 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). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. The retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.
Longer storage may also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

Inclusion in the applicant pool
If we do not make you a job offer, it may be possible to include you in our applicant pool. If you are accepted, all documents and information from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you in the event of suitable vacancies.
Admission to the applicant pool is based exclusively on your express consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). Giving consent is voluntary and is not related to the current application process. The data subject can withdraw their consent at any time. In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool, provided there are no legal grounds for retention. The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than three years after consent has been granted.

The use of cookies serves the proper operation of the website, the provision of basic functionalities for the use of the website and the analysis for the customer-friendly and effective design and optimisation of our websites.

Newsletter software

Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) is used as newsletter software. Your data will be transmitted to Sendinblue GmbH. Brevo is prohibited from selling your data and using it for purposes other than sending newsletters. Brevo is a German provider that has been selected in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation and the Federal Data Protection Act. We have concluded an order processing contract with Brevo, in which we oblige the service provider to protect the data of our newsletter subscribers and not to pass it on to third parties.

Further information can be found here:
https://www.brevo.com/de/informationen-newsletter-empfaenger/?rtype=n2go

The purpose of storing your e-mail address is to be able to send you the newsletter. We store the respective IP address and the times of registration and confirmation in order to be able to prove your registration in a legally compliant manner and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data. This is also our legitimate interest.

The newsletters we send out contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in our newsletter emails. This allows us to statistically analyse the success or failure of our online marketing campaigns. Using the embedded tracking pixel, we can recognise whether and when a newsletter was opened by the recipient and which links in the email were of interest to the person concerned and were clicked on.

The personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters is stored and analysed by us. Based on this analysis, we can optimise our newsletters accordingly and adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of our newsletter subscribers. This is our legitimate interest in processing this data.

If you have given us your consent, the legal basis for the processing of the data after registration for the newsletter is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If the processing is based on a legitimate interest on our part, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The above data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purposes mentioned. The data will therefore be stored for as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and its use for sending the newsletter and analysing the success of the newsletter at any time. There is a corresponding unsubscribe link in every newsletter. You can also inform us of your request at any time using the contact options provided in the privacy policy and on the websites.

We use Google Fonts (selection of fonts for website design) to design our website. In order to display certain fonts on our websites, these fonts are provided locally when our pages are accessed, i.e. there is no connection to Google servers.

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, on our websites. Google Tag Manager is a tag management system that can be used to manage and configure tracking codes for our websites via a web interface. Google Tag Manager records interactions that the user carries out on our websites. These are forwarded to connected analysis tools. It is not possible to analyse the data itself with the Tag Manager. This is done in the respective tool. Google Tag Manager is a cookie-free domain and does not collect any personal data itself. Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager.

Web analysis with Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics uses cookies that are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analysed.

Due to the activation of IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google 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 truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

The use of Google Analytics on our website serves the purpose of analysing the use of our website and continuously improving its functionality and user-friendliness. This is our legitimate interest in data processing; the legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
