Dipl. Ing. Lars Ebertz on behalf of EBERTZ DATENSCHUTZ GmbH
Ober den Wiesen 17
35756 Mittenaar (Germany)
Email: lars@ebertz-datenschutz.de

Recipients of Personal Data
As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This sometimes requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only share personal data with external parties if necessary for contract fulfillment, if legally required (e.g., sharing data with tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in sharing the data, or if another legal basis permits data sharing. When using data processors, we only share personal data of our customers based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

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 legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (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 for processing can be found in this Privacy Policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR). If your personal data is processed for direct advertising purposes, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for such advertising purposes at any time; 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 direct advertising purposes (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, affected individuals have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, workplace, or the location of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done if technically feasible.

Access, Correction, and Deletion
Within the scope of applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free access to your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correct or delete this data. For this and other questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restrict processing applies 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 processing 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 processing your personal data instead of deletion. If you have objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may only be processed – apart from its storage – with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of 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.

SSL or TLS Encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser's address line changing from "http://" to "https://" and the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Advertising Emails
The use of contact data published as part of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information, such as spam emails.

Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent for storing cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively based on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be revoked at any time. You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies, allow cookies only in specific cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

5. Analytics Tools and Advertising

Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager, provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or analytics tools and other technologies into our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies, or perform independent analyses. It is solely used to manage and deploy the tools integrated through it. However, Google Tag Manager collects your IP address, which may also be transferred to Google's parent company in the United States. The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the quick and easy integration and management of various tools on their website. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. The company is certified under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA that ensures compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF commits to adhering to these data protection standards. Further information can be obtained from the provider at the following link: Data Privacy Framework entry for Google.

Google Analytics
This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics, provided by Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, time spent on the site, operating systems used, and user origin. This data is assigned to the user's device. No assignment to a user ID occurs.

Additionally, Google Analytics can record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks. Google Analytics also uses various modeling approaches to supplement the collected datasets and employs machine learning technologies for data analysis.

Google Analytics uses technologies that allow user recognition for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The use of this service is based on your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses.

Details can be found here: business.safety.google/adscontrollerterms/sccs. The company is certified under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA that ensures compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF commits to adhering to these data protection standards. Further information can be obtained from the provider at the following link: Data Privacy Framework entry for Google.

IP Anonymization
Google Analytics IP anonymization is activated. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

Browser Plugin
You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).
More information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google's Privacy Policy.

Data Processing Agreement
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully comply with the strict requirements of German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Meta Pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel)
This website uses the visitor action pixel from Facebook/Meta for conversion measurement. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. According to Facebook, the collected data is also transferred to the USA and other third countries. This allows the behavior of site visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This enables the effectiveness of Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimized. The collected data is anonymous for us as the website operator; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, Facebook stores and processes the data, allowing a connection to the respective user profile and enabling Facebook to use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook Data Usage Policy. This allows Facebook to display ads on Facebook pages and outside of Facebook. This use of data cannot be influenced by us as the website operator.
The use of this service is based on your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. We use the extended matching function within the Meta Pixel. Extended matching allows us to transmit various types of data (e.g., location, state, postal code, hashed email addresses, names, gender, birth date, or phone numbers) of our customers and prospects collected through our website to Meta (Facebook). This activation enables us to tailor our advertising campaigns on Facebook even more precisely to people interested in our offers. Additionally, extended matching improves the assignment of website conversions and expands custom audiences. If personal data is collected on our website using the tool described here and forwarded to Facebook, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). Joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of data and its forwarding to Facebook. The processing by Facebook after forwarding is not part of the joint responsibility. Our joint obligations have been outlined in an agreement on joint processing. The wording of the agreement can be found at:

https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing privacy information when using the Facebook tool and for the legally compliant implementation of the tool on our website. Facebook is responsible for the data security of Facebook products. Rights of affected individuals (e.g., information requests) regarding data processed by Facebook can be asserted directly with Facebook. If you assert rights with us, we are obligated to forward these to Facebook. Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here: www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum.

Further information on privacy protection can be found in Facebook's privacy notices. You can also deactivate the remarketing function "Custom Audiences" in the ad settings section at this link. You must be logged into Facebook to do this.

The company is certified under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA that ensures compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF commits to adhering to these data protection standards.

Data processing
To communicate with our customers, we use various online conferencing tools. The tools we use are listed below. When you communicate with us via video or audio conferencing over the internet, your personal data is collected and processed by us and the provider of the respective conferencing tool. The conferencing tools collect all data that you provide/use to utilize the tools (e.g., email address and/or phone number). Additionally, the conferencing tools process the duration of the conference, start and end times, number of participants, and other "context information" related to the communication process (metadata).

Furthermore, the tool provider processes all technical data necessary for conducting online communication. This includes IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or speaker, and connection type. If content is exchanged, uploaded, or otherwise provided within the tool, it is also stored on the servers of the tool providers. Such content includes 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 largely determined by the corporate policies of the respective provider. For further information on data processing by the conferencing tools, please refer to the Privacy Policies of the respective tools listed below.

Purpose and legal basis
The conferencing tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to offer certain services to our customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

If consent has been requested, the use of the respective tools is based on this consent; consent can be revoked at any time with future effect.

Storage duration
The data directly collected by us through video and conferencing tools is deleted from our systems as soon as you request deletion, revoke your consent for 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.

8. Our Services

Handling Applicant Data
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., via email, postal mail, or 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 comply with applicable data protection laws and other legal provisions, and that your data will be treated strictly confidentially.

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection
When you submit an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication details, application documents, notes from interviews, etc.) as necessary to decide on establishing an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation), and – if you have given consent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be shared within our company with individuals involved in processing your application. If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship based on § 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Data Retention Period
If we cannot offer you a position, you reject a job offer, or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you submitted based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to six months after the conclusion of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). Subsequently, the data will be deleted, and physical application documents will be destroyed. Retention serves primarily as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the six-month period (e.g., due to a pending or anticipated legal dispute), deletion will occur only when the purpose for extended retention no longer applies. Extended retention may also occur if you have given explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if legal retention obligations prevent deletion.

Inclusion in the Applicant Pool
If we cannot offer you a position, there may be an option to include you in our applicant pool. If included, 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 is based solely on your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Providing consent is voluntary and unrelated to the ongoing application process.

The applicant can revoke their consent at any time.
In this case, the data in the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted unless there are legal retention reasons. Data in the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent is given.

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The specific social networks we use are listed below. Social networks like Facebook, X, etc., can typically analyze your user behavior comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or ad banners). Visiting our social media presence triggers various data protection-related processing operations. Specifically: If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can associate this visit with your user account. Your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. This data collection may occur, for example, through cookies stored on your device or by capturing your IP address. Using the data collected, social media portal operators can create user profiles that store your preferences and interests. This allows interest-based advertising to be displayed both within and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices where you are logged in or have been logged in. Please also note that we cannot track all processing activities on social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may be carried out by the operators of social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media portals.

Legal Basis
Our social media presence aims to ensure the most comprehensive presence possible on the internet. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by social networks may be based on different legal bases specified by the operators of social networks (e.g., consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

Controller and Assertion of Rights
If you visit one of our social media profiles (e.g., Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can assert your rights (access, rectification, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g., Facebook). Please note that despite joint responsibility with social media portal operators, we do not have full control over the data processing operations of social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policies of the respective provider.

Retention Period
The data directly collected by us through the social media presence is deleted from 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 provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected. We have no control over the retention period of your data stored by social network operators for their own purposes. For details, please refer directly to the operators of social networks (e.g., in their privacy policies, see below).

Your Rights
You have the right to receive free information about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data at any time. You also have the right to object, request data portability, and lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. Furthermore, you can request the correction, blocking, deletion, and, under certain circumstances, restriction of the processing of your personal data.
