Purposes of data processing by the responsible body and third parties

We process your personal data only for the purposes stated in this privacy policy. We do not transfer your personal data to third parties for purposes other than those mentioned. We only transfer your personal data to third parties if:

you have given your express consent,
processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you,
processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation,
processing is necessary to protect legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data.

Applicant data protection

Processing of applications

We process personal data when processing your application. Personal data that you provide to us in the context of an application will only be processed by us in the context of the associated application procedure.

We only collect the personal data (in particular first name, surname, address, email, position applied for, information from the application) that is required for the application process. In order to fully review the application in our company, it is necessary that we also have information about your previous professional career.

The data is stored until the application process is complete. If your application is unsuccessful, the data will normally be deleted within six months of the decision being communicated. If your application is successful, the data will be transferred to your personnel file. Data will only be stored for a longer period if we have obtained consent for longer storage for the purpose of including you in our pool of applicants.

As part of the application process, we use service providers to manage applications, who process the data on our behalf.

Data processing in the context of applications is carried out on the basis of § 26 BDSG for the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship, as well as on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 b GDPR for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Applicant pool

If you would like to release your application for other positions as well, you can be included in the application pool. We will then store your data in a data pool and check whether your application fits another position.

Before you are included in the data pool, we will obtain the following consent:

[ ] I would like my data to be processed for the purpose of filling other positions as well. My data should be included in a data pool for filling positions at ETECTURE GmbH. If my application fits another position, ETECTURE GmbH may contact me in this regard. The revocation is possible at any time.

Your data will be processed by us in the context of the application pool on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a GDPR.

Deletion or blocking of data

We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data minimization. Therefore, we only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as required by the various storage periods provided for by law. After the respective purpose no longer applies or these deadlines have expired, the corresponding data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Collection of general information when visiting our website

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider and similar. This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.

This information is technically necessary to correctly deliver the website content you have requested and is mandatory when using the internet. It is processed in particular for the following purposes:

ensuring a smooth connection to the website,
ensuring smooth use of our website,
evaluation of system security and stability, and
for further administrative purposes.

The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest for the aforementioned purposes of data collection. We do not use your data to draw conclusions about you as a person. The recipients of the data are only the responsible body and, if applicable, the processor.

Anonymous information of this kind may be statistically evaluated by us in order to optimize our website and the technology behind it.

Cookies

Like many other websites, we also use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard disk. This automatically provides us with certain data such as IP address, browser used, operating system and your connection to the Internet.

Cookies cannot be used to launch programs or transmit viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can make navigation easier for you and enable the correct display of our websites.

Under no circumstances will the data collected by us be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.

Of course, you can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. In general, you can disable the use of cookies at any time through your browser settings. Please use the help function of your internet browser to find out how to change these settings. Please note that some features of our website may not work if you have disabled the use of cookies.

SSL encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) over HTTPS.

Contact form

If you contact us with questions of any kind by email or using the contact form, you give us your voluntary consent for the purpose of establishing contact. To do this, you must provide a valid e-mail address. This is used to assign the request and then answer it. The specification of further data is optional. The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing the request and for possible follow-up questions. After completing your request, personal data will be automatically deleted.

Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (hereinafter: Google). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are saved on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and saved there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before this happens. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

The purposes of the data processing are to evaluate the use of the website and to compile reports on activities on the website. Based on the use of the website and the internet, further related services are then to be provided. The processing is based on the legitimate interest of the website operator.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use all the features of this website to the fullest extent possible. You can also prevent the data generated by cookies about your use of the website (incl. your IP address) from being passed to Google, and the processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Browser Add On zur Deaktivierung von Google Analytics.

In addition or as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our pages by clicking this link. This installs an opt-out cookie on your device. This will prevent Google Analytics from collecting data for this website and for this browser in the future, as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.

Use of script libraries (Google Webfonts)

In order to display our content correctly and in a graphically appealing way across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries on this website, such as Google Web Fonts. Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser's cache to avoid multiple loading. If the browser does not support Google Web Fonts or prevents access, content will be displayed in a default font.

Accessing script or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library operator. It is theoretically possible – although it is currently unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes – for the operators of such libraries to collect data.

You can find the privacy policy of the library operator Google here.

Use of Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps API to visually display geographic information. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes and uses data about the use of map features by visitors. For more information about Google's data processing, please refer to the Google Privacy Policy. You can also change your personal privacy settings in the data protection center there.

Detailed instructions for managing your own data in connection with Google products can be found here.

Embedded YouTube videos

We embed YouTube videos on some of our websites. The corresponding plugins are operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. YouTube is informed which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can assign your surfing behavior to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.

When a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior.

If you have disabled cookies for the Google Ad program, you should not have to expect any such cookies when watching YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you wish to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in your browser.

Further information on data protection at “YouTube” can be found in the provider's data protection declaration.

Use of SalesViewer® technology

This website uses SalesViewer® technology from SalesViewer® GmbH to collect and store data for marketing, market research and optimization purposes based on the website operator's legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

For this purpose, a javascript-based code is used to collect company-related data and the corresponding usage. The data collected using this technology is encrypted using a non-reversible one-way function (so-called hashing). The data is immediately pseudonymized and is not used to personally identify the visitor to this website.

You can object to the collection and storage of data at any time with effect for the future by clicking on this link to prevent SalesViewer® from collecting data on this website in the future. This stores an opt-out cookie for this website on your device. If you delete your cookies in this browser, you will need to click on this link again.

Additional data processing on our temporary landing page https://www.etecture.de/summervibes

In addition to the points mentioned, the following data processing also takes place on our temporary landing page:

Integration of a Spotify playlist

We have integrated a widget in the form of a Spotify playlist from Spotify AB, Regeringsgatan 19 111 53 Stockholm, Sweden (“Spotify”) on our website. When the playlist is displayed, log data is transferred to the Spotify servers. If you are also a Spotify user, this data can also be assigned to your user account.

Data processing in connection with the widget is carried out on the basis of our overriding legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR.

Further information on data processing at Spotify can be found here.

We reserve the right to amend this data protection declaration so that it always meets current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the data protection declaration, e.g. when introducing new services. The new data protection declaration will then apply to your next visit.
