3. General Notes and Mandatory Information
 

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 statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is any data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
 

Notice concerning the responsible party
The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

CC Bäuml GmbH
Troßbachtal 10
36110 Schlitz-Rimbach
Phone: +49 (0) 6642 9112-0
Email: info@ccbaeuml.de
 

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).
 

Storage Duration
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate 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. tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.
 

Notice on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries
Some tools from companies based in the USA or other non-secure third countries in terms of data protection are integrated into our website. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We point out that in these countries, a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed. For example, US companies are obligated to hand over personal data to security authorities without you being able to take legal action against this. It cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) may 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 express consent. You may revoke your consent at any time. The legality 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 Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME 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 PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).
 

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS 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 TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT 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 a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work or the place 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 receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a common, machine-readable format either to yourself or to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.
 

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 that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser’s address line from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
 

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
 

Right to Information, Deletion and Correction
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correct or delete this data. For this purpose and for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.
 

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 for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

·       If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by 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 happened/is happening unlawfully, 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 objected pursuant to 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, such data – apart from being stored – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense 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 a member state.

Cookies
Our website uses so-called "cookies." Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.
 

Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services provided by third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for handling payment services).
 

Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., shopping cart function or displaying videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.
 

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you request (e.g., shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies to measure the web audience) are stored based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically flawless and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively based on this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG); the consent can be revoked at any time.
 

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

The provider of this technology is Papoo Software & Media GmbH, Auguststr. 4, 53229 Bonn (hereinafter referred to as "CCM19").
 

When you access our website, a connection to CCM19's servers is established to obtain your consents and other declarations regarding cookie use. Subsequently, CCM19 stores a cookie in your browser to assign the given consents or their revocation. The data collected in this way is stored until you ask us to delete it, delete the CCM19 cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory legal retention obligations remain unaffected.
 

The use of CCM19 is to obtain the legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR.

·       Operating system used

·       Referrer URL

·       Hostname of the accessing computer

·       Time of the server request

·       IP address
 

This data will not be combined with other data sources.
 

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this, the server log files must be recorded.
 

Inquiry by Email, Telephone, or Fax
If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not share this data without your consent.
 

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively processing the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was requested.
 

The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular legal retention periods – remain unaffected.
 

5. Analytics Tools and Advertising
 

Google Analytics
This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is 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, length of stay, operating systems used, and the origin of the user. These data may be assigned to the user’s device. There is no association with a user ID.
 

In addition, Google Analytics allows us to record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks, among other things. Google Analytics also uses various modeling approaches to supplement the collected data and employs machine learning technologies in data analysis.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user 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 usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
 

The use of this service is based on your consent under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
 

The data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.
 

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 is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Each company certified under the DPF is committed to complying with these data protection standards. Further information can be found at the following link:

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

 

6. Plugins and Tools
 

YouTube with Enhanced Privacy Mode
This website integrates videos from YouTube. The provider 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 any information about the visitors of this website before they watch the video. However, data transfer to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the enhanced privacy mode. 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 YouTube’s servers is established. This informs the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
 

Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube may store cookies on your device or use similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting). This allows YouTube to obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to compile video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud attempts.
 

Additional data processing operations may be triggered after starting a YouTube video, over which we have no control.
 

The use of YouTube is in the interest of presenting our online offerings in an appealing way. This constitutes a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
 

Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at:
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de
 

7. Our Own Services
 

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

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 from interviews, etc.) as far as necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the new 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. Within our company, your personal data will only be passed on to persons 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 Section 26 BDSG-neu and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
 

Retention Period of the Data
If we are unable to offer you a position, you reject a job offer, or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have provided to us based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to 6 months after the conclusion of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). Afterward, the data will be deleted, and physical application documents will be destroyed. Retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will still be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g., due to a pending or impending legal dispute), deletion will only occur once the purpose for continued retention no longer applies.
 

Longer retention may also occur if you have given your explicit consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
