Data protection

  1. Introduction
    In the following, we provide information about the processing of personal data when using
    our website faaren-group.com
    our profiles in social media.
    Personal data is all data that can be related to a specific natural person, e.g. their name or IP address.
    1.1. Contact details
    Responsible acc. Art. 4 para. 7 EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is FAAREN GmbH, Leightonstraße 2, 97074 Würzburg, Germany, e-mail: [email protected]. We are legally represented by Daniel Garnitz, ppa. Maximilian Renoth.
    Our data protection officer is heyData GmbH, Schützenstr. 5, 10117 Berlin, www.heydata.eu, e-mail: [email protected].
    1.2. Scope of data processing, processing purposes and legal bases
    The scope of data processing, processing purposes and legal bases are explained in detail below. The legal basis for data processing is generally as follows:
    Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 it. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent.
    Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR is the legal basis insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract, e.g. if a site visitor purchases a product from us or we perform a service for them. This legal basis also applies to processing that is necessary for pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries about our products or services.
    Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c GDPR applies if we fulfill a legal obligation by processing personal data, as may be the case in tax law, for example.
    Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis if we can rely on legitimate interests to process personal data, e.g. for cookies that are required for the technical operation of our website.
    1.3. Data processing outside the EEA
    Insofar as we transfer data to service providers or other third parties outside the EEA, the security of the data during transfer is guaranteed by adequacy decisions of the EU Commission (Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR), if available (e.g. for Great Britain, Canada and Israel).
    If no adequacy decision exists (e.g. for the USA), the legal basis for data transfer is usually standard contractual clauses, i.e. unless we indicate otherwise. These are a set of rules adopted by the EU Commission and form part of the contract with the respective third party. According to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. b GDPR, they guarantee the security of data transfer. Many of the providers have issued contractual guarantees that go beyond the standard contractual clauses and protect the data beyond the standard contractual clauses. These are, for example, guarantees with regard to the encryption of data or with regard to the obligation of the third party to inform the data subject if law enforcement agencies wish to access data.
    1.4. Storage duration
    Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing is restricted, i.e. the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that we must retain for commercial or tax law reasons.
    1.5. Rights of data subjects
    Data subjects have the following rights vis-à-vis us with regard to their personal data:
    Right to information,
    Right to rectification or erasure,
    Right to restriction of processing,
    Right to object to the processing,
    Right to data portability,
    Right to withdraw consent at any time.
    Data subjects also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of their personal data. Contact details of the data protection supervisory authorities can be found at https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Service/Anschriften/Laender/Laender-node.html.
    1.6. Obligation to provide data
    In the context of a business relationship or other relationship, customers, interested parties or third parties only have to provide us with the personal data that is necessary for the establishment, implementation and termination of the business relationship or for the other relationship or that we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will generally have to refuse to conclude a contract or provide a service or will no longer be able to perform an existing contract or other relationship.
    Mandatory information is marked as such.
    1.7. No automated decision-making in individual cases
    In principle, we do not use fully automated decision-making in accordance with Article 22 GDPR to establish and implement a business relationship or other relationship. If we use these procedures in individual cases, we will inform you of this separately if this is required by law.
    1.8. Contact us
    When contacting us, e.g. by e-mail or telephone, the data provided to us (e.g. names and e-mail addresses) will be stored by us in order to answer questions. The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR) in responding to inquiries addressed to us. We delete the data arising in this context after storage is no longer required, or restrict processing if there are statutory retention obligations.
    1.9. Competitions
    We occasionally offer competitions via our website or in other ways. We process the data requested to determine and notify the winners. We then delete the data. It may also be that we only offer competitions for existing customers. We will then only process the name to determine the winners and the contact details to notify the winners. It is in our legitimate interest to offer competitions to attract customers or to interact with our existing customers. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.
    1.10. Customer surveys
    From time to time, we conduct customer surveys to get to know our customers and their wishes better. We collect the data requested in each case. It is our legitimate interest to get to know our customers and their wishes better, so that the legal basis for the associated data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit f GDPR is. We delete the data once the results of the surveys have been evaluated.
    1.11. Data processing in the context of the exchange of business cards
    If our employees personally receive a business card in a business context, the data received on the card is processed in order to use it for networking and to contact the business partner. This is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. The data is processed for as long as we can assume that we will maintain an existing business contact with the business partner or start a new one.
  2. Newsletter
    We reserve the right to inform customers who have already used our services or purchased goods about our offers from time to time by e-mail or other electronic means if they have not objected to this. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in direct marketing (Recital 47 GDPR). Customers can object to the use of their e-mail address for advertising purposes at any time at no additional cost, for example via the link at the end of each e-mail or by sending an e-mail to our above-mentioned e-mail address.
    Interested parties have the option of subscribing to a free newsletter. We process the data provided during registration exclusively for the purpose of sending the newsletter. Registration takes place by selecting the corresponding field on our website, by ticking the corresponding field in a paper document or by another clear action, whereby interested parties declare their consent to the processing of their data, so that the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR is. Consent can be revoked at any time, e.g. by clicking on the corresponding link in the newsletter or by sending a message to the e-mail address given above. The processing of the data until revocation remains lawful even in the event of revocation.
    Based on the consent of the recipients (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR), we also measure the opening and click rate of our newsletters in order to understand which content is relevant for our recipients.
    We send newsletters using the HubSpot tool from the provider HubSpot, Inc., 25 1st Street Cambridge, MA 0214, USA (privacy policy: https://legal.hubspot.com/de/privacy-policy). The provider processes content, usage, meta/communication data and contact data in the EU.
  3. Data processing on our website
    3.1. Informational use of the website

    Amount of data transferred in each case
    Website from which the request comes

We have marked the data required to carry out the application procedure accordingly or refer to them. If applicants do not provide this data, we cannot process the application; further data is voluntary and not required for an application. If applicants provide further information, this is based on their consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR).
    We ask applicants to refrain from providing information on political opinions, religious beliefs and similar sensitive data in their CV and cover letter. They are not required for an application.
