2. General information on data processing

We process personal data only insofar as this is necessary to provide our website, content and services, or where another legal basis exists (e.g. consent or legitimate interest). In particular, the legal bases are Art. 6 (1) lit. a, b, c and f GDPR.

Where we use external service providers (e.g. hosting providers), this takes place within the framework of commissioned processing pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.

3. Hosting

Our website is operated by an external service provider (hosting provider) within the European Union / European Economic Area. The hosting provider provides us with infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space, database services, security services and technical maintenance services.

Purpose and legal basis

Secure and efficient operation of this website.
Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure and stable operation of the website).

4. Provision of the website and server log files

When our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing device. In particular, the following may be collected:

This data is stored in the system's log files.

Purposes of processing

Legal basis

Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure and technically error-free operation of the website).

Storage period

Log files are generally stored for a period of no more than 7–14 days and then deleted or anonymised, unless further retention is required for evidentiary purposes in connection with security-relevant incidents.

5. Contact (email, phone, contact form)

You can contact us using the contact options provided on the website (email, phone, contact form). In doing so, we process the data you provide, in particular:

Purpose of processing

Processing your request and corresponding with you.

Legal bases

We store your enquiries, including personal data, for as long as is necessary for processing and handling them. The data is then deleted unless statutory retention obligations apply or the data is required for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

6. Applications

If you apply to us on your own initiative or for advertised positions (e.g. by email), we process the application data you submit (e.g. contact details, CV, references).

Purpose of processing

Storage period

Application data is generally deleted no later than 6 months after completion of the application process if no employment relationship is established and there are no further legitimate interests (e.g. preserving evidence in proceedings under the AGG) or your express consent to longer storage (e.g. inclusion in an applicant pool).

Comments generally remain permanently visible for as long as the relevant post is online, unless deletion is required for legal or content-related reasons. You can cancel comment subscriptions at any time using the link provided in the email.

8. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website uses cookies and comparable technologies only insofar as they are technically necessary to provide basic website functions (e.g. language settings, navigation, form protection). Data stored in technically necessary cookies is not used to identify website users or analyse their behaviour.

Legal bases

No tracking or marketing cookies

We currently do not use cookies for analytics, tracking or marketing purposes. We also do not use tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel or comparable services. If corresponding services are used in the future, we will obtain your consent in advance and amend this privacy policy accordingly.

9. Embedded content and third-party links

Our website may contain linked third-party content (e.g. websites of references, service providers, review portals). When you click such a link, you leave our website. The respective providers are solely responsible for the processing of personal data on third-party websites.

Embedded content (e.g. videos, maps), where used, is integrated wherever possible in such a way that data is transmitted only after you actively click. If services are used in this context in which data is transferred to third countries (e.g. the USA), we will inform you transparently and, where required, obtain your consent.

10. Recipients of personal data

Within our company, only those departments that require your data to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations have access to it.

To provide our website and handle our processes, we use selected external service providers (e.g. hosting, IT service providers) that act as processors pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. These service providers have been carefully selected, contractually bound and may process data only in accordance with our instructions.

Otherwise, data is disclosed to third parties only if this is necessary to fulfil a contract with you, we are legally obliged to do so, or you have expressly consented.

11. Transfers to third countries

Personal data is transferred to countries outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) only if this is necessary for contract performance, you have consented, or another statutory permission exists, and in each case only subject to the requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR (e.g. adequacy decision by the European Commission or Standard Contractual Clauses).

If we use services involving such a transfer to a third country, we will provide separate information about this in this privacy policy.

12. Storage period

Unless otherwise stated for individual processing activities, the following applies:

Email: mailbox@datenschutz-berlin.de

16. No automated decision-making / profiling

We do not use your data for automated decision-making, including profiling, within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.

17. Current status and amendment of this privacy policy
