3. Collection of general data and information

The website of Gallmann & Schug Consulting - und Managementgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG collects a range of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serves to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Gallmann & Schug Consulting - und Managementgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required in order to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by Gallmann & Schug Consulting - und Managementgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG for statistical purposes and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

 

4. Cookies

The websites of Gallmann & Schug Consulting - und Managementgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved on a computer system via an internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that allows websites and servers to assign the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the affected person from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Gallmann & Schug Consulting - und Managementgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the setting of cookies.

Using a cookie, the information and offerings on our website can be optimized for the user's benefit. As mentioned before, cookies allow us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter their login data again every time they visit the website, as this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online store. The online store remembers the items a customer has added to the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The affected person can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by adjusting the settings of the internet browser used, and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the affected person disables the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all features of our website may be fully usable.

5. Contact possibility via the website

The website of Gallmann & Schug Consulting - und Managementgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG contains information, in accordance with legal requirements, that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (email address). If an affected person contacts the responsible party by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the affected person will be automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by an affected person to the responsible party will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the affected person. These personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.

6. Data protection in the application process

The responsible party collects and processes personal data from applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. The processing can also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case when an applicant submits their application documents electronically, for example via email or through a web form located on the website. If the responsible party concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal regulations. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after the rejection decision is communicated, unless there are other legitimate interests of the responsible party that oppose deletion. Other legitimate interests in this sense may include, for example, the obligation to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

11. Data Protection Provisions on the Use and Application of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)

The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, gathering, and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data on which website a data subject came from (known as the referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed, or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is primarily used to optimize a website and to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of online advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The controller uses the "_gat._anonymizeIp" add-on for web analysis via Google Analytics. With this add-on, Google shortens and anonymizes the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection when accessing our website from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the data and information collected, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to generate online reports for us showing activities on our website, and to provide further services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. As explained above, cookies are small text files stored on the user’s device. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the usage of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component is integrated, is called up, the internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data for the purpose of online analysis to Google. In the course of this technical procedure, Google becomes aware of personal data such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.

By means of the cookie, personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access occurred, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, is stored. With each visit to our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection, is transmitted to Google in the United States. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States. Google may share this personal data collected through the technical process with third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website, as described above, at any time by adjusting the settings of the used internet browser, and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the internet browser settings would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. In addition, any cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as to the processing of this data by Google, and to prevent such processing. To do so, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or disabled by the data subject or by another person under their control, the possibility of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on remains.

For further information and the applicable privacy policies of Google, please refer to https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link: https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

12. Routine Deletion and Blocking of Personal Data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or if required by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

  • The processing is unlawful, and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use.
  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
  • The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, and it is not yet determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

  If one of the above conditions applies and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored at Gallmann & Schug Consulting - und Managementgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Gallmann & Schug Consulting - und Managementgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG will arrange for the restriction of processing.

• f) Right to Data Portability

  Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

  Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, unless the decision is (1) necessary for the entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) based on Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) based on the explicit consent of the data subject.

• i) Right to Withdraw Consent to Data Processing

  Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

  If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

14. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our premises were injured and their name, age, health insurance details, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. This legal basis covers processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this regard, the legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 of the GDPR).

15. Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business activities for the benefit of all our employees and our shareholders.

16. Duration for which personal data is stored

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfillment of a contract or for initiating a contract.

17. Legal or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide data

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is in some cases required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contractual partner). In some cases, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data in order to conclude a contract, which we must then process. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will explain to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.

18. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
