h) If you apply to a job advertisment at STRUKTURMETALL

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by e-mail or in paper form).
In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure you that your data will be collected, processed and used in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.

Scope and purpose of data collection

If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment rela-tionship. The legal basis for this is paragraph 26 new Federal Data Protection Act, (BDSG), under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 (1) (b) GDPR (general contract initiation) and - if you have given your consent - Art. 6 pa-ra. 1 (1) (a) GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of paragraph 26 new Federal Data Protection Act, (BDSG), and Art. 6 Para. 1 (1) (b) GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employ-ment relationship.

Storage period of the data

If we are unable to make you a job offer, if you reject a job offer or withdraw your appli-cation, we reserve the right to retain the data you have provided on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 (1) (f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. This storage serves in par-ticular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will only be deleted when the purpose for continued storage no longer applies.

Longer storage may also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 (1) (a) GDPR) or if legal storage obligations prevent deletion.

Inclusion in the applicant pool

If we do not make you a job offer, it may be possible to include you in our applicant pool. If you are accepted, all documents and details from your application will be in-cluded in the applicant pool so that we can contact you in the event of suitable va-cancies.

Inclusion in the applicant pool is based exclusively on your express consent (Art. 6 para. 1 (1) (a) GDPR). Your consent is given voluntarily and is not related to the cur-rent application process. The person concerned can revoke his/her consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, unless there are legal reasons for storage.

The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been given.

3. Transmission of data

Your personal data will not be transmitted to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We will only pass on your personal data to third parties if

• you have given your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (1) (a) GDPR,
• there is a legal obligation to pass on data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (1) (c) GDPR,
• this is legally permissible and is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (1) (b) GDPR,
• the recipient is a contract processor of ours, such as a computer partner, partner for shredding of documents or other service provider, provided that we comply with the legal requirements for order processing in this transmission.

Data processing in third countries only takes place if a recognised level of data protection in accordance with the standard of the GDPR is guaranteed in this country. This guarantee exists, for example, if the data processing takes place on the basis of special guarantees, such as contractual obligations through so-called standard protection clauses of the EU Commission, the existence of certifications or binding internal data protection regulations.

On the other hand, we use the tracking measures to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our offer.
The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the corresponding tracking tools.

a) Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, duration of visit, operating systems used and the origin of the user. This data may be summarised by Google in a profile that is assigned to the respective user or their end device.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 para. 1 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to store cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 (1) (a) GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

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

IP anonymisation 

We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing 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.

Browser plugin 

You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Details can be found under the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de

Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found in the Google Analytics Help https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de).

b) Google DoubleClick 

This website uses functions of Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, (hereinafter "DoubleClick").

DoubleClick is used to display interest-based advertisements to you throughout the Google advertising network. The advertisements can be targeted to the interests of the respective viewer with the help of Double-Click. For example, our ads may be displayed in Google search results or in banner ads associated with DoubleClick.

In order to be able to display interest-based advertising to users, DoubleClick must be able to recognise the respective viewer and associate him or her with the websites visited, clicks and other information on user behaviour. For this purpose, DoubleClick uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). The information collected is combined into a pseudonymous user profile in order to display interest-based advertising to the relevant user.

Google DoubleClick is used in the interest of targeted advertising measures. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 (1) (a) GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

For further information on how to object to the advertisements displayed by Google, please refer to the following links: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads and https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

5. Plug-ins

YouTube with extended data protection 

This website embeds videos from YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the disclosure of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the extended data protection mode. Thus, 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 the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube can save various cookies on your end device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve the user experience and prevent fraud attempts.

If necessary, further data processing processes may be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no control.

YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6, para. 1 (1) (f) GDPR. Insofar as a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 (1) (a) GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

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

7. Our social media presences

1. a) General information

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The individual social networks used by us can be found below.

Social networks such as Facebook etc. can generally comprehensively analyse your user behaviour when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (for example Like buttons or advertising banners). By visiting our social media presences, numerous processing operations relevant to data protection are triggered.

In detail:

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected under certain circumstances if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection takes place, for example, via cookies that are stored on your end device or by recording your IP address.

With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, you can be shown interest-based advertising inside and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the relevant social network, the interest-based advertising may be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.

Please also note that we are not able to track all processing procedures on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing procedures may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social media portals.

Our social media sites are intended to ensure as comprehensive a presence as possible on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 (1) (f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal grounds, which are to be stated by the operators of the social networks (for example, consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 (1) (a) GDPR).

If you visit one of our social media sites (for example Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. In principle, you can assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (for example, against Facebook).

Please note that despite the joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.

The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies, you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage period of your data, which is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (for example, in their privacy policy, see below).
