2. Purposes and Legal Basis for Processing Your Data

We process personal data in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), and other applicable data protection regulations (details below).
Which data, if applicable, is processed individually, also with the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and how it is used, depends significantly on the services requested or agreed upon. Further details or additions regarding the purposes of data processing can be found in the respective contract documents, forms, a declaration of consent, and/or other information provided to you (e.g., within the scope of using our website or our terms and conditions).
Furthermore, this data protection information may be updated from time to time, as you can see on our website www.dataglobalgroup.com.

2.1 Purposes for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 para. 1 b GDPR)
The processing of personal data takes place for the execution of our contracts with you and the fulfillment of your orders, as well as for the implementation of measures and activities within the scope of pre-contractual relationships, e.g., with prospective customers. In particular, the processing serves to provide services according to your orders and wishes and includes the necessary services, measures, and activities for this purpose. These essentially include contract-related communication with you, the corresponding billing and associated payment transactions, credit checks, the verifiability of transactions, orders, and other agreements, as well as quality control through appropriate documentation, goodwill procedures, measures for controlling and optimizing business processes, and for fulfilling general due diligence obligations, management and control by affiliated companies (e.g., parent company); statistical evaluations for corporate management, cost accounting and controlling, reporting, internal and external communication, emergency management, billing and tax assessment of operational services, risk management, assertion of legal claims and defense in legal disputes; ensuring IT security (including system and plausibility tests) and general security, including building and plant security, ensuring and exercising domiciliary rights (e.g., through access controls); ensuring the integrity, authenticity, and availability of data, prevention and investigation of criminal offenses; control by supervisory bodies or control instances (e.g., auditing).

2.2 Purposes within the scope of a legitimate interest of us or third parties (Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR)
Beyond the actual fulfillment of the contract or pre-contract, we may process your data if it is necessary to protect legitimate interests of us or third parties, particularly for the purposes of:

• advertising or market and opinion research, provided you have not objected to the use of your data;
• obtaining information and exchanging data with credit agencies, insofar as this exceeds our economic risk;
• the examination and optimization of procedures for needs analysis;
• the further development of services and products as well as existing systems and processes;
the training and (further) development of AI applications
• the disclosure of personal data within the scope of due diligence in company sale negotiations;
• for comparison with European and international anti-terror lists, insofar as this goes beyond legal obligations;
• the enrichment of our data, including through the use or research of publicly available data;
statistical evaluations or market analysis;
• benchmarking;
• the assertion of legal claims and defense in legal disputes that are not directly attributable to the contractual relationship;
• the restricted storage of data if deletion is not possible or only possible with disproportionately high effort due to the particular nature of the storage;
• the development of scoring systems or automated decision-making processes;
• the prevention and investigation of criminal offenses, insofar as not exclusively for the fulfillment of legal requirements;
• the anonymization of personal data;
• building and plant security (e.g., through access controls and video surveillance), insofar as this goes beyond general due diligence obligations;
• internal and external investigations, security audits;
• internal fraud or abuse prevention in connection with the fulfillment of a contract and pre-contractual measures, insofar as not exclusively for the fulfillment of legal requirements;
• the possible eavesdropping on or recording of telephone calls for quality control and training purposes;
• the obtaining and maintenance of private or official certifications;
• the safeguarding and exercise of domiciliary rights through appropriate measures, as well as through video surveillance to protect our customers and employees and to secure evidence in criminal offenses and their prevention.

2.3 Purposes within the scope of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 a GDPR)
The processing of your personal data for certain purposes (e.g., using your email address for marketing purposes) may also take place based on your consent. As a rule, you can revoke this at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent that were granted to us before the GDPR came into force, i.e., before May 25, 2018. You will be separately informed about the purposes and consequences of a revocation or non-granting of consent in the corresponding text of the consent.
In principle, the revocation of consent only takes effect for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected by this and remains lawful.

2.4 Purposes for the fulfillment of legal requirements (Art. 6 para. 1 c GDPR) or in the public interest (Art. 6 para. 1 e GDPR)
Like anyone involved in economic activity, we are subject to a variety of legal obligations. Primarily, these are legal requirements (e.g., commercial and tax laws), but also, if applicable, supervisory or other official regulations. The purposes of processing may include identity and age verification, fraud and money laundering prevention, the prevention, combating, and investigation of terrorist financing and crimes endangering assets, comparisons with European and international anti-terror lists, the fulfillment of tax control and reporting obligations, as well as the archiving of data for data protection and data security purposes and for inspection by tax and other authorities. Furthermore, the disclosure of personal data may be necessary within the scope of official/judicial measures for the purposes of evidence collection, criminal prosecution, or enforcement of civil law claims.

3. Categories of data processed by us, insofar as we do not receive data directly from you, and their origin

Insofar as this is necessary for the provision of our services, we lawfully process personal data received from other companies or other third parties (e.g., credit agencies, address publishers). In addition, we process personal data that we have lawfully obtained, received, or acquired from publicly accessible sources (such as telephone directories, commercial and association registers, registration registers, debtor registers, land registers, press, internet, and other media) and are permitted to process.
Relevant categories of personal data may include, in particular:
Personal data (name, date of birth, place of birth, nationality, marital status, profession/industry, and comparable data)
Contact data (address, email address, telephone number, and comparable data)
Address data (registration data and comparable data)
Customer history
Data on your use of the telemedia offered by us (e.g., time of access to our websites, apps or newsletters, pages/links clicked by us or entries and comparable data)
Video data

4. Recipients or categories of recipients of your data

Within our company, those internal departments or organizational units that require your data to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations or in the context of processing and implementing our legitimate interest will receive your data. Your data will only be transferred to external parties:
• in connection with contract execution;
• for the purpose of fulfilling legal requirements according to which we are obliged to provide information, report, or transfer data, or if the data transfer is in the public interest (cf. Section 2.4);
• insofar as external service providers process data on our behalf as processors or functional transferees (e.g., external data centers, support/maintenance of EDP/IT applications, archiving,
• document processing, call center services, compliance services, controlling, data screening for anti-money laundering purposes, data validation or plausibility checks, data destruction, purchasing/procurement, customer management, lettershops, marketing, media technology, research, risk controlling, billing, telephony, website management, auditing services, credit institutions, printing companies or companies for data disposal, courier services, logistics);
• based on our legitimate interest or the legitimate interest of the third party for the purposes mentioned under Section 2.2 (e.g., to authorities, credit agencies, debt collection, lawyers, courts, experts, affiliated companies and bodies and control instances);
• if you have given us consent to transfer data to third parties.
We will not transfer your data to other third parties beyond this. Insofar as we commission service providers within the framework of order processing, your data will be subject to the same security standards there as with us. In other cases, recipients may only use the data for the purposes for which they were transmitted to them.

5. Duration of storage of your data

We process and store your data for the duration of our business relationship. This also includes the initiation of a contract (pre-contractual legal relationship) and the execution of a contract.
Furthermore, we are subject to various retention and documentation obligations arising, among others, from the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Tax Code (AO). The periods specified therein for retention or documentation extend up to ten years beyond the end of the business relationship or the pre-contractual legal relationship.
In addition, special legal regulations may require a longer retention period, such as the preservation of evidence within the framework of statutory limitation periods. According to §§ 195 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB), the regular limitation period is three years; however, limitation periods of up to 30 years may also be applicable.
If the data is no longer required for the fulfillment of contractual or legal obligations and rights, it will be regularly deleted, unless its – temporary – further processing is necessary for the purposes listed under Section 2.2 due to an overriding legitimate interest. Such an overriding legitimate interest also exists, for example, if deletion is not possible or only possible with disproportionately high effort due to the special nature of the storage, and processing for other purposes is excluded by suitable technical and organizational measures.

6. Processing of your data in a third country or by an international organization

Data transfer to entities in countries outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) (so-called third countries) occurs if it should be necessary for the execution of an order/contract from or with you, if it is legally required (e.g., tax reporting obligations), if it is within the scope of a legitimate interest of ours or a third party, or if you have given us consent.
The processing of your data in a third country may also take place in connection with the involvement of service providers as part of order processing. If there is no decision by the EU Commission regarding an adequate level of data protection in the country concerned or for specific sectors in a third country, there is a risk of governmental access without adequate legal remedies. In this context, corresponding contracts (such as EU standard contractual clauses) and additional measures can be used as a basis for the transfer. Information on the appropriate or adequate safeguards and the possibility of obtaining a copy from you can be requested from the company’s data protection officer.

7. Your data protection rights

Under certain conditions, you can assert your data protection rights against us.
• For example, you have the right to obtain information from us about your data stored with us according to the rules of Art. 15 GDPR (possibly with restrictions according to § 34 BDSG).
• Upon your request, we will rectify the data stored about you in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR if it is inaccurate or incorrect.
• If you wish, we will delete your data according to the principles of Art. 17 GDPR, provided that other legal regulations (e.g., statutory retention obligations or the restrictions according to § 35 BDSG) or an overriding interest on our part (e.g., to defend our rights and claims) do not prevent this.
• Taking into account the conditions of Art. 18 GDPR, you can request us to restrict the processing of your data.
• Furthermore, you can object to the processing of your data according to Art. 21 GDPR, on the basis of which we must cease processing your data. However, this right to object only applies in the presence of very specific circumstances of your personal situation, whereby the rights of our company may, if applicable, conflict with your right to object.
• You also have the right to receive your data in a structured, common, and machine-readable format under the conditions of Art. 20 GDPR or to transmit it to a third party.
• In addition, you have the right to revoke any consent given for the processing of personal data at any time with effect for the future (cf. Section 2.3).
• Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). However, we recommend that you always address a complaint to our data protection officer first.
• Your requests regarding the exercise of your rights should, if possible, be addressed in writing to the address given above or directly to our data protection officer.

8. Scope of your obligations to provide us with your data

You only need to provide the data that is necessary for establishing and conducting a business relationship or for a pre-contractual relationship with us, or which we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will generally not be able to conclude or execute the contract. This may also refer to data required later in the course of the business relationship. If we request additional data from you, you will be separately informed about the voluntary nature of the information.

Information on your right to object Art. 21 GDPR
1. You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data, which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR (data processing based on a balancing of interests) or Art. 6 para. 1 e GDPR (data processing in the public interest), if there are reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 4 GDPR.

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 the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

2. We may also process your personal data for direct marketing purposes. If you do not wish to receive advertising, you have the right to object to this at any time; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. We will respect this objection for the future.

We will no longer process your data for direct marketing purposes if you object to the processing for these purposes.

The objection can be made informally and should preferably be addressed to

Some of the data is collected to ensure the error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior.
For this and other questions on data protection, you can contact us at any time.

Analysis Tools and Third-Party Tools
When visiting this website, your surfing behavior can be statistically evaluated. This is primarily done with so-called analysis programs.
Detailed information on these analysis programs can be found in the following privacy policy.

General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing on this Website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, provided that special categories of data according to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing also takes place on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing also takes place on the basis of § 25 para. 1 TDDDG.

Data Collection
Cookies
Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored on your end device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or until an automatic deletion by your web browser occurs.
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 from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions desired by you (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG); consent can be revoked at any time.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy.

2. Use of Third-Party Tools

To offer you an optimal website, we use third-party providers. We use the following services, through which personal data may also be processed:

2.1 Google

The operator of all Google services mentioned here is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

2.1.1 Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or statistics tools and other technologies on our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies, or perform independent analyses. It merely serves to manage and deploy the tools integrated through it. However, Google Tag Manager does collect your IP address, which may also be transferred to Google’s parent company in the United States.

The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the quick and uncomplicated integration and management of various tools on its website. If corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s terminal device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

The company is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the US, which aims to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the US.

2.1.2 Google Analytics

This website uses functions 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, duration of stay, operating systems used, and user origin. This data is aggregated into a user ID and assigned to the respective end device of the website visitor.

Furthermore, with Google Analytics, we can record, among other things, your mouse and scroll movements and clicks. Google Analytics also uses various modeling approaches to supplement the collected data sets and employs machine learning technologies for data analysis.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable user recognition 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 generally transferred to a Google server in the US and stored there.

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

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

2.1.3 Google Audiences

Google Ads Remarketing

This website uses the functions of Google Ads Remarketing. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

With Google Ads Remarketing, we can assign individuals who interact with our online offering to specific target groups, in order to subsequently display interest-based advertising to them within the Google advertising network (remarketing or retargeting).

Furthermore, the advertising target groups created with Google Ads Remarketing can be linked with Google’s cross-device functions. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages, which have been adapted to your previous usage and browsing behavior on one end device (e.g., mobile phone), can also be displayed on another of your end devices (e.g., tablet or PC).

If you have a Google account, you can object to personalized advertising via the following link: www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

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

Audience Creation with Customer Match

For audience creation, we use, among other things, Google Ads Remarketing’s Customer Match. In this process, we transfer certain customer data (e.g., email addresses) from our customer lists to Google. If the customers concerned are Google users and logged into their Google account, relevant advertising messages will be displayed to them within the Google network (e.g., on YouTube, Gmail, or in the search engine).

2.1.4 Google Ads

The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Ads enables us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters specific search terms on Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be displayed based on user data available to Google (e.g., location data and interests) (audience targeting). As website operators, we can quantitatively evaluate this data by, for example, analyzing which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and how many ads resulted in corresponding clicks.

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

2.3 LinkedIn Insight Tag

This website uses the Insight tag from LinkedIn. The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Data processing by LinkedIn Insight Tag

With the help of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we receive information about visitors to our website. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can, among other things, analyze the professional key data (e.g. career level, company size, country, location, industry and job title) of our website visitors and thus better align our site with the respective target groups. Furthermore, with the help of LinkedIn Insight Tags, we can measure whether visitors to our website make a purchase or other action (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement can also take place across devices (e.g. from PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also offers a retargeting function, with the help of which we can display targeted advertising to visitors to our website outside of the website, whereby, according to LinkedIn, the advertising addressee is not identified.

LinkedIn itself also collects so-called log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties and time of access). The IP addresses are shortened or (if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymized). The direct identifiers of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymized data is then deleted within 180 days.
The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be assigned to specific individuals by us as website operators. LinkedIn will store the collected personal data of website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it as part of its own advertising measures. Details can be found in LinkedIn’s privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig.

Legal basis

In addition, we process personal data that we have legitimately obtained, received or acquired from publicly accessible sources (such as commercial and association registers, registration registers, the press, the Internet and other media), insofar as this is necessary and we are permitted to process this data in accordance with the statutory provisions.
Relevant personal data categories may include in particular:
• Address and contact details (registration and comparable data, such as e-mail address and telephone number)
• Information about you on the Internet or in social networks
• Video data

4. Recipients or categories of recipients of your data

Within our company, those internal departments or organizational units receive your data that need it to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations (such as managers and specialists who are looking for a new employee or are involved in the decision on filling the position, accounting, company doctor, occupational safety, if applicable employee representation, etc.) or in the context of processing and implementing our legitimate interest. Your data will only be passed on to external bodies

  • for processing your application for a specific job advertisement or as an unsolicited application to employees of affiliated companies, insofar as they are involved in or support the decision on filling the position (see section 2.1).
  • for purposes for which we are obliged (e.g. financial authorities) or entitled to provide information, report or pass on data in order to fulfill legal requirements or the data transfer is in the public interest (see section 2.4);
  • insofar as external service companies process data on our behalf as processors or function providers (e.g. credit institutions, external data centers, travel agency/travel management, printing companies or companies for data disposal, courier services, post, logistics);
  • on the basis of our legitimate interest or the legitimate interest of the third party for the purposes mentioned under section 2.2 (e.g. to authorities, credit agencies, lawyers, courts, experts, affiliated companies and committees and control instances);
  • if you have given us your consent to the transfer to third parties.

We will not pass on your data to third parties beyond this, unless we inform you separately. If we commission service providers within the scope of order processing, your data there is subject to the security standards specified by us in order to adequately protect your data. In the remaining cases, the recipients may only use the data for the purposes for which it was transmitted to them.

5. Duration of storage of your data

In principle, we process and store your data for the duration of your application. This also includes the initiation of a contract (pre-contractual legal relationship).

In addition, we are subject to various retention and documentation obligations, which arise, among other things, from the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Tax Code (AO). The retention or documentation periods specified there are up to ten years beyond the end of the contractual relationship or the pre-contractual legal relationship. Electronic data will be deleted accordingly after six months. Should we want to store your data for longer for later vacancies or you have placed your data in an applicant pool, the data will be deleted at later points in time; details on this will be communicated to you in connection with the respective process.

If the data is no longer required for the fulfillment of contractual or legal obligations and rights, it will be deleted regularly, unless its – temporary – further processing is necessary for the fulfillment of the purposes listed under section 2.2 due to an overriding legitimate interest of our company. Such an overriding legitimate interest exists, for example, if deletion is not possible or only possible with disproportionately high effort due to the special nature of the storage. In these cases, we may also store your data after the end of our contractual relationship for a period agreed with the purposes and, if necessary, use it to a limited extent. In principle, in these cases, a restriction of processing takes the place of deletion. In other words, the data is blocked against the otherwise usual use by appropriate measures.

6. Processing of your data in a third country or by an international organization

A data transfer to bodies in countries outside the European Economic Area EU/EEA (so-called third countries) takes place when it should be necessary for the execution of a contractual obligation to you (e.g. application for a position abroad), or it is in the context of a legitimate interest of us or a third party or you have given us your consent.

The processing of your data in a third country may also take place in connection with the involvement of service providers within the scope of order processing. If there should be no decision by the EU Commission on an adequate level of data protection existing there for the country concerned or for specific sectors in a third country, corresponding contracts (such as EU standard contracts) and additional measures can be used as a basis for the transfer. Information on the suitable or appropriate guarantees and on the possibility of obtaining a copy from you can be requested from the company data protection officer.

7. Your data protection rights

Under certain conditions, you can assert your data protection rights against us.

Every data subject has the right to information according to Art. 15 DS-GVO, the right to rectification according to Art. 16 DS-GVO, the right to erasure according to Art. 17 DS-GVO, the right to restriction of processing according to Art. 18 DS-GVO and the right to data portability from Art. 20 DS-GVO. The restrictions according to §§ 34 and 35 BDSG apply to the right to information and the right to erasure. In addition, there is a right of appeal to a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 DS-GVO i.V.m. § 19 BDSG).

Your requests regarding the exercise of your rights should, if possible, be addressed in writing to the address given above or directly to our data protection officer.

8. Extent of your obligations to provide us with your data

You only need to provide the data that is required for the processing of your application or for a pre-contractual relationship with us or for the collection of which we are legally obliged. Without this data, we will generally not be able to continue the application and selection process. If we ask you for data beyond this, you will be informed separately about the voluntary nature of the information.

9. Existence of automated individual decision-making (including profiling)

We do not use any purely automated decision-making processes in accordance with Article 22 GDPR. Should we nevertheless use such a procedure in individual cases in the future, we will inform you about this separately, provided that this is required by law.

Information about your right to object Art. 21 GDPR

  1. You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data, which takes place on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 f GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balance of interests) or Art. 6 Para. 1 e GDPR (data processing in the public interest). However, this requires that there are reasons for your objection that arise from your particular personal situation. This also applies to profiling within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 4 GDPR based on this provision.

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

You can of course withdraw your application at any time.

  1. There are no plans to use your personal data for direct marketing purposes. Nevertheless, we must inform you that you have the right to object to advertising at any time; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. We will respect this objection for the future.

The objection can be made informally and should be addressed to
