3 General notes and mandatory information

Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this
privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the responsible body

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is

IVG – Industrieverband Giesserei-Chemie e. V.
Sankt-Florian-Weg 1, 30880 Laatzen
Telephone: +49 511 9849010
E-mail: datenschutz@giessereichemie.de

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal e-mail. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you lodge an objection, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).

If your personal data are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Information, blocking, erasure and rectification

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data at any time. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice if you have further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do so, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to check this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its erasure.
• If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

Objection to advertising emails

The use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby expressly rejected. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example via spam emails.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from ‘http://’ to ‘https://’ and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Cookies

Cookies Some of the Internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process or for the provision of certain functions you have requested are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

Cookie consent with Borlabs Cookie

Our website uses cookie consent technology from Borlabs Cookie to obtain your consent to store certain cookies in your browser and to document this in accordance with data protection regulations. This technology is provided by Borlabs – Benjamin A. Bornschein, Georg-Wilhelm-Str. 17, 21107 Hamburg (hereinafter referred to as Borlabs).

When you enter our website, a Borlabs cookie is stored in your browser, in which the consents you have given or the revocation of these consents are stored. This data is not passed on to the provider of Borlabs Cookie.

The collected data will be stored until you request us to delete it, delete the Borlabs cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected. Details on data processing by Borlabs Cookie can be found at https://de.borlabs.io/kb/welche-daten-speichert-borlabs-cookie/

Borlabs cookie consent technology is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• Browser type and browser version
• operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

Enquiry by email, telephone or fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all personal data arising from it (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided that your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us.

The data you send us via contact enquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage or the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Processing customer and contract data

We collect, process and use personal data only to the extent necessary for the establishment, content or modification of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process and use personal data relating to the use of our website (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill for it.

The customer data collected will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Application by email, post, telephone, online tool or fax

We offer you the opportunity to apply for a position with us (e.g. by email, post or via our online application form). Below, we provide information about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during 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 legal provisions, and that your data will be treated as strictly confidential.

The following categories of data are processed:
• Personal details: first name and surname, maiden name, address, contact details, date of birth, CV, qualifications
• Details of your application: desired position, salary expectations, availability, willingness to work shifts and on assembly lines, preferred location
• Details of previous employment and current professional situation

The data you provide will be used exclusively for processing your application and is legitimised by Article 88 GDPR and Section 26 BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act), Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation) and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons involved in processing your application. The selection is not made in an automated decision-making process; instead, we review each application individually. Your data will not be transferred to third countries.

Insofar as we transfer personal data of the applicant to the social security institution, this is justified in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR. The following categories of data are transferred to the social security institutions: personal details, details of employment.

If, as part of their application, the applicant participates in support measures or labour market projects organised by the Federal Employment Agency (Bundesagentur), working groups (ARGE) or option municipalities as part of their application, or if they make use of services provided by these institutions (collectively referred to as ‘labour market projects’), we are entitled to transfer personal data to these institutions and third parties to the extent that this is necessary for the purpose of the labour market projects or required by law. If the applicant wishes to participate in labour market projects with our support, any data transfer that is appropriate for the purpose of the labour market project is required. The legal basis in this case is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, § 26 BDSG-Neu. The following categories of data are transferred to the institutions: personal details, details of employment, details of previous employment.

Furthermore, it is possible that third parties may gain access to your data in the course of IT maintenance and data carrier destruction. We have concluded a contract with these processors so that your data may not be passed on by them or must be processed in accordance with our instructions.

We store your data unless there are legal retention obligations (including Section 257 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) or Section 147 of the German Fiscal Code (AO)) that prevent this, as follows: 6 months after the date of non-recruitment, otherwise transfer to the personnel file. This deletion period is based on Section 15 (4) of the AGG, 2 months. For applications, this period begins at the end of the day on which the applicant receives the rejection. In order to prevent any interruption of the limitation period, we have increased this period to 6 months from the date of non-recruitment. We may store the data until we can be sure that all possible claims have become statute-barred. This may be possible through interruptions of the limitation period. Before permanently deleting your data, we will check again whether storage is still necessary or permitted. The data will be deleted from all our systems and the systems of our service providers. If data records must still be retained due to legal requirements, they will be blocked for processing. Paper application documents will be returned to the applicant unless this has been excluded in advance. Only with the consent of the applicant will the applicant data be stored for the agreed period from the end of the application process (date of rejection).

Inclusion in the applicant pool

We offer you a candidate pool for your application. In this case, we will transfer all your documents and information from your application to the candidate pool so that we can contact you if a suitable position becomes available. If you agree to us keeping your data in our applicant pool for further job vacancies for a period exceeding 6 months, please send us your consent by email or post. This consent can be revoked at any time in the future.

The legal basis for inclusion in the applicant pool is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (your consent). The provision of consent is voluntary. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. If you exercise this right, we will irrevocably delete your data from the applicant pool, unless there are legal reasons for retention.

We will irrevocably delete your data from the applicant pool no later than two years after you have given your consent.

Registration on this website

You can register on our website to use additional features on the site. We only use the data you enter for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject your registration.

The data entered during registration will be processed for the purpose of fulfilling the user relationship established by the registration and, if applicable, for initiating further contracts (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).

The data collected during registration will be stored by us for as long as you are registered on our website and will then be deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
