3.5 Data processing in connection with our contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The principle of data minimisation is observed here, in that you only have to provide the data that we absolutely need from you to contact you. These are your e-mail address, your name, your postcode and the message field itself. In addition, your IP address is processed due to technical necessity and for legal protection. All other data are voluntary fields and can be provided optionally (e.g. to answer your questions more individually).

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b DS-GVO, insofar as your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) DS-GVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) DS-GVO) if this has been requested.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after we have completed processing your enquiry). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

In order to answer your enquiry, we will – if necessary – pass on your contact request to the responsible persons at the relevant WIEGEL company. A list of the WIEGEL companies that may be responsible for you can be found here: https://wiegel.co/sites/.

This is done on the basis of the legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU-DS-GVO on our part to contact you in an uncomplicated and speedy manner. You have the right to object to this.

 

3.6 Data processing in connection with an enquiry by e-mail, telephone or fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your enquiry including all resulting personal data (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.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b DS-GVO, insofar as your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO) if this has been requested.

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after we have completed processing your request). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

In order to answer your enquiry, we will – if necessary – pass on your contact request to the responsible persons at the relevant WIEGEL company. A list of the WIEGEL companies that may be responsible for you can be found here: https://wiegel.co/sites/.

This is done on the basis of the legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU-DS-GVO on our part to contact you in an uncomplicated and speedy manner. You have the right to object to this.

 

3.7 Recipients of the data / categories of recipients

Within our group of companies, we ensure that only those persons receive your data who need it to fulfil contractual and legal obligations.

In certain cases, service providers support our specialist departments in the fulfilment of their tasks. The necessary data protection contracts have been concluded with all service providers.

 

3.8 Disclosure to third parties

We will only pass on your data to third parties within the framework of the statutory provisions or with the corresponding consent. Otherwise, we will not disclose your data to third parties unless we are obliged to do so by mandatory legal provisions (disclosure to external bodies such as supervisory authorities or law enforcement agencies).

3.9 Third country transfer / intention to transfer to a third country

Data is only transferred to third countries (outside the European Union or the European Economic Area) if this is necessary for the implementation of the contractual relationship, is required by law or you have given us your consent.

We do not transfer your personal data to any service provider or group company outside the European Economic Area.

 

3.10 Storage period of the data

We store your data as long as it is needed for the respective processing purpose. Please note that numerous retention periods require that data continue to be stored even after the primary processing purpose has been fulfilled (e.g. for verification purposes). This applies in particular to retention obligations under commercial or tax law (e.g. German Commercial Code, German Fiscal Code, etc.). As soon as there are no longer any retention obligations, the data will be routinely deleted after the purpose has been achieved.

In addition, we may retain data if you have given us permission to do so or if there is a legal dispute and we use evidence under statutory limitation periods, which can be up to thirty years; the regular limitation period is three years.

 

3.11 Obligation to provide the data

Various personal data are necessary for the establishment, implementation and termination of the contractual relationship and the fulfilment of the associated contractual and legal obligations. The same applies to the use of our website and the various functions it provides.

In certain cases, data must also be collected or made available due to legal requirements. Please note that, for example, the processing of an enquiry or the implementation of an underlying contractual relationship is not possible without the provision of this data. However, if you provide all mandatory information, there will be no negative consequences for you.

 

3.12 Server log files

Server log files are not stored.

3.13 Secure transfer of your data

In order to protect the data stored with us in the best possible way against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons, we use appropriate technical and organisational security measures. The security level is continuously reviewed in cooperation with security experts and adapted to new security standards.

The data exchange from and to our website is encrypted. We offer HTTPS as the transmission protocol for our website, in each case using the current encryption protocols. In addition, we offer our users content encryption as part of the contact forms. The decryption of this data is only possible for us. In addition, there is the option of using alternative communication channels (e.g. the postal service).

 

3.14 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, this site uses TLS encryption. 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.

 

3.15 Links to other providers

Our website also contains – clearly recognisable – links to the websites of other companies. Insofar as there are links to websites of other providers, we have no influence on their content. Therefore, no guarantee or liability can be assumed for these contents. The respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible for the content of these pages.

The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations and recognisable infringements at the time of linking. Illegal contents were not recognisable at the time of linking. However, permanent monitoring of the content of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete indications of a legal violation. Such links will be removed immediately if infringements become known.

 

4. Data protection information for social media

We maintain presences in the “social media”, presently on Facebook and YouTube. Insofar as we have control over the processing of your data, we ensure that the applicable data protection regulations are complied with.

Below you will find the most important information on data protection law in relation to our websites.

 

4.1 Name and address of the person responsible for the company

In addition to us, the following company is responsible for the company websites in the sense of the DS-GVO as well as other data protection regulations:

Facebook
(Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland)

YouTube
(Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland)

However, you use these platforms and their functions on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating).

We would also like to point out that your data may be processed outside the European Union.

 

4.2 Purpose and legal basis

We ourselves maintain the fan pages in order to communicate with the visitors to these pages and to inform them about our offers in this way.

We also collect data for statistical purposes in order to be able to further develop and optimise the content and to make our offer more attractive. The data required for this (e.g. total number of page views, page activities and data provided by visitors, interactions) are processed by the social networks and made available to us. We have no influence on the generation and presentation of this data.

In addition, your personal data will be processed by the social media providers, but also by us, for market research and advertising purposes. It is possible, for example, that usage profiles are created based on your usage behaviour and the resulting interests. This allows, among other things, advertisements to be placed within and outside the platforms that correspond to your interests. Cookies are usually stored on your computer for this purpose. Independently of this, data that is not directly collected on your end devices may also be stored in your usage profiles. The storage and analysis also takes place across devices; this applies in particular, but not exclusively, if you are registered as a member and logged in to the respective platforms.

Beyond that, we do not collect or process any personal data.
The processing of your personal data by us is based on our legitimate interests in effective information and communication pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f. DS-GVO.

If you are asked for consent to data processing, i.e. if you declare your consent by confirming a button or similar (opt-in), the legal basis of the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a., Art. 7 DS-GVO.

 

4.3 Your rights / possibility to object

If you are a member of a social network and do not want the network to collect data about you via our website and link it to your stored membership data with the respective network, you must

  • log out of the respective network before visiting our fan page,
  • delete the cookies present on the device and
  • exit and restart your browser.

After logging in again, however, you will once more be recognisable to the network as a specific user.

Overall, you have the following rights regarding the processing of your personal data:

Right to information; right to rectification; right to erasure; right to restriction of processing; right to object; right to data portability; right to complain about unlawful processing of your personal data to the competent data protection authority.

Since we do not have complete access to your personal data, you should contact the providers of the social media directly if you wish to make a claim, as they each have access to the personal data of their users and can take appropriate measures and provide information.

If you still need help, we will of course try to support you. Please contact: datenschutz@wiegel.de.

4.4 Notes on copyright and artistic copyright

Should you wish to publish images, texts, plans, videos, music etc. on our website, you should be aware that by doing so you may be assigning all rights of use to the network, which could ultimately have legal consequences for you if you are not the author or rights holder yourself.

5. Data protection information for applicants (m/f/d)

5.1 Purpose and legal basis for processing Art. 6, para. 1, lit. a, b, f DS-GVO

Personal data of applicants are collected, processed or used for the purpose of carrying out and processing the application procedure and assessing the suitability for the position in question.

The processing of your applicant data is necessary in order to be able to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The primary legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 b) DS-GVO, § 26 para. 1 BDSG. If the processing of your data is based on consent, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. Furthermore, we may also process your data to exercise our house rights. The processing of special categories of personal data (e.g. health data) is based on your consent according to Art. 9 (2a) DS-GVO, unless legal permissions such as Art. 9 (2 b) are relevant. Your applicant data will be treated confidentially at all times. Should we wish to process your applicant data for a purpose not mentioned above, we will inform you of this in advance.

 

5.2 Origin (source) and categories of personal data processed

The categories of personal data processed include, in particular, your master data (first name, surname, name affixes, nationality), contact data (private address, (mobile) telephone number, e-mail address) as well as other data relating to the application procedure (cover letter, certificates, questionnaires, interviews, qualifications and previous activities). If you have also voluntarily provided special categories of personal data (e.g. health data, religious affiliation, degree of disability) in the letter of application or in the course of the application procedure, processing will only take place if you have consented to this or if a legal authorisation justifies this. Your personal data is generally collected directly from you as part of the recruitment process. In addition, we may have received data from third parties (e.g. recruitment agencies) to whom you have provided your data for disclosure. In addition, we process personal data that we have permissibly obtained from publicly accessible sources (e.g. professional social networks). In this respect, the processing of your data is based on Article 6 (1) b) DS-GVO.

Of course, you can also communicate with us in encrypted form for the transmission of sensitive data by e-mail. We can offer you various encryption methods for this purpose. Please contact us if you would like this.

 

5.3 Recipients (categories) of personal data

Within the company, only those persons and departments (management, personnel administration, specialist department, works council) receive your personal data that need them for the recruitment decision and to fulfil our pre-contractual/contractual and legal obligations.

External bodies (contractual partners) insofar as these are necessary for the fulfilment of the contract. External contractors (service companies) in accordance with Art. 28 DS-GVO to handle the processing of data on our behalf:
External IT service providers, personnel consultants, recruitment agencies, temporary employment agencies, waste disposal service providers.

Other external bodies, companies belonging to the group or other external bodies for the fulfilment of the above-mentioned purposes, insofar as the person concerned has declared his or her written consent, this is necessary for the fulfilment of the contract or a transfer is permissible for predominant legitimate interest:

5.4 Transfer to third countries

Personal data will not be transferred outside the European Union.

5.5 Duration of storage / deletion

According to the legal retention period: 6 months for applications due to job advertisement for consideration of the AGG.

We delete your personal data no later than six months after completion of the application process if an employment relationship does not materialise. This does not apply if legal provisions prevent deletion or if further storage is necessary for the purpose of providing evidence or if you have consented to longer storage. If we are unable to offer you a vacancy, but believe on the basis of your profile that your application may be of interest for future vacancies, we will store your personal application data beyond this, provided we have your express consent to do so. In this case, we will delete your data after a maximum of 12 months or if you revoke your consent.

 

5.6 Right to withdraw consent

Within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) a) or Art. 9 (2) a), every data subject has the right to revoke individual or all consents given for e.g. the performance of a contract at any time and without disadvantages for him/herself, without the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the revocation being affected.

The decision whether or not to establish an employment relationship with you can only be made if you provide us with certain personal data, such as your CV. In doing so, we naturally observe the principle of data economy and data avoidance in that you only have to provide us with the data that we need to fully examine your application documents or that we are legally obliged to collect.

Unfortunately, we cannot review your application documents without this data.

Of course, you have the option of voluntarily providing us with additional information in your application documents.

 

5.9 Third country transfer/intent to transfer

Data is only transferred to third countries (outside the European Union or the European Economic Area) if you have given us your consent to do so or if this is required by law.
