We incorporate the Google Analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA, on our website. For this purpose, cookies and similar technologies, in particular JavaScript, are used to save and read data on your end device.
In the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA), Google Analytics is offered as a service by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, which supports us as a processor under Article 28 GDPR .
Google Analytics creates usage profiles based on pseudonyms (recognition features from cookie and device ID and other data on the end device used or the so-called browser fingerprint) and usage data (e.g. name and address of the website content requested by your browser, referral links , Description of the web browser and operating system used as well as the IP address of the requesting terminal). Demographic data, such as age, gender and interests of the users, as well as interactions such as button clicks, scrolling depth and length of stay are also recorded, analyzed and merged with existing pseudonymous data.
With regard to the processing of your IP address, we have configured “Google Analytics” in such a way that it is shortened within the EU by the function “_anonymizeIp ()” before it is transmitted to the Google servers in the USA.
We transfer your data to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland and Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA. In principle, we have no influence on further data processing by the third-party provider. Further information on how Google handles personal data can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de . By integrating Google Analytics on our websites, data is transmitted to the above-mentioned recipients and stored there for a period of 26 months.
In principle, we do not pass on your data to recipients based outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Only the processing of your data by Google Analytics, as well as YouTube, if you have consented to the use of the corresponding cookies, causes a data transfer to the servers of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Some of these servers are located in the USA. For the USA, there is no adequacy decision by the EU, so a lower level of data protection than in the EU must be assumed. This may mean that you may not be able to adequately exercise your rights as the data subject. In addition, we cannot influence the extent to which Google uses your data for its own purposes. However, we have concluded so-called standard contractual clauses with Google, through which we contractually oblige Google to comply with European data protection standards.
You are neither contractually nor legally obliged to provide us with personal data. If you do not want cookies to be set, you can prevent this by means of the aforementioned settings, select the categories of cookies accordingly, or revoke or adjust any consent you may have given.
The storage period for cookies can be found in our cookie policy. If the information “persistent” is indicated in the column “Expiry”, the cookie is stored permanently until the corresponding consent is revoked.
You have the possibility to share job postings published on our website, e.g. via social networks.
For reasons of data protection, we have deliberately decided against integrating the share function of the various social networks directly into this page as a social plug-in. For this reason, the "share" functions integrated on this page are only implemented as links. The link first refers to the pages of the social networks in a new window. Therefore, simply accessing this page does not transfer any data to providers of social media services. A profile creation by third parties is therefore excluded. However, we do not want to deny these opportunities to those visitors who would like to "share" the contents of our website with their social network. Only if you consciously press the respective “Share” button will data be transmitted to the provider of the social network you have selected.
Purposes and legal basis of data processing
The legal basis for data processing when using the “share” function is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The legitimate interest here arises from the interest in being able to offer this function to the user of our website as a voluntary option.
Recipients / categories of recipients
The "sharing" of the contents of our website then means that certain data can be transmitted to the provider of the social media service, for example:
the address of the website
Date and time the website was accessed or the share button was pressed
Information about the browser and operating system used
your current IP address
the content you shared
The shared content can then also be viewed by other users of the same social network, depending on the data protection setting of your own account. If you are already logged in to the corresponding social media service at the time you press the share button, its provider is also able to determine your user name and, if necessary, your real name from the above-mentioned data. This data can also be processed by the provider in countries outside the EU. We have no influence on the scope, type and purpose of data processing by the provider. Please note that providers of social media services are able to create pseudonymized and even individualized user profiles with the above-mentioned data.
Obligation to provide your data
You neither contractually nor legally obliged to provide us with personal data or to transmit it by using the “share” function. It is free to use the function presented and the associated data processing or not.
Storage duration / criteria for determining the storage duration
The duration of the display of the content you have shared depends on the privacy settings of your account with the respective social network, as well as their privacy policy. We have no influence on this.
We have integrated YouTube videos into our online offering, which are stored at http://www.YouTube.com and can be played directly from our website. These are all integrated in the "extended data protection mode", which means that no data about you as a user is transferred to YouTube if you do not play the videos. The data is only transferred when you play the videos no influence.
Further information on the purpose and scope of the data collection and its processing by YouTube can be found in the data protection declarations of the provider. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options for the protection of your privacy. YouTube address and privacy policy: Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway. Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ .
We, Schwarz Digits KG and the respective operators of the social media platforms are partly responsible for the data collection and processing described below. For certain processing operations, we and the platform operators also act as joint controllers within the meaning of Article 26 GDPR.
We operate the following social media sites:
LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/98943909
LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/102640300
We have only limited influence on the data processing by the operators of the social media platform (e.g. management of the members and the shared information). At the points where we can influence and parameterize the data processing, we work towards the data protection-compliant handling by the operator of the social media platform within the scope of the possibilities available to us. In many cases, however, we cannot influence the data processing by the operator of the social media platform and also do not know exactly which data they process.
The platform operator operates the entire IT infrastructure of the service, maintains its own data protection regulations and maintains its own user relationship with you (if you are a registered user of the social media service). In addition, the operator is solely responsible for all questions regarding the data of your user profile, to which we as a company have no access.
For more information on data processing by the social media platform provider and other options for objection, please refer to the provider's privacy policy:
LinkedIn: https://de.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?trk=d_org_guest_company_overview_footer-privacy-policy
The purpose of the data processing by us on our social media sites is to inform customers about services, promotions, competitions, factual topics, company news and the interaction with visitors to the social media sites on these topics, as well as to respond to corresponding questions, praise or criticism.
We only reserve the right to delete content if this is necessary. If necessary, we will share your content on our site if this is a function of the social media platform and communicate with you via the social media platform. The legal basis is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The data processing takes place in the interest of our public relations and communication. The operator has no influence on the processing of your data carried out by us in the context of customer communication or competitions.
As already mentioned, wherever the provider of the social media platform gives us the opportunity, we make sure that our social media pages are as compliant with data protection as possible.
The data entered by you on our social media pages, such as B. comments, videos, pictures, likes, public messages, etc. are published by the social media platform and are not used or processed by us for other purposes at any time. We only reserve the right to delete illegal content if this is necessary. This is the case, for example, with infringing or unlawful posts, hateful comments, suggestive comments (explicitly sexual content) or attachments (e.g. images or videos), which may violate copyrights, personal rights or criminal laws.
If necessary, we will share your content on our site if this is a function of the social media platform and communicate via the social media platform. If you send us a request on the social media platform, we may also refer you to other secure communication channels that guarantee confidentiality, depending on the required response. You always have the option of sending us confidential inquiries to the address given under point A. or in the legal notice.
You are neither contractually nor legally obliged to provide us with personal data. If you use our pages on social media for purely informational purposes, we do not collect any personal data from you. If you do not want to provide us with your personal data, you can still visit our pages. However, you cannot use advanced functions such as B. use the news function, the posting of pictures or contributions, etc.
All personal information that you provide to us in response to inquiries will be deleted or securely anonymized by us no later than 90 days after the final response has been issued to you. The retention of 90 days is explained by the fact that it may occasionally happen that you contact us again after a response about the same matter and we then have to be able to refer to the previous correspondence. Experience has shown that questions about our answers usually no longer occur after 90 days. If you assert your rights as a data subject, your personal data will be stored for 3 years after the final response to prove that we have provided you with comprehensive information and that the legal requirements are complied with.
All public posts by you on one of our social media pages remain in the timeline indefinitely, unless we delete them due to an update of the underlying topic, a legal violation or a violation of our guidelines or you delete the post yourself. We have no control over the deletion of your data by the operator. Therefore, the data protection regulations of the respective operator apply in addition.
In some cases, there is a relationship with the operator of the social media service in accordance with Article 26 (1) GDPR (joint responsibility):
The platform operators and we are jointly responsible for the web tracking methods used by the operator of the social media platform. Web tracking can also take place regardless of whether you are logged in or registered with the social media platform. As already mentioned, we can unfortunately hardly influence the web tracking methods of the social media platform. We cannot switch this off, for example.
The legal basis for the web tracking methods is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The interest in optimizing the social media platform and the respective fan page is to be regarded as justified within the meaning of the aforementioned regulation.
Further information on the recipients or categories of recipients as well as the storage period or the criteria for determining the storage period can be found in the data protection declarations of the platform operators. We have no influence on these.
The options for exercising your rights to prevent these web tracking methods can be found in the data protection declarations of the platform operators. You can also contact the platform operators using the contact details provided in the respective legal notice.
