Legal bases and intra-group data transfers 

We process personal data on the basis of Art. 6 GDPR, in particular for the initiation and performance of contracts such as accommodation agreements, for legal obligations and for legitimate interests. Intra-group transfers between the management company and the hotels are additionally based on the “small group privilege” (Recital 48 GDPR) for internal administrative purposes and, where applicable, on joint controllership under Art. 26 GDPR. Consents within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and, where applicable, Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a GDPR are obtained separately where required and may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future. 

 

Data categories and sources 

The data concerned may include in particular master and contact data, contract or booking and billing data, communication and usage data, and security or log data. Special categories of personal data are processed only with the relevant consent, e.g. health information. The data originate from you, from parties involved in handling your booking or stay, e.g. travel agencies, online travel agencies and other travel intermediaries, or from internal group systems for the purposes described above. 

 

Recipients and transfers to third countries 

Recipients include internal units of the central administration in Bremen and of the hotels. Processors within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 8 GDPR and Art. 28 GDPR may also receive data, e.g. IT, cloud, communications and support service providers, as well as other third parties where required, e.g. banks, advisers and authorities. For transfers to third countries, we ensure an adequate level of data protection, e.g. by an adequacy decision of the European Union such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or by Standard Contractual Clauses with supplementary measures. 

 

Retention 

Personal data are stored only for as long as necessary for the purposes or as long as statutory retention obligations apply. Afterwards the data are deleted or anonymised. Applicable periods include in particular commercial and tax retention periods. 

 

Obligation to provide data 

Certain information is required for the initiation or performance of contracts and for compliance with legal obligations. Without this information services may not be provided. 

 

Your rights 

You may exercise all rights described in this data protection statement, incl. those under Chapter III GDPR, against any of the joint controllers. We coordinate requests internally within the framework of the joint controllership. The contact details of our data protection officer are provided in this data protection statement.

1. Scope of processing of personal data
We process personal data from our users principally only to the extent necessary to provide
a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our
users is regularly only carried out with their consent. These consents can be revoked at any
time with effect for the future by informing the responsible. The contact details can be
found under "I. Name and address of the responsible".

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, art.
6 (1) (a) EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the
processing of personal data.
In the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the
data subject is a party, art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to
processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual actions.
Insofar as processing of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation that is required
for our company, art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests
of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, art. 6
(1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate
interests of our company or a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and
freedoms of the data subject do not prevail over the first interest, art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves
as legal basis for processing.

3. Data deletion and storage duration
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of
the storage expires. Additional storage may take place if provided for by the European or
national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the data controller is
subject. Blocking or deletion of the data also takes place when a storage period prescribed
by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data
for conclusion of a contract or fulfillment of the contract.

1. Description and scope of data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.

The following data is collected:

Information about the browser type and the version used
The operating system of the users
The Internet service provider of the user
The IP address of the user
Date and time of access
Websites from which the user's system accesses our website
Websites accessed by the user's system through our website
The data is also stored in the log files of our system. A storage of this data together with other personal data of the user does not take place.

2. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

3. Purpose of the data processing

The temporary storage by the system of the IP address is necessary to allow delivery of the website to the computer of the user. To do this, the user's IP address must be kept for the duration of the session.

Storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data is used to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

We have a justified interest in the processing of data for this purpose, according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

4. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection. In the case of collecting the data for providing the website, this is the case when the session is completed. In the case of storing the data in log files, data is stored for no more than seven days. After one day, the IP addresses of the users are anonymized, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

5. Objection and removal possibility

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user's computer system. When a user visits a website, a cookie may be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string that allows the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is reopened. We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser be identified even after switching pages. In addition, we use cookies on our website that allow an analysis of users' browsing behavior.

In this way, the following data is transmitted:
1. IP address, age, gender, interests
2. activities on the website during the visit
3. frequency of page views
4. use of website features
5. origin / visitor source

Technical precautions pseudonymize the data of the users collected in this way. This makes it much more difficult to assign the data to the calling user and is only possible with the help of an appropriate "key". The data will not be stored together with other personal data of the user.

2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies that are technically necessary or necessary for the provision of the service is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of personal data using all other cookies or cookies not strictly necessary for the provision of the service is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

3. Purpose of the data processing
The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some features of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after switching pages. The user data collected through technically necessary cookies will not be used to create user profiles. The use of the analysis cookies is for the purpose of improving the quality of our website and its contents. Through the analysis cookies, we learn how the website is used and so we can constantly optimize our services offered.

4. Duration of storage, objection and removal options
Cookies are stored on the computer of the user and transmitted by it to our page. For cookies requiring consent, a so-called cookie consent banner is made available to you when you visit the website. There you have the possibility, if you wish, to use our website only with the technically necessary cookies.

Furthermore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies. Already saved cookies can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are disabled for our website, it may not be possible to fully use all the functions of the website.

1. Description and scope of data processing 

Contact via the provided e-mail address is possible. In this case, the user's personal data that are transmitted by e-mail will be stored. In this context, data is not passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation. 

2. Legal basis for data processing 

The legal basis for the processing of the data is in the presence of the consent of the user Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of the data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If the e-mail contact aims to conclude a contract, then additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. 

3. Purpose of the data processing 

The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us only to establish contact with the user. In the case of contact via e-mail, this also includes the required legitimate interest in the processing of the data. The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. 

4. Duration of storage 

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection. 

5. Objection and removal possibility 

The user has the option at any time to revoke his or her consent to the processing of the personal data. If the user contacts us by e-mail, he or she may object to the storage of his or her personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation can not continue. You can always object to the storing of your data for the future by contacting info@atlantic-hotels.de, by mail to ATLANTIC Hotels Management GmbH, Ludwig-Roselius-Allee 2, 28329 Bremen or by phone +49 (0) 421 944888-0. All personal data stored in the course of the conversation will be deleted in this case. 

If your personal data are processed, you are the person affected within the meaning of  GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the data controller:

the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority;
all available information on the source of the data, if the personal data is not collected from the data subject;
the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling under Article 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in these cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, and the scope and intended impact of such processing on the data subject.

You have the right to request information about whether your personal information is passed on to a third country or an international organization. In this context, you can request to be informed of the appropriate guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

2. Right to rectification

You have a right to rectification and / or completion by the data controller, if your personal data being processed is incorrect or incomplete. The responsible person must make the correction immediately.

the processing is unlawful and you refuse the deletion of the personal data and instead demand restriction of the use of your personal data;
the data controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need it in order to assert, exercise or defend legal claims; or
if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, and it is not yet certain whether the legitimate reasons of the data controller outweigh your reasons.
If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, this data may only be used with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interests of the Union or a Member State. If the restriction of processing was restricted according to the above conditions, you will be informed by the data controller before the restriction is lifted.

4. Right to deletion

a) Obligation to delete

You may demand that the controller delete your personal information immediately, and the controller is required to delete that information immediately if one of the following is true:

Personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
You revoke your consent, which the processing was based on according to Art. 6 (1) (a) or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR and there is no other legal basis for processing.

Exceptions

The right to erasure is not in force if the processing is necessary:

to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
to fulfill a legal obligation required by the law of the Union or of the Member States to which the controller is subject, or performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
for reasons of public interest in the field of public health pursuant to Art. 9 (2) (h) and (i) and Art. 9 (3) GDPR;
for archival purposes of public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes according to Article 89 (1) GDPR, to the extent that the law referred to in subparagraph (a) is likely to render impossible or seriously affect the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or
to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
5. Right to information

If you have the right of rectification, erasure or restriction of processing to the controller, he / she is obliged to notify all recipients, to whom your personal data have been disclosed, of this correction or deletion of the data or restriction of processing, unless: this proves to be impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have a right to be informed about these recipients by the data controller.

6. Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive personally identifiable information that you provided to the controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transfer this data to another person without hindrance by the person responsible for providing the personal data, provided that

the processing is based on consent according to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR or on a contract according to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR
the processing is done by automated means.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to obtain that your personal data are transmitted directly from one controller to another, as far as technically feasible. This situation should not affect the freedoms and rights of other persons.
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

7. Right to object

You have the right at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data, which occurs pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you, unless he can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the purpose of enforcing, exercising or defending legal claims.
If the personal data relating to you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising.
If you object to processing for direct advertising purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.
Regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC, you have the option, in the context of the use of information society services, to exercise your right to object through automated procedures that use technical specifications.

8. Right to revoke the data protection consent declaration

You have the right to revoke your data protection declaration at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent before the revocation.

9. Automated decision in individual cases, including profiling

You have the right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - that will have legal effect or negatively affect you in a similar manner. This does not apply if the decision

is required for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
is permitted by Union or Member State legislation to which the controller is subject, and where such legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
occurs with your express consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2) (a) or (g) apply, and reasonable measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.
With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the person responsible shall take reasonable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person from the side of the controller, to present the case and to challenge the decision.
Right to complain to a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you shall have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your place of residence, employment or the place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of the personal data concerning you violates the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been submitted shall inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 of the GDPR.

Processing is carried out in particular for the following purposes:

  • Receipt, review and assessment of your application
  • Communication with you (e.g. scheduling appointments, follow-up questions, sending/receiving documents)
  • Conducting interviews and making selection decisions
  • Preparing an employment relationship (initiation of a contract)
  • Where applicable: asserting/defending legal claims (e.g. documentation obligations, in particular in connection with the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG))
  • Optional: inclusion in an applicant pool for future vacancies (only if you give us your consent)

 

Categories of personal data:

Depending on the type and scope of your application, we process in particular the following data:

  • Master data: surname, first name, where applicable form of address
  • Contact data: address, email address, telephone number
  • Application data: cover letter, CV, references, qualification certificates, references (if provided by you), salary expectations, earliest possible start date, preferred area/working hours
  • Communication data: content of messages/phone calls/emails, interview notes, appointment arrangements

 

Important note:

Please only provide us with data that are necessary for the application process. If you voluntarily provide information relating to special categories of personal data (Art. 9 GDPR; e.g. health data, religious affiliation), we will process such data only insofar as this is permitted and necessary in the individual case or you have expressly consented.

 

Legal bases for processing:

Depending on the circumstances, processing is carried out on the following legal bases:

  • § 26 Para. 1 BDSG (data processing for purposes of the employment relationship, in particular for deciding on the establishment of an employment relationship) in conjunction with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR (pre-contractual measures)
  • Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR, insofar as we are subject to legal obligations (e.g. documentation obligations)

  • Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent) (e.g. for extended retention (applicant pool) or for processing special information where required)

External recipients may include:

  • IT/system service providers, hosting and communication service providers (e.g. email), insofar as we use them as processors pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR
  • Legal advisers, courts, authorities or other bodies, insofar as this is necessary for the assertion/defence of legal claims or where a legal obligation exists

 

Transfers to third countries:

We generally process your application data within the European Union / the European Economic Area. Where, in individual cases, service providers in third countries are used, this is done only in compliance with the requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR (e.g. EU standard contractual clauses, adequacy decision).

 

Retention period / deletion:

We store your personal data only for as long as this is necessary for the purposes stated above.

If your application is successful, relevant application documents will be transferred to the personnel file and stored in accordance with statutory retention periods.

Longer retention (e.g. applicant pool) will take place only with your consent; in that case until withdrawal or until expiry of the agreed period (maximum one year).

If the Controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, unless other legitimate interests of the Controller prevent deletion. Such other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, an obligation to provide evidence in proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The data controller has integrated on this website the component Google Analytics (with anonymization function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data about referrers - from which website the user came to the website, which subpages of the website were accessed, or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used for optimization of a website and for cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland.

The controller uses the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analytics via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject will be shortened and anonymized by Google, if the access to our website is from a Member State of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze streams of visitors on our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics uses a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. What cookies are has already been explained above. Using this cookie makes it possible for Google to analyze the usage of our website. Each time one of the pages of this website, that is processed by the data controller and where a Google Analytics component is integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically initiated by the respective Google Analytics component to submit data to Google for online analysis purposes. As part of this technical process, Google receives information about personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which among other things serves Google to track the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently to allow commission billing.
The cookie stores personal data, such as access time, the location from which access was made, and the frequency of site visits by the data subject. Each time a user visits our website, this personal information, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transferred to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may transfer such personal data collected through this technical process to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies at any time by our website, as explained above, by changing the Internet browser settings and thus permanently preventing the setting of cookies. Such Internet browser settings would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time through the Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of the data generated by Google Analytics for the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the person must download and install a browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google to be an objection. If the data subject's information technology system is later deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the data subject must re-install the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or disabled by the data subject or any other person within their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Additional information and Google's privacy policy can be found at www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

You can prevent collection by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set, which prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website: Disable Google Analytics

This website uses the Meta Pixel for conversion measurement and to optimise advertising activities. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as 'Meta').

With the help of the Meta Pixel, the behaviour of website visitors can be tracked after they have been redirected to our website by clicking on a Meta advert (e.g. on Facebook or Instagram). This allows us to evaluate the effectiveness of adverts, create audiences (e.g. 'Custom Audiences') and optimise future advertising measures. In this context, usage and interaction data (e.g. page views, content accessed, click paths, time of access), technical information (e.g. IP address, device and browser information) and event data ('events') are processed.

We use the Advanced Matching function within the Meta Pixel. In doing so, additional hashed customer data (e.g. email address or phone number) may be transmitted to Meta in order to improve conversion attribution and create more precise audiences.

The use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TDDDG. Your consent may be withdrawn at any time.

Insofar as personal data is collected on our website and transmitted to Meta by means of the Meta Pixel, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited are joint controllers for this processing (Art. 26 GDPR). Joint controllership is limited solely to the collection of the data and its transmission to Meta. Any processing carried out by Meta after transmission is not part of the joint controllership and is carried out under Meta’s own responsibility. Meta provides terms for joint controllership for this purpose.

The data collected may also be stored and processed in the USA, i.e. a third country for which no adequacy decision of the European Commission exists. However, Meta relies on the European Commission’s EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework for the transfer of data to the USA.

Further information about data protection at Meta can be found in Meta’s privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/

You can also manage settings for interest-based advertising with Meta in your advertising preferences (login required) at https://accountscenter.facebook.com/ad_preferences/

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 (hereinafter referred to as "LinkedIn").

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, analyse the key professional data (e.g. career level, company size, country, location, industry and job title) of our website visitors and thus better tailor our site to the respective target groups. Furthermore, we can use LinkedIn Insight Tags to measure whether visitors to our websites make a purchase or take another 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 that allows us to display targeted advertising outside the website to visitors to our website, whereby, according to LinkedIn, no identification of the advertising addressee takes place.

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 (pseudonymised).

The direct identifiers of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymised 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 in the context of its own advertising measures.

The use of LinkedIn Insight exclusively on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TDDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contract clauses of the EU Commission (“SCC”). Details can be found here: www.linkedin.com/legal/l/dpa and www.linkedin.com/legal/l/eu-sccs

You can object to the analysis of usage behaviour and targeted advertising by LinkedIn at the following link: www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls

Furthermore, LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes in their account settings. To prevent LinkedIn from linking data collected on our website with your LinkedIn account, you must log out of your LinkedIn account before visiting our website.

ATLANTIC Hotels use the services of Perspective Software GmbH to make potential applicants aware of vacancies at ATLANTIC Hotels.

Provision of the online offer

We use an external service provider for the provision of our online offer:
Perspective Software GmbH, Mailbox 659770, D-96035 Bamberg (hereinafter "Perspective").

Perspective itself stores your data exclusively on European servers. However, there is a possibility that your data may be accessible to entities in the United States of America, as Perspective uses sub-processors located in the USA. As the European Union Commission has determined that the data protection laws of the United States do not ensure an adequate level of protection for personal data collected from data subjects in the European Union, Perspective provides additional measures and safeguards for data transfers to the United States in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR to ensure an adequate level of protection. For example, by entering into standard contractual clauses between Perspective and sub-processors.

I. Description and scope of data processing
Perspective processes your data for us in order to provide you with our online services. For this purpose, Perspective will automatically transmit your IP address to deliver the content and functionality of our Online Services to your browser or terminal device.

The following data may be collected:
1. information about the type of browser and the version used
2. the operating system of your computer
3. the Internet service provider you are using
4. the IP address of your terminal device
5. the date and time you access the Funnel
6. websites from which you came to our website ("referrer")

II. legal basis for data processing
Perspective stores the data mentioned under I. in so-called log files. This is done to ensure
- to ensure a smooth connection of the website,
- to ensure a comfortable use of our website
- the evaluation of system security and stability, and
- for other administrative purposes.

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is also necessary to enable delivery of the website to your computer. For this purpose, the IP address of your computer must remain stored for the duration of the session. Our legitimate interest in data processing also lies in these purposes. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

III. Duration of processing
The personal data processed by Perspective are deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected:
- In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
- In the case of storage of the IP address in log files, this is the case after 7 days at the latest.

IV. Data subject rights
You have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to demand the correction, blocking or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint with regard to this and other questions on the subject of data protection. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the event of violations of the GDPR. Because the data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. If you object, 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 purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims (objection under Article 21(1) DSGVO). Since the collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of our website, there should mostly be no possibility for you to object. You also have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances.
The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data has happened / is happening unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO, a balancing of your and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may - apart from being stored - only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, 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 a Member State.

Contact and enquiry management

We use an external service provider for the provision of contact, enquiry or application forms: Perspective Software GmbH, Mailbox 659770, D-96035 Bamberg (hereinafter "Perspective"). Perspective itself stores your data exclusively on European servers.
However, there is a possibility that your data may be accessible to entities in the United States of America because Perspective uses sub-processors located in the United States. As the European Union Commission has determined that the data protection laws of the United States do not ensure an adequate level of protection for personal data collected from data subjects in the European Union, Perspective provides additional measures and safeguards for data transfers to the United States in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR to ensure an adequate level of protection. For example, by concluding standard contractual clauses between Perspective and the sub-processors.

I. Description and scope of data processing
When using Perspective's contact, enquiry or application forms, the following data is transmitted to Perspective's servers:
- Date and time of access
- Websites from which you came to our website ("referrer")
- Context information (e.g. button clicks on the pages, selections made on the pages)
- Contents of all completed text fields (e.g. contact data, such as your name or address, or other personal data, depending on the question posed in the specific text field)
- Files uploaded by you

II. Purpose Legal basis of data processing
The purpose of this data processing is to ensure the communication you have entered into. The processing of your data from contact or enquiry or application forms is therefore initially based on your consent. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO. If a contract is initiated via an enquiry form, the legal basis is also Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO. The legal basis for the processing of data in an application form may also be Art. 88 DSGVO in conjunction with 26 BDSG in addition to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

III. Duration of processing
Your personal data will be kept for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose of the processing or until you withdraw your consent. Exempt from this principle is data that Perspective must retain due to legal obligations. These include, for example, the retention obligations under commercial and tax law. These retention periods are - currently - up to ten years.

IV. Data subject rights
You have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to demand the correction, blocking or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint for this purpose and for further questions on the subject of data protection.
Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the event of violations of the GDPR. You can revoke your consent to data processing at any time by informally notifying us (e.g. by e-mail). The revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation. You also have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances.
The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to check this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data has happened / is happening unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO, a balancing of your and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may - apart from being stored - only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
