2. collection and storage of personal data and the nature and purpose of their use

 

a) Collection of data when visiting our website

 

When you visit the website www.tdwe.de, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to the website server. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is collected without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted:

• IP address of the requesting computer
• Date and time of access,
• Name and URL of the retrieved file,
• Website from which the access is made (referrer URL),
• the browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer as well as the name of your access provider and
• other similar data used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

The aforementioned data is processed by tdwe for the following purposes:

• Ensuring a smooth connection to the website,
• Ensuring a comfortable use of our website,
• Evaluation of system security and stability and
• or other administrative purposes, such as ensuring the long-term functionality of our website.

The IP address is stored in encrypted form in the log files so that it cannot be traced back to your computer. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest in collecting the data follows from the purposes for data collection listed above and ultimately serves to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by tdwe. Under no circumstances will the data collected be used for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.

In addition, cookies are used when you visit the website. You can find more detailed explanations on this in section 5 of this privacy policy.

 

b) Collection of data when contacting us electronically or by other means

 

If you contact tdwe electronically, by telephone or in person, the personal data you provide will be stored by tdwe for the purpose of processing and responding to your enquiry. It will not be passed on to third parties. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted by tdwe after your enquiry has been answered, unless tdwe is entitled or obliged to store it for a longer period of time in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR - for example due to a subsequent mandate. In these cases, you will be informed separately and personally about further data processing by tdwe employees.

 

c) Collection of data for applications and in the application process

 

Personal data of applicants are stored and processed by tdwe for the purpose of handling the application procedure. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends the relevant application documents to tdwe electronically. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

If an employment contract is concluded with the applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. The applicant will be informed of this separately when the employment contract is concluded.

If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted three months after notification of the rejection decision, unless deletion conflicts with any other legitimate interests of the controller. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

 

3. Routine deletion of personal data

 

Personal data of the respective data subjects are only processed or stored by tdwe for the period required to fulfil the purpose of storage or as required by law. The criteria for the duration of storage are, in particular, statutory retention periods.

If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a legally prescribed storage period expires, the personal data is routinely deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

 

4. forwarding of data

 

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. tdwe will only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

• you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR,
• the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
• there is a legal obligation for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, and
• this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.
