Privacy Policy

General Information The following notes provide a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data means all data with which you can be personally identified. You can find detailed information on data protection in our privacy policy listed below this text. Data Collection on This Website Customize Who is responsible for data collection on this website? Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find the operator’s contact details in the section “Notice on the Controller” in this privacy policy. How do we collect your data? On the one hand, your data is collected when you provide it to us. This may, for example, be data that you enter in a contact form. Other data is collected automatically or after your consent when you visit the website by our IT systems. This is mainly technical data (e.g., internet browser, operating system, or time of page access). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website. What do we use your data for? Part of the data is collected to ensure the error-free provision of the website. Other data can be used to analyze your user behavior. What rights do you have regarding your data? You have the right at any time to receive, free of charge, information about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the rectification or deletion of this data. If you have given consent to data processing, you can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on the subject of data protection. Analytics Tools and Third-Party Tools When you visit this website, your browsing behavior may be statistically evaluated. This is done primarily with so-called analysis programs. You can find detailed information about these analysis programs in the privacy policy below. Hosting and Content Delivery Networks (CDN) External Hosting This website is hosted by an external service provider (host). The personal data collected on this website is stored on the host’s servers. This may primarily include IP addresses, contact requests, metadata and communication data, contract data, contact details, names, website access data, and other data generated via a website. The use of the hoster is for the purpose of fulfilling a contract with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast, and efficient provision of our online offering by a professional provider (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Our host will process your data only to the extent necessary to fulfill its performance obligations and follow our instructions with respect to this data. We use the following host: IONOS Conclusion of a Processing Agreement To ensure processing is compliant with data protection regulations, we have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with our host. 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 statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data by which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens. We point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g., when communicating by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. Notice on the Controller The controller responsible for data processing on this website is: HRsolution International GmbH Hochstr. 13 40764 Langenfeld Represented by: H. Gerhard Benneck The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.). Storage Duration Unless a more specific storage period is specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion occurs after these reasons cease to apply. Notice on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries Among other tools, we use services from companies based in the USA or in other third countries that are not secure from a data protection perspective. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We point out that these countries may not guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be excluded that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities. Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. Right to Object to Data Collection in Particular Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR) IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ARTICLE 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AT ANY TIME AND ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; 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 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 ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(1) GDPR). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(2) GDPR). Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority In the event of violations 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 the 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 which we process on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract automatically delivered to yourself or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible. SSL or TLS Encryption For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser’s address line changing 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. Right of Access, Erasure, and Rectification Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free access to your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this as well as other questions on the subject of personal data. Right to Restriction of Processing You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases: If you contest 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 restriction of the processing of your personal data. If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of deletion. If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion. If you have objected pursuant to 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 restriction of the processing of your personal data. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data—apart from its storage—may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense 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. Data Collection on This Website Cookies Our internet pages use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small text files and do no harm to your end device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until your web browser deletes them automatically. Cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g., cookies for processing payment services). Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or display advertising. Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies), to provide certain functions you have requested (functional cookies, e.g., for the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies to measure web audience) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Insofar as consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, storage of the relevant cookies is based exclusively on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR); consent can be revoked at any time. You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. Where cookies from third-party companies or for analysis purposes are used, we will inform you separately within this privacy policy and, if necessary, request consent. 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 Hostname 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(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website—for this, the server log files must be collected. Contact Form If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if requested. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions, especially retention periods, remain unaffected. Inquiry by Email, Telephone, or Fax If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if requested. The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions, especially statutory retention periods, remain unaffected. Analytics Tools and Advertising Google Analytics This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, time spent, operating systems used, and the origin of the user. Google may combine this data into a profile that is assigned to the respective user or their device. We can also record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks with Google Analytics, among other things. In addition, Google Analytics uses various modeling approaches to supplement the collected datasets and employs machine learning technologies in data analysis. Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its web offering and its advertising. If corresponding consent was requested (e.g., consent to store cookies), processing is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time. Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/ . IP Anonymization We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. As a result, your IP address will be shortened by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Browser Plugin You can prevent Google from collecting and processing your data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en More information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en&sjid=15538347030756808966‒EU Data Processing Agreement We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics. Retention Period User- and event-level data stored by Google that is linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g., User ID), or advertising IDs (e.g., DoubleClick cookies, Android Advertising ID) is anonymized or deleted after 2 months. Details can be found at: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=en&sjid=15538347030756808966‒EU Google Ads The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ads allows us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters certain search terms at Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be displayed based on user data available to Google (e.g., location data and interests) (audience targeting). As the website operator, we can evaluate these data quantitatively, for example by analyzing which search terms led to the display of our ads and how many ads resulted in corresponding clicks. The use of Google Ads is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the most effective marketing of its products and services. Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks?hl=en and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/ . Google Conversion Tracking This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. With the help of Google Conversion Tracking, both Google and we can recognize whether the user has carried out certain actions. For example, we can evaluate which buttons on our website are clicked how often and which products are particularly often viewed or purchased. This information is used to create conversion statistics. We learn the total number of users who have clicked on our ads and what actions they have performed. We do not receive any information that personally identifies the user. Google itself uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies for identification. The use of Google Conversion Tracking is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its web offering and its advertising. If corresponding consent was requested (e.g., consent to store cookies), processing is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time. More information about Google Conversion Tracking can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
