We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy policy

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.

c) Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting its future processing.

e) Profiling

Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

f) Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing

The controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular enquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

j) Third party

A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process the personal data.

k) Consent

Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

We are delighted that you are interested in us and our services and that you have contacted us.

The protection of your data is very important to us. With this data protection notice, we provide you with the following information in accordance with Art. 13 GDPR on the processing of your personal data in connection with our business relationship.

We only process personal data that we have received from you or, if applicable, from publicly accessible sources as part of our business relationship or as part of our projects.

Personal data within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR may include Names, telecommunication data and address data. In addition, we also process offer, enquiry and order data, data from the fulfilment of our contractual obligations, product data, documentation data and other data comparable to the categories mentioned. This data may vary depending on the project.

The provision of your personal data is necessary for the initiation, execution and fulfilment of the contractual relationship. If you do not provide it, we will unfortunately not be able to contact you to clarify pre-contractual or contractual issues.

Your personal data is processed in accordance with the statutory provisions of the GDPR and the Federal Data Protection Act for the fulfilment of contractual obligations or for measures to initiate a contract (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR),

We may also use this data for additional purposes within the scope of our business relationship. Depending on the project (e.g. GAP Year), we may also require your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR in order to process your data.

We process and store your personal data for the duration of our business relationship and at least in accordance with the statutory retention periods such as the German Commercial Code or Tax Code.

We only use the personal data for the agreed purposes in the course of the business relationship. If third parties are involved in work processes that would make it necessary to pass on your data for processing exclusively for this purpose, we apply the same high standards and oblige the third party to comply with data protection regulations as part of an agreement on commissioned data processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

If necessary, your data will be passed on to technical service providers who use your data exclusively on our behalf and under no circumstances for their own business purposes.

We are delighted that you are interested in our company and are applying or have applied for a position.

The protection of your data is very important to us. This data protection notice provides you with the following information on the processing of your personal data in connection with your application.

We process the personal data provided to us in connection with your application in order to check your suitability for the position (or any other comparable vacancies/positions in our company) and to carry out the application process.

Automated decision-making does not take place.

Without the provision of the data, it is not possible to carry out the application process and we will unfortunately not be able to consider you for the position(s) in question.

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in the application procedure is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR or in conjunction with Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR. Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR in conjunction with. § Section 26 para. 1 sentence 1 BDSG. If necessary, the processing is based on your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR (see below).

Your application data will be processed for the duration of the application process and deleted after 6 months at the latest in the event of a rejection.

If you would like us to include your data in our applicant pool for the next possible vacancy, your applicant data will be deleted after 2 years at the latest. In this case, we require a corresponding consent, which you can revoke at any time without giving reasons with effect for the future. The legality of the processing prior to the time of cancellation remains unaffected.

If you are hired as part of the application process, the data from the application system will be transferred to our HR system.

In individual cases, the storage period may be longer. The storage period then depends on the statutory retention obligations, such as the German Commercial Code or Fiscal Code.

Your application documents will be analysed after receipt by employees of the HR department or by other responsible managers or specialists in our company. Within the company itself, only those persons who are responsible for the application process have access to your data.

Your data may be passed on to technical service providers who use your data exclusively on our behalf and under no circumstances for their own business purposes.

Your data will not be passed on to any other third parties.

Your data will not be processed in a third country and such processing is not planned.

Nature and purpose of processing:
When you access our website, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet service provider, your IP address and similar.
It is processed in particular for the following purposes:

• Ensuring a smooth connection to the website,
• Ensuring the smooth use of our website,
• analysing system security and stability and
• to optimise our website.

We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person. Information of this kind may be statistically evaluated by us in anonymised form in order to optimise our website and the technology behind it.

Recipients:
Recipients of the data may be technical service providers who act as processors for the operation and maintenance of our website.

Storage period:
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. This is generally the case for the data used to provide the website when the respective session has ended.

Use of social media profiles

We access the technical platform and services of the respective social media providers to display our content on a social media profile.

As the operator of the social media profile, we, Rink GmbH & Co KG, are jointly responsible with the operator of the social network within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 7 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). When you visit our social media profile, personal data is processed by the controller. In the following, we will inform you about what data is involved, how it is processed and what rights you have in this regard.

Please note that you use this website and its functions under your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating, etc.). We may take your comments and ratings as an opportunity to respond to them with our own comments. For this purpose, we make use of our legitimate interest in interacting with active users of our profile (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

If you have questions of any kind, you may be able to contact us via personal messages. Your user name may be automatically communicated to us. Further information can be provided voluntarily, in particular options for contacting us outside of social media. Data processing for the purpose of contacting us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR on the basis of your voluntarily given consent. The personal data processed by us for the purpose of contacting you will be automatically deleted after your enquiry has been dealt with, unless statutory retention obligations prevent this (e.g. because a contractual relationship has been established between us on the basis of your enquiry).

When you visit our social media profile, the provider collects, among other things, your IP address and other information that is stored on your PC in the form of cookies. This information is used to provide us, as the operator of the social media profile, with statistical information about the use of the website.

The data collected about you in this context is processed by the providers and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union. What information the provider receives and how it is used is described by the provider in general terms in its data usage guidelines. There you will also find information on how to contact the provider and on the settings options for adverts.

The way in which the providers use the data from visits to social media profiles for their own purposes, the extent to which activities on the websites are assigned to individual users, how long this data is stored and whether data is passed on to third parties is not conclusively and clearly stated by the social media provider and is not known to us. When you access a social media profile, the IP address assigned to your end device is transmitted to the provider. It may be possible for the provider to assign IP addresses to individual users. If you are currently logged in to a social media provider as a user, a cookie with your identifier is stored on your device. This enables the provider to track that you have visited this page and how you have used it. If you want to avoid this, you should log out of the respective social media provider or deactivate the “stay logged in” function, delete the cookies on your device and close and restart your browser.

Further information on the rights to which you are entitled as a data subject under the GDPR can be found under point 2 Data subject rights.

You can revoke your consent to the use of your title, surname and first name at any time via this link, as can a request to unsubscribe from the newsletter as a whole.

(1) Revocation of consent

If the processing of personal data is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

You can contact us at any time to exercise your right of cancellation.

(2) Right to confirmation

You have the right to request confirmation from the controller as to whether we are processing personal data concerning you. You can request confirmation at any time using the contact details above.

(3) Right to information

If personal data is processed, you can request information about this personal data and the following information at any time:

1. the purposes of the processing
2. the categories of personal data being processed
3. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations
4. where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period

If personal data is transferred to a third country or to an international organisation, you have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer. We will provide a copy of the personal data that is the subject of the processing. For any further copies you request, we may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs. If you make the request electronically, the information shall be provided in a commonly used electronic format, unless otherwise specified. The right to receive a copy in accordance with paragraph 3 must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons.

(4) Right to rectification

You have the right to obtain from us without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

(5) Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”)

You have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay and we are obliged to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:

1. The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
2. The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1), or point (a) of Article 9(2) GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
3. The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
4. The personal data have been processed unlawfully.
5. The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
6. The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) GDPR.

Where the controller has made the personal data public and is obliged pursuant to paragraph 1 to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.

The right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) does not exist insofar as processing is necessary:

• For exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
• for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the 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 area of public health in accordance with Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) GDPR
• for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) GDPR in so far as the right referred to in paragraph 1 is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
• for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

(6) Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data if one of the following conditions is met

1. the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data,
2. the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead
3. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
4. the data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

Where processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, such personal data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with the data subject’s consent or for the establishment, 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 Union or of a Member State.

To assert the right to restriction of processing, the data subject can contact us at any time using the contact details provided above.

(7) Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and you have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where one of the following applies

1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and
2. the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising the right to data portability pursuant to paragraph 1, you have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The exercise of the right to data portability does not affect the right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”). This right does not apply to processing that is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

(8) Right to object

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. The controller shall no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1), unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

You can exercise your right to object at any time by contacting the respective controller.

(9) Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision:

1. is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract between the data subject and the controller
2. is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
3. with the express consent of the data subject.

The data controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

The data subject can exercise this right at any time by contacting the respective controller.

(10) Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data relating to him or her infringes this Regulation.

(11) Right to an effective judicial remedy

Without prejudice to any available administrative or extrajudicial remedy, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77 GDPR, you have the right to an effective judicial remedy if you consider that your rights under this Regulation have been infringed as a result of the processing of your personal data in non-compliance with this Regulation.

Unless specifically stated, we only store personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes pursued.

In some cases, the legislator provides for the retention of personal data, for example in tax or commercial law. In these cases, the data will only be stored by us for these legal purposes, but will not be processed in any other way and will be deleted after the statutory retention period has expired.

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

• you have given your express consent to this 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,
• in the event that 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.

We make every effort to ensure the security of your data within the framework of the applicable data protection laws and technical possibilities.

Your personal data is transmitted to us in encrypted form. This applies to your orders and also to the customer login. We use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) coding system, but would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
