Data processing when visiting our website

1. Logfiles

When the website is visited, we collect what is referred to as access data and store this in a logfile. This access data also includes your IP address. In addition, the name of the website that you visited, the file accessed, the date and time of access, the volume of data transferred and notification of successful access, the browser type and version, the operating system, what is referred to as the referrer URL (the previously visited page) and the requesting provider are stored in the logfile. We collect such technical information only for the purposes of securing our technical infrastructure and so that you can view the website correctly (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).

The logfiles, and thus the IP address contained therein, are automatically deleted no later than ten days after collection. Users are neither legally nor contractually required to provide the aforementioned personal data. However, without the data, in some circumstances the service and the functionality of our website cannot be guaranteed or individual services may be unavailable or limited.

2. Cookies

a) Subject matter and purpose of the data processing

When a user visits our websites, cookies are stored on the user’s end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone or PC). These cookies have different functions. The cookies referred to as “essential cookies” are absolutely essential in order to provide the basic functions of the website. The data processing performed using these cookies is based on Article 6( 1)( f) of the GDPR. Preference cookies are needed to store certain user settings (e.g. language, cookie settings) that provide more convenient surfing and optimal use of our website. The data processing performed using these cookies is also carried out on the basis of Article 6( 1)( f) of the GDPR. As such, we consider the conflicting interests to be balanced, as no tracking is performed nor is user behaviour analysed using these cookies.

Statistics cookies analyse user and visitor behaviour on our website. These cookies can be used to create profiles (usually anonymous) in order to optimize our offers and services and to adapt them to the preferences of our visitors and talents. Marketing cookies allow us to display customized advertisements on our websites or those of third parties, which are (automatically) selected based on the preferences and browsing behaviour of visitors. The use of these cookies requires your prior consent and is therefore based on Article 6( 1)(a) of the GDPR.

b) Overview of the cookies, storage period and deletion

You can find details about the cookies used on the website, the providers of these cookies, and the specific purpose that the cookies are used for in the privacy settings. You can use these settings to revoke your consent to the data processing at any time; such revocation does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to that point. Users are neither legally nor contractually required to provide the aforementioned personal data.

3. Consent tool

We use “Cookiebot”, a tool from the company Cybot A/S (Cybot), Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark to manage the cookies used on our website and to enable our visitors to consent to the use of cookies or to cancel the storage of them. If you give your consent to the use of individual cookies, the (anonymised) visitor IP address, the date and time of consent; the user agent of the browser, our URL and an anonymous, random and encrypted key are transmitted to Cybot. The encrypted key and the cookie status are stored on your end device in order to establish the corresponding cookie status when you visit the site in the future. The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6( 1)( c) of the GDPR, as we are legally obliged, inter alia, to obtain your consent for certain cookies and must give you the option to easily delete the cookies.

4. Web analysis tools (statistics)

Our website uses what are referred to as tracking or web analysis tools, which enable us to analyse the user behaviour of visitors to our website and to optimise our offers accordingly. With the help of these tools and the cookies used in the process, it is possible, for example, to analyse how and from where visitors come to our site, which areas of a website are visited particularly often and how often and for how long which sub-pages and categories are viewed. In addition, we can determine what search terms and websites the user has entered and analyse which information or offers are most in demand. The aim is to be able to use the knowledge gained in this way to organise our offers and our website in a user-friendly manner and to gear our offers more specifically to our customers, visitors and interested parties. The legal basis in this respect is Article 6( 1)( a) of the GDPR. You can also revoke your consent to the data processing at any time; such revocation does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to that point.

For web and user analysis, we work with professional service providers who compile user statistics on our behalf (and with your consent). The basis of this contractual relationship is, inter alia, the obligation of the providers to have taken special precautions to protect your data and to process all personal data only in accordance with our instructions (Article 28 of the GDPR, or on the basis of what are referred to as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses).

The details of the providers involved in this processing can be found in your privacy settings.

5. Remarketing tools (marketing)

We also use what are referred to as remarketing tools on our website. These tools allow us to display or have displayed on our websites customized advertisements that are (automatically) selected using visitor preferences. In technical terms, advertising tracking is usually performed using advertising IDs. Here cookies, among other things, are used by the providers of advertising networks to create profiles of users and advertising is displayed on the basis of these cookie profiles when a website is accessed. These types of remarketing offers thus enables users to be presented with interesting offers. In many cases, tracking is also carried out via what are referred to as browser fingerprints. Here, information such as the individual settings for screen resolution, colour depth, time zone and plug-ins installed are used to recognise users or groups of users.

Using remarketing tools, we can target our offer more specifically at our customers, visitors and interested parties and also earn money from displaying the advertisements. In addition, we can use user behaviour to determine which areas of our website may be of particular interest to visitors so that we can insert advertising in a targeted manner. Due to the use of the cookies required, the legal basis is Article 6 ( 1)( a) of the GDPR, which is why we also obtain your consent in advance here.

The details of the providers involved in this processing can be found in your privacy settings.

5.1 Indeed

This website also uses a web analytics tool provided by Indeed (Indeed Ireland Operations, Ltd., 124 St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin 2, Ireland). In order to analyse the use of the website and Indeed.com, certain usage data transmitted by your browser is collected and analysed by Indeed. To collect this usage data, Indeed may use one or more cookies. In addition, the IP address assigned to your device at the relevant time and a browser-specific identifier are transmitted. The IP address is required solely for the purpose of session identification and geolocation (down to city level). We only receive statistical, aggregated data.

6. Fonts, APIs and CDN

6.1 Google Fonts

Our website uses what are referred to as web fonts in order to display fonts in a unified manner; these are provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (Google). When you visit a page, your browser downloads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google’s servers. This informs Google that our website has been visited via your IP address. Google Web Fonts are used in order to provide a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6( 1)( f) of the GDPR. If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font will be used by your computer. You can find more information about Google Web Fonts at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s Privacy Statement: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

6.2 Cloudfront

Our website uses the Content Delivery Network (CDN) Cloudfront, a service of Amazon Web Services Inc. (AWS), 410 Terry Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98109-5210 (USA). This CDN makes duplicates of a website’s data available on various AWS servers distributed around the world. This results in a faster loading time of the website, higher reliability and increased protection against data loss (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). When you access these duplicates, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Amazon servers in other EU countries and stored there. You can learn more about Amazon Web Services’ privacy practices at: https://aws.amazon.com/privacy/?nc1=h_ls.

6.3 jQuery

We also use the Javascript library jQuery on our website pages again in order to increase the loading speed of our website (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). The provider is what is referred to as the CDN of Google. If your browser does not have a copy stored in its cache, or for some other reason downloads the file from the Google CDN, data will again be transferred by your browser to Google. For further information on data processing by Google, please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy, currently available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-UK.

Social media and pages

We operate presences on several online platforms and social networks in order to interact with potential or existing customers or talents, to exchange information with interested parties and users, and to advertise offers and services. This includes the following providers:

Facebook Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland Facebook Privacy

Instagram Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA Instagram Privacy

Please note that when interacting via the aforementioned social media, data may also be processed outside the area of the European Union, with the providers having undertaken to comply with EU privacy standards. Furthermore, user data is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created from the usage behaviour and the resulting interests of users. The usage profiles may in turn be used, for example, to display advertisements that are presumed to match users’ interests within and outside of the platforms.

We operate our pages (e.g. on Facebook) in what is referred to as joint responsibility with the provider. When users interact via our pages, we receive (from Facebook) statistical data on the use of those pages. This includes, for example, information about interactions, likes, comments, or aggregated information and statistics (such as the age or origin of our followers); this helps us learn more about interactions with our site. For more information on the nature and scope of these statistics in this context, for Facebook please refer to the Facebook Analytics Information and to the relevant areas of responsibility in the Information about Page Insights data. The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6( 1 S. 1 lit. f) of the GDPR.

We have no influence on data that is processed by the provider (e.g. Facebook) under its own responsibility in accordance with Facebook’s own terms of use. Please note that when you visit our page, data about your usage behaviour of Facebook and the page is transferred to Facebook. You can find more information about this in the Facebook privacy notices mentioned above.

Where we hold your personal data received in the course of operating the page, you are entitled to the rights stated in this Privacy Statement. If you also wish to assert rights against Facebook, you can contact Facebook directly via this link. Facebook is aware of the details on the technical operation of the page and the associated data processing along with the specific purposes of the data processing and can take appropriate action if you assert your rights.

We will stop processing your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing is being performed for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. If you wish to make use of your right of objection, again you simply need to send an e-mail to [email protected] or to our Data Protection Officer.
