Your rights as an affected person
First of all, we wish to inform you of your rights as an affected person. These rights are standardised in Art. 15 - 22 EU-DS-GVO. This includes:
- The right to information (Art. 15 EU-DS-GVO),
- The right to deletion (Art. 17 EU-DS-GVO),
- The right to correction (Art. 16 EU-DS-GVO),
- The right to data portability (Art. 20 EU-DSGVO),
- The right to limit data processing (Art. 18 EU-DS-GVO),
- The right to opt out of data processing (Art. 21 EU-DS-GVO).
To claim these rights, please contact: info (at) c4etechnology.com. The same applies to questions regarding data processing in our company. You also have the right of appeal through a data protection agency.
Rights of objection
Regarding rights of objection, please note the following: If we process your personal data for direct advertising, you have the right to opt out of this data processing at any time without providing any reasons. This also applies to profiling in conjunction with direct advertising. If you opt out of processing for direct advertising, we will no longer use your personal data for this purpose. There is no charge for opting out, and you can do so informally, preferably by sending an email to info (at) c4etechnology.com. If we process your data to safeguard legitimate interests, you can object to this processing at any time for reasons stemming from your particular situation; this likewise applies to profiling on the basis of these terms. We will then no longer process your personal data unless we are able to demonstrate compulsory and legitimate reasons which take precedence over your interests, rights and freedoms or demonstrate that the data is being processed to enforce, exercise or defend legal claims.
Purposes and legal bases for data processing
Your personal data are processed in accordance with the provisions of the EU-DS-GVO and all other applicable data privacy provisions. Legal bases arise particularly from Art. 6 EU-DS-GVO. If you send us your personal data in conjunction with our job market or a contact enquiry, we will handle it as follows. We use your data exclusively to advise you, offer products and services, transmit associated information and for advertising purposes, which can also involve analyses for marketing purposes and direct advertising. All data collected will be kept confidential in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations. Your consent constitutes a data protection permission requirement. We then inform you of the purposes of the data processing and your right of revocation. If the consent also pertains to the processing of special categories of personal data, we will explicitly indicate this in the consent text. Special categories of personal data as defined by Art. 9 par. 1 EU-DS-GVO will only be processed if legally required and if there is no reason to assume that your legitimate interest in excluding the data from processing should take precedence.
Transfer to third parties
We will only transfer your data to third parties within the scope of legal provisions or with appropriate consent. Otherwise, we will not transfer any personal data to third parties unless we are obligated to do so based on compulsory legal provisions (transfer to external organisations such as controlling or prosecuting authorities).
Recipients of the data / categories of recipients
Within our company, we ensure that your data is only received by those people who need it in order to meet contractual and legal obligations. So the applications submitted can only be viewed by staff working at C4E Technology GmbH. General contact enquiries are received by the Management Office of C4E Technology GmbH and are forwarded to the relevant departments within the C4E group. All data are stored on a provider’s server in Germany and can only be accessed by the aforementioned persons and by the IT department of C4E Technology GmbH and by our provider. On occasion, service providers may assist our specialist departments in performing their functions. The required data protection agreement has been signed by all service providers.
Data transfer to third countries / intention to transfer to third countries
A transfer of data to third countries (outside the European Union or the European Economic Area) shall only take place if required by law or if you have provided your consent for such a transfer.
Period of data storage
We store your data for as long as is needed for the respective purpose of processing. Please note that many retention periods exist requiring that data continues to be stored. This particularly relates to retention obligations under commercial or fiscal law (such as the German Commercial Code, German Revenue Code, etc.). Unless there are further-reaching retention obligations, the data will be erased once the relevant purpose has been fulfilled. In addition, we may retain data if you have provided your authorisation for us to do so, or if legal disputes arise within the statutory limitation period and we use pieces of evidence that become subject to legal limitation periods, which may be up to thirty years; the regular limitation period is three years.
Secure transfer of your data
We implement appropriate technical and organisational safety measures for the best possible protection of the data we store against accidental or deliberate manipulation, loss, destruction, or access by unauthorised individuals. Security levels are reviewed on an ongoing basis in collaboration with security experts, and adapted to new security standards. Data exchange from and to our web server is encrypted. Encrypted transfer occurs exclusively in the “online application” section. We use HTTPS as the transfer protocol, always subject to the use of current encryption protocols.
Obligation to provide data
Various personal data is required for the establishment, implementation, and termination of the contractual relationship, and the fulfilment of the associated contractual and legal obligations. The same applies for the use of our website and the various functions it offers. In certain cases, data also needs to be collected or made available legal provisions. Please note that it is not possible to process your enquiry or execute an underlying contractual relationship without the provision of this data.
Categories, sources, and the origin of data
Which data we process is determined by the given context: It depends, for example, on whether you enter an enquiry into our contact form or you are sending us an application or submitting a complaint. Please note that we may also make information for particular processing situations separately available to an appropriate body, e.g. when application documents are uploaded or a contact enquiry is sent. When you visit our website, we collect and process the following data:
Each time this site is used, so-called usage data are recorded in server logfiles. These usage data are transmitted automatically by your internet browser. The data comprises the following information:
- IP address (internet protocol address) of the computer from which c4etechnology.com are accessed
- Internet address of the site from which c4etechnology.com was accessed (i.e. origin or referrer URL)
- Name of the service provider which was used to access c4etechnology.com
- Name of the files or information accessed
- Date and time as well as duration of recalling the data
- Amount of data transferred
- Operating system and information on the internet browser of the computer used to access c4etechnology.com
- http status code (e.g., “OK” or “requested file not found”).
For reasons of technical security (particularly to prevent attempts to hack our web server), C4E Technology GmbH will store the aforementioned log data for up to ten days and then anonymised, as per Art. 6 par. 1 lit. F EU-DS-GVO. The exception is data which must be retained as evidence. In individual cases, log data can be handed over to investigative authorities. Apart from that, these log data are stored and evaluated only in an anonymised form. In conjunction with the anonymisation process, the IP address is abbreviated, such that it can no longer be traced back to the user.
Depending on the type of enquiry, we collect and process the following data:
1) Contact form
Company:
Street:
Zip/City:
Phone:
(all optional fields)
Name:
Email:
Message:
(all required fields)
Contact form / making contact via Email (Art. 6 par. 1 lit. a, b EU-DS-GVO)
Our website features a contact form that can be used to make contact electronically. If you write to us using the contact form, we process the personal data you provide in the contact form to make contact and respond to your questions and requests. The principle of data economy and data reduction is taken into account here, in that you only need to provide the data that we need in order to make contact with you. This comprises your email address and the message field itself. In addition, your IP address is processed for reasons of technical necessity and legal safeguarding. All other data fields are voluntary, and you have the option of filling them out (e.g. for a more individualised response to your questions). If you contact us by email, we will process the personal data you provide in the email purely for processing your enquiry. If you do not use the provided form to contact us, no further data will be collected.
Automated decision-making in individual cases
We do not use any purely automated processing procedures for making decisions.
