Purposes and legal basis of data processing

3. OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE

This privacy policy applies to the following social media

Data processing through social networks

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The individual social networks used by us can be found below. Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. can generally comprehensively analyze your user behavior when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. buttons or advertising banners). By visiting our social media presence, numerous data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered.

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected under certain circumstances if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection takes place, for example, via cookies that are stored on your end device or by recording your IP address.

With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, you can be shown interest-based advertising inside and outside the respective social media presence. Provided you have an account with the respective social network, the interest-based advertising may be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.

Please also note that we are not able to track all processing procedures on social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing procedures may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social media portals.

Legal basis

Our social media presence is intended to ensure the most comprehensive possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal grounds, which are to be stated by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO).

The person responsible and assertion of rights

If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. In principle, you can assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both vis-à-vis us and vis-à-vis the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. vis-à-vis Facebook).

Please note that despite the joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing procedures of the social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.

Storage period

The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage period of your data, which is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).
Your rights You have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to object, to data portability, and the right to complain to the competent supervisory authority. Furthermore, you can demand the correction, blocking, deletion, and, under certain circumstances, the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

4. INTEGRATION OF THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Our data protection notice only applies to the website of Wendler Einlagen GmbH & Co. KG WEBSITE.

Please observe the data protection provisions and notes of the linked pages. Information about the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the social networks as well as your rights in this respect of the setting options for protecting your privacy can be found in the respective data protection declarations of the media, which are listed below.

Bunny.net

Bunny.net is all about providing cacheable content, including large files and videos. They also offer CDN Cloud Storage, a block storage based in Germany that integrates directly with bunny.net and has unlimited scaling, free internal traffic, and automatic cache clearing. (https://www.netify.ai/resources/domains/b-cdn.net)

Github

GitHub is a code hosting platform for version control and collaboration.
Here is the explanation of all cookies set or possibly set by GitHub, including storage duration: https://github.com/privacy/cookies

YouTube

YouTube with enhanced data protection This website embeds videos from the website YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the transfer of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the extended data protection mode. Thus, regardless of whether you watch a video, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network. As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube may save various cookies on your end device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve the user experience and prevent fraud attempts. If necessary, further data processing processes may be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no control. YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. If corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. For more information about data protection on YouTube, please see their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Google Fonts

Google Fonts are generally not used on our websites; these often arise from the integration of YouTube videos or other links to social media. Google Font is used for the uniform display of fonts provided by Google. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required fonts into its 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 your IP address has been used to access this website. The use of Google Fonts is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the uniform presentation of the typeface on its website. If corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g., device fingerprinting) as defined by the TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time. If your browser does not support Google Fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer. Further information on Google Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

5. OWN SERVICES

Applications

We process the data you have sent us in connection with your application to assess your suitability for the position (or other open positions in our companies, if applicable) and to carry out the application procedure. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in this application procedure is primarily Section 26 BDSG. According to this, the processing of data required in connection with the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship is permissible.
Should the data be required for legal prosecution after the application procedure has been completed, data processing may be carried out based on the requirements of Art. 6 DSGVO, to safeguard legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our interest then consists in asserting or defending claims.

Retention period of data
If we are unable to offer applicants a job, the data will be deleted after 6 months.
If you have been accepted for a position during the application process, the data from the application documents will be transferred to our personnel information system. Your data will only be processed by us and will not be passed on to third parties.

Your applicant data will be sifted through by the personnel department after receipt of your application. Suitable applications are then forwarded internally to the person responsible for the respective open position. The further procedure is then coordinated. In principle, only those persons in the company have access to your data who need it for the proper conduct of our application procedure. The data will be processed exclusively in the Federal Republic of Germany.

6. GENERAL INFORMATION OBLIGATIONS ACCORDING TO ART. 13 DSGVO FOR CUSTOMERS, SUPPLIERS & OTHER CONTACTS

What data about you are processed by us? And for what purposes?

If we have received data from you, we will generally only process it for the purposes for which we received or collected it. Data processing for other purposes is only considered if the necessary legal requirements according to Art. 6(4) DSGVO are met. Any information obligations under Art. 13(3) DSGVO and Art. 14(4) DSGVO will of course be observed in that case.

On what legal basis is this based?

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is generally – unless there are specific legal provisions – Art. 6 DSGVO. The following possibilities are particularly relevant:

Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) DSGVO)
Data processing for the performance of contracts (Art. 6(1)(b) DSGVO
Data processing based on a balancing of interests (Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO)
Data processing to fulfill a legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) DSGVO)

If personal data are processed on the basis of your consent, you have the right to revoke the consent at any time with effect for the future.

If we process data based on a balancing of interests, you as the data subject have the right, taking into account the provisions of Art. 21 DSGVO, to object to the processing of personal data.

How long will the data be stored?

We process the data for as long as is necessary for the respective purpose. If there are legal retention obligations – e.g., in commercial or tax law – the relevant personal data will be stored for the duration of the retention obligation. After the retention obligation expires, it will be reviewed whether there is a further need for processing. If there is no longer a need, the data will be deleted.

In principle, we conduct a review of data towards the end of a calendar year with regard to the necessity of further processing. Due to the volume of data, this review is carried out with regard to specific types of data or purposes of processing.

To which recipients will the data be disclosed?

Disclosure of your personal data to third parties generally only occurs if it is necessary for the performance of the contract with you, if the disclosure is permissible based on a balancing of interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO, if we are legally obligated to disclose the data, or if you have given consent in this regard.

Where will the data be processed?

Wendler Einlagen GmbH & Co. KG is a globally operating company. In the context of our business relationships, personal data may be transferred to subsidiaries of Wendler Einlagen GmbH & Co. KG or affiliated companies outside the EU. The processing takes place exclusively to fulfil contractual or business obligations and to maintain customer relationships.
