Relevant Legal Bases

Relevant legal bases under the GDPR

Below you will find an overview of the legal bases under the GDPR on which we process personal data. Please note that, in addition to the provisions of the GDPR, national data protection regulations may apply in your or our country of residence or establishment. Furthermore, if more specific legal bases are applicable in individual cases, we will inform you of these in this privacy policy.

• Consent (Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR) – The data subject has given consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for one or more specific purposes.

• Performance of a contract and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR) – Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.

• Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR) – Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and fundamental freedoms of the data subject requiring protection of personal data do not override those interests.

• Application procedure as a pre-contractual or contractual relationship (Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR) – Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9(1) GDPR (e.g., health data such as severe disability status or ethnic origin) are requested from applicants during the application process so that the controller or the data subject can exercise rights and comply with obligations arising from labor law and the law of social security and social protection, such data are processed pursuant to Art. 9(2) lit. b GDPR; in the case of protecting vital interests of applicants or other persons pursuant to Art. 9(2) lit. c GDPR; or for purposes of preventive health care or occupational medicine, assessment of the employee’s working capacity, medical diagnosis, provision of health or social care or treatment, or the management of health or social care systems and services pursuant to Art. 9(2) lit. h GDPR. In the case of voluntary disclosure of special categories of data based on consent, such data are processed on the basis of Art. 9(2) lit. a GDPR.

National data protection rules in Germany

In addition to the GDPR data protection rules, national data protection provisions apply in Germany. These include, in particular, the Act on the Protection against Misuse of Personal Data in Data Processing (Federal Data Protection Act – BDSG). The BDSG contains, in particular, special provisions on the right of access, the right to erasure, the right to object, the processing of special categories of personal data, processing for other purposes, and transfers as well as automated decision-making in individual cases including profiling. In addition, the data protection laws of the individual German federal states may apply.

Relevant legal bases under the Swiss Data Protection Act

If you are located in Switzerland, we process your data on the basis of the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (“Swiss DPA”). Unlike the GDPR, the Swiss DPA generally does not require that a legal basis for the processing of personal data be stated, and processing is carried out in good faith, lawfully, and proportionately (Art. 6(1) and (2) Swiss DPA). In addition, personal data are collected by us only for a specific purpose that is recognizable to the data subject and are processed only in a manner compatible with that purpose (Art. 6(3) Swiss DPA).

Notice regarding the applicability of the GDPR and the Swiss DPA

These privacy notices serve to provide information both under the Swiss DPA and under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For this reason, please note that due to the broader territorial application and comprehensibility, the terms of the GDPR are used. In particular, instead of the terms used in the Swiss DPA such as “processing” of “personal data,” “overriding interest,” and “particularly sensitive personal data,” the GDPR terms “processing” of “personal data,” “legitimate interest,” and “special categories of data” are used. However, the legal meaning of the terms continues to be determined under the Swiss DPA within the scope of its applicability.

Security Measures

In accordance with the statutory requirements, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of processing as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.

These measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as access, input, disclosure, securing availability, and separation of the data. Furthermore, we have established procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, the deletion of data, and responses to data risks. In addition, we take the protection of personal data into account as early as the development or selection of hardware, software, and procedures in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and by default.

Securing online connections using TLS/SSL encryption technology (HTTPS): To protect user data transmitted via our online services from unauthorized access, we use TLS/SSL encryption technology. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) are the cornerstones of secure data transmission on the internet. These technologies encrypt information transmitted between the website or app and the user’s browser (or between two servers), thereby protecting data from unauthorized access. TLS, as the more advanced and secure version of SSL, ensures that all data transmissions meet the highest security standards. When a website is secured by an SSL/TLS certificate, this is indicated by “HTTPS” in the URL. This serves as an indicator to users that their data is transmitted securely and in encrypted form.

Transfer of Personal Data

As part of our processing of personal data, it may happen that such data are transferred to other entities, companies, legally independent organizational units, or individuals, or disclosed to them. Recipients of these data may include, for example, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with statutory requirements and, in particular, conclude appropriate contracts and/or agreements with the recipients of your data that serve to protect your data.

General Information on Data Storage and Erasure

We erase personal data that we process in accordance with statutory provisions as soon as the underlying consents are revoked or no other legal bases for processing exist. This applies in cases where the original purpose of processing no longer applies or the data are no longer required. Exceptions to this rule exist where statutory obligations or special interests require longer retention or archiving.

In particular, data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons or whose storage is necessary for legal prosecution or for the protection of the rights of other natural or legal persons must be archived accordingly.

Our privacy notices contain additional information on the retention and erasure of data that apply specifically to certain processing operations.

If multiple retention periods or deletion deadlines are specified for a set of data, the longest period shall always apply. Data that are no longer retained for the originally intended purpose but are kept due to statutory requirements or other reasons are processed exclusively for the reasons that justify their retention.

Retention and erasure of data: The following general periods apply for retention and archiving under German law:

• 10 years – Retention period for books and records, annual financial statements, inventories, management reports, opening balance sheet, and the work instructions and other organizational documents required for their understanding (§ 147(1) no. 1 in conjunction with (3) AO, § 14b(1) UStG, § 257(1) no. 1 in conjunction with (4) HGB).

• 8 years – Accounting documents, such as invoices and expense receipts (§ 147(1) no. 4 and 4a in conjunction with (3) sentence 1 AO as well as § 257(1) no. 4 in conjunction with (4) HGB).

• 6 years – Other business documents: received commercial or business letters, reproductions of sent commercial or business letters, other documents insofar as they are relevant for taxation, e.g., hourly wage slips, operating accounting sheets, calculation documents, price labels, as well as payroll documents insofar as they are not already accounting documents and cash register receipts (§ 147(1) nos. 2, 3, 5 in conjunction with (3) AO, § 257(1) nos. 2 and 3 in conjunction with (4) HGB).

• 3 years – Data required to consider potential warranty and damages claims or similar contractual claims and rights, and to process related inquiries, based on prior business experience and customary industry practices, are stored for the duration of the regular statutory limitation period of three years (§§ 195, 199 BGB).

Retention and erasure of data: The following general periods apply for retention and archiving under Swiss law:

• 10 years – Retention period for books and records, annual financial statements, inventories, management reports, opening balance sheets, accounting documents and invoices, as well as all required work instructions and other organizational documents (Art. 958f Swiss Code of Obligations (CO)).

• 10 years – Data necessary to consider potential damages claims or similar contractual claims and rights, and to process related inquiries, based on prior business experience and customary industry practices, are stored for the period of the statutory limitation period of ten years, unless a shorter period of five years applies in certain cases (Art. 127, 130 CO). Claims for rent, lease, and interest, as well as other periodic payments, claims arising from the supply of food, boarding and lodging, inn debts, crafts work, retail sale of goods, medical services, professional services by lawyers, legal agents, procurators and notaries, and employment relationships become time-barred after five years (Art. 128 CO).

Start of limitation period at year-end

If a period does not expressly begin on a certain date and is at least one year, it automatically starts at the end of the calendar year in which the triggering event occurred. In the case of ongoing contractual relationships under which data are stored, the triggering event is the date on which the termination or other ending of the legal relationship takes effect.

• Use of Cookies

• The term “cookies” refers to functions that store information on users’ end devices and read such information from them. Cookies may be used for various purposes, such as ensuring functionality, security, and convenience of online offerings, as well as creating analyses of visitor traffic. We use cookies in accordance with statutory provisions. Where required, we obtain users’ prior consent. Where consent is not required, we rely on our legitimate interests. This applies where the storage and retrieval of information are essential to provide content and functions expressly requested by users. This includes, for example, storing settings and ensuring the functionality and security of our online offering. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. We clearly inform users about the scope of cookies used and which cookies are utilized.

• Notes on legal bases under data protection law

• Whether we process personal data using cookies depends on consent. If consent is given, it serves as the legal basis. Without consent, we rely on our legitimate interests, which are explained above in this section and in the context of the respective services and procedures.

• Storage duration

• With regard to storage duration, the following types of cookies are distinguished:

• Temporary cookies (also: session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user leaves an online offering and closes their end device (e.g., browser or mobile application).

• Persistent cookies: Persistent cookies remain stored even after the end device is closed. For example, login status can be stored and preferred content displayed directly when a user revisits a website. Usage data collected via cookies may also be used for reach measurement. Unless users are explicitly informed otherwise (e.g., during consent collection), persistent cookies may be stored for up to two years.

• Processing of cookie data based on consent

• We use a consent management solution through which users’ consent for the use of cookies or the procedures and providers listed within the consent management solution is obtained. This process serves to collect, document, manage, and withdraw consent, in particular regarding the use of cookies and comparable technologies for storing, reading, and processing information on users’ end devices. Within this process, users’ consents for the use of cookies and the associated processing activities, including the specific providers and purposes named therein, are obtained. Users may also manage and withdraw their consent. Consent declarations are stored to avoid repeated requests and to provide proof of consent in accordance with legal requirements. Storage takes place server-side and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie) or by means of comparable technologies to assign consent to a specific user or device. Unless specific information on providers of consent management services is provided, the following general information applies: consent is stored for up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created and stored together with the time of consent, details on the scope of consent (e.g., affected categories of cookies and/or service providers), and information about the browser, system, and end device used.
