Collection and storage of personal data and the nature and purpose of its use

When visiting the website

When you visit our website www.die.ag, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is collected without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted:

• IP address of the requesting computer,
• Date and time of access,
• Name and URL of the accessed file,
• the website from which access was made (referrer URL)
• browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer and the name of your access provider.
  
  

The aforementioned data is processed by us for the following purposes:

• Ensuring a smooth connection to the website,
• Ensuring a comfortable use of our website,
• evaluating system security and stability and
• for other administrative purposes.
  
  

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.

a) When registering for our press mailing list

If you have expressly consented in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR by entering your data in our form at https://www.die.ag/presse, we will use your e-mail address to regularly send you our press releases and invite you to press events.

b) When registering for our purchase profile

If you have expressly consented in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR by entering your data in our form at https://www.die.ag/ankauf, we will use your e-mail address to send you our purchase profile on a regular basis.

c) When registering for our newsletter

If you have expressly consented in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR by entering your data in our form at https://www.die.ag/presse, we will use your e-mail address to send you our newsletter on a regular basis.

With the following information, we inform you about the registration, dispatch and evaluation procedure and clarify your rights of objection. If you subscribe to our notifications with advertising information (hereinafter “newsletter, press releases and purchase profiles”), you agree to receive the newsletter and the procedures described.

Content: We only send electronic notifications with advertising information on the basis of the recipient’s consent or on the basis of legal permission. If we specifically describe individual promotional information as part of the registration process, this description is decisive for consent. If no separate description is provided, you will receive our advertising information about our products, offers and promotions as well as information about our company.

Double opt-in: Registration for our advertising information (hereinafter “newsletter, press releases and purchase profiles”) takes place using the double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration we will send you an e-mail in which we ask you to confirm your registration. This confirmation serves to ensure that only persons who have access to the e-mail address provided can register with us. The logging of the registration process is based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR and serves as proof of consent to the receipt of advertising information.

You can unsubscribe from receiving our advertising information at any time, i.e. revoke your consent. You will find a link to unsubscribe at the end of every promotional email you receive from us. If users have registered for advertising information and have canceled this registration, their personal data will be deleted.

Forwarding of data

Within the company, those departments that require your data to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations will have access to it. Data will only be passed on to third parties within the framework of legal requirements. We only pass on user data to third parties if this is necessary, for example, on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR for contractual purposes or if you have consented to the transfer of data or on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR in the economic and effective operation of our business. To process your contact request, data may therefore be passed on to our affiliated companies if this is necessary to answer your request. When using the website for purely informational purposes, we do not pass on any data to third parties. Processors employed by us (Art. 28 GDPR) may also receive data for the above-mentioned purposes. These are companies in the categories of IT services, logistics, printing services, telecommunications, advice and consulting as well as sales and marketing. If we use processors to provide our services, we take appropriate legal precautions and appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the protection of personal data in accordance with the relevant legal regulations.

Is data transferred to a third country or to an international organization?

The data provided will be processed within the European Union and in the USA. For countries without an adequacy decision by the Commission in accordance with Article 45 GDPR, as is the case with the USA, we generally agree EU standard data protection clauses with the recipients of your data or obtain your consent for the data transfer.

Note: The protection of personal data in the USA does not correspond to the level of data protection required by the EU. In particular, there are no enforceable rights to protect your data against access by government agencies. There is therefore a risk that these government agencies may be able to access the personal data without the data transferor or recipient being able to effectively prevent this.

Storage period

For security reasons (e.g. to investigate misuse or fraud), log file information is stored for a maximum of 21 days and then deleted. Data whose further storage is required for evidentiary purposes is excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified. Where necessary, we process and store your personal data for the duration of our business relationship, which also includes, for example, the initiation and execution of a contract via the contact form or by email.

Applicant data will be deleted after 6 months in the event of rejection. In the event that you have consented to further storage of your personal data, we will transfer your data to our applicant pool. The data will be deleted there if you revoke your consent or after five years at the latest. If we fill the advertised position with you, your data will be stored in our personnel file.

Our social media presence

You can find us on social networks and platforms so that we can also communicate with you there and inform you about our services.

We would like to point out that your data may be processed outside the European Union and that the data is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. Usage profiles can be created from the usage behavior and resulting interests of the users. These usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements inside and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For this purpose, cookies may be stored on the users’ computers, in which the usage behavior and interests of the users are stored. Other data may also be stored in these user profiles, in particular if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them.

On our website, we only link to our company profiles on the respective social networks. Please note, however, that when you click on a link to the social networks, data is transferred to their servers. If you are logged in to the respective social network with your user name and password at this time, the information that you have visited our company profile on the respective social network from our website will be transmitted there and the respective provider can save this information in your user account.

In principle, we have no significant influence on the data processing of social networks. However, we receive statistics from the providers about the use of and visits to our company profiles in the social networks (e.g. information about the number of views, interactions such as likes and comments as well as summarized demographic and other information or statistics). Further information on the data used by the providers can be found in the providers’ data protection notices linked below.

If we receive your personal data as part of our social media presence (e.g. as part of a message), you are entitled to the rights mentioned above in this data protection information. You can address your inquiries regarding data processing in the context of our company profiles to us using the contact details above.

If you also wish to assert rights against the provider of the social network, the easiest way to do so is to contact the respective provider directly. The provider knows both the details of the technical operation of the platform and the associated data processing as well as the specific purposes of the data processing. The contact details can be found in the data protection information linked below. We are also happy to support you in asserting your rights, insofar as this is possible for us.

The processing of users’ personal data is generally based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR. The legal basis is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if we receive and process your data as part of a contract-related request via our social media presence. The legal basis for the linking and operation of our company profiles in social networks, including the receipt of statistics on the use of our company profiles, is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in our corporate communication in the respective social networks.
