Definitions

Our privacy policy should be simple and understandable for everyone. For this reason, our privacy policy generally uses the official terms of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The official definitions are explained in Art. 4 GDPR.


Access to and storage of information in terminal equipment

By using our website, access to information (e.g. IP address) or storage of information (e.g. cookies) in your terminal equipment may occur. This access or storage may involve further processing of personal data pursuant to the GDPR.

In cases where such access to information or such storage of information is strictly necessary for the technically error-free delivery of our services, this is done on the basis of § 25 para. 1 s. 1, para. 2 no. 2 TTDSG.

In cases where such a process serves other purposes (e.g. the needs-based design of our website), this will only be carried out on the basis of § 25 para. 1 TTDSG with your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

For more information on the processing of your personal data and the relevant legal basis in this context, please refer to the following sections on the specific processing activities on our website.


Web Hosting

This website is hosted by an external service provider (hoster). This website is hosted in Germany, by the Hetzner Online GmbH. Personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster’s servers. This may include, but is not limited to, IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, web page accesses and other data generated by a website.

We collect the listed data to ensure a proper connection to the website and an error-free delivery of our services. The processing of this data is strictly necessary to make the website available to you. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in the correct presentation and functionality of our website in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement with the provider in accordance with the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR, in which we commit him to protect the data of our customers and not to pass them on to third parties.


Server-Logfiles

Once you visit our website, it is technically necessary that data is transmitted to our web server via your internet browser. The following data is recorded during an active connection for communication between your internet browser and our web server:

  • Date and time of the request
  • Name of the requested file
  • Page from which the file was requested
  • Access status
  • Web browser used and operating system used
  • (Full) IP address of the requesting computer
  • Transmitted amount of data

The processing of this data is strictly necessary to make the website available to you. The log files are processed for the purpose of evaluating system security and stability as well as for administrative purposes. The log files serve to evaluate system security and stability as well as administrative purposes. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in the protection and functionality of our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

For reasons of technical security, in particular to prevent attempts to attack our web server, we may temporarily store this data. After 28 days at the latest, the data is deleted.


Cookies

Our website uses so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are either temporarily stored on your end device for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them yourself or an automatic solution is provided by your web browser.

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping basket function or language settings). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behaviour or display advertising.

The processing of data using strictly necessary cookies is based on a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in the technically error-free delivery of our services. For details on the processing purposes and legitimate interests, please refer to the following explanations on the specific data processing.

The processing of personal data using other cookies is based on consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. Insofar as such cookies are used for analysis and optimisation purposes, we will inform you separately about this in this privacy policy and obtain your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can set your browser to:
  • be informed about the setting of cookies,
  • only allow cookies in individual cases,
  • exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally,
  • activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed.

The cookie settings can be managed under the following links for each browser:


You can also manage cookies of many companies and functions used for advertising individually. To do so, use the appropriate user tools, available at http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices .

Most browsers also offer a so-called “do-not-track function”. When this feature is enabled, the browser tells ad networks, websites, and applications that you do not want to be “tracked” for behavioural advertising and the like.

For information and instructions on how to edit this feature, please refer to the links below, depending on your browser provider:


Additionally, you can prevent the loading of so-called scripts by default. “NoScript” allows the execution of JavaScripts, Java and other plug-ins only at trusted domains of your choice. Information and instructions on how to edit this function can be obtained from the provider of your browser (e.g. for Mozilla Firefox at: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/ ).

Please note that if you disable cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.


Change cookie settings

You can revoke or change your cookie settings at any time. To do so, access the cookie settings again via this link Cookie preferences .


Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, an internet analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies” and web beacons.

Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website and to create reports on website activity. Google will also use this information to provide the website operator with further services related to the use of the website and the internet. The IP address sent by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR on the legal basis of your given consent.

We use Google Analytics only with activated IP anonymisation. This means that your IP address will only be further processed by Google in abbreviated form.

We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement with the service provider in which we oblige him to protect the data of our customers and not to pass them on to third parties.

Since a transfer of personal data by Google to affiliates and sub-processors to countries outside the EU and EEA is possible, further appropriate safeguards are required to ensure the level of data protection under the GDPR. For the U.S., there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 (1) GDPR regarding companies with certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and is therefore committed to compliance with adequate data protection standards, which can be verified via the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search

For potential transfers to other countries outside the EU and the EEA, for which no adequacy decision of the EU Commission exists, we have concluded standard contractual clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the country outside the EU to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe.

The terms of use of Google Analytics and information on data protection can be accessed via the following links:
http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/
https://policies.google.com/privacy

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. User and event-level data associated with cookies, user IDs (e.g., User ID), and advertising IDs (e.g., DoubleClick cookies, Android Advertising ID, IDFA) will be deleted no later than 14 months after collection.

You can prevent cookies from being saved by adjusting the settings of your browser software accordingly. Please note, however, that if you do so you may not be able to use all the functions of this website without restriction. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and analysing your use of the website (including your IP address) and processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.


Consent-Management-Tool

In order to be able to manage cookies in a privacy compliant manner, we use the software solution of the company CookieYes Limited.

When visiting our website, an essential cookie is stored in the user’s browser, in which the consent given or the withdrawal of consent is stored. This data is not passed on to the provider.

We provide you with a so-called cookie banner, via which you can give us your consent to the use of cookies. The cookie banner informs you about the use of cookies when you first visit our website and asks for your consent to the use of cookies. Until you give your consent, all non-essential cookies that we use on our website are automatically blocked. You have the option of rejecting unwanted cookies via the cookie banner and still continuing to use the website.

The legal basis of the processing is our legitimate interest in observing the rejection of cookies and/or the withdrawal of your consent to the use of cookies, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The collected data will be deleted, as soon as the purpose for data storage ceases to apply, latest at 12 months after the collection of the data.

This includes, in particular, your contact details (such as first and last name, telephone number and email address of the user) as well as other data provided by you regarding your background (e.g. CV, qualifications, degrees and work experience) and your person (e.g. cover letter, personal interests). This may also include special categories of personal data (e.g. information on a severe disability).

The primary legal basis for this is § 26 para. 1 BDSG. In addition, consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR in conjunction with § 26 para. 2 BDSG can be a legal basis. If the processing of your data is based on consent, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Within our company, only those persons and positions (e.g. human resources) have access to your personal data which absolutely need to carry out the application procedure or to fulfil our legal obligations. Your applications will be forwarded to the responsible person for examination. Under no circumstances will your personal data be passed on to third parties without authorisation.

The data of selected applicants will be stored securely for up to one year, provided that the applicants have given their consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR in conjunction with § 26 para. 2 BDSG.

Talentpool

By consenting to inclusion in the talent pool, you agree that if no suitable position is found for you, Drescher Consulting GmbH will store your personal data that you have provided as part of the application process for inclusion in the talent pool for 12 months and will contact you if you are considered for another position.

In particular, these contracts concern web hosting services, the dispatch of emails and IT updates and maintenance. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties by our service providers.


Storage period

The period for which the personal data will be stored is determined by the relevant statutory storage periods (e.g. from commercial law and tax law). The corresponding data is deleted routinely upon expiry of the respective period.
