Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy – Information on the processing of personal data

This document informs you about how we process personal data.

Introduction and structure of the document

We, Kurz Kunststoffe GmbH (hereinafter “the Company,” “we,” or “us”), thank you for visiting our website and your interest in our company and our services. Your personal data will be processed only in accordance with the provisions of German and European data protection law.

Data protection law obliges us, as the data controller, to ensure the protection of your personal data through a variety of measures. One of these obligations is to provide you with transparent information about the type, scope, purpose, duration, and legal basis of data processing (see Articles 13 and 14 of the EU GDPR). We will refer to you, as the data subject, as “customer,” “user,” “you,” or “data subject.” In this privacy policy, we inform you about how we process your personal data.

Our privacy policy has a modular structure. It consists of a general section for all processing of personal data and applicable processing situations, and a specific section whose content relates only to the processing situation specified therein. We may use this online document to inform you about processing operations that do not primarily take place on the website. You can find these in the specific section of the document. If you want to navigate quickly within the document, many browsers offer a search function via the keyboard shortcut “CTRL+f.”

Definitions

Following the example of Art. 4 EU GDPR, this document is based on the following definitions:

“Personal data” (Article 4 No. 1 EU GDPR) is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). A person is identifiable if they can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, an online identifier, location data, or information related to their physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity. Identifiability may also be achieved by linking such information or other additional knowledge. The origin, form, or embodiment of the information is irrelevant (photos, video, or audio recordings may also contain personal data).

“Processing” (Article 4 (2) GDPR) is any operation or set of operations which is carried out on personal data, whether or not by automated means (i.e., technology-based). This includes, in particular, the collection (i.e., acquisition), recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, comparison, linking, restriction, erasure, or destruction of personal data, as well as the change of a purpose or objective on which the data processing was originally based.

“Controller” (Article 4 No. 7 EU GDPR) is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

“Third party” (Article 4 No. 10 EU GDPR) is any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor, are authorised to process the personal data.

“Processor” (Article 4 No. 8 of the GDPR) is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller, in particular in accordance with the controller’s instructions (e.g., IT service providers). In the context of data protection law, a processor is not a third party.

“Consent” (Article 4 No. 11 EU GDPR) of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.

Name and address of the controller

The body responsible for processing your personal data within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 7 EU GDPR, as well as contact details and further information about our company, can be found in the imprint on our website.

Contact details of the data protection team and the data protection officer

If you have any questions or would like to speak to us about data protection, our data protection team, consisting of data protection coordinators and our data protection officer, is available at any time.

You can reach the data protection team:

– By post to our address given in the imprint with the addition “Data Protection Team”

– By email at datenschutz@kurz-gruppe.com

If you, as the data subject, wish your identity to be disclosed only to the data protection officer and not to the controller, please contact the above email address using an email address that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your identity. The data protection officer will then offer you a suitable communication channel.

Your rights

You can assert your rights as a data subject regarding the processing of your personal data at any time using the contact details provided above. You can make it easier for us to process your request if you contact the data protection team directly.

As a data subject, you have the right:

– according to Art. 15 EU GDPR Information to request information about your data processed by us . In particular, you can request information about the purposes of processing, the category of data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection, the existence of a right to lodge a complaint, the origin of your data if it was not collected from us, as well as the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and, where applicable, meaningful information about its details;

– to request the immediate correction of incorrect or the completion of your data stored by us in accordance with Art. 16 EU GDPR ;

– according to Art. 17 EU GDPR to request the deletion of your data stored by us , unless the processing is necessary to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information, to fulfill a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims;

– according to Art. 18 EU GDPR to request the restriction of the processing of your data if you contest the accuracy of the data or if the processing is unlawful;

– in accordance with Art. 20 EU GDPR, to receive the data you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request that it be transmitted to another controller (“data portability”);

– to object to processing in accordance with Art. 21 EU GDPR, provided that the processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) EU GDPR. This is particularly the case if the processing is not necessary to fulfill a contract with you. Unless it is an objection to direct advertising, when exercising such an objection we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your data as we do. If your objection is justified, we will examine the situation and will either stop or adapt the data processing or show you our compelling legitimate reasons on the basis of which we continue the processing. For many services on our websites that process personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) EU GDPR, the objection can be implemented technically using technologies available in the browser or to be installed, e.g. by blocking JavaScripts or cookies;

– pursuant to Art. 7 (3) EU GDPR, you have the right to revoke your consent (even before the EU GDPR came into force, i.e., before 25 May 2018) at any time, if you have given it, in an informed manner and unambiguously by means of a declaration or other unambiguous confirmatory action, that you agree to the processing of the personal data concerned for one or more specific purposes. This means that we may no longer continue the data processing based on this consent in the future, and

– in accordance with Art. 77 EU GDPR, to complain to the data protection supervisory authority responsible for us about the processing of your personal data in our company.

Legal basis for data processing

By law, any processing of personal data is generally only permitted if the data processing falls under one of the following justifications:

Art. 6 (1) (a) EU GDPR (“consent”): If the data subject has voluntarily, in an informed and unambiguous manner indicated by a statement or other unambiguous confirmatory act that he or she agrees to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for one or more specific purposes;

Art. 6 (1) (b) EU GDPR (“Contract”): If processing is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is party or to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;

Art. 6 (1) (c) EU GDPR (“legal obligation”): If processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which the controller is subject (e.g. a statutory retention period);

Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR: If processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;

Art. 6 (1) (e) GDPR: If processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller or

Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (“Legitimate Interests”): If processing is necessary to protect the legitimate (in particular legal or economic) interests of the controller or a third party, unless the conflicting interests or rights of the data subject override them (in particular if the data subject is a minor). To the extent that the processing of personal data is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, the aforementioned purposes also represent our legitimate interests.

For each of the processing operations we carry out, we provide the applicable legal basis below. Processing may also be based on multiple legal bases.

Data deletion and storage period

For each of the processing operations we carry out, we state below how long the data will be stored by us and when it will be deleted or blocked. In the case of consent, the data deletion and storage period specified in the consent request is decisive. Unless an explicit storage period is stated below, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose or legal basis for storage no longer applies. Your data will generally only be stored within the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, in a member state of the European Union (EU) or in another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA). Possible exceptions to this are set out in the following sections and processing operations. However, storage may extend beyond the specified period in the event of an (impending) legal dispute with you or other legal proceedings, or if storage is required by legal regulations to which we are subject as the controller (e.g. Section 257 of the German Commercial Code (HGB), Section 147 of the German Tax Code (AO). If the storage period prescribed by law expires, the personal data will be blocked or deleted unless further storage by us is necessary and there is a legal basis for doing so.

Data security: website, email, fax

We use technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction, or unauthorized access by third parties (e.g., TLS encryption for our website), taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, and the scope, context, and purpose of processing, as well as the existing risks (including their likelihood and impact) for the data subject. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

For secure data transmission over the Internet, we use the hybrid encryption protocol Transport Layer Security (TLS), more widely known by its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer Software (SSL). This software encrypts the information you transmit. All data protection-relevant information is stored in encrypted form in a secure database.

Please note that the confidentiality of emails cannot be guaranteed. Although we offer transport encryption (TLS) via our mail servers, confidentiality may depend on various mail relay servers over which we have no control. Whether these servers also use TLS and whether they evaluate emails is beyond our control.

When you send us a fax, the transmission takes place via the Internet Protocol (FoIP). Technically, the transmission is identical to sending an email or website data. We do not know whether an IP-based service encrypts data, so the confidentiality of the sent data cannot be guaranteed. We do not recommend sending sensitive data by fax.

We will be happy to provide you with further information upon request. Please contact our data protection team.

Cooperation with processors

As with any larger company, we also use external service providers to handle our business transactions, e.g., in the areas of IT, logistics, and telecommunications: parcel delivery, sending letters or emails, analyzing our databases, advertising measures, processing payments, sales, and marketing. These service providers have access to personal data required to perform their tasks. However, they are not permitted to use this data for other purposes. Processors only act on our instructions and are contractually obligated to comply with data protection regulations within the meaning of Art. 28 of the EU GDPR . Processors are not third parties.

Prerequisite for the transfer of personal data to third countries

As part of our business relationships, your personal data may be transferred or disclosed to third parties. These companies may also be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), i.e., in third countries. Such processing is carried out exclusively to fulfill contractual and business obligations and to maintain your business relationship with us. We will inform you about the respective details of the transfer below at the relevant points. Accordingly, we generally state the registered office of the company that provides a service.

The European Commission has certified that some third countries provide data protection comparable to EEA standards through so-called adequacy decisions. The Commission has issued adequacy decisions for the following countries and territories: Andorra, Argentina, Canada, the Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Israel, the Isle of Man, Japan, Jersey, New Zealand, Switzerland, Uruguay, the Republic of Korea, and the United Kingdom (as of December 2021).

However, in other third countries to which personal data may be transferred, a consistently high level of data protection may not exist due to a lack of legal regulations. Where this is the case, we ensure that data protection is generally adequately guaranteed. This is possible through binding corporate rules, standard contractual clauses of the European Commission for the protection of personal data, certificates, or recognized codes of conduct.

Automated decision-making

We do not intend to use any personal data collected from you for any automated decision-making process (including profiling).

Obligation to provide personal data

We do not make the conclusion of contracts with us dependent on your prior provision of personal data. As a customer, you are generally under no legal or contractual obligation to provide us with your personal data. However, we may be unable to provide certain services to a limited extent or at all if you do not provide the necessary data. Should this exceptionally be the case within the scope of the products or processing methods presented below, you will be informed separately.

Legal obligation to transmit certain data

We may, under certain circumstances, be subject to a specific statutory or legal obligation to make the lawfully processed personal data available to third parties, in particular public authorities (Article 6 (1) (c) of the EU GDPR).

Change to the privacy policy

As data protection law evolves, as well as technological or organizational changes, this document will be regularly reviewed for any necessary adjustments or additions. We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at any time, with future effect, in compliance with applicable data protection regulations. We will publish any changes here. Current status: July 4, 2025

Information on the processing of personal data in special processing operations

The following sections describe processing operations grouped according to different categories of persons whose data is processed (“data subjects”).

Visitors to websites

Information about our company and the services we offer can be found, in particular, at www.kurz-gruppe.com and its associated subpages (hereinafter collectively referred to as “websites”). When you visit our websites, your personal data is processed.

Your data will only be processed for as long as necessary to achieve the aforementioned processing purposes; the legal bases specified in the context of the processing purposes apply accordingly. Third parties employed by us will store your data on their systems for as long as necessary in connection with the provision of the services for us in accordance with the respective order.

The following categories of recipients, who are usually processors, may have access to your personal data:

Service providers for the operation of our website and the processing of data stored or transmitted by the systems (e.g., for data center services, payment processing, IT security). The legal basis for the transfer is Art. 6 (1) (b) or (f) EU GDPR, unless they are contract processors;

Government agencies/authorities, insofar as this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation. The legal basis for the transfer is then Art. 6 (1) (c) EU GDPR;

Persons employed to conduct our business operations (e.g., auditors, banks, insurance companies, legal advisors, regulatory authorities, participants in corporate acquisitions or the establishment of joint ventures). The legal basis for the transfer is Art. 6 (1) (b) or (f) of the EU GDPR.

Furthermore, we will only pass on your personal data to third parties if you have given your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) of the EU GDPR.

Personal data processed on the website/log data

When you use our website for informational purposes, we collect, store, and process the following categories of personal data. When you visit our website, a so-called log file (server log file) is temporarily and anonymously stored on our web server. This consists in particular of:

– the page from which the page was requested (so-called referrer URL)

– the name and URL of the requested page

– the date and time of the call

– a description of the type, language and version of the web browser used

– the IP address of the requesting computer

– the amount of data transferred

– the operating system

– the message whether the call was successful (access status/HTTP status code)

– the GMT time zone difference

The processing of log data serves statistical purposes and to improve the quality of our website, in particular the stability and security of the connection (the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) EU GDPR ).

It is possible that we may temporarily process additional information that your operating system, browser, and/or other technologies provide to our web servers to provide the website. The legal basis for this is also Article 6 (1) (f) of the EU GDPR.

Services for storing information on your device or for accessing information already stored on your device (cookies, plugins, JavaScript, etc.)

On our websites, we use services and technologies to store information on your device and/or technologies to access information already stored on your device. These technologies can include cookies, for example. Cookies are text files and/or entries in the browser’s database that assigns the browser you use to the device using a characteristic string of characters. Certain information is transferred between the location that sets the cookie and your device.

Cookies and other services may contain data that enables recognition of the device used. Cookies and other technologies sometimes only contain information about certain settings that are not personally identifiable.

You can refuse or technically disable some services if your browser allows this. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all of our website’s features to their full extent.

The help function in the menu bar of most web browsers will explain, for example, how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have your browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to delete all cookies you have received. You can also modify your browser so that certain technologies (e.g. JavaScript) that the services require are not executed in your browser. To the extent that the services on our websites process personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) EU GDPR, the objection can thus be technically implemented using these browser functions and technologies.

With regard to their function, services are again divided into:

Technical services: These are essential to navigate the website, use basic functions, and ensure website security; they do not collect information about you for marketing purposes, nor do they store which websites you have visited.

Performance services: These collect information about how you use our website, which pages you visit, and, for example, whether errors occur during website usage; they do not collect any information that could identify you – all information collected is anonymous and is only used to improve our website and to find out what interests our users.

Advertising, targeting & sharing services, social media plugins: These serve to offer website users needs-based advertising on the website or third-party offers and to measure the effectiveness of these offers. These services can also be used to improve the interactivity of our website with other services (e.g., social networks).

What all services have in common is that they store information on your device and/or access information that is already stored on your device.

In contrast to the functional distinction of services, the legislator distinguishes only between two purposes of services:

Services that are necessary to transmit a message over a public telecommunications network and/or are absolutely necessary for the provider of a telemedia service to provide a telemedia service expressly requested by the user. The necessity may be based on technical, legal, economic, operational, and/or contractual reasons.
Services for all other purposes.

Any use of services that are technically, legally, economically, operationally and/or contractually necessary to provide an expressly requested service may be based on a legal basis other than consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) EU GDPR.

Service: Mittwald CM Service Hosting

We use Mittwald CM Service as our web hosting provider, provided by Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co. KG, Königsberger Straße 4-6, 32339 Espelkamp, Germany. Mittwald provides the technical infrastructure for the operation of our website, including server capacity, databases, and security services. Personal data of site visitors is processed, in particular IP addresses, technical connection data, and possibly other data that arises during the use of our website. This data is processed for the purpose of providing and delivering the website, ensuring its technical functionality, and increasing operational reliability. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest). Further information on data protection at Mittwald can be found in their privacy policy: https://www.mittwald.de/datenschutz

General services on the website

We currently use the following services described above. If the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) of the EU GDPR, we will also state how the consent was requested.

Service: Contact form

When you use our contact form, we process the data you provide (e.g., title, first name, last name, address, company, email address, as well as the content and time of your inquiry). This processing is carried out to process your inquiry.

Certain fields, such as first and last name, may be marked as mandatory because they are necessary to properly assign and answer your request.

Depending on the type of request, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) EU GDPR (for the implementation of pre-contractual measures) or on Art. 6 (1) (f) EU GDPR (our legitimate interest in the efficient processing of incoming requests).

Consent management tool / consent management provider / “cookie banner”

We use services to request and manage consent for individual services.

Service: Compliance GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent

This website uses the Complianz GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent service, a consent management tool. This service requests consent to use certain services on the website. This consent is obtained and documented. The service is provided by Complianz BV, Kalmarweg 14-5, 9723 JG Groningen, Netherlands. Since this service is hosted locally on the web server, no data is transferred to third parties.

The service sets a necessary cookie. The following information is stored there:

When you visit our website, the following personal data is transferred to Consent Management: consent(s) or revocation of consent(s), IP address, information about the browser and device, time of visit to the website. Furthermore, Consent Management stores a cookie to be able to assign the consent granted or its revocation. The data collected in this way is stored until we are requested to delete it, the GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent cookies are deleted by the user, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies.

Data is processed in order to obtain legally required consent and, if necessary, within the scope of our legitimate interest in designing our website in a legally compliant and low-risk manner (legal basis Art. 6 (1) (c) and, if applicable, (f) EU GDPR).

Service: Polylang

We use the Polylang service on our website. The service is provided by WP Syntex, 28, rue Jean Sébastien Bach, 38090 Villefontaine, France.
Among other things, the tool helps to display the website in other languages or to make it more accessible for people with disabilities. Processing only occurs if you consent to this data processing (via our consent banner on the website). The legal basis for this processing is consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) EU GDPR). Without your consent, data processing will not take place in the manner described above. If you revoke your consent (e.g. via the consent banner or other options provided on this website), we will stop this data processing. The legality of the processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected. We also base this processing on a legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) (f) EU GDPR). The legitimate interest lies in ensuring the unrestricted functionality of the website. This is a language tool that is considered essential.

Service: Burst Statistics

We use the Burst Statistics service on our website, provided by Really Simple Plugins, Kalmarweg 14-5, 9723 JG Groningen, Netherlands. This service is used for the privacy-friendly analysis of visitor numbers and user behavior on our website. Burst Statistics collects aggregated data on page views, referrers, browser types used, screen resolutions, as well as the time and duration of page visits. No cookies are used and no IP addresses are permanently stored. The processing is carried out for the purpose of anonymized statistical evaluation and improvement of our website. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) EU GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in a privacy-friendly analysis of website usage. Further information on data protection at Really Simple Plugins can be found at: https://really-simple-plugins.com/privacy-policy/

applicants

You can apply to us in a variety of ways. Regardless of how you apply, your application data will be processed exclusively for the purpose of processing your application. After the selection process, it will be stored for a maximum of six months and then deleted unless you give us your consent to further processing it in a talent pool.

As part of an application, we will process the following personal data from you:

– all data that you have provided to us during the application process (e.g. in your application documents or interviews)

– if applicable, additional data that we have legitimately collected during the application process (e.g. from public sources such as professional networks)

– this may also include special categories of personal data (e.g. severe disability, racial or ethnic origin, religious or ideological beliefs or trade union membership), provided that these have been transmitted to us via one of the two methods mentioned.

The legal basis is the decision to establish an employment relationship or, after its establishment, the implementation of the employment relationship in accordance with Section 26 (1) of the new Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Article 6 (1) (b) of the EU GDPR. After the selection process has been completed, we retain all data for a further six months in order to be able to legally respond to allegations in the event of potential disputes regarding the application process. This limited retention period is based on Article 6 (1) (f) of the EU GDPR.

Service: Application by email

You have the option of applying to us by email. Please send your application documents to bewerbung@kurz-gruppe.com. Please note that we cannot guarantee the confidentiality of your data when applying by email. Although we offer transport encryption (TLS) via our mail server, confidentiality may depend on various mail relay servers over which we have no control. Whether these also use TLS and whether they evaluate the emails is beyond our knowledge and influence. If you have any concerns about this, please apply by post.

Business partners and information seekers

You can contact us by phone, fax, or email. Please also refer to the section “Data Security: Website, Email, Fax.”

When you contact us by phone, we collect information for caller identification (caller ID). If your phone number isn’t suppressed or withheld, we’ll see the phone number you’re calling us from. The phone number, date, and time of the call are automatically saved by our telephone system and used only to call you back if you request it or if your call is disconnected due to technical problems. This data is deleted after four weeks at the latest. We do not record calls.

If you contact us by email, it will be saved and used for the purpose you communicated to us in the email (e.g., product order). The same applies to contacting us by fax.

When you order products from us or request information materials, we create a customer account for you. The customer account contains the following data:

– The name and contact details of the company for which you are placing the order

– Your first and last name as contact person

– For every order processed via this customer account, we store:

– Date of order and delivery

– ordered products

– current order status

This data is required to process your order and/or inquiry and will be processed solely for this purpose (Article 6 (1) (b) or (f) of the EU GDPR). Unless otherwise stated, the deletion periods for this data are based on the statutory retention periods to which we are subject.

Visitors to social media services

We present ourselves on social media. The purpose is to communicate with interested parties (such as customers, potential employees, and trainees) and for general public relations.

When you visit our social media presence, your personal data is processed. We are often jointly responsible for data processing with the social media service if we actually make a joint decision (with the operator of the social media service) regarding data processing. Where possible, we have concluded agreements on joint responsibility in accordance with Art. 26 of the EU GDPR. Despite the potential for joint responsibility, we do not have full influence on the social media service’s data processing.

Social media services often do not provide a clear and conclusive statement on how a social media service uses data for its own purposes, to what extent, for example, activities are assigned to individual visitors, how long this data is stored, and whether data from a visit is passed on to third parties.

We point out that you use the functions of the social media service at your own risk. This applies in particular to interactive functions (commenting, sharing, rating, group dialogue, exchanging information on specialist topics, uploading photos, entering search terms). You must assume that your voluntarily submitted data will be processed by the social media service for its own purposes. This may mean, for example, that data may be evaluated with regard to topics that you believe are of interest to you.

The legal basis for processing is determined by the social media service and can be found in links to the service’s privacy policy. Social media services may rely on different legal bases depending on the circumstances. If we require a legal basis, the processing is based on our legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) of the EU GDPR), specifically communication with interested parties and effective public relations.

Service: Facebook presence

We present ourselves on the Facebook platform. Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5 Ireland (“Meta”) is jointly responsible for data processing on Facebook.

If you visit our Facebook page, Meta will collect your usage data, such as the time, duration and frequency of your visit to our Facebook page or your interactions with this page.

This data is used to provide us with aggregated information about how you use our Facebook page and its content.

The data collected about you in this context will be processed by Meta and, if necessary, transferred to countries outside the European Union, in particular to the USA. For the USA, the EU Commission issued an adequacy decision dated July 10, 2023, which establishes an adequate level of data protection for transfers to companies that participate in the EU-US data protection framework.

However, how exactly Meta uses your data for its own purposes is beyond our knowledge and control.

We present ourselves on the LinkedIn platform. LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is jointly responsible for data processing on LinkedIn.

If you visit our LinkedIn page, LinkedIn will collect your usage data, such as the URL of both the website you came from and the website you next navigate to, as well as the time of your visit and your IP address, proxy server, operating system, web browser, etc.

This data is used to provide us with aggregated information about how you use our LinkedIn page and its content.

The data collected about you in this context will be processed by LinkedIn and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union, in particular to the USA. For the USA, the EU Commission issued an adequacy decision dated July 10, 2023, which establishes an adequate level of data protection for transfers to companies that participate in the EU-US data protection framework.

However, how exactly LinkedIn uses your data for its own purposes is beyond our knowledge and control.

Further information can be found in the provider’s privacy policy at the following URL: https://de.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
