Who is responsible and how can I contact you?

The person responsible

for the processing of personal data within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

PEK3 GmbH
Hans-Urmiller-Ring 24

Data Protection Officer

Stephan Krischke, privacy@pek3.com

What is it about?

This privacy policy fulfils the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address, IP address or user behaviour when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot (or only with disproportionate effort) establish a connection to your person, e.g. through anonymisation, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. the collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.

Stored personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate reasons for further storage of the data. We will inform you about the specific storage periods or criteria for storage in the individual processing operations. Irrespective of this, we store your personal data in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and in the event of statutory retention obligations.

Who receives my data?

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR,
the disclosure is permitted in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
in the event that there is a legal obligation to pass on the data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, and
this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

In order to protect your data and, if necessary, to enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA), we have concluded data processing agreements based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. This may not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.

As part of the processing operations described in this privacy policy, personal data may be transferred to the USA. The USA does not have an adequate level of data protection (ECJ: Schrems II judgement). In particular, US investigative authorities can oblige US companies to hand over or disclose personal data without the data subjects being able to take effective legal action against this. This means that there is a fundamental possibility that your personal data may be processed by US investigative authorities. We have no influence on these processing activities. In order to protect your data, we have concluded data processing agreements based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. This may not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.

Do you use cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are sent by us to the browser of your end device and stored there when you visit our website. As an alternative to the use of cookies, information can also be stored in the local storage of your browser. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies or local storage (technically necessary cookies). Other cookies, on the other hand, enable us to carry out various analyses so that we are able, for example, to recognise the browser you are using when you visit our website again and to transmit various information to us (non-essential cookies). With the help of cookies, we can, among other things, make our website more user-friendly and effective for you, for example by tracking your use of our website and determining your preferred settings (e.g. country and language settings). If third parties process information via cookies, they collect the information directly via your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device. They cannot execute programmes or contain viruses.

We provide information about the respective services for which we use cookies in the individual processing operations. You can find detailed information on the cookies used in the cookie settings or in the Consent Manager of this website.

What rights do I have?

Under the conditions of the legal provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the following rights as a data subject:

Information in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR about the data stored about you in the form of meaningful information on the details of the processing as well as a copy of your data;
Correction in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR of incorrect or incomplete data stored by us;
erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR of the data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims
Restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR if the accuracy of the data is contested, the processing is unlawful, we no longer need the data and you oppose their erasure because you require them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR.
Data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, insofar as you have provided us with personal data on the basis of consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or on the basis of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and these have been processed by us using automated procedures. You will receive your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or we will transmit the data directly to another controller if this is technically feasible.
Objection pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR to the processing of your personal data, insofar as this is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e, f GDPR and there are reasons for this arising from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct advertising. The right to object does not exist if overriding, compelling legitimate grounds for the processing can be demonstrated or the processing is carried out for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. If the right to object does not exist for individual processing operations, this is indicated there.
Revocation pursuant to Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR of your granted consent with effect for the future.
Complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR to a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your workplace or our company headquarters.

How is my data processed in detail?

Below we inform you about the individual processing operations, the scope and purpose of the data processing, the legal basis, the obligation to provide your data and the respective storage period. There is no automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling.

IP address of the requesting computer
Date and time of access
Name and URL of the retrieved file
Website from which the access was made (referrer URL)
Browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer, as well as the name of your access provider

Our website is not hosted by us, but by a service provider who processes the aforementioned data on our behalf in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

Purpose and legal basis

The processing is carried out to safeguard our overriding legitimate interest in displaying our website and ensuring security and stability on the basis of Art. 6 para. lit. f GDPR. The collection of data and storage in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. There is no right to object to the processing due to the exception under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR. Insofar as further storage of the log files is required by law, the processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide the data, but it is not technically possible to access our website without providing the data.

Storage period

The aforementioned data is stored for the duration of the website display and – for technical reasons – for a maximum of 7 days beyond that.

Contact form

Type and scope of processing

Personal data is collected when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email). Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. You can also voluntarily provide additional information that you consider necessary for processing the contact enquiry.

When using the contact form, your personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

Purpose and legal basis

Your data is processed using our contact form for the purpose of communicating and processing your enquiry on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Insofar as your enquiry relates to an existing contractual relationship with us, the processing is carried out for the purpose of contract fulfilment on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data, but it is not possible to process your enquiry without providing the information in the mandatory fields. If you do not wish to provide this data, please contact us by other means.

Storage period

If you use the contact form on the basis of your consent, we will store the data collected for each enquiry for a period of three years, starting with the completion of your enquiry or until you withdraw your consent.

If you use the contact form as part of a contractual relationship, we will store the data collected for each enquiry for a period of three years from the end of the contractual relationship.

Contact form for applicants

Type and scope of processing

We collect and process the personal data of applicants. Corresponding data processing may also take place electronically, for example when applicants send us application documents by e-mail or via a web form on our website. On our website, we offer you the opportunity to send us applications for advertised vacancies by e-mail.

Your data will also only be stored in an applicant database beyond the current application process if you have given us your separate consent to do so.

Purpose and legal basis

The processing of your data in connection with your application is carried out for the purpose of processing your application and deciding on the establishment of an employment relationship on the basis of Section 26 BDSG. If your application documents are passed on to third parties, in particular to companies affiliated with us, and if your data is stored beyond the current application process, your data will be processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data, but it is not possible to process your application without providing the information.

Storage period

Applicants’ data will be deleted after 6 months in the event of a rejection. In the event that you have consented to further storage of your personal data, we will transfer your data to our applicant pool. There the data will be deleted after 24 months.

Presence on social media platforms

We maintain so-called fan pages or accounts or channels on the networks listed below in order to provide you with information and offers within social networks and to offer you further ways to contact us and find out about our offers. In the following, we will inform you about which data we or the respective social network process from you in connection with the access and use of our fan pages/accounts.

Data that we process from you

If you wish to contact us via Messenger or via direct message via the respective social network, we generally process your user name, which you use to contact us, and may store other data provided by you if this is necessary to process/answer your request.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f) GDPR (processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller).

(Static) usage data that we receive from social networks

We receive automated statistics relating to our accounts via Insights functionalities. The statistics include the total number of page views, likes, information on page activities and post interactions, reach, video views/views and information on the proportion of men/women among our fans/followers.

The statistics only contain aggregated data that cannot be related to individual persons. They are not identifiable to us.

It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual users based on the statistical information transmitted. We only use this information to respond to the interests of our users and to continuously improve our online presence and ensure its quality.

What data the social networks process from you

In order to view the content of our fan pages or accounts, you do not need to be a member of the respective social network and therefore no user account is required for the respective social network.

Please note, however, that the social networks also collect and store data from website visitors without a user account when the respective social network is accessed (e.g. technical data to be able to display the website to you) and use cookies and similar technologies, over which we have no influence. Details on this can be found in the privacy policy of the respective social network (see the corresponding links above)

If you wish to interact with the content on our fan pages/accounts, e.g. comment on, share or like our posts/contributions and/or wish to contact us via messenger functions, you must first register with the respective social network and provide personal data.

We have no influence on data processing by the social networks when you use them. To the best of our knowledge, your data is stored and processed in particular in connection with the provision of the services of the respective social network, as well as for the analysis of user behaviour (using cookies, pixels/web beacons and similar technologies) on the basis of which advertising based on your interests is displayed both within and outside the respective social network. It cannot be ruled out that your data will also be stored by the social networks outside the EU/EEA and passed on to third parties.

Due to the fact that the actual data processing is carried out by the provider of the social network, our access to your data is limited. Only the provider of the social network is authorised to have full access to your data. As a result, only the provider can directly take and implement appropriate measures to fulfil your user rights (request for information, request for deletion, objection, etc.). The assertion of corresponding rights is therefore most effectively carried out directly against the respective provider.

Purpose and legal basis

We only collect your data via our profile in order to realise a possible provision for communication and interaction with us. This collection generally includes your name, message content, comment content and the profile information you provide « publicly ».

The processing of your personal data for the above-mentioned purposes is based on our legitimate business and communicative interest in offering an information and communication channel in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR. If you as a user have given your consent to data processing to the respective provider of the social network, the legal basis for processing extends to Art. 6 para. 1 a), Art. 7 GDPR.
