What is personal data?

The term "personal data" is defined in the Federal Data Protection Act and in the EU GDPR. According to these definitions, personal data refers to individual details about the personal or factual circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, your real name, your address, your telephone number or your date of birth. Find out more here more about what exactly data protection is.

Scope of anonymous data collection and data processing

Unless otherwise stated in the following sections, no personal data is collected, processed or used when you use our websites. However, through the use of analysis and tracking tools, we obtain certain technical information based on the data transmitted by your browser (e.g. browser type/version, operating system used, websites visited on our website including length of visit, previously visited website). We only analyse this information for statistical purposes.

Relevant legal bases for the processing of personal data

  1. Insofar as we use a processor for the processing of personal data Consent of the data subject, Art. 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.
  2. When processing personal data that is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
  3. Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
  4. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
  5. If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Please note that if you deactivate cookies, you may not be able to use all the functions of our website to their full extent. The user data collected in this way is pseudonymised by technical measures. This means that it is no longer possible to assign the data to the user who accessed the website. The data is not stored together with other personal data of the users. When visiting our website, users are informed about the use of cookies for analysis purposes by means of an information banner and referred to this privacy policy. In this context, there is also a note on how to prevent the storage of cookies in the browser settings. The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analysis purposes is Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR, provided that the user has given their consent.

The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide personal data. If you do not provide personal data, we cannot manage your consents.

Creation of log files

Each time the website is accessed, Collana IT GmbH collects data and information using an automated system. This data is stored in the server's log files. The data is also stored in our system's log files. This data is not stored together with other personal data relating to the user.
The following data can be collected:

(1) Information about the browser type and version used
(2) The user's operating system
(3) The user's internet service provider
(4) The IP address of the user
(5) Date and time of access
(6) Websites from which the user's system accesses our website (referrer)
(7) Websites that are accessed by the user's system via our website

Duration of storage of personal data

Personal data is stored for the duration of the respective statutory retention period. After this period has expired, the data is routinely deleted unless it is necessary for the initiation or fulfilment of a contract.

Contact options

The Collana IT GmbH website features a contact form that can be used to contact us electronically. Alternatively, you can contact us via the email address provided. If the data subject contacts the controller via one of these channels, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. The storage serves solely for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. The data will not be passed on to third parties. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR if the user has given their consent. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If the email contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user is ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

Newsletter

When subscribing to our company's newsletter, the data entered in the respective input mask is transmitted to the controller responsible for processing. Registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registering, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary to prevent anyone from registering with someone else's email address. When you register for the newsletter, the user's IP address and the date and time of registration are stored. This serves to prevent misuse of the services or the email address of the person concerned. The data will not be passed on to unauthorised third parties. However, data may be transferred to relevant service providers for the purpose of sending the newsletter. An exception to this is when there is a legal obligation to pass on the data. The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter. The data subject can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. Consent to the storage of personal data can also be revoked at any time. A link for this purpose can be found in every newsletter. The legal basis for the processing of data after the user has subscribed to the newsletter is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, provided that the user has given their consent. The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is Section 7 (3) UWG (German Unfair Competition Act).

Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose of storage. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. As soon as the storage purpose no longer applies or a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned regulations expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or erased.

Rights of the data subject

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

Right to information pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR

You can request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us. If such processing is taking place, you can request the following information from the controller:

  1. the purposes for which the personal data are processed;
  2. the categories of personal data that are processed;
  3. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your personal data have been or will be disclosed;
  4. the planned duration of the storage of your personal data or, if specific information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage period;
  5. the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of your personal data, a right to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing;
  6. the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority;
  7. all available information about the origin of the data if the personal data is not collected from the data subject;
  8. the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling in accordance with Art. 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and - at least in these cases - meaningful information on the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information as to whether your personal data is transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

Right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR

You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the processed personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The controller must make the correction without delay.

Right to erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR

(1) You may request the controller to delete your personal data immediately and the controller is obliged to delete this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

  1. The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  2. You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a) GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  3. You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
  4. The personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.
  5. The deletion of personal data concerning you is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
  6. The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR.

(2) If the controller has made your personal data public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that you as the data subject have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.

(3) The right to erasure does not exist if the processing is necessary

  1. to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
  2. for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
  3. for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h) and i) and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;
  4. for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in para. 1 is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or
  5. for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR

You may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under the following conditions:

  2. the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;
  3. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or
  4. if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and it is not yet certain whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh your reasons.

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State. If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

Right to information pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right vis-à-vis the controller to be informed about these recipients.

Right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR

You have the right to receive your personal data, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, where

  1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR and
  2. the processing is carried out by automated means. In exercising this right, you also have the right to have your personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this. The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Right to object pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of your personal data which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. The controller will no longer process your personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes. You have the option, in connection with the use of information society services - notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC - to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures that use technical specifications.

Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law pursuant to Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 of the GDPR.

Automated decision-making in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

  1. is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract between you and the controller,
  2. is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
  3. with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a) or g) applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.

In the cases referred to in a. and c., the data controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

Integration of other third-party services and content

Description and purpose

Third-party content, such as videos, fonts or graphics from other websites, may be integrated into this online offering. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as „third-party providers“) recognise the IP address of the user. Without the IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the respective user's browser. The IP address is therefore required to display this content. We endeavour to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. However, we have no influence on whether the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Insofar as we are aware of this, we will inform users of this. We would like to provide and improve our online offering through these integrations.

Legal basis

The legal basis for the integration of other third-party services and content is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our overriding legitimate interest lies in the intention to present our online presence accordingly and to provide user-friendly and economically efficient services on our part. Further information can be found in the respective data protection information of the providers.

Contractual or legal obligation to provide personal data

The provision of personal data is not required by law or contract and is not necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are also not obliged to provide the personal data. However, failure to provide this data may mean that you will not be able to use this function or will not be able to use it to its full extent.

Data transfer to third countries

The controller may transfer personal data to a third country. In principle, the controller can provide various suitable guarantees to ensure that an adequate level of protection is established for the processing operations. It is possible to transfer data on the basis of an adequacy decision, internal data protection regulations, approved codes of conduct, standard data protection clauses or an approved certification mechanism pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. a) - f) GDPR.

If the controller transfers data to a third country on the legal basis of Article 49(1)(a) GDPR, you will be informed here about the possible risks of data transfer to a third country.

There is a risk that the third country that receives your personal data may not have an equivalent level of protection compared to the protection of personal data in the European Union. This may be the case, for example, if the EU Commission has not issued an adequacy decision for the respective third country or if certain agreements between the European Union and the respective third country are declared invalid. Specifically, there are risks in some third countries with regard to the effective protection of EU fundamental rights through the use of surveillance laws (e.g. USA). In such a case, it is the responsibility of the controller and the recipient to assess whether the rights of the data subjects in the third country enjoy an equivalent level of protection as in the Union and can also be effectively enforced.

However, the General Data Protection Regulation should not undermine the level of protection of natural persons ensured throughout the Union when personal data are transferred from the Union to controllers, processors or other recipients in third countries or to international organisations, including when personal data are onward transferred from a third country or an international organisation to controllers or processors in the same or another third country or to the same or another international organisation.

Links to social media portals

Our website contains links to external social media portals (e.g. LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook). These are exclusively hyperlinks that redirect to the respective platforms. No social media plug-ins are used that establish a direct connection to the providers' servers.

Processing of personal data

From this point on, your personal data will be processed by the respective provider. We have no influence on the collection, processing and use of personal data by these providers.

Providers of social media portals

Recipients of the data / transfer to third countries

By clicking on the link, data (e.g. your IP address, time of visit) will be transmitted to the respective provider. Providers may also transfer data to third countries (in particular the USA). Please note the data protection information of the respective platform.

storage period

We do not store any personal data in connection with the links. Please refer to the privacy policies of the social media providers for information on how long they store data.

Your rights

You have the rights set out in Art. 15 ff. GDPR (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and objection). To exercise your rights vis-à-vis social media providers, please contact them directly.

Applications (training & job offers)

By submitting their application to us, applicants consent to the processing of their data for the purposes of the application process in accordance with the manner and scope set out in this privacy policy. The legal basis for the processing of applicant data is Art. 88 GDPR, § 26 BDSG-neu (German Federal Data Protection Act) and Art. 9 (2) lit. b) GDPR, § 26 (3) and (4) BDSG-neu. If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR are voluntarily provided during the application process, their processing is additionally carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) (b) GDPR (e.g. health data, such as severe disability or ethnic origin). If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR are requested from applicants as part of the application process, their processing shall also be carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR (e.g. health data, if this is necessary for the exercise of the profession). If provided, applicants can submit their applications to us using an online form on our website. The data is transmitted to us in encrypted form in accordance with the state of the art. Applicants can also send us their applications by email. However, please note that emails are generally not sent in encrypted form and applicants must ensure encryption themselves. We therefore cannot accept any responsibility for the transmission of the application between the sender and the receipt on our server and therefore recommend using an online form or postal delivery. Instead of applying via the online form and email, applicants still have the option of sending us their application by post. If an application is successful, the data provided by applicants may be further processed by us for the purposes of the employment relationship. Otherwise, if the application for a job vacancy is unsuccessful, the applicant's data will be deleted. Applicants' data will also be deleted if an application is withdrawn, which applicants are entitled to do at any time. The deletion takes place after a period of up to six months so that we can answer any follow-up questions regarding the application and fulfil our obligations to provide evidence under the General Equal Treatment Act. Invoices for any travel expense reimbursements are archived in accordance with tax law requirements.

We use the HR and applicant management system Personio to manage application processes. You can use Personio to submit applications, upload documents and contact us. Personio processes the personal data you provide during the application process, e.g. contact information, CV data, qualifications, communication content and organisational information (e.g. appointment dates). The recipient of your personal data is Personio SE & Co. KG, Seidlstraße 3, 80335 Munich, Germany.

When using the service, personal data may be transferred to a third country. In the event of a transfer of personal data, the provider ensures the level of protection required by the GDPR by complying with Art. 44 ff. GDPR. If there is no adequacy decision with the third country in which the data importer is based, the transfer is subject to appropriate safeguards. If you have any questions, please contact our data protection officer.

As part of the application process, you have the option of being added to the Collana IT GmbH applicant pool so that we can contact you if a suitable vacancy arises and invite you to reapply. We can then consider your personal details for future positions within Collana IT GmbH and contact you accordingly. The legal basis for this is your consent or the consent of your legal guardian in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) and Art. 9 (1) (a) GDPR. We will store your applicant data, which we intend to consider for use in future positions, in its entirety for up to two years for this purpose. After the storage period, the data will then be automatically destroyed.

Consent is voluntary and has no impact on your chances in the application process. Consent can be revoked at any time without giving reasons.

There is no contractual or legal obligation to provide the data.
