These are text files stored on your computer that allow analysis of your website use.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports about website activities and to provide additional services connected to website usage and Internet usage for the website operator.

3.3 YOUTUBE

Allgaier has integrated components of YouTube on this Internet site. YouTube is an Internet video portal that makes it possible for video publishers to publish video clips free of charge and for users to view, evaluate and comment on these clips, also free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos. As a result, complete films, television shows, music videos, trailers and even videos produced by users themselves can be accessed on the Internet portal. The operating agency of YouTube is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Irland.

Every access to one of the individual pages of this Internet site operated by the parties responsible for processing and containing an integrated YouTube component (YouTube video) causes the Internet browser on the information technology system of the accessing person to automatically download the displayed matter of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube by way of the particular YouTube component. You can get more information about YouTube at www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/(link is external)(link is external). This technical process allows YouTube and Google to learn which specific subpage of our Internet site was visited by the accessing person.

If the accessing person is logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube detects, when a subpage containing a YouTube video is accessed, just which specific subpage of our Internet site was visited by the accessing person. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and attributed to the corresponding YouTube account of the accessing person.

From the YouTube component, YouTube and Google receive information that the accessing person has visited our Internet site if the accessing person is also logged into YouTube at the time they accessed our Internet site. This happens whether the accessing person has clicked on a YouTube video or not. If such a transfer of this information to YouTube and Google is not desired by the accessing person, the person can preclude this transfer by logging out of their YouTube account prior to accessing our Internet site.

The privacy policies published by YouTube can be found at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/(link is external)(link is external) and provide information about the collection, processing and usage of personal data by YouTube and Google.

3.4 CONTACT FORM

We offer you comprehensive personal support. If you contact us using the contact form, we ask that you provide us with your title, your last name and your email address so that we can respond to your request quickly and individually. If you want to speak with us by telephone, we also ask that you give us your telephone number. These data are used only to respond to your request. They are not used for a sales talk or for other advertising purposes.

We would be happy to provide you with information about any data stored about you. You can find more information in the Information and Contact sections of this privacy policy.

3.5 SOCIAL MEDIA

We also offer you comprehensive personal support and the option of remaining in contact with us by way of our pages in social media (Facebook, YouTube, Xing, Kununu, LinkedIn) on the basis of Art. 6, Para. 1, Page 1, Item f of the GDPR. These social media services collect personal data themselves, for example, by way of the profile you created there or via social plugins implemented in the websites of third parties.

If you access a website of our Internet presence that contains such a plugin, your browser creates a direct connection to the servers of the companies involved. The content of the plugins is transmitted by these companies directly to your browser and embedded in the website. For this reason, we have no influence on the scope of data that the companies involved collect with the help of these plugins. We just want to tell you what we know about this:

By embedding the plugins, the companies involved collect the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our Internet presence. If you are logged into one of the companies cited above, the company can attribute the visit to your account there.

If you interact with the plugins, the corresponding information is transferred directly from your browser to the company in question and stored there. If you do not have an account with one of the companies cited above, it is still possible that the company can learn your IP address and store it.

As a result, it may still be possible that the company listed above will record every visitor to our Internet presence based on their IP address and the URL accessed. This is even the case if the visitors do not click on the plugins and if they are not logged into the company with a user account.

You can find the purpose and scope of the data collection and further processing and data usage by these companies as well as your rights in this regard and the setting options for protecting your privacy in the following privacy policies:

3.6 LOGIN AREA (CLOSED USER AREA)

For the purpose of this data provision, we will record your last name, first name, email address.

Furthermore, you have the possibility to add further attachments to your application, which you can upload to our application portal. All data that you provide us with in the context of the application portal is transmitted to us via a secure, i.e. encrypted connection.
Your data will initially be processed exclusively for the purpose of carrying out the application procedure. If your application is successful, it will become part of your personnel file, be used for the execution and termination of the employment relationship and will be deleted in accordance with the regulations applicable to personnel files. If we are currently unable to offer you employment, we will continue to process your data for up to six months after sending the rejection in order to defend ourselves against any legal claims, in particular on account of an alleged disadvantage in the application procedure.
The legal basis for data processing in the application procedure and for data processing in the employment relationship is Art. 88 DSGVO in conjunction with § 26 paragraph 1, paragraph 8 sentence 2 BDSG.
Your data will not be used by us for automated decision making or profiling nor will it be passed on to third parties.

5. PROCESSING OF BUSINESS PARTNER DATA

ALLGAIER concludes various contracts (e.g. contracts with suppliers, system partners, service companies, repair processing) in order to fulfill its commercial purpose. The collection of data and the processing thereof serves to establish, implement and terminate the contractual relationship. If necessary, the data will be processed within the scope of fulfilling legal obligations of government import and export control.
The primary legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 b) and c) DSGVO. Where necessary, we will also process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 f) DSGVO in order to protect the legitimate interests of ALLGAIER or third parties (e.g. public authorities). This applies in particular within the Group for the purposes of Group management, internal communication and other administrative purposes, but also for compliance with internal and worldwide compliance standards. In addition, the processing of personal data may be based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1a) DSGVO.

5.2 HOW LONG IS YOUR DATA STORED

We delete your personal data as soon as they are no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes or you have exercised your right to object. After termination of the contractual relationship, your personal data will be stored as long as we are legally obliged to do so. This regularly results from legal obligations to provide evidence and to retain data, which are regulated in the German Commercial Code and the German Fiscal Code, among others. The storage periods thereafter are up to ten years. In addition, personal data may be stored for the time during which claims can be made against us (statutory limitation period of three or up to thirty years).
