Other data is coll­ec­ted auto­ma­ti­cal­ly or with your con­sent by our IT sys­tems when you visit the web­site. This is pri­ma­ri­ly tech­ni­cal data (e.g. inter­net brow­ser, ope­ra­ting sys­tem or time of page view). This data is coll­ec­ted auto­ma­ti­cal­ly as soon as you enter this web­site.

What do we use your data for?

• Some of the data is coll­ec­ted to ensu­re that the web­site is pro­vi­ded wit­hout errors.
  
• Other data may be used to ana­ly­ze your user beha­vi­or.
  
• Fur­ther­mo­re, we also pro­cess your per­so­nal data for the pur­po­ses of pro­ces­sing your inquiry or ins­truc­tion and hand­ling your order and to pro­vi­de you with rela­ted infor­ma­ti­on.
  
• In addi­ti­on, we pro­cess your per­so­nal data in order to cont­act you with infor­ma­ti­on and offers regar­ding our pro­ducts, if neces­sa­ry, and final­ly also to enforce our terms of use and to assert and/​or defend against legal claims as well as to defend against frau­du­lent and simi­lar acts.

What rights do you have with regard to your data?

You have the right to recei­ve infor­ma­ti­on about the ori­gin, reci­pi­ent and pur­po­se of your stored per­so­nal data free of char­ge at any time. You also have the right to request the cor­rec­tion or dele­ti­on of this data. If you have given your con­sent to data pro­ces­sing, you can revo­ke this con­sent at any time for the future. You also have the right to request the rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data under cer­tain cir­cum­s­tances. You also have the right to lodge a com­plaint with the com­pe­tent super­vi­so­ry aut­ho­ri­ty.

You can cont­act us at any time if you have fur­ther ques­ti­ons on the sub­ject of data pro­tec­tion.

Ana­ly­sis tools and tools from third-par­ty pro­vi­ders

When you visit this web­site, your sur­fing beha­vi­or may be sta­tis­ti­cal­ly eva­lua­ted. This is main­ly done with so-cal­led ana­ly­sis pro­grams.

Detail­ed infor­ma­ti­on on the­se ana­ly­sis pro­grams can be found in the fol­lo­wing pri­va­cy poli­cy.

2. Hos­ting

We host the con­tent of our web­site with the fol­lo­wing pro­vi­der:

Host Euro­pe

The pro­vi­der is Host Euro­pe GmbH, Han­se­stra­ße 111, 51149, Colo­gne (her­ein­af­ter Host Euro­pe). When you visit our web­site, Host Euro­pe coll­ects various log files inclu­ding your IP addres­ses.

Details can be found in Host Euro­pe’s pri­va­cy poli­cy: https://​www​.host​eu​ro​pe​.de/​A​G​B​/​D​a​t​e​n​s​c​h​u​t​z​e​r​k​l​a​e​rung/.

Host Euro­pe is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in ensu­ring that our web­site is dis­play­ed as relia­bly as pos­si­ble. If a cor­re­spon­ding con­sent has been reques­ted, the pro­ces­sing is car­ri­ed out exclu­si­ve­ly on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, inso­far as the con­sent includes the sto­rage of coo­kies or access to infor­ma­ti­on in the user’s ter­mi­nal device (e.g. for device fin­ger­prin­ting) within the mea­ning of the TTDSG. Con­sent can be revo­ked at any time.

3. Gene­ral notes and man­da­to­ry infor­ma­ti­on

Data pro­tec­tion

The ope­ra­tors of this web­site take the pro­tec­tion of your per­so­nal data very serious­ly. This web­site is not inten­ded for child­ren under the age of 16. We tre­at your per­so­nal data con­fi­den­ti­al­ly and in accordance with the sta­tu­to­ry data pro­tec­tion regu­la­ti­ons and this pri­va­cy poli­cy.

When you use this web­site, various per­so­nal data is coll­ec­ted. Per­so­nal data is data that can be used to iden­ti­fy you per­so­nal­ly. This pri­va­cy poli­cy explains what data we coll­ect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what pur­po­se this is done.

We would like to point out that data trans­mis­si­on over the Inter­net (e.g. when com­mu­ni­ca­ting by email) may be sub­ject to secu­ri­ty vul­nerabi­li­ties. Com­ple­te pro­tec­tion of data against access by third par­ties is not pos­si­ble.

Note on the respon­si­ble body

The con­trol­ler respon­si­ble for data pro­ces­sing on this web­site is

RET Reckel­berg Envi­ron­men­tal Tech­no­lo­gies GmbH

27568 Bre­mer­ha­ven

Tele­pho­ne: +49 471 941 85 900
E-mail: office@​reckelberg.​com

The con­trol­ler is the natu­ral or legal per­son who alo­ne or joint­ly with others deter­mi­nes the pur­po­ses and means of the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data (e.g. names, e-mail addres­ses, etc.).

Sto­rage peri­od

Unless a more spe­ci­fic sto­rage peri­od has been spe­ci­fied in this pri­va­cy poli­cy, your per­so­nal data will remain with us until the pur­po­se for data pro­ces­sing no lon­ger appli­es. If you assert a jus­ti­fied request for dele­ti­on or revo­ke your con­sent to data pro­ces­sing, your data will be dele­ted unless we have other legal­ly per­mis­si­ble reasons for sto­ring your per­so­nal data (e.g. reten­ti­on peri­ods under tax or com­mer­cial law); in the lat­ter case, dele­ti­on will take place after the­se reasons no lon­ger app­ly.

Gene­ral infor­ma­ti­on on the legal basis for data pro­ces­sing on this web­site

If you have con­sen­ted to data pro­ces­sing, we pro­cess your per­so­nal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, inso­far as spe­cial cate­go­ries of data are pro­ces­sed in accordance with Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. In the event of express con­sent to the trans­fer of per­so­nal data to third count­ries, data pro­ces­sing is also car­ri­ed out on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have con­sen­ted to the sto­rage of coo­kies or access to infor­ma­ti­on in your end device (e.g. via device fin­ger­prin­ting), the data pro­ces­sing is also car­ri­ed out on the basis of Sec­tion 25 (1) TTDSG. Con­sent can be revo­ked at any time. If your data is requi­red to ful­fill the con­tract or to car­ry out pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­su­res, we pro­cess your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Fur­ther­mo­re, we pro­cess your data if this is neces­sa­ry to ful­fill a legal obli­ga­ti­on on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data pro­ces­sing may also be car­ri­ed out on the basis of our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Infor­ma­ti­on on the rele­vant legal bases in each indi­vi­du­al case is pro­vi­ded in the fol­lo­wing para­graphs of this pri­va­cy poli­cy.

Note on the trans­fer of data to third count­ries that are not secu­re under data pro­tec­tion law and the trans­fer to US com­pa­nies that are not DPF-cer­ti­fied

Among other things, we use tools from com­pa­nies based in third count­ries that are not secu­re under data pro­tec­tion law and US tools who­se pro­vi­ders are not cer­ti­fied under the EU-US Data Pri­va­cy Frame­work (DPF). If the­se tools are acti­ve, your per­so­nal data may be trans­fer­red to the­se count­ries and pro­ces­sed the­re.

In this regard, we would like to point out that, accor­ding to the case law of the Euro­pean Court of Jus­ti­ce, the­re is curr­ent­ly no ade­qua­te level of data pro­tec­tion in the USA and that you the­r­e­fo­re run the risk of your data being con­trol­led and moni­to­red by US aut­ho­ri­ties wit­hout you being able to take effec­ti­ve legal action against this.

Reci­pi­ents of per­so­nal data

As part of our busi­ness acti­vi­ties, we work tog­e­ther with various exter­nal bodies. In some cases, it is also neces­sa­ry to trans­fer per­so­nal data to the­se exter­nal bodies. We only pass on per­so­nal data to exter­nal bodies if this is neces­sa­ry for the ful­fill­ment of a con­tract, if we are legal­ly obli­ged to do so (e.g. pas­sing on data to tax aut­ho­ri­ties), if we have a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the trans­fer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or if ano­ther legal basis per­mits the trans­fer of data. When using pro­ces­sors, we only pass on our cus­to­mers’ per­so­nal data on the basis of a valid con­tract for order pro­ces­sing. In the case of joint pro­ces­sing, a joint pro­ces­sing agree­ment is con­cluded. All reci­pi­ents are obli­ged by us to main­tain con­fi­den­tia­li­ty and sec­re­cy.

With­dra­wal of your con­sent to data pro­ces­sing

Many data pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons are only pos­si­ble with your express con­sent. You can with­draw your con­sent at any time. The lega­li­ty of the data pro­ces­sing car­ri­ed out until the revo­ca­ti­on remains unaf­fec­ted by the revo­ca­ti­on.

Right to object to data coll­ec­tion in spe­cial cases and to direct adver­ti­sing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data pro­ces­sing is car­ri­ed out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data at any time for reasons ari­sing from your par­ti­cu­lar situa­ti­on; this also appli­es to pro­fil­ing based on the­se pro­vi­si­ons. The respec­ti­ve legal basis on which pro­ces­sing is based can be found in this pri­va­cy poli­cy. If you object, we will no lon­ger pro­cess your per­so­nal data con­cer­ned unless we can demons­tra­te com­pel­ling legi­ti­ma­te grounds for the pro­ces­sing which over­ri­de your inte­rests, rights and free­doms, or the pro­ces­sing ser­ves the estab­lish­ment, exer­cise or defen­se of legal claims (objec­tion pur­su­ant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).

If your per­so­nal data are pro­ces­sed for the pur­po­se of direct mar­ke­ting, you have the right to object at any time to the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data con­cer­ning you for the pur­po­se of such mar­ke­ting; this also appli­es to pro­fil­ing inso­far as it is asso­cia­ted with such direct mar­ke­ting. If you object, your per­so­nal data will sub­se­quent­ly no lon­ger be used for the pur­po­se of direct mar­ke­ting (objec­tion pur­su­ant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a com­plaint with the com­pe­tent super­vi­so­ry aut­ho­ri­ty

In the event of vio­la­ti­ons of the GDPR, data sub­jects have the right to lodge a com­plaint with a super­vi­so­ry aut­ho­ri­ty, in par­ti­cu­lar in the Mem­ber Sta­te of their habi­tu­al resi­dence, place of work or place of the alle­ged vio­la­ti­on. The right to lodge a com­plaint is wit­hout pre­ju­di­ce to any other admi­nis­tra­ti­ve or judi­cial reme­dy.

Right to data por­ta­bi­li­ty

Inso­far as the legal requi­re­ments are met, you have the right to have data that we pro­cess auto­ma­ti­cal­ly on the basis of your con­sent or in ful­fill­ment of a con­tract han­ded over to you or to a third par­ty in a com­mon, machi­ne-rea­da­ble for­mat. If you request the direct trans­fer of the data to ano­ther con­trol­ler, this will only take place if it is tech­ni­cal­ly fea­si­ble.

Infor­ma­ti­on, cor­rec­tion and dele­ti­on

Within the frame­work of the appli­ca­ble legal pro­vi­si­ons, you have the right to free infor­ma­ti­on about your stored per­so­nal data, its ori­gin and reci­pi­ents and the pur­po­se of the data pro­ces­sing and, if appli­ca­ble, a right to cor­rec­tion or dele­ti­on of this data at any time. You can cont­act us at any time with regard to this and other ques­ti­ons on the sub­ject of per­so­nal data.

Right to rest­ric­tion of pro­ces­sing

You have the right to request the rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data. You can cont­act us at any time to do this. The right to rest­ric­tion of pro­ces­sing exists in the fol­lo­wing cases:

• If you dis­pu­te the accu­ra­cy of your per­so­nal data stored by us, we gene­ral­ly need time to veri­fy this. For the dura­ti­on of the review, you have the right to request that the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data be rest­ric­ted.
  
• If the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data was/​is car­ri­ed out unlawful­ly, you can request the rest­ric­tion of data pro­ces­sing ins­tead of era­su­re.
  
• If we no lon­ger need your per­so­nal data, but you need it for the exer­cise, defen­se or asser­ti­on of legal claims, you have the right to request the rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data ins­tead of its era­su­re.
  
• If you have lodged an objec­tion in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balan­ce must be struck bet­ween your inte­rests and ours. As long as it has not yet been deter­mi­ned who­se inte­rests pre­vail, you have the right to request the rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data.

If you have rest­ric­ted the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data, this data - apart from its sto­rage - may only be pro­ces­sed with your con­sent or for the estab­lish­ment, exer­cise or defen­se 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 Euro­pean Uni­on or of a Mem­ber Sta­te.

SSL and TLS encryp­ti­on

This site uses SSL or TLS encryp­ti­on for secu­ri­ty reasons and to pro­tect the trans­mis­si­on of con­fi­den­ti­al con­tent, such as orders or inqui­ries that you send to us as the site ope­ra­tor. You can reco­gni­ze an encrypt­ed con­nec­tion by the fact that the address line of the brow­ser chan­ges from ​“http://” to ​“https://” and by the lock sym­bol in your brow­ser line.

If SSL or TLS encryp­ti­on is acti­va­ted, the data you trans­mit to us can­not be read by third par­ties.

4. Data coll­ec­tion on this web­site

Coo­kies

Our Inter­net pages use so-cal­led ​“coo­kies”. Coo­kies are small data packets and do not cau­se any dama­ge to your end device. They are stored on your device eit­her tem­po­r­a­ri­ly 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 end device until you dele­te them yours­elf or they are auto­ma­ti­cal­ly dele­ted by your web brow­ser.

Coo­kies may ori­gi­na­te from us (first-par­ty coo­kies) or from third-par­ty com­pa­nies (so-cal­led third-par­ty coo­kies). Third-par­ty coo­kies enable the inte­gra­ti­on of cer­tain ser­vices from third-par­ty com­pa­nies within web­sites (e.g. coo­kies for pro­ces­sing pay­ment ser­vices).

Coo­kies have various func­tions. Many coo­kies are tech­ni­cal­ly neces­sa­ry, as cer­tain web­site func­tions would not work wit­hout them (e.g. the shop­ping cart func­tion or the dis­play of vide­os). Other coo­kies can be used to eva­lua­te user beha­vi­or or for adver­ti­sing pur­po­ses.

Coo­kies that are requi­red to car­ry out the elec­tro­nic com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on pro­cess, to pro­vi­de cer­tain func­tions that you have reques­ted (e.g. for the shop­ping cart func­tion) or to opti­mi­ze the web­site (e.g. coo­kies for mea­su­ring the web audi­ence) are requi­red (neces­sa­ry coo­kies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless ano­ther legal basis is spe­ci­fied. The web­site ope­ra­tor has a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the sto­rage of neces­sa­ry coo­kies for the tech­ni­cal­ly error-free and opti­mi­zed pro­vi­si­on of its ser­vices. If con­sent to the sto­rage of coo­kies and com­pa­ra­ble reco­gni­ti­on tech­no­lo­gies has been reques­ted, the pro­ces­sing is car­ri­ed out exclu­si­ve­ly on the basis of this con­sent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG); the con­sent can be revo­ked at any time.

You can set your brow­ser so that you are infor­med about the set­ting of coo­kies and only allow coo­kies in indi­vi­du­al cases, exclude the accep­tance of coo­kies for cer­tain cases or in gene­ral and acti­va­te the auto­ma­tic dele­ti­on of coo­kies when clo­sing the brow­ser. If coo­kies are deac­ti­va­ted, the func­tion­a­li­ty of this web­site may be rest­ric­ted.

You can find out which coo­kies and ser­vices are used on this web­site in this pri­va­cy poli­cy.

Con­sent with Coo­kie­bot

Our web­site uses the con­sent tech­no­lo­gy of User­cen­trics A/S Coo­kie­bot CMP to obtain your con­sent to the sto­rage of cer­tain coo­kies on your end device or to the use of cer­tain tech­no­lo­gies and to docu­ment the­se in com­pli­ance with data pro­tec­tion regu­la­ti­ons. The pro­vi­der of this tech­no­lo­gy is User­cen­trics A/S, Hav­ne­ga­de 39, 1058 Copen­ha­gen, Den­mark.

Coo­kie­bot is hos­ted on our ser­vers, so no con­nec­tion is estab­lished to the ser­vers of the pro­vi­der of Coo­kie­bot. Coo­kie­bot stores a coo­kie in your brow­ser in order to be able to assign the cons­ents given or their revo­ca­ti­on to you. The data coll­ec­ted in this way is stored until you ask us to dele­te it, dele­te the Coo­kie­bot coo­kie yours­elf or the pur­po­se for sto­ring the data no lon­ger appli­es. Man­da­to­ry sta­tu­to­ry reten­ti­on obli­ga­ti­ons remain unaf­fec­ted.

Coo­kie­bot is used to obtain the legal­ly requi­red con­sent for the use of coo­kies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

Request by e-mail, tele­pho­ne or fax

If you cont­act us by e-mail, tele­pho­ne or fax, we will store and pro­cess your inquiry, inclu­ding all per­so­nal data (name, inquiry), for the pur­po­se of pro­ces­sing your request. We will not pass on this data wit­hout your con­sent.

This data is pro­ces­sed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is rela­ted to the ful­fill­ment of a con­tract or is neces­sa­ry for the imple­men­ta­ti­on of pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­su­res. In all other cases, the pro­ces­sing is based on our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the effec­ti­ve pro­ces­sing of the inqui­ries addres­sed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your con­sent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been reques­ted; con­sent can be revo­ked at any time.

The data you send to us via cont­act requests will remain with us until you ask us to dele­te it, revo­ke your con­sent to sto­rage or the pur­po­se for data sto­rage no lon­ger appli­es (e.g. after your request has been pro­ces­sed). Man­da­to­ry sta­tu­to­ry pro­vi­si­ons - in par­ti­cu­lar sta­tu­to­ry reten­ti­on peri­ods - remain unaf­fec­ted.

Hand­ling of appli­cant data

We offer you the oppor­tu­ni­ty to app­ly to us (e.g. by e-mail, post or via the online appli­ca­ti­on form). In the fol­lo­wing, we inform you about the scope, pur­po­se and use of your per­so­nal data coll­ec­ted during the appli­ca­ti­on pro­cess. We assu­re you that your data will be coll­ec­ted, pro­ces­sed and used in accordance with appli­ca­ble data pro­tec­tion law and all other sta­tu­to­ry pro­vi­si­ons and that your data will be trea­ted in strict con­fi­dence.

Scope and pur­po­se of data coll­ec­tion

If you send us an appli­ca­ti­on, we pro­cess your asso­cia­ted per­so­nal data (e.g. cont­act and com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on data, appli­ca­ti­on docu­ments, notes taken during job inter­views, etc.) inso­far as this is neces­sa­ry to deci­de on the estab­lish­ment of an employ­ment rela­ti­onship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under Ger­man law (initia­ti­on of an employ­ment rela­ti­onship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (gene­ral con­tract initia­ti­on) and - if you have given your con­sent - Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Con­sent can be revo­ked at any time. Your per­so­nal data will only be pas­sed on within our com­pa­ny to per­sons who are invol­ved in pro­ces­sing your appli­ca­ti­on.

If the appli­ca­ti­on is suc­cessful, the data sub­mit­ted by you will be stored in our data pro­ces­sing sys­tems on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the pur­po­se of imple­men­ting the employ­ment rela­ti­onship.

Reten­ti­on peri­od of the data

If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or with­draw your appli­ca­ti­on, we reser­ve the right to retain the data you have sub­mit­ted on the basis of our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the appli­ca­ti­on pro­cess (rejec­tion or with­dra­wal of the appli­ca­ti­on). The data will then be dele­ted and the phy­si­cal appli­ca­ti­on docu­ments des­troy­ed. The reten­ti­on ser­ves in par­ti­cu­lar as evi­dence in the event of a legal dis­pu­te. If it is appa­rent that the data will be requi­red after the 6-month peri­od has expi­red (e.g. due to an impen­ding or pen­ding legal dis­pu­te), the data will only be dele­ted when the pur­po­se for fur­ther sto­rage no lon­ger appli­es.

Lon­ger sto­rage may also take place if you have given your con­sent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if sta­tu­to­ry reten­ti­on obli­ga­ti­ons pre­vent dele­ti­on.
