DATA PROTECTION POLICY

Thank you for your interest in our company. It is normally possible to use our website without providing personal data. To the extent that personal data are collected on our site (e.g. name, physical address, or email address), this is always done, where possible, on a voluntary basis.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, physical address, email address, or phone number of the person concerned, is done in conformity with the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation and with the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to Gieselmann Consulting.

As the party responsible for the processing, Gieselmann Consulting has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures in order to ensure that the protection of the personal data processed on this website is as seamless as possible. Nevertheless, internet-based data transfers may inherently have security gaps, meaning that it is not possible to guarantee absolute protection. For this reason, every data subject is at liberty to transfer personal data to us using an alternative method, such as by phone. Gieselmann Consulting guarantees the confidentiality of your personal data by

• requiring all employees to maintain confidentiality,
• taking security precautions that correspond as much as possible to the current state of technology, and
• complying with the provisions of data protection law, especially those in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the new version of the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, n. F.), and the German Telemedia Act (Telemediengesetz).

Name of Controller

The controller within the meaning of the GDPR, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions in the nature of data protection law is:

1. What data do we collect?

Data that are transmitted by the browser/internet technology

You can visit our website without providing personal data. Your visit to our website is logged. We record the IP address currently being used by your PC, the internet service provider, place, date, and time of day, type of browser and operating systems on your PC, search engine terms, and your surfing behavior on the pages viewed by you on our website. We also record whether a visitor reaches our website from an external site, a social media link, or a search engine, and if so, which one. As a rule, it is not possible for us to make a personal connection. These data are collected by us for the purposes of data security. Other statistical analyses are performed completely anonymously. We do not create or process any personal surfing profiles and do not draw any conclusions about the data subject.

3. Transmission of data to third parties

Gieselmann Consulting undertakes to maintain in confidence all information provided in connection with the recruiting process and not to disclose this information to third parties without consent.

To the extent that Gieselmann Consulting makes use of other companies for data processing (known as “contract data processing”), such companies are contractually obligated to comply with the requirements of data protection law and our instructions and to treat your information with care and not use it for their own purposes or disclose it to third parties.

To the extent that we collect personal data, we or our contract data processors store them on especially secure servers. In order to prevent loss or misuse of the data, we take extensive technical and operational security precautions, which are reviewed on a regular basis and adjusted to remain in line with technical progress. However, please be aware that because of the structure of the internet, it is possible that the rules of data protection and the aforementioned security measures are not observed by other persons or institutions outside of our sphere of responsibility. In particular, data transmitted in unencrypted form—including by email—may be read by third parties. It is your responsibility to protect the data you provide against misuse through encryption or otherwise.

Gieselmann Consulting stores your data only for as long as allowed by law.

If you desire stored data to be erased, we will also promptly do so at your request. However, please be aware that in the event of erasure of your data, we will no longer be able to offer you our services in full or in part.

In addition, you can withdraw or limit your consent to data use at any time in writing.
