Handling of Personal Data

Protecting personal data such as your name, address or contact details is very important to us. entergon GmbH & Co. KG takes a range of precautions to ensure the security of your personal data at all times. Your data is carefully protected against falsification, manipulation, loss, destruction and unauthorised access or disclosure. We do not collect any personal data from you without your consent. You alone decide whether or not you wish to disclose your data to us.

Your personal data is used solely to enable us to answer your enquiries, process your orders or grant you access to specific information or offers. Your personal data is of course neither passed on to third parties nor used or marketed in any other way.

Information obligations pursuant to Art. 13 GDPR: Information on the processing of your personal data

Objection to the Processing of Personal Data

On grounds relating to your particular situation, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balancing of interests); this also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Art. 4(4) GDPR.

Collection of General Information

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet service provider and the like. This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your identity. This information is technically necessary in order to correctly deliver the website content you have requested and is unavoidable when using the internet. Anonymous information of this kind is evaluated statistically by us in order to optimise our website and the technology behind it.

Legal basis and legitimate interest: Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.

Recipients: We use service providers for the operation and maintenance of our website who act as our processors. All service providers are contractually obliged to treat your data confidentially.

Storage period: The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. The data is deleted after a maximum of 3 months at the latest.

Provision of the data: The provision of the aforementioned personal data is neither required by law nor by contract. However, without the IP address, the service and functionality of our website cannot be guaranteed.

When you sign up to receive our newsletter, the data you provide is used exclusively for this purpose. Subscribers may also be informed by email about circumstances relevant to the service or registration (for example, changes to the newsletter offering or technical matters). A valid email address is required for an effective registration. In order to verify that a registration is actually made by the owner of an email address, we use the “double opt-in” procedure. For this purpose, we log the newsletter order, the dispatch of a confirmation email and the receipt of the requested reply. No further data is collected. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter and is not passed on to third parties.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for sending the newsletter at any time. Each newsletter contains a corresponding link for this purpose. You can also unsubscribe directly on this website at any time, or inform us of your wish via the contact options provided at the end of this document. In this context, data is only processed for as long as the corresponding consent exists. After that it is deleted. The provision of your personal data is voluntary, based solely on your consent. Without existing consent we are unfortunately unable to send you our newsletter.

By registering for the newsletter, you agree that data on your usage behaviour with regard to each mailing (open rate, click behaviour, intensity of use) is processed and used in accordance with entergon’s privacy provisions in order to tailor the offering and services of entergon GmbH & Co. KG to your individual needs. This consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. A link to revoke it can be found at the end of every mailing. We use Evalanche to send our newsletter. Evalanche is an analytics service of SC-Networks GmbH, based in Starnberg.

Legal basis for these processing operations is in each case your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

Contact Form

If you contact us by email or via the contact form, the information you provide is stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry and for possible follow-up questions for 6 months. The provision of your personal data is voluntary. However, we can only process your enquiry if you provide us with your name, your email address and the reason for the enquiry. The processing of the data entered into the contact form is carried out on the basis of a legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and with regard to the initiation, performance or termination of a contractual relationship (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

Registration for Receiving the Solution Paper

If you would like to receive our Solution Paper, you can register for it in our registration form. To provide our Solution Paper, we process the data you provide as well as IP addresses, time, etc. The processing is carried out in order to provide you with the requested paper, as well as to subsequently send you thematically relevant information or offers, provided you have consented to this. No processing beyond this takes place. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(b) GDPR, as it is necessary to fulfil the download you requested.

If you have consented to the processing of your usage behaviour (open rate, click behaviour, intensity of use), this is carried out on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(a) GDPR. We use Evalanche to send our Solution Paper. Evalanche is an analytics service of SC-Networks GmbH, based in Starnberg (Germany). Your data is only stored for as long as it is required for the purpose. The provision of your personal data is voluntary. However, we can only process your enquiry if you provide us with your name, your email address and the reason for the enquiry.

Applications

You can submit your application to us by email. We will process the data you provide exclusively to assess your professional suitability and to contact you. The processing is carried out for the purpose of establishing an employment relationship, § 26 BDSG. Within the company, those departments receive access to your data which require it to fulfil contractual, legal and supervisory obligations as well as to safeguard legitimate interests. If we reject your application, the data is deleted six months after notification of the decision. If an employment relationship is established, the application documents are retained at least for the duration of the employment. The provision of personal data is neither required by law nor by contract. However, without this information it is not possible to process the application.
