We use a so-called Content Delivery Network (CDN) for the distribution of our online services - in particular large media files. Our CDN is a network of regionally distributed servers of our technical service providers (processors) connected via the Internet. When the online offer is called up, the Internet browser or the programme with which the offer is called up automatically transmits information to these service providers, which is collected in corresponding log files, the so-called server log files, and processed on servers within the European Union. The server log files are anonymised on these servers and then transmitted to the USA without any personal reference. The server log files are stored there for 90 days and then automatically deleted. The server log files include, in particular, details of the browser and operating system used, an indication of the origin of the previously visited pages (so-called referral URL), the IP address of the device used, the name of the Internet provider, as well as the date and time of all page views under the offer, including the amount of data transmitted. In addition, technical, non-personal data in the form of video start time, technically caused interruptions and loading times, received quality and network information are collected on evaluation servers to optimise video quality and ensure the accessibility of the videos. tagesschau.de generally also collects measurement data about the service in order to determine metrics such as loading times, transmission speed, file sizes, etc. (monitoring). This allows the functionality of the website on the respective end device to be checked and improved. This data is processed by the technical service provider on servers within the European Union and then transmitted to the USA in anonymised form and without personal reference for evaluation. The anonymised measurement data is automatically deleted after the statutory storage periods have expired.

V. Web analysis through Google Analytics
1. scope of data processing
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter "Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (such as browser type/browser version, operating system used, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address, time of the server request) is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will first be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. For these exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage.
The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
The website https://jobs.boellhoff.com uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymiseIp".
IP anonymisation is therefore activated at Böllhoff. The IP address is anonymised so that it cannot be assigned to a specific natural person. If the data collected about you is personally identifiable, it is immediately excluded and the personal data is deleted immediately.
2. purpose of data processing
The purpose of using Google Analytics is the needs-based design and continuous optimisation of our website. We use Google Analytics to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. We can use the statistics obtained to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user.
3. legal basis
The use of Google Analytics is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. By using Google Analytics, we want to ensure the needs-based design and continuous optimisation of our website. Furthermore, we want to statistically record the use of our website and evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our offer. As your IP address is anonymised and can therefore no longer be traced back to you personally, our interest in optimising our website through the use of Google Analytics outweighs this. By anonymising the IP address, the interest of users in the protection of their personal data is sufficiently taken into account.
4. possibility of elimination
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
If you wish to prevent the collection of data by Google Analytics, you can object
via the opt-out link and deactivate data collection. This deactivation is stored in the cookies. Please note that this setting will be lost if you delete the cookie.
You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the available browser add-on.
5. information from the third-party provider
Information from the third-party provider, including on data protection in connection with Google Analytics: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001. User conditions: http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html, overview of data protection: http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/learn/privacy.html, as well as the privacy policy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy
VI. Integration of YouTube videos
1. scope of data processing
We have integrated YouTube videos from Böllhoff into our online offering, which are stored on https://www.youtube.com and can be played directly from our website. These are all integrated in "extended data protection mode", i.e. no data about you as a user is transferred to YouTube if you do not play the videos. Only when you play the videos will the data mentioned below be transmitted. We have no influence on this data transfer.
By visiting the website, YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data mentioned
under IV section 1. of this declaration
is transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. YouTube stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or customising its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide customised advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.
Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by YouTube can be found in YouTube's privacy policy. There you will also find further information on your rights and setting options to protect your privacy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. Google also processes your personal data in the USA and has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
2. legal basis
The legal basis for the processing of users' personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Böllhoff videos on the YouTube platform are integrated there in extended data protection mode. It is up to the user to decide whether to play the video shown to them, as is also possible at any other time when visiting the YouTube platform. Our interest in the integration of Böllhoff videos on YouTube is the presentation of our company and our products to both applicants and potential applicants. A higher interest of the user, who is free to decide whether a video can be played, is not apparent.
VII. Social Media
1. data protection for online presences of the Böllhoff Group in social media such as YouTube, LinkedIn, Xing, kununu and Instagram
The editorial team of the Böllhoff Group is active and present on social networks and platforms in order to communicate with interested parties and users and to inform them about further offers. As stated by the European Court of Justice (judgement of 5 June 2018 - C-210/16), the operators of these so-called fan pages are also responsible for data processing in addition to the portal owners.
The Böllhoff Group therefore provides information here about data processing insofar as we are aware of this and can influence it.
2. nature and purpose of data processing
The portals collect personal data to evaluate user behaviour. Some of this data is made available to the operators of fan pages in anonymised form. As the operator of these fan pages, the Böllhoff Group also receives anonymised statistical data from the platform operators or via a service provider commissioned by the Böllhoff Group. This data does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the respective person. This data is only used to analyse user behaviour so that the Böllhoff Group can better tailor its offers to the needs and interests of its applicants. The Böllhoff Group can only specify the categories of data and persons according to which the portal operator evaluates its data collection and makes it available in the form of anonymised statistics. The Böllhoff Group does not know what data is collected in total and for what purposes it is processed. We ask for your understanding that we can only inform you to the extent of our knowledge of the data processing and our influence on the data processing.
However, the Böllhoff Group would like to point out that the operators of the platforms are mostly American companies and that their data may
therefore also be processed
outside the European Union. This may give rise to risks, for example because it could make it more difficult to enforce users' rights. The data protection declarations of the individual providers provide further details.

8. the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Art. 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.
You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.
2. right to rectification
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.
3. right to restriction of processing
Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data:
1. if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
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 (1) GDPR and it is not yet certain whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds.
If the processing of personal data concerning you 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.
4. right to cancellation
a) Obligation to erase
You have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds 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 and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

4. The personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.

c) Exceptions
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 the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
5. right to information
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.
6. right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, 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 on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and
2. the processing is carried out using automated procedures.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you 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.
7. right of objection
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR.
The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you 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.
If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.
If you would like to exercise your right to object, please inform the respective controller using one of the contact options listed in I. above.
8. right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law
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 (no retroactive effect of withdrawal). If you wish to make use of your right of revocation, please inform the respective controller using one of the contact options listed under I.
9. automated decision in individual cases
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing 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.
In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), 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.
10. right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
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 personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
IX. Data security
When you visit our website, we use the widely used SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. As a rule, this is 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can recognise whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.
We also use suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
