Data protection

1. General Information and Mandatory Disclosures

Data Protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data are data that can be used to personally identify you. 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 via email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

 

Notice Regarding the Responsible Party

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

Aumann AG
Mr. Sebastian Roll
Dieselstraße 6
48361 Beelen

Phone: +49 2586 888-0
Email: info@aumann.com

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or together with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

 

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke consent you have already given at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of data processing carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

 

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of data protection violations, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority in matters of data protection law is the state data protection officer of the federal state in which our company has its registered office. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found at the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/EN/Service/Anschriften/Laender/Laender-node.html

 

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser’s address line changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

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

 

Information, Blocking, Deletion

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, a right to rectification, blocking, or deletion of these data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice.

 

Objection to Promotional Emails

The use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby prohibited. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example via spam emails.

3. Data Collection on Our Website

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

These data will not be combined with other data sources.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

 

Contact Form and Email Inquiries

 

Purpose of Processing
When using our contact form, we collect and store your name and email address for the purpose of answering your inquiry. Providing a phone number for a callback is optional. If you send us a contact request by email, we collect and store the email address and the data contained in the email.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, as by using the form or sending an email, you consent to the processing of your data as described above. In addition, the legal basis also arises from Art. 6 (1) (b), as storing the data is necessary for fulfilling a pre-contractual or possibly later contractual relationship.

The data will be deleted once the purpose of storage no longer applies, i.e., after your email/contact form inquiry has been answered or the matter associated with the inquiry has been conclusively clarified.

You have the right to revoke the consent you have given at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out based on the consent before revocation.

For information on rights of deletion and access, see "Rights of Data Subjects."

 

Newsletter

 

Purpose of Processing
If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address. Registration for the newsletter takes place via the double opt-in procedure. This means that after registering, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This procedure ensures that no one can register using someone else’s email address. Your registration for the newsletter is logged (storage of registration and confirmation time and IP address). The logging allows the registration process to be proven in accordance with legal requirements.

You may revoke your consent to the storage of your email address (and optionally your first and last name for personalized addressing) and their use for sending the newsletter, including associated performance measurement, at any time. A cancellation link is provided at the end of every newsletter. To prove consent previously given, we may store unsubscribed email addresses for up to 2 years before deletion.

Legal basis for sending newsletters and related performance measurement: This is carried out on the basis of the recipient’s consent under Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, Art. 7 GDPR in conjunction with § 7 (2) No. 3 UWG, or based on legal permission pursuant to § 7 (3) UWG.
Additionally, Art. 6 (1) (f): Our legitimate interest in performance measurement arises from recognizing our users’ reading habits based on newsletter openings, open times, and clicked links, in order to create and send interest-based and useful content.

Legal basis for logging is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest arises from operating a secure and user-friendly newsletter system that is useful for sending and protects the personal data of newsletter subscribers. It also allows us to prove consent.

 

Online Applications

 

Purpose of Processing
If you apply to us in response to a job advertisement, we will collect your personal data such as first name, last name, address, phone number, email address, attachments (cover letter, CV, certificates, photo), and store them for the duration of the selection process.

 

By checking the box and submitting the form, you expressly agree that we may collect, process, and use the data you submit to us, including sensitive information about mental and physical health, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union or political party membership, or sexual life, for the purpose of the application.

Your data will be used exclusively by authorized personnel in the HR department or management for processing within the selection process. Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

If the specific position you applied for has already been filled but your profile is suitable for future employment or employment with a partner or subsidiary company, we will obtain your explicit consent before storing or forwarding your application, unless you have already consented to such storage or forwarding in your application.

If you submit an unsolicited application to our general contact email address, the content of your application email may be seen by unauthorized personnel. The requirement is that application documents must be forwarded unopened directly to the HR department and the incoming email deleted. If you wish to avoid this, please contact us by phone before submitting an unsolicited application to obtain the contact details of the correct person.

Legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, for processing pre-contractual measures.

Unless you inform us otherwise, data will be deleted 6 months after completion of the application process, or destroyed in the case of postal applications. Due to long recruitment and selection periods for trainees, we store their data in Germany for up to 18 months.

Provided the respective legal requirements are met, you have the following rights: right of access to your stored data; rectification, deletion, restriction of processing of your data, or objection to processing, as well as data portability. Furthermore, you may at any time request deletion or destruction of all your application documents by sending us an email.
