We process personal data in accordance with the stipulations of the General Data-Protection Regulation (GDPR), the German Federal Data-Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz – BDSG) and other applicable data-protection provisions (details are provided in the following). The details of which data are processed and how they are used depends largely on the services requested or agreed in each case. Further details or additions for the purposes of data processing can be found in the respective contract documents, forms, a declaration of consent and/or other information provided to you (e. g. in the context of the use of our website or our terms and conditions). In addition, this data protection information may be updated from time to time, as you may find out from our website www.dataglobalgroup.com.

The processing of personal data is carried out in order to carry out our contracts with you and the execution of your orders as well as to carry out measures and activities within the framework of pre-contractual relations, e. g. with interested parties. In particular, the processing thus serves to provide services according to your orders and wishes and include the necessary services, measures and activities. TThis essentially includes contract-related communication with you, Credit checks, the verifiability of transactions, orders and other agreements as well as quality control by means of appropriate documentation, goodwill procedures, measures to control and optimize business processes as well as the fulfilment of general duties of care, control and supervision by affiliated companies (e. g. Parent company); statistical evaluations for corporate management, cost recording and controlling, reporting, internal and external communication, emergency management, accounting and tax assessment of operational services, risk management, assertion of legal claims and defence in the event of legal disputes; ensuring IT security (inter alia system and plausibility tests) and general security, including building and plant security, securing and exercising domestic authority (e. g. by means of access controls); guaranteeing the integrity, authenticity and availability of data, preventing and investigating criminal offences; control by supervisory bodies or supervisory authorities (e. g. auditing).

Above and beyond the actual fulfilment of the (pre-) agreement, we process your data whenever this is necessary to protect legitimate interests of our own or of third parties, in particular for the following purposes:

• advertising or market and opinion research, provided you have not objected to the use of your data;
• obtaining information and exchanging data with credit agencies, insofar as this goes beyond our economic risk;
• • the examination and optimization of processes for needs analysis;
• the further development of services and products as well as existing systems and processes;
• • the disclosure of personal data within the framework of due diligence in the course of company sale negotiations;
• for comparison with European and international anti-terror lists, insofar as this goes beyond the legal obligations;
• the enrichment of our data, e. g. by using or researching publicly accessible data;
  statistical evaluations or market analysis;
• of benchmarking;
• the assertion of legal claims and defence in legal disputes which are not directly attributable to the contractual relationship;
• the restricted processing of data, if a deletion is not possible or only possible with disproportionately high effort due to the special type of storage;
• the development of scoring systems or automated decision-making processes;
• • the prevention and investigation of criminal offences, if not exclusively for the fulfilment of legal requirements;
• the anonymization of personal data;
• building and plant security (e. g. by means of access control and video surveillance), insofar as this goes beyond the general duties of care;
• internal and external investigations, safety reviews;
• internal fraud prevention in connection with the performance of a contract as well as pre-contractual measures, insofar as not exclusively for the fulfilment of legal requirements
• any monitoring or recording of telephone conversations for quality control and training purposes;
• Preservation and maintenance of certifications of a private-law or official government nature;
• the seizure and exercise of domestic authority by means of appropriate measures as well as video surveillance for the protection of our customers and employees as well as for securing evidence in the event of criminal offences and their prevention.

Your personal data can also be processed for certain purposes (e.g. use of company communication systems for private purposes; photographs/videos of you for publication in the Intranet/Internet) including as a result of your consent. As a rule, you can revoke this consent at any time. This also applies to the revoking of declarations of consent that were issued to us before the GDPR went into effect, i.e. prior to 25 May 2018. You shall be separately informed about the consequences of revocation or refusal to provide consent in the respective text of the consent.

Generally speaking, revocation of consent only applies to the future. Processing that takes place prior to consent being issued is not affected by such and remains lawful.

Like everyone involved in business, we are also subject to a large number of legal obligations. These are primarily statutory requirements (e.g. commercial and tax laws), but also if applicable supervisory law or other requirements set out by government authorities. The purposes of processing may also include identity and age checks, prevention of fraud and money laundering (e.g. comparisons with European and international anti-terror lists), compliance with control and notification obligations under tax law as well as the archiving of data for the purposes of data protection and data security as well as for purposes of audits by tax advisors/auditors, fiscal and other government authorities. In addition, it may be necessary to disclose personal data within the framework of official government/court measures for the purposes of collecting evidence, law enforcement and criminal prosecution or the satisfaction of civil law claims.s.

If necessary for the contractual relationship with you and the activities performed by you, we may process data which we lawfully receive from other offices or other third parties (e.g. quality assessment or complaints by customers/suppliers/consumers). In addition, we process personal data that we have lawfully collected, received or acquired from publicly accessible sources (such as, for example, commercial registers and association registers, civil registers, the press, Internet and other media) if such is necessary and we are allowed to process this data in accordance with statutory provisions.

Relevant personal data categories may in particular be:

• personal data (name, date of birth, place of birth, nationality, marital status, occupation/trade and comparable data)
• contact data (address, e-mail address, telephone number and similar data)
• Address data (population register data and comparable data)
  Customer history
• data about your use of the tele media offered by us (e. g. time of access to our websites, apps or newsletter, clicked pages/links of us or entries and comparable data)
• Video data

At our company, your data is received by those internal offices or organisational units that need such to fulfil our contractual and statutory obligations or that require such data within the framework of processing and implementing our legitimate interests. Your data will only be passed on to external bodies

• in connection with the execution of the contract;
• for purposes where we are obligated or entitled to give information, notification or forward data (e.g. employer’s liability insurance association, health insurance schemes, fiscal authorities) in order to meet statutory requirements or where the forwarding of data is in the public interest (see number 2.4);
• to the extent that external service-provider companies commissioned by us process data as contract processors or parties that assume certain functions (e.g. external data centres, support and maintenance of IT applications, archiving,
• document processing, call centre services, compliance services, controlling, data screening for anti-money laundering purposes, data validation and data protection. plausibility check, data destruction, purchasing/procurement, customer administration, letter shops, marketing, media technology, research, risk controlling, billing, telephony, website management, auditing services, credit institutions, printing plants or companies for data disposal, courier services, logistics);
• as a result of our legitimate interest or the legitimate interest of the third party within the framework of the purposes cited under number 2.2 (e.g. to government authorities, credit agencies, collection agencies, attorneys, courts of law, appraisers, companies belonging to company groups and bodies and control instances);
• if you have given us consent to transmit data to third parties.

We will not pass on your data to third parties beyond this. If we commission service providers within the framework of processing an order, your data will be subject there to the security standards stipulated by us in order to adequately protect your data. In other cases, the recipients may only use the data for the purposes for which it was transmitted to them.

We process and store your data for the duration of our business relationship. This also includes the initiation of a contract (pre-contractual legal relationship) and the execution of a contract.

Above and beyond this, we are subject to various retention and documentation obligations that emanate inter alia from the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Tax Code (AO). The periods and deadlines for retention and/or documentation stipulated therein are up to ten years beyond the end of the contractual relationship or the pre-contractual legal relationship.

Furthermore, special statutory provisions may require longer retention such as for example the preservation of evidence in connection with statutory time-barring provisions (statute of limitations). Under §§ 195 ff. of the German Civil Code (BGB), the regular time-barred period is three years, but time-barred periods of up to 30 years may also be applicable.

If the data is no longer required to meet contractual or statutory obligations and rights, it is regularly deleted unless its further processing – for a limited period – is necessary to fulfil the purposes listed under number 2.2 due to an overriding legitimate interest. Such an overriding legitimate interest is deemed to be the case, for example, if it is not possible to delete the data as a result of the special type of storage or such is only possible at an unreasonably great expense and processing for other purposes is excluded by appropriate technical and organisational measures.

Data is transmitted to offices in countries outside the European Economic Area EU/EEA (so-called third states) whenever such is necessary to meet a contractual obligation towards you (e.g. if you are despatched to another country), such is required by law (e.g. notification obligations under tax law), such is in the legitimate interest of us or a third party or you have issued us your consent to such.

The processing of your data in a third country may also take place in connection with the involvement of service providers as part of order processing. If no decision has been issued by the EU Commission regarding the insurance of an adequate level of data protection for the respective country or for one or more specific sectors within a third country, appropriate contracts (such as EU standard contracts) and additional measures may be used as a basis for the transfer. Information on the appropriate or reasonable safeguards and the possibility of obtaining a copy from you can be obtained on request from the company data protection officer.

If certain conditions are met, you can assert your data-protection rights against us

• Thus, you have the right to receive information from us on the data stored on you in accordance with the rules of Art. 15 of the GDPR (if applicable with restrictions in accordance with § 34 of the German Federal Data-Protection Act (BDSG))
• If you so request, we shall correct data stored on you in accordance with Art. 16 of the GDPR if such data is incorrect or flawed.
• If you so desire, we shall delete your data in accordance with the principles of Art. 17 of the GDPR if such is not prevented by other statutory provisions (e.g. statutory retention obligations or the restrictions laid down in § 35 of the German Federal Data-Protection Act (BDSG)) or an overriding interest on our part (for example, to defend our rights and claims)
• Taking into account the preconditions laid down in Art. 18 of the GDPR, you can demand that we restrict the processing of your data.
• Furthermore, you can file an objection to the processing of your data in accordance with Art. 21 of the GDPR, as a result of which we have to stop processing your data. This right of objection only applies, however, if very special circumstances characterise your personal situation, whereby the rights of our company may run counter to your right of objection.
• You also have the right to receive your data in accordance with the arrangements laid down in Art. 20 of the GDPR in a structured, commonplace and machine-readable format or transmit such data to a third party.
• You furthermore have the right to revoke consent that has been issued to us to process personal data at any time effective into the future (see number 2.3).
• • You are in addition entitled to file a complaint with a data-protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 of the GDPR). We recommend, however, to first always send a complaint to our data-protection officer.
• Whenever possible, your applications for the exercise of your rights should be sent in writing to the address stated above or addressed directly to our data-protection officer.

You only need to provide data that is necessary for the commencement and performance of the business relationship or for a pre-contractual relationship with us or the collection of which we are required by law. Without this data, we are generally not able to conclude the agreement or continue to perform such. This may also relate to data that is required later within the framework of the contractual relationship. If we request data from you above and beyond this, you shall be informed about the voluntary nature of the information separately.

1. You have the right to file an objection at any time against processing of your data which is performed on the basis of Art. 6, section 1 f of the GDPR (data-processing on the basis of a weighing out of interests) or Art. 6, section 1 e of the GDPR (data-processing in the public interest). The precondition for this, however, is that there are grounds for your objection emanating from your special personal situation. This also applies to profiling that is based on this purpose in the meaning of Art. 4, no. 4 of the GDPR.

If you file an objection, we shall no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling reasons warranting protection for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.

2. We will also use your personal data in order to perform direct advertising. If you do not want to receive any advertising, you have the right to file an objection to such at any time. This also applies to the profiling to the extent that it is connected with such direct advertising. We shall respect this objection with effect into the future.

We shall no longer process your data for the purpose of direct advertising if you object to processing for this purpose.

The objection can be filed without adhering to any form requirements and should if possible be sent to

This website uses the Insight tag from LinkedIn. The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Data processing by LinkedIn Insight Tag

We use the LinkedIn Insight tag to obtain information about visitors to our website. Once a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can analyze the key occupational data (e.g., career level, company size, country, location, industry, job title) of our website visitors to help us better target our site to the relevant audience. We can also use LinkedIn Insight tags to measure whether visitors to our websites make a purchase or perform other actions (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement can also be carried out across devices (e.g. from PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also features a retargeting function that allows us to display targeted advertising to visitors to our website outside of the website. According to LinkedIn, no identification of the advertising addressee takes place.

LinkedIn itself also collects log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties and time of access). The IP addresses are shortened or (if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymized). The direct identifiers of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymized data is then deleted within 180 days.
The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be assigned to specific individuals by us as the website operator. LinkedIn will store the personal data collected from website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it for its own advertising purposes. Details can be found in LinkedIn’s privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig.

Legal basis
If consent has been obtained, the above-mentioned service is used exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. Unless consent has been obtained, the use of this service is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR; the website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures including social media.
Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European Commission. Details can be found here: : https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/dpa and https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/eu-sccs.

Objection to the use of LinkedIn Insight Tag
You can object to LinkedIn’s analysis of user behavior and targeted advertising at the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.

In addition, LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal information for promotional purposes in the account settings. To prevent LinkedIn from linking information collected on our site to your LinkedIn account, you must log out of your LinkedIn account before you visit our site.

We use the HubSpot service to provide the following online forms. For this purpose, we forward your data to HubSpot, which processes the data exclusively on our behalf. See HubSpot’s privacy policy.

We use online conference tools, among other things, for communication with our customers. The tools we use are listed in detail below. If you communicate with us by video or audio conference using the Internet, your personal data will be collected and processed by the provider of the respective conference tool and by us.

The conferencing tools collect all information that you provide/access to use the tools (email address and/or your phone number). Furthermore, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, start and end (time) of participation in the conference, number of participants and other “context information” related to the communication process (metadata).

Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes all the technical data required for the processing of the online communication. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or loudspeaker and the type of connection.

Such content includes, but is not limited to, cloud recordings, chat/ instant messages, voicemail uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared while using the service.

We process personal data in accordance with the stipulations of the General Data-Protection Regulation (GDPR), the German Federal Data-Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutz-gesetz – BDSG) and other applicable data-protection provisions. Details are provided in the following. You will find further or additional details regarding the purposes of data-processing in the respective contractual documents, forms, a declaration of consent, and other information made available to you.

Personal data is processed in order to establish your application for a specific job advertisement or as an unsolicited application, in particular, for the following purposes. Check-ing and assessing your suitability for the position to be filled, performance and behavioural evaluation to the extent allowed by law if necessary for registration and authentication for application via our website, if necessary for drawing up the employment contract, traceability of transactions, orders and other covenants and agreements as well as for quali-ty control through appropriate documentation, measures to fulfil general diligence obligations, statistical assessments pursuant to company steering; travel and event manage-ment, travel reservation and travel cost settlement, authorisation and identification administration, cost recording and controlling, reporting system, internal and external commu-nication, accounting and tax assessment of company benefits (e.g. canteen meals), settlement of company credit card, occupational health and safety, contract-related commu-nication (including appointments) with you, assertion of legal claims and defence in the event of legal disputes; ensuring IT security (inter alia system and plausibility tests) and general security, inter alia building and plant security, ensuring respect for company rules by means of appropriate measures, including if applicable video monitoring to protect third parties and our staff or to prevent criminal acts and to secure evidence in the event of criminal acts being committed; ensuring integrity, preventing and uncovering criminal acts; authenticity and availability of data, controls by supervisory bodies and control instances (e.g. auditing).

Your personal data can also be processed for certain purposes (e.g. obtaining references from previous employers or using your data for subsequent vacancies) including as a result of your consent. As a rule, you can revoke this consent at any time. You shall be separately informed about the consequences of revocation or refusal to provide consent in the respective text of the consent. Generally speaking, revocation of consent only applies to the future. Processing that takes place prior to consent being issued is not affected by such and remains lawful.

Your personal data can also be processed for certain purposes (e.g. obtaining references from previous employers or using your data for subsequent vacancies) including as a result of your consent. As a rule, you can revoke this consent at any time. You shall be separately informed about the consequences of revocation or refusal to provide consent in the respective text of the consent. Generally speaking, revocation of consent only applies to the future. Processing that takes place prior to consent being issued is not affected by such and remains lawful.

Just like any actor which takes part in business life, we are also subject to a large number of legal obligations. These are primarily statutory requirements (e.g. the German Indus-trial Relations Act (Betriebsverfassungsgesetz), the German Social Code, commercial and tax laws), but also if applicable supervisory law or other requirements set out by gov-ernment authorities (e.g. employer’s liability insurance association). The purposes of processing may also include identity and age checks, prevention of fraud and money launder-ing (e.g. comparisons with European and international anti-terror lists), company health management, ensuring occupational health and safety, compliance with control and notifica-tion obligations under tax law as well as the archiving of data for the purposes of data protection and data security as well as for purposes of audits by tax advisors/auditors, fiscal and other government authorities. In addition, it may be necessary to disclose personal data within the framework of official government/court measures for the purposes of collect-ing evidence, law enforcement and criminal prosecution or the satisfaction of civil law claims.

Insofar as this is necessary for the contractual relationship with you and the application you have submitted, we may process data legitimately received from other bodies or other third parties. We also process personal data that we have legitimately obtained, received or acquired from publicly accessible sources (e.g. commercial and association registers, population registers, press, Internet and other media), insofar as this is necessary and we are permitted to process this data in accordance with the statutory provisions.
Relevant personal data categories may in particular be:
– Address and contact data (notification and comparable data such as, for example, e-mail address and telephone number)
– Information about you on the internet or in social medias
– Video data

Within our company, those internal departments or organizational units receive your data that need it to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations (such as managers and specialist managers who are looking for a new employee or are involved in the decision to fill a position, accounting, company doctor, occupational safety, employee representatives, etc.) or as part of the processing and implementation of our legitimate interest. Your data will only be passed on to external bodies

• to process your application in response to a specific job advertisement or as an unsolicited application to employees of group companies, insofar as they participate in or support the decision on filling the position (see number 2.1).
• for purposes where we are obligated or entitled to give information, notification or forward data (e.g. employer’s liability insurance association, health insurance schemes, fiscal authorities) in order to meet statutory requirements or where the forwarding of data is in the public interest (see number 2.4);
• to the extent that external service-provider companies commissioned by us process data as contract processors or parties that assume certain functions (e.g. credit institutes, external research centres, travel agencies/travel management, printers or companies that perform data disposal, courier services, postal service, logistics);
• as a result of our legitimate interest or the legitimate interest of the third party within the framework of the purposes cited under number 2.2 (e.g. to government au-thorities, credit agencies, attorneys, courts of law, appraisers, companies belonging to company groups and bodies and control instances)
• if you have given us consent to transmit data to third parties.

We shall moreover refrain from transmitting your data to third parties if we have not informed you of such separately. If we commission service providers within the framework of processing an order, your data will be subject there to the security standards stipulated by us in order to adequately protect your data. In all other cases, recipients may only use the data for purposes for which the data has been sent to them.

In principle, we process and store your data for the period of your application. This also includes the initiation of a contractual agreement (pre-contractual legal relationship).

Above and beyond this, we are subject to various retention and documentation obligations that emanate inter alia from the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Tax Code (AO). The periods and deadlines for retention and/or documentation stipulated therein are up to ten years beyond the end of the contractual relationship or the pre-contractual legal relationship. Electronic data will be deleted after six months accordingly. If we want to store your data longer for later vancancies or if you have entered your data in an applicant tool, the data will be deleted at a later date; Details will be provided in connection with the respective process.

If the data are no longer required for the fulfillment of contractual or legal obligations and rights, they are regularly deleted, unless their – temporary – further processing is necessary to fulfill the purposes listed under section 2.2 for an overriding legitimate interest of our company. Such an overriding legitimate interest exists, for example, if deletion is not possible or only possible with disproportionate effort due to the special type of storage. In these cases, we may also store your data after the end of our contractual relationship for a period agreed with the purposes and, if necessary, use it to a limited extent. In these cases, processing is generally restricted instead of erased. In other words, the data is blocked against the usual use by appropriate measures.

Data is transmitted to offices in countries outside the European Economic Area EU/EEA (so-called third states) whenever such is necessary to meet a contractual obligation towards you (e.g. application for a job in another country), such is in the legitimate interest of us or a third party or you have issued us your consent to such.

At the same time, your data may be processed in a third country including in connection with the involvement of service providers within the framework of the processing of the order. If no decision has been issued by the EU Commission regarding the ensurance of an adequate level of data protection for the respective country or for one or more specific sectors within a third country, appropriate contracts (such as EU standard contracts) and additional measures may be used as a basis for the transfer. Information on the appropriate or adequate safeguards and on the possibility of obtaining a copy from you can be requested from the company data protection officer.

If certain conditions are met, you can assert your data-protection rights against us

Everybody has the right to receive information on his data stored in accordance with the rules of Art. 15 of the GDPR, the right of correction with the rules of Art. 16 of the GDPR, the right of deletion with the rules of Art. 17 of the GDPR, the right of restriction with the rules of Art. 18 of the GDPR, the right of data portability with the rules of Art. 20 of the GDPR. According to the right of deletion and the right of information the restrictions laid down in §§ 34 and 35 of the German Federal Data-Protection Act (BDSG) come into force. You furthermore are entitled to file a complaint with a data-protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 of the GDPR together with § 19 BDSG)

Whenever possible, your applications for the exercise of your rights should be sent in writing to the address stated above or addressed directly to our data-protection officer.

You only need to provide data that is necessary for processing your application or for a pre-contractual relationship with us or the collection of which we are required by law. Without this data, we are generally not able to continue the job application process or the selection procedure. If we request data from you above and beyond this, you shall be informed about the voluntary nature of the information separately.

We do not use any purely automated decision-making procedure as set out in Article 22 of the GDPR. If we do institute such a procedure in individual cases in the future, we shall inform you pursuant hereto separately if this is required by law.

Information on your right of objection under Art. 21 of the GDPR

1. 1. You have the right to file an objection at any time against processing of your data which is performed on the basis of Art. 6, section 1 f of the GDPR (data-processing on the basis of a weighing out of interests) or Art. 6, section 1 e of the GDPR (data-processing in the public interest). The precondition for this, however, is that there are grounds for your objection emanating from your special personal situation. This also applies to profiling that is based on this purpose in the meaning of Art. 4, no. 4 of the GDPR.

If you file an objection, we shall no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling reasons warranting protection for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.

You can of course withdraw your application at any time.

2. 2. We will not use your personal data in order to perform direct advertising. Beside this we have to inform you that you have the right to file an objection to such at any time. This also applies to the profiling to the extent that it is connected with such direct advertising. We shall respect this objection with effect into the future.

The objection can be filed without adhering to any form requirements and should if possible be sent to
