I. General information on data protection

1.1 Note on the responsible entity:

proLogistik Holding GmbH
Fallgatter 1
44369 Dortmund

We attach particular importance to the protection of your personal data. Your personal data will be processed in accordance with the data protection regulations, in particular the European Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG n. F.).

The following information provides an overview of the type, scope and purpose of the collection, processing and transmission of personal data and the security measures used to protect this data.

Personal data is individual information about personal or factual circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person, such as your name, address, telephone number, date of birth, and e-mail and IP address.

1.2 Legal basis for the processing of personal data

  • Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR serves as the legal basis. You may object to future processing at any time pursuant to Art. 7 para. 3 EU GDPR to us.
  • When processing personal data that is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU DS-GVO as the legal basis.
  • Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c EU GDPR serves as the legal basis.
  • If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU DS-GVO as the legal basis for the processing. In this case, you have the right to object according to Art. 21 EU GDPR.

1.3 Data deletion and storage period

Personal data is deleted as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. In addition, storage may take place if this is provided for by statutory retention obligations to which our company is subject (e.g. accounting or tax retention periods of up to 10 years in accordance with AO and HGB).

1.4 Your rights

Upon written request, we will inform you in accordance with Art. 15 EU GDPR and our legal obligation under Art. 12 EU GDPR whether and which of your personal data is processed or stored by us. Furthermore, you have the right to correct inaccurate data in accordance with Art. 16 EU GDPR, data portability in accordance with Art. 20 EU GDPR, blocking and deletion of your personal data in accordance with Art. 17 EU GDPR – provided that there are no legal retention obligations to the contrary – and the right to restrict processing in accordance with Art. 18 EU GDPR. In addition, you have the right to contact the competent supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 EU GDPR.

IN ADDITION, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT PURSUANT TO ART. 21 EU GDPR, PROVIDED THAT THE PROCESSING RELATES TO LEGITIMATE INTERESTS PURSUANT TO ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. F EU GDPR SUPPORTS.

If you have given us your consent to process your data, there is of course always the right to do so pursuant to Art. 7 para. 3 EU DS-GVO, you have the option of revoking this with respect to us for the future.

If you have any questions regarding the processing of your personal data, you can contact our data protection officer, who is also available to you in the event of requests for information, suggestions or complaints.

1.5 Minors

Our online services are generally aimed at individuals of legal age. Personal information of individuals who have not yet reached the age of 16 may only be made available to us if the express consent of the parent or guardian has been obtained (Art. 8 EU GDPR). Processing without the consent of the parent or guardian is not permitted. We therefore reserve the right to delete all data relating to minors unless we have the consent of a parent or guardian.

1.6 Change to our privacy policy

In order to ensure that our privacy policy always complies with the current legal requirements, we reserve the right to make changes at any time. This also applies in the event that the data protection declaration has to be adapted due to new or revised services, for example new services.

Status: 2023

II. Privacy policy website

2.1 Provision of the website

Use of hosting service providers

Our website is hosted on servers located in the EU by a hosting service provider on the basis of commissioned processing pursuant to Art. 28 EU GDPR. The hosting service provider may have access to personal data of our users as part of its services, in particular to technical data that is generated as part of the technical communication between you and our website (e.g. server log files). They may not use them for their own purposes. The use of a hosting service provider is based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR in the provision of infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, e-mail dispatch and security services.

Server log files

When you visit our website or use its services, the device with which you access the page automatically transmits log data (connection data) to our server. The corresponding information consists of:

  • Type and version of the browser you are using,
  • Type and version of the operating system you are using,
  • Referrer URL of the page from which you arrived at our website,
  • Date and time of accessing our website,
  • Name of the sub-pages you have accessed,
  • IP address of your computer system,
  • Amount of data transferred in each case.

The data collected is used exclusively for statistical evaluations for the purpose of the operation, security and optimization of the offer. For security reasons, however, we reserve the right to subsequently review the log data if there is a justified suspicion of unlawful use based on concrete indications. The data will not be stored longer than necessary for this purpose. This collection is based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR.

Cookies

We use so-called cookies in some areas of the website in order to recognize visitors’ preferences and to be able to design the website accordingly in an optimal and attractive manner. This allows for easier navigation and a high level of usability of the website. The processing by cookies for the technical provision of the website constitutes a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR / § 25 para. 2 TDDDG. In addition, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR or § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as we require your consent for the use of cookies (including for marketing or analysis purposes).

Cookies are small text files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your terminal device when you visit our website. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Most of the cookies we use are deleted again at the end of the browser session (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your computer and enable us to recognize your computer on your next visit (so-called permanent or cross-session cookies). Thanks to these files, it is possible, for example, to have information displayed on the page that is specifically tailored to your interests.

You can set your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies. This makes the use of cookies transparent for you. If you completely exclude the use of cookies, you may not be able to use some features of this website. You can find out how to manage (including disabling) cookies on the main browsers by following the links below:

Borlabs – Cookie Content Management

We use the consent management tool Borlabs GmbH, Rübenkamp 32, 22305 Hamburg, Germany on our website.

The tool allows you to give consent to data processing via the website, in particular the setting of cookies, as well as to exercise your right to withdraw consent you have already given. Data processing serves the purpose of obtaining and documenting required consents for data processing and thus complying with legal obligations.

Cookies can be used for this purpose. Information that may be collected and transmitted to Borlabs includes: anonymized IP address, date and time of consent, URL from which consent was sent, anonymous random encrypted key, consent status. This data will not be passed on to other third parties.

The data processing is carried out for the fulfillment of a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

For more information about Borlabs’ privacy practices, please visit: https://de.borlabs.io/datenschutz/

Security of your data

We use technical and organizational security measures to adequately protect the data you provide against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. We therefore use SSL encryption for the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. Our security measures are further developed according to the state of the art.

2.2 Contacting

If you contact us (e.g. by contact form, e-mail, telephone, social media), your personal data will be used for the purpose of processing the request and any related follow-up questions pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU GDPR (in the context of pre-contractual/contractual measures) or pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR (general enquiries) are stored and processed by us. We do not pass on this data without your respective consent.

The data you provide will remain with us until you request us to delete it, object to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (i.e. after we have completed processing your request), provided that this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.

2.3 Registration

If you register on our website in order to make use of goods, services and information (e.g. creation of repair certificates) in our online portal, personal data will be collected. If required, registered users have the option of changing or deleting the data provided during registration at any time. Your data may be passed on to shipping and payment service providers commissioned by us to process the transaction. Any further disclosure to third parties will not take place. The processing of your personal data is carried out on the basis of contract processing (pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU GDPR). This data is deleted in accordance with the statutory retention obligations.

2.4 Use of personal data for advertising purposes

We use your contact details to inform you about our products and services. Customer information is sent on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR to direct advertising and insofar as this is permitted by law, such as in the case of existing customer advertising under the legal requirements of Section 7 para. 3 UWG (German law on unfair business practices). You will receive this information from us regardless of whether you have subscribed to a newsletter.
If you do not wish to receive such information or recommendations from us by e-mail, you can object to the use of your address for this purpose at any time in accordance with Art. 21 EU GDPR without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs. A notification in text form is sufficient for this.

2.5 Newsletter

If you register for our newsletter on our website, we will use the personal data you provide in this context exclusively for sending the newsletter.

The registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registering, you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary to prevent registrations from other e-mail addresses. Subscriptions to the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with the legal requirements (consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR). This includes storing the time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address. Any data we receive from you and the logged information will not be passed on to third parties.

You can revoke your consent to the collection and storage of your data and its use for sending the newsletter at any time without giving reasons. You will find a link to unsubscribe from the newsletter at the end of each newsletter.

2.6 Analysis tools

The analysis measures listed below and used by us are carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR (consent) is carried out. With the use of these analysis measures, we want to ensure a needs-based design and the ongoing optimization of our website. By means of the analysis tools, we record the use of our website pseudonymously and evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Google Analytics

We use the Google Analytics web analytics service provided by Google Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; “Google”) on our website.

The data processing serves the purpose of analyzing this website and its visitors, as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. For this purpose, Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The following information, among others, may be collected: IP address, date and time of page view, click path, information about the browser you are using and the device you are using, pages visited, referrer URL (website from which you accessed our website), location data, purchase activity. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.

Google Analytics uses technologies such as cookies, web storage in the browser and tracking pixels, which allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by this about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. There is no EU Commission adequacy decision for the USA. Data is transferred on the basis of standard contractual clauses, among others, as suitable guarantees for the protection of personal data, which can be viewed at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://business.safety.google/adsprocessorterms/. Both Google and U.S. government agencies have access to your data. Your information may be linked by Google to other information, such as your search history, your personal accounts, your usage data from other devices, and any other information Google may have about you.

IP anonymization is activated on this website. This means that your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

The use of cookies or similar technologies takes place with your consent on the basis of § 25 para. 1 p. 1 TDDDG in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR. The processing of your personal data is carried out with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.

2.7 Third-party content and services

On the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR, contents, services and performances of other providers, which complement our offer, are integrated within our online offer. With the use of the following services, we want to ensure a demand-oriented design and the continuous optimization of our website. If we request your consent for the use of these services, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR.

Google Tag Manager

The Google Tag Manager is used on our website. Google Tag Manager is a solution from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4 Ireland, with which we can manage website tags via an interface. The tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookieless domain that does not collect any personal data. The Google Tag Manager takes care of triggering other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made by the user at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager. The tags used are named separately below and can be edited by you individually in the privacy settings, for example by disabling cookies for these elements. More information: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Vimeo

Videos from the Vimeo platform are embedded on our website. Vimeo is operated by Vimeo, LLC, headquartered at 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011. In doing so, information about the use of our website is communicated to the Google server. If you are logged in as a Vimeo member, Vimeo assigns this information to your personal user account. You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your Vimeo user account before using our website and deleting the corresponding cookies from Vimeo. For more information on data processing and privacy notices by Vimeo, please visit https://vimeo.com/privacy.

Since Vimeo may use Google Analytics, we refer you to Google’s privacy policy(https://www.google.com/policies/privacy) as well as opt-out options for Google Analytics(http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

Links to third-party websites

Based on our legitimate interest, it may happen that links to other providers, which complement our offer, are integrated within this online offer. When calling up web pages referred to within the framework of this website, information such as name, IP address, browser properties, etc. may be requested again. This privacy policy does not regulate the collection, disclosure or handling of personal data by third parties. In this context, please note the specific privacy statements of the individual third-party providers and service providers whose links we include on our website.

III. Information for applicants *inside

3.1 Purpose and legal basis for the collection and processing

Your data will be processed by us for the purpose of processing your application in accordance with Art. 88 EU DS-GVO in conjunction with § 26 BDSG-neu. If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 para. 1 EU DS-GVO, their processing is additionally carried out according to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b EU GDPR.

3.2 Recipients of your data

The recipients of your data are the units involved in the HR process (including Human Resources, managers and department heads) of the responsible unit. Your data will be treated as strictly confidential and will not be disclosed to third parties without your respective consent. A transfer to third countries or international organizations is not intended.

Your application data will be deleted 180 days after the position has been filled. If you are also interested in future advertised positions, we require your written consent to store your application documents for a longer period of time. You can withdraw this consent at any time in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 EU DS-GVO to us for the future. For this purpose, please send an e-mail with the corresponding note to the contact address given above.

IV. Information for customers and suppliers

4.1 Purpose and legal basis for the collection and processing

First and foremost, data processing serves to establish, implement and terminate the contractual relationship. The primary legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU GDPR. Without this type of use of your data, the implementation of the business relationship existing between you and us is not possible.

We also process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties (e.g. public authorities). This may be necessary, for example, to maintain IT security and IT operations or for corporate management, internal communication and other administrative purposes. You can object to this processing by stating special reasons in accordance with Art. 21 EU GDPR.

In addition, we process your data to fulfill legal obligations such as regulatory requirements, commercial and tax retention obligations or documentation obligations. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c EU GDPR in conjunction with the nationally applicable laws.

In individual cases, we may also process your data on the basis of your separate consent granted to us in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, 7 EU GDPR (e.g. publication of photo and video recordings). You are always free to decide whether you want to declare your consent. Once you have given your consent, you can revoke it at any time with effect for the future. For this purpose, please use the link provided in the respective action or send corresponding inquiries to the contact address given above.

If we process your personal data for a purpose not mentioned above, we will inform you in advance.

4.2 Recipients of your data

Within our company, only those persons receive your personal data who need them to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations. In addition, we sometimes use different service providers to fulfill these obligations, so that it may be necessary to transfer your personal data to other recipients outside the company, insofar as this is necessary to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations. These third parties can be, for example, government agencies, financial institutions, suppliers, etc.

In order to process your data technically, we sometimes use external service providers. We may transfer and process your data outside the country in which you have your residence/company headquarters or in one of the countries in which we operate. These may also be located outside the European Economic Area. If we transfer personal data to service providers or companies outside the European Economic Area (EEA), the transfer will only take place if the third country has been confirmed by the EU Commission to have an adequate level of data protection or if other appropriate data protection guarantees (e.g. binding internal company data protection regulations or EU standard contractual clauses) are in place. Detailed information can also be requested using the contact information above.

4.3 Storage of your data

We only store your personal data for as long as it is required for the above-mentioned purposes. After termination of the contractual relationship, your personal data will be stored for as long as we are legally obliged to do so. This regularly results from legal obligations to provide evidence and to retain records, which are regulated, among other things, in the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) and the German Fiscal Code (Abgabenordnung). The storage periods are then up to ten years. In addition, personal data may be retained for the period during which claims may be brought against us (statutory limitation period of three or up to thirty years).
