3. Allgemeine Hinweise und Pflichtinformationen

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 the applicable statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.
When you use this website, various types of personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. 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.
Please note that data transmission over the internet, for example when communicating by email, may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information on the Data Controller
The data controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

ZVK Technologies GmbH
Represented by:
Managing Directors: Joachim Zellner, Andreas Klees
Parkring 11
85748 Garching near Munich
Germany

Phone: +49 (0)89 312 03 49 0
Email: info@zvk-gmbh.de

The data controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data, such as names, email addresses or similar information.

Storage Period
Unless a more specific storage period is stated within this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you submit a legitimate request for erasure or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data, such as retention periods under tax or commercial law. In the latter case, the data will be deleted once these grounds no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR where special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your terminal device, for example through device fingerprinting, data processing is additionally based on Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for taking steps prior to entering into a contract, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, where your data is required to fulfil a legal obligation, we process it on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the applicable legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following sections of this Privacy Policy.

Data Protection Officer
We have appointed a Data Protection Officer.

Datenbeschützerin Regina Stoiber GmbH

Information on Data Transfers to the USA and Other Third Countries
Among other things, we use tools provided by companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not considered secure under data protection law. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. Please note that a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies may be required to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It therefore cannot be ruled out that US authorities, such as intelligence agencies, may process, analyse and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Specific Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE APPLICABLE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS THE PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format and to have this data provided to you or to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out where technically feasible.

Access, Erasure and Rectification

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, the right to request the rectification or erasure of this data. You may contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions concerning personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification process, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

  • If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of erasure.

  • If we no longer require your personal data, but you need it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of erasure.

  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your interests and our interests must be balanced against each other. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent, for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL and TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line in your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Promotional Emails
We hereby object to the use of contact details published as part of the legal notice requirements for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials. The operators of the website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information being sent, for example through spam emails.

4. Datenerfassung auf dieser Website

Cookies
Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any damage to your terminal device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable certain services provided by third-party companies to be integrated into websites, for example cookies used for processing payment services.
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them, such as the shopping basket function or the display of videos. Other cookies may be used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are required to carry out electronic communication processes, provide certain functions requested by you, such as the shopping basket function, or optimise the website, for example cookies used to measure website audiences, are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies in order to provide its services in a technically error-free and optimised manner.
Where consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG). Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
You can configure your browser so that you are informed when cookies are set and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website. Details of the cookies and services used on this website can be found in this Privacy Policy.

Consent with Cookiebot
Our website uses Cookiebot consent technology to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your terminal device or to the use of certain technologies and to document this consent in compliance with data protection requirements. The provider of this technology is Cybot A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark (hereinafter referred to as “Cookiebot”).
When you access our website, a connection is established with Cookiebot’s servers in order to obtain your consent and other declarations regarding the use of cookies. Cookiebot then stores a cookie in your browser in order to associate the consent you have given or its withdrawal with you. The data collected in this way is stored until you request its deletion, delete the Cookiebot cookie yourself or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.
Cookiebot is used in order to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Data Processing Agreement
We have entered into a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract required under data protection law which ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Contact Form
If you submit enquiries to us via the contact form, the information you provide in the enquiry form, including the contact details entered there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not disclose this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for taking steps prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), where such consent has been requested. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, for example once your enquiry has been fully processed. Mandatory statutory provisions, particularly retention periods, remain unaffected.

Enquiries by Email, Telephone or Fax
If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all personal data resulting from it, such as your name and the content of the enquiry, will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not disclose this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for taking steps prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), where such consent has been requested. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
The data you send to us in connection with contact enquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, for example once your request has been fully processed.

5. Analytics Tools and Advertising

Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, length of stay, operating systems used and the user’s origin. This data is combined in a user ID and assigned to the respective terminal device of the website visitor.
Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the user to be recognised for the purpose of analysing user behaviour, such as cookies or device fingerprinting. The information collected by Google regarding the use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
This service is used on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
Data transfers to the USA are based on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

IP Anonymisation
We have activated IP anonymisation on this website. This means that your IP address will be truncated by Google within Member States of the European Union or other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide the website operator with other services relating to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser Plugin
You can prevent Google from collecting and processing your data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
Further information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Data Processing Agreement
We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

6. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with Enhanced Privacy
This website embeds videos from YouTube. The operator of the service is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily prevent data from being shared with YouTube partners. For example, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you watch a video.
As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to associate your browsing behaviour directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Furthermore, after a YouTube video is started, YouTube may store various cookies on your terminal device or use comparable recognition technologies, such as device fingerprinting. In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent attempted fraud.
After a YouTube video is started, further data processing operations may be triggered over which we have no control.
YouTube is used in the interest of presenting our online services in an attractive manner. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s terminal device, such as device fingerprinting, within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
Further information about data protection at YouTube can be found in its Privacy Policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Google Maps
This website uses the Google Maps mapping service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
In order to use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The operator of this website has no influence over this data transfer. If Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Fonts to ensure the uniform display of fonts. When Google Maps is accessed, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display text and fonts correctly.
Google Maps is used in the interest of presenting our online services in an attractive manner and making the locations specified on our website easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s terminal device, such as device fingerprinting, within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
Data transfers to the USA are based on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/ und https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/sccs/.
Further information on how user data is handled can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Google Translate
To make our website available in other languages, we use Google Translate. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
For data protection reasons, Google Translate is deactivated by default. Google Translate is only activated when you actively select another language. Data is then transmitted to Google. In addition to the URL of the page visited, your IP address is also transmitted. We have no influence over the data collected or the data processing procedures. The scope of data collection, the purposes of processing and the storage periods are determined by Google. 
Information on how Google handles your data can be found directly from Google:
http://www.google.com/intl/de_de/policies/privacy/.
Google Translate is used on the basis of our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, namely the attractive presentation of our website in additional languages.
Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s terminal device, such as device fingerprinting, within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
Data transfers to the USA are based on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/ und https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/sccs/.
Please note that computer-generated translations may sometimes only approximate the original text on our website.

7. Processing of Customer and Contract Data

We collect, process and use personal customer and contract data for the establishment, content design and modification of our contractual relationships. We collect, process and use personal data relating to the use of this website (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable the user to make use of the service or to invoice the user. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
The customer data collected will be deleted once the order has been completed or the business relationship has ended and any applicable statutory retention periods have expired. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

8. Handling of Applicant Data

We offer you the opportunity to apply for positions with us, for example by email, post or via an online application form. The following information explains the scope, purpose and use of the personal data collected from you as part of the application process. We assure you that your data will be collected, processed and used in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated as strictly confidential.

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection
If you submit an application to us, we process the associated personal data, such as contact and communication details, application documents and notes made during job interviews, insofar as this is necessary to make a decision regarding the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general steps prior to entering into a contract) and, where you have given your consent, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be disclosed to persons involved in processing your application.
If your application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

Data Retention Period
If we are unable to offer you a position, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted for up to six months after the application process has ended, based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The data will subsequently be deleted and any physical application documents destroyed. The retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will still be required after the six-month period has expired, for example due to a threatened or pending legal dispute, the data will only be deleted once the purpose for the extended retention no longer applies.
Data may also be retained for a longer period if you have given corresponding consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

9. Our Social Media Presence

This Privacy Policy Applies to the Following Social Media Profiles

Data Processing by Social Networks
We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The individual social networks we use are listed below.
Social networks such as Facebook, X and others can generally analyse your user behaviour extensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content, such as Like buttons or advertising banners. When you visit our social media profiles, numerous data processing operations relevant to data protection are triggered. In particular:
If you are logged into your social media account and visit one of our social media profiles, the operator of the social media platform may associate this visit with your user account. Under certain circumstances, your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media platform. In such cases, this data may be collected, for example, via cookies stored on your terminal device or by recording your IP address.
Using the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media platforms can create user profiles containing your preferences and interests. This enables interest-based advertising to be displayed to you both within and outside the respective social media platform. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based advertising may be displayed on all devices on which you are or have been logged in.
Please also note that we are unable to track all processing operations carried out on social media platforms. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the respective social media platforms. Details can be found in the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media platforms.

Legal Basis
Our social media profiles are intended to ensure the broadest possible presence on the internet. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The analytics processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal grounds, which must be specified by the operators of the respective social networks, for example consent within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Data Controller and Exercising Your Rights
When you visit one of our social media profiles, such as Facebook, we and the operator of the social media platform are jointly responsible for the data processing operations triggered by your visit. You may generally exercise your rights, including access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and the right to lodge a complaint, both against us and against the operator of the respective social media platform, such as Facebook.
Please note that despite our joint responsibility with the operators of the social media platforms, we do not have full influence over the data processing operations carried out by these platforms. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policies of the respective provider.

Storage Period
Data collected directly by us via our social media profiles will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions, particularly retention periods, remain unaffected.
We have no influence over how long your data is stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the respective social networks directly or refer to their privacy policies.

Your Rights
You have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about the origin, recipients and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to object, the right to data portability and the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. Furthermore, you may request the rectification, blocking or erasure of your personal data and, under certain circumstances, restriction of its processing.
