Under no circumstances will the collected data be passed on to third parties without your knowledge or a valid lawful reason. The following declaration provides you with an overview of what data Analytik Jena GmbH collects during your visit to its website and for what purpose. It also explains how the data is used and what associated protective measures are taken on a technical and organizational level.

I.    Controller/Service Provider

The controller as defined by the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDGG-new), and the legal data protection regulations of the state of Thuringia (ThürDSG), as well as the service provider as defined by the German Telemedia Act (TMG) are:

III.    General Information About Data Processing

1.    Scope of the Processing of Personal Data

We collect and use the personal data of our users in principle only as required to host a functional website featuring our content and services. We collect and use the personal data of our users only after they have granted their consent. An exception applies in such cases in which it is not possible to obtain prior consent, and legal provisions require the processing of data.

2.    Legal Basis for Processing

If we obtain your consent for subjecting your data to processing operations, Art. 6, Para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis.
For the processing of personal data as required to fulfill a contract to which you are a contractual party, Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are required to conduct precontractual measures.
If the processing of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation to which Analytik Jena GmbH is subject, Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is required to preserve a legitimate interest of our Company or a third party and the interests and fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, then Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3.    Data Deletion/Storage Period

Your personal data is deleted or restricted as soon as the purpose of storage no longer holds. In addition, data may be stored if it has been provided by the European or national legislator in EU legal regulations, laws, or other provisions applicable to Analytik Jena GmbH. Data may also be restricted or deleted if a storage deadline stipulated by the specified standards has expired unless further storage of the data is required for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

4.    Data transfer outside the EU

The GDPR ensures an equally high level of data protection within the European Union. When selecting our service providers, we therefore rely on European partners wherever possible when your personal data is to be processed. Only in exceptional cases will we have data processed outside the European Union in the context of using third-party services. We will only allow your data to be processed in a third country if the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are fulfilled. This means that the processing of your data may then only take place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognized determination by the EU Commission of a level of data protection corresponding to the EU or the observance of officially recognized special contractual obligations, the so-called "standard data protection clauses".

Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. We use IP anonymisation on our website. Your IP address is anonymized from the beginning - and then passed on to Google Analytics. Therefore Google does not process your IP address at any time and cannot process it completely in exceptional cases. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is therefore not merged with other data from Google. Google may transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.

• location of the access,
• name and URL of the viewed page(s) or file(s),
• referrer URL (the previously visited page),
• host name of the accessing computer (IP address),
• date and time of the server request,
• page views during the page visit,
• duration of the page visit,
• conversions (e.g., making contact, partner searches, product inquiries, etc.), and
• searches on the website.

If users are signed into a Google account, we use demographic features derived from their settings, if necessary. Users can change their demographic data in the advertising settings of their Google account.

3.    Legal Basis for Data Processing

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.

4.    Purpose of Data Processing

We use Google Analytics in order to routinely analyze and improve the use of our website. Google will use the information exclusively on our behalf in order to evaluate your use of the website, in order to compile reports about website activities, and to render other services related to website and internet use for the website operator. The compiled statistics enable us to improve our services and design them to be more interesting for you as a user. 
An additional purpose is our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Technical information (such as the browser and your system, the terminal device used and the mail client), your IP address and the time of retrieval are collected. It is also collected whether the e-mails were delivered successfully, whether and when the newsletters were opened and which links were clicked.

The tracking pixels, as well as the links contained in the newsletters, are linked to the ID assigned to you by the above cookie, which is assigned to your e-mail address and allows you to determine your reading behavior from the retrieval locations that can be determined by means of the IP address (personal tracking). 
The information is used to technically improve the service based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on the call locations or access times.

XIV. Integration of YouTube Videos

We have integrated YouTube videos into our online offering which are stored on www.youtube.com and can be played directly from our website. All of these videos are embedded in “privacy-enhanced mode,” meaning no data about you as a user is transmitted to YouTube if you do not play any videos. The data listed in Para. 2 is transferred only if you play the videos. We have no influence over this data transfer.
When the website is visited, YouTube receives the information that you have viewed the corresponding sub-page of our website. This takes place regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account through which you are logged in, or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data is directly attributed to your account. If you do not want your data to be attributed to your YouTube profile, you must log out before clicking the play button. YouTube stores your data as a usage profile, which it uses for purposes of advertising, market research, and/or to design its website to be more accessible. Such an analysis takes place in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to display advertising appropriate to users’ accessibility needs and to inform other users of the social network about users’ activities on our website. You have a right to object to the creation of this user profile; you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.
You can find more information about the purpose and scope of the data collection and its processing by YouTube in its privacy policy. There you can also find more information about your rights and privacy settings options: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy . Google processes your personal data at locations that include the United States.

XV. Social Media Presence

We maintain fan pages on various social media networks and platforms with the objective of communicating with the customers, interested potential customers, and users active there and to inform them of our services.

We would like to point out that your personal data may be processed outside the European Union in this context, meaning that risks may arise for you in this area (such as when exercising your rights under European/German law).

The data of users is typically processed for market research and advertising purposes. This makes it possible, for example, to create a usage profile based on user behavior and the interests derived from it. These usage profiles can, in turn, be used for purposes such as deploying advertisements inside and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of the user. For these purposes, cookies in which the user behavior and interests of the user are recorded are typically stored on users’ computers. In addition, data can also be stored in the usage profiles independently from the devices used by the users (particularly if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged into them).

The processing of the personal data of users takes place on the basis of our legitimate interests in effectively informing users and communicating with users in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the users are asked for consent to the data processing by the respective providers (i.e. by signaling consent by checking a box or clicking a button), the legal basis of the processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a and Art. 7 GDPR.

Further information on the processing of your personal data and on your options for objection can be found through the link of the respective provider listed below. The assertion of rights to information and other rights of data subjects can also take place by contacting the providers, since only they have direct access to users’ data and possess corresponding information. As a matter of course, we are available for questions and will assist you if you need help. Provider:

2. (2) the processing is done using automation.

In exercising this right, you have the right in turn to cause the personal data concerning you to be directly transmitted from one controller to another controller as long as this is technically feasible. This must not impair the freedoms or rights of other persons.
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data that is required to fulfill a responsibility that is in the public interest or in the exercise of public authority that has been vested in the controller.

7.    Right to Opt Out

8.    Right to Withdrawal of Data Privacy Consent

9.    Automated Decision in an Individual Case, Including Profiling

You have the right not to be subjected to a decision exclusively based on automated processing – including profiling – that has legal repercussions for you or significantly harms you in a similar manner. This does not apply if the decision

1. (1) is required for the conclusion or fulfillment of an agreement between you and the controller,
2. (2) is permitted under legal provisions of the European Union or member states that apply to the controller and these legal provisions include appropriate measures to preserve your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, or
3. (3) is made with your express consent.

However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data according to Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR, as long as Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a or g GDPR does not apply and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests.
Regarding the exceptional cases cited in (1) and (3), the controller takes appropriate measures to preserve your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, including at least the right to cause the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to present one’s own point of view, and to contest the decision.

11.    Right to File a Complaint with a Regulatory Authority

Regardless of any other administrative or legal remedy, you have the right to file a complaint with a regulatory authority, particularly in the member state of your place of residence, your place of employment, or the place of the alleged violation, if you believe that the processing of the personal data concerning you violates the GDPR. 
The regulatory authority to which the complaint is submitted informs the complainant about the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a legal remedy according to Art. 78 GDPR.
The responsible regulatory authority (state data privacy authority) is:

XVII. Duties of Information in the Collection of Personal Data in the Job Application Procedure

Analytik Jena attaches a great deal of importance to the protection of your personal data. In the following, we provide information on the collection, processing, and usage of your data in the context of online applications.

1. Legal Basis and Purpose of Data Processing

We process your personal data in consideration of the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-new), and all other relevant laws (e.g. the German Works Constitution Act [BetrVG], the German Working Hours Act [ArbZG], etc.). 
First and foremost, the collection and processing of data serves the purpose of the application procedure. The primary legal basis for this is Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 Para. 1 BDSG-new.
If required, we also process your data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR in order to protect the legitimate interests of ourselves or of third parties (e.g. authorities). This applies particularly in the case of the investigation of criminal acts (legal basis: Section 26 Para. 1 sentence 2 BDSG) or within the Group for purposes of Group management, internal communications, and other administrative purposes.
In addition, we would like to point out that the transmitted data may potentially be used to prepare statistics on the online application process. The evaluation of the corresponding data takes place exclusively for our own purposes, and always in anonymized form. 
If we would like to process your personal data for a purpose other than those listed above, we will inform you of this in advance.

2. Which Data Categories Do We Use, and Where Do They Come From?

In particular, the categories of personal data processed include

• your master data (such as first name, last name, name affixes, nationality),
• contact data (e.g. your private address, email address, [mobile] phone number),
• your resumé, training, education
• eventually special categories of personal data such as health data if you include these in your resumé.

Your personal data is generally collected directly from you in the context of the application process. Under specific circumstances, your personal data is also collected from other sources (particularly authorities) on the basis of statutory provisions. In addition, we may have obtained data from third parties (e.g. recruitment agencies).
If we would like to collect your data in an individual case from a source that is not directly from you, will inform you of this in advance.

3. Data Access

Inside our Company, your personal data is only received by the persons and units (e.g. HR department, employee representative body, representative body for severely disabled employees, department heads) which are responsible for the handling of the application procedure and are decision-makers on the application result.

4. Rights of Data Subjects

You can request information on the data stored about you from the address specified above. In addition, you can request the rectification or deletion of your data subject to certain requirements. You can also be entitled to a right to the restriction of the processing of your data as well as a right to the issuance of the data you have provided in a structured, common, and machine-readable format.
In such an event, please contact: jrulewicz@agor-ag.com. 
Deletion results in the termination of the application procedure, and no more information can subsequently be issued on the course of the procedure. After the establishment of an employment relationship, the rights to deletion of data or restriction of processing are restricted. 
To exercise these rights, data subjects can contact the responsible persons within the Company, the data protection officer, or the supervisory authorities.

5. Storage of Your Data

We delete your personal data as soon as it is no longer needed for the purposes specified above. 
If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data is stored for the purpose of handling the employment relationship in consideration of the applicable statutory provisions. 
If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted six months after announcement of the rejection, provided deletion does not obstruct any other legitimate interests of the persons responsible for the processing. “Other legitimate interests” in this context may include a burden of proof in proceedings under the German General Treatment Act (AGG).
If, on the basis of your application, we are of the opinion that your application could be interesting for future job openings, we will store your application information for 12 month if you explicitly consent to continued use. Even in this event, your data will not be shared with third parties at any time.

6. Data Transmission

No transmission of data outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) takes place.

7. Obligation of Data Provision

In the context of the application procedure, you must provide the personal data that is required for the establishment of the employment relationship or which we are legally obligated to collect. Without these data, we will be unable to implement an employment contract with you.

XVIII.    Security

We take technical and organizational security measures to protect your incidental or intentionally collected personal data, particularly against accidental or deliberate manipulation, loss, destruction, or against an attack by unauthorized persons. 
Our website is SSL-encrypted (https).
Our security measures are being continuously improved in line with technological developments. However, we cannot assume any liability for the security of data transmission over the internet. Email messages are not encrypted. Personal data generated from email communication is usually transmitted from your computer over an unsecured connection via the internet. Information that you send by unencrypted email can be intercepted by third parties, stored, and misused. Therefore, access by third parties cannot be ruled out. Consequently, it is recommended to send confidential information exclusively by postal mail.
