Data protection

1. Introduction

With the following information, we would like to give you, as the ‘data subject’, an overview of how we process your personal data and your rights under data protection laws. It is generally possible to use our website without entering any personal data. However, if you wish to use specific services offered by our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.

The processing of personal data, such as your name, address or email address, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to CADS GmbH. With this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process.

As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or post.

4. Definitions

The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use, among other things, the following terms in this data protection declaration:

4.1 Personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more special features that express the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

4.2 Data subject

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller (our company).

4.3 Processing

Processing means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination; the restriction, deletion or destruction.

4.4 Restriction of processing

Rerestricted processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.

4.5 Profiling

Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data consisting in the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to the work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movement of that natural person.

4.6 Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not addressed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

4.7 Processor

Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

4.8 Receiver

Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which personal data is disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigation mandate under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as recipients.

4.9 Third

A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

4.10 Consent

Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.

5. Legal basis of processing

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (in conjunction with § 15 para. 3 TMG) serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would then have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR.

Processing operations could ultimately be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

6. Transmission of data to third parties

There is no transfer of your personal data to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

  1. you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR,
  2. the disclosure is permissible in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data,
  3. in the event that there is a legal obligation for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, as well as
  4. this is legally permissible and is necessary according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR for the processing of contractual relationships with you.

In order to protect your data and, if necessary, to enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA), we have concluded agreements on order processing based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission.

6.1 Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries

We use, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that in these countries no level of data protection comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

7. Technology

7.1 SSL/TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact requests that you send to us as the operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that there is a “https://” instead of a “http://” in the address bar of the browser and the lock symbol in your browser line.

We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.

7.2 Data collection when visiting the website

When using our website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called “server log files”). Our website collects a series of general data and information each time you or an automated system access a page. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The

  1. browser types and versions used,
  2. the operating system used by the accessing system,
  3. the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers),
  4. the sub-websites, which are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
  5. the date and time of access to the website,
  6. a shortened Internet Protocol address (anonymized IP address),
  7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system.

We do not draw any conclusions about your person when using this general data and information. Rather, this information is required in order to

  1. to deliver the contents of our website correctly,
  2. to optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it,
  3. to ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and
  4. to provide law enforcement agencies with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

We therefore evaluate this collected data and information statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes listed above for data collection.

7.3 MyFonts Counter

On this website, we use MyFonts Counter, a web analytics service provided by MyFonts Inc., 500 Unicorn Park Drive, Woburn, MA 01801, USA. Due to the licence terms, page view tracking is carried out by counting the number of visits to the website for statistical purposes and transmitting this information to MyFonts. MyFonts only collects anonymised data. The data may be transmitted by activating JavaScript code in your browser. Further information on MyFonts Counter can be found in the MyFonts privacy policy at http://www.myfonts.com/info/terms-and-conditions/#Privacy

Possibility of objection

To prevent the execution of Java Script code from MyFonts altogether, you can install a Java Script blocker (z.B. www.noscript.net).

8. Cookies

8.1 General information about Cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our site.

In the cookie, information is stored that results in connection with the specific device used. However, this does not mean that we will immediately become aware of your identity.

On the one hand, the use of cookies serves to make the use of our offer more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after leaving our site.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your device for a certain specified period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it will automatically be recognized that you have already been with us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you. These cookies allow us to automatically recognize that you have already been with us when you visit our site again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.

8.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies

The data processed by cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are therefore necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

For all other cookies, you have given your consent via our opt-in cookie banner within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

9. Contents of our website

9.1 Contact / Contact form

When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email), personal data is collected. The data collected in the case of a contact form can be seen in the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your enquiry or for establishing contact and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your enquiry has been processed, which is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been finally clarified and provided that there are no legal obligations to retain data.

9.2 Comment function Blog

We offer users the opportunity to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog located on our website. A blog is a portal maintained on a website, usually publicly accessible, where one or more people, known as bloggers or web bloggers, can post articles or write down their thoughts in so-called blog posts. The blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.

If you leave a comment on the blog published on this website, the time of the comment entry and the chosen user name (pseudonym) will be stored and published in addition to your comments. Furthermore, the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP) will also be logged. This IP address is stored for security reasons and in case you violate the rights of third parties or post illegal content in a comment you have submitted. The storage of this personal data is therefore in our own interest so that we can exculpate ourselves in the event of a legal violation. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. This collected personal data will not be passed on to third parties unless such disclosure is required by law or serves our legal defence.

10. Our activities on social networks

We have our own pages on social networks so that we can communicate with you and inform you about our services. When you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible with the provider of the respective social media platform for the processing operations triggered by this, which concern personal data, within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR.

We are not the original provider of these sites, but merely use them within the scope of the options offered to us by the respective providers.
As a precautionary measure, we therefore point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Using these sites may therefore pose data protection risks for you, as it may be more difficult to exercise your rights, e.g. to information, deletion, objection, etc., and processing on social networks is often carried out directly for advertising purposes or to analyse user behaviour by the providers, without us being able to influence this. If usage profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or your usage behaviour is directly assigned to your own member profile on social networks (if you are logged in here).

The processing of personal data described above is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in communicating with you in a modern manner and informing you about our services. If you as a user are required to give your consent to data processing by the respective providers, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR.

As we do not have access to the providers’ databases, we would like to point out that it is best to exercise your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider. Further information on the processing of your data in social networks and the possibility of exercising your right of objection or revocation (so-called opt-out) is listed below for each social network provider we use:

11. Web analytics

11.1 Google Analytics

On our websites we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Ireland Limited (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter referred to as “Google”). In this context, pseudonymised user profiles are created and cookies (see point “Cookies”) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website such as

  1. Browser-Typ/-Version,
  2. Operating system used,
  3. Referrer URL (the previously visited page),
  4. Host name of the accessing computer (IP address),
  5. Time of the server request,

re transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities and to provide other services related to the use of the website and the Internet for the purposes of market research and needs-based design of these Internet pages. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of third parties. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymized so that an assignment is not possible (IP masking).

You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting the browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case not all functions of this website can be used to their full extent.

These processing operations take place exclusively if express consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

Alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent the collection by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link: Deactivate Google Analytics. An opt-out cookie is set which prevents the future collection of your data when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.

Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found in the Google Analytics Help (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de).

12. Plugins and other services

12.1 Google reCAPTCHA

On this website we also use the reCAPTCHA function of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). This function is primarily used to distinguish whether an input is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing. The service also includes sending the IP address and, if applicable, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google.

These processing operations take place exclusively if express consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Further information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/

12.2 Vimeo (Videos)

On our website plugins of the video portal Vimeo of Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA are integrated. When you visit a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to vimeo’s servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Vimeo directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Vimeo receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Vimeo account or are not currently logged in to Vimeo. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Vimeo server in the USA and stored there.

If you are logged in to Vimeo, Vimeo can directly associate your visit to our website with your Vimeo account. If you interact with the plugins (such as pressing the start button of a video), this information is also transmitted directly to a Vimeo server and stored there.

The described data processing operations are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of Vimeo’s legitimate interest in market research and the needs-based design of the service.

If you do not want Vimeo to associate the data collected via our website directly with your Vimeo account, you must log out of Vimeo before visiting our website.

the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Vimeo as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for the protection of your privacy can be found in Vimeo’s privacy policy: vimeo.com/privacy

For videos from Vimeo that are integrated on our site, the tracking tool Google Analytics is automatically integrated. This is Vimeo’s own tracking to which we have no access and which cannot be influenced by our site. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies” for tracking, which are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

These processing operations take place exclusively if express consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

12.3 YouTube (Videos)

We have integrated components of YouTube on this website. YouTube is an Internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and television programs, as well as music videos, trailers or videos made by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal.

operator of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

By each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by us and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the Internet browser on your IT system is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. More information about YouTube can be found at www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google receive information about which specific subpage of our website you are visiting.

If the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes which specific subpage of our website you are visiting by calling up a subpage that contains a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and associated with your YouTube account.

YouTube and Google will always receive information via the YouTube component that you have visited our website if you are logged in to YouTube at the same time as accessing our website; this happens regardless of whether you click on a YouTube video or not. If you do not want such a transmission of this information to YouTube and Google, you can prevent the transmission by logging out of your YouTube account before calling up our website.

These processing operations take place exclusively if express consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

The data protection provisions published by YouTube, which can be accessed under www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

13. Data protection for applications and in the application process 

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the controller electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If we agree on an employment contract with you as an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. The legal basis for data processing is the fulfilment of contractual obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) in conjunction with §26 BDSG. The processing of data takes place for the preparation of an employment contract Recipients of your information are employees of human resources for contact with you and contractual cooperation (including the fulfillment of pre-contractual measures) as well as managers involved in the decision-making process. Your data may be passed on to service providers who work for us as processors, e.g. support or maintenance of EDP or IT applications and data destruction. All service providers are contractually bound and, in particular, obliged to treat your data confidentially. A transfer of data to recipients outside our company takes place only in compliance with the applicable regulations on data protection. If we do not conclude an employment contract with you as an applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests of the controller. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). Your data will only be processed within the European Union and countries within the European Economic Area (EEA). As part of the application process, you must provide the personal data that is necessary for the initiation, execution and termination of the contractual relationship and for the fulfilment of the associated contractual obligations or that we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will generally not be able to adequately consider you in the decision-making process to fill vacancies.

14. Processing of customer and supplier data

14.1 Type and purpose of processing

For the processing of customer orders and in the context of procurement processes, we process personal data of our customers and suppliers as well as the individual contact persons at our customers/suppliers. We store the data in our ERP system and use it in all processes of service fulfillment or procurement. Furthermore, we use the data to actively address the customer relationship and to support suppliers, including an internal supplier evaluation.

14.2 Legal basis

To fulfil contractual obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) The processing of data takes place for the execution of our contract Due to legal requirements (Art. 6 para. 1 letter c GDPR) We are subject to various legal obligations that entail data processing. These include, for example:

  • tax laws and statutory accounting
  • the fulfillment of requests and requirements of supervisory or law enforcement authorities
  • the fulfilment of tax control and reporting obligations

In addition, the disclosure of personal data may become necessary within the framework of official/judicial measures for the purposes of gathering evidence, prosecution or enforcement of civil claims. As part of the balancing of interests (Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR) If necessary, we process your data beyond the actual fulfilment of the contract to safeguard the legitimate interests of us or third parties. Examples of such cases are:

  • processing in the CRM system for actively addressing customers
  • Assestment of suppliers
  • Inclusion of legal claims and defence in legal disputes

A transfer of data to recipients outside our company takes place only in compliance with the applicable regulations on data protection. Recipients of personal data may be, for example:

  • Public bodies and institutions (e.g. financial or law enforcement authorities) in the event of a legal or official obligation
  • credit and financial service provider (processing of payment transactions) 
  • tax consultant or economic and income tax and tax auditor (statutory audit mandate) 

14.4 Storage duration

We process and store your personal data as long as this is necessary for the fulfilment of our contractual and legal obligations. If the data is no longer required for the fulfilment of contractual or legal obligations, it will be deleted regularly. Exceptions arise,

  • insofar as statutory retention obligations are to be fulfilled, e.g. the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the Tax Code (AO), are required. The storage or documentation periods specified there are usually six to ten years;
  • for the preservation of evidence within the framework of the statutory statute of limitations. According to §§ 195 ff of the German Civil Code (BGB), these limitation periods can be up to 30 years, whereby the regular limitation period is 3 years.
  • if necessary other.

As soon as the data processing is carried out in the legitimate interest of us or a third party, the personal data will be deleted as soon as this interest no longer exists. The exceptions mentioned apply.

14.5 Third country transfer

Your data will only be processed within the European Union and states within the European Economic Area (EEA).

14.6 Revocation of consent

You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balancing of interests); this also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Article 4 No. 4 GDPR. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

14.7 Provision required or required

As part of the contractual relationship, you must provide the personal data that is necessary for the recording, execution and termination of the contractual relationship and for the fulfilment of the associated contractual obligations or that we are legally obliged to collect.
