Each of these data transmissions triggers a cookie request to the browser of the individual concerned. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick sets a cookie in your browser.

DoubleClick uses a cookie ID that is necessary for the execution of technical processes. For instance, the cookie ID is required to display an advertisement in a browser. Additionally, the cookie ID allows DoubleClick to determine which advertisements have already been displayed in a browser to avoid duplicate ads. Moreover, DoubleClick can use the cookie ID to track conversions. Conversions are recorded, for example, when a user who has previously been shown a DoubleClick advertisement subsequently makes a purchase on the advertiser’s website using the same internet browser.

A DoubleClick cookie does not contain any personally identifiable information but may include additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier helps identify campaigns with which you have already interacted on other websites. As part of this service, Google gains access to data that it may also use to generate commission reports. For example, Google can track that you have clicked on certain links on our website.
In this context, your data is transmitted to the operator of DoubleClick, Google Ireland Limited, located at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The cookie is used, among other things, to display and deliver user-relevant advertisements, to generate reports on advertising campaigns, and to improve them. Additionally, the cookie helps avoid repeated displays of the same advertisement.
Each time you access an individual page of our website where a DoubleClick component is integrated, your browser is automatically prompted by the respective DoubleClick component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online advertising and commission billing.
There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data. If you do not grant us your consent, you can still visit our website without restriction; however, some features may not be fully available.

The legal basis for processing your personal data during the application process is § 26(1) in conjunction with (2) of the BDSG and Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

In the event of a rejection, we delete your data once a legally mandated retention period of six months has elapsed. This period begins with the sending of the rejection.

If the application process leads to an employment relationship, the data will be stored further as necessary and permissible, and subsequently transferred to the personnel file.

Your personal data may be processed on our behalf based on data processing agreements under Article 28 GDPR. In such cases, we ensure that the processing of personal data complies with the General Data Protection Regulation.

Data sharing with recipients outside the company occurs only if permitted or required by legal provisions, necessary for meeting legal obligations, or based on your consent. Data transfer to third countries is not intended.

The provision of personal data in the context of application processes is neither legally nor contractually required. Therefore, you are not obligated to provide personal data. However, providing personal data is necessary for deciding on an application or forming an employment relationship with us. You should only provide personal data that is required for initiating and carrying out the application process. If you do not provide personal data in your application, we cannot make a decision regarding the establishment of an employment relationship.

Please note that applications sent to us via email are transmitted unencrypted. This means there is a risk that unauthorized individuals could intercept and misuse this data.

 

13. Social Icons

Nature and Scope of Processing

Our website includes icons for social networks. For improved protection of your data when visiting our website, these buttons are not integrated as unrestricted plugins but as HTML links. This type of integration ensures that when you access a page of our website containing such buttons, no direct connection is established with the servers of the social network operators. Clicking such a button opens the page of the social network (e.g., Facebook) in a new browser window. There, you can interact with the plugins (if logged in beforehand).

The purpose and scope of data collection, further processing, and use of the data by the social networks, as well as your rights and settings options to protect your privacy, can be found in the privacy notices of the respective social network operators.

 

14. Presence on Social Media

To present our company as effectively as possible and to communicate with you as a user, customer, or potential client, as well as to inform you about our offered services, we maintain a presence on social networks. Using social networks involves the processing of data outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). An equivalent level of data protection as available within the EU cannot be guaranteed in all countries outside the EU. This may pose risks for you as a user if the transferred data is processed in third countries with an inadequate level of data protection.

This may hinder the enforcement of known user rights. Additionally, it is possible that your data may be processed by the provider in the third country in ways that are not in your best interest. We only transfer personal data to third countries where an adequate level of protection has been confirmed, or when the transfer of personal data can be ensured through contractual agreements or other appropriate safeguards.

In addition to the respective provider of a social network, we also collect and process personal user data on so-called “fan pages.” This notice informs you about which data we collect from you on our social media pages, how we use it, and how you can object to the use of your data. The specific purposes of data processing and data categories can be found in the respective offerings detailed below. Our activities on social media, as described below, are carried out based on a balancing of interests in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

To achieve this, cookies are used to capture user behavior and enable user profiling. A detailed list of the purposes for processing user data can be found in the privacy notices of the respective providers. By adjusting settings in your user account, you can, at least partially, limit profiling. For precise instructions, please refer to the respective provider’s privacy notices.

The relevant platforms are:

We maintain profiles on these platforms to promote products and service offerings, as well as to interact with customers, potential clients, and other users of the platforms.

Platform operators use certain data collected from users (e.g., whether a photo on a profile has been "liked" or commented on) to create aggregated usage statistics and make them available to the respective profile operators (referred to as "Insights" or "Analytics"). We, as profile operators, also receive such usage statistics. However, the information provided to us as profile operators does not allow us to identify individual users. As profile operators, we do not have access to the personal data that the platform operators process to create these usage statistics. It is solely the responsibility of the respective platform operator to determine which data is processed and how for these purposes. We, as profile operators, have no legal or practical influence on the processing by the platform operators.

For processing related to the creation of usage statistics, we are considered joint controllers with the respective platform operator as per Article 26 GDPR. Where possible, we have agreements on joint responsibility with the respective platform operators.

Limited Data Processing by Us as Profile Operators

Additionally, data processing by us as profile operators occurs only to a very limited extent:

• Processing of usernames and comments that are deleted due to a violation of netiquette. These are retained within the statute of limitations to provide evidence in case of legal disputes.
• Processing of usernames and individual messages when you contact us via messenger services.
• Processing of usernames and posts in the context of inquiries and obtaining consent for re-posting images.
• Recruiting potential candidates on career platforms.

For these purposes, we typically process only your name, message content, comment content, and publicly available profile information you have provided.

 

15. Newsletter

Subscription and Double-Opt-In Procedure

With your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter, which informs you about our latest and most interesting offers. The advertised products and services are described in the consent declaration.

We use a double-opt-in process for newsletter registration. This means that after you register, we will send an email to the specified email address asking for your confirmation that you wish to receive the newsletter. Additionally, we store the IP addresses used at the time of registration and confirmation, along with the timestamps. The purpose of this procedure is to verify your registration and, if necessary, investigate any misuse of your personal data.

The only mandatory information required for sending the newsletter is your email address. Any other data you provide, which is explicitly marked as optional, is used to address you personally. After your confirmation, we store your email address for the purpose of sending the newsletter. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Data Processing and Third-Party Services

Your personal data is processed on our behalf under data processing agreements pursuant to Article 28 GDPR. We use the email marketing software from HubSpot European Headquarters, Ground Floor, Two Dockland Central, Guild Street, Dublin 1, Ireland, for sending marketing emails. Therefore, your data is stored in a database maintained by HubSpot, which may access your data. We ensure that the processing of personal data complies with the GDPR.

Withdrawal of Consent

You can withdraw your consent to receive the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe. You can withdraw your consent by clicking on the link provided in every newsletter email, by emailing us at bct_datenschutz@bct-technology.com, or by contacting us through the information provided in our website's imprint.

Tracking and Usage Analysis

We inform you that when the newsletter is sent, we analyze your user behavior. The emails we send include web beacons or tracking pixels, which are one-pixel image files stored on our website. For these analyses, we link the data collected and the web beacons with your email address and an individual ID.

Using this data, we create a user profile to tailor the newsletter to your individual interests. We record when you read our newsletters, which links you click, and infer your personal interests from this data. We also link this data to actions you take on our website.

You can object to this tracking at any time by clicking the designated link provided in each email or by informing us via another contact method. The information is stored as long as you remain subscribed to the newsletter. After unsubscribing, the data is stored purely for statistical and anonymous purposes.

• Right to Data Portability (Art. 20 GDPR): You have the right to receive your personal data, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format or to request its transmission to another controller.

• Right to Lodge a Complaint (Art. 77 GDPR): You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, typically the one in your habitual residence, workplace, or our company’s headquarters.

Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR):
If your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right to object to its processing for reasons arising from your particular situation or if your objection concerns direct marketing. In the latter case, you have a general right to object, which we will implement without requiring a specific situation.

To exercise your rights of withdrawal or objection, please email us at bct_datenschutz@bct-technology.com.

17. Disclosure of Your Personal Data

Your personal data will be disclosed as described below.

We may disclose your data when required or permitted by law, such as in response to legal obligations, administrative orders, or court decisions. This may include providing information for law enforcement, risk prevention, or the enforcement of intellectual property rights.

If your data is shared with service providers, it is limited to the extent necessary for them to perform their tasks. These service providers are required to handle your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, particularly the GDPR. Where personal data is processed on our behalf under processing agreements pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR, we ensure compliance with data protection regulations.

We prioritize processing your data within the EU/EEA. However, in cases where service providers outside the EU/EEA are used, we ensure an adequate level of data protection comparable to EU standards before transferring your data. This is achieved through EU Standard Contractual Clauses, Binding Corporate Rules, or special agreements to which the recipient company adheres.

18. Data Security

We secure our website and your data through technical and organizational measures to protect against loss, destruction, unauthorized access, alteration, or distribution.

Your personal data is transmitted to us in encrypted form using SSL/TLS (Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security) technology. We continuously enhance our security measures to align with technological developments.

 

19. Storage Duration for Personal Data

Personal data is deleted when it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected and no legal retention periods apply. Legal retention periods determine the final storage duration of personal data. Once these periods expire, the relevant data is routinely deleted. During the retention period, the processing of data is restricted by locking the data.
