Privacy Policy​

Basics

This privacy policy is intended to inform users of this website about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operator, sprylab technologies GmbH.
The website operator takes your data protection very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory requirements. Because new technologies and the ongoing development of this website may lead to changes to this privacy policy, we recommend that you read the privacy policy again at regular intervals. Definitions of the terms used (for example ‘personal data’ or ‘processing’) can be found in Art. 4 GDPR.
We point out that data transmission over the internet (for example when communicating by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Use of the contact details published as part of the legal-notice obligation by third parties for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby expressly prohibited. The operators of the site expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information being sent, for example through spam emails.

Reach measurement and cookies

This website and our service Purple DS (www.purplemanager.com) use cookies for
pseudonymised reach measurement, which are transmitted either from our server or from
third-party servers to the user’s browser. Cookies are small files that are stored on your
device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies increases the user-
friendliness and security of this website.

If you do not want cookies for reach measurement to be stored on your device, you can

‍Common browsers offer the setting option not to allow cookies. Please note: it is not guaranteed that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if you make corresponding settings. Our service Purple DS does not work without cookies.

‍

Collection and processing of personal data

The website operator only collects, uses and discloses your personal data if this is permitted within the legal framework or if you consent to the data being collected. Personal data is any information that serves to identify you and that can be traced back to you, for example your name, your email address and telephone number.
You can also visit this website without providing personal information. To improve our online offering, however, we store your access data (without personal reference) when you visit this website. This access data includes, for example, the file you have requested or the name of your internet provider. Through the anonymisation of the data, no conclusions about your person are possible.

‍

Handling of contact data

If you contact us as the website operator through the contact options offered, your information will be stored so that it can be accessed to process and respond to your enquiry. Without your consent, this data will not be passed on to third parties.

Handling of comments and posts

If you leave a post or comment on this website, your IP address will be stored. This takes place on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR and serves the security of us as the website operator: because if your comment violates applicable law, we can be held liable for it, which is why we have an interest in the identity of the comment or post author.

Google Analytics

Based on our legitimate interests in optimising and analysing our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, this website uses the service ‘Google Analytics’, which is offered by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). The service (Google Analytics) uses ‘cookies’, text files that are stored on your device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google LLC complies with European data protection law and is certified under the Privacy
Shield agreement: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

IP anonymisation is active on this website. The IP address of users is shortened within member states of the EU and the European Economic Area and in other signatory states of the agreement. Only in exceptional cases is the IP address first transmitted in full to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Through this shortening, the personal reference of your IP address is removed. The IP address transmitted by the browser of the user is not combined with other data stored by Google.
‍

Within the framework of the data processing agreement that we as website operator have concluded with Google LLC, Google uses the information collected to produce an evaluation of website use and website activity and to provide services related to internet use. The data collected by Google on our behalf is used to evaluate the use of our online offering by individual users, for example to create reports on website activity, in order to improve our online offering.
‍

You have the option of preventing the storage of cookies on your device by making appropriate settings in your browser. It is not guaranteed that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if your browser does not allow cookies.
‍

Furthermore, you can use a browser plugin to prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to Google LLC and used by Google LLC. The following link will take you to the corresponding plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

Information for applicants

We process personal data about you for the purpose of your application for an employment relationship, insofar as this is necessary for the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship with us. The legal basis is § 26(1) in conjunction with (8) sentence 2 BDSG (German Federal Data Protection Act). We may also process personal data about you insofar as this is necessary to defend ourselves against asserted legal claims from the application process. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; the legitimate interest is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Act on Equal Treatment (AGG). If an employment relationship arises between you and us, we may, in accordance with § 26(1) BDSG, further process the personal data already received from you for the purposes of the employment relationship, if this is necessary for the implementation or termination of the employment relationship or for the exercise or fulfilment of the rights and duties of the employees' representation arising from a law or a collective agreement, a works or service agreement (collective agreement).

We process data that is related to your application. This can be general data about your person (such as name, address and contact details), information about your professional qualifications and school education or information about further professional training, or other information that you provide to us in connection with your application. In addition, we may process publicly available, career-related information about you, for example a profile on professional social media networks.

We store your personal data for as long as is necessary for the decision on your application. If an employment relationship between you and us does not come about, we may also continue to store data insofar as this is necessary to defend against possible legal claims. The application documents are deleted two months after the rejection decision has been communicated, unless longer storage is necessary due to legal disputes.

The provision of personal data is neither required by law nor by contract, nor are you obliged to provide the personal data. However, the provision of personal data is necessary for concluding a contract for an employment relationship with us. This means that if you do not provide us with personal data in an application, we will not enter into an employment relationship with you.
