Privacy Policy

The processing of personal data—such as a data subject’s name, address, email address, or phone number—is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to us (DSAnpUG-EU / BDSG). Through this Privacy Policy, we would like to inform you about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we process. Furthermore, this Privacy Policy explains the rights to which you are entitled.

In general, you are not required to provide personal data to use our website. However, in certain cases, we may need your personal data in order to provide our services—for example, when sending you informational materials, responding to individual inquiries, or processing your registration for our online services. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

We have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible for the personal data processed through this website.

The data controller within the meaning of the GDPR and the DSAnpUG-EU / BDSG and other data protection regulations is:

Dittler GmbH
Rainstraße 15
75334 Straubenhardt
Germany

Phone: 07082 – 41092-0
Email: info@dittler-gmbh.de

To the extent that we obtain the data subject’s consent for the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. To the extent that the processing of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights, and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not override the aforementioned interest, then Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Our social media buttons only establish a direct connection between the social networks and users when the user actively clicks on one of these buttons. If the user is logged in to one of the social networks, an information window will appear when using the social media buttons for Facebook, Twitter, Xing, WhatsApp, or Google+, allowing the user to edit the text before submitting it.

We process and store personal data only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or to the extent provided for by European legislators (directives and regulations) or other legislators in laws or regulations to which we are subject.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a retention period prescribed by European directives and regulations or by another competent legislative body expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

You may at any time request, free of charge and without providing a reason, information about the data we have stored about you. You may at any time request that we block, correct, or delete the data we have collected about you, and you may object to the collection and storage of anonymized or pseudonymized data for the purpose of optimizing our website.

You may also revoke the consent you have given us for the collection and use of your data at any time without providing a reason; the data processing remains lawful until the time of revocation. The revocation must be addressed to the data controller using the contact information provided above.

Pursuant to Article 77 of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (for example, the State Data Protection Commissioner of Lower Saxony) if you believe that your personal data is being processed unlawfully.

We collect and process applicants’ personal data for the purpose of handling the application process. This processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case when an applicant submits the relevant application documents electronically—for example, via email—to the data controller. If we enter into an employment contract with an applicant, the submitted data will be stored for the purpose of managing the employment relationship in accordance with applicable laws. If we do not enter into an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the data controller preclude such deletion. Another legitimate interest in this context is, for example, the burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

If you have any further questions regarding the collection, processing, or use of your personal data, please contact us. The same applies to requests for information, restriction of processing, erasure, and correction of your personal data, as well as to the withdrawal of consent you have provided.
