a. Scope of the processing of personal data

We collect and use our users' personal data only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of our users' personal data only takes place regularly with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

b. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.
 When processing personal data that is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data required for the fulfilment of a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c 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, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

c. Data erasure and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or erased if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

a. Scope of the processing of personal data

Each time one of our Internet applications is called up, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.

The following data is collected:
1. information about the browser type and version used
2. the user's operating system
3. the IP address of the user
4. the user's internet service provider (this date is not collected directly, but the IP address (point 3) allows conclusions to be drawn about the user's internet service provider)
5. date and time of access
6. websites from which the user's system accesses our website

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This does not affect the user's IP addresses or other data that allows the data to be assigned to a user. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

b. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

c. Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. This is also our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The above-mentioned data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of our website. We also use this data to optimise and guarantee our information technology systems (e.g. attack detection).

d. Duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
If the data is stored in log files, it is deleted after 7 days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP address is deleted or anonymised so that it is no longer possible to identify the accessing client and the data is no longer personally identifiable.

e. Right to object
Insofar as we base the processing on a legitimate interest, you have the right, in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR, to object to the processing of personal data concerning you at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation by contacting Dr. Hahn GmbH & Co. KG at any time. Your right to object is explained in section XVI letter g.

a. Description and scope of data processing

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user's computer system. When a user accesses a website, a cookie may be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again.

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the accessing browser can be identified even after a page change. The following data is stored and transmitted in the cookies:

1. the cookie be_typo_user is used by TYPO3 to identify a logged-in backend user. The ID of the user is stored.

2. the cookie fe_typo_user is used by TYPO3 to identify a logged-in front-end user. This cookie is used in the context of image database use (see also VIII. Registration for the image database). The ID of the user is stored.

3. the cookie cookiesAccepted is set as soon as a visitor to the website has confirmed the cookie notice by clicking on "OK". The value 1/true is saved, which stands for the positive confirmation of the notice.

4. the cookie showedModalForm is set if the contact form was displayed to the user on the download page (https://www.dr-hahn.eu/downloads/). The cookie prevents the form from being shown to the user again on a return visit. The value 1/true, which stands for "Form already displayed", is saved.

5. ceDownloads cookie is used to limit the downloads of declarations of performance on the declaration of performance page (https://www.dr-hahn.eu/leistungserklaerungen/) to a maximum of 3 downloads per user. A value is stored that reflects the number of downloads (NaN or a number between 1 and 3).

6. the defaultlanguage cookie is set to save a user's language setting for the duration of the session.

We also use cookies on our website that enable us to analyse the surfing behaviour of users (see also XIV. Web analysis with the PIWIK Pro analysis software), provided you have consented to this. The following data may be transmitted in this way:

1. _pk_ref: This cookie stores information about the origin of the user, i.e. from which website the user came to us.

2. _pkid: This cookie stores the visitor's ID in order to recognise returning visitors.

3. _pk_ses: This is a session cookie. Session cookies are responsible for keeping the session active for 30 minutes after the last tracked action. When they expire, the visit is considered to have ended.

The user data collected in this way is pseudonymised by technical precautions. It is therefore no longer possible to assign the data to the calling user. The data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

b. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The associated storage of information or access to information already stored in the end device is carried out in accordance with Section 25 (2) TTDSG.
Insofar as we have obtained consent via consent management, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent under data protection law also includes consent to the storage of information or access to information already stored in the terminal device in accordance with Section 25 (1) TTDSG.

c. Purpose of the data processing
The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary for the browser to be recognised even after a page change. This is also our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

We need cookies for the following applications:

1. the cookie be_typo_user is used to identify a logged-in backend user by TYPO3.

2. the cookie fe_typo_user is used to identify a logged-in front-end user by TYPO3 when using the image database. (see also VIII Registration for the image database).

3. the cookie cookiesAccepted is set as soon as a visitor to the website has confirmed the cookie notice by clicking on "OK".

4. the cookie showedModalForm is set when the contact form is displayed to the user on the download page (https://www.dr-hahn.eu/downloads/). The cookie prevents the form from being displayed to the user again on a return visit.

5. ceDownloads cookie is used to limit the downloads of the declarations of performance on the declarations of performance page (https://www.dr-hahn.eu/leistungserklaerungen/) to a maximum of 3 downloads per user.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The user data collected by technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles.

Analysis cookies are used for the purpose of improving the quality of our website and its content. Through the analysis cookies, we learn how the website is used and can thus constantly optimise our offer.

1. _pk_id: This cookie stores the visitor's ID in order to recognise returning visitors.

d. Duration of storage, right of objection and cancellation and removal option
Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted by it to our website. As a user, you therefore have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website to their full extent.

Insofar as we base the processing on a legitimate interest, you have the right under Art. 21 GDPR to object to the processing of personal data concerning you at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation by contacting Dr. Hahn GmbH & Co. KG at any time. Your right to object is explained in section XVI letter g.

If you have given us your consent to set cookies that are not technically necessary, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out up to that point. You can withdraw your consent at any time by reopening the consent dialogue via ... and changing your cookie settings.

The cookies also have a different period of use and expire afterwards.

1. the cookie be_typo_user is automatically deleted one year after the cookie has been set/updated.

2. the cookie fe_typo_user is automatically deleted one year after the cookie is set/updated.

3. the cookie showedModalForm is automatically deleted one year after the cookie is set/updated.

5. the ceDownloads cookie is automatically deleted one year after the cookie is set/updated.

6. the cookie defaultlanguage is a session cookie. It is only active during the current browser session.

7. _pk_ref: This cookie is automatically deleted after 6 months.

8. _pkid: This cookie is automatically deleted after one year.

9. _pk_ses: The cookie is deleted 30 minutes after the last tracked action.

a. Description and scope of data processing

2. surname

Our consent will be obtained for the processing of the data during the registration process and reference will be made to this privacy policy. Registration takes place using the so-called double opt-in procedure. The registration process is only completed when the user confirms the registration via a confirmation link. No data is passed on to third parties in connection with data processing for the sending of e-mailings. The data is used exclusively for sending e-mails.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. The user's data will therefore be stored for as long as Dr. Hahn informs registered users by e-mail. If the user unsubscribes from this service, the user data will be deleted. Cancellation is possible at any time.

e. Right of cancellation

Any user who has registered for this e-mail service can unsubscribe at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in every e-mail sent in this context. This also makes it possible to withdraw consent to the storage of personal data collected during the registration process. The revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out up to that point.

The revocation does not affect the legality of the processing that has taken place up to that point. You can change or delete the data stored about you at any time.

b. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given consent.

c. Purpose of the data processing

The transmitted data is required for the creation and delivery of an individualised PDF document.

e. Right of cancellation

The user cannot use the service of personalised setting instructions without transmitting data, as the individualisation of the PDF document is not possible without data. Closing the generated PDF document deletes the transmitted data. A separate declaration of cancellation is not required.

a. Description and scope of data processing

Contact forms are available on the Internet pages for our products, which can be used for electronic contact. If a user makes use of this option, their e-mail address and the individually entered text are transmitted to us and stored. The following data is also stored at the time the message is sent:

1. the user's IP address
2. the date and time of registration

Alternatively, it is possible to contact us via the e-mail addresses provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.
The data will not be passed on to third parties in this context. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

b. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted via the contact form is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the e-mail contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

c. Purpose of the data processing

The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. In the case of contact by email, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data. The other personal data processed during the sending process is used to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

d. Duration of storage

The data is deleted from the e-mail inbox as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified. However, due to the principles of data access and verifiability of digital documents, all emails are digitally archived in accordance with the retention periods. In the case of contractual obligations or statutory retention obligations, deletion is only considered after the respective retention obligation has expired.

e. Right to object and right to erasure

You can object to the processing of your personal data, which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. If processing is no longer possible due to such an objection and the data is deleted, a conversation cannot be continued. To object to further processing, simply send an informal email to the same email address used by the user or to vertrieb@dr-hahn.de. All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted unless we can demonstrate an overriding interest in the storage and processing of the data or this is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

a. Description and scope of data processing

1. first name and surname
2. address
3. telephone number
4. e-mail address
5. submitted application documents (e.g. letter of application, CV, certificates, etc.)

We only use the application documents in connection with an existing application process. The data will be deleted as soon as the application process has been completed. Data will only be stored for longer if required by law or if the applicant has consented to longer storage.

b. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given consent.
The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the e-mail contact is aimed at establishing an employment relationship, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 (1) BDSG. The same applies to the collection and processing of other personal data in the application process (e.g. job interviews).

c. Purpose of the data processing

The personal application data transmitted by you or collected by us will be used exclusively for the purpose of filling vacancies within our company. As a matter of principle, your data will only be forwarded to the offices and specialist departments within our company responsible for the specific application process. Your personal application data will not be passed on to other companies without your prior express consent. Your application data will not be used for any other purpose or passed on to third parties.

d. Duration of storage

Your personal application data will generally be deleted after the application process has been completed. This does not apply if statutory provisions prevent deletion or if you have expressly consented to longer storage.
If you are accepted, your personal data will be stored in your personnel file. Further information on this will be provided as part of the recruitment process.
In the event of a rejection, personal data will be stored for the purpose of preserving evidence in the event of possible AGG complaints. In this case, the data will be deleted after 6 months from the end of the application process.

e. Right of cancellation and objection

The applicant has the option at any time to revoke any consent they have given to the processing of personal data. The revocation does not affect the legality of the processing carried out up to that point. If the user contacts us by e-mail, they can object to the processing of their personal data at any time for reasons arising from their particular situation, provided that the processing is based on a legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued and the applicant can no longer be considered for the application process.

To object to the processing of the data, an informal email to bewerbung@dr-hahn.de is sufficient.

In this case, all personal data stored in the course of making contact will be deleted, unless we can demonstrate an overriding interest in the storage and processing or this is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

a. Description and scope of data processing

We use the web analysis software PIWIK PRO to analyse visitor flows on our website. Web analysis is the collection, collation and evaluation of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis tool collects data on which website a data subject came to a website from, which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed.

The following cookies are stored on your computer:

1. _pk_ref: This cookie stores information about the origin of the user, i.e. from which website the user came to us. This cookie is automatically deleted after 6 months.

2. _pkid: This cookie stores the visitor's ID in order to recognise returning visitors. This cookie is automatically deleted after one year.

3. _pk_ses: This is a session cookie. Session cookies are responsible for keeping the session active for 30 minutes after the last tracked action. When they expire, the visit is considered to have ended.

Data collected by PIWIK is stored anonymised on a server in Europe, where the IP address is truncated. This means that it cannot be traced back to an individual user. The data is not passed on to third parties. We analyse the data collected in order to optimise our website and services based on the knowledge gained.

b. Legal basis for data processing

Web analysis of user behaviour to the extent described only takes place if you have given your consent to this. The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. This consent also includes consent to the storage of information or access to information already stored in the end device in accordance with Section 25 (1) TTDSG.

c. Purpose of the data processing

We analyse the data collected with the help of the PIWIK analysis software and use the knowledge gained to optimise our website. The analyses are of a general nature only. It is not possible to draw conclusions about the behaviour of individual users due to the anonymisation of the data collected.

d. Duration of storage

The cookies used by the PIWIK PRO analysis software are stored on the user's computer for different lengths of time. The storage time of the cookies used is as follows:

1. _pkid: This cookie is automatically deleted after one year.

The user can also actively remove the stored cookies using the "Delete" function of the browser used.

e. Cancellation option

If you have given us your consent to set technically unnecessary cookies and the associated processing of personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The revocation does not affect the legality of the processing that has taken place up to that point. You can withdraw your consent at any time by reopening the consent dialogue via ... and changing your cookie settings.

a. Description and scope of data processing

We use social media channels as a supplementary service and provide additional information there. There are links on the website that refer to these social media channels.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

d. Right to cancellation

i. Obligation to erase
You have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
(1) The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
(2) You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
(3) You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
(4) The personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.
(5) The deletion of personal data concerning you is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
(6) The personal data concerning you have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) GDPR.

ii. Information to third parties
Where the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged pursuant to Art. 17 (1) GDPR to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that you as the data subject have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.

iii. Exceptions
The right to erasure does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary,
(1) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information
(2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller
(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. H and i and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;
(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 (1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or
(5) for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

e. Right to information

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

You have the right vis-à-vis the controller to be informed about these recipients.

f. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, where

(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and
(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

g. Right to object

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR.
The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If the personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.
In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

h. Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

i. Automated decision in individual cases

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract between you and the controller
(2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
(3) with your express consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.
With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the data controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

j. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on
the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
