You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense or establishment of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored on your end device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser. Cookies can come from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services). Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes. Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies for measuring web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be revoked at any time. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed.

The collected data is stored until you ask us to delete it, delete the Borlabs cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected. You can find details on the data processing by Borlabs Cookie at https://de.borlabs.io/kb/welche-daten-speichert-borlabs-cookie/.

Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.

Hotjar is a tool for analyzing your user behavior on this website. With Hotjar, we can, among other things, record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks. Hotjar can also determine how long you remained with the mouse pointer at a certain spot. From this information, Hotjar creates so-called heatmaps, which can be used to determine which areas of the website are preferably viewed by website visitors. Furthermore, we can determine how long you stayed on a page and when you left it. We can also determine where you abandoned your entries in a contact form (so-called conversion funnels). In addition, Hotjar can be used to obtain direct feedback from website visitors. This function serves to improve the website operator’s web offerings. Hotjar uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g. cookies or the use of device fingerprinting). If consent has been obtained, the above-mentioned service is used exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25 TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Meta Pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel)

This website uses the visitor action pixel from Meta for conversion measurement. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road Dublin 4, Dublin, D04 X2K5, Ireland. According to Meta, however, the collected data is also transferred to the USA and to other third countries. This allows the behavior of site visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Meta advertisement. This makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of Meta advertisements for statistical and market research purposes and to optimize future advertising measures. The data collected is anonymous for us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta, so that a connection to the respective user profile on Facebook or Instagram is possible and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Meta’s data use policy (https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/). This enables Meta to display advertisements on Facebook or Instagram pages and other advertising channels. As the site operator, we cannot influence this use of the data. This service is used on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. We use the advanced matching function within the Meta Pixel. Advanced matching enables us to transmit various types of data (e.g. place of residence, federal state, postal code, hashed email addresses, names, gender, date of birth or telephone number) of our customers and prospects that we collect via our website to Meta. This allows us to tailor our advertising campaigns on Facebook and Instagram even more precisely to people who are interested in our offers. In addition, advanced matching improves the attribution of website conversions and expands Custom Audiences. Insofar as personal data is collected on our website with the help of the tool described here and forwarded to Meta, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road Dublin 4, Dublin, D04 X2K5, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR).

According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing the data protection information when using the Meta tool and for the data protection-compliant implementation of the tool on our website. Meta is responsible for the data security of Meta products. You can assert data subject rights (e.g. requests for information) regarding data processed by Facebook or Instagram directly with Meta. If you assert data subject rights with us, we are obliged to forward them to Meta. Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission.

Google Maps

This site uses the map service Google Maps. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. With the help of this service, we can integrate map material on our website. To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission. When Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Fonts for the purpose of uniform display of fonts. When you call up Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. Google Maps is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings and to make the locations indicated on our website easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If corresponding consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s end device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG.

7. Our Own Services

Handling of Applicant Data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by email, by post or via online application form). Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data takes place in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated as strictly confidential.

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection

When you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.), insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general initiation of a contract) and – if you have given consent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be passed on to persons who are involved in processing your application. If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship. As part of the application process, we may also carry out an internet search on you. This mainly includes Google search, LinkedIn and Xing. The legal basis for this type of processing is our legitimate interest in gaining an overall impression of publicly available information about you pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Data Retention Period

If we cannot offer you a job, you decline a job offer or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you submitted for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application) on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. The retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place once the purpose for further retention no longer applies. Longer retention may also take place if you have given corresponding consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

Inclusion in the Applicant Pool

If we do not make you a job offer, it may be possible to include you in our applicant pool. If you are included, all documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you in the event of suitable vacancies. Inclusion in the applicant pool takes place exclusively on the basis of your express consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Giving consent is voluntary and is unrelated to the ongoing application process. The data subject can revoke their consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, unless there are statutory retention grounds. The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent was given.
