If we engage subcontractors to provide our services, we take relevant legal precautions and apply the requisite technical and organizational measures to ensure the protection of personal data in accordance with the applicable statutory provisions.
 

Transmission of data to a third country or an international organization

Those countries in which the GDPR is not directly applicable legislation are regarded as third countries. Fundamentally, this includes all countries outside of the EU or the European Economic Area.

Please note that transmission of data to a third country may occur when using our website if you select offered services using the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website. If you do not select a service, no data is transmitted to a third country.

This takes into account the adequacy decision of the EU Commission. This states that this refers to a secure third country or a secure international organisation that provides an appropriate level of security.

The following applies for the transmission of data to the USA: An adequacy decision from the EU Commission (Data Privacy Framework) has been in existence since July 2023, which declares the USA to be a third country with a data privacy level comparable to that of the EU. .The adequacy decision can now be used as the basis for data transmission to certified organizations in the USA.

The US services used have certification within the framework of the Data Privacy Framework. Details are available for the individual services.

This means that we only store your data for as long as required to fulfil the purposes specified above or for the diverse retention periods required by law. Should the purpose cease to apply, or after expiry of the relevant periods, your data is blocked or deleted as a matter of course, in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Personal data is processed within the framework of establishing contact by electronic means. The information you provide is stored exclusively for the purposes of processing the request and for potential follow-up questions.

We are happy to inform you of the legal basis for this:

• Processing to fulfil our services and execute contractual measures

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR

We hereby advise you that it is possible for e-mails to be read or changed in an unauthorised and undetected manner when using this transmission channel.

Protection for your personal data

We adopt state-of-the-art contractual, technical and organizational security measures to ensure compliance with data protection legislation and thereby to protect processed data against incidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, or against access by unauthorized persons.

These security measures include the encrypted transfer of data between your browser and our server. 256-bit SSL (AES 256) encryption technology is used for this.

Your personal data is protected within the framework of the following items (excerpt):

a) Guarantee of confidentiality for your personal data

We have adopted various measures for entry, admission and access control to guarantee the confidentiality of your personal data stored with us.

b) Guarantee of integrity for your personal data

We have adopted various measures for forwarding and input control to guarantee the integrity of your personal data stored with us.

c) Guarantee of availability for your personal data

We have adopted various measures for order and availability control to guarantee the availability of your personal data stored with us.

The security measures in use are continually being improved in accordance with technological developments. Despite these precautionary measures, the insecure nature of the Internet means that we are unable to guarantee the security of your data transfer to our website. Consequently, you perform any type of data transfer at your own risk.
 

Protection of minors

Persons not yet 16 years of age may only provide us with personal information with the express permission of parents/legal guardians. Such data are processed in accordance with these data protection guidelines.
 

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. The data:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name for the accessing computer
• Time of server query
• IP address

These data are not merged with other sources of data.

The basis for data processing is, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR our legitimate interest.
 

Online applications using a form

We provide a careers area on our website for applicants, where we announce job vacancies. It is possible to use an online form to apply for these positions. Applicants are forwarded to a subpage to do this. Admission to the application procedure requires applicants to use the form to provide us with all personal data required for sound and well-informed evaluation and selection.

This required information includes general personal information (name, address, contact details by phone or by electronic means) and service-specific proof of the qualifications required for a position. Health-related information may also be required. Particular attention must be paid to this with regard to labour and social legislation, in the interest of social protection for the application.

When you submit the form, state-of-the-art encryption will be applied to your data that is transmitted to us. This data will be used exclusively for application processing purposes.

The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, whereby running through the application procedure represents the initiation of a contract of employment. Insofar as the application procedure includes querying specific categories of personal data for the purposes of Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR (e.g. health data, such as information about the level of severe disability) for applicants, processing takes place in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b) GDPR, meaning that we thereby exercise the rights arising from labour law and the right to social security and social protection and can comply with our obligations.

On this basis, or alternatively, processing of specific data categories may also be based on Art. 9 para. 1 lit. h) GDPR, if this takes place for purposes of health care or occupational healthcare, for the evaluation of the applicant’s ability to work, for medical diagnosis, care or treatment in the health or social sector, or for the administration of systems and services in the health or social sector.

Should the application not be selected in the course of the evaluation described above, or should an applicant withdraw their application prematurely, their data provided will be erased within four months from the date of a corresponding notification. This period is determined on the basis of our legitimate interest in answering any follow-up questions regarding the application and to comply with any reporting requirements arising from the regulations on equality of treatment for applicants.

You will only be included in our pool of applicants to fill future positions if you grant your consent.

Should an application be successful, the data provided will be processed further on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR for the purposes of establishing the employment relationship.
 

Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored locally in the cache of your Internet browser. Cookies enables recognition of the Internet browser, for example. The files are used to assist the browser to navigate through the website and to allow use of the full scope of all functions.
 

Cookie Consent Tool

In order to obtain effective user consent for cookies requiring such consent and cookie-based applications, we use a “Cookie Consent Tool”.

This website uses the Cookie Consent Tool from websedit AG – Internetagentur, Seestr. 35, 88214 Ravensburg.

When using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the corresponding user grants the relevant consent by ticking boxes. This ensures that cookies of that type are only loaded on the corresponding user terminal if consent is granted.

The tool sets technically required cookies to save your cookie preferences. This categorically excludes the processing of personal user data.

Should personal data (such as the IP address) be processed for the purposes of saving, assigning, or logging cookie settings, this takes place in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies, fully compliant with legislation, and consequently in a legally-compliant design of our web presence.

Moreover, a further legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR As a responsible body, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of cookies that are not technically required dependent on the relevant user consent.

You can find more information about the operator and the configuration options for the Cookie Consent Tool located in the corresponding user interface on our website.

Supportnet registration

On our website, we offer access to our intranet via Supportnet. Only partners/employees can register for this. Registration is checked and then approved or denied.

Friendly-Captcha (bot/spam protection)

Our website uses the service “Friendly Captcha”. This service is offered by Friendly Captcha GmbH, Am Anger 3-5, 82237 Wörthsee, Germany.

Friendly Captcha is a data protection friendly application, used to make navigating our website through automated programs and scripts (so called “bots”) harder.

For this purpose, we have integrated a code by Friendly Captcha for contact forms, so that website visitors’ end devices can establish a connection to the Friendly Captcha servers in order to receive a calculation task from Friendly Captcha. The end device then uses certain system resources to solve the calculation task and sends the result back to our web server. The server then contacts the server of Friendly Captcha through an interface and receives notice, whether the task was completed successfully. Depending on the result, we are able to apply safety rules to requests made to our website and, for example, keep processing them or deny them.

Data acquired during this process is only used to grant the above described protection from spam and bots. Friendly Captcha does not create or read cookies on a visitor’s end device. IP addresses are only saved in hashed form, meaning they are one-way encrypted. Neither us nor Friendly Captcha can infer an individual’s identity from them.

Legal basis for the procedure is our legitimate interest to protect our website from access by bots, as well as the protection from spam and attacks like mass requests. Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Information about the processing of employee data for notifications in the whistleblower system in accordance with Art. 13 GDPR

In accordance with whistleblower protection legislation (HinSchG), we, motan holding gmbh, are obliged to establish and maintain an internal reporting office pursuant to §§ 12-18 HinSchG.

The task of the internal reporting office is to operating reporting channels that can be used by employees and the employers of leased agency workers to contact the internal reporting office to pass on information about infringements.

These notifications are then processed by the internal reporting office in accordance with a statutory procedure. Subsequent actions are taken by the internal reporting office as required. We welcome the notification via our internal reporting office, although it is of course still possible to contact an external reporting office (established by the federal government or an authority).

In the course of a notification to our internal reporting office, we may receive personal data about the reporting person or about a person whose personal data may be processed in the course of the notification. At this point, we provide the information about how we process personal data in the course of processing the notifications submitted in the whistleblower system. This personal data includes, in accordance with Art. 4 Nr. 1 GDPR, all information that is related or may be related to the identity of the whistleblower, especially due to assignment to an ID such as a name or to an organisational or personnel number that allows the identification of a person.

Abridged version:

• The provision and configuration of an internal reporting office is a statutory requirement. We therefore process personal data in the course of a notification.
• The data is used for the purposes of processing the notification, including for communication purposes.
• We comply with data privacy regulations, such as Permissible purpose, transparency, and minimum principle.

This can affect the introduction of new services, for example. The new data protection notes then apply on your next visit.
