We are pleased that you are visiting our website. The protection and security of your personal information when using our website is very important to us. We would therefore like to take this opportunity to inform you which of your personal data we collect when you visit our website and for what purposes it is used. 

This privacy policy applies to the website of Altman Solon GmbH & Co KG, which is accessible under this domain and the various subdomains ("our website"). 

Objection to advertising e-mails 

We hereby object to the use of the contact data published in the legal notice, the data protection notice and other contact data published on the website for sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of the website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails. 

Who is responsible and how can I reach you? 

Person responsible 

for the processing of personal data within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 

Altman Solon GmbH & Co KG  
Kardinal-Faulhaber-Str. 6  
80333 Munich 

Data Protection Officer 

Our data protection officer is Stephan Krischke and you can contact the data protection team at dataprotection@altmansolon.com.

What is it about? 

This privacy policy meets the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, e-mail address, IP address or user behavior when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot (or only with disproportionate effort) establish a connection to your person, e.g. through anonymization, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. the collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose. 

Stored personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate reasons for further storage of the data. We will inform you about the specific storage periods or criteria for storage in the individual processing operations. Irrespective of this, we store your personal data in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and in the event of statutory retention obligations. 

Who receives my data? 

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. 

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if: 

  • you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, 
  • the disclosure is permitted in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data, 
  • in the event that there is a legal obligation for disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, and 
  • this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. 

In order to protect your data and, if necessary, to enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA), we have concluded data processing agreements based on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. This may not apply in the case of data transfer to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR. 

As part of the processing operations described in this privacy policy, personal data may be transferred to the USA. The USA does not have an adequate level of data protection (ECJ: Schrems II ruling). In particular, US investigative authorities can oblige US companies to hand over or disclose personal data without the data subjects being able to take effective legal action against this. This means that there is a fundamental possibility that your personal data may be processed by US investigative authorities. We have no influence on these processing activities. In order to protect your data, we have concluded data processing agreements based on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. This may not apply in the case of data transfer to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR. 

Do you use cookies? 

Cookies are small text files that are sent by us to the browser of your end device and stored there when you visit our website. As an alternative to the use of cookies, information can also be stored in the local storage of your browser. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies or local storage (technically necessary cookies). Other cookies, on the other hand, enable us to carry out various analyses, so that we are able, for example, to recognize the browser you are using when you visit our website again and to transmit various information to us (non-essential cookies). With the help of cookies, we can, among other things, make our website more user-friendly and effective for you, for example by tracking your use of our website and determining your preferred settings (e.g. country and language settings). If third parties process information via cookies, they collect the information directly via your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device. They cannot execute programs or contain viruses. 

We provide information about the respective services for which we use cookies in the individual processing operations. Detailed information on the cookies used can be found in the cookie settings or in the Consent Manager of this website. 

What rights do I have? 

Under the conditions of the statutory provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the following rights as a data subject: 

  • Information pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR about the personal data stored about you in the form of meaningful information on the details of the processing as well as a copy of your data; 
  • Correction in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR of incorrect or incomplete data stored by us; 
  • Deletion in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR of the data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information, to fulfill a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims; 
  • restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR if the accuracy of the data is contested, the processing is unlawful, we no longer need the data and you oppose the erasure of the data because you need it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR. 
  • Data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, insofar as you have provided us with personal data on the basis of consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or on the basis of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and these have been processed by us using automated procedures. You will receive your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or we will transmit the data directly to another controller if this is technically feasible. 
  • Objection pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR to the processing of your personal data, insofar as this is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e, f GDPR and there are reasons for this arising from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct advertising. The right to object does not exist if overriding, compelling legitimate grounds for the processing can be demonstrated or the processing is carried out for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. If the right to object does not exist for individual processing operations, this is indicated there. 
  • Revocation pursuant to Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR of your consent with effect for the future. 
  • Complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR to a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your workplace or our company headquarters. 

How is my data processed in detail? 

Below we inform you about the individual processing operations, the scope and purpose of the data processing, the legal basis, the obligation to provide your data and the respective storage period. There is no automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling. 

Provision of the website

When you access and use our website, we collect the personal data that your browser automatically transmits to our server. The following information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file: 

  • IP address of the requesting computer 
  • Date and time of access 
  • Name and URL of the retrieved file 
  • Website from which the access is made (referrer URL) 
  • Browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer, as well as the name of your access provider 

Our website is not hosted by us, but by a service provider who processes the aforementioned data on our behalf in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. 

Purpose and legal basis 

Processing is carried out to safeguard our overriding legitimate interest in displaying our website and ensuring security and stability on the basis of Art. 6 (f) GDPR. The collection of data and storage in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. There is no right to object to the processing due to the exception under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR. Insofar as further storage of the log files is required by law, the processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide the data, but it is not technically possible to access our website without providing the data. 

Storage duration 

The aforementioned data is stored for the duration of the display of the website and - for technical reasons - for a maximum of 7 days thereafter. 

Contact form 

Type and scope of processing 

Personal data is collected when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email). Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. You can also voluntarily provide additional information that you believe is necessary to process the contact request. 

When using the contact form, your personal data will not be passed on to third parties. 

Purpose and legal basis 

The processing of your data by using our contact form is carried out for the purpose of communication and processing your request on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Insofar as your request relates to an existing contractual relationship with us, the processing is carried out for the purpose of fulfilling the contract on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data, but it is not possible to process your request without providing the information in the mandatory fields. If you do not wish to provide this data, please contact us by other means. 

Storage duration 

If you use the contact form on the basis of your consent, we will store the data collected for each inquiry for a period of three years, starting from the time your inquiry is dealt with or until you withdraw your consent. 

If you use the contact form as part of a contractual relationship, we store the data collected for each inquiry for a period of three years from the end of the contractual relationship. 

Contact form for applicants 

Type and scope of processing 

We collect and process the personal data of applicants. Corresponding data processing may also be carried out electronically, for example when applicants send us application documents by e-mail or via a web form on our website. On our website, we offer you the opportunity to send us applications for advertised vacancies by e-mail. 

Your data will also only be stored in an applicant database beyond the current application process if you have given us your separate consent to do so. 

Purpose and legal basis 

The processing of your data in connection with your application is carried out for the purpose of processing your application and deciding on the establishment of an employment relationship on the basis of Section 26 BDSG. If your application documents are forwarded to third parties, in particular to companies affiliated with us, and if your data is stored beyond the current application process, your data will be processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data, but it is not possible to process your application without providing the information. 

Storage duration 

Applicant data will be deleted after 6 months in the event of rejection. In the event that you have consented to your personal data being stored further, we will transfer your data to our applicant pool. There the data will be deleted after 24 months. 

Newsletter 

Type and scope of processing 

On our website, you are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to us when you subscribe to the newsletter can be seen from the input mask used for this purpose. 

We inform our customers and business partners about our offers at regular intervals by means of a newsletter. In principle, you can only receive our company newsletter if 

  • you have a valid e-mail address and 
  • you have registered to receive the newsletter. 

For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address you entered for the first time for the newsletter mailing using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to check whether you, as the owner of the e-mail address, have authorized the receipt of the newsletter. 

When you register for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP) of the IT system you are using at the time of registration as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of your e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves our legal protection. 

The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in this regard, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical circumstances. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. You can cancel your subscription to our newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that you have given us for the newsletter dispatch can be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for the purpose of revoking consent. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on our website or to inform us of this in another way. 

Purpose and legal basis 

We process your data for the purpose of sending the newsletter on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. By unsubscribing from the newsletter, you can declare your revocation at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data, but it is not possible to send the newsletter without providing your data. 

Storage duration 

The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this. 

Newsletter tracking 

Our newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in e-mails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the company can recognize whether and when an e-mail was opened by you and which links in the e-mail were called up by you. 

Purpose and legal basis 

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by us in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to your interests. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by us. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is automatically interpreted as a revocation. 

Such an evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests in the display of personalized advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of our website. 

Presence on social media platforms 

We maintain so-called fan pages or accounts or channels on the networks listed below in order to provide you with information and offers within social networks and to offer you further ways to contact us and find out about our offers. In the following, we will inform you which data we or the respective social network process in connection with your accessing and using our fan pages/accounts. 

Data that we process from you 

If you wish to contact us via Messenger or via Direct Message via the respective social network, we generally process your user name, which you use to contact us, and may store other data provided by you insofar as this is necessary to process/answer your request. 

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f) GDPR (processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller). 

(Static) usage data that we receive from the social networks 

We receive automated statistics regarding our accounts via Insights functionalities. The statistics include the total number of page views, likes, information on page activities and post interactions, reach, video views/views and information on the proportion of men/women among our fans/followers. 

The statistics only contain aggregated data that cannot be related to individual persons. They are not identifiable to us. 

It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual users by means of the statistical information transmitted. We only use this information to respond to the interests of our users and to continuously improve our online presence and ensure its quality. 

What data the social networks process from you 

In order to view the content of our fan pages or accounts, you do not have to be a member of the respective social network and therefore no user account is required for the respective social network. 

Please note, however, that the social networks also collect and store data from website visitors without a user account when the respective social network is accessed (e.g. technical data in order to be able to display the website to you) and use cookies and similar technologies, over which we have no influence whatsoever. Details on this can be found in the privacy policy of the respective social network (see the corresponding links above) 

If you wish to interact with the content on our fan pages/accounts, e.g. comment on, share or like our posts/contributions and/or wish to contact us via messenger functions, you must first register with the respective social network and provide personal data. 

We have no influence on the data processing by the social networks in the context of your use. To the best of our knowledge, your data is stored and processed in particular in connection with the provision of the services of the respective social network, as well as for the analysis of user behavior (using cookies, pixels/web beacons and similar technologies) on the basis of which advertising based on your interests is displayed both within and outside the respective social network. It cannot be ruled out that your data will also be stored by the social networks outside the EU/EEA and passed on to third parties. 

Due to the fact that the actual data processing is carried out by the provider of the social network, our access options to your data are limited. Only the provider of the social network is authorized to have full access to your data. As a result, only the provider can directly take and implement appropriate measures to fulfill your user rights (request for information, request for deletion, objection, etc.). The assertion of corresponding rights is therefore most effectively carried out directly against the respective provider. 

Purpose and legal basis 

We only collect your data via our profile in order to realize a possible provision for communication and interaction with us. This collection generally includes your name, message content, comment content and the profile information you provide "publicly". 

The processing of your personal data for the above-mentioned purposes is based on our legitimate business and communicative interest in offering an information and communication channel in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR. If you as a user have given your consent to data processing to the respective provider of the social network, the legal basis for processing extends to Art. 6 para. 1 a), Art. 7 GDPR. 

X 

X (formerly Twitter) is a short message service of Twitter International Company, with registered office at One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, D02 AX07, Ireland, which enables the creation of private profiles of natural persons (Personal Account) and professional profiles (Professional Account) of natural persons and companies.

This information is used to provide us, as the operator of our Twitter page, with statistical information about the use of the X page. You can find more information on this in Twitter's privacy policy: https://twitter.com/privacy#twitter-privacy-1. 

We are jointly responsible with Twitter for the personal content of the fan page. Data subject rights can be asserted with Twitter Inc. as well as with us. 

The primary responsibility under the GDPR for the processing of Insights data lies with Twitter and Twitter complies with all obligations under the GDPR with regard to the processing of Insights data. Twitter makes the essence of the Page Insights Supplement available to data subjects. 

We do not make any decisions regarding the processing of Insights data and the storage duration of cookies on user end devices. 

For more information, including the exact scope and purposes of the processing of your personal data, the storage period/deletion and guidelines on the use of cookies and similar technologies in the context of registration and use, please refer to Twitter's privacy policy/cookie policy: Privacy Policy: https://twitter.com/privacy#twitter-privacy-1
