The following notes provide a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data with which you can be personally identified. Detailed information on data protection can be found in our privacy policy listed below this text.

Who is responsible for data collection on this website?
Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find the operator’s contact details in the site notice (Imprint) of this website.

How do we collect your data?
On the one hand, your data is collected when you provide it to us. This can be data that you enter in a contact form, for example.
Other data is collected automatically or with your consent when you visit the website by our IT systems. This is mainly technical data (e.g., internet browser, operating system, or time of page access). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.

What do we use your data for?
Part of the data is collected to ensure error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior.

What rights do you have regarding your data?
You have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the rectification or deletion of this data. If you have given consent to data processing, you can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the Imprint regarding this and other questions on the subject of data protection.

When you visit this website, your surfing behavior can be statistically evaluated. This happens mainly with so-called analysis programs. Detailed information on these analysis programs can be found in the following privacy policy.

This website is hosted by an external service provider (host). The personal data collected on this website is stored on the host’s servers. This may include, in particular, IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contract data, contact details, names, website accesses, and other data generated via a website. The use of the host is for the purpose of fulfilling contracts with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast, and efficient provision of our online offering by a professional provider (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Our host will process your data only to the extent necessary to fulfill its service obligations and follow our instructions regarding this data.

We use the following host:
Platform.sh
Koblenzer Str. 11
50968 Cologne (Köln), Germany

Conclusion of a data processing agreement
To ensure processing in compliance with data protection regulations, we have concluded a data processing agreement with our host.

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.
We point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g., communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Arnold NextG GmbH
An der Breite 3
72539 Pfronstetten-Aichelau
Phone: +49 171 534 037 7
E-mail: info@arnoldnextg.de

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Unless a more specific storage period is specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you submit a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion takes place after these reasons cease to apply.

We have appointed a data protection officer for our company:

EasyDataSec GmbH
Maximilian Schneider
Gerbergasse 3
72534 Hayingen
Phone: 0151/42045299
E-mail: datenschutz@arnoldnextg.de

We use, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We point out that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be excluded that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the processing carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).

In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

You have the right to have data that we process on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract automatically delivered to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification or deletion of this data. For this, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the Imprint.

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the Imprint. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you contest 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 restriction of processing of your personal data.

• If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, you may request 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 restriction of processing instead of deletion.

• If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.

Our web pages use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are deleted automatically after your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.
In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your end device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or displaying videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or display advertising.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies), to provide certain functions you have requested (functional cookies, e.g., for the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies to measure web audience) 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 storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Where consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the storage of the relevant cookies is based exclusively on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR); consent can be revoked at any time.
You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. When cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.
If cookies from third-party companies or for analysis purposes are used, we will inform you separately within this privacy policy and, if necessary, request consent.

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, dwell time, operating systems used, and origin of the user. Google may combine this data into a profile assigned to the respective user and/or their end device. Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its web offering and its advertising. Where corresponding consent has been requested (e.g., consent to store cookies), processing is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

Deactivate Google Analytics
IP anonymization
We have activated IP anonymization on this website. As a result, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be 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 other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser plugin
You can prevent Google from collecting and processing your data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:

https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de

The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ads enables us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters certain search terms on Google (keyword targeting). Targeted advertisements can also be displayed based on the user data available at Google (e.g., location data and interests) (audience targeting). As the website operator, we can evaluate these data quantitatively, for example by analyzing which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and how many ads led to corresponding clicks.
The use of Google Ads is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the most effective possible marketing of its products/services.

This website uses the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Remarketing analyzes your user behavior on our website (e.g., clicks on certain products) in order to classify you into specific advertising target groups and then display suitable advertising messages to you when you visit other online offerings (remarketing or retargeting).
Furthermore, the advertising target groups created with Google Remarketing can be linked with Google’s cross-device functions. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one end device (e.g., mobile phone) can also be displayed on one of your other end devices (e.g., tablet or PC). If you have a Google account, you can opt out of personalized advertising at the following link:
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/

The use of Google Remarketing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the most effective possible marketing of its products. Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time. Further information and the privacy policy can be found in Google’s privacy policy:
https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de

Customer match for audience building
For audience building, we also use Google Remarketing’s customer match. In doing so, we pass certain customer data (e.g., e-mail addresses) from our customer lists to Google. If the relevant customers are Google users and are logged into their Google account, they will be shown suitable advertising messages within the Google network (e.g., on YouTube, Gmail, or in Search).

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. With the help of Google Conversion Tracking, Google and we can recognize whether the user has performed certain actions. For example, we can evaluate which buttons on our website are clicked how often and which products are viewed or purchased particularly often. This information is used to create conversion statistics. We learn the total number of users who clicked on our ads and what actions they performed. We do not receive any information with which we can personally identify the user. Google uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies for identification.
The use of Google Conversion Tracking is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its web offering and its advertising. Where corresponding consent has been requested (e.g., consent to store cookies), processing is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time. More information on Google Conversion Tracking can be found in Google’s privacy policy:

Analyzes general website usage data, captures trends and patterns in visitor behavior, and provides aggregated company information. Supports the qualification of potential prospects, enables notification systems, and allows integration with CRM systems; Service provider: Leadinfo B.V., Rivium Quadrant 141, 2909 LC Capelle aan den IJssel, Netherlands; Legal basis: consent (Art. 6(1) sentence 1(a) GDPR); Website: https://www.leadinfo.com; Privacy policy: https://www.leadinfo.com/de/datenschutz/; Data processing agreement: https://portal.leadinfo.com/settings/legal; Opt-out: https://www.leadinfo.com/de/opt-out-de/.

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by e-mail, 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 is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions, and that your data is treated strictly confidentially.

Scope and purpose of data collection
If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis is Section 26 BDSG-new under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation), 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 involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship on the basis of Section 26 BDSG-new and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Retention period of the data
If we cannot make you a job offer, you reject a job offer, or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted to us on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be deleted and physical application documents destroyed. 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 a pending or imminent legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further retention no longer applies.
A longer retention period may also occur if you have given corresponding consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
