DATA PROTECTION

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content such as orders or requests that you send to us as a site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. An encrypted connection is recognised by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser line.

The acceptance of cookies is a requirement for visiting our website.

What are cookies?

Cookies and flash cookies are small files that are stored on your data carrier and which store certain settings and data for exchange with our system via your browser. In general, there are two different types of cookies: session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and temporary/permanent cookies, which are stored on your data carrier for a longer period of time or permanently. Storing cookies in this way helps us to tailor our website and our offers to you and helps you use our site, for example, by saving certain data input by you, so that you do not have to repeatedly do so.

We use cookies that are stored on your hard disk and can only be read again by our server if you re-establish a data connection to our server. Cookies are used to restore the settings you have made and to generate website statistics anonymously. You can set your browser to automatically accept cookies, to notify you of the sending of cookies or to exclude the use of cookies altogether. You can navigate freely on our website even if you do not allow the cookies on our website or delete them.

A detailed list of cookies can be found on the cookies page.

Server log files

We automatically collect and store information in “server log files”, which are sent to us by your browser automatically. These are:

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

This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis of the data processing is Article 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR, with the legitimate interest of the website operator being the correct presentation of the website and the guarantee of secure operation of the website.

This website uses the functions of the Google Analytics web analytics service. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses “cookies”. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable analysis of how you use the website. Information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

For more information on how Google Analytics handles user data, see Google’s privacy statement: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de

Browser plug-in

You can prevent the storage of cookies using the appropriate setting in your browser software; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the transmission to Google of data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

IP anonymisation

We use the “activate IP anonymisation” function on this website. This means that Google first shortens your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other countries that are parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google uses this information to evaluate your usage of the website, to generate reports about website activities and to provide other services to the website operator relating to website and internet usage. The IP address provided by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data by Google.

Use of Google Tag Manager

We use the Google Tag Manager. This service allows website tags to be managed via an interface. The Google Tag Manager only implements tags. It does not set any cookies or record personal data. The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags that may record data. The Google Tag Manager does not access this data.

More information about Google Tag Manager can be found at the following link: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/tag-manager/

Use of Google Consent Mode

Our website uses Google Consent Mode, a feature from Google, to ensure compliance with the privacy policy and cookie consent rules. Google Consent Mode allows us to take into account the consent settings of our users, in particular in relation to the use of Google products such as Google Analytics and Google Ads.

Google Consent Mode works by collecting information about whether you have consented to the use of cookies and other trackers on our website. Based on this information, Google Analytics will or will not collect and send data from your current session.

If you have not consented to the use of cookies, no information about your online activities will be shared with Google Analytics or Google Ads.

More information on the use of cookies can be found in our cookie policy, which provides detailed information about the cookies and trackers we use.

Google AdWords

This website uses Google AdWords, an online advertising programme from Google. Google AdWords uses cookies to analyse use of the website. A cookie is set if you were directed to our website via a Google advert. Cookies of this kind become invalid after 30 days and are not used for personal identification purposes. If you visit certain RECA websites and the cookie has not expired, we and Google can recognise that you have clicked on the advert and have been redirected to this page. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked by AdWords customers on the website. Information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. AdWords customers are notified of the total number of users who have clicked on their advert and been redirected to a page featuring a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies internet users. Internet users who do not wish to participate in tracking can deactivate the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via the settings of the internet browser they are using. Such internet users are not included in the conversion tracking statistics.

Bing Ads

We use Bing Ads, a programme from Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) using Universal Event Tracking (UET) to perform remarketing and end tracking. A cookie is placed on your computer for this purpose if you have been directed to our website via Bing or Yahoo. In this text file, information about the use of our website, i.e. the pages you have visited, is stored by Bing Ads for 180 days and then deleted. This information includes, but is not limited to, the URL of the visited page, the URL of the referring page and your IP address. Use of the remarketing function allows us to present offers tailored to your needs in subsequent searches using one of the above-mentioned search engines.

If you do not consent to the collection of information, you can deactivate the setting of cookies via the settings of the internet browser you are using. This may limit the functionality of the website. In addition, Microsoft may be able to track your usage behaviour across several of your electronic devices through “cross-device tracking”, and thus be able to display personalised advertising on or in Microsoft websites and apps. You can disable this at  https://choice.microsoft.com/de-de/opt-out.

Further information on the analysis services of Bing is available on the Bing Ads website (https://help.bingads.microsoft.com/#apex/3/de/53056/2). You can access Microsoft’s Privacy Statement for handling collected data at the following link: https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement/
 

Use of Piwik Tag Manager

We use the Piwik Tag Manager. This service allows website tags to be managed via an interface. The Piwik Tag Manager only implements tags. It does not set any cookies or record personal data. The Piwik Tag Manager triggers other tags that may record data. The Piwik Tag Manager does not access this data.

More information about Piwik Tag Manager can be found at the following link: https://piwik.pro/tag-manager/

Microsoft Clarity

This website uses the analytics software “Microsoft Clarity”. The provider is Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland (hereinafter “Microsoft Ireland”). The provider processes usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses), location data (information on the geographical position of a device or person), and movement data (mouse movements, scrolling movements) in the EU. Microsoft Clarity helps us to analyse user behaviour on our website in order to improve its functionality and user experience.

To facilitate this analysis, Microsoft Clarity may collect and store anonymous information about your interactions with our website. This includes mouse clicks, scrolling and other non-personal information.

To protect the privacy of our users, we have activated the masking of personal data in accordance with Microsoft Clarity’s guidelines. This means that sensitive content is masked by default to ensure that it is not captured by Clarity. Sensitive data includes all contents of input fields, numbers and email addresses. Masking ensures that this sensitive information is not passed on to Microsoft.

The legal basis for the use of Microsoft Clarity is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, your consent.

As part of the use of Microsoft Clarity, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Microsoft Corporation (One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA) in the USA. The transfer of data to a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA) is based on the legal basis of an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR. The security of the data transferred to this third country (a country outside the EEA), in particular to the USA, is guaranteed by the EU-US Data Protection Agreement (EU-US Privacy Framework).

If you do not agree or no longer agree to the storage and use of your data, you can change the storage and use in the cookie settings. In this case, your decision will be saved in the form of a cookie. If you delete your cookies, this cookie will also be deleted. When you visit our website again, you will be asked again whether cookies may be used for web analysis.

You can find more information about Microsoft Clarity’s analytics services on the Microsoft Clarity website: https://clarity.microsoft.com

Facebook pixels

Our website uses the Facebook pixel by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”) for conversion measurement.

This allows the behaviour of site visitors to be tracked after they have been directed to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This allows the effectiveness of Facebook Ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and to optimise future advertising activities.

The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website; we have no indication as to the identity of users. Data, however, is stored and processed by Facebook, meaning that connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook may use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook’s Data Policy. This allows Facebook to display adverts on Facebook pages as well as outside of Facebook. This type of data usage is beyond our control as the website operator.

See Facebook’s Data Policy for more information about protecting your privacy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/

You can also disable the “Custom Audiences” remarketing function in the advertising settings at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. You must be logged into Facebook to do so.

If you do not have a Facebook account, you can disable usage-based advertising from Facebook on the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/
Kameleoon

This website uses the Kameleoon test and web analytics service. The programme allows user behaviour to be analysed based on user segmentation. By analysing log file data, we can determine how each user segment visits the site, which landing pages are visited and how increasing click rates can be achieved.

For analysis purposes, cookies/the browser’s local storage as described above are used, which are linked to a pseudonymised ID. Your IP address is completely anonymised and is not stored. The information generated by the cookie/local storage concerning your use of this website is transmitted to a Kameleoon server in Germany and stored there in an aggregated and pseudonymised form. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Kameleoon is not merged with other data from Kameleoon.

The use of Kameleoon is intended to evaluate your usage of the website and to compile reports about website activities so that we can regularly improve our offering. The legal basis for the storage of the cookie is the granting of consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR). Further evaluation of the collected data is carried out over a period of max. 380 days based on Art. 6 Para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.

You can prevent the storage of cookies/local storage using the appropriate setting in your browser software; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You may also disable Kameleoon tracking at any time (and thus prevent Kameleoon from collecting data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website, as well as the processing of this data by Kameleoon) by clicking on the following link: https://shop.recanorm.de/de/DE/EUR/#kameleoonOptout=true

Facebook

Our website uses “social plug-ins” from the social networks Facebook and Google+. These services are provided by Facebook Inc. and Google Inc.

Facebook is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”).

Google+ is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

Your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of Google, Facebook or Twitter only if you actively click on a “Share” button and thereby give your consent for data transfer. By clicking on the link, the providers are notified that your browser has accessed the corresponding page on our website, even if you do not have a profile with the respective provider or are not currently logged in. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a server of the respective provider in the USA and stored there.

YouTube

We have incorporated YouTube videos into our online offering, which are stored at   www.youtube.com and can be played directly from our website. All videos are integrated in “extended privacy mode”, i.e. no data about you as a user will be transferred to YouTube if you do not play the videos. Data is not transferred until you play the videos. We have no control over this data transmission. This occurs regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether there is no user account. If you are logged into Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account.

If you do not want to be associated with your profile on YouTube, you must log out of YouTube before playing the video. YouTube stores your data as a usage profile and uses it for advertising, market research and/or customisation of its website. You have the right to object to the creation of such user profiles; you must direct your objection to YouTube.

YouTube is used to present our online offering in an attractive way. This constitutes a legitimate interest as defined by Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by YouTube, please refer to the privacy statement. There you will also find more information about your rights and settings to protect your privacy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. Google also processes your personal data in the USA and is subject to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

YouTube is operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

If you would like to receive the newsletter provided on our website, we require you to provide an email address. We also require information that allows us to verify that the specified email address belongs to you and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. Furthermore, we record your title, first and last name and company name in order to ensure assignment to your customer number. You will only receive our newsletters if you are in an active business relationship with us. No further data is collected, or is collected only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for the purposes of sending the requested information and do not disclose it to third parties.

Data entered in the newsletter registration form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of data, your email address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of data processing operations already carried out shall remain unaffected by this revocation.

emarsys

This website uses Emarsys Interactive Services GmbH, Stralauer Platz 34, 10243 Berlin, Germany.

Emarsys is a service that can be used, among other things, to organise and analyse the dispatch of newsletters. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter is stored on emarsys servers in the EU.

If you wish to prevent analysis by emarsys, you must cancel the respective newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding “unsubscribe” link in each newsletter. You can also unsubscribe from our newsletter by sending a message to ebusiness@recanorm.de.

Our website offers the online service WhatsApp. This is used for accessibility purposes. RECA NORM does not send out any advertising mails using this service.

WhatsApp is operated by WhatsApp Inc. On 19 February 2014, the company was acquired by Facebook and has since been operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA.

Contact is only made when you actively send a message to our specified mobile number via WhatsApp. In this case too, RECA NORM only responds to the request and does not send any advertising mails.

RECA NORM uses a live chat feature from company Userlike UG (limited liability), Probsteigasse 44-46, 50670 Cologne, Germany. You can use the live chat feature like a contact form to chat with our staff almost in real time. When a chat is started, the following personal data is collected:

• Date and time of access,
• Browser type/version,
• IP address,
• Operating system used,
• URL of the previously visited website,
• Volume of data sent.
• And if specified: First name, last name, and email address.

Depending on the course of the conversation with our staff, additional personal data entered by you may be generated in the chat. The nature of this data depends heavily on your inquiry or the problem you are describing to us. This data is processed for the purposes of providing you with a fast and efficient contact option and thus to improve our customer service.

All of our employees have and continue to receive training on the subject of data protection and instruction on the safe and faithful handling of customer data. All of our employees are bound to confidentiality and accordingly have signed a supplementary document in their employment contract stipulating a duty of confidentiality and the observation of data protection. When you visit the website recanorm.de, the chat widget is loaded in the form of a JavaScript file by AWS Cloudfront. The chat widget technically represents the source code that runs on your computer and allows you to chat.

Furthermore, RECA stores the history of live chats for a period of six months. The purpose of doing so is to record the history of your inquiry for convenience and for continual quality control of our live chat service. Processing is therefore permitted in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1, Letter f GDPR. If you do consent to this, please contact us using the contact information below. We will then delete saved live chats immediately.

The storage of chat data is also intended to ensure the security of our information technology systems. This also constitutes a legitimate interest on our part, permitting processing according to Art. 6 Para. 1, Letter f GDPR.

Further information can be found in the  Privacy Provisions of Userlike UG (limited liability).

Purposes and legal basis of processing
We process your personal data in accordance with the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), insofar as this is necessary for deciding on establishing an employment relationship with us. The legal basis for this is Art. 88 GDPR in connection with Art. 26 BDSG-new and, if necessary, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the initiation or implementation of contractual relations.

Furthermore, we may process personal data from you, provided this is necessary in order to fulfil legal obligations (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR) or to defend against any legal claims asserted against us. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest would be, for example, the requirement to submit evidence to a proceeding under the General Act on Equal Treatment (AGG). If you grant us explicit consent to the processing of personal data for the intended purposes, the lawfulness of this processing shall be on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Any issued consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future (see Section “Your rights” of this Privacy Information).

If an employment relationship is initiated between you and us, we may, in accordance with Art. 88 GDPR in connection with Art. 26 BDSG-new, continue to process the personal data we have already received from you for the purposes of the employment relationship, insofar as this is necessary for implementation or termination of the employment relationship or for exercising or fulfilling the rights and obligations from a law or wage agreement, operating or service agreement (collective agreement) in the interests of the employee.

Categories of personal data
We will only process data that is related to your application. This may include general data of a personal nature (name, address, contact details etc.), information on your professional qualifications and school education, information on professional further training as well as, if applicable, further data you transmit to us as part of your application.

Sources of data
We process personal data that we receive from you when you contact us or apply to us by post or email or which you transmit to us using Talention applicant management, the video application tool Viasto or online job portals.

Data recipients
We pass on your data within our company exclusively to persons who require this data to fulfil contractual and legal obligations or to implement our legitimate interest.

Your personal data is processed on our behalf based on an order processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. As part of this process, we ensure that personal data is processed in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR. In this case, the recipient of this data is the provider of the “Talention” applicant management platform.

Data is only passed on to recipients outside of the company if legal provisions permit or require this, this transfer is necessary to fulfil legal obligations or you have consented to this.

Transmission to third countries
There is no provision for transmission to a third country.

Duration of data storage
We will store your personal data for as long as is necessary to make a decision about your application. Your application documents containing personal data will be deleted a maximum of six months following termination of the application procedure (e. g. notification of application rejection), unless longer storage is required or permissible by law. Beyond this, we will store your personal data only if this is required for legal purposes or in specific cases, for enforcing, exercising or defending legal claims for the duration of a legal dispute.

If the application procedure leads to an employment relationship, training relationship or internship, your data will continue to be stored insofar as this is required and permissible and then transferred to personnel files.

If applicable, you will receive an invitation to join our talent pool following the application process. This allows us to consider you in our selection of candidates for suitable vacancies in the future. Provided we have corresponding consent from you, we will save your application data in our talent pool in accordance with your consent or, if applicable, future consent.

Your rights
All data subjects have the right to information in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR, the right to correction in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, the right to deletion in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR, the right to restrict processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR, the right to notification in accordance with Art. 19 GDPR and the right to data transmission in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR.

Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR if you believe that the processing of your personal data is not lawful. The right to lodge a complaint shall be without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

If the processing of data takes place on the basis of your consent, in accordance with Art. 7 GDPR, you are authorised to revoke this consent to the use of your personal data at any time. Please note that this revocation will only be effective for the future. Any processing carried out prior to the revocation shall not be affected. Please also note that we may need to retain certain data for a certain period of time in order to comply with legal requirements (see section “Duration of data protection storage” in this data protection information).

Right of objection
If, in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR; the processing of your personal data takes place to ensure legitimate interests, you have, in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR, the right to object at any time to the processing of data for reasons arising from your specific circumstances. We will then cease processing your personal data unless we can prove compelling reasons to do so. Such reasons must prevail over your interests, rights and freedoms, or processing must serve to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

You can contact us concerning the protection of your rights.

Requirement for the provision of personal data
The provision of personal data as part of application processes is neither stipulated by law nor contract. You are therefore not obliged to provide any personal data. Please note, however, that doing so is necessary for decision-making concerning an application or conclusion of a contract in relation to the employment relationship with us. If you do not provide us with any personal data, we cannot make a decision to establish an employment relationship. We recommend that you only provide personal data as part of your application that is necessary for the handling of your application.

Automated decision-making
As the decision about your application is not based exclusively on automated processing, no automated decision can be made in individual cases as defined by Art. 22 GDPR.
