Declaration of consent to data protection

The protection of your personal data is taken very seriously at Klotz GmbH and compliance with the data protection regulations, in particular from the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), is a matter of course for us. On this page we inform you about the processing on our website and your rights.

The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent. Your personal data will be stored and processed responsibly in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

SSL encryption

We use SSL encryption to protect your transmitted data in the best possible way. You can recognize such encrypted connections by the prefix "https://" in the page link in the address bar of your browser. Unencrypted pages are marked with "http://". Thanks to SSL encryption, none of the data you transmit to this website - for example when making inquiries or logging in - can be read by third parties.

Contact form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

Access data/server log files

The provider (or its web space provider) collects data about every access to the website (so-called server log files). The access data includes
Name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.
The data collected in this way is stored temporarily, but not together with other data from you. This storage takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our website. The provider uses the log data only for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, security and optimization of the offer. However, the provider reserves the right to check the log data retrospectively if there is a justified suspicion of unlawful use based on concrete evidence.

Cooperation with processors and third parties

If we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors or third parties) as part of our processing, transfer it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this will only be done on the basis of legal permission (e.g. if the transfer of data to third parties, such as payment service providers, is necessary for the performance of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR), you have given your consent, a legal obligation provides for this or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.).

If we commission third parties with the processing of data on the basis of a so-called "order processing contract", this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.

If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the storage of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. You can find more information on this above under "Cookies".

Privacy policy for applicants

Data security

Your details will be treated in strict confidence and encrypted during electronic transmission. All personal data collected and processed by us as part of an application is protected against unauthorized access and manipulation by technical and organizational measures.

Purpose and legal basis for data processing

We process personal data about you for the purpose of your application for an employment relationship, insofar as this is necessary for the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship with us. The legal basis for this is § 26 para. 1 in conjunction with para. 8 sentence 2 BDSG.
Furthermore, we may process personal data about you if this is necessary to defend against legal claims asserted against us in the application process. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR; the legitimate interest is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
If there is an employment relationship between you and us, we may process the personal data already received from you for the purposes of the employment relationship in accordance with Section 26 (1) BDSG if this is necessary for the performance or termination of the employment relationship or for the exercise or fulfillment of the rights and obligations of the representation of employees' interests arising from a law or a collective agreement, a works or service agreement (collective agreement).

Categories of personal data processed

We process data in connection with your application. This may be general personal data (such as name, address and contact details), information about your professional qualifications and schooling or information about further professional training or other information that you provide to us in connection with your application. We may also process job-related information that you have made publicly available, such as a profile on professional social media networks.

Disclosure and processing of personal data

Your application will be processed by our HR department as quickly as possible. The application will then be forwarded to the relevant specialist department. It may take some time to check your application documents.
A transfer to a third country is not intended.

Storage

If we are unable to identify a suitable position for your profile, but your profile is generally of interest, you hereby give us your consent to retain and store the application data.

You nevertheless have the right to demand that we erase personal data concerning you without undue delay and we are obliged to erase personal data without undue delay unless one of the following grounds applies:
- for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which we are subject.
- for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Necessity of the provision of personal data

The provision of personal data is neither legally nor contractually required, nor are you obliged to provide the personal data. However, the provision of personal data is necessary for the conclusion of a contract of employment with us. This means that if you do not provide us with personal data when applying, we will not be able to enter into an employment relationship with you.

By submitting your data, you agree to the use of your data in our company.
