Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. <\/p>\n<h3>Information on the controller<\/h3>\n<p>The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:<\/p>\n<p>GxG Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft GmbH<br \/>Rossertstra\u00dfe 15<br \/>60323 Frankfurt am Main<\/p>\n<p>Phone: +49 (0) 69 247 5717 60<br \/>Email: mail@gxglegal.com<\/p>\n<p>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, email addresses, etc.).<\/p>\n<h3>Storage period<\/h3>\n<p>Unless a more specific storage period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw 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 will take place once these reasons no longer apply. <\/p>\n<h3>General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website<\/h3>\n<p>If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR.

In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure. When using processors, we only pass on our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, an agreement on joint processing is concluded.      <\/p>\n<h3>Withdrawal of your consent to data processing<\/h3>\n<p>Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the time of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.  <\/p>\n<h3>Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)<\/h3>\n<p>IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS.

This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies. <\/p>\n<h3>Right to data portability<\/h3>\n<p>You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over 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. <\/p>\n<h3>Information, correction and deletion<\/h3>\n<p>Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data.

In-house services<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Handling of applicant data<\/h3>\n<p>We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by email, post or via an online application form). Below we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of the personal data collected from you as part of 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 legal provisions, and that your data is treated with strict confidentiality.  <\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Scope and purpose of data collection<\/h4>\n<p>If you submit an application to us, we process the personal data associated with it (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes from interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation) and\u2014if you have given consent\u2014Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons involved in processing your application.       <\/p>\n<p>If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.  <\/p>\n<p>As part of the application process, we may also conduct an online search about you. This mainly includes Google search, LinkedIn and Xing. The legal basis for this type of processing is our legitimate interest in obtaining an overall impression of publicly available information about you pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.    <\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Data retention period<\/h4>\n<p>If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have provided on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months after 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 an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place once the purpose for further retention no longer applies.   <\/p>\n<p>Longer retention may also take place if you have given corresponding consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.<\/p>\n<h4>Inclusion in the applicant pool<\/h4>\n<p>If we do not make you a job offer, you may have the option of being included in our applicant pool. If you are included, all documents and information from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you in the event of suitable vacancies. <\/p>\n<p>Inclusion in the applicant pool takes place exclusively on the basis of your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Giving consent is voluntary and is not related to the ongoing application process.  <strong>The data subject may withdraw their consent at any time.<\/strong> In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool, provided there are no statutory reasons for retention.<\/p>\n<p>The data in the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent is given.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5326","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Data protection - GxG Legal<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"From data processing agreements to data breach processes and HR data protection: legally compliant solutions for your company from GxG Legal.
