1. Introduction

With the following information, we would like to give you as a "data subject" an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under data protection laws. In principle, it is possible to use our Internet pages without entering personal data. However, if you want to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.

The processing of personal data, such as your name, address, or e-mail address, shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the "elevait GmbH & Co. KG" applicable country-specific data protection provisions. By means of this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us.

As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are also free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or by mail.

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

3. Legal basis of the processing

Article 6 (1) lit. a GDPR (in conjunction with Section 25 (1) TTDSG) serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, for instance with processing operations that are necessary for a delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6 (1) lit. b. GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which a processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. 

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f. GDPR. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

Our offer is generally directed at adults. Persons under 16 years of age may not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We do not request personal data from children and young people, do not collect them and do not pass them on to third parties.

4. Transmission of data to third parties

We do not transfer your personal data to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

1. You have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a. GDPR,
2. The disclosure is permissible under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data,
3. In the event that a legal obligation exists for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) c GDPR, and
4. This is legally permissible and necessary according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the processing of contractual relationships with you.

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, U.S. investigative authorities can oblige U.S. companies to hand over or disclose personal data without the data subjects being able to effectively take legal action against this. Thus, in principle, there is a possibility that your personal data will be processed by U.S. investigative authorities. We have no influence on these processing activities. In order to protect your data, we have concluded commissioned processing agreements based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent can serve as a legal basis for the transfer to third countries in accordance with Art. 49 (1) a) GDPR. This sometimes does not apply in the case of a data transfer to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.

5. Technology

5.1 SSL/TLS-Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact requests that you send to us as the operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that there is a "https://" instead of a "http://" in the address line of the browser and by the lock symbol in your browser line. We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.

5.2 Data collection when visiting the website

When using our website for information purposes only, i.e. when not registering or otherwise transmitting information to us, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called "server log files"). Our website collects a series of general data and information with each call of a page by you or by an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following can be recorded

1. browser types and versions used,
2. the operating system used by the accessing system,
3. the website from which an accessing system arrives at our website (so-called referrer),
4. the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
5. the date and time of an access to the Internet site,
6. an Internet protocol address (IP address) and,
7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system.

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is required in order to

1. deliver the contents of our Internet site correctly,
2. optimize the content of our website as well as the advertising for it,
3. to ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and
4. to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

Therefore, the data and information collected is, on the one hand, statistically analyzed by us and, on the other hand, it is evaluated with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise so as to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.

The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above.

5.3 Cloudflare (Content Delivery Network)

Our website uses functions from CloudFlare. The provider is CloudFlare, Inc. 665 3rd St. #200, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.
‍
CloudFlare offers a globally distributed content delivery network with DNS. Technically, the transfer of information between your browser and our website is routed through CloudFlare's network. CloudFlare is thus able to analyse the data traffic between users and our websites, for example, in order to detect and ward off attacks on our services. In addition, CloudFlare may store cookies on your computer for optimisation and analysis.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

We have concluded a corresponding agreement with Cloudflare on the basis of the German Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for commissioned processing or in accordance with EU standard contractual clauses. Cloudflare collects statistical data about visits to this website. The access data includes: Name of the accessed website, 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. Cloudflare uses the log data for statistical evaluations for the purpose of the operation, security and optimisation of the offer.
‍
If you have consented to Cloudflare being used, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 (1) lit. at GDPR. In addition, we have a legitimate interest in using Cloudflare to optimise our online offering and make it more secure. The corresponding legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. at GDPR. The personal data will be retained for as long as they are required to fulfil the purpose of the processing. The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose.
‍
The transfer of your personal data to the USA takes place on the basis of the standard contractual clauses.
You can find more information about CloudFlare at: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/

5.4 Amazon Cloudfront

We use the Cloudfront Content Delivery Network (CDN) to deliver the website worldwide. This is a service provided by Amazon Web Services Inc, 410 Terry Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98109-5210. It makes duplicates of a website's data available on various AWS servers distributed around the world.
These servers, which are located in non-EU countries, are only accessed if this website is called up from a network in a non-EU country. This means that if you visit the website from an internet access point in Germany or the EU, the website will be loaded from our servers in Germany / the EU. Only if you visit the website from outside the EU will the website be provided by a nearest server outside the EU.
‍
This allows us to achieve faster website loading times, greater reliability and increased protection against data loss. Some of the images and files embedded on this website are then loaded from the Cloudfront CDN when the page is accessed.

Through this retrieval, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Amazon servers in other EU countries and stored there. This happens as soon as you enter our website. The use of Amazon Web Services and the Amazon CDN Cloudfront is in the interest of greater website reliability, increased protection against data loss and improved loading speed of this website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. You can find out more about the data protection measures of Amazon Web Services at: https://aws.amazon.com/de/data-protection/ You can find the current data protection declaration of AWS at: https://aws.amazon.com/de/privacy/ AWS has contractually undertaken to ensure compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU in accordance with the EU standard contractual clauses.
‍
Our website may include content from services whose companies are based in the USA. If these services are active, your personal data may be transferred to the servers of the respective companies in the USA. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country in the sense of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this.

t can therefore not be ruled out that authorities in the USA may process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on servers operated there for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

5.5 JsDelivr

We use JSDelivr CDN to properly deliver the content on our website. JSDelivr CDN is a service provided by Prospect One, which acts as a content delivery network (CDN) on our website.
‍
A CDN helps to deliver content on our website, particularly files such as graphics or scripts, more quickly using regionally or internationally distributed servers. When you access this content, you connect to servers of Prospect One, Krolewska 65a, Krakow, Malopolskie 30-081, Poland, where your IP address and possibly browser data such as your user agent are transmitted. This data is processed exclusively for the above-mentioned purposes and to maintain the security and functionality of JSDelivr CDN.
‍
The use of the Content Delivery Network is based on our legitimate interests, i.e. interest in a secure and efficient provision as well as the optimisation of our website according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. at GDPR.

jsDelivr is designed to download JavaScript libraries hosted on npm and Github servers. In order to provide this service, your browser may send personal data to jsdelivr.com. jsDelivr may therefore collect and store user data such as IP address, browser type, browser version, which web page is loaded or the time and date of the page visit.
‍
The specific storage period of the processed data cannot be influenced by us, but is determined by Prospect One. Further information can be found in the privacy policy for JSDelivr CDN: https://www.jsdelivr.com/privacy-policy-jsdelivr-net

5.6 New Relic

New Relic, Inc. from San Francisco USA is a website analysis service. With the software, website operators can monitor the speed and availability of their website. With New Relic Insights, the company also offers far-reaching possibilities for analysing user behaviour.
‍
New Relic uses cookies. When a user calls up a website that contains a New Relic plugin, his or her browser establishes a direct connection with New Relic's servers.
‍
The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by New Relic as well as the relevant rights and setting options for protecting the privacy of the users can be found in the data protection information of New Relic: https://newrelic.com/privacy.
‍
You can object to the collection and storage of data for the purpose of web analysis at any time with future effect by deactivating cookies in your browser settings.

5.7 unpkg

We use the service unpkg as a content delivery network. The files integrated via unpkg are open source and can therefore be viewed and checked at any time. The integration is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. at GDPR from the legitimate interest in enhancing our website as well as a technically secure, maintenance-free and efficient way to integrate external libraries and frameworks. As unpkg uses the hosting provider Cloudflare to provide the data, requests sent to these servers may be stored for statistical or other usage purposes. According to their own information, the collected data will be deleted within 4 hours, but at the latest after 3 days.

You can find more information about unpkg and Cloudflare's privacy policy at www.unpkg.com and www.cloudflare.com/de-de/privacypolicy/.

6. Cookies

6.1 General information about cookies

Cookies are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our site. In the cookie, information is stored that results in each case from the context of the specific end device used. This does not mean, however, that we thereby gain direct knowledge of your identity.

The use of cookies serves to make the use of our offer more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your terminal device for a certain fixed period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognized that you have already been with us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate our offer for you for the purpose of optimization. These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. The cookies set in this way are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. The respective storage period of the cookies can be found in the settings of the consent tool used.

6.2 Legal basis for the use of cookie

The data processed by the cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are thus necessary to protect our legitimate interests as well as those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

For all other cookies, it applies that you have given your consent to this via our opt-in cookie banner within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.

6.3 Usercentrics (Consent Management Tool)

We use the consent management platform "Usercentrics" of Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Str. 7, 80331 Munich, Germany. This service enables us to obtain and manage the consent of website users for data processing.

Usercentrics collects data generated by end users who use our website. When an end user provides consent, Usercentrics automatically logs the following data:

1. browser information.
2. date and time of access.
3. device information.
4. the URL, from the page visited.
5. geographic location.
6. website page path.
7 The end user's consent status, which serves as proof of consent.

The consent status is also stored in the end user's browser so that the website can automatically read and follow the end user's consent in all subsequent page requests and future end user sessions for up to 12 months. Consent data (consent and withdrawal of consent) is stored for three years. The retention period corresponds to the regular limitation period according to § 195 BGB. The data will then be deleted immediately or passed on to the responsible person in the form of a data export upon request.

The functionality of the website is not guaranteed without the described processing. There is no possibility for the user to object as long as there is a legal obligation to obtain the user's consent to certain data processing operations (Artt. 7 para. 1, 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c DS-GVO).

Usercentrics is the recipient of your personal data and acts as an order processor for us.

Detailed information on the use of Usercentrics can be found at: https://https://usercentrics.com/privacy-policy/.

6.4 Essential Cookies

7. Contents of our website

7.1 Contacting us / contact form

Personal data is collected when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Which data is collected in the case of using a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If your contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request, this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified and the deletion is not contrary to any statutory retention obligations.

7.2 Application management / job exchange

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of managing the application process. The processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form located on the website. If we conclude an employment or service contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude a contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part prevent deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with. § Section 26 (1) BDSG.We also work with the HR solution Kenjo, of Kenjo GmbH, Urbanstraße 71, 10967 Berlin ("Kenjo") for the purpose of personnel administration. This tool supports us in the management of personal data. We have concluded an order processing agreement with Kenjo in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. You can find more information on data protection here: https://www.kenjo.io/legal/privacy .

In order to accept and evaluate your application and depending on the data you provide, we may process personal data such as the ones presented below:

1. Name
2. Contact details
3. E-mail address
4. Phone number
5. Date and place of birth
6. Application photo
7. Files and documents, such as references and certificates, that you send us in connection with your application.

The data you send us in the application process will not be passed on to third parties.

8. Our activities in social networks

So that we can also communicate with you on social networks and inform you about our services, we are represented there with our own pages. If you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible for the processing operations triggered by this, within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR, with the provider of the respective social media platform.

We are not the original provider of these pages, but merely use them within the scope of the possibilities offered to us by the respective providers.

As a precaution, we therefore point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore be associated with data protection risks for you, as safeguarding your rights, e.g. to information, deletion, objection, etc., could be more difficult and processing in the social networks often takes place directly for advertising purposes or for the analysis of user behavior by the providers, without this being able to be influenced by us. If usage profiles are created by the provider, this often involves the use of cookies or the assignment of usage behavior to your own member profile of the social networks.

The described processing operations of personal data are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in order to be able to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user with the respective providers, the legal basis refers to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR in conjunction with. Art. 7 GDPR.

Since we do not have access to the providers' databases, we would like to point out that it is best to assert your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider. We have listed further information on the processing of your data in the social networks below at the respective social network provider used by us:

Further information on YouTube can be found at  https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. Within the scope of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google receive knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by you.

If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes which specific subpage of our website you are visiting when you call up a subpage that contains a YouTube plugin. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to your YouTube account. 

YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that you have visited our website if you are logged into YouTube at the same time as calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether you click on a YouTube video or not. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, you can prevent the transmission by logging out of your YouTube account before accessing our website.

10. Web analytics

10.1 Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

On our websites, we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").

In this context, pseudonymized usage profiles are created and cookies (see item "Cookies") are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website may include:

1. a short-term collection of the IP address without permanent storage.
2. location datal browser type/version
3. operating system used
4. referrer URL (previously visited page)
5. time of the server request

The pseudonymized data may be transferred by Google to a server in the USA and stored there.

The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website and internet usage for the purposes of market research and demand-oriented design of these web pages. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively when explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. 

Further information on data protection when using GA4 can be found at:  https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/12017362?hl=de.

10.2 Hubspot

We use HubSpot functions on this website. The provider is HubSpot, Inc, 25 First Street, Cambridge, MA 02141, USA.
‍
HubSpot tracks visitors to our website using browser cookies. Each time you access our website, HubSpot checks whether a HubSpot tracking cookie is set. If no such cookie is already set on your browser, a HubSpot cookie will be set on your browser - provided you give your consent to this - which will record all our web pages that you access later on.
‍
With regard to HubSpot's handling of tracking cookies, please note the following: Your visit to our websites will only be tracked using the HubSpot cookie if you have given your consent to the setting of the HubSpot cookie or all tracking cookies.
‍
If you fill out and submit one of the forms on our websites (e.g. a contact form) and have given your consent to the setting of the HubSpot cookie, HubSpot will associate your previous page views resulting from the tracking cookie with the form you submitted.
‍
If you have already been in contact with us, your email address submitted via the form will be assigned to the information already stored by us.
If you delete all your cookies or specifically the HubSpot cookies, you will be considered a new visitor on our websites and a new cookie will be set. However, HubSpot automatically duplicates all form submissions received from the same email address, even if different browser cookies have been assigned to those submissions.

Because cookies are only set once on a browser, submissions from two people sharing a single computer are assigned to the same contact record. This cookie deduplication ensures that if a contact sends forms to your website from different email addresses, all submissions are assigned to a single contact record in HubSpot.
‍
HubSpot associates page views with a contact when the contact clicks a link in a tracked marketing email that continues to a page where the HubSpot tracking code is installed. These processing operations only take place when explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. at GDPR. Your data will be stored until you withdraw your consent.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.
‍
The transfer of your personal data to the USA takes place on the basis of the standard contractual clauses.
You can find more information about HubSpot at: https://legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy

Through this tool, "website tags" (i.e. keywords that are embedded in HTML elements) can be implemented and managed via an interface. By using the Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link or personalized image you have actively clicked on and can then record which contents of our website are of particular interest to you.

The tool also triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have made a deactivation at the domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively when explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Further information on Google Tag Manager and Google's privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
