Due to our company size of fewer than 10 employees, we do not require a data protection officer. All employees are committed to data protection.
You have the right to request, free of charge, information about the personal data stored by us and/or to request correction, blocking, or deletion. You also have the right to restrict processing, the right to object to processing, and the right to data portability.
Exceptions: It concerns the prescribed data storage for business transactions or the data is subject to legal retention requirements.
For these purposes, please contact our managing director (contact details: see 2.). In order to be able to consider a data block at any time, it is necessary to keep the data in a blocking file for control purposes. If there is no legal archiving obligation, you can also request the deletion of the data. Otherwise, we will block the data if you so desire.
You have the opportunity to address a complaint regarding data processing to the data protection supervisory authority responsible for us.

With each access to this offering, information is automatically collected by us or the web space provider. If you only use our website to obtain information about our company, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. When you want to view our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure its stability and security (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR). These information, also known as server log files, are of a general nature and do not allow conclusions about your person:
The following data is logged:
Without this data, it would be technically partially impossible to deliver and display the contents of the website. Therefore, the collection of data is mandatory. In addition, we use the anonymous information for statistical purposes. They help us optimize the offer and technology. We also reserve the right to subsequently check the log files if there is a suspicion of illegal use of our offer.
This website uses so-called cookies. These are text files that are stored on your computer by the server. They contain information about the browser, IP address, operating system, and internet connection. We do not pass on this data to third parties or link it to personal data without your consent.
Cookies primarily serve two purposes. They help us to facilitate navigation through our offer and enable the correct display of the website. They are not used to introduce viruses or start programs.
Users have the option to access our offer without cookies. To do this, the corresponding settings must be changed in the browser. Please inform yourself about the help function of your browser on how to deactivate cookies. However, we would like to point out that this may restrict some functions of this website and limit user comfort.
To manage the cookies and similar technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and related consents, we use the Consent Tool “Real Cookie Banner”. Details on the functioning of “Real Cookie Banner” can be found at https://devowl.io/en/rcb/data-processing/.
Legal bases for the processing of personal data in this context are Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.
Providing personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary to conclude a contract. You are not obliged to provide personal data. If you do not provide personal data, we cannot manage your consents.
The websites www.aboutads.info/choices (USA) and www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices (Europe) allow you to manage online ad cookies.
b) Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. This includes in particular session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests of your browser can be assigned to the common session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.
c) Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified duration, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete the cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser.
You can configure your browser settings according to your wishes and, for example, reject the acceptance of third-party cookies or all cookies. We would like to point out that you may not be able to use all functions of this website.
We store personal data in accordance with the principles of data avoidance and data minimization only as long as it is necessary or required by law (statutory retention period). If the purpose of the information collected no longer applies or if the storage period ends, we will block or delete the data.
To ensure that our privacy policy always complies with current legal requirements, we reserve the right to make changes at any time. This also applies in the event that the privacy policy needs to be adapted due to new or revised services, for example new services. The new privacy policy will apply to your next visit to our offer.
Definition: Personal data refers to all information by which a person can be clearly identified.
These are data that can be traced back to a person. This includes the first name and surname, telephone number, and email address. Information about hobbies, memberships, preferences, and websites visited are also considered personal data. This data is only collected, used, and possibly passed on by the provider if the legislator expressly permits this or if the user consents to the collection, processing, use, and disclosure of the data.
If you want to make an appointment via email or our contact form, or if you have a question for us, the data provided by you (your email address, possibly your name and telephone number) will be stored by us in order to assign you an appointment or to answer your inquiry. We delete the data collected in this context after storage is no longer required, or restrict processing if there are legal retention obligations (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR).
If you register on our website to use personalized services, personal data is collected. This includes your name, address, telephone number, and email address as contact and communication data. Registration enables access to services and content available only to registered users. If necessary, registered users have the option to change or delete the data provided during registration at any time. Upon request, we will also inform you which personal data has been collected and stored. Furthermore, we correct or delete the data upon request, provided there are no legal retention obligations. For inquiries or requests for correction or deletion of data, please use the contact details provided in this privacy policy.
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will use the data you provided solely for this purpose or to inform you about circumstances relevant to this service or registration. We do not pass on this data to third parties. A valid (valid) email address is required to receive the newsletter. Also stored are the IP address used to register for the newsletter and the date on which the newsletter was ordered. This data serves as proof in case of abuse if a third-party email address is registered for the newsletter. Furthermore, to ensure that an email address is not fraudulently entered into our distribution list by third parties, we work in compliance with the so-called “double opt-in” procedure. Within this procedure, the newsletter subscription, sending of the confirmation email, and receipt of the registration confirmation are logged. You have the option to revoke your consent to the storage of data, your email address, and its use for newsletter dispatch at any time. For revocation, we provide a link in every newsletter and on the website. You also have the option to inform us of your revocation request via the contact options mentioned in this document. The newsletters of Schaltzeit GmbH contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such emails that are sent in HTML format to allow log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, Schaltzeit GmbH can recognize if and when an email was opened by an affected person and which links contained in the email were accessed by the affected person. Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters is stored and analyzed by the data controller in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the affected person. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Affected persons are entitled at any time to revoke their separate consent given via the double opt-in procedure in this regard. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the data controller. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is automatically interpreted by Schaltzeit GmbH as a revocation.
When you contact us via the online form or by email, we store the information you provide in order to answer your inquiry and any follow-up questions.
If comments or other contributions are written and published on our offer, we store the IP address, username, and time of creation. This data is collected for security reasons, as the provider can be held liable for illegal content (forbidden propaganda, insults, etc.), even if they were created by third parties. In such cases, the information is used to determine the identity of the author.
In order to provide paid services, we request additional data. This applies, for example, to payment details. To ensure the security of your data during transmission, we use encryption methods (such as SSL) via HTTPS, which reflect the current state of the art.
Our offer includes content, services, and services from other providers. These include, for example, maps provided by Google Maps, videos from YouTube, as well as graphics and images from other websites. In order for this data to be called up and displayed in the user’s browser, the transmission of the IP address is absolutely necessary. The providers (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) therefore perceive the IP address of the respective user. Although we endeavor to use only third-party providers who require the IP address solely to deliver the content, we have no influence on whether the IP address may be stored. In this case, this process serves, among other things, statistical purposes. If we become aware that the IP address is being stored, we will inform our users.
The controller collects and processes personal data from applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case when an applicant submits relevant application documents electronically, for example, via email or through a web form on the website, to the controller. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of handling the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded between the controller and the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, unless deletion is opposed by other legitimate interests of the controller.
Another legitimate interest in this regard may, for example, be the obligation to provide evidence in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for 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 the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example, in cases of inquiries regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of that period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, unless they are no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information on the contractual partner).
Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.
Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact our Data Protection Officer. Our Data Protection Officer clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling. The above information is based, among other things, on formulation suggestions from the model.
