Purposes and legal basis of data processing, according to Art. 13 para. (1) lit. c) GDPR
The personal data is processed for the purpose of fulfilling contracts or for carrying out pre-contractual measures. This includes customer master data with contact persons as well as contact history, offers, orders, invoices, project data and other legal obligations of the controller. 


The legal basis arises from Art. 6 GDPR. Other essential legal bases arise from the German Commercial Code, tax legislation, the German Limited Liability Company Act and other legal requirements relevant to Schaeff Maschinen GmbH & Co. KG. These also include contractual regulations. Newsletters are processed on the basis of the consent of the data subject. 

Processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party in accordance with Art. 13 (1) lit. d) GDPR 
If necessary, we will process your data beyond the actual fulfillment of the contract to protect the legitimate interests of us or third parties. These include: 
• Sales management and sales controlling 
• Asserting legal claims and defending in legal disputes 
• Ensuring IT security and IT operations 
• Measures to ensure building and facility security (e.g. access controls) and to protect house rules 
• Measures for business management and further development 


Categories of recipients of personal data (data transfer) according to Art. 13 para. (1) lit. e) GDPR   
Within Germany, the European Union and the European Economic Area of Germany: auditors, bailiffs and other creditors as well as other government agencies to fulfill legal obligations and for requested certificates, logistics companies, customers as well as suppliers and other bodies and business partners.

In the context of international business relations, the transmission takes place in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b for the performance of contracts or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. No adequacy decision is required for this.   


Storage period according to Art. 13 para. (2) lit a)   
The respective purposes arise from legal requirements and from relevant industry-specific regulations. The personal data will be deleted once the purpose has been achieved.   

Rights of data subjects according to Art. 13 para. (2) lit b)   
You can exercise your rights at any time using the contact details provided above. If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:   

Information on the rights of those affected   

The data subject has the right to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed; where this is the case, he or she has the right to access the personal data and to receive the information specified in Article 15 of the GDPR.   
The data subject has the right to request the controller to immediately rectify inaccurate personal data concerning him or her and, where applicable, to complete incomplete personal data (Article 16 GDPR). The data subject has the right to request the controller to immediately erase personal data concerning him or her if one of the reasons listed in Article 17 GDPR applies, e.g. if the data is no longer required for the purposes pursued (right to erasure).   


The data subject has the right to request the controller to restrict processing if one of the conditions listed in Art. 18 GDPR is met, e.g. if the data subject has objected to processing, for the duration of the controller's review.   

The data subject has the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning him or her at any time for reasons related to his or her particular situation. The controller will then no longer process the personal data unless he or she can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (Article 21 GDPR).   

Rights of data subjects according to Art. 13 para. (2) lit. c) GDPR   
If you have given us your consent to process personal data for certain purposes (e.g. processing images of the data subjects), the legality of this processing is based on your consent. Consent can be revoked at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent that were given to us before the GDPR came into force, i.e. before May 25, 2018. Please note that the revocation only takes effect for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected.   

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 13 para. (2) lit. d) GDPR   
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, every data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data concerning him or her infringes the GDPR (Article 77 GDPR). The data subject may assert this right with a supervisory authority in the Member State of his or her habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement.   

In Baden-Württemberg the responsible supervisory authority is:   
The State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing.

8. Own services


A
pplications
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by email, post or via online application form). Below we will inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected 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 will be treated as strictly confidential.

 
Scope and purpose of data collection
If you send us an application, we will process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes from job interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the new Federal Data Protection Act under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation) and - if you have given your consent - Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to people who are involved in processing your application.

 
If the application is successful, the data you submit will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 of the new Federal Data Protection Act and Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter b of GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

 
Retention period of the data
If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer, withdraw your application, revoke your consent to data processing or ask us to delete the data, the data you have submitted, including any remaining physical application documents, will be stored or kept for a maximum of 6 months after completion of the application process (retention period) in order to be able to understand the details of the application process in the event of discrepancies (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

You can object to this storage if you have legitimate interests that outweigh our interests.

 
After the retention period has expired, the data will be deleted unless there is a statutory retention obligation or other legal reason for continued storage. If it is apparent that your data will need to be retained after the retention period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the data has become irrelevant. Other statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.
