1.2. General Information and Mandatory Information

Data Protection The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens. We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the Responsible Body (Controller) The responsible body for data processing on this website is: Faserinstitut Bremen e.V. Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. David May Am Biologischen Garten 2 28359 Bremen, Germany Phone: +49 421 218 58700 E-mail: sekretariat@faserinstitut.de

The responsible body (controller) is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent already given at any time. An informal notification by e-mail to us is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR) If data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection according to Art. 21 (1) GDPR). If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct advertising (objection according to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).

Right of Appeal to the Competent Supervisory Authority In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have a right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. The right of appeal is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, 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.

SSL or TLS Encryption For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, Blocking, Deletion, and Correction Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient, and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice.

Right to Restriction of Processing You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the audit, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

1.3. Data Collection on Our Website

Cookies Some of the internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit. 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 cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited. Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you desire (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.

Server Log Files The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.

Inquiry by E-mail, Telephone, or Fax If you contact us by e-mail, telephone, or fax, your inquiry including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us. The data sent by you to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after completion of the processing of your request). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

2. Privacy Information for Applicants

Compliance with data protection regulations is a high priority for us. Below we would like to inform you about the collection and processing of your personal data:

Controller Responsible for data processing is FASERINSTITUT BREMEN e. V., Phone: +49 421 21858700, E-mail: personal@faserinstitut.de.

Purpose and Legal Basis of Data Processing We process your personal data for the purpose of deciding on the establishment of the employment relationship. Within the framework of the application process, we process personal data, in particular your contact data, such as your name and address, as well as all data associated with the application, such as CV, certificates, qualifications. If you submit an application for reimbursement of travel expenses, we also require your bank details. The legal basis for the processing of your data results from Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 (1) Sentence 1 BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act) or Art. 6 (1) Sentence 1 (b) GDPR. In addition, we collect and process personal data that you voluntarily communicate to us. The processing of this data is based on your revocable consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) Sentence 1 (a), Art. 7 GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 (2) BDSG. We are obliged to inform the works council (Betriebsrat) about the application process, to present the necessary application documents, and to provide information about the persons involved (Section 99 (1) of the Works Constitution Act). In doing so, your personal data will be transmitted to the works council for the purpose of fulfilling these participation and co-determination rights.

Type of Data and Data Source according to Art. 14 GDPR Furthermore, we reserve the right to use publicly available information about you in the selection process in addition to the application documents submitted by you. However, this only applies if such information is publicly visible on the Internet via search engines (e.g., Google). In addition, we only use such information if and to the extent that this information is suitable for making a further or confirming statement about your qualifications or your suitability for the position to be filled. This may then also include publicly viewable reporting about your person, publicly viewable user profiles (e.g., in business networks such as LinkedIn or Xing), or statements made by you on the web (“posts”) or photos, provided you have posted these yourself in a publicly accessible manner.

Recipients of Your Data We treat your data confidentially and do not transmit it to third parties. If necessary, we use service providers strictly bound by instructions who support us, e.g., in the areas of IT or the archiving and destruction of documents, and with whom separate contracts for order processing (Data Processing Agreements) have been concluded. We do not transfer your data to bodies outside the EU or the EEA.

Storage Period / Criteria for Determining the Storage Period Unless there is a statutory retention period, the data will be deleted as soon as storage is no longer necessary or the legitimate interest in storage has expired. If no hiring takes place, this is regularly the case at the latest three months after completion of the application process or after receipt of the rejection. We also delete data if you revoke your consent to the processing of your data. In individual cases, individual data may be stored for longer (e.g., travel expense accounting). The duration of storage is then determined by the statutory retention obligations, e.g., from the Tax Code (6 years) or the Commercial Code (10 years). Further storage of your data is also permissible if the further processing is necessary for us to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims after a balancing of interests.

Automated Decision-Making Since the decision on your employment relationship is not based exclusively on automated processing, no automated decision-making in individual cases within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR takes place.

Your Data Protection Rights You have the right to receive information free of charge upon request about the personal data stored about you (Art. 15 (1) GDPR). In addition, if the legal requirements are met, you have a right to correction (Art. 16 GDPR), deletion (Art. 17 GDPR), and restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) of your personal data as well as to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR). You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future if the data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) Sentence 1 (a) or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR. You have the right to object to data processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR if the data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) Sentence 1 (e) or (f) GDPR. To assert your rights, please contact the following address: sekretariat@faserinstitut.de. Pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The right of appeal can be asserted in particular with a supervisory authority in the Member State of the residence or place of work of the data subject or the place of the alleged violation.
