6. Newsletter
Newsletter Data
If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and consent to receiving the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use newsletter service providers described below to manage the newsletter.
Rapidmail
This website uses Rapidmail to send newsletters. The provider is rapidmail GmbH, Augustinerplatz 2, 79098 Freiburg i.Br., Germany.
Rapidmail is a service that allows, among other things, the sending of newsletters to be organized and analyzed. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter is stored on Rapidmail’s servers in Germany.
Data Analysis by Rapidmail
For analysis purposes, emails sent via Rapidmail contain a so-called
“tracking pixel” that connects to Rapidmail’s servers when the email is
opened. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been
opened.
Furthermore, with the help of Rapidmail, we can determine whether and which links in the newsletter message are clicked. All links in the email are so-called tracking links, which allow your clicks to be counted. If you do not want your data analyzed by Rapidmail, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a corresponding link for this purpose in every newsletter message.
For more information on Rapidmail’s analytics features, please visit the following link:https://de.rapidmail.wiki/kategorien/statistiken/.
Legal Basis
Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke
this consent at any time. The lawfulness of data processing operations that
have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you
unsubscribe from the newsletter, at which point it will be deleted from the
newsletter distribution list. Data stored by us for other purposes remains
unaffected by this.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider on a blacklist, if necessary, to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used solely for this purpose and is not combined with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements regarding the sending of newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Storage on the blacklist is not time-limited. You may object to this storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
For more details, please refer to Rapidmail’s data security information at: https://www.rapidmail.de/datensicherheit.
Data Processing
We have entered into a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) for the use of the
aforementioned service. This is a contract required by data protection law
that ensures the service provider processes the personal data of our website
visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the
GDPR.

7. Plugins and Tools
YouTube with enhanced privacy
This website embeds videos from the YouTube website. The website operator is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
When you visit one of these websites where YouTube is embedded, a connection is established with YouTube’s servers. In doing so, the YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, videos played in enhanced privacy mode are not used to personalize your browsing experience on YouTube. Ads displayed in enhanced privacy mode are also not personalized. No cookies are set in enhanced privacy mode. Instead, however, so-called local storage elements are stored in the user’s browser; these contain personal data similar to cookies and can be used for recognition purposes. Details on enhanced privacy mode can be found here:https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780.
In some cases, activating a YouTube video may trigger further data processing operations over which we have no control.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of presenting our online offerings in an appealing manner. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG.

The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place.
In this context, Google acts solely as a data processor within the meaning of Article 28 of the GDPR and will not use the data collected in this manner for its own purposes. The use of the tool is based on a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Google.
The storage and analysis of the data are based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated scanning and from SPAM. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG.

9. Our Own Services
Handling of Applicant Data
We offer you the opportunity to apply for a position with us (e.g., by email, mail, or via our online application form). Below, we provide information about the scope, purpose, and use of the personal data collected from you during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data are carried out in accordance with applicable data protection laws and all other legal provisions, and that your data will be treated as strictly confidential.
Scope and Purpose of Data Collection
When you submit an application to us, we process your associated personal
data (e.g., contact and communication details, application documents, notes
taken during interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide on the
establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is
Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) (initiation of
an employment relationship), Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (general contract
initiation), and—provided you have given your consent—Article 6(1)(a) of the
GDPR. Consent may be revoked at any time. Your personal data will be shared
within our company exclusively with persons involved in processing your
application.
If the application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.
As part of the application process, we may also conduct an online search regarding you. This primarily includes Google searches, 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 Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
Data Retention Period
If we are unable to offer you a position, you decline a job offer, or you
withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have
provided for up to 6 months from the conclusion of the application process
(rejection or withdrawal of the application) based on our legitimate
interests (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). The data will then be deleted and
the physical application documents destroyed. The retention serves, in
particular, as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it becomes
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 not take
place until the purpose for continued retention no longer applies.
Data may also be retained for a longer period if you have provided your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
Inclusion in the applicant pool
If we do not offer you a position, there may be the option to include you in
our applicant pool. If you are included, all documents and information from
your application will be transferred to the applicant pool so that we can
contact you in the event of suitable vacancies.
Inclusion in the applicant pool is based exclusively on your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Providing consent is voluntary and is unrelated to the ongoing application process. The data subject may withdraw their consent at any time. In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool, provided there are no legal grounds for retention.
Data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent is given.
9.2 Processing of personal data of customers, suppliers, and business partners
• To carry out pre-contractual measures or to initiate a sales contract or a business relationship. This processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. You may object to the storage of your data at any time; in that case, we will delete your data unless statutory retention periods still apply.
• For the performance of a contract and for customer service. This processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures. The data will be deleted upon termination of the business relationship, unless statutory retention periods still apply. Such periods arise, among other things, from tax regulations and can extend up to ten years.
9.3 Transfer of Data
We may transfer your personal data to other companies to the extent that this is permissible or necessary within the scope of the stated purposes and legal bases. Furthermore, personal data is processed on our behalf by external service providers, particularly in the fields of information technology and data processing, based on data processing agreements pursuant to Article 28 of the GDPR. Under no circumstances will your data be transferred outside the EU.
We also transfer customer data and purchase contract data to our affiliated companies strictly for specific purposes and only to the extent necessary. The transfer and processing of customers’ personal data within the ocono Group is carried out for internal administrative purposes. The legal basis for the processing of personal data in connection with the data transfer is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, whereby our legitimate interest arises from the improvement of internal data exchange for the purpose of optimizing and simplifying administration within the Group.
9.4 Storage of Data
Your personal data will only be stored for as long as knowledge of the data is necessary for the purposes of the contractual relationship or the purposes for which it was collected, or as long as statutory or contractual retention requirements exist. Statutory retention periods arise, among other things, from social security and tax law regulations and can extend up to eight years for tax-relevant documents and records.
10. Our Social Media Presence
10.1 Data Processing by Social Networks
We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The specific social networks we use are listed below.
Social networks such as Facebook, X, etc., can generally analyze your user behavior comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., “Like” buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media presences triggers numerous data processing operations relevant to data protection. Specifically:
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media page, the operator of the social media platform may associate this visit with your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected even if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, data collection occurs, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.
Using the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media platforms can create user profiles that store your preferences and interests. This allows interest-based advertising to be displayed to you both within and outside the respective social media platform. If you have an account with the respective social network, the interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are logged in or have been logged in.
Please also note that we cannot track all processing activities on social media platforms. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media platforms. For details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media platforms.
Legal Basis
Our social media presence is intended to ensure the most comprehensive
online presence possible. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the
meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social
networks may be based on different legal grounds, which must be specified by
the operators of the social networks (e.g., consent within the meaning of
Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR).
Data Controller and Exercising Rights
When you visit one of our social media pages (e.g., Facebook), we are
jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the
data processing operations triggered by that visit. You may generally
exercise your rights (right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction
of processing, data portability, and the right to lodge a complaint) both
against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal
(e.g., against Facebook).
Please note that, despite our joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options depend largely on the corporate policy of the respective provider.
Retention Period
The data collected directly by us via our social media presence is deleted
from our systems as soon as you request deletion, revoke your consent to
storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies
remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions—in
particular retention periods—remain unaffected.
We have no influence over the storage period of your data that is stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g., in their privacy policy, see below).
Your Rights
You have the right at any time to receive information free of charge
regarding the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data.
You also have the right to object, the right to data portability, and the
right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
Furthermore, you may request the correction, blocking, deletion, and, under
certain circumstances, the restriction of the processing of your personal
data.
