The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with applicable data protection laws and this Privacy Policy.

When you use this website, various types of personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Retention Period
Personal data is generally stored only for as long as is necessary for the respective purposes of processing. Where specific retention periods apply to individual processing operations, these are specified separately in the relevant sections of this Privacy Policy.

If no specific retention period is mentioned in a section, the duration of storage is determined by the following criteria:

  • the respective purpose of the processing,
  • the duration of existing contractual or business relationships,
  • statutory retention or documentation obligations,
  • the necessity to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Personal data is deleted as soon as the respective purpose of processing no longer applies and there are no legal grounds for further storage. In certain cases, we may also be legally obligated to delete personal data.

Storage beyond this period may occur, in particular, if statutory retention obligations exist or if further processing is necessary to fulfill legal obligations.

Furthermore, personal data will be deleted if the respective legal basis for processing no longer applies, for example in the event of a revocation of previously granted consent, provided that no other legal grounds preclude deletion.

If personal data is to be further processed in the future for a purpose other than that originally intended, data subjects will be informed of this prior to such further processing in accordance with the legal requirements set forth in Article 13(3) of the GDPR.

General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing on This Website
If you have consented to the data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, provided that special categories of data as defined in Article 9(1) of the GDPR are being processed. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Article 49(1)(a) of the GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on Section 25(1) of the German Telemedia Act (TDDDG). Consent may be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.

Phone: +49 159 01853309
Email: bavius-technologie@datenschutz-zoellner.de

Recipients of Personal Data
As part of our business operations, we collaborate with various external parties. In some cases, this requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure of data. When using data processors, we only transfer our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The specific legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this Privacy Policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data in question unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims (objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place where the alleged violation occurred. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract provided to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Access, Rectification, and Erasure
Within the scope of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, as well as, where applicable, the right to have this data rectified or erased. You may contact us at any time regarding this matter or any other questions about personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You may contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
  • 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 erasure.
  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of your interests against ours must be carried out. 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, such data may—apart from storage—be processed only with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

7. Our Services

Handling of Applicant Data
We offer you the opportunity to apply for a position with us (e.g., via email, mail, or our online application form). Below, we provide information regarding the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected 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) under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation) and—provided you have given your consent—Art. 6(1)(a) 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 your application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems pursuant to Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for the purpose of establishing the employment relationship.

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). Thereafter, the data will be deleted and the physical application documents will be 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 Candidate Pool
If we do not offer you a position, we may include you in our candidate pool. If you are included, all documents and information from your application will be transferred to the candidate pool so that we can contact you if suitable vacancies arise.

Inclusion in the applicant pool is based exclusively on your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Providing consent is voluntary and has no bearing on the ongoing application process. The data subject may withdraw their consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, provided there are no legal grounds for retention.

The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent is given.
