2 General information on data protection

2.1 What data do we process about you?

Depending on the specific processing situation and necessity, we collect and process different types of personal data. We provide detailed information on this and/or separate data protection information or within the scope of data collection to the persons concerned.

2.2 For what purposes do we process your data and on what legal basis?

We collect and process various types of personal data depending on the specific processing situation. Processing is always carried out in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and other legal requirements. The legal bases relevant to us are set out in Art. 6 (1) as follows:

2.2.1 On the basis of your consent

If you have given us your consent for the specific processing of your personal data, we will process your personal data on this basis. Consent may relate, for example, to the transfer of data to partner companies, the evaluation of your data for targeted advertising measures or the sending of newsletters.

Consent is always voluntary. Refusal to give consent or withdrawal of consent will not have any negative consequences for you.

2.2.2 To fulfil contractual obligations

We process your personal data to fulfil contractual or quasi-contractual obligations or to establish a contract, for example for existing customer support or to answer questions from a prospective customer.

If you apply to us by post or electronically and provide us with personal data, we will process this data exclusively for the purpose of initiating a future employment relationship.

2.2.3 Due to legal obligations

Within the scope of our legal obligations, we process your personal data if this is provided for or required by law. This may include, for example, the transfer of your data to government authorities in the context of tax or criminal proceedings, the evaluation of your data for compliance with regulatory requirements, sanctions-list-checks or the provision of certain information to legal institutions.

The processing of your data on this basis is always necessary. The legal obligation to which we as an organisation are subject cannot be affected by any refusal or restriction on your part. In doing so, we guarantee that your personal data will be processed in accordance with the law and that it will be comprehensively protected.

2.2.4 On the basis of legitimate interests

We also process your personal data to protect our legitimate interests, unless your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, which require the protection of your personal data, prevail.

Subject to a balancing decision to be made in each individual case, we regularly assume that our legitimate interests prevail in the following processing situations:

for existing customer support.
to provide information about offers for services and products if we have received your name, e-mail address or postal address from you in connection with the provision of our services and/or the sale of our products.
to process your request after you have contacted us.
optimising our processes (e.g. to identify sources of error), offers and services.
maintaining a customer database within our group of companies to improve customer service.
in the context of legal proceedings in the event of suspicion or criminal offences.
to ensure the security, confidentiality and integrity of our IT systems (e.g. through security and effectiveness tests).
to process your data to test IT systems and software products, carry out migrations, and ensure the functionality of new products and the correctness and completeness of migrations.
in the event of a security incident affecting your data, we are obliged under Article 33 of the GDPR to report this immediately to the competent data protection supervisory authority. In our legitimate interest to comply with this legal obligation as quickly as possible, it may be necessary to process your personal data while investigating the incident. However, no personal data about you will be transmitted in the reports to the data protection supervisory authority.
to carry out internal audits, internal reviews and other control measures (e.g. reviews by the data protection or information security officer) to comply with legal requirements, ensure transparency in our business processes and continuously improve them. In doing so, it may be necessary to process documents or files containing your personal data.
for corporate management and to comply with our financial and tax obligations (e.g. reporting, audits, internal revisions and other control measures, e.g. by tax authorities and commissioned auditors as well as tax advisors and auditors).
to maintain a block list to implement the objection to processing in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR.

2.3 From whom do we receive your data?

As a matter of principle, we process your personal data that you have provided yourself or that has been collected from you. Where necessary, we collect personal data from external sources (see “To whom do we pass on your data?”). We may refer to other sources in a separate section. Processing is only carried out, based on a valid legal basis.

2.4 Who do we share your data with?

2.4.1 Companies, agencies and partners

As a matter of principle, we only share your personal data if this is necessary for the establishment, implementation or termination of a contract or contractual relationship. In these cases, data is only shared with companies affiliated with us or with partners and representatives. Partners and representatives are mostly independent sales representatives who distribute our goods and services in the United Kingdom and abroad. When you contact us, we share the information you provide with the relevant regional company so that it can offer you our products and services in the best possible way, depending on your needs and the region you are in.

The national companies of the IMS Group include:

2.4.2 Processors and third parties

On our instructions, your personal data may be processed by processors if their involvement is necessary for processing. In such cases, we ensure that your personal data is processed in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR. Processors in this context include, for example, IT service providers, waste disposal companies, etc. In addition, these processors are contractually obliged to either delete the data in accordance with the legal requirements or return it to us upon termination of their services.

Your data will only be transferred and disclosed to external recipients if this is permitted or required by law.

Your data may be disclosed to the following recipients:

Public authorities and institutions as well as law enforcement agencies that receive data based on legal regulations (e.g. tax office, auditors, courts, employment agency, customs, etc.).
in the event of a legal dispute or suspicion of a criminal offence (e.g. courts, opposing lawyers, authorities, contractual partners, consultants, business partners, opposing parties, insofar as this is necessary to exercise our rights).
Tax advisors, auditors, data protection officers, information security officers or legal advisors.
Payment service providers for the processing of a payment transaction (e.g. financial institutions, payment services).
Debt collection agencies or credit agencies, insofar as this is necessary to exercise our rights.

Printing and logistics companies, telecommunications service providers, delivery services, the recipient’s e-mail provider and data carrier disposal service providers.

2.5 Information on the transfer of data to third countries

In our organisation, we use services from providers based in countries outside the European Economic Area where there is no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU. When using these services, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. We ensure that this transfer only takes place in compliance with Art. 44 ff. of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to ensure an adequate level of protection for your data.

2.6 Storage period

Unless an explicit or statutory storage period is specified at the time of collection, your personal data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose of storage and there are no statutory retention obligations or legal justifications for storage.

If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial law retention periods). in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.

3 Your rights as a data subject

In accordance with data protection regulations, we would like to inform you about your rights as a data subject. These rights are essential components of data protection and guarantee you control over your personal data. It is important to us that you are aware of your rights and understand how you can exercise them to protect your privacy and the integrity of your data. Below you will find a detailed breakdown of your rights and information on how you can exercise them if necessary.

3.1 Information, correction and deletion

You have the right to obtain information about your personal data processed by us. This includes information about the source of the data, the recipients and the purpose of processing. You also have the right to have this data corrected or deleted if necessary.

3.2 Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request a restriction of the processing of your personal data. This right is applicable under the following conditions:

Accuracy of the data: If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data and verification is required.
Unlawful processing: If the processing is unlawful, you refuse to have it deleted and instead request a restriction on its use.
Cessation of the purpose of processing, but necessity for legal claims: If the controller no longer needs the data for the purposes of processing, you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
Objection to processing: If you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and it is still being assessed whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh your reasons.

During the restriction, your data may, apart from storage, only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.

3.3 Right to data portability

You have the right, in accordance with existing legal provisions, to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, widely used and machine-readable format. This right also allows you to have this data transferred directly from one controller to another, if this is technically feasible. This applies in cases where the processing is based on consent or a contract and is carried out by automated means.

3.4 Right to object to data collection in specific cases

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time if it is based on Article 6(1)(f). This provision allows data processing based on the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, unless your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms requiring the protection of personal data prevail.

You have the unrestricted right to object to the processing of your personal data for advertising purposes at any time. This includes direct marketing. Once you object, the processing of your data for these purposes will cease. This right is absolute and results in the immediate cessation of the relevant data processing.

Individuals have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that have legal effects on them or similarly significantly affect them.

The right to object also extends to profiling insofar as it is related to direct marketing.

3.5 Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

You have the right to withdraw your consent to processing based on your explicit consent at any time for the future. However, this withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of data processing that took place before your withdrawal.

3.6 Contact details for exercising your rights as a data subject

You can assert your rights and, if necessary, lodge your objection informally by post or e-mail, addressed to:

IMS Messsysteme GmbH

Dieselstraße 55

Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping basket function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, for the provision of certain functions requested by you (e.g. for the shopping basket function) or for the optimisation of the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services.

To do this, the chatbots analyse your input as well as other data to provide appropriate answers (e.g. names, e-mail addresses and other contact details, customer numbers and other identifiers, orders and chat histories). Furthermore, your IP address, log files, location information and other metadata may be collected via the chatbot. This data is stored on the chatbot provider’s servers.

We use Pipedrive as our chatbot. The provider is Pipedrive GmbH, Mustamäe tee 3a, 10615 Tallinn, Estonia (hereinafter “Pipedrive”).

User profiles can be created based on the data collected. In addition, the data can be used to display interest-based advertising, provided that the other legal requirements (in particular consent) for this are met. For this purpose, the chatbots can be linked to analysis and advertising tools.

The data collected can also be used to improve our chatbot and its response behaviour (machine learning).

The data you enter during communication will remain with us or the chatbot provider until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been processed).

You can revoke your consent to the storage of data, your e-mail address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose has ceased to exist. We reserve the right to delete or block e-mail addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interests and our interests in complying with the legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Rapidmail is a service that can be used to organise and analyse the sending of newsletters, among other things. 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, e-mails sent with Rapidmail contain a so-called “tracking pixel” that connects to Rapidmail’s servers when the e-mail 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 on. All links in the e-mail are so-called tracking links, which can be used to count your clicks. If you do not want Rapidmail to analyse your data, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter.

It is not assigned to a user ID.

Furthermore, we can use Google Analytics to record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks, among other things. Google Analytics also uses various modelling approaches to supplement the collected data sets and uses machine learning technologies in data analysis.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable user recognition for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

5 Data processing in the context of the application process

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us via the following channels:

by e-mail to bewerbung@ims-gmbh.de
via our careers website https://karriere.ims-gmbh.de/

Below, we provide information about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that your data will be collected, processed and used in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions, and that your data will be treated as strictly confidential.

We use the applicant management system provided by New Work SE (https://onlyfy.com/de/impressum/), a company based in Germany that offers and operates an applicant management system (onlyfy by XING). Further information on the operator’s data protection policy can be found at https://onlyfy.com/de/datenschutz/.

The data transmitted as part of your application is transferred using TLS encryption and stored in a database. The company conducting this online application process is solely responsible for this data within the meaning of Art. 24 GDPR. New Work SE is the operator of the platform and our recruitment page and, in this context, is a processor within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR. The basis for processing by New Work SE is a contract for order processing between us, the responsible body, and New Work SE. In addition, New Work SE processes further data, some of which may also be personal data, for the purpose of providing its services, in particular for the operation of the recruitment site. For all information on the scope and purpose of data collection and the retention period for the data, please refer to the data protection information in the application form. We assure you that your data will be treated as strictly confidential.

An improper application, e.g. by e-mail, can be processed, but we cannot guarantee that the documents will be processed in a timely manner.

To ensure a data protection-compliant application process, we therefore ask you to always apply via our recruitment page.

5.1 Scope and purpose of data collection

When you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents and notes taken during interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide whether to establish an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation) in conjunction with § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship). If you claim reimbursement of travel expenses, we will process your associated personal data (e.g. bank details, details of travel expenses claimed, etc.). The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR (fulfilment of legal obligations), if you have given us your consent – Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time with future effect. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to people involved in processing your application.

If you provide links to your social media profiles in your application, we reserve the right to view them as part of the selection process.

If you provide us with information about your previous employers or name a reference person, we may contact them with your express consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) to obtain a recommendation or assessment of you. This is done based on our legitimate interest in including such references in the decision-making process (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

5.2 Inclusion in the applicant pool

If we do not offer you a job, we may 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 if a suitable vacancy arises.

Inclusion in the applicant pool is based exclusively on your express consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Consent is voluntary and is not related to the current application process. The data subject may revoke their consent at any time. In this case, the data will be deleted from the applicant pool immediately, provided there are no legal reasons for retention.

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

5.3 Data retention period

If we are unable to offer you a position, you decline a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to store the data you have provided based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. The storage serves for verification purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the use of the data will be necessary after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose of further storage no longer applies.

Longer storage may also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

5.4 Job portals, recruitment agencies and the Federal Employment Agency

In certain cases, we commission recruiters or use application portals to advertise job vacancies or to directly approach applicants. Depending on the individual case or the respective channel, the above-mentioned data may be collected directly from you or via the respective recruiter and/or transmitted to us. In addition, we receive applicant profiles with contact details from the Federal Employment Agency in accordance with Section 38 (2) of the German Social Code (SGB III).

5.5 Online job interviews

As part of the application process, we offer interested parties the opportunity to conduct interviews via a video conferencing tool. This allows for contactless interaction and helps to overcome geographical distances. The video or audio material is not recorded or stored at any time. Applicants are free to switch off the camera function before or during the interview. The applicant may decline the video interview without giving reasons. In this case, a mutually acceptable alternative will be sought.

When using a video conferencing tool, the transfer of data to a third country (in particular the USA) cannot be ruled out. The legal basis for processing is consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time.

6 Data processing in other cases

6.1 Enquiries by e-mail, telephone or fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request.

This data is processed based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided that your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested. consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send via contact enquiries will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Personal details (first name and surname).
Company name.
Contact details (telephone number, e-mail address)

6.6 Newsletter dispatch to existing customers

If you order goods or services from us and provide your e-mail address, we may subsequently use this e-mail address to send you newsletters, if we inform you of this in advance. In such cases, the newsletter will only be used to send direct advertising for our own similar goods or services. You can unsubscribe from this newsletter at any time. For this purpose, each newsletter contains a corresponding unsubscribe-link. The legal basis for sending the newsletter in this case is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR in conjunction with § 7 (3) UWG.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored in a blacklist to prevent future mailings to you. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interests and our interests in complying with the legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). There is no time limit for storage in the blacklist. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

6.7 Video surveillance at our location

The storage period is 72 hours. Recordings required for the purpose of preserving evidence are stored for as long as necessary for legal prosecution.

The recordings can be viewed by the service provider (processor) during maintenance of the system.

The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the European General Data Protection Regulation (overriding legitimate interest). Insofar as special categories of personal data are processed, this is done based on Art. 9(2)(f) in conjunction with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

7 Our social media presence

7.1 Data processing by social networks

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The specific social networks we use are listed below.

Social networks can usually analyse your user behaviour 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 presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection is carried out, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.
With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you both within and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.
Please also note that we cannot track all processing operations on social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media portals.

7.2 Legal basis

Our social media presence is intended to ensure the most comprehensive presence possible on the internet. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by 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 Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

7.3 Responsible party and assertion of rights

When you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and 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 are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.

7.4 Storage period

The data collected directly by us via our social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request us to do so, 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 on the storage period of your data 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 data protection information, see below).
