      1. Collection of Personal Data from sources other than the Data Subject himself or herself (Art 14 GDPR)

       

      Purpose and legal basis

       

      If we process your Personal Data we usually collect Personal Data from you, and it is usually you who provides us with this Personal Data. Nevertheless, in individual cases, we may also obtain Personal Data from other sources. These other sources are publicly available, such as information we obtain from the Internet.

       

      Processed Personal Data

       

      The Personal Data we obtain from third sources about you which is stored in our systems is limited to:

       

      Identifiers (CCPA Category A)

      • contact information (e-mail address and telephone number, postal address)

       

      Professional or employment-related information (CCPA Category I)

      • your function in the company
      • your professional career
      • and your assignment to or responsibility for a particular company (usually your employer, any affiliated company or for another reason with this related company)

       

      if you have not disclosed that information to us as part of the communication.

       

      If you are an applicant, we can also process the following information about you from publicly available sources:

       

      Personal information categories listed in the California Customer Records statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e)) (CCPA Category B)

      • your education,
      • professional and academic career
      • publications written by you

       

      However, we usually ask you directly if you can provide us with this information if we could not find it in your application documents.

       

      This Processing is based on our Legitimate Interest in a complete set of Personal Data required for professional communication, Contract Performance, our business relationships and the application process, depending on the relationship we have with you.

       

       

      1. Data security

       

      We handle Personal Data only as permitted by data protection regulations. We use a variety of technical and organizational measures to help protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, loss or destruction in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

       

      If we store or process Personal Data, it occurs in a high-security data center. In order to protect the security of your Personal Data during transfer, we use encryption techniques (e.g., SSL) over HTTPS. Our servers are secured by firewall and virus protection. Back-up and recovery procedures as well as roles and authorization policies are a given for us.

      When handling Personal Data, our employees are obliged to comply with the regulations of the GDPR and the CCPA.

       

       

      1. What are your rights with respect to Processing of Personal Data?

       

      • Rights under CCPA and GDPR.

       

      CCPA, GDPR and other applicable data protection laws protect certain rights for Data Subjects. In particular:

       

      Right of Access - right to obtain confirmation of which of your Personal Data is processed and information about it, for instance, which are the purposes of the Processing, what are the conservation periods, among others.

       

      Right to Erasure or "right to be forgotten" - right to erase your Personal Data, provided that there are no valid grounds for its retention, for example in cases where we have to keep the Personal Data to comply with legal obligation or because a court case is in progress.

       

      Right to Data Portability - right to receive the Personal Data you have provided us in a digital format of current use and automatic reading or to request the direct transmission of your Personal Data to another entity that becomes the new responsible for your Personal Data, however only if technically possible.

       

      • Rights exclusively under GDPR

       

      The GDPR protects further rights fur Data Subjects in the European Union:

       

      Right of Rectification - right to request modification of your Personal Data that is inaccurate or request incomplete Personal Data, such as the address, VAT, email, telephone contacts, or others.

       

      Right to Withdraw Consent or Right of Opposition - right to object or withdraw consent at any time to Processing, for example in the case of Processing for marketing purposes, provided that no Legitimate Interests exist prevailing over your interests, rights and freedoms, such as defending a right in a judicial process.

       

      Right of Limitation - right to request the limitation of the Processing of your Personal Data, in the form of: (i) suspension of Processing or (ii) limitation of the scope of Processing to certain categories of Personal Data or purposes of Processing.

       

      Right to object and ADM - When the Processing of Personal Data, including the Processing for the definition of profiles, is exclusively automatic (without human intervention) and may have effects in your legal sphere or significantly affect it, you shall have the right not to remain subject to any decision based on such automatic Processing, except as otherwise provided by law and shall have the right that we take appropriate measures to safeguard its rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including the right to have human intervention in decision making by us, the right to express its point of view or contest the decision taken on the basis of automated individual information Processing.

       

      Right to complain - right to complain to the supervisory authority, in addition to us.

       

      For rights asserted by Data Subjects from the EU under the GDPR the period for handling a request is 30 days unless it is a particularly complex request.

       

      Once the retention period expires, Personal Data shall be deleted. Therefore, the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification and the right to data portability cannot be enforced after expiration of the retention period.

       

      • Rights exclusively under CCPA

       

      The exercise of rights is free of charge, except in the case of a manifestly unfounded or excessive request, in which case a reasonable fee may be charged regarding its costs.

       

      The information must be provided in writing but may be given orally if requested. In this case, we should verify your identity by means other than oral.

       

      The response to requests based on the provisions of the CCPA should be provided within a maximum of 45 days. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

       

       

       

      1. Non-Discrimination

       

      We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your  rights. Unless for a good and reasonable cause and unless permitted by law, we will not:

       

      • deny you goods or services.
      • charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
      • provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
      • suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
