Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do this. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases :

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to check this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its erasure.
If you have lodged an objection in accordance with 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 establishment, 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 European Union or of a Member State.

6.6 Google Ads

We have integrated Google Ads on our website. Google Ads is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place adverts both in Google's search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows an advertiser to pre-define certain keywords that are used to display an advert in Google's search engine results only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the adverts are distributed on relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.

The operating company of the Google Ads services is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

The purpose of Google Ads is to advertise our website by displaying interest-relevant adverts on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and by displaying third-party adverts on our website.

If a data subject reaches our website via a Google advert, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on the data subject's IT system by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping basket of an online shop system, have been accessed on a website. The conversion cookie enables both us and Google to track whether a data subject who has reached our website via a Google Ads ad has generated a sale, i.e. completed or cancelled a purchase.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via Google Ads advertisements, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective Google Ads advertisement and to optimise our Google Ads advertisements for the future. Neither our company nor other Google advertising customers receive information from Google that could be used to identify the data subject.

The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may share this personal data collected through the technical process with third parties.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the use of cookies by us at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently deny the use of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used prevents Google from placing a conversion cookie on the data subject's IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Ads can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programmes.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the Internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

6.7 LinkedIn Ads

We have integrated LinkedIn Ads on our website. LinkedIn Ads is a service provided by LinkedIn Corporation that displays targeted advertising to users. LinkedIn Ads uses cookies and other browser technologies to evaluate user behaviour and recognise users. LinkedIn Ads collects information about visitor behaviour on various websites. This information is used to optimise the relevance of advertising. LinkedIn Ads also delivers targeted advertising based on behavioural profiles and geographical location. Your IP address and other identification features such as your user agent are transmitted to the provider. In this case, your data will be passed on to the operator of LinkedIn Ads, LinkedIn Corporation, Sunnyvale, California, US.
Web tracking technologies are used to create pseudonymised user profiles. These profiles cannot be merged with you as a natural person, but are used, for example, for segmentation when displaying adverts.
The use of LinkedIn Ads is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG.
We intend to transfer personal data to third countries outside the European Economic Area, in particular the USA. The data transfer to the USA is carried out in accordance with Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR on the basis of the adequacy decision of the European Commission. The US companies involved and/or their US subcontractors are certified in accordance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF).
In cases where no adequacy decision by the European Commission exists (including US companies that are not certified under the EU-U.S. DPF), we have agreed other appropriate safeguards with the recipients of the data within the meaning of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR have been agreed. Unless otherwise stated, these are standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission in accordance with Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021. You can view a copy of these standard contractual clauses at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32021D0914&from=DE.

In addition, before such a third country transfer, we obtain your consent in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a. GDPR, which you give via the consent in the Consent Manager (or other forms, registrations, etc.). We would like to point out that in the case of third country transfers, there may be risks that are unknown in detail (e.g. data processing by security authorities in the third country, the exact scope and consequences of which for you we do not know, over which we have no influence and of which you may not become aware).
The specific storage period of the processed data cannot be influenced by us, but is determined by LinkedIn Corporation. Further information can be found in the privacy policy for LinkedIn Ads: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?trk=homepage-basic_footer-privacy-policy.

7 Newsletter

7.1 Newsletter data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No other data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The data entered in the newsletter registration form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the 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 that have already taken place remains unaffected by the cancellation.

We use the service HubSpot, 25 First Street, 2nd Floor, Cambridge, MA 02141, United States, to send our newsletters. If you register for the newsletter, you will receive a subscription in HubSpot.

Your personal data is stored on HubSpot's servers for this purpose. HubSpot uses this information to send and analyse the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore, according to its own information, HubSpot may use this data to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimise the sending and presentation of the newsletter or for economic purposes in order to determine which countries the recipients come from. HubSpot does not pass the data on to third parties.

The newsletters also contain a so-called "web-beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the server of the dispatch service provider when the newsletter is opened. As part of this retrieval, technical information such as information about the browser, your IP address and the time of retrieval is initially collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups based on the retrieval locations, which can be determined with the help of the IP address, or the access times.

The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to individual recipients. The evaluations are only used to recognise the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users. The individual users are not spied on or observed. We are interested in using a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves both our business interests and the expectations of our users. Further information can be found in the HubSpot privacy policy (HubSpot Privacy Policy).

The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose no longer applies. 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 in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

There you will also find information on how to contact LinkedIn and on the settings options for advertisements. The data usage guidelines are available at the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

When you access a LinkedIn page, the IP address assigned to your end device is transmitted to LinkedIn. According to LinkedIn, a "German" IP address is anonymised and deleted after 90 days. LinkedIn also stores information about the end devices of its users. This may enable LinkedIn to assign IP addresses to individual users. LinkedIn does not clearly state how LinkedIn uses the data from visits to LinkedIn pages for its own purposes, to what extent activities on the LinkedIn page are assigned to individual users, how long LinkedIn stores this data and whether data from a visit to the LinkedIn page is passed on to third parties, and we are not aware of this. If you are currently logged in to LinkedIn as a user, a cookie with your identifier is stored on your device. This allows LinkedIn to track that you have visited this page and how you have used it. This also applies to all other LinkedIn pages.

LinkedIn buttons on websites enable LinkedIn to record your visits to these websites and assign them to your LinkedIn profile. This data can be used to offer you customised content or advertising. If you want to avoid this, you should log out of LinkedIn or deactivate the "stay logged in" function, delete the cookies on your device and close and restart your browser. This will delete LinkedIn information that can be used to directly identify you. This allows you to use our LinkedIn page without revealing your LinkedIn identifier. When you access interactive functions on the site, a LinkedIn login screen will appear.

After logging in, you will again be recognisable to LinkedIn as a specific user.

This LinkedIn page is operated in order to present ABS Team to LinkedIn users and other interested persons who visit this LinkedIn page, to present information regarding recruitment opportunities at ABS Team and to communicate with users.

11 Applicants

In the course of your application, we will collect and process the following personal application data from you:
Surname, first name, address, telephone number, e-mail, application documents (letter of application, CV, references, certificates, etc.).

Your personal application data is collected and processed exclusively for the purpose of filling vacancies within our company. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is primarily § 26 BDSG. This permits the processing of data required in connection with the decision to establish an employment relationship.

Should the data be required for legal prosecution after completion of the application process, data processing may be carried out on the basis of the requirements of Art. 6 GDPR, in particular to safeguard legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our interest then lies in the assertion or defence of claims.

Your data will only be forwarded to the internal departments and specialist departments of our company responsible for the specific application process. Your personal application data will not be passed on to third parties (our clients or other companies from any company mergers) without your express consent.

Your personal application data will be deleted automatically six months after the application process has been completed, or as soon as the purpose has been fulfilled by filling the position elsewhere. For statistical evaluation purposes, we retain the country of origin and the information "How did you hear about us?". This does not apply if statutory provisions prevent deletion, if further storage is necessary for the purpose of providing evidence or if you have expressly consented to longer storage. If we are unable to offer you a current vacancy but, based on your profile, we believe that your application may be of interest for future vacancies, we will store your personal profile for six months, provided you expressly consent to such storage and use. After six months, all information from your application profile will be anonymised, only the country of origin will be kept for statistical evaluation purposes. If we have received your application from a recruitment agency, we will only store your name and email address for a further six months after the six-month period has expired in order to fulfil our contractual obligations to our contractual partner in the event that you apply directly to us during this time. Our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 I 1 lit. f) GDPR lies in the fulfilment of our contractual obligations towards our business partner.

12 Service Centre

When you register as a user in our Service Centre, we store your first name, your surname, your email address and the reference to your employer. Your details or personal data are processed for the use of the portal and for downloading our products, for processing your enquiries and their handling in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

Your contact data may be stored in our customer relationship management system ("CRM system") or comparable enquiry organisation.

We will delete your account in the Service Centre, including all personal data stored in it, if you have not logged into the portal for 13 months. You will be notified of the impending deletion after 12 months, and your account will be deleted after a further month. If your account is not activated, we will delete your data after 4 weeks. A reminder will be sent after 2 weeks.

In the case of statutory archiving obligations, the deletion will take place after their expiry (end of commercial law (6 years) and tax law (10 years) retention obligation).

13 Lead Gen Forms

In online marketing, we use so-called lead gen forms to acquire new customers. Lead Gen Forms are adverts in social networks that enable the integration of contact forms in sponsored content. We use the Lead Gen Forms services of LinkedIn (LinkedIn Lead Generation).

By using these Lead Gen Forms services, we offer interested parties a function that allows them to provide us with their email address and name as a LinkedIn user as part of the process of acquiring new customers. We use this functionality to be able to address interested parties in a more targeted manner.

LinkedIn uses forms as well as functions and content from the LinkedIn service to generate leads. If you are a member of the LinkedIn platform, LinkedIn can assign access to the above-mentioned content and functions to the user profiles there.

Further information on data protection and LinkedIn's lead gen forms can be found here:

https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.

We will only process your data with your express consent. The legal basis for the use of Lead Gen Forms is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

We delete the data you have transmitted via Lead Gen Forms as soon as the purpose has been achieved, unless we are legally obliged to store it for a longer period of time or we still need your personal data to fulfil or process an existing contractual relationship or for verification purposes. In such cases, we delete the relevant data after the statutory retention period has expired or as soon as we no longer need the data to fulfil or process an existing contractual relationship or for verification purposes. We have no information on the deletion of personal data collected from Lead Gen Forms providers.
