Privacy policy

Welcome to our website! Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in our content.

The protection of your privacy and your personal data is very important to us.

On our website, we collect, use and store your personal data exclusively in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the EU Data Protection Adaptation and Implementation Act (DSAnpUG-EU) and the German Telemedia Act (TMG).

In the following, we explain the type, scope and purpose of data collection and use.

The use of our website is largely possible without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address, e-mail address) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis. This data is not collected, stored or used without your explicit consent. We do not pass on your data to third parties unless we have explicitly agreed this with you.

Copyright

Senior Expert Service (SES) alone is entitled to all rights to the content and design of the pages. The photos provided on our website are not authorised for further publication and use by third parties. The complete or partial reproduction, distribution, transmission (electronically or otherwise), modification or use of our Internet pages for public or commercial purposes is prohibited without our prior written consent. We are pleased to receive links to our pages and ask you to inform us accordingly.

Server-Log Files

When you visit our website, every access is stored in a log file, the so-called server log. Each data record consists of information about

• the IP address of the requesting computer
• the page from which a page of our website was requested (so-called referrer URL)
• date and time of the call
• the amount of data transferred
• the access status (whether the request was successful or not)
• the browser used (e.g. Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, etc.)
• time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

The legal basis for this collection is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR (legitimate interest). We cannot offer you an option to object to this collection, as the server log is essential to ensure the readiness of this website and in the event of attacks on the website.

The data from the server log are automatically deleted after 14 days.

The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and, if applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided that your request is aimed at concluding a contract. 

Your data will be deleted after the final processing of your request, provided that there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary. You can object to the processing of your personal data at any time in the case of Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR.

Storage periods

• for rejected applications including related correspondence: 6 months. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR.
• for archived data of persons who have had an assignment: 10 years. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) a GDPR.
• for archived SE data of SEs that have not had an assignment: 1 day. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) a GDPR. 
• for registered persons who request deletion: Deletion is carried out immediately if the SEs have not yet been used. If the SEs have been used, immediate deletion is not possible. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

Use and disclosure of personal data

SES does not pass on any personal data to external third parties without the prior consent of the data subject. In particular, there is no unauthorised disclosure of data to third parties for advertising purposes.

When registering experts within the framework of its German Senior Experts (GSE) division, SES collects the data required for commissioning within the framework of GSE orders for a specific purpose. These are: Surname, first name, address, telephone number, e-mail, date of birth, nationality, professional background and qualifications. A corresponding user account is created to process the data.

This information is provided voluntarily. The consultants or trainers expressly consent to the collection, storage and use of their data for the stated purpose. This is mandatory for registration. They have access to their data and can request the deletion of their data at any time.

Personal data (e.g. the professional profile) is passed on by SES (GSE) in order to propose the consultants or trainers to potential clients of SES (GSE) in Germany or abroad for an assignment. This is done in consultation with the consultants or trainers.

All data is only stored or passed on to the extent necessary for order processing. The external GSE partners are included in our data protection policy by means of a data protection declaration.

Disclaimer

Our website contains external links to websites of other providers and integrated services. They are not the subject of this declaration. No guarantee can be given for the function, correctness, completeness or quality of the information on our Internet pages (both our own and third-party authors), the link references and in particular the information on the linked Internet pages of third-party providers (including the legality of the content). The rights to these pages and the responsibility for their content lie exclusively with the third-party provider.

We dissociate ourselves from the content of linked pages if they contain discriminatory statements. This applies in particular to content whose dissemination is prohibited under German and foreign law and to cases in which the aiding and abetting of dissemination is prosecuted under criminal law.

We also cannot guarantee that our pages, our link references or link collections or the linked pages themselves do not contain malware. We disclaim any liability for material or immaterial damage, in particular for consequential damage, caused by the use of the information provided by us, unless caused by intentional or grossly negligent behaviour on our part.

Web Hosting

Our website is hosted by the company Krankikom GmbH, Calaisplatz 5, 47051 Duisburg.

Access to and storage of information in end devices

The TDDDG supplements existing data protection laws, in particular the GDPR, and addresses the specific challenges arising from the ongoing digitalization and the increasing use of telecommunications services and telemedia.

When you use our website, information (e.g. IP address) may be accessed or stored on your end devices (e.g. cookies). This access or storage may involve further processing of personal data within the meaning of the GDPR. In cases where such access to information or such storage of information is absolutely necessary for the technically error-free provision of our services, this is done on the basis of Section 25 (1) sentence 1, (2) no. 2 TDDDG.

In cases where such a process serves other purposes (e.g. the needs-based design of our website), it is carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TDDDG only with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. The processing of your personal data is subject to the provisions of the GDPR and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).

Information, deletion, blocking

Duration and storage of personal data
The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the relevant statutory retention periods (e.g. under commercial and tax law). After expiry of the respective period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted. If data is required for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract or if we have a legitimate interest in further storage, the data will be deleted if it is no longer required for these purposes or if you exercise your right of revocation or objection.

Data transfer and recipients
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties, except

• if we have explicitly pointed this out in the description of the respective data processing,
• if you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO,
• the disclosure is required under Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 f) GDPR to establish, exercise or defend legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data. The collection of applicant data in the applicant portal is based on a legitimate interest in the initiation of a contract. The collection of personal contact data is in the interest of both parties and is absolutely necessary for bilateral communication and the establishment of a contractual relationship.
• in the event that there is a legal obligation to pass on the data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. c GDPR and insofar as this is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. lit. b GDPR. If a person becomes active or applies for a job and a contractual relationship arises from this, data processing is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract. Documents about the members sent are subject to tax retention periods due to the cost accounting and must be documented for accounting and possible tax audits. The processing is therefore necessary to fulfill legal obligations.

You have the right to revoke your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time, informally and without stating reasons. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

LinkedIn

Our website only uses links to social media platforms. Some of these links contain parameters that transfer information depending on the platform in order to use interactive functions. At the moment, our website contains interactive links to the LinkedIn platform.

If you click on a button marked “share”, your browser will connect to the servers of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.

LinkedIn then receives the information that you have visited the corresponding subpage of our website, regardless of whether you are registered with or logged in to the service provider. If you are logged in with the respective service provider at the time of access, this information will be assigned to your user account and may be displayed publicly. Furthermore, the service provider will process your IP address and may store cookies on your device. To safeguard our legitimate interest in presenting appealing content and to avoid potential copyright conflicts, the content is loaded directly from the servers of the providers mentioned. The processing of your IP address required to establish the connection is carried out for these purposes on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have no influence on the type and extent of the processing of personal data on the service provider's pages and merely link to the content offered there.

Further information on the data protection regulations of the providers can be found here.

Data Protection

We use technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against loss, destruction, manipulation or access by unauthorized persons. Our security measures are continuously adapted to the current state of the art.

We reserve the right to adapt or update this data protection declaration if necessary, in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations. This enables us to adapt it to current legal requirements and take into account changes to our services. The current version applies to your visit.
