What sources and data do we use?

We process personal data that we receive from you within the scope of your use of our website and, where applicable, within the scope of our business relationship with you.

When using the website purely for informational purposes, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. When you access our website, we collect the following access data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security. This access data includes the IP address, date and time of the request, time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), content of the request (i.e. the name of the specific webpage accessed), access status/HTTP status code, amount of data transferred in each case, referrer URL (previously visited page), operating system and its interface, language and version, as well as type of browser software and notification of successful retrieval.

Furthermore, we receive your personal data if you contact us via online form or e-mail. Personal data in this context includes, for example, the information you provide in the respective form or in your e-mail, in particular your name, e-mail address and the content of your message, as well as any additional information requested in the respective form that you voluntarily provide and submit to us as part of your message (hereinafter referred to as “contact data”).

In the registration form for architects or fabricators/processors, we additionally collect customer number, company name, website, as well as username and password. Furthermore, we process the master and contact data provided in the registration form for the purpose of verifying access authorization and setting up the user account. The provision of this data is necessary in order to manually review the registration and ensure that only authorized users gain access to the login area. After activation, we process this data for the administration of access. If a registration is not approved, the data collected in this context will be deleted unless statutory retention obligations or legitimate interests prevent deletion.

In the registration form for the Partner Academy, we additionally collect title, department, position and company name.

On our website, you have the opportunity to apply for open positions via an external service provider. When you start an application, you will be redirected to the corresponding platform. The processing of your application data takes place there. Further information on the processing of your personal data within the scope of the application process can be found in the privacy notices of the respective application platform.

Who receives my data?

Within our company, those departments that require your data to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations are granted access to your data.

Processors engaged by us (Art. 28 GDPR) may also receive data for the above-mentioned purposes. These include, in particular, companies in the areas of IT and software services, hosting, maintenance and support of IT systems, as well as marketing and communication services. Where we use processors to provide our services, we take appropriate legal precautions as well as corresponding technical and organizational measures to ensure the protection of personal data in accordance with the applicable legal requirements.

Any transfer of data to third parties that are not processors only takes place within the framework of the statutory provisions. We only disclose user data to third parties if this is necessary, for example, on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR for contractual purposes or on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR in efficient internal administration as well as for the fulfillment of contractual services within the group of companies (e.g. within the scope of data exchange between companies within our corporate structure, insofar as this is necessary for internal administrative purposes or for the fulfillment of contractual services; available at https://www.profine-group.com/de/unternehmen/internationalitaet) or if you have consented to the data transfer (e.g. transfer of customer data to specialist companies).

When using the website purely for informational purposes, data may technically be transmitted to service providers that we use to provide and operate the website (e.g. hosting or IT service providers). Where third-party providers are used in this context, this is carried out either on the basis of a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR or – insofar as services requiring consent are concerned – on the basis of your consent.

If personal data is transferred to third countries (countries outside the EU/EEA) in connection with the integration of service providers or tools, we ensure that appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are in place (e.g. adequacy decision or EU Standard Contractual Clauses), unless a statutory exception applies.

How long will my data be retained?

For security reasons (e.g. to investigate misuse or fraud), log file information is stored for a maximum period of 14 days and then deleted (see section 3 above). Data whose further retention is required for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.
Access data for the login area is deleted 24 months after the last use (inactivity) of our systems, or earlier if you request the deletion of your user account. Data from registration requests that do not result in activation will be deleted immediately after completion of the review, unless statutory retention obligations or legitimate interests prevent deletion.
Where necessary, we process and store your personal data for the duration of our business relationship, which also includes, for example, the initiation of a contract via contact form or e-mail.
Information regarding the storage period of your application data can be found in the privacy notices of the respective application portal to which you are redirected during the application process.
ersonal data received via our whistleblower system is stored for as long as necessary to investigate and conclusively assess the report. After completion of the investigations, the personal data will be deleted within an appropriate period, usually one month, and in accordance with statutory requirements. In the event that judicial and/or disciplinary proceedings are initiated, retention may continue until the conclusion of the proceedings or until the expiry of applicable legal remedy periods. Personal data relating to unfounded whistleblower reports will be deleted immediately.
In addition, we are subject to various retention and documentation obligations arising, among other things, from the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Fiscal Code (AO) [YR2.1]. The retention and documentation periods specified therein range from two to ten years.
Finally, the storage period is also determined by statutory limitation periods, which, for example pursuant to Sections 195 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB), are generally three years, but in certain cases may extend up to thirty years, whereby the regular limitation period is three years.
Data related to the distribution of newsletters is stored for as long as the subscription exists. After unsubscribing from the newsletter, the data will be deleted unless statutory retention obligations or legitimate interests (e.g. proof of consent) prevent deletion.

Are data transferred to a third country or to an international organization?

Your personal data may also be processed in countries outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA), in particular in the United States.

Where no adequacy decision of the European Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR exists for a third country, we ensure an adequate level of data protection through appropriate safeguards. These include, in particular, the conclusion of EU Standard Contractual Clauses pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR.

If the respective recipient is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, the data transfer is carried out on the basis of the adequacy decision of the European Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.

Further information regarding the respective service providers used and the associated transfers to third countries can be found in the following sections of this privacy notice.

Please note that, despite these measures, there may still be residual risks in connection with data transfers to the United States, as governmental authorities in particular may potentially gain access to personal data without effective legal remedies being available to you against such access.

What data protection rights do I have?

Every data subject has:

  • the right of access pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR (you have the right to request information at any time about the personal data we have stored about you),
  • the right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR (if your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request the correction of such data),
  • the right to erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR and the right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR (you may have the right to request the deletion or restriction of the processing of your personal data if, for example, there is no longer a legitimate business purpose for such processing and statutory retention obligations do not require further storage),
  • the right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR (you may have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance).

Furthermore, you may withdraw your consent at any time, generally with effect for the future.

In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR in conjunction with § 19 BDSG). The supervisory authority responsible for you can be found at: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Service/Anschriften/anschriften_table.html

In addition, we would like to inform you about your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR:

Information about your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e GDPR (data processing in the public interest) or Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR (data processing based on a balancing of interests); this also applies to profiling based on these provisions within the meaning of Art. 4 no. 4 GDPR.

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

In individual cases, we process your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing. You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes.

The objection may be submitted informally and no costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs will arise.

If possible, the objection should be addressed to the contact details provided above.

To what extent is there automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling?

When accessing our website or contacting us via form or e-mail, we generally do not use fully automated decision-making within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR. Should we use such procedures in individual cases, we will inform you separately if this is required by law. Automated processing of your personal data for the purpose of evaluating certain personal aspects (profiling) does not take place.

Is there an obligation for me to provide data?

Within the scope of our website, you must provide the personal data that is technically required for the use of our website or necessary for IT security reasons. If you do not provide this data, the website may not function properly.

When contacting us via form or e-mail, you only need to provide the personal data required to process your request. Otherwise, we will not be able to process your request.

Within the scope of registration for the login area, you only need to provide the personal data required to verify your access authorization, set up your user account and provide the respective content and services.

The provision of this data is necessary in order to manually review your registration and ensure that only authorized users gain access to the login area.

Through the conversion cookie, both we and Google can determine whether you reached our website via an Ads advertisement and whether you performed or cancelled an action (e.g. a purchase).

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visitor statistics for our website. We in turn use these visitor statistics to determine the total number of users referred to us via Ads advertisements. This allows us to measure the success of our respective Ads campaigns and optimize our Ads advertisements for the future. Neither our company nor other Google Ads advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the data subject.

In addition to using our cookie banner, you can prevent the setting of cookies through the appropriate settings in your internet browser. Such a browser setting would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on your computer. Furthermore, cookies already set by Google Ads can be deleted at any time via your browser. You also have the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. For this purpose, you must access the link below from each internet browser you use (on each device) and configure the desired settings: www.google.de/settings/ads

If you wish to object to interest-based advertising by Google, you can use the opt-out options provided by Google: http://www.google.com/ads/preferences.
