A. Data protection when using our website

We do not use cookies for the operation or use of our website.

You can visit our website without providing any further personal data. Insofar as personal data (such as name, address or e-mail address) can be provided on our pages, this is done on a voluntary basis by you as the user.

Insofar as other special conditions for these individual uses of this website deviate from the aforementioned section, you will be expressly informed of this and the special terms of use will apply in each individual case. For the rest, we refer you to our General Terms and Conditions and their validity.
 

Social media links

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to communicate with the customers, interested parties and users active there and to inform them about us and our services. We currently have presences on Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram. These social networks are only integrated on our website as links to the corresponding services. After clicking on the integrated text/image link, you will be redirected to the page of the respective provider. User information is only transmitted to the respective provider of the social services after you have been forwarded. Where links are provided to other websites, we have neither influence nor control over the linked content and the data protection provisions there. For information on the handling of your personal data when using these websites, please refer to the respective privacy policies of the providers you use. When accessing linked websites, we recommend that you check the data protection declarations of these websites in order to determine whether and to what extent personal data is collected, processed, used or made accessible to third parties.
 

B. Data protection in the context of our business activities as an agency

We also comply with the data protection regulations in our business activities in the context of offers, deliveries and/or services.

If you send us inquiries by e-mail as a data subject (contractual partner, interested party, etc.), your details from your e-mail, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. An e-mail address is required for contact purposes. Under no circumstances will we pass this data on to third parties without your consent. We only process particularly sensitive personal data if you as the data subject have expressly consented to this, if this is contractually or legally required or is absolutely necessary in order to assert, exercise or defend legal claims against the data subject.

If a contractual relationship between you and us is to be established, developed or amended in terms of content or if you submit an inquiry to us, we will process the data provided by you as the person acting in this context, such as name, address, company, position, telephone number, email address, etc., insofar as this is necessary for the purposes of the contract or your inquiry.

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

Our legitimate interests are generally legal (e.g. enforcement of outstanding claims) or economic (e.g. avoidance of contractual disruptions) in addition to pre-contractual and contractual interests (execution of the contract).

All personal data is only stored for as long as is necessary for the stated purpose and for as long as there are no statutory retention obligations under tax and commercial law. The data is then routinely deleted. By order of the competent authorities, we may provide information about this data in individual cases, insofar as this is necessary for the purposes of criminal prosecution, to avert danger, to fulfill legal obligations or to enforce intellectual property rights.

We have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via this website is protected as completely as possible. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions (e.g. also when communicating by e-mail) can generally have security gaps and cannot be completely protected against access by third parties, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.

In principle, we store personal data on specially protected servers. Access to these is only possible for a few specially authorized and trained employees who are involved in the technical, commercial or editorial support of the servers and the execution of contracts, etc.

If a service provider is commissioned to process personal data for us, we have concluded a data processing contract with them in which the aforementioned measures are also mandatory.
 

C. Data protection for applications and in the application process

You can apply for a job via our website. We collect and process the personal data of you as an applicant for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if you send us the relevant application documents electronically, for example by e-mail. If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude an employment contract with you as an applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part stand in the way of deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
 

D. Right to information, right to revocation at any time, complaint

Data subjects have the right to information about the personal data stored about them at any time and to rectification in the event of errors. Data subjects may request the restriction of processing, the portability of the data provided in a machine-readable format or erasure if we no longer require the data.

Data subjects can revoke their consent to the processing of their personal data at any time with effect for the future from the time of receipt. To do so, it is sufficient to send us a clear request by post to: VAGEDES & SCHMID GmbH, Osterfeldstr. 6, 22529 Hamburg.

A data subject can lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority at any time. The Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, Klosterwall 6, 20095 Hamburg, is responsible for us.
