Collection and use of your data 

The extent and type of collection and use of your personal data differs depending on whether you visit our website only to retrieve information or to make use of any services we may offer. 
If we use other (IT) service providers for individual functions of our services or would like to use your data for advertising purposes, we will inform you in detail in the following about the respective processes (all data processing). In doing so, we also state the defined criteria for the storage period and the applicable legal basis for data processing. 
 

Informational use 

For the informational use of our website, we only collect the personal data sent automatically by your browser, such as: 

• IP address 
• Date and time of the request 
• Time zone difference from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) 
• Content of the request (specific page) 
• Data volume transferred and access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.) 
• Website from which the request is coming 
• Browser type / version / language 
• Operating system and its user interface 
• Language and version of your browser software 

Storage period: 
The storage period for this data (logs) is 40 days. 

Legal basis of data processing: 
The data mentioned above are technically required to display our website and to ensure its stability and security according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit.f) GDPR. 
 

Contact through the contact form or by e-mail 

When you get in contact with us through the contact form or by e-mail, we will store the data provided by you (your title, name, e-mail address, country, if applicable your phone number and your message) in order to answer your question(s). The mandatory information is marked separately, providing any further information is voluntary. 

We will forward your inquiry to our subsidiaries and sales companies inside and outside the EU if further processing is necessary there. Internal guidelines ensure consistent data protection in this regard. 

Storage period: 
We delete the data created in this context after storage is no longer required, or restrict processing if legal retention requirements exist (max. ten years as part of the archiving of business e-mail traffic required under commercial and tax law). 

Legal basis of data processing: 
The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject, as per Art. 6 para 1 lit.b) GDPR. 
 

Application 

We process the data that you send us in connection with your application in order to assess your suitability for the position (or other open positions, if applicable) and to carry out the application process. 

Your application will be viewed by the HR department upon receipt. Suitable applicants will then be passed on to the branch and department managers for the vacant or suitable position. The further process is then agreed upon. Across the entire company, access to your data will only be given to people who require it to ensure the correct execution of our application process. 

Commissioned service providers: 
We have not engaged any service providers to assist us in carrying out the application process. Your data can therefore only be viewed by the IT service providers commissioned by us if necessary and, of course, only to the extent required. 

Storage period: 
If applicants are rejected, their data will be deleted after 6 months.  In the case you have consented to the storage of your personal data, we will add your data to our applicant-pool. The data stored there will be deleted after 2 years.  If you have been accepted for a position through the application process, your data will be transferred to our personnel information system. 

Legal basis of data processing: 
The processing of your data as part of the application process is permitted for the purpose of making a decision about the establishment of an employment relationship in accordance with Section 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). 

Should the data be required for legal prosecution after the application process is complete, data processing may take place to exercise our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our interest in this case lies in asserting or defending claims. 
 

Newsletter 

In order to be able to receive our newsletter regularly, we require, in addition to your consent in line with the data protection law, at least your e-mail address (mandatory information) to which the newsletter is to be sent. Any further information is voluntary and will be used to address you personally and to clarify any queries regarding the e-mail address. 

For registration, we generally use the so-called double opt-in procedure, i.e. we will only send you the newsletter if you first confirm your registration via a confirmation e-mail sent to you for this purpose by means of a link contained therein. In this way, we want to ensure that only you, as the owner of the specified e-mail address, can subscribe to the newsletter. Your confirmation in this regard must be made promptly after receipt of the confirmation e-mail, otherwise your newsletter subscription will be automatically deleted. 

Revocation of your consent: 
You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter at any time, by sending a request to the e-mail address pbc-marketing@piller.de . 

Storage period: 
If you do not confirm your registration, your information will not be entered into the system and therefore will not be stored.

After a successful registration, your data will be stored as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we store the data purely statistically and anonymously. 

In addition, we store your IP addresses and times of registration and confirmation of the newsletter. The background to this is the required proof of your consent as well as, if necessary, the clarification of a misuse of your personal data (e.g. a third party illegally uses your e-mail address for registration). 

Legal basis of data processing: 
For the registration to the newsletter, your personal consent is required, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit.a) GDPR. 

The storage of more detailed information regarding the time of your registration and the IP address used is in our interest, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. 
 

Further processing: 

Additional services may contain links to websites and digital services operated by third parties. This privacy policy does not apply to the content, privacy policies or data practices of any third party that collects your information, nor do we assume any responsibility in this regard. We recommend reading the privacy policy of such third parties in order to understand their data privacy practices.

This information is used by LinkedIn, for example, to suggest new contacts to you or to provide information on events (such as time, place, date, attendees) in which you might be interested. 

Nevertheless, LinkedIn also receives information about you when other users synchronize their contact and calendar information with LinkedIn or send messages to you via our services. If you or other users agree to synchronize e-mail accounts with LinkedIn, LinkedIn further more collects information from the “headers” of e-mails which LinkedIn can then associate with member profiles.

If third-party services are used by XING for a XING page of our company, we have neither commissioned nor approved this nor supported it in any other way. Moreover, the personal data obtained during the analysis is not made available to us. Only certain, non-personal, aggregated information on the activity, such as the number of profile or link clicks on a particular post or page is viewable by us through the account. Moreover, we have no way to prevent or stop the use of such services on our XING pages. 

XING also receives information if you view contents, for example, even if you have not created an account (e.g. through a public XING profile). This so-called "log data" may be the IP address, the browser type, the operating system, information about the website you visited previously and the pages you viewed, your location, your mobile provider, the terminal device you use (including device ID and application ID), the search terms you used, and cookie information. 

Via XING buttons or widgets embedded in websites and the use of cookies, it is possible for XING to record your visits to these websites and assign them to your XING profile. With the help of this data, the contents or advertisement can be offered tailored to you. For this reason, our company has chosen not to use such buttons and widgets on our own websites. The links to our company page on XING are purely references. 

New Work SE as a European provider is therefore bound by the GDPR in the designated countries. This applies, for example, to your rights to information, blocking, or deletion of data.  Options to restrict the processing and visibility of your data are available in your account navigation under the item “Settings | Privacy” among the various menu items listed there.  Also take into account that basically all information you provide in your profile is publicly visible by default, i.e. members logging into the network as well as customers of XING services can view it. This also applies to your activities within the service, such as comments on posts, “Like” tags or the “Share” function. Group memberships can also be publicly visible. 

When you share posts, the default setting is that this is done publicly. In the options, you can restrict the visibility of this posts to your contacts. Furthermore, you can define in the XING settings whether you want to share your contact list with all your contacts. Due to a so-called public profile, your contents can also be found outside of XING and in search engines. 

Further information on these items can be found on the following pages of the XING website.

The option to view and download your own data on XING can be found in your account navigation under the “Settings” item under “Privacy” and there under “Your personal data disclosure”. 

Information on the comprehensive data collection by XING and further data protection setting options can be found via the following link: XING privacy policy. 

In addition, you can contact the NEW WORK SE and ask questions regarding the data protection directive or user agreement using the XING contact form: Online contact form.
Postal address: New Work SE, Am Strandkai 1, 20457 Hamburg, Germany 

You may request NEW WORK SE to delete any part of your personal data (if, for example, the provision of services to you is no longer necessary) using the contact methods mentioned above. 
However, there is also data use that you cannot influence via the settings. Should you fundamentally disagree with such use, your only option is to close your account. 

If you are located in one of the designated countries of the GDPR, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority.

Extent, purpose, and legal basis of data processing: 

Data processing by Google Ireland 

Each time our YouTube channel is accessed (via the link provided on our website or by other means) on the YouTube websites, personal data is processed by YouTube/Google. For more information on the processing of personal data by YouTube/Google, please refer to the data guideline of Google. We have no knowledge beyond this information from Google of the extent to which, for what purposes, for how long and at what location data is processed by YouTube/Google, whether and how YouTube/Google fulfills its obligation to delete data, to whom data is disclosed, how data is merged, analyzed and marketed by YouTube/Google with other data and information and whether and to what extent profiling is carried out by YouTube/Google. 

In addition, each time our YouTube channel is accessed (via the link provided on our website or by other means), cookies are set on the YouTube websites by YouTube/Google. Companies and institutions can integrate Google technologies and products into their websites and apps (e.g. social plugins, Google Analytics, Google Maps). If you visit websites or use apps provided by companies and institutions that use such Google technologies/products, Google will also use cookies in the process. This enables Google to track and analyze your user behavior far beyond YouTube and Google websites. For more information on the use of cookies by YouTube/Google, please refer to the cookie policy of Google.

You can individually define in your browser settings whether and which cookies may be stored and when they are deleted. At this point we would like to point out that visiting our YouTube channel is also possible if your browser blocks cookies. 

The processing of personal data and the setting of cookies by Google is performed regardless of whether you are logged into your YouTube or Google user account or have one at all. If you are logged into your YouTube or Google user account, you allow Google to associate your user behavior directly with your personal profile across devices. According to the company, you can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube/Google user account. The provider of YouTube in Germany is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The parent group of YouTube is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043. Personal data and other information is transferred by Google to countries in the EU and also to the USA and other third countries - where a lower level of data protection than in the EU may prevail - and processed there by Google and its partners. 

In addition to the data and cookie guidelines of YouTube/Google, the terms of use, the community guidelines, and any other guidelines and regulations on safety and copyright are applicable to your and our use of YouTube. We have no influence on the processing of your data by YouTube/Google and on Google's compliance with applicable data protection regulations. 

Data processing by Piller Blowers & Compressors GmbH 
Please check carefully what personal data you submit to us via YouTube. If you would like to avoid YouTube/Google processing data you have submitted, please contact us by other means. Our contact details can be found above under point 1 of this statement or in the legal notice. 

The purpose of data processing by us is to provide information about current offers, promotions, factual topics and company news and to interact with visitors to our YouTube presence on these topics in terms of subject matter and content, as well as to respond to corresponding queries, praise, and criticism. We offer you the possibility to comment, share, like or dislike, or save our videos and posts. Your posts can be accessed by anyone worldwide on the Internet. 

We process personal data when you contact us via our YouTube channel, for example by commenting on a post. If you contact us via our YouTube channel, we will process the content of your message and any other personal data transmitted in the process. Please note that in addition to the data and content actively submitted by you, we may also have access to further information about your user profile, your posts and, for example, “Like” comments. The access to this information depend on the privacy settings in your YouTube user account. YouTube/Google explains how to check and change your privacy and data protection settings.

The data will be used by us strictly for the purpose of communicating with you or processing your request. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest, which is a result of the balance of interests, is to communicate with you and to respond to your inquiries and other requests. Insofar as we are able to do so, and insofar as we have also processed the data outside of YouTube (e.g. by sending you an email), the data you have actively communicated to us will be deleted by us when the purpose for the processing ceases to apply, i.e. specifically after the contact with you has finally ended. This does not apply to data stored by the system of YouTube/Google as part of our communication; we have no influence on the deletion of this data. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
 
You can also delete self-created posts, such as comments, yourself at any time. 

Data processing by Piller Blowers & Compressors GmbH and Google Ireland (statistics) 
As mentioned above, we and YouTube are jointly responsible for data processing within the meaning of Art. 26 DSGVO in the context of the creation and use of statistics or “YouTube Analytics”. “YouTube Analytics” are analyses in statistical form provided by YouTube/Google for the operators of YouTube channels, which contain evaluations of persons (groups) interacting with the respective YouTube channel, the way this is done and the content contained therein. 

“YouTube Analytics” show us, for example, the reach of our YouTube channel, the interaction of users with our posts (view, comment, subscribe) and demographic data (e.g. age, gender, location) of visitors as well as the number of views of our videos. To create “YouTube Analytics” statistics, YouTube/Google uses certain events - e.g. watching or commenting on one of our videos or subscribing to our channel - and the personal data collected when interacting with our YouTube channel and recorded by Google servers. 

Our joint responsibility with YouTube/Google includes the collection and compilation of data for “YouTube Analytics” statistics for our YouTube channel provided to us by YouTube/Google. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The processing of the data serves to protect our legitimate interests in optimizing our external presentation and communication via our YouTube channel, which are overriding in the context of a balancing of interests and which are made possible for us by “YouTube Analytics”. 

YouTube or Google currently does not provide an agreement on joint responsibility within the meaning of Art. 26 para 1 s. 2 GDPR, which specifies which controller fulfills which data protection obligations under the GDPR. You will find further information on “YouTube Analytics” via the following link. 

With regard to statistics and “YouTube Analytics”, we have no knowledge beyond the information provided above of the extent to which, the purposes for which, the duration for which and the location at which data is stored by YouTube/Google, whether and how YouTube/Google fulfills its obligation to delete data, to whom data is disclosed and how data is merged with other data , analyzed and marketed by YouTube/Google and information and whether and to what extent profiling is carried out by YouTube/Google.

Communication via e-mail 

Our e-mail systems support the encrypted communication through SSL technology (TLS 1.2 incl. PFS). The transmission of your e-mail is therefore always encrypted. Please note, however, that the encryption also depends on the configuration of your e-mail program and we cannot guarantee a complete data security during transmission.
