Privacy Policy

1. Introduction
With the following information, we would like to give you as a "data subject" an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under data protection laws. It is generally possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you wish to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain your consent.

The processing of personal data, such as your name, address or e-mail address, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to "GNS Systems GmbH". By means of this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. 

As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or post.

4. Definitions of Terms
The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.

We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy policy:

a.    Personal Data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b.    Data Subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller (our company).

c.    Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d.    Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting its future processing.

e.    Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.

f.    Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g.    Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

h.    Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

i.    Third Party
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

j.    Consent
Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

5. Legal basis of the processing
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (in conjunction with § 15 para. 3 TMG) serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

In rare cases, it may be necessary to process personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR.

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

6. Technology
6.1 SSL/TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact requests that you send to us as the operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" instead of "http://" in the address line of the browser and by the lock symbol in your browser line. We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.

6.2 
Data collection when visiting the website
If you only use our website for informational purposes, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called "server log files"). Our website collects a range of general data and information each time you or an automated system accesses a page. This general data and information is stored in the server log files.

The following can be recorded

1.    the browser types and versions used
2.    the operating system used by the accessing system
3.    the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer)
4.    the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website
5.    the date and time of access to the website
6.    an internet protocol address (IP address),
7.    the Internet service provider of the accessing system.

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is required in order to

1.    to deliver the content of our website correctly
2.    to optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it
3.    to ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and
4.    to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

This collected data and information is therefore evaluated by us both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above.

7. Cookies 
7.1 General information about cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website.

Information is stored in the cookie that results in each case in connection with the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity.

On the one hand, the use of cookies serves to make the use of our website more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a specified period of time. If you visit our site again to make use of our services, it is automatically recognized that you have already visited us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you. These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.

7.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies
The data processed by cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are therefore necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. For all other cookies, you have given your consent to this via our opt-in cookie banner in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

8. Contents of our website
8.1 Contact / Contact form
Personal data is collected when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email). Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request; this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.

8.2 Application management / job exchange
We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. 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 the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two 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).
The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with § Section 26 (1) BDSG.

8.2.1 Purpose of the processing
This privacy policy explains the processing of personal data that you have submitted as part of your application to GNS Systems GmbH. We offer you the opportunity to apply to us via our e-mail address bewerbung@gns-systems.de. We assure you that your data will be collected, processed and used in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence. If you send us an application, we will process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application. If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our Odoo Open ERP data processing system for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.

The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. The retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies. Longer storage may also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion. If the applicant has given consent, we are entitled to retain the data for up to 24 months.

State Commissioner for Data Protection of Lower Saxony
Prinzenstraße 5,
30159 Hannover, Germany
Telephon: +49 (0) 511 / 120 4500
E-Mail: poststelle@lfd.niedersachsen.de

8.2.10 Necessity of the provision of personal data
The provision of personal data is neither legally nor contractually required, nor are you obliged to provide the personal data. However, the provision of personal data is necessary for the application process and the conclusion of an employment relationship with us. Therefore, we cannot consider your application in the application process and cannot enter into an employment relationship with you if you do not provide us with personal data when applying.

9. Newsletter Mailing
9.1 Sending newsletters to existing customers
If you have provided us with your e-mail address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods or services to those already purchased from our range by e-mail. In accordance with Section 7 (3) UWG, we do not need to obtain separate consent from you for this. In this respect, data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If you have initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send you any emails. You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by sending a message to the controller named at the beginning. You will only incur transmission costs for this in accordance with the basic rates. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your e-mail address for advertising purposes will be discontinued immediately.

9.2 Advertising newsletter
On our website, you are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to us when you subscribe to the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.

We inform our customers and business partners about our offers at regular intervals by means of a newsletter. You can only receive our company's newsletter if

1.    you have a valid e-mail address and
2.    you have registered to receive the newsletter.

For legal reasons, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address you entered for the first time for the newsletter mailing using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to check whether you, as the owner of the e-mail address, have authorized the receipt of the newsletter.

When you register for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP) of the IT system you are using at the time of registration as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of your e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves our legal protection.

The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter will be used exclusively to send our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in this regard, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical circumstances. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. You can cancel your subscription to our newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that you have given us for the newsletter dispatch can be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for the purpose of revoking consent. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on our website or to inform us of this in another way.

The legal basis for data processing for the purpose of sending the newsletter is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

10. Our activities in social networks
We have our own pages on social networks so that we can also communicate with you and inform you about our services. If you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible with the provider of the respective social media platform within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR with regard to the processing operations triggered thereby, which concern personal data.

We are not the original provider of these pages, but only use them within the scope of the possibilities offered to us by the respective providers.

As a precaution, we would therefore like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore entail data protection risks for you, as it may be more difficult to safeguard your rights, e.g. to information, deletion, objection, etc., and processing in the social networks is often carried out directly for advertising purposes or for the analysis of user behavior by the providers, without us being able to influence this. If user profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or the user behavior is assigned directly to your own member profile of the social networks (if you are logged in here).

The described processing operations of personal data are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in order to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user with the respective providers, the legal basis refers to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR. Art. 7 GDPR.

As we do not have access to the providers' databases, we would like to point out that it is best to assert your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider. Further information on the processing of your data in the social networks and the possibility of exercising your right of objection or revocation (so-called opt-out) is listed below with the respective provider of social networks used by us:

11. Web analysis
11.1 Matomo

We have integrated the Matomo component of the provider InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand, on this website. Matomo is a software tool for web analysis, i.e. for the collection, compilation and evaluation of data on the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, data is collected about the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. This is used to optimize the website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The software is operated on the server of the controller, and the log files, which are sensitive under data protection law, are stored exclusively on this server.

Matomo places a cookie on your IT system. By setting the cookie, we are able to analyze the use of our website. Each time you access one of the individual pages of this website, the Internet browser on your IT system is automatically prompted by the Matomo component to transmit data to our server for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, we obtain knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which serves us, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks.

Cookies are used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection you are using, is transmitted to our server. This personal data is stored by us. We do not pass this personal data on to third parties.

You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Matomo from setting a cookie on your IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Matomo can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs.

You also have the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Matomo relating to your use of this website. To do this, you must set an opt-out cookie. If your IT system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must set an opt-out cookie again. By setting the opt-out cookie, however, it is possible that you will no longer be able to use our website to its full extent.

These processing operations are only carried out with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Matomo can be found at https://matomo.org/privacy/ .

This also applies to profiling based on these provisions within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 4 GDPR.
