Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting our website. We take the security of your personal data seriously and would like to provide you with our online data protection principles. 

AT Zweirad GmbH considers the protection of your privacy to be of the utmost importance. Therefore, compliance with the legal provisions on data protection is a matter of course for us. Furthermore, it is important to us that you know at all times how we store which data and how we use it.

As a rule, it is possible to use our website without providing personal data. In the case of purely informational use of our website - i.e. if you do not register anywhere and do not send us any data - we only collect the data that your browser transmits to us for technical reasons. This includes, for example, your IP address. Insofar as additional personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

§ 11 Application management d.vinci 

We are pleased that you are interested in us and that you are applying or have applied for a position in our company. We would like to provide you below with information on the processing of your personal data in connection with your application.

(1) What data of yours do we process? And for what purposes?


We process the data you have sent us in connection with your application in order to assess your suitability for the job (or other open positions in our companies, if applicable) and to carry out the application process. What is the legal basis for this?


The primary legal basis for the processing of your personal data in this application procedure is Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) in the version applicable from 25.05.2018. According to this, the processing of data required in connection with the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship is permissible. 

Should the data be required for legal prosecution after completion of the application process, if applicable, data processing may be carried out on the basis of the requirements of Art. 6 DSGVO, in particular to safeguard legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. ) DSGVO. Our interest then consists in the assertion or defence of claims.

(2) How long is the data stored?


Data of applicants will be deleted after 6 months in case of rejection. In the event that you have agreed to further storage of your personal data, we will transfer your data to our applicant pool. There, the data will be deleted after two years. If you have been awarded a position during the application process, the data from the applicant data system will be transferred to our personnel information system.

(3) To which recipients is the data passed on?


We use a specialised software provider for the application process. This provider acts as a service provider for us and may also receive knowledge of your personal data in connection with the maintenance and care of the systems. We have concluded a so-called order processing agreement with this provider, which ensures that the data processing is carried out in a permissible manner. After receiving your application, your applicant data will be viewed by the HR department. Suitable applications are then forwarded internally to the person responsible for the respective open position. The further procedure is then coordinated. In principle, only those persons in the company have access to your data who need this for the proper course of our application procedure.


(4) Where is the data processed?


The data is processed exclusively in data processing centres in the Federal Republic of Germany.


(5) Your rights as a "data subject"


You have the right to information about the personal data we process about you. In the case of a request for information that is not made in writing, we ask for your understanding that we may then require evidence from you to prove that you are the person you claim to be. Furthermore, you have a right to correction or deletion or to restriction of processing, insofar as you are entitled to this by law. Furthermore, you have a right to object to processing within the scope of the law. The same applies to a right to data portability. You have the right to complain about the processing of personal data by us to a supervisory authority for data protection.

§ 13 Data protection notice for the reporting system

AT Zweirad GmbH (hereinafter "company", "we" and "us") takes the protection of personal data very seriously.

datenschutz@dsb-ms.de

Categories of personal data and purpose of processing

The purpose of the HGS is to receive and process reports from our employees and external persons regarding employee behaviour that is unlawful or contrary to the aim or purpose of legal provisions in a secure and confidential manner.

The following categories of your personal data may be collected and subsequently processed by us via the HGS:

  • Your surname and first name, professional position, place of employment and your professional contact details (insofar as the report is made non-anonymously) and/or the corresponding data of the employees affected by your report,
  • the fact that you have used our HGS for the purposes of a report,
  • reported behaviour of the employees concerned,
  • other (possibly special) categories of personal data, insofar as these are entered in the HGS as part of the reports or in the subsequent investigation procedure,
  • company documents such as performance records, travel expense reports, logbooks, invoices and similar documents, which may also contain personal data, insofar as they are required to clarify the reported facts,
  • Information on behaviour when using company communication systems, such as metadata, log data or the content of company e-mails, insofar as this is required to clarify the reported facts.

We process the aforementioned personal data for the following purposes in particular: 

  • Checking whether the information submitted to us appears plausible and suggests a violation of laws or other legally binding requirements or breaches of duty under the employment contract,
  • if necessary, further clarification of the reported facts with regard to any violations of laws or other legally binding requirements or breaches of duty under employment contracts,
  • if necessary, further clarification for the purpose of exonerating wrongly suspected employees,
  • if necessary, for the defence against imminent economic and other disadvantages and for the assertion and/or enforcement of our company's rights an
  • if necessary, to fulfil any obligations of our company to cooperate in the context of investigations by law enforcement or other authorities.

Legal basis of the processing

As a company, we must ensure compliance with all laws and other legal requirements relevant to our business operations. These include, in particular, the provisions of commercial and tax law, criminal and administrative offence law, labour law, antitrust law and data protection law. In addition, there are comprehensive legal provisions of countries outside the EU in which our company may operate. If we do not adequately comply with these legal obligations, our company may face considerable disadvantages such as fines, claims for damages, the withdrawal of any necessary authorisations and, last but not least, reputational damage and the loss of business relationships.

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with Article 17 of Directive (EU) 2016/679. Art. 17 of Directive (EU) 2019/1937 ("EU Whistleblower Directive") and any national provisions implementing the EU Whistleblower Directive. In accordance with the Whistleblower Directive and the national regulations on its implementation, we are legally obliged to provide a whistleblower system.

The processing of your personal data in the HGS is also carried out on the legal basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter f) GDPR in conjunction with any applicable provisions of national law for the prevention and detection of criminal offences, breaches of duty and other violations as well as our legitimate interest in the associated prevention of damage and liability risks for our company. We have a legitimate interest in the processing of personal data for the prevention and detection of offences within our company, to check the legality of internal processes and to safeguard the integrity of our company.

Insofar as special categories of personal data, such as information on racial and ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs or trade union membership, health data or data on sex life or sexual orientation, are entered in the HGS as part of the reports or in the subsequent investigation procedure, we process these on the legal basis of Art. 9 para. 2 letter b GDPR in conjunction with Art. 9 para. 2 letter f GDPR. Art. 9 para. 2 letter f. GDPR and applicable national regulations.

Technical implementation and security of your data

The HGS contains an option for anonymous communication via an encrypted connection. Your IP address and your current location are not stored at any time when you use this option. After sending a message, you will receive access data to the HGS mailbox so that you can continue to communicate with us in a secure manner.

The data you provide will be stored in a specially secured database in the European Union. All data stored on the database is encrypted according to the current state of the art. The data can only be viewed by us. Other third parties are not able to decrypt this data and make it readable.

Disclosure of personal data

Personal data collected and processed via the HGS may be transferred to the following recipients:

  • As part of the processing of reports under the HGS, it may be necessary for the processed personal data to be transferred to other Group companies within the corporate group if they are also or solely affected by the reported facts. All persons authorised to view the data are expressly obliged to maintain confidentiality.
  • Our technical service provider acts as a processor on the basis of processing for order processing in accordance with Art. 28 para. 3 GDPR. They may have access to your encrypted data (not in readable form) as part of maintenance work.
  • If the processing of the report leads to the result that a violation has occurred, personal data of the accused or, in the case of non-anonymous information, also of the whistleblower may be transmitted to law enforcement authorities or courts as well as lawyers or consultants commissioned by us.
  • Insofar as it is necessary for the assertion and enforcement of claims of our company and no interests of data subjects worthy of protection conflict with this, personal data may also be transferred to opposing parties or insurers.

Our group companies to which your personal data from the HGS may be transferred in accordance with the principles described above are located in Germany.

If a transfer of your personal data to a court or authority in a non-European country without an adequate level of data protection is necessary and legally permissible for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims of our company, this can take place on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 sentence 1 letter e) GDPR without the need for additional measures to ensure an adequate level of data protection.

In certain cases, we are obliged under data protection law to inform the person(s) named in your report of the allegations made against them. This is required by law, for example, if it is objectively established that the provision of information to this person(s) can no longer affect the clarification of the reported facts. If you have not submitted your report anonymously, we will not disclose your identity as a whistleblower - to the extent permitted by law - and we will also ensure that no other conclusions can be drawn about your identity. Please note that in the event of a knowingly false report with the intention of discrediting another person, we may be obliged to disclose your identity to that person.

For further information on the recipients of your personal data and any guarantees, please contact us at the above e-mail address. Your personal data will only be transferred to the above-mentioned recipients if this is necessary and legally permissible.

Otherwise, your personal data will only be passed on to third parties (outside our company) in cases where this is necessary for the performance of the activity, e.g. to external auditing companies for the performance of an audit. Here too, data is always passed on and processed for a specific purpose on a legal basis. We may pass on your personal data to external service providers (e.g. IT service providers, e.g. for remote maintenance and support, etc.) as part of order processing bound by instructions.

Duration of storage

The personal data from the HGS will generally be deleted within two months after completion of the respective investigation, unless they need to be processed for other purposes, e.g. to fulfil retention obligations or for the exercise, assertion or defence of legal claims.

Your rights

With regard to the processing of your personal data by us, you can contact us in writing at the above address or by e-mail to the above e-mail address in order to exercise your following rights:

  • We are obliged to inform all recipients to whom your data has been disclosed of any rectification or erasure of your data or restriction of processing.

  • If your personal data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter f) GDPR, you have the right to object to this processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation (Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR). The objection can be made informally.
  • If you file an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
  • Finally, you have the right to lodge a complaint with any supervisory authority of your choice, in particular in the EU Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you by us infringes the legal provisions.

Accordingly, we use the meta pixel to display the meta ads placed by us only to those Meta users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Meta (so-called "custom audiences")

(3) With the help of the meta pixel, we also want to ensure that our meta ads correspond to the potential interest of users and are not annoying. With the help of the meta pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of the meta adverts for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a meta advert (so-called "conversion").

(4) The processing of data by Meta takes place within the framework of Meta's data usage guidelines. Accordingly, general information on the presentation of Meta Ads can be found in Meta's Data Usage Policy.

Specific information and details about the Meta pixel and how it works can be found in Meta's help section. You can object to the collection by Meta Pixel and use of your data to display Meta Ads. To set which types of adverts are displayed to you within Meta, you can go to the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions on the settings for usage-based advertising. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

You can also object to the use of cookies for reach measurement and advertising purposes via the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative and additionally via the US website or the European website.

If you have consented to your data being processed and stored by Meta, the legal basis is Article 1(1)(a) GDPR. In addition, the legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in fast and good communication and ensuring the most comprehensive presence possible. 

It is possible that some of the information collected may also be processed outside the European Union, e.g. in the USA. On 10 July 2023, the European Commission adopted the adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (successor to the "Privacy Shield"). The adequacy decision can now serve as the basis for data transfers to certified organisations in the USA. Meta has certified itself under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

We have no influence on the storage period of your data at Meta. For details, please contact the operators of the network directly.
