Collection, processing and use of personal data

When our website is visited, the following data is automatically collected and stored temporarily until the next automated erasure:

  • Visitors’ IP addresses (the last octet of the IP address is erased)
  • Name of the pages visited
  • Date and time at which the site was accessed
  • Name of the browser used
  • Name of the operating system used
  • Name of the search engine or the external link that the visitor used to come to our page
  • Name of the files downloaded

This data is processed for the purpose of statistically evaluating the use of our website and to be able to optimise the site for users.

The legal basis for such data processing is Art. 6 (1) subparagraph 1 point f) GDPR. Within the meaning of this provision, our interest in being able to statistically evaluate the use of our website and our interest and the users’ interest in our being able to optimise our websites constitutes the legitimate interest.

This data cannot be attributed to specific people. This data is not combined with other data sources. We reserve the right to check data after collection if we have reasonable grounds to suspect unlawful use. This data shall be automatically erased after 30 days.

Contact

You have the possibility of contacting us by email or using the contact form. Any details you provide in this respect, the time contact was made and your email address are stored in this context. We do not pass this data on to third parties. We collect and use the data for the purpose of responding to your communication or deal with your request.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) subparagraph 1 point f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest arises from the fact that we require your data in order to reply your communication or deal with your request.

Online forms

Our websites provide you with the possibility of using various online forms (e.g. for suggestions/criticism, lost property inquiries or for online subscriptions, etc.). 

In doing so, you must enter the data necessary for the processing of your request, such as name, address, email address and any further data apparent from the form. 

The following categories of data are processed: Customer data (such as name and address), communication details, contract and order data.

We collect, store and use the data. This is done for the purpose of processing your request, such as entering into a contract with you or processing information you provide under an existing contractual relationship. For the purpose of contractual performance, data may also be transmitted to a third party (e.g. a service provider). The legal basis for such data processing is Art. 6 (1) subparagraph 1 point b) GDPR.

Furthermore, the data is processed for the purpose of contractual performance with technical service providers (including but not limited to the purpose of contractual data processing) and for the process of pursuing legal rights and the collection of receivables. This data may – also prior to conclusion of a contract – be transmitted, taking account of the relevant regulations, to credit agencies for the prevention of debt default, e.g. for the collection of probability values for debt default or for the transmission of undisputed or unappealable receivables with which the customer is in arrears. The credit agencies store the data transmitted to them also to be able to provide such data to their contractual partners in the context of assessing the risk of debt default. Such provision of data is performed only if their contractual partners have a legitimate interest in transmission of the data. The credit agency may communicate address data for the purpose of tracing debtors. Customers may obtain from the credit agency information on the data on them stored there. In the event of collection of a receivable, data can be transmitted to the following categories of recipients to the extent necessary for collection of the receivable: Assignees, credit agencies, collection agencies, third-party debtors, residents’ registration offices, courts, court bailiffs, lawyers. The legal basis for such data processing is Art. 6 (1) subparagraph 1 point f) GDPR; our legitimate interest consists of being able to pursue our legal rights and avoid debt default.

During the use of online forms, we additionally collect and store your IP address and the date and time the data was entered in order to be able to check, in the event of suspected misuse of your data, whether you are actually the person who used the form to enter your data. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) subparagraph 1 point f) GDPR; our legitimate interest consists of being able to track any misuse of data.

Application procedure

We process personal data about you for the purpose of your application for employment to the extent necessary to make a decision on conclusion of an employment contract. The legal basis in this respect is Sec. 26 German Data Protection Act (BDSG). The data is processed on the part of our affiliate Stadtwerke Lübeck Holding GmbH.

We are further able to process personal data on you to the extent that this is necessary for the defence of legal claims asserted against us arising from the application procedure. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) subparagraph 1 point f) GDPR; the legitimate interest is, for example, the obligation to provide evidence in proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

To the extent that an employment relationship comes into being between you and us, we may further process personal data already received from you pursuant to Sec. 26 (1) BDSG for the purpose of the employment relationship to the extent necessary for implementation or termination of the employment relationship. The same applies if your personal data is necessary for the exercise or performance of rights and duties on the part of representatives of employee interests arising from a law or a collective agreement, a company or service agreement (collectively negotiated agreement).

We process data associated with your application. This may be general data on you (such as name, address and contact details), details of your professional qualification and education or details of professional further training or other information you transmit to us in the context of your application. Otherwise, we may process professional information you have made public such as a profile at professional social media networks. 

We may transmit your personal data to our affiliates within the Stadtwerke-Lübeck Group, to the extent permissible within the scope of the purposes and legal bases presented. Otherwise, personal data is processed on our behalf on the basis of agreements pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR, by, including but not limited to, providers of hosting services or providers of applicant management systems.

We store your personal data as long as necessary for a decision to be made on your application. If an employment relationship does not come into being between you and us, we may furthermore continue to store data to the extent necessary for defence of any potential legal claims. In this context, the application documents are erased after six months from the rejection decision becoming known unless storage for a longer period of time is necessary on account of legal disputes.

In the event that you provide us with voluntary consent to a longer storage period, for example for your application to be taken into consideration for vacancies at a later date, you may withdraw such consent at any time. Revocation will lead to immediate erasure of your application data, no later however than upon expiry of the deadlines stated.

For electronic submission of your application, please use only our application form or the email address stated so that the data protection requirements relating to your data can be guaranteed also within our company. 

You are not required by law or contractual arrangements to provide personal data nor are you obliged to provide the personal data. The provision of personal data is, however, necessary for the conclusion of an employment contract with us. This means that unless you provide us with personal data for your application, we will not be able to enter into an employment relationship with you.
