Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy of Orizon Holding GmbH and its subsidiaries

Your data protection is our concern

We appreciate your interest in our company and our services.

Below, we would like to inform you about when we collect which personal data, how we use it and what rights you have.

1. Name and address of the controller

This website is operated by:

Orizon Holding GmbH
Berliner Allee 28 C
D-86153 Augsburg
T: 0821-50991-0
F: 0821-50991-15
info@orizon.de

You can contact our data protection officer at: DSB@orizon.de or at the above address.

2. Personal data

Personal data is individual information about the personal or factual circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person (data subject). This includes, for example, information such as name, address, telephone number and email address.

As a rule, we only process data that you provide to us voluntarily or unsolicited. If you make use of our services, we generally only collect data that we need to provide those services.

3. Purpose of processing and legal basis

We only process personal data of data subjects for the purpose for which we received it. This means:

The following applies to data subjects: We generally process personal data that you voluntarily provide (surname, first name, address, email address, CV, date of birth, professional documents, possibly a photo) in order to respond to your enquiries, process your orders or provide you with access to certain information or offers. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a), (b) GDPR.

For visitors to our website: It is not necessary for you to disclose personal data in order to use our website. In certain cases, however, we require your name and address as well as other personal information so that we can provide the requested services.

When you visit our website, certain data (e.g. IP address) may also be collected for technical reasons. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, whereby our legitimate interest lies in ensuring IT security. The following data is processed in this context: the names of the pages accessed, the browser and operating system used, the date and time of access, search engines used, any websites of other providers visited previously, the names of downloaded files and your IP address.

The following also applies to applicants and employers: The purpose of processing your voluntarily provided personal data is to permanently review and forward job offers to you as an applicant or applicant data to you as a potential employer that correspond to your applicant profile or your requirements profile. Your right of withdrawal (see below) remains unaffected by this. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a), (b) GDPR.

Job placement necessarily means that certain information about the potential employer is made available to the applicant and, conversely, the applicant's personal data is disclosed to the potential employer. In this context, we may disclose information to third parties (potential employers, applicants) if you give your consent.

By transmitting the data to us and posting an applicant profile in the accessible applicant database, you declare your consent to all nationwide locations of Orizon Holding GmbH and its subsidiaries accessing your data, processing it and making it available to potential employers in the form of an applicant dossier. The data will be automatically deleted after six months at the latest if no consent has been given for further processing.

For newsletter subscribers or recipients: If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address, your first and last name, if applicable, and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter.

No further data is collected. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The legal basis for processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, which you give us when you subscribe to the newsletter. For information on how Getresponse handles your data, please refer to the Getresponse privacy policy. Getresponse will only use your data to send the newsletter and to evaluate this mailing on our behalf. Furthermore, Getresponse will only use your data to improve its own service. However, Getresponse will not use the data to write to you itself or pass on your data to third parties.

Our newsletters contain image files (so-called ‘web beacons’) that allow us to recognise whether and when an email has been opened. We also store information when a link in a newsletter is clicked. We use this data to optimise our newsletters and offers and to better understand customer interests.

The following applies to the Orizon employee referral programme: Personal data is processed as part of the employee referral process. This includes contact information such as the employee ID, name, email address, postal address and telephone number of the person making the referral. For the person being referred, it is the data provided during the application process.

The data is treated in the same way as a conventional application and is only supplemented by the information that it is a recommendation, who made the recommendation and what bonus the recommender is entitled to if the recommendation is successful. The amount of the bonus depends on the qualifications of the recommended persons and the business area. Further information can be found in our Orizon bonus rules.

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data as described above is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR for the recommender and Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR for the recommended person.

This data is stored exclusively for the purpose of employee referrals. If no employment relationship is established, the data will be deleted in accordance with our usual deletion periods.

The processing is carried out by the Orizon company that employs the employee making the recommendation and the company to which the recommended person is applying. These may be:

• Orizon GmbH, Berliner Allee 28c, 86153 Augsburg
• Orizon Outsourcing GmbH, Berliner Allee 28c, 86153 Augsburg
• Orizon Hamburg GmbH, Ludwig-Erhard-Straße 37, 20459 Hamburg

The processing of the data may therefore also include transfer to another Orizon company.

The following applies to the receipt of advertising: In order to maintain customer relationships, it may also be necessary for us or a service provider commissioned by us to use personal data to inform you about offers that are useful for your business activities or to better meet the tasks and requirements of our customers. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, whereby our legitimate interest lies in promoting our services.

4. Cookies

When you visit our website, we may store information on your computer in the form of a cookie. Cookies are small text files that are sent from a web server to your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive. No personal data of the user is stored, only the IP address. This information is used to automatically recognise you on your next visit to our websites and to make navigation easier for you. Cookies allow us, for example, to tailor a website to your interests or to store your password so that you do not have to re-enter it each time.

Further information and setting options for the cookies and similar technologies we use (hereinafter referred to collectively as ‘cookies’ for simplicity) can be found here:

For consent management, we use Usercentrics' cookie consent technology to obtain your consent to store certain cookies on your device or to use certain services and to document this in accordance with data protection regulations. This technology is provided by Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Straße 7, 80331 Munich, hereinafter referred to as ‘Usercentrics’.

When you visit our website, the following personal data is transferred to Usercentrics:

• Your consent(s) or the revocation of your consent(s)
• Your IP address
• URLs of the website requested by you
• Information about your browser
• Your geographical location
• Information about your device
• Time of your visit to the website

Furthermore, Usercentrics stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to assign the consents you have given or their revocation. The data collected in this way is stored until you request us to delete it, delete the Usercentrics cookie yourself or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory legal retention obligations remain unaffected. Usercentrics is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. Information on data protection at Usercentrics can be found in the company's privacy policy.

5. Transfer of public data from Xing and LinkedIn

The business networks Xing (operated by XING SE, Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg) and LinkedIn (operated by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland) allow public access to data that users have made available in their profiles. Unless users explicitly object to this in their profiles, we reserve the right to use information made publicly available there for the purpose of submitting job offers or possible collaborations and to transfer it to our internal databases. Personal data obtained in this way will be treated by us in the manner described above.

6. Use of WhatsApp

If you have given us your consent, communication between you and us can also take place via the WhatsApp messenger service. We use the WhatsApp Business programming interface for this purpose. You can give your consent when you enter your data with us as an applicant and your mobile phone number is included in the data.

The WhatsApp messaging service is offered by the US company WhatsApp Inc., a subsidiary of Meta Platforms Inc. WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible for the European region.

Your personal data is also processed by WhatsApp in the USA, among other places. WhatsApp uses standard contractual clauses as the basis for data processing, which raise the level of data protection in an unsafe third country (such as the USA) to a level that is essentially equivalent to the level of protection guaranteed in the EU. We have no influence on the data processing that takes place directly at WhatsApp. For more information on data processing and the protection of your privacy, please refer to WhatsApp's privacy policy here.

The following personal data is processed in the context of WhatsApp communication: telephone number, profile name, profile picture (if available), message content, date and time of messages sent.
The legal basis for processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, which you can give us when entering your data as an applicant.

7. Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of data subjects will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of processing no longer applies. Processing may also take place if this has been provided for by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controllers are subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

8. Recipients of data

If we transfer your data to third parties or otherwise grant them access to the data, this will also be done exclusively on the basis of a legal basis.

In certain cases, we use service providers to process your data. If data is passed on in the context of such order processing, this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.

When selecting our service providers and partners, we rely on European partners wherever possible if your personal data is to be processed. Data transfers to a third country only take place if the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. GDPR are met. The processing of your data may therefore only take place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the so-called ‘standard contractual clauses’ or, in individual cases, your consent. If the data is transferred to the USA or another country where there is no equivalent level of data protection, we would like to point out that there is a theoretical risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and surveillance purposes without you having any legal recourse.

9. Your rights

You have the following rights:

• Right to information
• Right to rectification
• Right to erasure
• Right to restriction of processing
• Right to withdraw consent
• Right to lodge a complaint
• Right to data portability

If necessary, please contact the data protection officer or the personnel manager responsible for you at the branch office.

10. Right of withdrawal

You may withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data by us at any time without giving reasons for the future. Processing prior to withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

If necessary, please contact the data protection officer or the personnel manager responsible for you at the branch office.

11. Children and young people

Persons under the age of 16 may not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We do not collect personal data from children and do not pass it on to third parties unless we have the consent of the legal guardians.

12. Changes to our data protection information

We reserve the right to change our security and data protection measures if this becomes necessary due to technical developments. In such cases, we will also amend our data protection information accordingly. Please therefore refer to the current version of our data protection agreement.

13. Obligation to provide data and automated decision-making

The provision of personal data is neither required by law nor contractually stipulated. However, the provision of personal data is necessary for the provision of certain services; if this is not provided, we cannot provide the services.

No automated decision-making takes place.

14. Questions, suggestions, complaints

If you have any further questions about our privacy policy and the processing of your personal data, you can contact our data protection officer directly. He is also available as a contact person in the event of requests for information, objections, suggestions or complaints.

3. Referrals and links

For direct or indirect references to external websites that are outside our responsibility, a liability obligation would come into force only in case we become aware of the contents and if it is technically possible and reasonable for us to prevent the use of any illegal content. We hereby expressly declare that at the time the links were established, no illegal contents were detected on the pages to be linked to. The author has no control over the current and future form and content or authorship of the site linked / referred to.

This statement applies to all links and references set within the internet offer as well as for external entries in our guest books, discussion forums and mailing lists.

Any duplication or use of such graphics, audio files, video sequences, and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without our express permission.

5. Legal validity of this liability disclaimer / Severability clause
