Newsletter subscription / Registration for events

Users of the Plunet GmbH website are given the option to subscribe to the newsletter published by our company. The type of personal data sent to the controller as part of your newsletter subscription request depends on the data entered in the relevant input fields. If you register for an event organized by Plunet GmbH, you can see which personal data will be saved in the input fields. This is usually data such as name, address, and company. The collection of this data is necessary to process the invitation and organization of the event.

Plunet GmbH uses the newsletter to periodically inform its customers and business partners about services provided by the company. In general, our company newsletter can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject has registered to receive the newsletter. When a data subject subscribes to the newsletter for the first time, a subscription confirmation email will be sent to email address provided by a data subject for legal reasons to provide a double opt-in. This confirmation email serves as verification that the holder of the email address provided as a data subject has authorized the newsletter subscription. This also applies accordingly when the data subject registers for an event.
As part of the newsletter or event registration process, we furthermore store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) to the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of these data is necessary in order to trace any (potential) misuse of a data subject’s email address at a later time and therefore serves as a legal safeguard for the controller.

The personal data collected during the process of registering for the newsletter or event will be exclusively used for sending the newsletter / organizing the event. Furthermore, newsletter subscribers may be informed by email, if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as may be the case if there are any changes to the newsletter service or to the technical conditions.

The personal data collected within the scope of a newsletter service or event registration will not be disclosed to third parties. The data subject can terminate the newsletter subscription at any time. Consent to store the data subject’s personal data for the newsletter service can be revoked at any time.

Each newsletter contains a corresponding link for the purpose of revoking consent. Subscribers can furthermore inform the controller of their decision to unsubscribe by other means (e.g. via email).

 

Contact options via the website

Due to statutory requirements, the Internet presence of Plunet GmbH contains information to allow quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, which includes a general address for “electronic mail” (email address). To the extent that a data subject contacts the controller via email or a contact form, any personal data provided by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data voluntarily transmitted by the data subject to the controller will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the relevant data subject. The personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.

 

Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The data subject’s personal data will be processed and stored by the controller only for the length of time required to fulfill the purpose of its storage or to the extent that this is required by EU directives and regulations or other statutory provisions applicable to the controller.

Personal data is routinely blocked or deleted according to statutory provisions as soon as the reason for storage of such information is no longer applicable or the retention period prescribed by EU directives and regulations or other applicable statutory provisions has expired.

 

Legal basis for processing

Article 6, paragraph 1, point a GDPR is the legal basis for processing operations at Plunet GmbH for which we request consent for specific purposes. Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract in which the data subject is a contractual party, e.g. for processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or return services, then the processing shall be based on Article 6, paragraph 1, point b GDPR. The same shall apply for processing operations necessary in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract, e.g. for requests regarding our products or services.

Where our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, e.g. the fulfillment of tax obligations, then such processing shall be based on Article 6, paragraph 1, point c GDPR. In rare instances, the processing of personal data may become necessary for the protection of vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. In such cases, the processing would be based on Article 6, paragraph 1, point d GDPR. Finally, processing operations may also be based on Article 6, paragraph 1, point f GDPR. This legal basis provides for processing operations not covered by any of the above if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Plunet GmbH or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. These processing operations are permitted in particular because they are mentioned specifically by the EU legislator. In its opinion, a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 GDPR).

Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

The European legislative and regulatory body grants every data subject affected by the processing of personal data the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller; or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

How long will your data be stored?

We store your personal data as long as it is required in order to make a decision about your application. In the event that an employment contract is not concluded between you and us, we may still store your data provided this is necessary to defend against potential legal claims. The application documents shall be stored for six months after the rejection is communicated to the applicant, unless a longer period of storage is required due to legal disputes. Invoices for any travel cost reimbursements shall be archived in accordance with the tax regulations. Applicant data will also be deleted if an application is withdrawn, which you are entitled to at any time.

What rights do you have?

As an applicant, you have the following data protection rights depending on the individual situation. You can contact us or our Data Protection Officer about exercising these rights at any time via the contact information above.

Right to access

You have the right to receive information about which personal data are processed by us as well as request access to your personal data and/or copies of these data. This includes information about the purpose of usage, the category of the data being used, the recipient and accessor of the data, and, if possible, the planned period of data storage, or, if this is not possible, the criteria for how this period is defined.

Rectification, erasure or restriction of processing

You have the right to request the immediate rectification of any incorrect personal data that concerns you. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data – also by means of a supplementary declaration.

Right to object

If the personal data concerning you is processed due to article 6, para. 1, letter f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of the data at any time for reasons resulting from your specific situation. As a result, we shall no longer process these personal data, unless we can prove that there are urgent reasons for processing, due to which the data cannot be deleted, which outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is required to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

Right of revocation

If the processing is based on consent, then you have the right to revoke your consent at any time. This will not affect the legality of the processing that was already carried out based on consent before your consent was revoked. To this end, you can contact us or our Data Protection Officer using the contact information above.

Right to erasure

You have the right to request that we immediately delete the personal data concerning you, and we are obliged to delete personal data immediately, provided one of the following reasons applies:

  • The personal data are no longer required for the purposes for which they were collected or processed in another way.
  • You object to the processing of the data in accordance with para. “Right to object” and there are no overriding valid reasons for the processing.
  • The personal data were processed unlawfully.
  • The deletion of the personal data is required in order to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which we are subject.

This does not apply if the processing is necessary in order to:

  • Comply with a legal obligation that requires the processing under Union law or the law of the Member States to which we are subject.
  • Assert, exercise or defend legal claims

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing from us if one of the following conditions is met:

  • You dispute the accuracy of the personal data, the processing will be restricted for a period of time that enables us to verify the accuracy of the personal data,
  • The processing is unlawful and you reject the deletion of the personal data, and instead request the restriction of usage of the personal data,
  • We no longer require the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you require them in order to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or
  • You have objected to the processing of the data in accordance with para. 9.c, provided it is not yet clear whether or not our justified reasons outweigh yours.

If the processing was limited according to para. “Right to restriction of processing”, then these personal data – notwithstanding their storage – can only be processed with your consent, or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of significant public interest on the part of the Union or a Member State.

If you have effected a restriction of processing, then we will inform you before the restriction is removed.

Right to appeal

Notwithstanding any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to appeal to a regulatory authroity, particularly in the Member State where you are staying, working or the location of the alleged breach, if you are of the opinion that the processing of the personal data concerning you violates the GDPR.

Necessity of providing personal data

The provision of personal data is neither legally nor contractually stipulated, and you are not obliged to provide personal data. However, providing personal data is required in order to enter into an employment contract with us. This means that if you do not provide any personal data in your application, we will not be able to enter into an employment contract with you.

No automated decision-making

No automated decision will be made in individual cases as defined by article 22 of the GDPR, which means that the decision about your application is not based on automated processing.
