Moreover, it is possible that we commission other companies or individuals with the fulfilment of tasks in our name, for instance services that you requested through the contact inquiry (e.g. a printed product brochure). In this case, it is possible that the companies commissioned by us get to process your data for the intended purpose. For more detailed information regarding this matter, please see the section “Obligations of Employees and external Service Providers” and “Cooperation with external Service Providers”.

TRANSMISSION OF PERSONAL DATA IN A THIRD COUNTRY
We do not have the intention to transmit personal data beyond the geographic scope of the GDPR. However, given that we occasionally use web services provided by Google (e.g. for the graphic layout of the slogans we use “fonts.gstatic.com”), data such as, for instance, IP addresses and/or so-called referral links or online identifiers might be transmitted, depending on your browser settings. Since we do not initiate the combination of that data, it cannot be ruled out that personal data is created and/or processed beyond the geographic scope of the GDPR. It is possible to prevent the transmission in your browser; for more information regarding this matter, please read the section “Use of Google Maps”.

DURATION OF STORAGE
Personal data that has been submitted over our own website will only be stored until its intended purpose is fulfilled. Taking retention periods in accordance with commercial and fiscal laws into consideration, the duration of storage of specific data can be up to 10 years.

INTENTION OF DATA COLLECTION
The use of our page is generally possible without submitting personal data. In order to use particular services on our page, however, different regulations might apply that, in this case, will be individually elaborated and inform you especially about the nature, extent and purpose of the collection and processing of personal data. Nevertheless, we only generally only process personal data whenever it is necessary for providing a functional website as well as contents and services. In case of data collection, it is for the purpose of technical provision of our online presence, for informational purposes and for contractual purposes when providing services. Your personal data will be used exclusively for the aforementioned purposes and only within the scope and to the extent necessary to fulfil these purposes. If you apply for employment at Elektra Tailfingen, another purpose for data processing is the potential conclusion of an employment contract.

LEGAL BASE OF DATA COLLECTION
Personal data may only be processed in accordance with a legal base. Whenever we process personal data in the scope of our web presence, we generally do so due to legitimate interest of the person responsible, article 6, paragraph 1 GDPR.

The preservation of legitimate interests is a balance of interests and includes not only our interests as the company responsible for the processing but also the interests of the users of our websites. We as a company want to inform you about our company as well as our services. You as a user and potential customer, supplier, competitor, information seeker and/or applicant have an interest in informing yourself about is, our services and products in a technically accessible and comfortable way. Moreover, we give our visitors the opportunity to get into contact with us through our website. Respectively, the processing of data complies with the interests on both ends. At the same time, the processing of personal data is reduced to a minimal extent so that we come to the conclusion that the preservation of legitimate interest can act as the legal base for the processing.

In regard to the application process, we use the legal ground of contract and contract initiation (article 6, paragraph 1 GDPR), especially § 26 BDSG (German Data Protection Law, Data Processing for Purposes of Employment Relationships). For more information, see the section “Applications”.

In addition, we use the legal ground of consent in regard to the application process (article 6, paragraph 1 GDPR). This consent is voluntary and serves the purpose of staff recruitment and transmission of your data into an internal talent pool. For more information, see the section “Applications”. You can freely choose whether you would like to give consent or decline. There will be no negative consequences whatsoever in case of declination. You can revoke previously given consent partially or fully at any time. The legality of processing on the legal ground of consent will persist until the revocation. This means that even in case of revocation of consent, the processing that happened in the past will not become unlawful.
