1. Definitions

The data protection declaration of PACCOR Packaging GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. In order to ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance. In this Privacy Policy, we use the following terms, among others:

a) Personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the "data subject"). Identifiable is a natural person who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by association with an identifier such as a name, identification number, location data, online identifier or one or more specific characteristics that are an expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

B) Data subject

The data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

c) Processing

Processing is any operation or series of operations carried out with or without the help of automated procedures in connection with personal data such as the collection, collection, organization, ordering, storage, adaptation or modification, reading, querying, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, comparison or linking, restriction, deletion or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.

e) Profiling

Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data that consists in the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects relating to work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, whereabouts or relocation of that natural person.

f) Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be assigned to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller

The person responsible for processing or the controller is the natural or legal person, authority, body or other body which decides, alone or jointly with others, on the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller may or may provide for the specific criteria for his designation in accordance with Union law or the law of the Member States.

h) Processors

Processor is a natural or legal person, authority, body or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipients

Recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, body or other body to which personal data are disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, authorities which may receive personal data under Union or Member State law under a particular investigative mission shall not be deemed to be recipients.

j) Third parties

A third party is a natural or legal person, authority, body or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorized to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor.

k) Consent

Consent is any statement of intent voluntarily made by the data subject in an informed and unequivocal manner in the form of a declaration or other unambiguous affirmative act in which the data subject indicates that he or she agrees to the processing of the personal data concerning him or her.

2. Name and address of the controller

Email: legal@paccor.com
Website: www.paccor.com

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or want to exercise your rights set out in this Privacy Policy, please contact us by sending an e-mail to ISO@paccor.com.

If you are accessing the Site from Germany or you are being provided Services in Germany, please note that the PACCOR German entities have a Data Protection Officer whose details are as follows DPO@paccor.com.

4. Cookies

The websites of PACCOR Packaging GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and stored on a computer system via an internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string by which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, PACCOR Packaging GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized in the sense of the user. Cookies allow us to recognize the users of our website, as mentioned above. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his access data every time he visits the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in the online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

5. Collection of general data and information

The website of PACCOR Packaging GmbH collects a series of general data and information with each call-up of the website by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information are not fully stored in the log files of the server. The Internet protocol address (IP address) is stored anonymously via Google Analytics. 
When using this general data and information, PACCOR Packaging GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) correctly deliver the contents of our website, and (2) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for law enforcement in the event of a cyber-attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated statistically by PACCOR Packaging GmbH on the one hand and further with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, in order to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

6. Data transfer to countries outside the EU

To the extent necessary for our purposes, we also transfer your data to recipients outside the EU if you have given your consent, if there is a legal obligation or if the transfer of data is permitted on the basis of another legal basis. For example, your data will also be transferred to recipients based in the USA as part of data processing. An adequate level of data protection is basically ensured by the conclusion of the so-called EU standard contractual clauses. Please note, however, that according to a recent ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ), there is no adequate level of data protection in the USA and thus a risk to the protection of your data. For example, under certain circumstances, your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes. As far as possible, we have concluded/will conclude the new EU standard data protection clauses with the providers. For the rest, we refer to Art. 49 DSGVO regarding the legal basis for the data transfer.

7. Third-party websites

Emails from PACCOR or its business partners and the Site itself may contain links to other Internet sites, including websites that may be owned or operated by PACCOR. The Site may also link to or integrate third-party websites or services to place orders, process payments, and provide other services. Unless expressly stated otherwise, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites, including the use of information through these websites that are collected when email recipients or visitors to the site click on or use websites through the services provided. When you visit or use such websites or the services they provide through the Site, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the privacy practices and terms of use of such websites.

8. Possibility of contact via the website

Due to legal regulations, the website of PACCOR Packaging GmbH contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller shall be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

9. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller shall only process and store the data subject's personal data for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or if this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in the laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the purpose of storage is waived or a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be blocked or deleted routinely and in accordance with the statutory provisions.

10. Rights of the data subject

a) Right to confirmation

Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to require the controller to certify whether personal data concerning him or her will be processed. If a data subject wishes to use this right of confirmation, he or she may at any time contact iso@paccor.com.

b) Right to information

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain free information at any time from the controller about the personal data stored about him or her and a copy of that information. In addition, the European legislator has granted the data subject information on the following information:

  • the processing purposes

If this is the case, the data subject shall also have the right to obtain information on the appropriate guarantees in connection with the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to aver this right of access, he or she may at any time contact an employee of the controller.

c) Right to correction

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data shall have the right granted by the European legislator to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him/her. In addition, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary declaration.
If a data subject wishes to make use of this right of correction, he or she may at any time contact iso@paccor.com.

d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data shall have the right granted by the European legislator to require the controller to delete the personal data concerning him or her without delay, provided that one of the following reasons is true and that the processing is not necessary:

  • The personal data have been collected or processed in any other way for which they are no longer necessary.
  • The data subject withdraws his consent on which the processing was based in accordance with Article 6(1) (a) GDPR or Article 9(2) (a) GDPR and there is no other legal basis for processing.
  • The data subject objects to the processing in accordance with Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no legitimate priority grounds for processing, or the data subject objects to the processing in accordance with Article 21(2) GDPR.
  • The personal data were processed unlawfully.
  • The erasure of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
  • The personal data were collected in relation to the information society services offered in accordance with Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the deletion of personal data stored by PACCOR Packaging GmbH, he or she may at any time contact iso@paccor.com. The employee of PACCOR Packaging GmbH will arrange for the deletion request to be complied with without delay.

If the personal data have been made public by PACCOR Packaging GmbH and our company is obliged to delete the personal data in accordance with Art. 17 sec. 1 GDPR, PACCOR Packaging GmbH shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and implementation costs, in order to inform other data controllers who process the published personal data, that the data subject has requested from these other data controllers the deletion of all links to such personal data or copies or replicas of such personal data, unless the processing is necessary. The relevant employee of PACCOR Packaging GmbH will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

e) Right to restrict processing

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data shall have the right granted by the European legislator to require the controller to restrict the processing if one of the following conditions is met:

  • The accuracy of the personal data is disputed by the data subject for a period of time that allows the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
  • The processing is unlawful, the data subject refuses to delete the personal data and instead demands the restriction of the use of the personal data.
  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
  • The data subject has objected to the processing in accordance with Article 21(1) of the GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh those of the data subject.

If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by PACCOR Packaging GmbH, he or she may at any time contact iso@paccor.com. The relevant employee of PACCOR Packaging GmbH will arrange for the restriction of processing.

f) Right to data portability

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain the personal data concerning him or her, which have been provided by the data subject to a controller, in a structured, common and machine-readable format. It also has the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance by the controller to whom the personal data were provided, provided that the processing is based on the consent in accordance with Article 6(1) (a) GDPR or Article 9(2) (a) OR on a contract under Article 6(1) (b) of the GDPR and the processing is carried out using automated procedures, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task which is in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority entrusted to the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising his right to data portability in accordance with Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to obtain that the personal data be transferred directly from a controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible and provided that this does not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons.

In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact iso@paccor.com.

g) Right to object

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data shall have the right granted by the European legislator to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him or her, on the basis of Article 6(1) (e) or (f) GDPR, for reasons arising from his or her particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

PACCOR Packaging GmbH will no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can prove compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If PACCOR Packaging GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such advertising. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to PACCOR Packaging GmbH's processing for direct marketing purposes, PACCOR Packaging GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) GDPR, for reasons arising from his or her particular situation, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest.

In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact iso@paccor.com. The data subject is also free to exercise his right of objection in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

h) Automated decisions on a case-by-case basis, including profiling

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which has legal effect towards him or otherwise significantly affects it, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is permitted by Union or Member State legislation to which the controller is subject and that legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) takes place with the express consent of the data subject.

If the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) it is made with the express consent of the data subject, PACCOR Packaging GmbH shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, on presentation of one's own point of view and on the challenge of the decision.

11. Privacy Policy on the Use and Use of Google Analytics (with Anonymization)

The controller has integrated the component Google Analytics (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection, collection and evaluation of data on the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data about which website a data subject came to a website from (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for what length of stay a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used for optimizing a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The controller uses the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the data subject's Internet connection is truncated by Google and anonymized when access to our websites is made from a Member State of the European Union or from another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is able to analyze the use of our website. Every time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical procedure, Google becomes aware of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which, among other things, serve Google to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission statements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Every time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transferred to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already shown above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics, related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and to prevent such data. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/ aoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about the visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as a contradiction. If the data subject's information technology system is later deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person who is imputable to his or her power, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Further information and Google's applicable privacy policy are available at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/  and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail under this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

12. Google WebFonts

The website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google").
When accessing one of our websites, the visitor's browser loads the required web fonts into the browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the affected browser must connect to Google's servers. In this way, Google becomes aware of the IP address of the visitor that has accessed our website.
The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If your browser does not support Web Fonts, a default font is used by your computer system.

13. Privacy Policy on the Use and Use of LinkedIn

The controller has integrated components of LinkedIn Corporation on this website. LinkedIn is an Internet-based social network that enables users to connect with existing business contacts and to establish new business contacts. More than 400 million registered people use LinkedIn in more than 200 countries. This makes LinkedIn the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites in the world.

LinkedIn is operated by the LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland is responsible for data protection matters outside the United States.

Every time we access our website, which is equipped with a LinkedIn component, this component causes the browser used by the data subject to download a corresponding representation of the component of LinkedIn. For more information about the LinkedIn plug-ins, see https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. As part of this technical process, LinkedIn is informed about which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to LinkedIn at the same time, LinkedIn recognizes with each call-up of our website by the data subject and during the entire duration of the respective stay on our website, which specific sub-page of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the LinkedIn component and assigned to the respective LinkedIn account of the data subject through LinkedIn. If the data subject presses a LinkedIn button integrated on our website, LinkedIn assigns this information to the personal LinkedIn user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

LinkedIn receives information via the LinkedIn component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged in to LinkedIn at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the LinkedIn component or not. If such a transmission of this information to LinkedIn is not wanted by the data subject, the data subject can prevent the transmission by logging out of his LinkedIn account before calling up our website.

LinkedIn provides the ability to unsubscribe from e-mail messages, SMS messages, and targeted ads, as well as manage ad settings, under https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls. LinkedIn also uses partners such as Quantcast, Google Analytics, BlueKai, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Comscore, Eloqua and Lotame who can set cookies. Such cookies can be rejected under https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy. LinkedIn's current privacy policy is available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy. LinkedIn's cookie policy is available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy.

14. Privacy policy on the use and application of Facebook

The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that usually allows users to communicate and interact with each other in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for sharing opinions and experiences or allows the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows social network users to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests, among other things.

Facebook's operating company is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the data controller is Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland.

By each call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Facebook receives knowledge of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting each time the data subject calls up our website and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Like" button, or if the data subject makes a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time as calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Facebook account before accessing our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, which can be accessed at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

15. Privacy policy on the use and application of Instagram

The controller has integrated components of the Instagram service on this website. Instagram is a service that qualifies as an audiovisual platform and allows users to share photos and videos and also to redistribute such data on other social networks.

The company operating the Instagram services is Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2 Ireland.

By each call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which an Instagram component (Insta button) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective Instagram component to download a representation of the corresponding component from Instagram. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Instagram receives knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged into Instagram at the same time, Instagram recognises which specific subpage the data subject is visiting each time the data subject calls up our website and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Instagram component and assigned by Instagram to the respective Instagram account of the data subject.

19. Online application 

On the website of PACCOR, we collect and process application data using the applicant management system SmartRecruiters (SmartRecruiters, Inc., 225 Bush Street, Suite No. 300, San Francisco CA 94104, USA) and assure that we have taken all necessary measures with the system provider to comply with data protection regulations in accordance with the applicable GDPR. 

a) Where can I find the privacy policy regarding the application process at PACCOR?

We offer the recruitment privacy policy in different languages:

In addition we refer to SmartRecruiters‘ Privacy Policy and Terms of Use:

B) What data is collected? 

We only collect the information required for an application process with us. When you apply for a position with us, you will be asked for certain personal data (e.g. name, address, e-mail). In addition, position-related questions may be asked. In order to apply for a job at our company, it is also necessary to provide us with information about your professional background. Please note that your data will not be stored anonymously but will be accessible to the HR department and the hiring managers at our company who are relevant to the position. If your application is followed by the conclusion of an employment contract, your submitted data may be stored in your employee file for the purposes of the usual organizational and administrative process in compliance with the relevant legal provisions. 

C) With whom do we share your personal data?

The information you provide to us will be treated confidentially and will only be shared with those involved in a specific application process. Your personal data will only be considered for the positions for which you have given us your consent.

D) Right of access, editing and deletion of your resume

Of course, you have the option to have your data and documents deleted at any time or to delete them yourself in your applicant portal. If your job application is rejected, the data you submitted will be deleted automatically six months after notification of the rejection. This does not apply if longer storage is necessary due to legal requirements (for example, the duty of proof under the General Equal Treatment Act) or if you have expressly consented to longer storage in our database of interested parties. 

20. Legal basis of processing

Article 6 I lit. a of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, in the case of processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing shall be based on Article 6 I lit. b of the GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c of the GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were to be injured and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. The processing would then be based on Article 6 I lit. d of the GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Article 6 I lit. f of the GDPR. This legal basis is based on processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases where the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are allowed to do this kind of processing, in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In that regard, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be presumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47 sentence 2 of the GDPR).

21. Eligible interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party

Based on Article 6 I lit. f of the GDPR, our legitimate interest in carrying out our business for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders is based on Article 6 I lit. f of the GDPR.

22. Duration for which the personal data is stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective legal retention period. After the expiry of the period, the relevant data will be routinely deleted, provided that they are no longer necessary for the performance of the contract or initiation of the contract.

23. Legal or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provisioning

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). In some ways, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact iso@paccor.com. We shall clarify on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is required for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what consequences the non-provision of the personal data would have.

24. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.

25. The right to complain to the competent supervisory authority

In the event of data protection violations, the person concerned has the right to complain to the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority in matters of data protection law is the state data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found for Germany at the following link:
https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html 
You can report them to your national data protection authority, whose contact details are available at http://ec.europa.eu/Justice/Article-29/Structure/DataProtectionAuthorities/index_en.htm.

This data protection declaration was prepared by the data protection declaration generator of the DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, which operates as the External Data Protection Officer Schweinfurt, in cooperation with the lawyer for data protection law  Christian Solmecke.
