RIEDEL Networks privacy policy

The protection of your personal data during your visit to our website is important to us. Your data is protected in accordance with the statutory provisions. We would like to inform you below about the nature and scope of the processing of personal data via this website in accordance with Article 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

  1. Information on the controller

Schlossstraße 10
35510 Butzbach

Phone: +49 (0) 6033 9169 100
E-Mail: RN-info@riedel.net

  1. Information on the data protection officer

If you have any questions about data protection, please contact our external data protection officer:

  1. data processing via the website

Your visit to our website is logged. The following data, which your browser transmits to us, is initially recorded

  • the IP address currently used by your PC or router
  • Date and time
  • Browser type and version
  • the operating system of your PC
  • the pages you have viewed
  • the name and size of the requested file(s)
  • and, if applicable, the URL of the referring website.

This data is only collected for the purposes of data security, to improve our website and to analyze errors on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We reserve the right to use this data in the event of system misuse in order to determine the reasons and the trigger for the misuse and, if necessary, to take legal action. Otherwise, the IP address of your computer is only evaluated anonymously (shortened by the last 3 digits).

You can visit our website without providing any personal details.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. You should therefore send us confidential data by other means, e.g. by post.

  1. Job Applications

Please apply exclusively via our career portal. Unfortunately, we cannot process applications by e-mail or post for data protection reasons.

You can reach our applicant portal at

https://riedelcommunications.softgarden.io/de/vacancies

The controller processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. The legal basis is Section 26 para. 1 sentence 1 of German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends the relevant application documents to the controller by electronic means. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be deleted after the advertised position has been filled, taking into account the statutory provisions, provided that deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests of the controller. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). For this purpose, the data will be stored for 6 months after completion of the application process and then deleted.

If you have consented to being included in our talent pool, we will also store your data in order to consider your application data for other vacancies in our company. For this purpose, we store your data for 12 months and then delete it. The legal basis is your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

  1. Contact

Personal data (e.g. your name, address data or contact details) that you provide to us voluntarily, e.g. as part of an inquiry or in any other way, will be stored by us and processed only for correspondence with you and only for the purpose for which you have provided us with this data. This data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in responding quickly to inquiries from interested parties as of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

  1. Secure data transmission

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use a state-of-the-art encryption method (SSL) via HTTPS.

  1. Recipients of personal data

We may use service providers by way of commissioned data processing to carry out and handle processing operations.

The contractual relationships with our service providers are regulated in accordance with the provisions of Art. 28 GDPR, which contain the legally required points on data protection and data security.

  1. Newsletter

If you subscribe to our company's newsletter, the data in the respective input mask will be transmitted to the controller. Subscription to our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registering, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no-one can register with other people's email addresses. When registering for the newsletter, the user's IP address and the date and time of registration are stored. This serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address of the person concerned. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter. Subscription to the newsletter can be terminated by the data subject at any time. Consent to the storage of personal data can also be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link for this purpose in every newsletter. The legal basis for the processing of data after registration for the newsletter by the user is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given consent. The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is Section 7 (3) of German Act against Unfair Competition (UWG).

For the distribution of our newsletter and the associated performance measurement, we use the services of HubSpot, provided by HubSpot, Inc., 25 First Street, 2nd Floor, Cambridge, MA 02141, USA (“HubSpot”). In connection with sending our newsletter via HubSpot, we analyze your user behavior. The e-mails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, i.e., small graphic files that are retrieved from HubSpot’s servers when the newsletter is opened. During this retrieval, the following technical information is collected:

  • Information about your browser and system,
  • Your IP address, and
  • The time of retrieval.

This information is used for the technical improvement of our services and for statistical analysis. In addition, it can be determined whether a newsletter was opened, when it was read, and which links were clicked. This usage analysis helps us tailor the content of our newsletters better to the interests of the recipients. The evaluation is carried out in a pseudonymized manner; a direct association with your person does not take place as a general rule, unless you have expressly consented. By subscribing to our newsletter, you consent to this tracking. You may object to this tracking at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter.

HubSpot processes your data exclusively on our behalf and based on a data processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. Data transmission to the USA cannot be excluded. HubSpot is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, ensuring an adequate level of data protection. Further information on data protection at HubSpot is available at: https://legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy.

The data stored by us as part of your consent for the purpose of the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from both our servers and the servers of rapidmail after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the member area) remain unaffected by this.

You have the option to revoke your consent to data processing at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

  1. Use of cookies

So-called cookies are used on our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored by your browser and saved on your computer. Cookies are used to make the website more user-friendly. For example, it is possible to recognize the user for the duration of the session without having to constantly re-enter the user name and password. The cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and are deleted at the end of your session. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Some of the cookies we use are deleted immediately after you close your browser (so-called session cookies).

Other cookies remain on your end device and make it possible to recognize your browser the next time you visit (persistent cookies).

Data processing in connection with cookies that are used solely to establish the functionality of our online offer is based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

In all other cases, we only use cookies with your consent. The legal basis is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time by changing your cookie settings. You will find the link hereto at the bottom left of the website.

If you do not wish cookies to be used, you can set your browser so that the storage of cookies is not accepted. Please note, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of our website.

We use the Google Tag Manager service from Google. "Google" is a group of companies consisting of Google Ireland Ltd (provider of the service), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland and Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA and other affiliated companies of Google LLC.

We have concluded an order processing contract with Google. Google Tag Manager is an auxiliary service and processes personal data itself only for technically necessary purposes. Google Tag Manager ensures that other components are loaded, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

You can find more information about Google Tag Manager in Google's privacy policy.

https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

Please note that American authorities, such as intelligence agencies, could possibly gain access to personal data that is inevitably exchanged with Google when this service is integrated due to the Internet Protocol (TCP) due to American laws such as the Cloud Act.

The basis for data processing in this case is the EU-U.S. data privacy agreement “Data Privacy Framework,” which allows for the lawful transfer of personal data to a third country in accordance with European data protection laws and regulations (cf. Art. 45 GDPR). To learn more about the “Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) and to view the list of companies already certified under the DPF, please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/.

  1. Plausible Analytics

We use the web analysis service "Plausible Analytics" to continuously optimize our offer, both technically and in terms of content. Plausible is a trademark of Plausible Insights OÜ, Västriku tn 2, 50403, Tartu, Estonia, hereinafter referred to as "Plausible". For this purpose, Plausible collects the following information, among other things Date and time of your visit, title and URL of the pages visited, incoming links, the country you are in and the user agent of your browser software. Plausible does not use or store "cookies" on your end device. All personal data (e.g. your IP address) is stored completely anonymized in the form of a so-called hash. A hash is an encryption of data that cannot be reversed, i.e. cannot be "decrypted". In this way, we can analyze your visit without storing personal data in a form that could be read by us, Plausible or third parties.

In order to make transparent which data we collect, you can take a look at the complete statistics of this page yourself: https://plausible.io/wemake.de.

Further information on the technical implementation can be found here: https://plausible.io/privacy-focused-web-analytics.
