We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration. If you use this website, various personal data will be collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This data protection declaration explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens. We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the responsible body

The responsible body for data processing on this website is:

The responsible body is the natural or legal person who, alone or together with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Storage time

Unless a specific storage period has been specified in this data protection declaration, your personal data will remain with us, until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons have ceased to exist.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website

If you have consented to the data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR, if special data categories are processed according to Art. 9 (1) GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Article 49 (1) (a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access information on your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing takes place additionally on the basis of § 25 Abs. 1 TTDPA.

Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries

If these tools are active, your personal data can be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that in these countries no level of data protection comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed. For example, US companies are obliged to release personal data to security authorities, without you as the person concerned being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) process your data on US servers for surveillance purposes, evaluate and save permanently. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED IN ORDER TO MAKE DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING.

Registration on this website

You can register on our website to use additional functions on the site. We use the data entered for this purpose only for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise we will refuse the registration.
Our offer offers two types of user profiles: "private person" and "company representative".

Registration as "Private Person"

We attach great importance to data protection and the safety of private individuals. For this reason, for users who register as a "private person", only two mandatory fields are provided: e-mail address and password. The e-mail address is invisible to other users of the website. All other fields can be filled out as desired by the user. The corresponding data is only collected and stored if you expressly and knowingly provide us with such information. Anonymous chat with a built-in translator can be used for communication between the "private person" and the "company representative". The messages in this chat are only accessible to two parties: "private person" and "representative of the company". Messages from a chat remain stored on our web server for as long as until both participants of this chat have deleted it in their user profile.

What ads can a user who has registered as a "private person" publish?

There are two types of private advertisements: a CV with a job application and an order for a service provider.

Who can access these ads and to what extent?

The headline of a private ad is visible to all users of the website. The content of a private ad is visible to registered "company representative" users with an activated user profile. The contact details in a private ad are visible only to the users who are registered as "company representatives" Users are registered, with an activated user profile and verified company address.

How long will my ads stay on the site?

The advertisement can be published for an indefinite period or saved unpublished in your user profile. The associated data will only be deleted if you explicitly delete them or remove the entire user profile.

Registration as "company representative"

If you would like to register your company on our website in order to publish your job advertisements or advertise your services, a so-called imprint obligation applies to you. That means all mandatory fields with the contact details of your company and the names of the contact persons, responsible for your company's relevant job postings and services must be completed. The data is accessible for all the users of the website (not only for the registered "private persons").

What types of ads can a user who has registered as a "company representative" post?

There are two types of advertisements: job posting and service. Both variants have a limited release period. A permanent and free publication has the description of the company with the contact details.

Who can access these ads and to what extent?

The company's ads are visible to all website users - i.e. registered and unregistered users. The registered as "private person" users have an advantage: they can use an anonymous chat with an integrated translator. For a "company representative" only the name of a "private person" (if he has given it) will be visible. If a "private person" has activated publication of their user profile, the "company representative" can also access it.

How long will my ads be saved on the website?

Depending on the type of ad, it has a publication period (except for the company description). The publication of the ad can be ended manually or it happens automatically after the publication period has ended. Ads can be saved unpublished in your user profile. During this time, the data remains stored with the corresponding ads on the site. Only if you explicitly delete the ads or remove the entire user profile the associated data will be deleted.

The data entered during registration is processed on the basis of your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke any consent you have given at any time. An informal message by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation. The data collected during registration will be stored by us as long as you are registered on our website and will be deleted, once you have deleted your user profile. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Use of the email address provided during registration

- For important changes, such as the scope of the offer or technically necessary changes, we use the e-mail address provided during registration, to inform you in this way.
- To validate the registration of your user profile, we will send an email to your email address with a validation link.
- In case you forgot your password, we will send you a link to reset your password.

- If you have defined a search request (several search requests), depending on the user profile, we will send you a notification about the jobs found, Services, job advertisements and orders to your e-mail address.
