Privacy Statement

Data protection is of a particularly high priority for DEUTZ Deutschland GmbH. When using the website of DEUTZ Deutschland GmbH, personal data is processed. The processing of personal data is always in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to DEUTZ Deutschland GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, we would like to inform about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.

As the controller, DEUTZ Deutschland GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can always be subject to security vulnerabilities, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

The following privacy statement gives you an overview of how we ensure this protection and what kind of data is collected for which purpose. You will also be informed about your rights.

1. Definitions according to Art. 4 GDPR

Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used:

 a)    Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“user”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

 b)    Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

 c)    Controller or controller responsible for the processing

Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

 d)    Processor

Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller. The controller may arrange for the transfer to one or more processors who also use the personal data exclusively for an internal purpose similar to that of the controller. If a processor is used, a corresponding data processing contract is concluded.

 e)    Recipient

Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.

 f)    Third party

Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

 g)    Consent

Consent of the user is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the users wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

 h)    Profiling

Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.

2. Processing of personal data

Opening of the website

Each time a data subject or automated system calls up the website, DEUTZ Deutschland GmbH collects a series of general data and information. This general data and information are stored in the log files of the server. The following data may be collected: (1) the versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website, (4) the date and time of an access to the website, (5) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (6) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (7) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, the DEUTZ Deutschland GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed (1) to deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) to optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the DEUTZ Deutschland GmbH analyzes anonymously collected data and information on one hand, and on the other hand, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, 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 any personal data provided by a data subject.

3. Transfer of personal data

As a matter of principle, your data will only be forwarded to responsible internal departments and specialist departments. Your personal data will not be passed on to other companies affiliated with DEUTZ Deutschland GmbH without your prior express consent.

Among other things, we use tools from companies whose structure also includes companies outside the EU. These third countries do not always have a level of data protection appropriate to GDPR. Arbitrary access by investigating authorities can therefore not be completely ruled out, which may affect the rights and freedoms of data subjects. However, Deutz Deutschland GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website.

Any further use or disclosure of your personal data to third parties will not take place.

4.  Contact possibility via the website

If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or by post, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. No disclosure of this personal data to third parties will take place.

5. Legal basis of the processing

The legal basis of the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR (initiation or fulfillment of legal transactions/performance of contract)

6. Storage duration of personal data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where provided for by the European Directive and Regulation or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject. If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation Maker or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be deleted routinely and in accordance with the statutory provisions.

7. Cookies

8. Data protection for applications and the application procedures

The data controller shall collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of the processing of the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is the case, in particular, if an applicant submits corresponding application documents by e-mail or by means of a web form on the website (or the candidate portal) to the controller. As part of the application process, the interviews required to establish an employment relationship may also take place virtually. For this purpose, the controller regularly uses the Microsoft application TEAMS. Information on data processing when using Microsoft Teams can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/microsoftteams/teams-privacy. If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the submitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the controller, the application documents shall be automatically erased three months after notification of the refusal decision, unless there is separate consent on the part of the applicant for longer-term storage of the data, or provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller are opposed to the erasure.

The DEUTZ Deutschland GmbH shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If the DEUTZ Deutschland GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data processed for such marketing.
