1.1 In the following, we provide information about the processing of personal data when using our website. Personal data is all data that can be related to you personally, e.g. name, address, email addresses and user behavior. In doing so, we would like to inform you about our processing procedures and at the same time comply with legal obligations, in particular those arising from the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
1.2 The controller pursuant to Art. 4 (7) GDPR is Antonio Zill, Pettenkoferstraße 33, 80336 Munich, info@jobkey.eu (see our legal notice) (hereinafter also referred to as "we", "us" or "our" ).
1.3 If we use contracted service providers for individual functions of our offer or wish to use your data for advertising purposes, we will always carefully select and monitor these service providers and inform you in detail below about the respective processes. In doing so, we will also state the specified criteria for the storage period.

3.1 When using the website for information purposes, i.e. simply viewing it without registering and without providing us with any other information, we process the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. The data described below is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security and must therefore be processed by us. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR:

3.1.2 Date and time of the request,
3.1.3 Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT),
3.1.4 Websites that are accessed by your system via our website,

Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
5.1 If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you can withdraw it at any time. Such a revocation affects the permissibility of the processing of your personal data after you have given it to us. The permissibility of the processing of your data up to the time of your revocation remains unaffected.
5.2 If we base the processing of your personal data on a balancing of interests, you can object to the processing. This is the case if, in particular, the processing is not necessary for the performance of a contract with you, which is described by us in the following description of the functions. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data in the way we do. In the event of your objection, we will examine the situation and will either discontinue or adapt the data processing or show you our compelling reasons worthy of protection on the basis of which we will continue the processing.
5.3 Of course, you can object to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes at any time. You can exercise your objection to advertising using the contact details given above.
6.1 We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
6.2 In some cases, we will anonymize your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you. In this case, we will use this data without further notice to you.
6.3 If you have any questions about the storage of your personal data, you can contact us using the contact details provided above.
7.1 In addition to the purely informational use of our website, we offer various services that you can use if you are interested and use other common functions to analyze or market our offers, which are presented in more detail below. For this purpose, you must generally provide additional personal data or we process such additional data that we use to provide the respective services. The aforementioned data processing principles apply to all data processing purposes described here.
7.2 In some cases, we use external service providers to process your data. These are carefully selected by us, are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored.
7.3 Furthermore, we may pass on your personal data to third parties if we offer participation in promotions, competitions, contracts or similar services together with partners. Depending on the service, your data may also be collected by the partners on their own responsibility. You will receive more detailed information when you provide your data or below in the description of the respective offers.
7.4 If our service providers or partners are based in a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will inform you of the consequences of this circumstance in the description of the offer.
8.1 In addition to the above-mentioned data, we use technical aids for various functions when you use our website, in particular cookies, which can be stored on your end device. When you access our website and at any time thereafter, you have the choice of whether you generally allow cookies to be set or which individual additional functions you would like to select. You can make changes in your browser settings or via our Consent Manager. In the following, we first describe cookies from a technical point of view before going into more detail about your individual choices by describing technically necessary cookies and cookies that you can voluntarily select or deselect.
8.2 Cookies are text files or information in a database that are stored on your hard disk and assigned to the browser you are using so that certain information can flow to the location that sets the cookie. Cookies cannot execute programs or transfer viruses to your computer, but are primarily used to make the website faster and more user-friendly. This website uses the following types of cookies, whose function and legal basis we will explain below:
8.2.1 Transient cookies: Such cookies, especially session cookies, are automatically deleted when you close your browser or log out. They contain a so-called session ID. This allows various requests from your browser to be assigned to the shared session and your computer can be recognized when you return to our website.
8.2.2 Persistent cookies: These are automatically deleted after a specified period, which varies depending on the cookie. You can view the cookies set and the duration at any time in your browser settings and delete the cookies manually.
8.2.3 Other technologies: These functions are not based on cookies, but on similar technical mechanisms, such as Flash cookies, HTML5 objects or an analysis of your browser settings. As a result, we can also use the technologies described below. Here, too, you can of course consent or object.
8.3 Mandatory functions that are technically necessary to display the website: The technical structure of the website requires that we use technologies, in particular cookies. Without these technologies, our website cannot be displayed (completely and correctly) or the support functions could not be enabled. These are basically transient cookies that are deleted at the end of your visit to the website, at the latest when you close your browser. You cannot deselect these cookies if you wish to use our website. The individual cookies can be seen in the Consent Manager. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
8.4 Optional cookies if you give your consent: We only set various cookies with your consent, which you can select on your first visit to our website via the so-called cookie consent tool. The functions are only activated if you give your consent and can be used in particular to enable us to analyze and improve visits to our website, to make it easier for you to use different browsers or end devices, to recognize you when you visit us again or to place advertising (possibly also to tailor advertising to your interests or to measure the effectiveness of advertisements). The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time without this affecting the lawfulness of processing up to the point of withdrawal.
9.1 With the statistical collection through online marketing measures, we want to design our website to meet your needs and continuously adapt it for you, as our user, and optimize its use. Unless otherwise stated below, the online marketing and tracking measures we use are based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. Insofar as your data is transferred to the USA, this is done on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. In addition, the service providers concerned have undertaken to us under a standard contractual clause that a level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU is guaranteed in third countries outside the EU to which data is exported.
9.2 Google Analytics
9.2.1 If you have given your consent, Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), is used on this website. The use includes the Universal Analytics operating mode: This makes it possible to assign data, sessions and interactions across multiple devices to a pseudonymous user ID and thus to analyze the activities of a user across devices. Google Analytics uses cookies, i.e. text files that are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analyzed. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. We would like to point out that Google Analytics has been extended to include IP anonymization on this website in order to ensure anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can find more information on terms of use and data protection at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at https://policies.google.com/?hl=de. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.
9.2.2 The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs will be automatically deleted after 14 months. Data that has reached the end of its retention period is automatically deleted once a month.
9.2.3 You can find more information on the terms of use and data protection of Google Analytics at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html.
9.2.4 You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
You can deactivate the use of your personal data by Google by clicking on the following link: https://myadcenter.google.de.
9.3 Google Ads / Conversion Tracking
9.3.1 We also use the online advertising program "Google Ads" and conversion tracking as part of Google Ads. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is stored on your device. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you have clicked on the ad and have been redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. It is therefore not possible for cookies to be tracked via the websites of Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. This tells customers the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag.
9.3.2 If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by preventing the installation of cookies from the domain"googleadservices.com" by setting your browser software accordingly. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. Further information and Google's privacy policy can be found at http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/ and http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
9.4 Use of Google Tag Manager
9.4.1 This site uses Google Tag Manager, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").
9.4.2 Tag Manager is used to manage usage data analysis tools and other services, so-called website tags. A tag is an element that is integrated via the Google Tag Manager and implemented in the source code of the website, for example to record specified usage and interactions. The Google Tag Manager also enables us to integrate partners in the context of online advertising. The Google Tag Manager acts as a kind of container for loading and managing other components, which in turn may collect data (subject to the user's consent). Google states that aggregated tag triggering data can be collected to monitor the stability and performance of the system with Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager can also process online identifiers (including cookie identifiers) and IP addresses.
9.4.3 The legal basis for the processing of personal data using Google Tag Manager is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in a simplified and clear integration of various services and optimization of the loading times of the various services and thus improvement of the functionality of our website.
9.4.4 Since Google acts as a processor for us in the context of the above data processing and in accordance with the "processor services", it cannot be ruled out that Google will transfer your personal data to Google LLC (USA) for further processing. For this purpose, there are standard contractual clauses with Google LLC in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR. Service providers used from the USA are generally certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF).
9.5 Tracking pixels
9.5.1 So-called tracking pixels are used on our website. These are 1×1 pixel code snippets that determine the browser type via the browser ID, i.e. the individual fingerprint of the browser. This allows the service provider to see when and how many users accessed the pixel when the website was visited. Such tracking pixels can be prevented by you, for example by tools such as webwasher or AdBlock.
9.5.2 Without your express consent, we will not use tracking pixels to collect personal data about you unnoticed or to transmit such data to third-party providers and marketing platforms.
9.5.3 The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary pixels is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
9.6 Microsoft Clarity
9.6.1 We use Microsoft Clarity on our website. This is a web analysis service provided by Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052 USA, hereinafter referred to as "Microsoft".
9.6.2 Through certification in accordance with the EU-US Privacy Shield, Microsoft guarantees that the data protection requirements of the EU are also complied with when processing data in the USA.
9.6.3 The Microsoft Clarity service is used to analyze the usage behavior of our website. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website.
9.6.4 Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of visits to our website, is transmitted to a Microsoft server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Microsoft Clarity with the so-called anonymization function. This function allows Microsoft to truncate the IP address within the EU or EEA.
9.6.5 The data collected in this way is in turn used by Microsoft to provide us with an analysis of the visit to our website and the usage activities there. This data can also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the use of the Internet.
10.1 When concluding a contractual relationship on our website by registering and accessing our platform, we ask you to provide the following personal data:
10.1.1 Data that identifies you personally, such as name and e-mail address; contact details, such as billing and delivery address and telephone number; profile picture; academic title; data that identifies your company, such as company, address, communication data (e-mail address, telephone number), VAT ID or tax number, if applicable; information about your means of payment; other information.
10.1.2 Other personal data that we are legally obliged or authorized to collect and process and that we need for your authentication, identification or to verify the data we have collected.
10.2 The aforementioned data is processed for the purpose of handling the contractual relationship. The data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The storage period is limited to the purpose of the contract and, if applicable, statutory and contractual retention obligations.
11.1 We also work together with payment service providers for the payment of contracts concluded with us for a fee. We pass on your payment data to the commissioned payment service provider as part of payment processing - earmarked for the payment - if this is necessary for payment processing. The legal basis for the transfer of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
12.1 If you have expressly consented in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, we will use your e-mail address to send you our newsletter on a regular basis.
12.2 Your e-mail address will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. Your e-mail address will therefore be stored for as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active.
12.3 You can unsubscribe at any time, for example via a link at the end of a newsletter.
12.4 We use the service of "HubSpot", HubSpot Inc, 25 First Street, 2nd Floor, Cambridge, MA 02141, USA, with offices in Ireland (One Dockland Central, Dublin 1, Ireland) and Germany (Am Postbahnhof 17, 10243 Berlin) to send our newsletter. If you subscribe to our newsletter, your data will be stored by HubSpot in Europe.
12.4.1 HubSpot processes this data and evaluates it for us, but does not use the data for its own purposes. HubSpot's privacy policy can be found at https://legal.hubspot.com/de/privacy-policy
12.4.2 Our newsletter then contains a so-called "web-beacon", i.e. a 1×1 pixel file that is retrieved from Hubspot's server when the newsletter is opened. This allows us to find out when and from which operating system the newsletter was read. We do not use the data collected in this way to create user profiles.
12.4.3 The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary pixels is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
13.1 When you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, the data you provide (your e-mail address, your name and your telephone number, if applicable) will be stored by us in order to answer your questions. Data processing for the purpose of contacting us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR on the basis of your voluntarily given consent. We delete the data arising in this context if the inquiry is assigned to a contract after the contract period, otherwise after the storage is no longer necessary, or restrict the processing if there are legal storage obligations.
14.1 If you wish to use our platform, you must register by providing your e-mail address, a password of your choice or a one-time login link ("Magic Link") and your e-mail address. There is no obligation to use a clear name; pseudonymous use is possible. The provision of the aforementioned data is mandatory, all other information can be provided voluntarily when using our platform. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for this service, i.e. you will receive an e-mail in which you must confirm that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you wish to receive the notifications. You can unsubscribe from the notifications at any time, e.g. by clicking on the link in the email or using the contact details provided. We will store the data you provide, the time of your registration for the service and your IP address until you unsubscribe from the service.
14.2 If you use our platform, we store your data required for the fulfillment of the contract, including details of the payment method, until you finally delete your access. Furthermore, we store the voluntary data you provide for the duration of your use of the platform, unless you delete it beforehand. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.
15.1 When you interact with our services and products, you have the option of creating a user account with us. The creation of a user account is based on your consent. You can withdraw your consent and/or delete your user account by contacting us using the contact details provided above. Revoking or deleting your account may have a negative impact on your user experience. The following personal data will be processed in connection with your account Name, address data, contact data, profile pictures. The legal basis for the processing of this data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.
16.1 As part of the performance of our contract with you and to the extent necessary to fulfill our obligations to you or for the purposes of improving our products or services, we use automated decision-making and profiling. If such automated decision-making and/or profiling results in a negative decision about you and you do not agree with this, or if you wish to object to this type of processing of your personal data, you can contact us using the contact details provided above. We will then proceed to reassess the situation and/or provide you with more information as to why such an automated decision was made.
17.1 We have integrated forms from HeyFlow on this website. The provider is Heyflow GmbH, Jungfernstieg 49, 20354 Hamburg (hereinafter "HeyFlow"). HeyFlow provides a technology for the creation of online interaction tools (click funnels), with the help of which (potential) customers, applicants or other third parties (hereinafter "inquirers") can contact us. For this purpose, the inquirers enter their request and the other requested data (e.g. name, contact details, etc.) in the form and submit it. You may have the option of uploading your own files, for which the following explanations also apply.
17.2 All requests are processed in HeyFlow's systems on our behalf. We have concluded an order processing contract with HeyFlow. This contract ensures that HeyFlow processes the data in compliance with the GDPR and exclusively on the basis of our instructions. Further details can be found in HeyFlow's privacy policy at https://heyflow.app/de/datenschutz
17.3 The processing of this data with the help of HeyFlow is based on our legitimate interest in the most interactive and user-friendly communication possible with inquirers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The request data itself is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided that your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In the case of an application, the processing of your data is based on Section 26 (1) BDSG. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
17.4 The data you have entered will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected. In the case of an application, the following also applies: If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be deleted. The retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will only be deleted when the purpose for further storage no longer applies. Longer storage may also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
18.1 When contacting us (via contact form or e-mail), the user's details are processed to process the contact request and its handling in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. First and last name, email address and telephone number are required in order to be able to ask questions and submit a complete offer.
18.2 We use the CRM, registration and marketing automation system "HubSpot", from the provider HubSpot Inc. (25 First Street, 2nd Floor, Cambridge, MA 02141, USA) with branches in Ireland (One Dockland Central, Dublin 1, Ireland) and Germany (Am Postbahnhof 17, 10243 Berlin) on the basis of our legitimate interests (efficient and fast processing of user inquiries, applications and optimization of our online offer).
18.3 Since HubSpot may transfer personal data to affiliated companies and subcontractors in countries outside the EU and the EEA, further protective mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection under the GDPR. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR with regard to companies with certification under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. HubSpot, Inc. is certified in accordance with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and is therefore committed to complying with appropriate data protection standards, which can be viewed at the following link: www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search.
18.4 For potential transfers to other third countries outside the EU and the EEA for which there is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission, standard data protection clauses pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR are also agreed. These oblige the recipient of the data in the third country to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe.
18.5 Further information on HubSpot's privacy policy can be found here: https://legal.hubspot.com/de/dpa and https://legal.hubspot.com/de/privacy-policy

Further information on this can be found in Weglot's privacy policy: https://weglot.com/privacy/.
22.1 We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to communicate with you as active customers, interested parties and users and to inform you about our services there. User data is also processed by the networks and platforms outside the European Union, but not by us. This may result in risks for users, for example by making it more difficult to enforce users' rights. With regard to US providers that are certified under the Privacy Shield, we would like to point out that they undertake to comply with the data protection standards of the EU.
22.2 The networks and platforms will generally process the users' data for market research and advertising purposes and create user profiles from the usage behavior and the resulting interests of the users. The usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the platforms that are presumed to correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the user's computer, in which the user's usage behavior and interests are stored. Data can also be stored in the user profiles independently of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are registered and logged in to the respective platforms). The legal basis for the processing of users' personal data is our legitimate interest in effectively informing users and communicating with users in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. If users are asked by the respective platform providers for consent to data processing (i.e. they give their consent, e.g. by ticking a checkbox or confirming a button), the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. GDPR.
22.3 Please note the respective data protection guidelines and notices of the providers named below, which can be accessed via the link below, and the data processing and objection options (opt-out) available there. Also in the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we would like to point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the user's data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. If you still need help, you can contact us.
