Privacy Policy Exgeniam Executive Search Personalberatung KG, Campus Kronberg 1, 61476 Kronberg im Taunus, Germany.

All personal data is treated confidentially. Our data protection practices comply with the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), the German Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) and the German Telemedia Act (TMG). In the following, we inform you about the details of data protection in our company.

1. The reasons for data collection

We collect and process your data to provide our website and to give you the best possible service by providing convenient access to our services.

2. What data is collected, processed or used?

When you access our websites, our servers automatically collect information of a general nature, in particular for the purpose of functionality and system security. This includes the type of browser used, the operating system used, the domain name of the Internet service provider, the connection data of the computer used (IP address), the website from which you visit us (referrer URL), the pages you visit on our site and the date and duration of the visit. Conclusions from this data to specific persons are not possible for us due to pseudonymization. A combination of this data with other data sources is not made. Additional personal data, such as your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address are not collected, unless you provide this information voluntarily, for example, in the context of a contact request or transmission of information by e-mail.

3. Deletion

Personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standard expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract or you have given your consent in this regard.

4. Cookies

Cookies are used to make the use of the website and preferences of website visitors even more attractive. Cookies are text files that are stored on your hard drive to enable identification of the browser when you return to the website.

You can prevent cookies from being stored on your hard drive by making the appropriate browser settings. Cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time. For information on how to delete cookies or prevent their storage, please refer to the relevant browser instructions. If you do not accept cookies, this may impair your use of our website.

 

5. Data security

We secure our website and other systems by technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification or distribution of your data by unauthorized persons. Despite regular checks and constant improvement of our security measures, complete protection against all dangers is not possible.

6. Contact form


If you contact us via the contact form, your information, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the requests and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

7. Legal basis

If the processing of personal data is based on the consent of the user, Art. 6 para.1 lit. a) DSGVO is the legal basis for the processing of personal data. If the processing of personal data is carried out for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO is the legal basis. This also applies to pre-contractual processing operations. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) c) DSGVO is the legal basis. The legal basis for the temporary storage of your data according to item 2. is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO.

8. Rights of data subjects

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you are entitled to the following rights against us:

(a) Right of access

You may request confirmation from us as to whether your personal data is being processed by us.
If such processing exists, you may request information from about the following:

  1. The purposes for which the personal data are processed;
  2. the categories of personal data which are processed;
  3. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed;
  4. the planned duration of the storage of the personal data concerning you or, if concrete information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage period;
  5. the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of the personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing;
  6. the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority;
  7. any available information about the origin of the data, if the personal data are not collected from the data subject;
  8. the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in these cases, meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information about whether personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 DSGVO in connection with the transfer.

b) Right to rectification

You have a right to rectification and/or completion if the personal data processed is inaccurate or incomplete. The rectification shall be carried out without undue delay.

c) Right to restriction of processing

Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data:

  1. If you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
  2. The processing is unlawful and you object to the erasure of the personal data and request instead the restriction of the use of the personal data;
  3. The personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes of processing, but you need it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; or
  4. If you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) DSGVO and it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate grounds override your grounds.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.
If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

d) Right to deletion

You may request that the personal data concerning you be deleted without delay. We are obliged to delete this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

  1. The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  2. You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) or Art. 9 (2) (a) DSGVO and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  3. You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) DSGVO.
  4. The personal data concerning you have been processed unlawfully.
  5. The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
  6. The personal data concerning you has been collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

Exceptions

The right to erasure does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary

  1. For the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information;
  2. For compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
  3. For reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) of the GDPR;
  4. For archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) DSGVO, to the extent that the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudice the achievement of the purposes of such processing; or
  5. For the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

e) Right to information

If you have exercised the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, we are obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed about these recipients.

f) Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance, provided that

  1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a) DSGVO or Art. 9 (2) a) DSGVO or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) b) DSGVO and
  2. the processing is carried out with the help of automated procedures.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transferred directly to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.
The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

g) Right to object

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you that is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) DSGVO. We will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
You have the possibility, in connection with the use of information society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications

h) Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law.

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of the consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.
