II. General Information on Data Processing
We only process personal data of our users if this is necessary to provide a functional website, our contents and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place only after the user has given consent to the processing. An exception applies in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
– Insofar as we obtain the consent of the user for the processing of personal data Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
– If the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the user is a party, Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing data in order to take steps at the request of the user prior to entering into a contract.
– Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the Controller is subject, Art. 6 ( 1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
– In the event that processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the user or of another natural person Article 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
– If the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the user which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child Article 6 (1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

The personal data of the users will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the Controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

(4) The IP address of the user
(5) Date and time of access
(6) Websites from which the user’s system reaches our website
(7) Websites accessed by the user’s system via our website

V. Use of Google Analytics

a) Description and scope of data processing
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device and enable an analysis of website usage. Information generated by cookies about your use of our website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA. We use Google Analytics in conjunction with IP anonymization. In this respect, your IP address will be reduced within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the USA. There may be exceptional cases in which Google transmits the full IP address to a server in the USA and shortens it there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to create reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website and Internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

b) Legal basis for data processing
Legal basis for the processing of personal data using Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

c) Purpose of data processing
Die Verwendung von Google Analytics erfolgt zu dem Zweck, die Qualität unserer Website und ihre Inhalte zu verbessern. Durch Google Analytics erfahren wir, wie die Website genutzt wird und können so unser Angebot stetig optimieren. In diesen Zwecken liegt auch unser berechtigtes Interesse in der Verarbeitung der personenbezogenen Daten nach Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
Google Analytics is used to improve the quality of our website and its content. Google Analytics tells us how the website is used and enables us to constantly optimise our offer. Our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR is based as well on these purposes.

VI. Use of Google Web Fonts
Our website uses Google Web Fonts for the consistent representation of fonts. These are not loaded from the Google server but are integrated on our own server. In this respect, the browser you are using does not connect to Google’s servers when loading the fonts.

VII. Use of Social Media Buttons (Facebook and LinkedIn Share Buttons)

a) Description and scope of data processing
Our website uses the following social media buttons to share content: Facebook and LinkedIn. For this we use the social media buttons of “Shariff”. A “Shariff” button establishes the direct contact between the social network and a visitor only when the latter actively clicks on the share button. This differentiates “Shariff” from the usual social media buttons, which already give user data to Facebook & Co. every time a page is accessed and enable the social networks to provide precise information about your surfing behaviour (user tracking). If Shariff is not used, the user tracking is on even if you are not logged in to the usual social media platforms or you are not a member of the network.

b) Legal basis for data processing
Legal basis for the processing of personal data using “Shariff” social media buttons is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

c) Purpose of data processing
The use of social media buttons is in the interest of simple, user-friendly sharing of our content. Our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR is based as well on these purposes.

d) Duration of storage, Right to object and erase
Shariff appears on our website as an intermediate instance. The visitor remains anonymous. Details about Shariff can be found at https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html. In the event that the buttons of the social media services are clicked, the data protection guidelines of the social media services are applicable.

Facebook
The Share Button of Facebook is operated by facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. If you have your habitual residence in the European Union, the services of facebook Ireland Limited, Hanover Reach, 5-7, Hanover Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland are offered to you. If you click the Facebook button, your browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook with the help of cookies and to our knowledge the following data is transmitted to Facebook:

• Date and time of the visit,
• the Internet address/URL of the site you are currently visiting,
• the IP address,
• the device you are using,
• the browser,
• the operating system,
• the user ID if you are a registered user on Facebook and, if applicable, your first and last name
• and of course the information that you have used this specific plugin on our site.
Unfortunately, we have no control over what information Facebook actually collects, uses or stores and can only refer to Facebook’s privacy policy and cookie policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php and https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/.

LinkedIn
The LinkedIn button is provided by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. Information on data protection – and on setting cookies when you have clicked the Share Button – can be found here https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy and Opt-Out: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.

VIII. Application procedure

a) Description and scope of data processing
In the context of an application and the transmission of personal data by the applicant to career@iconmobile.com, the data will be processed solely in the context of the application procedure with regard to the possible establishment of an employment relationship. In addition, the applicant data for processing and evaluating the application will only be shared with persons on a need-to-know basis. A forwarding of the application, e.g. within the companies of the iconmobile group, only takes place if you have expressly consented to such.

b) Legal basis for the data processing
The legal basis for the processing of personal data in the application process is § 26 paragraph 1 BDSG.

c) Purpose of data processing
The data will only be processed for the purposes of the application procedure.

d) Duration of storage, Right to object and erase
We will delete your personal data as soon as they are no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes of the application procedure. In this respect, however, personal data is stored for the time during which claims can be asserted against iconmobile GmbH. Insofar, the applicant data will be kept for a period of 6 months after the end of the application procedure or the rejection of the application, and subsequently deleted. Any further storage of your application data will only take place with your express consent.
If personal data must necessarily be processed in the context of the application procedure, the failure to provide the information will prevent the application from being processed.
As far as you have expressly consented to a forwarding of the application to other companies within the iconmobile group or to a storage beyond the period of 6 months, such a consent can be revoked at any time under datenschutz@iconmobile.com This also applies to the revocation of consents given before the validity of the DSGVO – i.e. before 25 May 2018. The revocation does not affect the legality of the data processed until the revocation.

IX. Photo/Video Recordings at Events

• a) Description and scope of data processing
At events, we produce photo and video recordings in order to document the event and use the recordings for public relations and self-promotion. This can be done in print media, on the website, in social media or other channels.

• b) Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the use of photo and video recordings is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

• c) Purpose of data processing
The purpose of data processing is to enable the company to communicate and present itself to the outside world. In the context of a balance of interests, it must be assumed that the company’s interests do not interfere unduly with the rights and freedoms of the persons depicted. This applies in particular against the background that the persons go into public space and that the events are deliberately attended with knowledge that photographs and video recordings will be taken. Our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO is based as well on these purposes.

• d) Duration of storage, objection and removal options
If the rights and freedoms of a person depicted should be infringed for reasons particularly worthy of consideration, we will refrain from further processing by means of suitable measures. A disguising in print media cannot take place, however a deletion on the web page or in Social Media channels can take place within the bounds of the technical possibilities. The storage takes place for the period of the company communication and/or documentation of the event.

XI. Information on Data Processing regarding icon incar Facebook Page

• Description and scope of data processing
Iconmobile maintains the Facebook page to communicate with users and to inform them about events and services in connection with the business area of iconmobile. As Facebook is an US provider, it can be assumed that data will also be processed outside the European Union. However, Facebook is obliged to comply with EU data protection standards, as Facebook is certified under the “Privacy Shield”. We assume that Facebook generally processes user data for market research and advertising purposes. Thus, for example, user profiles can be created from the user behavior and the resulting interests of the users. The usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements inside and outside the platforms that presumably 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. Furthermore, data can also be stored in the user profiles independently of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to these).


b) Legal basis for the data processing The legal basis for the processing of personal data using the iconmobile Facebook page is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

c) Purpose of data processing
The use of the Facebook page serves the purpose of communication and providing information for our users. For these purposes, our legitimate interest also lies in the processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

d) Duration of storage, Right to object and erase
As Facebook itself does not provide comprehensive information about data processing, we can only provide the information that Facebook itself provides. For a description of the respective processing and the possibilities of objection (opt-out), we refer to Facebook’s data policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation. In the event that you are considering asserting rights under the DSGVO, you should consider asserting these rights directly on Facebook, as only Facebook has access to the user data.
