2. General information concerning data processing on this website

If you use the website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information (e.g. via a contact form), we collect the following technical information (log file data):

• Operating system of the device you use to visit our website
• Browser (type, version & language settings)
• the amount of data retrieved
• the current IP address of the device you are using to visit our website
• Date and time of access
• the URL of the previously visited website (referrer
• the URL of the (sub)page that you access on the website
• the Internet service provider of the accessing system

The collection of this data is technically necessary in order to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security. We (and our service provider) regularly do not know who is behind an IP address. We do not merge the data listed above with other data.

 The legal basis for the storage of data/log files is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f) GDPR.
 Storage in log files ensures the proper functioning of the website and also serves to improve and secure our systems. No further analysis of this data (e.g. for marketing purposes) takes place in this context. The data stored by iris-GmbH will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case after six weeks at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or anonymized so that it is no longer possible to identify the accessing client.

3. Application procedure

For applications, we use the services of our partner, rexx systems GmbH, Süderstraße 75-79, 20097 Hamburg. rexx systems processes the application data on behalf of iris-GmbH. We will of course use your data exclusively for processing your application. Your personal data will be processed during the application process; this may vary depending on the vacancy. The legal basis for processing your personal data as part of the application process is § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a), b) and f) GDPR. If no contract is concluded, your personal data will be deleted 6 months after completion of the application process, unless you have given us your express consent to store your data for longer.
 

4. Admission to the applicant pool

If we do not make you a job offer, you may have the option of being included in our applicant pool. All documents and information from your application will then be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you in the event of suitable vacancies.

Inclusion in the applicant pool takes place exclusively on the basis of your expressed consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). Giving consent is voluntary and is not related to the current application process. You can withdraw your consent at any time. In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool, provided there are no legal grounds for retention.

The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been given.

5. Cookies

This website uses so-called "cookies", which serve to make the website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer system. We would like to point out that some of these cookies are transferred from our server to your computer system, most of which are so-called "session cookies". "Session cookies" are characterized by the fact that they are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of the browser session. Other cookies remain on your computer system and enable us to recognize your computer system on your next visit (so-called persistent cookies). When accessing the website, the user is informed about the use of cookies and his or her consent to the processing of the personal data used is obtained. No personal data is stored in the cookies used. We only receive anonymized information on the basis of the cookies. Of course, you can reject cookies at any time if your browser allows this. Please note that you may not be able to use certain functions of this website, or only to a limited extent, if your browser is set so that no cookies (from our website) are accepted.
The legal basis for possible processing of personal data using cookies and their storage duration may vary. If you have given us your consent, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR. Insofar as the data processing is based on our overriding legitimate interests, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. The stated purpose then corresponds to our legitimate interest.
 Technically necessary cookies serve to simplify the use of websites. The user data collected by technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles. Analysis cookies are used to improve the quality of websites and their content. Through the analysis cookies, we learn how the website is used and can constantly optimize our offer.
 Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted by it. Users therefore also have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website to their full extent.
 

6. Newsletter

You can subscribe to various newsletters on some of our websites, with which we inform you about the activities of our company, current information about our services, special offers, promotions, events and competitions. The content of the individual newsletters is briefly described during the registration process. The legal basis for sending the respective newsletter is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR in conjunction with § 7 para. 2 no. 3 UWG or the legal permission according to § 7 para. 3 UWG.
 We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to register for our newsletters. This means that 
after you have registered, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address you have provided in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration, your information will be automatically deleted after 3 days.
 The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The provision of further data is voluntary: this data is used to address you personally. After your confirmation, we will store your e-mail address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter until you cancel your subscription. We also store your current IP address at the time of registration, the time of registration and the confirmation for up to three years after registration (limitation period). The purpose of this procedure is to be able to prove your registration in case of doubt and, if necessary, to clarify any misuse of your personal data. The 
legal basis for logging the registration is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR in providing proof of consent previously given, see also Art. 7 para. 1 GDPR.
 You can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can declare your 
revocation by clicking on the link provided in every newsletter email or by sending an email to mail@iris-sensing.com.

7. Contact form and e-mail

We provide you with a contact form on our website for easy contact. The data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to iris-GmbH and stored. In addition, the user's IP address and the date and time of transmission are stored when the form is sent. Alternatively, it is possible to contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored. The data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will only be used to process the request.
 The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 a) GDPR if the user has given consent. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f) GDPR. If the e-mail contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 b) GDPR.
 The processing of personal data serves solely to process the contact. In the case of contact by email, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data. The other personal data processed is used to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
 The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input screen of the contact form and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

8. Disclosure of personal data/recipients

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties unless we are legally obliged to do so, or the transfer of data is necessary for the performance of the contractual relationship, or you have previously expressly consented to the transfer of your data.
 Your data will only be passed on to affiliated companies and service partners if they work on our behalf and support iris-GmbH in the provision of its services. Your personal data will be processed by contracted service providers within the scope of order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. The aforementioned service providers only receive access to such personal information that is necessary for the fulfillment of the respective activity. These service providers are prohibited from passing on your personal information or using it for other purposes, in particular for their own advertising purposes. Where external service providers come into contact with your personal data, we have taken legal, technical and organizational measures and carried out regular checks to ensure that they also comply with the applicable data protection regulations. In detail, these are the following recipients: Your personal data will not be passed on to other companies for commercial purposes.
 We attach great importance to processing your data within the EU/EEA. However, we may use service providers who process data 
outside the EU/EEA. In these cases, we ensure that an appropriate level of data protection comparable to the standards within the EU is established at the recipient before your personal data is transferred. This can be achieved, for example, by means of EU standard contracts or binding corporate rules or special agreements to which the company may be subject.
