Privacy Policy OVB Holding AG

We are very pleased that you have shown interest in our company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the OVB Holding AG. The use of the Internet pages of the OVB Holding AG is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the OVB Holding AG. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of the rights to which they are entitled by means of this data protection declaration.

As the controller, the OVB Holding AG has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website.

9. Cookies

The websites of the OVB Holding AG use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, the OVB Holding AG can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as already mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his access data each time he visits the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in the online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The following types of cookies and functions are distinguished:

  • Temporary cookies (also: session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user has left an online offer and closed his browser.
  • Persistent cookies: Persistent cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status can be saved or preferred content can be displayed directly when the user visits a website again. Likewise, the interests of users used for reach measurement or marketing purposes may be stored in such a cookie.
  • First-party cookies: First-party cookies are set by ourselves.
  • Third-party cookies (also: third-party cookies): Third-party cookies are mainly used by advertisers (so-called third parties) to process user information.
  • Necessary (also: essential or absolutely necessary) cookies: Cookies may be absolutely necessary for the operation of a website (e.g. to store logins or other user input or for security reasons).
  • Statistical, marketing and personalization cookies: Furthermore, cookies are usually also used in the context of range measurement and when the interests of a user or his behavior (e.g. viewing certain content, using functions, etc.) on individual websites are stored in a user profile. Such profiles serve to show users, for example, content that corresponds to their potential interests. This procedure is also referred to as "tracking", i.e. tracking the potential interests of users. . If we use cookies or "tracking" technologies, we will inform you separately in our privacy policy or as part of obtaining consent.

General information on revocation and objection (opt-out): Depending on whether the processing is based on consent or legal permission, you have the option at any time to revoke your consent or to object to the processing of your data by cookie technologies (collectively referred to as "opt-out"). You can first declare your objection by means of our cookie banner. At the beginning of this declaration as well as at the end of this paragraph you will find the button "Edit cookie settings", via which you can make the corresponding settings. In addition, you can declare the objection via the settings of your browser, e.g. by deactivating the use of cookies (whereby this may also restrict the functionality of our online offer). An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also https://www.youronlinechoices.com/ via a variety of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US  site https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or  the EU site or  generally on https://optout.aboutads.info  be explained.

10. Plugins and embedded functions and content

We integrate functional and content elements into our online offer, which are obtained from the servers of their respective providers (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers"). These may be, for example, graphics, videos or social media buttons as well as contributions (hereinafter uniformly referred to as "Content").

The integration always requires that the third-party providers of this content process the IP address of the users, as they would not be able to send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the display of this content or functions. We endeavor to use only content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. Third parties may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. The "pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, the time of visit and other information on the use of our online offer as well as be linked to such information from other sources.

Information on legal bases: If we ask users for their consent to the use of third-party providers, the legal basis for the processing of data is consent. Otherwise, user data will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in efficient, economical and recipient-friendly services). In this context, we would also like to draw your attention to the information on the use of cookies in this data protection declaration.

11. Data protection for applications and in the application process

The application process requires applicants to provide us with the data necessary for their assessment and selection. The information required can be found in the job description or, in the case of online forms, in the information provided therein.

Basically, the required information includes personal information, such as name, address, contact options and proof of the qualifications required for a job. On request, we will also be happy to inform you which information is required.

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of deciding on the establishment of an employment relationship pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. b GDPR, § 26 Abs. 1 BDSG (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz). If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the controller electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the controller, the application documents shall be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests of the controller. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

12. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

On this website, the controller has integrated the component Google Analytics (with anonymization function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection, collection and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data about the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is the consent of the data subject pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The controller uses the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject will be shortened and anonymized by Google if our websites are accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another member state of the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is able to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. During the course of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties. In the opinion of the EU Commission, the USA does not have a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. It must be assumed that US authorities can gain access to the data of the data subject.

The data subject may refuse the setting of cookies by Google Analytics through our website via the cookie banner. Any consent given can be revoked at any time via the button "Edit cookie settings". In addition, it can prevent the setting of cookies, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google and to prevent such collection. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as an objection. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person who is attributable to their sphere of influence, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

Further information and Google's applicable privacy policy can be found at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html  . Google Analytics is www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/ explained in more detail under this link.

13. Information on data protection and legally required information when using the "Zoom" service for video conferencing at OVB Holding AG

In the following, we would like to inform you about the processing of personal data in connection with the use of "Zoom".

Purpose of processing

We use the "Zoom" tool to conduct online meetings, video conferences and/or online training (hereinafter: "Online Meetings"). "Zoom" is a service of Zoom Video Communications, Inc., 55 Almaden Blvd, Suite 600, San Jose, CA 95113, United States of America.

Controller

OVB Holding AG is responsible for data processing in direct connection with the conduct of "online meetings".

Note: If you access the website of "Zoom", the provider of "Zoom" is responsible for the data processing.

What data is processed?

When using "Zoom", different types of data are processed. These are in particular the information about the user (surname, first name, e-mail, optional: telephone, photo) as well as the text, audio and video data in the course of the "online meeting". You can switch off or mute the camera or microphone yourself at any time via the "Zoom" applications. In addition, meeting metadata is created and used (details: https://zoom.us/privacy#_Toc44414846).

Scope of processing

We use "Zoom" to conduct "online meetings". If we want to record "online meetings", we will inform you transparently in advance and ask for your consent. In the case of online training, we may make this recording available to a selected group of participants via a link. This will be communicated to you before recording.

Legal basis of data processing

Insofar as the use of "Zoom" processes personal data for the establishment, implementation or termination of the employment relationship, Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. b GDPR, § 26 Abs. 1 BDSG is the legal basis for the processing.

Insofar as meetings are held within the framework of other contractual relationships, the legal basis for data processing when conducting "online meetings" is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR

In other cases, the processing of personal data when using "Zoom" is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR as the legal basis for data processing. In these cases, our legitimate interest lies in the effective conduct of "online meetings".

Recipients / Disclosure of data

Personal data processed in connection with participation in "online meetings" will not be passed on to third parties, unless they are intended for disclosure.

Other recipients: The provider of "Zoom" necessarily receives knowledge of the above-mentioned data, insofar as this is provided for in our data processing agreement with "Zoom".

Further data protection information from Zoom Inc. can be found at:

https://Zoom.us/de-de/privacy.html

https://Zoom.us/de-de/gdpr.html

Data processing outside the European Union

Zoom is based in the USA. Processing of personal data thus also takes place in a third country. We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider of "Zoom" on the basis of the EU standard contractual clauses. Following the invalidation of the EU-US Privacy Shield, there is currently no adequate level of protection for the transfer of personal data to the USA. For example, data subjects' rights with respect to their personal data are restricted in the United States. As a supplementary protective measure, we have also made our Zoom configuration so that only data centers in the EU, the EEA, are used to conduct "online meetings". Recordings are only stored on Zoom's servers for a limited period of time and thereafter on servers in the EU in accordance with retention obligations.

14. Presence in social networks

We maintain online presences within social networks in order to communicate with the users active there or to offer information about us.

We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This can result in risks for users, e.g. because the enforcement of users' rights could be made more difficult. With regard to US providers who offer guarantees of a secure level of data protection, we would like to point out that they thereby undertake to comply with the data protection standards of the EU.

Furthermore, user data is usually processed within social networks for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created on the basis of 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 networks that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the user's computers, in which the usage behavior and interests of the users are stored. Furthermore, data may also be stored in the usage profiles independently of the devices used by the users (in particular if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).

For a detailed description of the respective forms of processing and the possibilities of objection (opt-out), we refer to the data protection declarations and information provided by the operators of the respective networks.

Also, in the case of requests for information and the assertion of data subject rights, we point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the data of the users and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. If you still need help, you can contact us.

  • Processed data types: Inventory data (e.g. names, addresses), contact data (e.g. e-mail, telephone numbers), content data (e.g. text input, photographs, videos), usage data (e.g . websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses).
  • Data subjects: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).
  • Purposes of processing: contact requests and communication, tracking (e.g. interest/behavioural profiling, use of cookies), remarketing, range measurement (e.g. access statistics, recognition of returning visitors).
  • Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f. GDPR).

15. Deletion of data

The data processed by us will be deleted in accordance with the legal requirements as soon as their consents permitted for processing are revoked or other permissions cease to apply (e.g., if the purpose of processing this data has ceased to exist or it is not necessary for the purpose).

If the data are not deleted because they are necessary for other and legally permissible purposes, their processing will be limited to these purposes. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons or whose storage is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person.

In principle, we delete personal data if there is no need for further storage. A requirement may exist in particular if the data is still required to fulfill contractual services, to check warranty and, if applicable, to grant or defend warranty claims. In the case of statutory retention obligations, deletion is only considered after expiry of the respective retention obligation. For example, according to § 23 FinVermV, consultations that fall under the Financial Investment Brokerage Ordinance (FinVermV) are subject to a retention obligation of 10 years.

Even after termination of the contractual relationship, OVB Holding AG retains the data to the extent that it needs it in order to be accountable to you or third parties if necessary, to comply with statutory storage periods or to exercise or assert its own rights or claims. All further recorded "online meetings" will be deleted after three months at the latest. If OVB Holding AG processes the data on the basis of your consent, the data will be deleted immediately after your revocation. Further information on the deletion of personal data can also be provided within the scope of the individual data protection notices of this data protection declaration.
