If we do not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part stand in the way of deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG) or equivalent laws of other jurisdictions.

    3 RECIPIENTS OF YOUR DATA

    We disclose your data to the following categories of recipients:

    • Our affiliates (to the extent necessary);
    • IT service providers or other service providers who help us operate our business, as well as perform advertising and marketing service (e.g. service providers who help us store our customer data, host our website, protect our IT, as well as our shipping service providers who receive your name, address and billing address or marketing service providers);
    • Payment service providers (for any purchases that you make, we share some of your personal data, including identifiers and financial information, with third party payment processors to process your requested transaction)
    • Consultants and other persons who are bound by professional secrecy or confidentiality (e.g. lawyers, insurers, bankers, tax consultants and auditors);
    • Government agencies/authorities or other government bodies (to the extent disclosure is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation; or if such disclosure is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding actual or suspected illegal or fraudulent activities or potential threats to the physical safety or well-being of any individual);
    • Recipients in the course of any reorganizations, mergers, divestitures or other transfers of assets (as we grow and develop our business, it is possible that our corporate structure or organization might change or that we might merge or otherwise combine with, or that we or portions of our business might be acquired by, another company; in any such transactions, personal information generally is one of the transferred business assets);
    • Other recipients in connection with our use of cookies and other technologies (please refer to the relevant cookies section in this privacy notice and the cookie banner on our Website for this information).

    To the extent that the aforementioned recipients are data processors (i.e., they process your data only on our behalf for the purposes we instruct), they are subject to contractual obligations to process your data only in accordance with our written instructions and they must take measures to protect the confidentiality and security of your data.

    We may transfer your personal data to external service providers who carry out a credit check in order to safeguard our legitimate interest in securing our claims (subject to your consent where necessary). We receive information from these credit agencies about your previous payment history and credit ratings. This data enables us to evaluate our business relationship and is used by us to decide on a delivery and to protect us against payment defaults.

    4 TRANSFER OF YOUR DATA TO A THIRD COUNTRY OR AN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION

    Due to the international nature of our business, it can be necessary for us to transfer your personal data to our affiliates or to other recipients outside the European Union (EU) and/or the European Economic Area (EEA), e.g the USA, Australia, UK or Switzerland (“Third Countries”) or to recipients in other countries worldwide.

    We can carry out the transfer to Third Countries if the European Commission and/or the Swiss Federal Council have determined by means of a decision that the Third Country in question offers an appropriate level of data protection. Through such so-called adequacy decisions, or, in the case of data transfers from Switzerland, by being listed in Annex 1 of the Swiss Data Protection Ordinance, the European Commission or the Swiss Federal Council certify that third countries have data protection that is comparable to the recognized standard in the European Economic Area (a list of these countries and a copy of the adequacy decisions can be found here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data- protection/international-transfers/adequacy/index_en.html) or Switzerland respectively (for Annex 1 of the Swiss Data Protection Ordinance see here: https://www.fedlex.admin.ch/eli/oc/2022/568/de#annex_1). Insofar as data is transferred to the USA, please note that there is an adequacy decision for commercial organisations participating in the so-called EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

    To the extent that we transfer your data from the EU/EEA or Switzerland to recipients in third countries that are not covered by an adequacy decision of the EU Commission and/or that are not listed in Annex 1 of the Swiss Data Protection Ordinance, including to companies in the USA not participating in the EU US Data Privacy Framework or similar Frameworks, we achieve an adequate level of data protection by concluding standard contractual clauses (including, where necessary, the amendments required by the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner) or by means of binding internal company rules of our business partners and, if necessary, supplement these transfer mechanisms with further contractual, technical and organizational measures. Where we have obtained your consent, your consent may justify a transfer to Third Countries as well. You can revoke such consent at any time with effect for the future.

    Some Third Countries have different laws and data protection compliance requirements than the country in which you are located. The Third Countries concerned may not have the level of data protection that you enjoy under the GDPR and/or the Swiss FADP. This can result in disadvantages such as an impeded enforcement of data subjects’ rights, a lack of control over further processing and access by state authorities. You may only have very limited legal remedies against this. Please reach out to the contact details herein to find out more about copies of available transfer mechanisms.

    8 YOUR DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS

    You have statutory rights to Access, Correct, Delete, Restrict, Transfer, Object, and Withdraw Consent with respect to your personal data. We describe these rights in more detail below. You are entitled to

    • request access to your personal data and copies of the personal data we hold about you.
    • request correction of the personal data that we hold about you in order to have any incomplete or inaccurate information corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new information you provide to us.
    • request deletion of your personal data in order to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is not a statutory reason for us to continuing to process it. Note that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request. For example, where we have a legal obligation to retain and store your personal data.
    • request restriction of processing of your personal data in order to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data.
    • request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to personal data which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the personal data to perform a contract with or provide services to you.
      • object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your personal data which override your rights and freedoms. You can, in particular, control the extent to which we market to you and you have the right to request that we stop sending you marketing messages at any time.
    • withdraw your consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. In particular, you can opt out of receiving promotional emails from us by following the instructions in those emails. The withdrawal of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.

    Right of complaint: You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU Member State of your residence, workplace or the place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that our processing of your personal data violates the GDPR or other data protection provisions or with the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner within the scope of the Swiss FADP. This right of appeal is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

    9 ARE YOU OBLIGED TO PROVIDE YOUR DATA?

    In principle, you are not obliged to provide us with your data. However, if you do not do this, you may not be able to place an order on our website. In addition, we may not be able to respond to your inquiries. If the processing of your data is necessary for the performance of a contract between you and us, and you do not provide the required information, we may not be able to fulfill our contractual obligations to you.
