Designation of the responsible body

The body responsible for processing data on this website is:

Defcon Defense Consulting GmbH & Co.KG
Spielbergtor 12d

The responsible body decides, alone or together with others, on the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, contact details and the like).

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Some data-processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

As a data subject, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the event of a breach of data-protection law. The competent supervisory authority for data-protection matters is the Data Protection Commissioner of the federal state in which our company is based. The following link provides a list of data protection officers and their contact details: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in the performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party. The data is provided in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only happen as far as it is technically feasible.

Right to information, correction, blocking and deletion

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, the origin of the data, its recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, where applicable, a right to have this data corrected, blocked or deleted. For this and any other questions on the topic of personal data, you can contact us at any time via the contact options listed in our imprint.

SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data which you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the “https://” address line of your browser and by the lock symbol in the browser bar.

Server log files

In server log files, the website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us. This is:

• Page visited on our domain
• Date and time of the server request
• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• IP address

This data is not merged with any other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact form

Data transmitted via the contact form, including your contact details, is stored so that we can process your enquiry or be available for follow-up questions. This data will not be passed on without your consent.

The data entered in the contact form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw any consent you have given at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data-processing operations carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Data transmitted via the contact form remains with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to its storage or there is no longer any need to store the data. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Application form

Data transmitted via the application form, including your contact and application data, is stored so that we can process your application and be available for the application process and any follow-up interviews. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.

The data entered in the application form is processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) and to carry out pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). You can withdraw any consent you have given at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data-processing operations carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Data transmitted via the application form is stored with us for the duration of the application process. In the event of rejection, your application documents will be deleted no later than six months after the conclusion of the application process, unless other legitimate interests prevent deletion. If you are hired, your data will be transferred to your personnel file. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

You have the right at any time to obtain information about the personal data concerned, as well as to have it corrected, deleted or to have its processing restricted.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device. Cookies help us to make our offer more user-friendly, more effective and more secure.

Some cookies are “session cookies.” Such cookies are deleted automatically at the end of your browser session. Other cookies remain on your end device until you delete them yourself. These cookies help us to recognise you when you return to our website.

With a modern web browser you can monitor, restrict or prevent the setting of cookies. Many web browsers can be configured so that cookies are deleted automatically when the program is closed. Disabling cookies may result in restricted functionality of our website.

The setting of cookies that are necessary for the execution of electronic communication processes or the provision of certain functions desired by you (e.g. shopping cart) takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and smooth provision of our services. Where other cookies (e.g. for analysis functions) are set, these are dealt with separately in this privacy policy.

Google Analytics

Our website uses functions of the web-analytics service Google Analytics. The provider of the web-analytics service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses "cookies". These are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device and which enable an analysis of how the website is used. Information generated by means of cookies about your use of our website is transmitted to a server operated by Google and stored there. The server is normally located in the USA.

Google Analytics cookies are set on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both our website and any advertising.

IP anonymisation

We use Google Analytics in conjunction with the IP anonymisation function. It ensures that Google truncates your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmitting it 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, compile reports on website activity for us and provide further services associated with the use of the website and the internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with any other data held by Google.

Browser plug-in

You can prevent the setting of cookies by your web browser. However, this may restrict some functions of our website. You can also prevent the collection of data relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and its subsequent processing by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Objection to data collection

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set, preventing the collection of your data on future visits to our website: Disable Google Analytics

For details on how Google Analytics handles user data, please see Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Order processing

To fully comply with the statutory data-protection requirements, we have signed an order-processing agreement with Google.

Demographic features in Google Analytics

Our website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. It allows reports to be generated that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising by Google as well as from visitor data from third parties. The data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can disable this function at any time. This is possible via the ad settings in your Google account or by generally prohibiting the collection of your data by Google Analytics, as explained under the heading “Objection to data collection”.
