​

h) Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling

​

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data shall have the right, as granted by the European legislature and the legislature, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which has a legal effect on it or, in a similar manner, significantly affects it; unless the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is permitted by Union or Member State legislation to which the controller is subject, and that legislation provides for appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject; or (3) with the express consent of the data subject.

​

9. Data protection in applications and in the application process

​

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application process. The processing can also be done electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via a web form available on the website. If the controller concludes a contract of employment with an applicant,

the data transmitted will be stored for the purposes of the employment relationship in accordance with the law. If no employment contract is concluded with the candidate by the controller, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after the announcement of the rejection decision, unless deletion precludes other legitimate interests of the controller. Other legitimate interest in this sense, for example, a burden of proof in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act.

​

10. Legal basis of processing

​

Art. 6 I lit. A GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a particular processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract of which the affected person is a party, as is the case, for example, in processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, processing shall be based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be required to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our premises were injured and his or her name, age, health insurance or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GPR. On this legal basis, processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases are required if processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, unless the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned prevail. Such processing operations are particularly allowed to us because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In that regard, it considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47, second sentence, GDPR).

 

11. Qualifying interests in the processing being pursued by the controller or a third party

​

Is the processing of personal data based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR is our legitimate interest in conducting our business for the benefit of all of our employees and our shareholders.

​

12. Storage duration

Personal data communicated to SLK Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH via this website are only stored until the purpose for which they were entrusted to SLK Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH is fulfilled. The storage period for certain data can be up to 10 years, as long as commercial and tax retention periods are observed. In addition, SLK Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH will delete your data in accordance with the BDSG / GDPR.

​

13. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; Necessity for the conclusion of the contract;         

      Obligation of the affected person to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

​

We clarify that the provision of personal information is in part required by law (such as tax regulations) or may result from contractual arrangements (such as details of the contractor). Occasionally it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that an affected person provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the affected person is required to provide us with personal information when our company enters into a contract with her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the person concerned could not be closed. Prior to any personal data being provided by the person concerned, the person concerned must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the individual on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is required for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of the non-provision of the personal data.

​

14.  Existence of automated decision-making

​

As a responsible company we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.

​

15. Place of data processing and storage

​

The processing of personal data takes place exclusively in data centers within the scope of the European Data Protection Directive 95/46 / EC or the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679, unless otherwise stated in this declaration.

​

16. Changes of the privacy policy

​

Changes in legislation or case law, as well as adjustments to the business model, may require you to change this privacy policy.

SLK Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH therefore reserves the right to amend this privacy policy at any time. You can request the currently applicable privacy policy at any time from SLK Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH or retrieve the data protection on this website.
