The personal data of users processed within the framework of the online offer includes usage data (browser type and version, operating system used, the URL of the previously visited site, the IP address of the accessing computer and the time of the enquiry), as well as the content details (e.g. entries made on the application form).

1.5. We process users' personal data exclusively in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations. This means that user data will be processed only if legal permission has been granted, in particular if data processing is required by law, if user consent has been obtained, and also on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. an interest in the analysis, optimisation and efficient operation and security of our online service as defined in Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, in particular, when measuring reach, creating profiles for advertising and marketing purposes, and when collecting access data and using the services of third parties).
1.6. We would like to point out that a legal basis is established either by consent, by the need for processing in order to render our services and implement our contractual measures, by the need for processing in order to fulfil our legal obligations, or by the need for processing in order to protect our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 7 GDPR).
1.7. Which sources and data do we use? We process the personal data of customers, suppliers, interested parties, applicants and employees. We process this data in the context of business relations, application procedures or employment relationships. We also use data from publicly accessible sources, the processing of which is permissible. The legal basis is the fulfilment of (pre-)contractual obligations, a legitimate interest, a legal provision or an existing consent as provided by the person concerned.
2.1. We take organisational, contractual and technical security measures in line with state-of-the-art technological standards, in order to ensure that the regulations set out under data protection laws are observed and thus to protect the data processed by us against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons.
2.2. The security measures include, in particular, the encrypted transmission of data between your browser and our server.
You’ve discovered a gap in our security? Please write to us at security@iteratec.com. We will contact you as soon as possible. For encrypted contact, you can also use our certificate.

3.2. If we use subcontractors to render our services, we take appropriate legal precautions, as well as appropriate technical and organisational measures, to ensure that personal data are protected in accordance with the relevant statutory provisions.
3.3.

4.1. Applicant management: for our online application form and applicant management, we use the platform from the service provider Talention (TFI GmbH, Delphiplatz 1, 42119 Wuppertal, Germany) to ensure fast and secure processing when recruiting new employees. For this purpose, we have concluded a contract processing agreement with the provider in which the provider undertakes to comply with all data protection regulations and to process the data only in accordance with our instructions and only for the corresponding purpose. Further information can be found here.
4.2. With regard to applicant data that we receive (by post, e-mail or online), our technical and organisational measures ensure that your personal data is treated confidentially and in line with statutory requirements. Following the completion of the application procedure, your data will be deleted, unless you agree to its storage over a longer period of time. Deletion takes place after four months (due to compliance with deadlines for possible legal action as per the General Equal Treatment Act [AGG]).

The app can be used to collect data from interested parties, in order to initiate an application process. This includes a person’s name, e-mail address, gender, photo, a self-assessment of technical skills and, if appropriate, application documents.
This data is
(a) stored on an internal system and remains accessible only to authorised persons.
b) transferred to the Applicant Management System of our service provider, Talention.
All data will be deleted after four months, unless the interested party explicitly consents to its storage for a longer time for the purpose of establishing contact at a later date. In this case, the data is stored for one year and then deleted.
To facilitate the booking of tickets for some of our events, we use Eventbrite Inc., Delaware, 155 5th Street, Floor 7, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA. When you register for one of our events, you transmit your first and last name, e-mail address and, if applicable, the company you work for to the provider and arrange payment. The provider will then send you an e-mail to confirm your booking. Upon registration, and in addition to the above-mentioned data, Eventbrite will save the selected event, including the scheduled event time (date, time) and the time of registration (date, time).
There is no contract for commissioned data processing with Eventbrite, due to the fact that, at present, only a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) is offered for commissioned and subcontracted data processors (can be viewed at: https://www.eventbrite.de/support/articles/de/Troubleshooting/datenverarbeitungsnachtrag-fuer-auftragsverarbeiter-und-unterauftragsverarbeiter?lg=de).

7.1. We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").
Currently, we are using both Google Analytics 3 and Google Analytics 4 simultaneously, which have different data protection implications. In the following text, we specify which of the two versions is being referred to. If not explicitly mentioned, the reference applies to both versions.
7.2. Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about users' use of the online service is transmitted to Google's servers and processed there. This can also include transmissions to Google LLC based in the USA.
Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online service by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online service, and to provide us with further services associated with the use of this online service and the internet. Pseudonymous user profiles can be created from the processed data.
7.3. We use data from Google Analytics to continuously improve our online service.
7.4. IP Address
Google Analytics 3: We use Google Analytics 3 with activated IP anonymization. This means that the IP address of the users is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
Google Analytics 4: Google Analytics 4 uses IP addresses at the time of collection to determine location information (country, city, latitude, and longitude of the city) and then deletes them before the data is stored on a server.
7.5. Demographic Data and Cross-device Tracking
Google Analytics 3: Our website uses reports on demographic characteristics in which data from interest-based advertising by Google as well as visitor data from third parties (e.g., age, gender, and interests) are used. This data cannot be traced back to a specific person and can be deactivated at any time via the display settings.
Google Analytics 4: In connection with Google Analytics 4, we use the Google Signals service. Google Signals are data from users who are logged into their Google account and have activated personalized advertising. By linking data with these logged-in users, cross-device reports, cross-device remarketing, the export of cross-device conversions to Google Ads, and the collection of demographic characteristics such as age and gender are possible.
7.6. We use Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags through one interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-less domain and does not collect personal information. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has occurred at domain- or cookie level, it will persist for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager. https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/tag-manager/use-policy/
7.7. Our website utilizes Google Looker Studio, a tool for managing and visualizing data from Google. Google Looker Studio assists us in efficiently analyzing and visualizing data to enhance our service.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your data is kept secure and confidential.

9.1. Processing of Page Insights
Facebook provides us with statistics and insights for our Facebook page in anonymous form, which enable us to develop an understanding of the types of actions that people take on our page (so-called “page insights”). These page views are created on the basis of certain information about people who have visited our site. This processing of personal data is carried out by Facebook and us as jointly responsible data controllers. This processing serves our legitimate interest in evaluating the types of actions performed on our site and improving our site based on the insight gleaned. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. We will never associate the information obtained through Page Insights with a particular Facebook profile by drawing on “Like” information for our Page.
We have reached an agreement with Facebook on processing as joint data controllers, which defines the distribution of data protection obligations between us and Facebook. You can view the details pertaining to the processing of personal data to create Page Insights and the agreement concluded between us and Facebook here.
9.2. Processing of data communicated to us through our website
We also process information that you have made available to us via our Facebook page. Such information can include the Facebook name, contact details or a message sent to us. We process this personal data only if we have expressly requested you to provide us with this data beforehand. This processing by us takes place with us acting as sole data controller.
If your enquiry is directed at the conclusion or execution of a contract with us, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR constitutes the legal basis for data processing. Otherwise, we will process data on the basis of our legitimate interest in establishing contact with those individuals submitting an enquiry. The legal basis for data processing in this context is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag for our websites. This tool creates a cookie in your browser which allows us to record the following data, among others:
LinkedIn does not share any personal data with iteratec but offers anonymised reports about the website target group as well as ad performance. Additionally, LinkedIn offers the possibility of retargeting via the Insight Tag. This data allows iteratec to display targeted ads outside its website without you being identified as a website user.
The use of LinkedIn Insight is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
The data collected by LinkedIn is encrypted, anonymised within seven days and the anonymised data is deleted within 90 days.

Right to the disclosure of information: Users have the right to request the disclosure, free of charge, of information on the personal data we have stored on them.
Right of rectification: In addition, users have the right to correct inaccurate data, to restrict the processing and deletion of their personal data and, where applicable, to exercise their rights to data portability.
Right of revocation: Users may also revoke their consent, in principle with effect for the future. This revocation must be sent to the data protection officer.

To the extent that user data is not deleted because it is required for other (and legally permissible) purposes, its processing is restricted. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to user data that must be retained for commercial or tax-related reasons.
