Security and protection of your personal data

We consider it our primary task to maintain the confidentiality of the personal data you provide and to protect it from unauthorised access.
As a company under private law, we are subject to the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), among others. We have taken measures to ensure that both we and our external service providers comply with data protection regulations.

Definitions

The legislator requires that personal data be processed lawfully, fairly and in a manner that is comprehensible to the data subject ("lawfulness, fairness and transparency"). To ensure this, we inform you about the individual legal definitions that are also used in this privacy policy:

1. Personal data
"Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as "data subject"); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

2. Processing
"Processing" means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

3. Restriction of processing
"Restriction of processing" is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting its future processing.

4. Profiling
"Profiling" means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

5. Pseudonymisation
"Pseudonymisation" means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

6. File system
"File system" means any structured collection of personal data that is accessible according to specific criteria, regardless of whether this collection is managed centrally, decentrally or according to functional or geographical aspects.

7. Controller
"controller" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

8. Processor
"Processor" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

9. Recipient
"Recipient" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular enquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.

10. Third party
"Third party" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

11. Consent
"Consent" of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

Lawfulness of the processing

The processing of personal data is only lawful if there is a legal basis for the processing. The legal basis for processing may be in particular pursuant to Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a - f GDPR:

a.    The data subject has given consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for one or more specific purposes;
b. Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;
c. Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;
d. Processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;
e.    processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
f. processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

Information on the collection of personal data
In the following, we provide information about the collection of personal data when using our website. Personal data are e.g. name, address, e-mail addresses, user behaviour.
 

Collection of personal data when visiting our website    
When using the website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security:
- IP address
- Date and time of the request
- Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
- Content of the request (specific page)
- Access status/HTTP status code
- Amount of data transferred in each case
- Website from which the request comes
- Browser
- Operating system and its interface
- Language and version of the browser software

Access data
The website operator or site provider collects data about access to the site and stores it as "server log files". The following data is logged in this way:

•    Visited website
•    Time at the time of access
•    IP address used (in anonymised form)

The data collected is only used for statistical analyses and to improve the website. However, the website operator reserves the right to check the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of unlawful use. In this respect, log files are stored for 7 days; the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR for the protection of our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offer and better security against cyber attacks, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests.

Cookie Consent Tool
We use the Cookiebot cookie consent tool to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The provider of this technology is Cybot A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark. By integrating this tool, users are shown a banner when they access the website, in which they can give their consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications by ticking a box. The tool blocks the setting of all cookies requiring consent until the respective user gives their consent by ticking the box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on your end device if you have given your consent. So that the cookie consent tool can clearly assign page views to individual users and individually record, log and store the consent settings you have made for a session duration, certain user information (including the IP address) is collected when our website is accessed by the cookie consent tool, transmitted to the server of the cookie consent tool provider and stored there. This data processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website. Another legal basis for the data processing described is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR. As the controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

By using our website, information (e.g. IP address) may be accessed or information (e.g. cookies) may be stored in your end devices. This access or storage may involve further processing of personal data within the meaning of the GDPR.
In cases in which such access to information or such storage of information is absolutely necessary for the technically error-free provision of our services, this is done on the basis of § 25 para. 1 sentence 1, para. 2 no. 2 TTDSG.  

Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG)
The legal basis for the storage and retrieval of information in the end user's terminal equipment is consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) sentence 1 of the german TTDSG . This consent is requested when the website is accessed.
According to Section 25 (2) No. 2 TTDSG, consent is not required if the storage of information in the end user's terminal equipment or access to information already stored in the end user's terminal equipment is absolutely necessary so that the provider of a telemedia service can provide a telemedia service expressly requested by the user. In the cookie settings, you can see which cookies are classified as absolutely necessary (often also referred to as "technically necessary cookies") and therefore fall under the exemption rule of Section 25 (2) TTDSG and therefore do not require consent.
Please note that the legal basis for the downstream processing of personal data is then derived from the GDPR. The relevant legal bases for the processing of personal data on this website can be found further on in this privacy policy.

Use of cookies

In addition to the aforementioned data, cookies or similar technologies such as pixels (hereinafter generally referred to as "cookies") are used on your computer when you use and visit our website. Cookies are either small databases that are stored by your browser on your end device to store certain information, or image files such as pixels. The next time you visit our website with the same end device, the information stored in cookies is subsequently sent back either to our website ("first party cookie") or to another website to which the cookie belongs ("third party cookie").
The stored and returned information enables the respective website to recognise that you have already accessed and visited it with the browser on your end device. We use this information to optimise the design and display of the website according to your preferences. Only the cookie itself is identified on your end device. Any further storage of personal data will only take place with your express consent or if this is absolutely necessary in order to be able to use the service offered and accessed by you accordingly.
This website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and function of which are explained below:

-Strictly necessary cookies (type a)
-Functional and performance cookies (type b)
-Cookies requiring consent (type c)
    

Strictly necessary cookies (type a)
Strictly necessary cookies guarantee functions without which you cannot use our websites as intended. These cookies are used exclusively by us and are therefore first party cookies. This means that all information stored in the cookies is sent back to our website.
Strictly necessary cookies are used, for example, to ensure that you as a registered user always remain logged in when accessing various subpages of our website and therefore do not have to re-enter your login details each time you access a new page.
The use of strictly necessary cookies on our website is possible without your consent. For this reason, strictly necessary cookies cannot be deactivated or activated individually. However, you have the option of generally deactivating cookies in your browser at any time (see below).

Functional and performance cookies (type b)
Functional cookies enable our website to save information you have already entered (e.g. registered name or language selection) and to offer you improved and more personalised functions based on this. These cookies only collect and store anonymised information so that they cannot track your movements on other websites.
Performance cookies collect information about how our websites are used in order to improve their attractiveness, content and functionality. These cookies help us, for example, to determine whether and which subpages of our website are visited and what content users are particularly interested in. In particular, we record the number of visits to a page, the number of subpages accessed, the time spent on our website, the order of the pages visited, which search terms led you to us, the country, region and, if applicable, the city from which the access is made, as well as the proportion of mobile devices that access our websites. We also record movements, "clicks" and scrolling with the computer mouse in order to understand which areas of our website are of particular interest to users. As a result, we can tailor the content of our website more specifically to the needs of our users and optimise our offering. The IP address of your computer transmitted for technical reasons is automatically anonymised and does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the individual user.
You can object to the use of functional and performance cookies at any time by adjusting your cookie settings accordingly.

Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR

Cookies requiring consent (type c)
Cookies that are neither absolutely necessary (type a) nor functional or performance cookies (type b) are only used after you have given your consent.
We also reserve the right to use information that we have obtained by means of cookies from an anonymised analysis of the usage behaviour of visitors to our websites to show you specific advertising for certain of our products on our own websites. We believe that you as a user benefit from this because we display advertising or content that we assume, based on your surfing behaviour, matches your interests and you are therefore shown less random advertising or certain content that may be of less interest to you.
Marketing cookies originate from external advertising companies (third-party cookies) and are used to collect information about the websites visited by the user in order to create targeted advertising for the user.

Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR

Opt-out for marketing cookies
You can also manage cookies used for online advertising via the tools developed in many countries as part of self-regulatory programmes, such as the US-based www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU-based www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices.

Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR

Management and deletion of all cookies
In addition, you can set your Internet browser so that the storage of cookies on your end device is generally prevented or you are asked each time whether you agree to the setting of cookies. Once cookies have been set, you can also delete them at any time. You can find out how all this works in detail in the help function of your browser.

We use the following cookies described here for the following purposes:

Google Tag Manager

The Google Tag Manager allows marketers to manage website tags via an interface. The Tag Manager itself, which uses the tags, does not collect any personal data. The Tag Manager merely triggers other tags. Corresponding explanations for these respective third-party providers can be found in this privacy policy. However, the Google Tag Manager does not use this data. If you have set or otherwise deactivated cookies, this will be taken into account for all tracking tags used with Google Tag Manager, i.e. the tool will not change your cookie settings.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

Other functions and offers on our website

(1) In addition to the purely informational use of our website, we offer various services that you can use if you are interested. To do so, you must generally provide additional personal data that we use to provide the respective service and for which the aforementioned data processing principles apply.
(2) In some cases, we use external service providers to process your data. These have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored.
(3) Furthermore, we may pass on your personal data to third parties if we offer participation in promotions, competitions, contract conclusions or similar services together with partners. You will receive more detailed information on this when you provide your personal data or in the description of the offer below.
(4) If our service providers or partners are based in a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will inform you of the consequences of this circumstance in the description of the offer.

Applicant management

Dr Peters Group collects, stores and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. This may also involve electronic processing. This is the case if the applicant sends the relevant application documents to the controller electronically, e.g. by e-mail or using a form that you can find on the website.

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in this application procedure is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. According to this, the processing of data is permitted if it is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. Should the data be required for legal prosecution after completion of the application process, data processing may be carried out on the basis of the requirements of Art. 6 GDPR, in particular to safeguard legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our interest then lies in the assertion or defence of claims.

Your application data will be reviewed by the HR department after receipt of your application. Suitable applications are then forwarded internally to the department managers responsible for the respective open position. The next steps are then agreed. Within the company, only those persons have access to your data who need it for the proper course of our application procedure.

In the event that Dr Peters concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If no contract is concluded with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted within three months of notification of the rejection of the application, provided there are no other legitimate interests to the contrary. Other legitimate interests are subject to proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act.

The data is processed exclusively in data centres in the Federal Republic of Germany.

You have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay and we are obliged to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
a.    The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

The right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") does not exist if the processing is necessary:

- for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
- for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller -
for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) GDPR;
- for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) GDPR in so far as the right referred to in paragraph 1 is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or

b. the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead;
c. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or d. the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR.    
the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
d. the data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
Where processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, such personal data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with the data subject's consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
To assert the right to restriction of processing, the data subject can contact us at any time using the contact details provided above.

(7) Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and you have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where one of the following applies

a. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and
b. the processing is carried out by automated means.
When exercising the right to data portability pursuant to paragraph 1, you have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The exercise of the right to data portability does not affect the right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"). This right does not apply to processing that is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

(8) Right to object
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. The controller shall no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.
In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
You can exercise your right to object at any time by contacting the respective controller.

(9) Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision:
a. is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract between the data subject and the controller,
b. is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
c. with the express consent of the data subject.
The data controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.
The data subject can exercise this right at any time by contacting the respective controller.

(10) Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data relating to him or her infringes this Regulation. Your competent supervisory authority is that of your place of residence. You can find a list of all supervisory authorities here www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html

(11) Right to an effective judicial remedy
Without prejudice to any available administrative or extrajudicial remedy, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77 GDPR, you have the right to an effective judicial remedy if you consider that your rights under this Regulation have been infringed as a result of the processing of your personal data in non-compliance with this Regulation.
