Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal e-mail. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. E or F GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place if it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the applications you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, deletion and correction
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice if you have further questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do so, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to check this. You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data for the duration of the review.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense 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 European Union or of a Member State.
Objection to advertising e-mails
We hereby object to the use of contact data published as part of our obligation to provide a legal notice for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.
4. data collection on this website
Cookies
Our Internet pages use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.
In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you visit our website (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company.
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. displaying videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or display advertising.
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies) or to provide certain functions that you have requested (functional cookies) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the cookies in question are stored exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR); consent can be revoked at any time.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
If cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this separately in this privacy policy and, if necessary, request your consent.
Server log files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website - the server log files must be recorded for this purpose.
Request by e-mail, telephone or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, we will store and process your inquiry, including all personal data (name, inquiry), for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested.
The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.
5. applicant data
Handling applicant data
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by e-mail, post or via the online application form). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure you that your data will be collected, processed and used in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.
Scope and purpose of data collection
If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation) and - if you have given your consent - Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.
Data retention period
If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. The retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will only be deleted when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.
Data may also be stored for longer if you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
6. data protection when visiting our social media channels
We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to communicate with the customers, interested parties and users active there and to inform them about our services.
We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may result in risks for users because, for example, it could make it more difficult to enforce users' rights. With regard to US providers that are certified under the Privacy Shield, we would like to point out that they thereby undertake to comply with the data protection standards of the EU.
Furthermore, user data is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created from the usage behavior and the resulting interests of the users. The usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements inside and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the user's computer, in which the user's usage behavior and interests are stored. Furthermore, data can also be stored in the user profiles independently of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).
The processing of users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in effective user information and communication with users in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. GDPR. If the users are asked by the respective providers of the platforms for consent to the data processing described above, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a., Art. 7 GDPR.
For a detailed description of the respective processing and the opt-out options, we refer to the following linked information from the providers.
In the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we would also like to point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the users' data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. If you still need help, you can contact us.

As the operator of an Instagram page, we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social network Instagram (Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland or Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA) within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 7 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). When you visit our Instagram page, personal data is processed by the controller. In the following, we will inform you about what data is involved, how it is processed and what rights you have in this regard.
As the controller of this page, we have entered into agreements with Facebook that govern, among other things, the conditions for using the Instagram page. The Instagram terms of use at https://help.instagram.com/581066165581870 and the other conditions and guidelines listed there at the end apply.
One of the purposes of processing the information is to enable Facebook to improve its advertising system, which it distributes via its network. On the other hand, it should enable us as the operator of the Instagram page to obtain statistics that Facebook creates based on visits to our Instagram page. The purpose of this is to manage the marketing of our activities. For example, it enables us to gain knowledge of the profiles of visitors who like our Instagram page or use applications on the page in order to provide them with more relevant content and develop features that may be of greater interest to them.
In order to better understand how we can better achieve our goals with our Instagram page, demographic and geographical evaluations are also created and made available to us based on the information collected. We can use this information to place targeted interest-based advertisements without gaining direct knowledge of the visitor's identity. If visitors use Facebook on multiple devices, the data can also be collected and analyzed across devices if the visitors are registered and logged into their own profile.
The visitor statistics compiled are only transmitted to us in anonymized form. We have no access to the underlying data.
We operate this Instagram page to present ourselves to Instagram users and other interested persons who visit our Instagram page and to communicate with them. The processing of users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in an optimized company presentation (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
It is conceivable that some of the information collected may also be processed outside the European Union by Facebook Inc. based in the USA. Facebook Inc. is certified under the US-EU data protection agreement "Privacy Shield" and thus undertakes to comply with European data protection regulations.
We do not pass on any personal data ourselves.
Instagram users can use the settings for advertising preferences to influence the extent to which their user behavior may be recorded when they visit our Instagram page. The Facebook and Instagram settings offer further options under:
https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/?next=/accounts/privacy_and_security
or the form for the right of objection at:
https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/1994830130782319.
The processing of information by means of the cookies used by Facebook can also be prevented by not allowing third-party cookies or cookies from Facebook in your browser settings.
Shared responsibility
The agreements with Facebook, including on joint responsibility, essentially mean that requests for information and the assertion of other data subject rights should be made directly to Facebook. As the provider of the social network and the possibility of integrating Facebook pages there, Facebook alone has direct access to the necessary information and can also immediately take any necessary measures and provide information. Should our support nevertheless be required, we can be contacted at any time.
Further information on our contact details, the rights of data subjects vis-à-vis us and how we otherwise process personal data can be found in the privacy policy on our website.
Information on the handling of personal data by Facebook on Instagram can be found in their privacy policy at https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875 or at http://instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.
In the following data protection information, we (the controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation) explain what personal data we collect about you when you visit our Facebook company page https://www.facebook.com/MeggerDE. Personal data is all data with which you can be personally identified.
Our Facebook company presence https://www.facebook.com/MeggerDE (fan page) serves us as an information platform for a broad public and for addressing interested visitors in a targeted manner. We only process data if you specifically make it available to us by using the interaction options. We would like to point out that you use this Facebook page and its functions voluntarily and on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating).
Data processing by Facebook
We are also present on Facebook. We have no influence on the data protection settings of this third-party platform. However, the European Court of Justice (judgment of 05.06.2018 - C-210/16) has ruled in a case that, in addition to Facebook itself, the operator of Facebook fan pages is also (co-)responsible for data processing. Therefore, in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we inform you here about data processing in connection with Facebook, insofar as we are aware of and can influence this data processing.
When you visit our Facebook corporate presence, Facebook collects, among other things, your IP address and other information that is stored on your PC in the form of cookies. This information is used to provide us, as the operator of the Facebook pages, with statistical information about the use of the Facebook page.
Facebook provides us as the site operator with the following data (anonymized and summarized by group) for evaluation purposes:
- Age
- Gender
- Place of residence (nation and region or city)
The total usage is recorded anonymously:
- Time of use
- Interactions in the context of posts (e.g. reactions, comments, click rate, views, shares)
- Video usage time
- Devices, operating systems, software used
- Usage history (referring websites)
- Language
- Interests/ Topics
- Location of use
Facebook provides more information on this under the following link: https://de-de.facebook.com/help/pages/insights
The data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
The operators of Facebook process your data in order to operate and optimize their own services and to pass on the data - possibly for commercial purposes. It is expressly pointed out that Facebook also sets cookies with which the company Facebook can track usage behavior on other websites and apps of the group and integrate Facebook technologies on certain websites and apps. This applies in particular if you are already registered on Facebook. You can find more detailed information on this in the data protection information of the third-party platform. The data is collected using Facebook's standard criteria and filter functions. We have no influence on these criteria.
The data collected about you in this context is processed by Facebook and may be transferred to countries outside the EU. What information Facebook receives and how it is used is described by Facebook in general terms in its data usage guidelines. There you will also find information on how to contact Facebook and the settings options for advertisements. The data guidelines are available at the following link: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy or https://de-de.facebook.com/full_data_use_policy
How Facebook uses the data from visits to Facebook pages for its own purposes, to what extent activities from the Facebook page are assigned to individual users, how long Facebook stores this data and whether data from a visit to the Facebook company presence is passed on to third parties is not conclusively and clearly stated by Facebook and is not known to us.
When you access a Facebook company presence, the IP address assigned to your end device is transmitted to Facebook. According to Facebook, this IP address is anonymized (for "German" IP addresses) and deleted after 90 days. Facebook also stores information about the end devices of its users (e.g. as part of the "login notification" function). This may enable Facebook to assign IP addresses to individual users.
If you are currently logged in to Facebook as a user, a cookie with your Facebook ID is stored on your device. This enables Facebook to track that you have visited this page and how you have used it. This also applies to all other Facebook pages.
If you want to avoid this, you should log out of Facebook or deactivate the "stay logged in" function, delete the cookies on your device and close and restart your browser. In this way, Facebook information that can be used to directly identify you will be deleted. This allows you to use our Facebook company presence without revealing your Facebook ID.
Insofar as the respective requirements are met, you have the right to rectification in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, to erasure in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR, to restriction of processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR, to object to processing in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR.
Please note, however, that we do not process any of your personal data, but only statistical data. If necessary, please contact the operator of the third-party platform. Information on how you can manage or delete existing information about you can be found in the above-mentioned data policy(https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy or https://de-de.facebook.com/full_data_use_policy).
