Cookies and how we use them

Cookies are unique identifiers that we transfer to the hard drive on your computer or other end devices to enable our systems to recognise your device, for example.
We also use cookies for other purposes. For example, we can:

  • Automatically identify you when you sign in to our website. This allows us to provide you with specific product recommendations and offer other functions and services.
  • Deliver content on the HAUTAU website specifically relevant to your interests, including advertisements.
  • Conduct research and diagnostics to improve contents, products and services.
  • Prevent fraudulent activity.
  • Improve security.

Cookies allow you to take advantage of many of our offerings (services/features). If you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you will not be able to use other products or services which require registration, for example.

Rejecting cookies: Browser settings

The Help feature in most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie and how to disable cookies altogether. You can also disable or delete similar functions used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the browser add-on's settings or visiting the add-on manufacturer's website.
 

General data and information
When you access our website, other information is sometimes automatically gathered in addition to personal data which is not related to a specific person. This includes the browser used, the operating system, the number of visits and other information. We collect such data for statistical purposes only to optimise our website and make our online services even more appealing. Data is collected and stored in anonymised or pseudonymised format only, so you cannot be identified from the data gathered.
 

Deletion and blocking of personal data
HAUTAU only processes and stores personal data for the period of time required to fulfil the purpose for which they are stored or if the European Directive and ordinance regulator or other legislator requires their storage in laws or regulations which HAUTAU must comply with.
If the reason for storage no longer applies or a storage period stipulated by the European directive and ordinance regulator or another appropriate legislator expires, personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.
 

Rights of the person affected
In accordance with art. 77 GDPR, you have the right to complain to a regulatory body (for example, the regional data protection officer in Lower Saxony) if you believe that your personal data has been processed illegally. We can provide information on the data we have stored about you free of charge at any time, without you having to cite a reason. You may ask us to block, correct or delete the data that we collect about you at any time and withdraw your consent to anonymised or pseudonymised data collection and storage for the purposes of optimising our website. You may also withdraw permission that you gave to us to collect and use your data at any time without needing to indicate the reason why.
 

Data protection for job applications and application processes
HAUTAU collects and processes applicants' personal data for the purpose of completing the application process. Data may also be processed electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents by electronic means such as email, so that the person responsible can process them. If HAUTAU concludes a contract of employment with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purposes of the employment contract in accordance with statutory regulations. If HAUTAU does not conclude an employment contract with the candidate, the application documents will be automatically deleted six months after the decision to reject the candidate is notified, provided that deletion does not prejudice HAUTAU's other legitimate interests. Other legitimate interests in this respect include burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
 

Data privacy terms regarding the application and use of Google Analytics
The HAUTAU website uses Google Analytics, an internet evaluation service from Google Ireland Limited("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and that permit analysis of use of the website. The information that the cookie generates about your use of the website is normally transferred to Google in the USA and stored there.

However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, Google shortens your IP address within a member state of the European Union or within another state which has signed the European Economic Area Agreement prior to transmission. A full IP address is only transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there in exceptional cases only. Google will use this information to evaluate your usage of the website, compiling reports on website activity for the operator of this website and providing other services relating to website activity and Internet usage to the website operator.

Under no circumstances will the IP address provided by your browser for Google Analytics be linked to other Google data. You can prevent cookies from being stored by making relevant settings in your browser software; however, be advised that you may not be able to make full use all of this website’s functions in such case. You can also prevent data generated by the cookie and related to your usage of this website, including your IP address, from being compiled and processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in at: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

We point out that this website uses Google Analytics with the extension '_anonymizelp()' and, consequently, IP addresses are only used in shortened form to prevent direct personal references.

You will find more information on Google's applicable data privacy terms at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html

Purpose of processing: Google will use this information to evaluate your usage of the website, compiling reports on website activity for the operator of this website and providing other services relating to website activity and Internet usage to the website operator.

Legal basis: The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is your consent in accordance with art. 6, para. 1, letter a GDPR.

Recipients / Categories of recipients: The recipient of the data collected is Google.

Transmission to third-party countries: The personal data is transmitted to the USA under the EU-US Privacy Shield on the basis of the adequacy decision by the European Commission.
