We attach particular importance to protecting your personal data. Your personal data is processed in accordance with the data protection regulations, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (FDPA).

The following information provides an overview of the nature, extent and purpose of collecting, processing and transferring personal data as well as the safety measures deployed to protect these data.

Personal data are individual information on personal or factual circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person such as e.g. your name, address, telephone number, your date of birth as well your e-mail and IP address.

1.2 Legal basis for the processing of personal data

• As far as we obtain a consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) a GDPR serves as legal basis. You can withdraw this processing at any time in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR.
• Art. 6 (1) b GDPR serves as legal basis for the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract or for the execution of pre-contractual measures.
• If processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) c GDPR serves as legal basis.
• If the processing is necessary for the preservation of the legitimate interest of our company or of a third party and if the fundamental rights and freedoms of the person concerned do not predominate, Art. 6 (1) f GDPR serves as legal basis for processing. In this case, you have the right of objection according to Art. 21 GDPR.

1.3 Data deletion and storage period

Personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose for storage no longer applies. In addition, storage may take place if this is required by statutory retention obligations to which our company is subject (e.g. accounting or tax retention periods of up to 10 years in accordance with the German Tax Code (AO) and Commercial Code (HGB)).

1.5 Changes to our Privacy Statement

We reserve the right to make changes to our privacy statement to ensure that our privacy statement is always up to date with the current legal regulations. This applies also when the privacy statement needs to be adjusted due to new or redesigned services. The new privacy statement will then take effect the next time you use our services.

This privacy policy is dated 2023.

II. PRIVACY POLICY WEBSITE

2.1 Provision of the website

Use of hosting service providers

Our website is hosted on servers of a hosting provider, which is located in the EU, based on an order processing according to Art. 28 GDPR. Within the scope of its services, the hosting service provider may have access to personal data of our users, in particular to technical data, which arise within the scope of the technical communication between you and our website (e.g. server log files). However, he may not use them for his own purposes. The use of a hosting service provider is based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f GDPR in the provision of infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, e-mail dispatch and security services.

Server Logs

When you visit our website or use our services the device used for accessing the site automatically transmits log data (connection data) to our servers. The relevant information consists of:

• The browser and its version number,
• The operating system and its version number,
• The referrer URL, which is the website you visited before switching to our website,
• The date and time of access to our website,
• The name of the subpages,
• The corresponding IP address,
• The amount of data transmitted.

The data collected are used exclusively for evaluating the data statistically to ensure operation and safety and to optimise processing of the offer. For security grounds, however, we reserve the right to inspect log files retroactively if we have sufficient grounds to suspect illegal usage. The data will not be stored for longer than necessary. This collection is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1) f GDPR.

Cookies

In several areas of the website we use so-called “cookies”, for example to identify the preferences of the users and thus to optimally design the website. This allows for easier navigation and a high degree of user-friendliness of the website. The processing by cookies for the technical provision of the website constitutes a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f GDPR / § 25 (2) TTDSG. In addition, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR or § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as we require your consent for the use of cookies (e.g. for marketing or analysis purposes).

Cookies are small files, which are stored on the visitor’s hard disk drive. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Most cookies used on the website are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Other cookies stay on your devices and make it possible for your browser to be recognised the next time you visit. These files can be used, for example, to display information on the page that is specifically tailored to your interests.

You can change the properties of your browser so that it informs you of the placement of cookies. In this way, the use of cookies is made transparent. If you fully oppose the use of cookies, you may not be able to use individual functions of this website.

Cookie-Consent-Management

We use the Usercentrics consent management service as our cookie consent management platform. The provider is Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Straße 7, 80331 Munich, Germany. The purpose of data processing is to comply with legal obligations and to store consent. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) c GDPR. The consent data (consent given and revocation of consent) will be stored for three years. Further information on the processing of your data at Usercentrics can be found in the privacy policy at www.usercentrics.com/privacy-policy.

Security of Your Data

We deploy technical and organisational security measures to adequately protect the data that you have made available to us from being unintentionally or intentionally manipulated, lost, destroyed or accessed by unauthorised persons. Therefore, we are using SSL encryption for the transmission of confidential content e.g. enquires which you send to us as the site operator. An encrypted connection can be recognised when the web address changes from "http://" to "https://" and a padlock symbol is shown in your browser bar. When SSL encryption is activated, third parties cannot read the data that you transmit to us. Our security measures are kept up-to-date.

2.2 Contact us

If you contact us (e.g. via contact form, e-mail, telephone, social media), your personal data will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and any related follow-up questions pursuant to Art. 6 (1) b GDPR (within the framework of pre-contractual / contractual measures) or pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f GDPR (general enquiries). This data is not transferred to third parties without your consent.

The data entered into the contact form remain with us until you request that they be deleted, you withdraw your consent to the storage of your data, or the purpose of the data storage is no longer given (i.e. after the successful processing of your request), provided there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary.

2.3 Analysis-Tools

The analysis measures listed below and used by us are carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) a GDPR (consent). With the use of these analysis measures, we want to ensure that our website is designed to meet requirements and is continuously optimised. Using the analysis tools, we record the use of our website under a pseudonym and evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our services.

You can withdraw this processing at any time in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR.

Google Analytics

This website uses the functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. It is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4 Ireland. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. These are text files which are stored on your computer and make it possible to analyse your use of the website. Deletion of the user and results data takes place after 14 months.

IP Anonymisation

We have activated an IP anonymisation function on this website. Through this, Google shortens your IP address prior to its transfer to the USA provided that you are within a member states of the European Union or in another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. In exceptional circumstances only, the full IP address is transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and shortened there. Google uses this data on behalf of the website operator to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports about website activities and to provide other website services related to website and internet usage on behalf of the website provider. Your IP address, collected in the context of Google Analytics, is not combined with other data provided by Google.

Browser Plugin / Prevention of data collection

You can prevent the storage of cookies with the appropriate settings in your browser. Please note, however, that if you do so not all features of the website will be available to you. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from gaining access to the data created by the cookie and your usage data (incl. your IP address) and prevent Google from processing such data by downloading the following plug-in for your browser: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

More information regarding the handling of user data by Google Analytics is available at Google under the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en

Order Processing

We have entered into a data processing contract with Google and we strictly apply the regulations of the supervisory authorities when using Google Analytics.

2.4 Contents and Services of Third Parties

Based on the legitimate interest of the provider according Art. 6 (1) f GDPR, a situation can arise where contents, services and benefits of third parties are integrated which complement our service offerings. With the use of the following services, we want to ensure a customised design and the continuous optimisation of our website.

Google Maps

We use the map service Google Maps on our website to display maps. Google Maps is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4 Ireland. Within the framework of the services, information on the use of our website are transferred to Google servers. The use of Google Maps serves the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and an easy finding of the places indicated by us on the website.

Detailed information can be found in the Data Privacy Centre under google.com: Transparency and choice http://www.google.com/intl/en/privacy/ and data privacy provisions http://www.google.com/intl/en/privacy/privacy-policy.html .

Google reCAPTCHA

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA) on our website. reCAPTCHA is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4 Ireland (“Google”). In order to ensure sufficient data security when forms are transmitted, we use the Google reCAPTCHA service in certain cases. This serves above all to differentiate whether the input is made by a natural person or whether it is misused by mechanical and automated processing. To this end, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the website visitor on the basis of various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as you visit the website. For analysis purposes, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, length of stay of the website visitor on the website or mouse movements made by the user).

However, if IP anonymisation is enabled on this website, Google will previously truncate your IP address within member states of the European Union or other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Google uses this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA is not merged with other data from Google. These data are subject to the differing data protection regulations of Google. The processing takes place on the basis of our legitimate interest to protect our web offers from abusive automated spying and from SPAM.

Further information regarding Google reCAPTCHA as well as Google’s Data Privacy Policy can be found under the following links. https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html.

Google Tag Manager

This website uses Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution offered by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4 Ireland, with which the company can administer website tags via an interface. The tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-free domain that collects no personal data. Google Tag Manager triggers other tags which may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If on the domain or the cookie level a deactivation is configured by the user, such deactivation is retained for all tracking tags that were implemented with Google Tag Manager. The tags used are named separately below and can be individually edited by you in the privacy settings, for example by deactivating cookies for these elements. Further information https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Links to websites of third parties

Based on the legitimate interest of the provider, it may occur that contents, services and benefits of third parties are integrated which complement our service offerings. When you access web pages which are linked on this website, information such as your name, IP address, browser details etc. can retrieved again. This Privacy Statement does not govern the collection, dissemination or the processing of personal data by any third parties. In this regard, please also pay attention to the individual privacy statements of the respective third-party providers and service providers to which we link on our website.

2.5 Minors

We principally address adult persons with our online offer. Personal information of persons under 16 years of age may only be made available to us with the explicit consent of their legal guardian (Art. 8 GDPR). Processing without the consent of the legal guardian is not permitted. We therefore reserve the right to delete all data relating to minors unless we have the consent of a parent or guardian.

III. INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS (CAREER-BOARD)

3.1 Purpose and legal basis for the collection and processing

By registering on our careers page, you express your interest in taking up employment with a company of the MEYER Group. Your data will be processed by us for the purpose of processing your application in accordance with Art. 88 GDPR i. c. w. § 26 FDPA. If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR are voluntarily communicated as part of the application procedure, their processing is also carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) b GDPR.

3.2 Recipient of your data

The recipients of your data are the departments involved in the human resources management process (including human resources, managers and heads of department) of the controller and, depending on the job advertisement, the participating companies of the MEYER Group (https://www.meyerwerft.de/de/unternehmen/die_meyer_gruppe/index.jsp). Your data will be treated as strictly confidential and will not be passed on to third parties without your consent. A transfer to third countries or international organisations is not intended.

3.3 Storage of your data

IV. INFORMATION FOR BUSINESS PARTNERS

4.1 Purpose and legal basis for the collection and processing

The primary purpose of data processing is the creation, execution or termination of the contractual relationship. The primary legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) b GDPR. Without this type of use of your data, the business relationship existing between you and us cannot be carried out.

We also process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f GDPR to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties (e.g. public authorities). This may be necessary, for example, to maintain IT security and IT operations or for purposes of corporate management, internal communication and other administrative purposes. You can object to this processing by giving special reasons in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR.

In addition, we process your data to fulfil legal obligations, such as regulatory requirements, commercial and tax law storage obligations or documentation obligations. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) c GDPR in conjunction with the nationally applicable laws.

In individual cases, it may also happen that we process your data on the basis of your separately granted consent in accordance with Artt. 6 (1) a, 7 GDPR (e.g. in the context of registering for our newsletter or publishing photo and video recordings). You are always free to decide whether you wish to give your consent. Once you have given your consent, you can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future. To do so, please send corresponding enquiries to the contact address given above.

Should we process your personal data for a purpose not mentioned above, we will inform you of this in advance.

4.2 Recipient of your data

Within our company, only those persons receive your personal data who need it to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations. In addition, we sometimes use different service providers to fulfill these obligations, so that it may be necessary to transfer your personal data to other recipients outside the company to the extent necessary to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations. These third parties can be, for example, authorities, financial institutions, suppliers, etc. To process your data technically, we sometimes use external service providers who act as processors in accordance with Art. 28 EU GDPR.

4.3 Storage of your data

We store your personal data only as long as they are necessary for the above-mentioned purposes. After termination of the contractual relationship, your personal data will be stored for as long as we are legally obliged to do so. This regularly results from legal obligations to provide evidence and to retain data, which are regulated in the German Commercial Code and the German Fiscal Code, among others. The storage periods thereafter are up to ten years. In addition, personal data may be stored for the time during which claims can be made against us (statutory limitation period of three or up to thirty years).
