3. General Information and Mandatory Information

Data Protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Controller Information
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

ICT Cloud Computing Services GmbH
Mergenthalerallee 77
65760 Eschborn

Phone: +49 (160) 99061517
Email: info@ict.cloud

The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage Period
Unless a specific storage period is specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to apply. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

General Notes on Data Processing Legal Bases on this Website
If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, we will process your personal data based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a GDPR if special categories of data according to Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR are processed. In the event of express consent, e.g., for the transfer of personal data to third countries, the processing is also based on Art. 49 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), the processing will also take place based on § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is processed to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, the processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process data for the fulfillment of legal obligations based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR, and for the protection of legitimate interests based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Information on the relevant legal bases will be provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Note on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries
We also use tools from companies based in the USA or other countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) that are not secure in terms of data protection. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that in these countries, a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you being able to take legal action against this. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA 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 AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE PURPOSE OF ASSERTING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations 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, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies

Handling of Applicant Data
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, post, or via an online application form). Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected within the framework of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data is in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions and that your data will be treated strictly confidentially.

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection
If you submit an application to us, we process the associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes from job interviews, etc.) to the extent 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 initiation of a contract), and – if you have given consent – Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be disclosed within our company to persons involved in the processing of your application.

If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship based on § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Data Retention Period
If we are unable to offer you a position, you reject a job offer, or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have provided to us based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to 6 months after the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). Afterward, the data will be deleted, and the physical application documents will be destroyed. The retention serves primarily as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g., due to a pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place once the purpose for further retention no longer applies.

Extended retention may also occur if you have given corresponding consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
