Cookies
The websites of CHOYCE uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Numerous cookies contain what is known as a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that allows websites and servers to associate the cookie with the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain different cookies. A specific internet browser can thus be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, CHOYCE can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the setting of cookies.
Through the use of cookies, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the benefit of the user. As mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their login credentials each time they visit the website because this is managed by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system.
With the user's consent, we also use cookies on our website that enable the analysis of user browsing behavior.
The following data may be transmitted in this manner:

Use of website functions
The data collected in this way from users is pseudonymized through technical measures. The data is not stored together with other personal data of the users.
When users access our website, they are informed about the use of cookies for analysis purposes, and their consent to process personal data in this context is obtained. Users are also directed to this Privacy Policy in this context.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analysis purposes, provided that the user has given their consent, is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Data Protection in Applications and the Application Process

Processing may also occur electronically, particularly if an applicant submits application documents electronically, such as via email or a web form provided on the website.
If the data controller enters into an employment contract with the applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of managing the employment relationship in compliance with statutory requirements.
If the data controller does not enter into an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after the notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the data controller oppose deletion.

The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR or Section 26(1) BDSG.
Legal Basis for Processing
Below are some basic details regarding the legal grounds for data processing:
Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, such as processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for pre-contractual measures, such as inquiries about our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for compliance with tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.
Additionally, processing operations may be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies when the processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests.
Duration of Personal Data Storage
The criterion for the duration of personal data storage is the respective statutory retention period. After the retention period has expired, the relevant data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for the performance of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
Changes to the Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to adjust this privacy notice in order to ensure it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, for example, when new services are introduced. The new privacy notice will apply to your next visit.
