I. General notes and mandatory information

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 statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is information with which you can be personally identified. This data protection declaration explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by email) could have security gaps. The complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Right to object against data collection in special cases and against direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The legal foundation on which processing is based can be found in this data protection declaration.

If you file an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can prove compelling grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If your personal data is used for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the use of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes.

Responsible body

The responsible body for data processing on this website can be found in the legal notice. The responsible body is the natural or legal person who alone or together with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing procedures are only possible with your consent. We will obtain your express consent beforehand. You can withdraw this consent at any time. All you need to do is send an informal message by email to info (at) melitta-group.com. The legitimacy of the data processing procedures carried out up to the withdrawal of consent remains unaffected by the withdrawal of consent.

Statutory data protection officer

We are legally obliged to appoint a data protection officer and have appointed one. The contact details of our data protection officer can be found in the legal notice.

Right of complaint to the competent supervisory authority

Visitors to the website are informed that they have a right of complaint to the responsible supervisory authority in the event of data protection infringements. The responsible supervisory authority for data protection issues is the data protection commissioner of the federal state in which our company has its headquarters. A list of data protection commissioners and their contact details can be found by clicking on the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, handed over to you or to another responsible person in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible person, 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 requests you send to us as a site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line in the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in the browser address bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, blocking, deletion

You have the right to information free of charge regarding the personal data stored about you, its origin and recipients, the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data at any time in accordance with the applicable legal requirements. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice if you have any further questions on the subject of personal data.

Objection to advertising mailings

We herewith object to the use of contact data published in our legal notice for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information, such as spam emails.

Changes to this data protection declaration

We reserve the right to change these data protection regulations at any time in compliance with legal requirements.

II. Data collection on our website

Cookies

Some of the Internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the use of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain purposes or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. When cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit our website.

Cookies, which are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you require (e.g. shopping basket function), are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimal provision of their services. As far as other cookies (e.g. cookies for the analysis of your surfing behaviour) are stored, these will be treated separately in this data protection declaration.

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 combined with other data sources. We reserve the right to check the data subsequently if we become aware of any evidence of illegal use. This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a justified interest in the technically error-free and optimal presentation of the website - for this purpose the server log files must be recorded.

Contact form

If you send us enquiries using the contact form or by telephone, we will store your details, including the contact data you have provided, for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The data provided in the contact form will be processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal email. The legitimacy of the data processing procedures carried out up to the withdrawal of consent remains unaffected by the withdrawal of consent.

The data you provide in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, until you withdraw your consent to its storage or until the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

Online Application

Processing of applicant data

We shall process the personal data of an applicant (applicant data) for the purpose of conducting our application procedure and, if the application is successful, for the purpose of establishing and carrying out the future employment relationship. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 26 of the revised German Data Protection Act (“BDSG-neu”) pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b) for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

The applicant data are used by the respective company/companies of the Melitta Group to which the applicant has directed the application or for which they have given their consent to forward the data. In this context, the applicant data may possibly be used to make contact via telephone or electronic means (e.g. e-mail). We expressly do not collect or request any data relating to special categories pursuant to Art. 9 GDPR (1) (e.g. religious beliefs or ethnic origin). Should we cooperate with a service provider for the advertised position, the applicant data may also be processed by this service provider. The application procedure is managed internally by Melitta Business Service Center GmbH & Co. KG, Minden.

Further processors:

Net at Work GmbH
Am Hoppenhof 32 A
33104 Paderborn

4brands Reply GmbH & Co. KG
Bartholomäusweg 26
33334 Gütersloh

HATTINGER BÜRO GmbH
Personal- und Organisationsentwicklung
Friedrichstr. 5
45525 Hattingen

On completion of the application procedure, the applicant data will be deleted unless a legal retention period (e.g. AGG, BGB, SGB) requires longer storage or the applicant has given his/her consent for longer storage. For reasons of self-protection with regard to the requirements of the German General Act on Equal Treatment (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz - AGG), applicant data is always kept for at least twelve months after receipt.

Insofar as we process the applicant data on the basis of consent given, the applicant can revoke this consent in written form (e.g. by sending a corresponding e-mail to the designated processing party) at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until such revocation is received remains unaffected.
