For instance, U.S. enterprises are under a mandate to release personal data to the security agencies and you as the data subject do not have any litigation options to defend yourself in court.

IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

YouTube with expanded data protection integration

Our website embeds videos of the website YouTube. The website operator is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in the expanded data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video.

Nevertheless, this does not necessarily mean that the sharing of data with YouTube partners can be ruled out as a result of the expanded data protection mode. For instance, regardless of whether you are watching a video, YouTube will always establish a connection with the Google DoubleClick network.

As soon as you start to play a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers will be established. As a result, the YouTube server will be notified, which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account while you visit our site, you enable YouTube to directly allocate your browsing patterns to your personal profile. You have the option to prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, after you have started to play a video, YouTube will be able to place various cookies on your device or comparable technologies for recognition (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way YouTube will be able to obtain information about this website’s visitors. Among other things, this information will be used to generate video statistics with the aim of improving the user friendliness of the site and to prevent attempts to commit fraud.

Under certain circumstances, additional data processing transactions may be triggered after you have started to play a YouTube video, which are beyond our control.

The use of YouTube is based on our interest in presenting our online content in an appealing manner. Pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, this is a legitimate interest. If appropriate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time.

In case Google Maps has been activated, Google has the option to use Google Fonts for the purpose of the uniform depiction of fonts. When you access Google Maps, your browser will load the required web fonts into your browser cache, to correctly display text and fonts.

We use Google Maps to present our online content in an appealing manner and to make the locations disclosed on our website easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest as defined in Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If appropriate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG.

We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data will occur in compliance with the applicable data privacy rights and all other statutory provisions and that your data will always be treated as strictly confidential.

Scope and purpose of the collection of data

If you submit a job application to us, we will process any affiliated personal data (e.g., contact and communications data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.), if they are required to make a decision concerning the establishment or an employment relationship.

Longer storage may also take place if you have given your agreement (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory data retention requirements preclude the deletion

Purpose of the “EQS Integrity Line” whistleblower system and its legal basis

The whistleblower system serves to receive, process and manage reports of violations of the compliance/conduct guidelines of Franz Binder GmbH & Co. Elektronik Bauelemente KG and its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as “Binder”) in a secure and confidential manner. The processing of personal data as part of the whistleblower system is based on binder's legitimate interest in detecting and preventing grievances and thus in averting harm to binder, its employees and its customers. The legal basis for this processing of personal data is Article 6 Para. 1, S. 1 lit. f GDPR. In addition, the use of the whistleblower system or parts of it may be based on a legal obligation of binder (e.g. national implementing laws of the EU Whistleblowing Directive). The legal basis for these cases is Art. 6 Para. 1, S. 1 lit c GDPR in conjunction with the respective legal obligation.

The whistleblower system is operated by a specialized company, EQS Group AG, Hardturmstrasse 11, 8005 Zurich, Switzerland, on behalf of Franz Binder GmbH & Co. Elektronik Bauelemente KG.

Finally, we transfer your personal data to EQS for technical implementation to the extent described above. For this purpose, we have concluded an agreement for order data processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR and Section 80 SGB X to ensure data protection with EQS

Personal data and information entered into the whistleblower system are stored in a database operated by EQS Group AG in a high-security data center. Viewing the data is only possible for binders. EQS Group AG and other third parties have no access to the data. This is guaranteed in the certified process through comprehensive technical and organizational measures.

All data is encrypted and stored with multi-level password protection, so that access is limited to a very narrow group of people expressly authorized by binder.

Type of personal data collected

The use of the whistleblower system is on a voluntary basis. If you submit a report via the whistleblower system, we collect the following personal data and information:

  • Your name, if you disclose your identity,
  • whether you are employed by Binder and
  • If applicable, names of people and other personal data of the people you name in your report.

Duration of storage

We only store personal data for as long as it is necessary to process your notification or for as long as we have a legitimate interest in storing your personal data. Storage can also take place if this has been provided for by European or national legislators in order to fulfill legal obligations, such as retention obligations. All personal data will then be deleted, blocked or anonymized.

Confidential treatment of information

Incoming information is received by a narrow circle of expressly authorized and specially trained binder employees and is always treated confidentially. binder's employees will examine the facts and, if necessary, carry out further case-related clarification of the facts.

As part of processing a report or as part of a special investigation, it may be necessary to pass on information to other binder employees or other employees who are related to binder. The latter may also operate in countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, where different regulations regarding the protection of personal data may exist. We always ensure that the relevant data protection regulations are adhered to when passing on information.

Anyone who has access to the data is obliged to maintain confidentiality.

Information of the accused person

In principle, we are legally obliged to inform the accused persons that we have received a tip about them as soon as this information no longer endangers the follow-up of the tip. Your identity as a whistleblower will not be revealed – to the extent legally permissible.

Use of the whistleblower system

Communication between your computer and the whistleblower system takes place via an encrypted connection (SSL). The IP address of your computer is not stored while using the whistleblower system. To maintain the connection between your computer and the whistleblower system, a cookie is stored on your computer that only contains the session ID. The cookie is only valid until the end of your session and becomes invalid when you close the browser.

You have the option of setting up a protected mailbox in the whistleblower system using a pseudonym/username and password of your own choosing. In this way, you can send reports by name or anonymously and securely to the responsible binder employee. With this system, the data is stored exclusively in the whistleblower system and is therefore particularly secured; it is not an ordinary email communication.

Notes on sending attachments

When submitting a report or sending an addition, you have the option of sending attachments to the responsible binder employee. If you would like to submit a report anonymously, please note the following security warning: Files may contain hidden personal information that jeopardizes your anonymity. Remove this data before sending. If you are unable to remove this data or are unsure, copy the text of your attachment to your report text or send the printed document anonymously to the address listed in the footer, quoting the reference number you receive at the end of the report process.

You can find further information on the type and scope of data processing in the data protection declarations of EQS Group AG. Further rights, setting options and other information on protecting your data can be found at: Data Protection Notice | EQS Group
