4.1 General information on the legal basis
Where we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation(GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processingof personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as a legal basis in the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person necessitate the processing of personal data.
If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first- mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
4.2 General information on data erasure and storage duration

In addition, the data may bestored if the European or national legislator has provided for this in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. The data shall also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless it is necessary for further storage of the data for the conclusion orperformance of a contract.
4.3 General information on processing on our website
Data protection, data security and secrecy protection have high priority for the ESG Screen17 GmbH (here after referred to as ESG Screen17). The permanent protection of your personal data, your company data and your trade secrets is particularly important to us.
In principle, you can visit our website without providing any personal information. However, if you make use of the services of our company via our website, this requires the disclosure of your personal data. In general, we use the data communicated by you and collected by the website and the data stored during use exclusively for our own purposes, namely for the implementation and provision of our website and for the initiation, implementation and processing of the services offered via the website (contract performance) and do not pass these on to outside third parties, unless there is an officially ordered obligation to do so. In all other cases, we will obtain your separate consent.
Your personal data will be processed in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to ESG Screen17. By means of this data protection note, we would like to inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data processed by us. In addition, we will inform you of your rights by means of this data protection notice.
ESG Screen17 has implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure adequate protection of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can in principle have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.
5. Collection of general data and information
The website of ESG Screen17collects a series of general data and information each time a data subject or an automated system accesses the website. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-sites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website can be recorded, (5) the date and time of an access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similardata and information which serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, ESG Screen17 does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2)
optimize the content and advertising of our website, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information they need to prosecute a cyber-attack. This anonymous data and information is therefore evaluated by ESG Screen17 both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimum level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by the data subject.
Objection / possibility of disposal
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR
(legitimate interest)
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data to provide the website, this is the case when the session in question has ended.
If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. A storage going beyond this is possible. In this case the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.
No, as necessary for operation of the website.
6. Contact form, e-mail, and fax contact
On our website there is a contact form which can be used for electronic contact. If a user makes use of this possibility, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. These data are:
· Name
· Email
· Message
At the time the message is sent, the following data will also be stored:
· The IP address of the user
· Date and time of dispatch
Contact information is also available on our website. It is possible to contact us via the e-mail address or fax number provided. If you contact us via one of these options, your personal data transmitted to us will be automatically stored.
The data will not be passed on to third parties in this context. The data will be used exclusively for the processing of the conversation or the processing of your request.
Objection / possibility of disposal
The legal basis for the processing of the data in the case of enquiries via the contact formand/or e-mail and telephone is generally Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b. GDPR

Art. 6 para. 1lit. c. GDPR (fulfilment of a legal obligation, e.g. answering questions on data protection) and
otherwise Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR
(legitimate interest).
The processing of personal data from the input mask or e-mail and fax serves us solely to process the establishment of contact. This is also the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.
The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail or communicated by telephone, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is terminated when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the relevant facts have been conclusively clarified.
The above does not apply if the correspondence is subject to a retention obligation under commercial law.
The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.
The user has the possibility to object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.
7. Data protection for applicationsand in the application process
We collect and process personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application process. The processing can also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail. If we conclude an employment contract with you as an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the data controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be deleted six months after the rejection decision has been announced, provided that there are no other legitimate interests of the data controller that oppose deletion. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, the duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the German General Act on Equal Treatment (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz – AGG).
Objection / possibility of disposal
The legal basis for the processing of the data in the case of enquiries is usually Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b. GDPR
(Fulfilment of employment contract; Pre-employment contract measures);
Art. 6 para. 1lit. c. GDPR (fulfilment of a legal obligation, e.g. answering questions on the application procedure) and
otherwise Art. 6 para. 1lit. f GDPR
(legitimate interest) and
Special statutory authorisation norms, such as collective agreements, works agreements, incometax laws, etc. It will also refer to the Processing Directory Personnel/HR.
If we conclude an employment contract with you as an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions.
If the controller does not conclude a contract of employment with the candidate, the application file shall be automatically deleted six months after notification of the refusal decision, unless erasure conflicts with any other legitimate interests of the controller.
Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, the duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the German General Act on Equal Treatment (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz– AGG).
Only general possibilities of objection and removal.
