I. General Information

This section of the privacy statement contains information on the scope of validity, the person responsible for data processing, the data protection officer and data security. It also begins with a list of definitions of important terms used in the data privacy statement.

1. Definition of main terms

Browser: Computer program used to display websites (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari)

Cookies: Text files which the web server places on the user's computer by means of the browser which is used. The stored cookie information may contain both an identifier (cookie ID) for recognition purposes and content data, such as login status or information about websites visited. The browser sends the cookie information back to the web server with each new request upon subsequent repeat visits to these sites. Most browsers accept cookies automatically. Cookies can be managed using the browser functions (usually under "Options" or "Settings"). The storage of cookies may be disabled in this way or it may be made dependent on the user’s approval in any given case or otherwise restricted. Cookies may also be deleted at any time.

Third countries: Countries outside the European Union (EU)

GDPR: Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation), available at http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex%3A32016R0679

Personal data: Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Profiling: Any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

Services: Our offers to which this data privacy statement applies (cf. Scope of validity).

Tracking: The collection of data and their evaluation regarding the behaviour of visitors in response to our services.

Tracking technologies: Actions can be tracked either via the activity records (log files) stored on our web servers or by collecting data from end devices via pixels, cookies or similar tracking technologies.

Processing: Any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

Pixel: Pixels are also called tracking pixels, web beacons or web bugs. These are small, invisible graphics in HTML emails or on websites. When a document is opened, this small image is downloaded from a server on the Internet and the download is registered there. This allows the operator of the server to see if and when an email has been opened or a website has been visited. This function is usually carried out by calling up a small program (JavaScript). Certain types of information can be detected on your computer system in this way and shared, such as the content of cookies, the time and date of the visit, and a description of the page on which the tracking pixel is located.

2. Scope of validity

This data privacy statement applies to the following offers:

- our website Burda Corporate Website, most notably available at www.burda.com

- whenever reference is made to this data privacy statement from one of our offers (e.g., websites, subdomains, mobile applications, web services or integrations in third-party websites), regardless of the way in which it is accessed or used

All these offers are also collectively referred to as "services".

3. Controller

The following party is responsible for the processing of data in relation to the services, i.e., this is the person who determines the purposes and means of processing personal data:

Hubert Burda Media Holding Kommanditgesellschaft
Arabellastraße 23
81925 Munich, Germany

4. Data protection officer

Our data protection officer can be contacted under the data given in paragraph 3, for the attention of the data privacy department or via

Emailhbm@datenschutzanfrage.de

Phone: +49 (89) 9250 3252

II. ltemisation of data processing operations

This section of the data privacy statement contains detailed information about the processing of personal data in the context of our services. The information is subdivided for greater clarity into certain functions in connection with our services. In case of the normal use of the services, different functions and therefore also different processing operations can be implemented consecutively or simultaneously.

1. General information about the data processing operations

The following applies to all the processing operations listed below, unless stated otherwise:

a. No obligation to provide personal data & consequences of failure to provide such data

The provision of personal data is not required by law or contract, and you are under no obligation to provide any data. We will inform you during the data entry process when personal information needs to be provided for the relevant service (e.g., by indicating "mandatory fields"). In cases where the provision of data is required, the consequence of not providing data will be that the service in question cannot be provided. Otherwise, failure to provide data may result in our inability to provide our services in the same form and quality.

Online application portal: If you do not provide the data required, you will not be able to submit an online application. All other information is voluntary and has no effect on the selection of applicants.

b. Consent

In various cases, you may also grant us your consent to the further processing of data (or some of the data, where applicable) in connection with the operations listed below. In this case, we will inform you separately in connection with the submission of the respective declaration of consent about all the procedures and the scope of the consent and about the purposes which we pursue in these processing operations. The processing operations based on your consent are therefore not listed again here (Art. 13, subs. 4, GDPR).

c. Transfer of personal data to third countries

When we send data to third countries, i.e., countries outside the European Union, the data are then transmitted strictly in compliance with the statutory conditions of admissibility.

If the transmission of the data to a third country does not serve the purpose of fulfilling our contract with you, if we do not have your consent, if the transmission is not required for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, and if no other exemption applies under Art. 49 GDPR, we will only transmit your data to a third country if in possession of an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR or appropriate safeguards under Art. 46 GDPR.

One of these adequacy decisions is the Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1250 of 12.07.2016 on the "EU-US Privacy Shield" for the USA. The level of data protection is generally considered to be appropriate according to Art. 45 GDPR for transfers to companies which are certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield.

Alternatively or additionally, safeguards under Art. 46 subs. 2 c) GDPR through the conclusion of the EU standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission with the receiving body provide appropriate safeguards and an adequate level of data protection. Copies of the standard EU data protection clauses are available on the website of the European Commission at https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/model-contracts-transfer-personal-data-third-countries_en.

d. Hosting at external service providers

Our data processing work is carried out to a large extent with the involvement of hosting service providers who provide us with storage space and processing capacities at their data centres and who also process personal data on our behalf according to our instructions. It may be the case that personal data are transmitted to hosting service providers in respect of all of the functions listed below. These service providers process data either exclusively in the EU or subject to guaranteed levels of data protection which we have put in place based on the standard EU data protection clauses (cf. subsection c.).

e. Transmission to government authorities

We send personal information to government authorities (including law enforcement agencies) when required to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject (legal basis: Art. 6, subs. 1 c), GDPR) or when it is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims (legal basis: Art. 6, subs. 1 f), GDPR).

f. Period of storage

The time specified in the "period of storage" paragraph indicates how long we use the data for the purposes in any given case. At the end of this period, the data will no longer be processed by us but will be deleted at regular intervals, unless continued processing and storage are required by law (in particular, because it is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims) or unless you grant us extended consent.

Online application portal: To ensure the application process is conducted proficiently, we require a reasonable time to evaluate applications, select applicants, conduct interviews, etc. You will be informed of the status of the application procedure via letters of confirmation that we will send by email.

Should an employment relationship be established, we are permitted to store your data on a longer-term basis in accordance with Art. 6, subs. 1 b) GDPR.

g. Data categories

The category names listed below are used for specific types of data in the following sections:

  • Account data: Login/user ID and password
  • Personal master data: Title, salutation/gender, forename, surname, date of birth
  • Adress data: Street, house number, additional address lines (where applicable), postcode, city, country

3. Newsletter subscriptions

In addition to using our website for purely informational purposes, you have the option to subscribe to our newsletters. If you subscribe to one of our free newsletters, we will send you regular updates on developments in the world of Burda.

When you subscribe to the newsletter, you will receive an additional confirmation message containing a final registration link (“double opt-in process”). This ensures that the newsletter has been requested by you and not by a third party. When you subscribe, your data will initially be stored on our servers or on the servers of the service provider used. A confirmation message containing a final registration link will be generated and sent to the specified email address. If you do not confirm registration using the link in this email, the data will be deleted after 30 days. Your data will only be permanently saved for the purpose of sending the newsletter if you use the confirmation link. If you no longer agree to your data being stored for this purpose and no longer wish to use our service, you can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. You can do this using the link included in every newsletter.

We would like to make you aware that your interactions with the newsletter will be measured (“opening and click-through behaviour”). To perform this measurement, the emails sent contain tracking pixels or relevant links that can be used to measure the opening and click-through rates within the newsletter, allowing us to optimise our future newsletters. On the basis of your consent, we may also connect the click-through behaviour with an individual ID in order to assign your clicks specifically to you. This is used to personalise the newsletter and tailor it to your interests.

Here we explain the situations in which, when you use our services, your personal data will be processed to analyse the use of our services, and when tracking technologies will be used to track and analyse user behaviour, for example to show you tailored advertising.

Hubert Burda Media Holding Kommanditgesellschaft participates in the IAB Europe Transparency & Consent Framework and complies with its specifications and guidelines. Hubert Burda Media Holding Kommanditgesellschaft uses the Consent Management Platform with identification number 3.

In doing so, we pursue the legitimate interests of:

  • Reviewing and optimising our services, adapting them to the needs of users and rectifying errors.
  • Determining statistical values on the use of our services (reach, intensity of use, user surfing behaviour) – based on standardised procedures – and thus obtaining values that can be compared with the market as a whole to enable optimal marketing of our services.

We configure our websites in such a way that data is only transferred if you interact with the relevant embedded content (e.g. Like button or video).
