III. General Information on Data Processing

1. Scope of the Processing of Personal Data

As a general rule, we collect and use our users’ personal data only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of our users’ personal data generally take place only with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.

2. Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data

Where we obtain the data subject’s consent for processing operations involving personal data, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary to take steps prior to entering into a contract.

Where processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Where processing of personal data is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Where processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

3. Data Erasure and Storage Period

The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may continue beyond this point where this is provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or erased when a statutory retention period expires, unless further storage is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

IV. Provision of the Website and Creation of Log Files

1. Description and Scope of Data Processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing device.

The following data are collected:

Information about the browser type and the version used

The user’s operating system

The user's internet service provider

The user's IP address

Date and time of access

Websites from which the user’s system accesses our website​

Websites accessed by the user’s system via our website​

The data are also stored in the log files of our system. These data are not stored together with other personal data of the user.

2. Legal Basis for Data Processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

3. Purpose of Data Processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary in order to deliver the website to the user’s device. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

The data are stored in log files in order to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serve to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. In this context, the data are not evaluated for marketing purposes.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

4. Duration of Storage

The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of data collected to provide the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

If the data are stored in log files, they will be deleted after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In such cases, the users’ IP addresses are deleted or anonymized so that the accessing client can no longer be assigned.

5. Right to Object and Removal

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files are strictly necessary for operating the website. Therefore, the user has no option to object.

V. Use of Cookies

This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website to their full extent.

VI. Website Analytics Services

1. Description and Scope of Data Processing

We use website analytics services (such as Google Analytics or Adobe Analytics) operated by third-party providers to increase the efficiency of our website. This requires the transfer of data about website visitors to these third-party providers. To protect users’ interests in the protection of their personal data, these data are pseudonymized.

2. Legal Basis for Data Processing

The legal basis for processing personal data using website analytics services is a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

3. Purpose of Data Processing

The analysis tools are used to improve the quality of our website and its content. By using these tools, we learn how the website is used and can therefore continuously optimize our offering.

We use the analysis tools for the following purposes:

1. Identification of reasons for session termination

2. Determining the attractiveness of individual content

3. Determining access paths (direct or via search engine)

4. Evaluating relevant search terms

4. Duration of Storage

The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of stored data, this occurs after 26 months at the latest. However, users’ IP addresses are anonymized so that the accessing client can no longer be assigned.

5. Right to Object and Removal

You can prevent data collection by Google Analytics by clicking the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents future collection of your data when visiting this website:

VII. Newsletter

1. Description and Scope of Data Processing

The newsletter is sent based on the user’s registration on the website.

Users can subscribe to a free newsletter on our website. When registering for the newsletter, the data from the input form are transmitted to us.

The collected data are: email address, form of address, academic title, name, function and areas of interest.

In addition, the following data are collected during registration:

(1) IP address of the accessing computer

(2) Date and time of registration

During the newsletter subscription, we analyze which links are clicked.

By subscribing to the newsletter, the user agrees to this analysis.

During the registration process, consent for the processing of data is obtained and reference is made to this privacy policy.

The data are not passed on to third parties in connection with the processing of data for newsletter distribution. The data are used exclusively for sending the newsletter.

2. Legal Basis for Data Processing

The legal basis for processing the data after the user has registered for the newsletter, where the user has given consent, is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

The analysis of clicked links is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

3. Purpose of Data Processing

The collection of the user’s email address serves to deliver the newsletter.

The collection of other personal data during registration serves to personalize the form of address, adapt the content to the recipient’s interests and prevent misuse of the services or the email address used.

The analysis of clicked links serves to optimize our newsletter for readers and to continuously improve it.

4. Duration of Storage

The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose for which they were collected. The user’s email address is therefore stored as long as the newsletter subscription is active.

5. Right to Object and Removal

The newsletter subscription can be cancelled at any time by the user. A corresponding link is included in every newsletter.

This also enables withdrawal of consent to the storage of personal data collected during the registration process.

VIII. Registration

1. Description and Scope of Data Processing

On our website, we offer users the opportunity to register by providing personal data. The data are entered into an input form, transmitted to us and stored. The data are not passed on to third parties. The following data are collected as part of the registration process:

Job advertisers (employers):

Postal address, telephone number, email address

Form of address, academic title, function and name of the contact person

Job seekers:

Form of address, academic title, name and email address

Function, areas of activity / fields of interest

At the time of registration, the following data are also stored:

(1) The user’s IP address

(2) Date and time of registration

As part of the registration process, the user’s consent to the processing of these data is obtained.

2. Legal Basis for Data Processing

Where the user has given consent, the legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

If the registration serves to perform a contract to which the user is a party or to take steps prior to entering into a contract, the additional legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

3. Purpose of Data Processing

User registration is required in order to provide certain content and services on our website.

For example, registration enables job seekers to publish a job-seeking profile, subscribe to notifications for matching new job offers, save a search profile, or subscribe to the newsletter.

For job advertisers, registration enables, for example, researching suitable job-seeking profiles and subscribing to the newsletter, publishing and extending job postings, etc.

User identification is necessary to prevent manipulation and misuse of personal data.

In part, registration also serves to conclude a contract with the user.

Registration may be necessary to perform a contract with the user or to take steps prior to entering into a contract.

Job advertisers already have the option to conclude a contract on the website in order, for example, to publish a job posting for a fee or to contact job seekers with a matching profile (in anonymized form).

The collected data are required for invoicing purposes. In the future, fee-based services may also be offered to job seekers, which would require the conclusion of a contract.

4. Duration of Storage

The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose for which they were collected.

If the registration does not serve to conclude a contract with the user, the data collected during registration are deleted when the registration on our website is cancelled or modified.

If the registration serves to conclude a contract with the user, the data stored for the performance of the contract or for pre-contractual measures are deleted when the data are no longer required for the performance of the contract. Even after the contract has been concluded, it may be necessary to store personal data of the contracting party in order to comply with contractual or statutory obligations.

Continuing obligations require the storage of personal data for the duration of the contract. In addition, warranty periods must be observed and data must be stored for tax purposes. The applicable retention periods cannot be determined uniformly, but must be assessed on a case-by-case basis for each contract and contracting party.

5. Right to Object and Removal

As a user, you may cancel your registration at any time. You may also have the data stored about you changed at any time.​

To do so, log in with your access data and go to “For Job Seekers” or “For Job Advertisers”, then to the “Overview Page”, and then to “My Access Data”. There you will find an option to delete your personal profile and your account. In addition, you may contact the operator of the website at any time by telephone using the number stated in the legal notice (“Imprint”) and request deletion of your account by phone.

If the registration serves to conclude a contract with the user and the data are required for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, early deletion of the data is only possible insofar as no contractual or statutory obligations prevent deletion.

IX. Contact Form and Email Contact

1. Description and Scope of Data Processing

There is currently no contact form on our website that can be used for electronic contact. Should this be the case at a later point in time and should a user make use of this option, the data entered into the input form will be transmitted to us and stored. These data would then be listed here in detail.

At the time the message is sent, additional data may also be stored, such as:

(1) The user’s IP address

(2) Date and time of registration

During the sending process, your consent to the processing of data is obtained and reference is made to this privacy policy.

Alternatively, you may contact us via the email address provided. In this case, the user’s personal data transmitted with the email will be stored.

The data are not passed on to third parties in this context. The data are used exclusively for processing the communication.

2. Legal Basis for Data Processing

Where the user has given consent, the legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

The legal basis for processing data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If the email contact aims at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

3. Purpose of Data Processing

We process personal data from the input form solely for the purpose of handling the contact request. Where contact is made via email, this also constitutes our required legitimate interest in processing the data.

Other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

4. Duration of Storage

The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose for which they were collected. With regard to personal data from the input form and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is deemed ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

The additional personal data collected during the sending process are deleted after seven days at the latest.

5. Right to Object and Removal

The user has the right to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by email, the user may object to the storage of their personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.

After logging in, the user can delete their personal data at any time in the “My Account” section on the page “Delete Personal Data” and thereby simultaneously withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data. Alternatively, the user may send an email requesting deletion to info@Karriere-Jura.de .

All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case.

X. Rights of the Data Subject

If personal data relating to you are processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

1. Right of Access

You may request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data relating to you are being processed by us.

Where such processing exists, you may request access to the following information:

(1) the purposes for which the personal data are processed;

(2) the categories of personal data processed;

(3) the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data relating to you have been or will be disclosed;

(4) the envisaged period for which the personal data relating to you will be stored or, if specific information cannot be provided, the criteria used to determine that period;

(5) the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data relating to you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller, or a right to object to such processing;

(6) the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;

(7) all available information as to the source of the data, where the personal data are not collected from the data subject;

(8) the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Art. 22(1) and (4) GDPR and—at least in such cases—meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

You also have the right to obtain information as to whether personal data relating to you are transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

This right of access may be restricted insofar as it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary for the achievement of those purposes.

2. Right to Rectification

You have the right to obtain rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the personal data processed relating to you are inaccurate or incomplete. The controller shall rectify the data without undue delay.

Your right to rectification may be restricted insofar as it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary for the achievement of those purposes.

3. Right to Restriction of Processing

You may request restriction of the processing of personal data relating to you under the following conditions:

(1) if you contest the accuracy of the personal data relating to you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;

(2) if the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request restriction of their use instead;

(3) if the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you require them for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; or

(4) if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the controller’s legitimate grounds override your grounds.

Where processing of personal data relating to you has been restricted, such data may—apart from being stored—only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

Where restriction of processing has been obtained under the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

Your right to restriction of processing may be restricted insofar as it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary for the achievement of those purposes.

4. Right to Erasure

a) Obligation to Erase

You may request that the controller erase personal data relating to you without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to erase such data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:

(1) The personal data relating to you are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

(2) You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.

(3) You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.

(4) The personal data relating to you have been unlawfully processed.

(5) The personal data relating to you must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

(6) The personal data relating to you have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services pursuant to Art. 8(1) GDPR.

Where the controller has made the personal data relating to you public and is obliged pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR to erase them, the controller shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers processing the personal data that you have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.

c) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:

(1) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;

(2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller; 

(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9(2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9(3) GDPR;

(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in point (a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or

(5) for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

5. Right to Be Informed

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data relating to you have been disclosed of the rectification or erasure of the personal data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

You have the right to be informed about these recipients.

6. Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive the personal data relating to you which you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where:

(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR; and

(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This shall not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data which is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

7. Right to Object

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data relating to you which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on those provisions.

The controller shall no longer process the personal data relating to you unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Where personal data relating to you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data relating to you for such marketing; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data relating to you will no longer be processed for such purposes.

You may exercise your right to object in relation to the use of information society services—notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC—by automated means using technical specifications.

You also have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR.

Ihr Widerspruchsrecht kann insoweit beschränkt werden, als es voraussichtlich die Verwirklichung der Forschungs- oder Statistikzwecke unmöglich macht oder ernsthaft beeinträchtigt und die Beschränkung für die Erfüllung der Forschungs- oder Statistikzwecke notwendig ist.

8. Right to Withdraw Consent Under Data Protection Law

Sie haben das Recht, Ihre datenschutzrechtliche Einwilligungserklärung jederzeit zu widerrufen. Durch den Widerruf der Einwilligung wird die Rechtmäßigkeit der aufgrund der Einwilligung bis zum Widerruf erfolgten Verarbeitung nicht berührt.

9. Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing—including profiling—which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply where the decision:

(1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the controller;

(2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or

(3) is based on your explicit consent.

However, such decisions shall not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR unless Art. 9(2)(a) or (g) applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.

Hinsichtlich der in (1) und (3) genannten Fälle trifft der Verantwortliche angemessene Maßnahmen, um die Rechte und Freiheiten sowie Ihre berechtigten Interessen zu wahren, wozu mindestens das Recht auf Erwirkung des Eingreifens einer Person seitens des Verantwortlichen, auf Darlegung des eigenen Standpunkts und auf Anfechtung der Entscheidung gehört.

10. Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and the outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
