Cookie Policy

Collection and storage of personal data as well as type and purpose of their use

a) When you visit our website

When you visit our website, our web server temporarily evaluates the usage data for statistical purposes in order to improve the quality of our website. This data record comprises

  • the name and the address of the requested content,
  • the date and time of the query,
  • the transmitted data amount,
  • the access status (contents transmitted, content not found),
  • the description of the web browser and the operating system used,
  • the referral link specifying from which site you accessed our site,
  • the IP address of the querying computer, shortened in such a way that it is not possible to reference an individual person.

These listed log data are only evaluated in an anonymous manner.

b) In case of contacting/communication (customers and interested parties)

If you have questions of any kind, you can contact us by e-mail or telephone. This action involves the transmission of at least one valid e-mail-address or your phone number. For communication purposes, we might process other data regarding your person transmitted by you to us.

Data processing for the purpose of contacting us takes place acc. to article 6, section 1a of the GDPR basing on your consent. In the course of a business relationship, we might process the data on the basis of a contract or pre-contractual measures acc. to article 6, section 1b of the GDPR. In individual cases, we process customer and interested party data due to our legitimate interest acc. to article 6, section 1f of the GDPR if and insofar as our interests in regard to this data processing prevail.

The personal data collected by us in the contacting process are generally deleted after your query has been settled. If the personal data of customers or interested persons are subject to a legal requirement of storage (e.g. as part of a contractual relationship), we shall store such data basing on article 6, section 1f of the GDPR until the legal period has expired. In some cases we have a legitimate interest in storing relevant processes (e.g. until the end of the limitation period) and shall save such data until the period expires basing on our legitimate interest acc. to article 6 section 1f of the GDPR.

c) In case of job applications/unsolicited applications

We are always happy to receive your application. Please ensure that you choose a means of transmission that offers sufficient safety. Sending an e-mail without suitable encryption is not recommended because this means of communication enables unauthorized persons to read and use your data without major effort. If you want to send us an encrypted e-mail with your application papers, please use only the e-mail address personalwesen@gabler.wpenginepowered.com.

Data we require:

In the application, we process those of your data that we need for your application. This includes contact data, data in connection with your application (résumé, certificates, qualifications, responses to questions, etc.) and possibly data of your bank account (to reimburse you for travel expenses). The legal basis for this is § 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Law.

Deletion of data:

Unless there is a legal requirement to store data over a specified period, the data will be deleted as soon as storage is no longer necessary and/or the justifiable interest to storage has lapsed. If no employment results, this happens on a regular basis, latest six months after concluding the application process. 

In individual cases, individual data can be stored over a longer period (e.g. travel expenses). The duration of storage then depends on the legal requirements for storage for example in the General Fiscal Law (6 years) or the Commercial Code (10 years).

If we do not hire you but your application is still of interest to us, we will ask for your permission to keep your application for future openings.

Confidential treatment of your data:

Naturally we shall treat your data confidentially and do not transmit them to third parties beyond the Gabler company.

If necessary, we employ service providers strictly bound by instructions who assist us e.g. in the field of IT or in archiving and destruction of documents and with whom we sign specific contracts regarding order processing.
