The use of the websites of the company CSB System SE (in short: “CSB”) shall be possible in general without providing personal data. Provided that a data subject intends to use particular services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

4. Cookies
The websites of CSB use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows accessed websites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies CSB can provide the users with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The user of a website that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user’s computer system.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies already set may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject disables the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, it can happen that not all functions of our website can be used to the full extent.
5. Collection of general data and information (log files) when using the website
The website of CSB collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. These general data and information are stored in the server log files. The following data may be collected
(1) The browser types and versions used,
(2) The operating system used by the accessing system,
(3) The website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers),
(4) The sub-websites, which are driven via an accessing system on our website,
(5) The date and time of access to the website,
(6) An Internet protocol address (IP address),
(7) The Internet service provider of the accessing system,
(8) Data and information used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information CSB does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to
(1) deliver the content of our website correctly,
(2) optimize the content of our website, as well as carry out advertising and marketing campaigns,
(3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, as well as
(4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the case of a cyber attack.
Therefore, CSB analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal 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 a data subject.
6. Registration on our website, use of contractual services and career portal
You may register in our website by providing personal data and use the services of CSB. The respective input mask used for the registration and in the framework of rendering the services determines the personal data transferred to us.
The personal data entered by the data subject shall be exclusively collected and stored for rendering the contractual services, for advertising and marketing campaigns, as well as for the internal use by the controller responsible for processing and internal purposes. We can initiate the disclosure to one or several processors who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal use to be assigned to us.
Furthermore, by registration in our website
(1) the IP address of the data subject assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP)
(2) the date, as well as
(3) the time of registration is stored.
These data are stored on the basis that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and these data enable the investigation of committed crimes, if necessary. In this respect the storage of these data is necessary for protecting the controller responsible for the processing. As a general rule, these data shall not be disclosed to a third party, unless there is a legal obligation to do so or the disclosure is for prosecution purposes.
The registration of the data subject by the voluntary indication of personal data is for offering the data subject contents or services which may only be offered to registered users due to the nature of things. Registered users shall be free to amend personal data entered into with the registration or have these entirely deleted from our data stock at any time.
The personal data transferred in the framework of an application will be used by CSB exclusively for the processing of the application for the advertised position. Only those persons involved in the application process shall become aware of the data. All staff members entrusted with data processing shall be obliged to keep the data confidential. A profile is created on the applicant portal of CSB when an application is made. The application will be stored there for the term of three years following the application process for other job advertisements. This portal can be accessed by all companies belonging to the CSB Group.
At any time upon request we will inform every data subject about the personal data of the data subject that have been stored. Moreover, we will correct or delete personal data and applicant profiles upon request or information by the data subject, provided that legal retention obligation does not object.
7. Subscription of our newsletter
In our website users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company newsletter. The input mask used for this determines the personal data to be transferred to the controller responsible for processing when the newsletter is ordered. In the context of the registration process the consent of the user for processing the data is obtained and reference is made to this Privacy Statement.
CSB shall inform customers and business partners on a regular basis by means of a newsletter about company offers. As a general rule, data subjects can only receive the company newsletter if
(1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and
(2) the data subject registers for the newsletter dispatch.
Due to legal reasons a one-time confirmation mail will be sent to the data subject’s e-mail address entered for the newsletter dispatch by double opt-in process. This confirmation e-mail shall be for verification that the owner of the e-mail address, as data subject, has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.
Along with the registration to the newsletter we also store
(1) the IP address of the data subject on the computer system used at the time of log-in, which were given by the Internet Service Provider (ISP), as well as
(2) the date and
(3) time of registration.
The collection of these data is necessary to track the (potential) misuse of the data subject’s e-mail address at a later time and shall be for legal protection of the controller responsible for processing.
The personal data collected in line with the newsletter registration shall be used for sending our newsletter and to carry out advertising and marketing campaigns. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter can be informed by e-mail, provided that this is necessary for operating the newsletter service or a registration in this respect. This might be the case if the newsletter offer or technical conditions are changed.
The data subject may cancel the newsletter subscription at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data granted by the data subject for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. To revoke the consent a corresponding link is incorporated in every newsletter. Moreover, there is the possibility to unsubscribe from the newsletter directly in the website of the controller responsible for processing or inform the controller responsible for processing otherwise.
8. Blog
In the context of our blog registered users can enter comments or other posts. Here, your IP address will be stored for seven days. This is for our protection if anyone enters comments or posts of unlawful content (insults, illegal political propaganda, etc.)
The subsequent comments can be subscribed to by the users with their consent. Users will receive a confirmation e-mail to verify that they are the owner of the entered e-mail address. Users may unsubscribe to ongoing comment subscriptions at any time. The confirmation e-mail will contain information on revocation possibilities.
9. Contact possibilities via the website
Due to legal provisions the website of CSB contains information enabling quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us. This also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts us by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller responsible for processing are stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry or contacting the data subject, as well as for carrying out advertising or marketing campaigns.
10. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data
We process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European directive and regulation legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller responsible for processing is subject to.
If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European directive and regulation legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

12. Data protection regulations as to the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)
The controller responsible for processing has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) in this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the acquisition, collection and evaluation of data on the behavior of visitors of websites. A web analysis service collects data from which website the data subject has accessed a website (so-called referrers), which sub-pages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a sub-page was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used for optimizing a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of web marketing.
The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The controller responsible for processing uses the add-on “_gat._anonymizelp” for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this add-on the IP address of the connection to the Internet of the data subject is abbreviated by Google and anonymized, if our websites are accessed by a member state of the European Union or another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is the analysis of the flow of visitors of our website. Google uses inter alia the collected data and information to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us indicating the activities on our websites, and to render further services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics sets a cookie into the IT system of the data subject. The meaning of cookies was already explained above. Via cookies Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Every single access to one of the individual pages of this website which is operated by the controller responsible for processing and into which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser in the IT-system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transfer data to Google for the purpose of an online analysis. In the context of this technical process Google will obtain knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address or the data subject which serve to enable Google to trace the origin of the visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.
By means of the cookie personal information, such as the time of access, the location from which the access was made and the access frequency of our website by the data subject will be stored. Every time our websites are accessed these personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject will be transferred to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. If need be, Google will disclose the personal data collected via the technical process to a third party.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent that Google sets a cookie in the IT system of the data subject. Moreover, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
Moreover, the data subject shall be able to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics, related to the use of this website, as well the processing of these data by Google. For this the data subject must download and install a browser add-on via the link tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data or information as to accesses of websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as an objection. If the IT-system of the data subject is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later stage, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. Provided that the browser add-on has been disabled or deactivated by the data subject or another person to be assigned to his or her sphere of influence, the browser add-on may be reinstalled or reactivated.
Further information and the applicable data protection regulations of Google can be retrieved under www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and
www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics provides detailed information under this link www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

19. Legal bases of processing
Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR shall be the legal basis for processing for which we obtain the consent for a certain processing purpose. If the processing of personal data for the performance of a contract the data subject is party to, as for instance with processing operations required for the supply of goods or rendering another service or return service, processing shall be based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same shall be applicable for processing operations required for the performance of pre-contractual measures, for instance in the case of queries regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, such as the compliance with tax duties, the processing shall be based on Art. 6 I lit. c. GDPR. In rare cases, processing of personal data may become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would for instance be the case if a visitor is injured in our company and as a result his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be forwarded to a physician, hospital or another third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. In the end the processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds are based on this basis if the processing is necessary to protect a vital interest of our company or a third party, unless interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedom of the data subject prevail. We are entitled to such processing operations because they are explicitly mentioned by the European legislator. In this regard the latter’s opinion was that a legitimate interest could be assumed, if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).
20. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party
If the processing or personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest will be the performance of our business activities in favor of the welfare of our staff members and our shareholders.
21. Storage period of personal data
The criterion for the storage period of personal data shall be the respective legal retention period. Upon expiry of the period the respective data shall be routinely deleted, provided that they are no longer necessary for the performance of the contract or contract initiation.
22. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of a non-provision
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly prescribed by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may be a result of contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). From time to time it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data which subsequently must be processed by us. The data subject shall be obliged to provide personal data, if our company enters into a contract with him or her. The non-provision of personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject cannot be concluded. Prior to the provision of personal data by the data subject the latter must contact one of our staff members. Our staff member informs the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is prescribed by law or contract or necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide personal data and what consequences would have to be expected if personal data are not provided.
23. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company we waive automated decision-making or profiling.
1. Google Analytics (with anonymization function)
The controller has integrated Google Analytics (with anonymization) as a component on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the survey, collection, and reporting of data on the behavior of users of websites. A web analytics service collects data, including where data subjects came from (so-called referrers), which subpage of the website they accessed, how often they accessed the subpage, and for how long they stayed on this subpage. Web analytics is primarily used for website optimization and cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
The provider of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
For the web analytics with Google Analytics, the controller uses the suffix “_gat._anonymizeIp”. By using this suffix, the IP address of the internet connection of the data subject is truncated and anonymized if the website is accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state of the European Economic Area.
The objective of the Google Analytics component is the analysis of visitor traffic on the (?) website. Google uses the collected data and information, among others, to evaluate the use of the (?) website to compile online reports showing the activities on the websites, and to provide other services related to the use of the website.
Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The meaning of cookies has been explained above. Setting this cookie enables Google to analyze the traffic on the (?) website. On every call of a webpage on the website operated by the controller on which the Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Google Analytics component automatically causes the web browser on the information technology system of the data subject to transmit data to Google for the purpose of an online analysis. Within the framework of this technical procedure, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses to track the origin and the clicks of the visitors and, as a result, enables Google to bill a commission.
The cookie stores personal information, for example, the time of access, the location, the site where visitors came from, the frequency of the data subject’s visits of the Google website. On every visit of its websites, the personal data including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass the personal data collected by means of this technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject can block the setting of cookies by the Google website, as described above, at any time with a corresponding setup of the web browser used and, in this way, permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such setup of the web browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the web browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject is provided the possibility to object to the collection of data that was generated by Google Analytics and that refers to the use of this website, and to object to, and thereby prevent, the processing of such data by Google. For this purpose, the data subject needs to download and install a browser add-on on the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that the transmission of data and information regarding the number of visits of websites to Google Analytics is not allowed. Google interprets the installation of this browser add-on as an objection. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or reinstalled, the data subject needs to reinstall this browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within the data subject’s area of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Further information and the applicable provisions of the privacy policy of Google is available on www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/
and on www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. For a more detailed explanation of Google Analytics, please refer to the following link:
