We are committed to your data protection.
We appreciate your interest in our company and our services, and hope that you can feel safe with regard to protection of your personal data while visiting our Internet site. This is because we take protection of your personal data very seriously. Observation of the regulations issued by the German Federal Data Protection Act is a matter of course for us.
We would like you to know which data we record at which time, and how we use it.
Personal data
Personal data is information about your identity. This include information such as name, address, telephone number, e-mail address etc. It is not necessary for you to publicise personal data for the use of our Internet site. In certain cases (e.g.:. enquiries using the contact form, online applications) we do, however, need to know your name and address in addition to other information so that we can provide the required services or answer your query correctly.
The same goes, for example, for sending information material and answering individual questions. Furthermore, we only save and process data which you voluntarily or automatically provide us with.
Insofar as you use our services, we normally only record such data as is required for provision of the services. If we should ask you for additional data this is considered voluntary information. The processing of personal data takes place exclusively for fulfilment of the services required and for protection of our own legitimate business interests.
Intended purpose of personal data
In general, we use the personal data provided by yourself in order to answer your questions, to process your orders or to provide you with access to certain information or offers.
Use for specific purposes
We will only record and process and use the personal data you provided online for the purposes we inform you about, and will not pass on any of your personal data to third parties without your specific agreement.
Recording of personal data and its transmission to state institutions and authorities entitled to receive information only takes place within the context of the relevant laws or if we are obliged to do so by a legal judgement. Our staff and the service providers appointed by us are obliged to maintain confidentiality and to comply with the regulations contained in the German Federal Data Protection Act.
Non-personal data which is automatically recorded
For organisational and technical reasons, the following data will be saved when you use our Internet site: the name of the page you called up, the browser used, the operating system, date and time of access, search machines used, names of files downloaded and your IP address.
We evaluate this technical data anonymously and only for statistical purposes so that we can continuously improve our Internet site and design our Internet offers even more attractively. This anonymous data is saved separated from your personal information on secured systems and does not allow any conclusions to be made about individual persons. This means that your personal data and your privacy are protected at all times.
Cookies
If you visit one of our websites, it is possible that we will save information in the form of a cookie on your computer. Cookies are small text files which are sent from a web server to your browser and then saved on your computer hard disk.
In doing so, absolutely no personal user data is saved, only the Internet protocol address. This information is used to automatically recognise you on your next visit to our websites and to make your navigation easier. For example, cookies allow us to adapt a website to your interests or to save your password so that you do not need to re-enter it every time you visit.
It is, of course, possible for you to visit our website without cookies. If you do not want us to recognise your computer on your next visit, you can prevent the saving of cookies on your hard disk by selecting "Do not accept cookies" in your browser settings. Please refer to your browser manufacturer's instructions to find out how this works in your case. If you do not accept cookies, this can lead to restricted functions in our websites.
Children
Children aged less than 18 years should not transmit any personal data to us without the agreement of their parents or guardians. We do not ask for personal data from children and young people, do not collect it and do not pass it to third parties.
Security
We have taken technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data from loss, destruction, manipulation and unauthorised access.
All our staff and all third parties participating in data processing are obliged to comply with the German Federal Data Protection Act and to ensure confidential handling of personal data.
If we record and process personal data, the information is transmitted in encrypted form in order to prevent misuse of the data by third parties. Our safety measures are continuously being revised in accordance with technological development.
Changes to our data protection regulations
We reserve the right to change our security and data protection measures insofar as this is made necessary by technical developments. In such cases, we will also make changes to our data protection information accordingly. Please therefore ensure that you have read the current version of our data protection declaration.
Links
If you use external links which are made available in the context of our Internet sites, this data protection declaration does not apply to such links. If we offer links, we do try hard to ensure that these also comply with our data protection and security standards. We do not, however, have any influence on compliance with data protection and security regulations by other providers. For this reason you should inform yourself about the data protection declarations made available on Internet sites provided by other parties.
Right of access
You can be given access to the data we have saved about you at any time. Furthermore, you can also make further queries about our data protection declaration at this point. You can retract permission to record and save your personal data at any time. If necessary, please write to us at TAS AG, - Datenschutz -, Kohlgartenstr. 13, 04315 Leipzig.
Information on data protection for online applications
In order to process your online application we will record, process and use personal data. Your online application data will be transmitted directly to our personnel department by mail and, of course, treated confidentially. Suitable technical and organisational measures ensure that your personal data will be treated confidentially within the statutory regulations.
When filling out your online application, please note that the data will be transmitted unencrypted via e-mail, and that the data can therefore be read or even falsified by unauthorised persons under certain circumstances.
We would also be pleased to receive your documentation by post.
If you have applied for a specific position and this has already been awarded to another person, or if we consider you equally or more suitable for another position, we would be pleased to pass your application on within our own company.
Please inform us in advance if you are not in agreement with this procedure.
After termination of the application process, at the latest after 12 months, your personal data will automatically be deleted unless you explicitly agree to its saving over a longer period. You can retract your agreement on this point at any time. A brief e-mail to Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist gegen Spambots geschützt! JavaScript muss aktiviert werden, damit sie angezeigt werden kann. is sufficient.
Note:
Data from the contact form and the online application form will not be transmitted encrypted. It is therefore possible that third parties can read and possibly falsify this data.
