Aims of, and legal basis for, the processing of personal data
The purpose of the data processing is to fulfil the official responsibilities assigned to us by the legislature – in particular to inform the public.
Unless otherwise stated, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is derived from Art. 4 para. 1 of the Bavarian Data Protection Act (BayDSG) in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 subpara. 1 (e) of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), in accordance with which we are permitted to process data to the extent necessary to meet our obligations.
Recipients of personal data
Our data processing systems are operated by the Leibniz-Rechenzentrum (LRZ), Boltzmannstraße 1, 85748 Garching.
If necessary, your data will be transferred to supervisory and/or auditing authorities for checking.
In the event of electronic transmission, and in order to avert IT security risks, data may be forwarded to the State Office for IT Security and processed there on the basis of Art. 12 ff. of the Bavarian E-Government Act.
Duration of storage of personal data
Your data will be stored only for as long as is necessary for the fulfilment of our responsibilities in compliance with legal retention periods.
Your rights
Insofar as we process your personal data, you have the following rights:
  • You have the right to information about the data stored about you (Art. 15 GDPR).
  • Should your personal data be inaccurate, you have the right to have it corrected (Art. 16 GDPR).
  • If the legal requirements are met, you can request the deletion of your data or the restriction of processing (Art. 17 and 18 GDPR).
  • If you have consented to the processing or if a contract for data processing exists and the data processing is carried out using automated procedures, you may have a right to data transferability (Art. 20 GDPR).
  • If you have consented to the processing and the processing is based on this consent, you can revoke your consent at any time with future effect. The legality of the data processing carried out on the basis of consent prior to revocation shall remain unaffected.
If your data is processed exclusively on the basis of Article 6 paragraph 1 letter e or f GDPR (Article 21 paragraph 1 sentence 1 GDPR), you have the right to object at any time, on grounds of your personal circumstances, to the processing of your data.
Right of appeal to the supervisory authorities
You also have the right to complain to the Bavarian State Commissioner for Data Protection at:

B) Information about this website
Technical implementation
Our web server is operated by Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co. KG, Königsberger Straße 4-6, 32339 Espelkamp, Germany, who therefore process on our behalf the personal data you provide when visiting our website.
Logging
When you access this or other pages of our website, you transmit data to our web server via your Internet browser. During an ongoing connection for communication between your Internet browser and our web server, the following data are recorded:
  • IP address of the user
  • Directory protection user
  • Date
  • Time
  • Pages accessed
  • Protocols
  • Status code
  • Data volume
  • Speaker
  • User Agent
  • Host name
IP addresses are anonymised at domain level so that they cannot be linked to individual users. Anonymised IP addresses are kept for sixty days. Information on the directory protection user is anonymised after one day.
Error logs, which record incorrect page views, are deleted after seven days. In addition to the error messages, these logs contain the accessing IP address and, depending on the error, the website accessed.
Access via FTP is logged with anonymised information on username and IP address and kept for sixty days.
The mail logs for sending e-mails from the web environment are anonymised after one day and then retained for sixty days. During anonymisation, all data regarding the sender/recipient etc. is removed. Only data on the time of sending and information on how the e-mail was processed (queue ID or not sent) are retained.
Mail logs for mail sent via our mail servers are deleted after four weeks. The longer retention period is necessary to ensure the functionality of mail services and prevent spam.
Active components
We use active components such as Javascript, Java Applets and Active-X-Controls. This function can be switched off by adjusting your browser settings.
Cookies
When you access this website, we store cookies (small files) on your device, which are valid for the duration of your visit (“session cookies”). We use these cookies only during your visit to our website. Most browsers are set to accept the use of cookies. This function can, however, be deactivated temporarily or permanently by adjusting your browser settings. At the end of your visit, your browser will automatically delete these cookies.
Integration of YouTube videos and social plugins
When you visit our website, additional services from YouTube and social plugins (e.g. LinkedIn) are offered via a two-click process. When the website is first accessed, no data are transmitted to the operators. Only after users have agreed to the LinkedIn logo by clicking on it in the opt-in procedure will data (including the URL of the page you are on and your IP address) be transmitted to the operator, including for subsequent visits. As a user, you can therefore decide for yourself whether to use these services and whether your data are transferred. You can revoke this consent at any time and stop further data transmission to the operators by clicking on the relevant link on the homepage (opt-in procedure).
Integration of YouTube videos
Videos from the external video platform YouTube are integrated on our website. By default, only deactivated images, which do not establish an automated connection with YouTube’s servers, are embedded from YouTube. This means that the operator does not receive any data from the user when the user accesses the websites.
You can decide for yourself whether to activate YouTube videos. Only when you approve the playing of videos by clicking on “Permanent activation” do you give your consent for your data (including the Internet address of the page you are on and your IP address) to be transmitted to the operator.
In order to save the settings you request, we will create a cookie that stores parameters. However, when these cookies are set, no personal data are stored by us; they contain only anonymised data for browser adjustment. The videos are then active and you can play them. If you wish to deactivate the automatic loading of YouTube videos, you can untick the consent box under the data protection symbol. This will also update your cookie settings.
YouTube is a service provided by YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, a subsidiary of Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountainview, California 94043, USA. For more information on the purpose and scope of data processing (including outside the EU and the US) and information on options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the data protection statement at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de. Google processes your personal data in the US (and elsewhere) and has therefore complied with the EU-US Privacy Shield.
Integration of Google Maps
We integrate Google Maps in such a way that data are not automatically sent to Google. On our events page there is a link to Google Maps. If you click on the Google Maps logo, a new browser window will open and you will find the venue on a Google map.
Evaluation of user behaviour (web tracking systems; coverage measurement)
Use of Matomo (formerly PIWIK)
To design our website in line with requirements, we use the Matomo works analysis tool to evaluate user behaviour. Your IP address is first anonymised and then evaluated by us. You can deactivate this function by adjusting your browser settings.
You can decide whether a unique web analysis cookie can be stored in your browser to enable the operator of the website to collect and analyse various statistical data.
To opt out, click the following link to place the Matomo deactivation cookie in your browser.

C) Information on processing operations
Applications
If you send us application documents, we will use this personal data solely to meet your wishes and requirements and to process your application. Personal data will be shared only within the bidt, only with persons involved in the application process and only as part of the application process.
We will use and store your data only as long as is strictly necessary for the processing of your application. Our right to use data to establish an employment relationship is based on Art. 6 para. 1 para. 1 (b) GDPR. As part of the application procedure, we also process special categories of personal data. The legal basis for this is Art. 9 para. 2 (b) and (h) GDPR, Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR and Art. 8 para. 1 sentence 1 nos. 2 and 3 BayDSG. Applicant data will be deleted at the end of the procedure (i.e. six months after the acceptance or rejection of the application). We comply with the time limits for bringing an action before the employment courts, as we always have to consider the possibility of impending proceedings.
Newsletter, requesting publications
You can have our regular newsletter sent to you. Your e-mail address will be stored for the purpose of sending the newsletter and will be processed solely for that purpose.
You can stop receiving the newsletter at any time by e-mailing info@bidt.digital or by simply clicking on the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. Your e-mail address will then be deleted from the newsletter distribution list.
At present, we do not use a contractor for the administration and dispatch of newsletters. This is done by us in-house.
Event management
You can register for events via our website, in which case the legitimacy of our data processing is based on Art. 6 Par. 1 (b) and (e) GDPR. We will use your data solely for the purpose of the event and will not share it with any third parties. However, we may be obliged by law to disclose your data to third parties (e.g. as part of an inspection process).
Unless you have agreed to further contact, we will hold your data only to the extent legally permitted.
For registration for bidt events, we have commissioned contractors to process your data solely in accordance with our instructions and not for their own purposes. We currently use the following contractor for event management:
  • eveeno, Andreas Bothe, Ellenbogen 8, D-91056 Erlangen. eveeno is an event management platform that enables event organisers to organise events and sell tickets.

Processing of (personal) data by the operator of the recruitment website

General information

This recruitment website is operated by Personio SE & Co. KG, which offers a human resource and candidate management software solution (https://www.personio.com/legal-notice/). Data transmitted as part of your application will be transferred using TLS encryption and stored in a database. The sole controller of this data within the meaning of article 24 of the GDPR is the enterprise carrying out this online application process. Personio’s role is limited to operating the software and this recruitment website and, in this context, being a processor under article 28 of the GDPR. In this case, the processing by Personio is based on an agreement for the processing of orders between the controller and Personio. In addition, Personio SE & Co. KG processes further data, some of which may be personal data, to provide its services, in particular for operating this recruitment website. We will refer to this in more detail below.

The controller

The controller under data protection law is:
Personio SE & Co. KG
Seidlstraße 3
80335 München
Tel.: +49 (89) 1250 1004
Entry in the commercial register
Commercial register entry number: HRA 115934
Registration Court: Amtsgericht München
Data Protection Officer contact: privacy@personio.com

Access logs (“server logs”)

Each access to this recruitment website automatically causes general protocol data, so-called server logs, to be collected. As a rule, this data is a pseudonym and thus does not allow for inferences about the identity of an individual. Without this data, it would, in some cases, be technically impossible to deliver or display the contents of the software. In addition, processing this data is absolutely necessary under security aspects, in particular for access, input, transfer, and storage control. Furthermore, this anonymous information can be used for statistical purposes and for optimizing services and technology. In addition, the log files can be checked and analyzed retrospectively when unlawful use of the software is suspected. The legal basis for this is §25 subsection 2 Sentence 2 TDDDG. Generally, data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp of the access to the software is collected. The scope of this log process does not exceed the common log scope of any other site on the web. These access logs are stored for a period of up to 7 days. There is no right to object to this.

Error logs

So-called error logs are generated for the purpose of identifying and fixing bugs. This is absolutely necessary to ensure we can react as quickly as possible to possible problems with displaying and implementing content (legitimate interest). As a rule, this data is a pseudonym and thus does not allow for inferences about the identity of an individual. The legal basis for this is §25 subsection 2 Sentence 2 TDDDG. When an error message occurs, general data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp upon occurrence of the respective error message and/or specification is collected. These error logs are stored for a period of up to 7 days. There is no right to object to this.

Use of cookies

So-called cookies are used on parts of this recruitment website. They are small text files which are stored on the device with which you access this recruitment website. As a general rule, cookies serve the purpose of ensuring secure access to a website (“absolutely necessary”), implementing certain functionalities such as standard-language settings (“functional”), improving the user experience or the performance of the website (“performance”), or placing targeted advertisements (“marketing”). On this recruitment website, we generally use only cookies that are absolutely necessary, functional or performance-related, in particular for implementing certain default settings such as language, for identifying the job advertising channel, or for analyzing the performance of a job advert via which a user accessed this recruitment website. The use of cookies is absolutely necessary for providing our services and thus for the performance of the contract (article 6 (1) b) of the GDPR). Period of storage: up to 1 month or until the end of the browser session Right to object: You can determine via your browser settings whether you allow or object to the use of cookies. Please note that deactivating cookies may result in limited or completely blocked functionalities of this recruitment website.

Rights of data subjects

If Personio SE & Co. KG as the controller processes personal data, you as the data subject have certain rights under Chapter III of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), depending on the legal basis and the purpose of the processing, in particular the right of access (article 15 of the GDPR) and the rights to rectification (article 16 of the GDPR), erasure (article 17 of the GDPR), restriction of processing (article 18 of the GDPR), and data portability (article 20 of the GDPR), as well as the right to object (article 21 of the GDPR). If the personal data is processed with your consent, you have the right to withdraw this consent under article 7 III of the GDPR. To assert your rights as a data subject in relation to the data processed for the purpose of operating this recruitment website, please refer to Personio SE & Co. KG’s Data Protection Officer (see item B).

Concluding provisions

Personio reserves the right to adjust this data privacy statement at any point in time to ensure that it is in line with the current legal requirements at all times, or in order to accommodate changes in the services offered, for example when new services are introduced. In this case, the new data privacy statement applies to any later visit of this recruitment website or any later job application.
