2. General Notes and compulsory Information

 

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.

 

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose.

 

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.

 

The responsible party for data processing on this website is

 

Metropolitan Trends GmbH, represented by the managing director Mr. Enis Ramadanovski or Mrs. Jasmina Arifoska

 

Address: Brook 5, 20457 Hamburg

Phone: +49 (0) 40 32518533

e-mail: info@metro-trends.de

 

Responsible body is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

 

We have not appointed a data protection officer for our company.

 

As a person affected by data processing, you have the following rights:

 

Revocation of your consent to data processing (Art. 7 Para. 3 DSGVO)

 

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any consent already given at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal message by e-mail. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. The revocation applies from the time of its assertion. In other words, it is effective for the future.

 

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 DSGVO)

 

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6 paragraph 1 letter e or f of the DPA, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this data protection declaration. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling reasons for processing which are worthy of protection and which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection in accordance with Art. 21 Par. 1 DSGVO).

 

If your personal data are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing, including profiling, insofar as it is connected with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection under Art. 21 para. 2 DSGVO).

 

Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority (Art. 77 DSGVO)

 

In the case of infringements of the DPAs, the persons concerned have a right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the suspected infringement. This right of appeal is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

 

Right to data transferability (Art. 20 DSGVO)

 

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only take place to the extent that it is technically feasible.

 

Information, blocking, deletion and correction (Art. 15, 16 and 17 DSGVO)

 

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correct, block or delete this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given above for this purpose and for further questions on the subject of personal data.

 

Right to restrict processing (Art. 18 DSGVO)

 

You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. To do so, you can contact us at any time at the address given above. The right to limit the processing of your personal data exists in the following cases:

 

– If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we will usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

– If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can demand the restriction of the data processing instead of deletion.

– If we no longer need your personal data, but you do need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to demand restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

– If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 Paragraph 1 DSGVO, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

 

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from being stored – may only be processed with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

 

Prohibition of automated decisions/profiling (Art. 22 DSGVO)

 

Decisions that have legal consequences for you or significantly affect you must not be based solely on automated processing of personal data, including profiling. We inform you that we do not use automated decision making, including profiling, with respect to your personal data.

 

Objection to promotional e-mails

 

We hereby object to the use of contact data published in the context of the imprint obligation to send advertising and information material not expressly requested. The operators of the website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, e.g. via spam e-mails.

 

SSL or TLS encryption

 

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

 

 

3. Data Collection on our Website

 

Cookies

 

Some of the Internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and safer. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

 

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit.

 

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

 

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process or for provision (technically necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 letter f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of his services. Cookies that are not technically necessary (e.g. cookies for analysing your surfing behaviour) are only stored if you give your consent to this. Further information on the respective cookies used by us can be found below.

 

Server log files

 

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

 

– Browser type and browser version

– Operating system used

– Referrer URL

– Host name of the accessing computer

– Time of the server request

– IP address

 

This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 letter b DSGVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. Your IP address is recorded in full in the log files. Temporary storage of your IP address by the system is necessary in order to be able to deliver our website to a user’s end device. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored at least for the duration of the session.

 

Contact form

 

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

 

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal message by e-mail. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

 

The data entered by you in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage or the purpose for which it was stored ceases to apply (e.g. after your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

 

Enquiry by e-mail, telephone or fax

 

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your enquiry including all personal data (name, enquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

 

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, insofar as your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) and / or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us.

 

The data you send us by contact request will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent for storage or the purpose for which the data was stored ceases to apply (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

 

Processing of data (customer and contract data)

 

We collect, process and use personal data only to the extent that they are necessary for the establishment, content or modification of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 letter b DSGVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process and use personal data on the use of our Internet pages (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable or charge the user for the use of the service.

 

The collected customer data will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.

5. Own Services

 

Applications

 

We offer you the opportunity to apply for a job with us (e.g. by e-mail, by post or via online application form). In the following we will inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data will be in accordance with the applicable data protection laws and all other legal requirements and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.

 

Scope and purpose of data collection

 

If you send us a job application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.) to the extent that this is necessary to make a decision on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG-neu (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO (general contract initiation) and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. Consent may be revoked at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be passed on to persons involved in processing your application.

 

Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 Para. 1 DSGVO (e.g. health data, such as severely disabled status or ethnic origin) are requested and processed within the application procedure, their processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. b. DSGVO, in the case of the protection of vital interests of applicants or other persons in accordance with Art. 9 paragraph 2 letter c. DSGVO or for the purposes of health care or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the employee’s ability to work, for medical diagnosis, for care or treatment in the health or social sector or for the management of systems and services in the health or social sector in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h. DSGVO.

 

If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of the above-mentioned regulations for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

 

Storage period of the data

 

If we are unable to offer you a job, if you reject a job offer, withdraw your application, revoke your consent to data processing or request us to delete the data, the data you provide, including any remaining physical application documents, will be stored or retained for a maximum of 6 months after completion of the application process (retention period) in order to be able to trace the details of the application process in the event of discrepancies.

 

YOU MAY OBJECT TO THIS STORAGE IF YOU HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS THAT OUTWEIGH OUR OWN.

 

After expiry of the retention period, the data will be deleted, unless there is a legal obligation to retain the data or any other legal reason for further storage. If it is evident that the storage of your data will be necessary after the end of the storage period (e.g. due to an imminent or pending legal dispute), the data will only be deleted when it has become irrelevant. Other statutory storage obligations remain unaffected.

 

We reserve the right to adapt this data protection declaration from time to time so that it always meets current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the data protection declaration, e.g. when introducing new services. The new data protection declaration then applies to your renewed visit.
