1. Video surveillance
A video surveillance system is operated to monitor the company premises. The purpose of the video surveillance of the employee/ company parking spaces, the entrances and exits to the company premises, the forecourt of the dispatch department, the entrances for persons, the factory roads as well as the construction sites located on the company premises is the protection of the house right, the protection of the company premises and its facilities, the people and the objects which are on them but also to document the changes on the company premises for the company history. This right is fundamentally covered by the householder's right. In addition, the purpose of video surveillance is to increase the sense of security of the people staying at these places, to deter people who are willing to commit vandalism, to prevent crime and to preserve evidence for the effective prosecution and enforcement of criminal and civil claims of both the responsible person and the employees.
Video surveillance is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR and Sections 4, 26 (4) BDSG: exercise the right to determine who shall be allowed or denied access, protection of property, people, objects and facilites located on the company premises; protection against criminal offences; assertion of civil law claims for damages by the controller and his employees; documentation of changes on the company premises for the company history; on the basis of a collective agreement in the case of processing personal data of employees.
However, it must be assumed that the interest of the person responsible or of a third party in video surveillance does not unduly interfere with the rights and freedoms of natural persons, in particular since the latter are made aware of video surveillance. Video surveillance is necessary and suitable to fulfil the intended purpose and is also the mildest means in this respect. Video surveillance is quite suitable to deter possible disturbers/ perpetrators. The video surveillance is well recognizable for everyone; in addition signs refer to the video surveillance. The video surveillance supplies usable pictures, which support the conversion of the house right or a criminal prosecution. An equally suitable, milder means is not recognizable. If this function were to be performed by security personnel, this would require staff around the clock. Also the use of camera dummies might cause only a comparable deterrence in the short term, since it cannot be excluded that this becomes known. The observation boundary ends at the boundary of the property.
The data will be deleted 5 working days after production if not used.
2. Access to the company premises
When we grant you access to our premises, we need personal information for communication, the provision of information and services, and for the purposes associated with the relationship. Your personal information will be collected either directly from you by the gatekeeper or through your contact person with us.
The following data categories can be collected and processed:
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is the protection of our legitimate interest on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR: Enforcement of our right to determine who shall be allowed or denied access rights; granting access to the company premises only to authorized visitors; protection of property, people, objects and facilities located on the company premises; protection against criminal offences; assertion of civil law claims for damages by the person responsible and by third parties, compliance with legal requirements.
3. Voluntary self-disclosure due to Covid-19 virus
Due to the current coronavirus pandemic, visitors to our company premises are asked to fill out a self-disclosure form. In doing so, we collect not only your name and contact data (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number, address) but also health data. We need this data in order to be able to carry out a risk assessment for access to our company premises and thus for contact with our employees. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. a and Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR, as they have expressly consented to the collection of the data. In addition, processing (e.g. also forwarding to third parties) may be necessary in order to protect your vital interests or those of other natural persons (Art. 6 (1) lit. d GDPR) or because there is a public interest (Art. 9 (2) lit. i GDPR in conjunction with § 22 (1) No. 1 lit. c BDSG). In addition, we could be legally obliged to do so (Art. 6 (1) lit. c and Art. 9 (2) lit. b DS-GVO).
The data will be deleted regularly, at the latest by the end of the pandemic.
4. License plate recognition
The entrances and exits to the company premises are equipped with barriers and TCP/IP-connected cameras for vehicle license plate recognition. The image capture is triggered by driving over an induction loop embedded in the lane, whereby the vehicle license plate is captured in an image file and read out together with the entry and exit time.
Due to the constant observation of a detection area and the repeated short-term image capture, the license plate recognition of motor vehicles could represent video surveillance in the sense of § 4 BDSG. Video surveillance is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR as well as §§ 4, 26 (4) BDSG for the following purposes: exercising the right of domicile; protection of property, people, property and installations located on the company premises; protection against criminal offences; assertion of civil damage claims by the responsible person and his employees; on the basis of a collective agreement in the case of processing personal data of employees.
Video surveillance is a suitable means of safeguarding the house right of the controller by giving the controller the opportunity to decide who is allowed to drive on the company premises and/ or who is allowed to use the parking space located there. In addition, license plate recognition can be used for preventive purposes, such as deterrence from committing violations of the law within the traffic area, or for repressive purposes, such as the preservation of evidence for the enforcement of civil law claims by the responsible party. A milder means of achieving the objective is not discernible.
The data will be deleted 5 working days after production if not used.
Subject of our data processing is your contact data as well as any other personal data required for the provision of our services or communication with you, e.g. information typically contained in order documents and / or public registers, such as commercial registers, or the subject of our correspondence with you.
If you have not provided us with your personal data yourself, we have received it from business partners, service providers or cooperation partners for whom you may work as an employee or representative, or have taken the data from publicly accessible sources, such as company websites, participant lists of events or public directories.
The purpose of the data processing is
Legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR when it comes to the fulfilment of contracts with or orders by individuals (natural persons) with whom we have business relationships. In all other cases, we have legitimate interest in the processing of personal data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in order to be able to guarantee smooth business processes and order processing or to maintain the business relationship. In addition, data processing may also be required by law (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR).
Each of our employees or all employees of service providers who have or may have access to personal data in the course of their work are obliged to treat this data confidentially.
Your personal data will be deleted after termination of the contractual or business relationship or other contact and insofar as the data is no longer required for the fulfilment of contractual or statutory obligations or the legitimate interests stated in this data protection declaration.
Within the group of companies, we transfer your personal data to group companies as required - see Section I. Otherwise, we transfer your personal data only on the basis of statutory regulations or if you have given us your consent to do so.
1. General
When the swap app is downloaded, the required information is transmitted to the respective App Store, in particular user name, email address, customer number at the App Store and the individual device ID. We have no influence on this data processing. The operator of the respective App Store is responsible for this. We only process the data required to operate the app on your device.
The processing of the IP address is a technical precondition for the use of the app.
Theprovider commissioned by us automatically collects and stores information in so-called server/ app log files, which your browser/ app transmits to us. These are:
In order to continually optimize this service, your access data will be evaluated anonymously for statistical purposes. In addition, the processing serves to ensure the proper operation of the app, in particular the correction of errors. These data are not merged with other data sources. Basis for the data processing is the protection of our legitimate interests according to art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Personal data will not be passed on to third parties.
We commission service providers, so-called processors, to maintain and service the app software. These service providers are contractually obliged to comply with the provisions of data protection law and are not considered third parties within the meaning of data protection law. All contents of the app are stored in the content management system of Staffbase GmbH, Germany, and hosted by the external providers 1&1 IONOS Cloud GmbH, Germany, and SysEleven GmbH, Germany. These companies are ISO 27001 certified.
Theprovision of media (images, video, files) within our app (Content Delivery Network) is carried out via a network of regionally distributed servers of Amazon Web Services Inc., US, which are connected via the Internet and may be located in the US and other third countries. This data processing by Amazon Web Services Inc. is carried out on the basis of suitable guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 Para. 2 DSGVO.
As an external tool we have integrated Google Maps. For more information please refer to Part II.4.
Our app uses a tracking toll to track the general usage behaviour of all users, but does not use cookies.
2. Services without login
The public area of the app can be used without registration and login. The public area contains public information/ news of the Scheidt & Bachmann Group as well as links to further offers.
3. Services with login
The app enables the provision of internal and external company information/ news as well as links for employees, shareholders and corporate bodies of the Scheidt & Bachmann Group and, in individual cases, third parties who have been given the opportunity to register in the swap app by the controller (hereinafter referred to as the "User"). Thus, information from the intranet can also be made available outside the office. The swap-app represents a flexible communication platform that can be individually adjusted to the respective information needs of the User.
The data is used for authentication checks, for displaying the User's comments/ likes, for listing in the employee directory of the swap-app and for communication between Users and with us.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), and if applicable in conjunction with § 26 Para. 2 BDSG. In principle, employees and employers have an equal interest in the provision of company information and communication on privately used terminal equipment. The information required for the performance of the employment relationship is provided to the employee in parallel via company communication channels. The voluntariness of the consent to data processing required for the use of the services is therefore given. The User can revoke this consent at any time. The email address used and the profile picture, if any, will be deleted from the database of the system. The data will then be backed up for another 30 days. Content created by the User is anonymized. The contents created by the User (in particular texts, images, graphics, audio files, video files, links) remain without link on the now no longer existing user profile. At the request of the User, these created contents are deleted by the administrator.
When registering in the app
After downloading the app from the app store you have to register to use it. This requires an e-mail address, your first and last name and a password of your choice. Optionally, a photo as a profile picture as well as futher personal details can also be stored . This data is stored on the servers hosted for us as long as the user account exists and can be viewed by others users of the app. If the account is deleted, the data will also be deleted.
When using the app
When you use the app, servers temporarily record the IP address of your device and other technical features, such as the requested content.
There is no way to participate anonymously in the content of the app. The name is visible in all activities. Every User who posts content to the app (e.g. chat messages, comments or likes) is saved as the associated author of the content (name, first name, time, profile picture if applicable) and is visible to all other Users. This information will be kept for the lifetime of the app, except the respective content or the user account will be deleted by the User himself or by the app administrator.
If a post is only read, this is only registered anonymously by the app and cannot be evaluated via the app on a personal basis.
Posts, e.g. comments made by the User himself and which are not anonymous, can only be evaluated for statistical purposes (e.g. number of comments/ likes on an article, number of active Users, last activity and newest comments of the User, most popular articles). The number of logins are stored by the app for maintenance purposes and security measures. The technical possibilities of the app to anonymously evaluate the usage behavior serve the purpose to improve the offered content of the app.
The app provides limited access to the contents of the Scheidt & Bachmann intranet, such as the S&B telephone directory.
As an external tool we have integrated Google Maps. For more information please refer to Part II.4.
Permissions
To be able to use the app on your device to its full extent, the app must be able to access various functions and data of the device. This requires that certain permissions are granted.
The permission categories can vary depending on the manufacturer of the device, so Android combines individual permissions into permission categories and you can only agree to permission categories as a whole.
If you disagree, it is possible that not all functions of the app are available.
If you have granted us permission, we will use access to the camera and the photos/ videos of the device to upload them to the app. This access must be initially confirmed by the User.
Push notifications are messages that are sent from the app to the device, where they are prioritized and displayed. When delivered, the app uses push notifications, provided you agreed to them when installing the app or the first time you used it. The device ID is processed for this.
You can deactivate the receipt of push notifications in the settings of your device or within the user account at any time.
Evaluation of usage behaviour
In order to make the app as user-friendly as possible, we analyse your usage behaviour anonymously. Within the limits of legal regulations, we or companies contracted by us to process data are able to create user profiles. A direct conclusion to an individual User of the app is not possible.
Translation service
The app offers a translation service, which is technically implemented by Microsoft Corporation. Only data that you have entered as text or sound for translation will be processed. This data will only be stored temporarily for the purpose of performing the translation, data are not written to persistent storage. There will be no record of the submitted text, or portion thereof, in any Microsoft data center. The audio and text will not be used for training purposes either.
