Use of Cookies

On our website, information is collected and stored by using so called browser cookies.



What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your data medium and that store certain settings and data that are to be exchanged with our system via your browser. A cookie usually contains the name of the domain from which the cookies is sent, as well as information about the age of the cookie and an alphanumeric identification code.



Why do we use Cookies?

Cookies enable our system to recognise the device of the user and to make possible pre settings available immediately. As soon as the user accesses our platform, a cookie is transferred to the hard drive of the computer of the respective user. Cookies help us to improve our website and to provide you with a better and more personalised service. They enable us to recognise your computer or your (mobile) device when you return to our website and through this, we can:

• store information about your preferred activities on the website and thereby cater our website to your individual interests; and
• improve the speed when processing your requests.

We work together with third party services that support us with creating a more interesting internet service and website for you. Therefore, cookies from these partner companies (third party service providers) are also stored on your hard drive when you visit the website. In this case, the cookies are automatically deleted after a pre set time.

10. Job Application Process

If you apply for a job at Inspirion GmbH electronically, your data are used exclusively to process your job application and will not be forwarded to third parties. Please note that applications that you send to Inspirion GmbH via e mail are sent without encryption. Therefore, there is a risk that someone unauthorised might intercept and use these data.

11. Embedding of Services and Content of Third Parties

Our website uses content, services, and performance from other providers. For example, these might be videos provided by YouTube. In order for these data to be called and shown in the browser of the user, a transfer of the IP address is mandatory. The provider (in the following called “third party”) therefore notices the IP address of the respective user.



Even though we strive to solely use third parties that need the IP address only to provide content, we have no influence on whether or not your IP address might be stored. If that is the case, the process might be used for statistical purposes, amongst others. Provided that we are aware of your IP address being stored, we will point this out to you.



Use of YouTube

In order to integrate and show video content, our website uses plug ins of the website YouTube, which is controlled by Google. The provider of the video portal is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.



When opening a web page with integrated YouTube plug in, a connection the servers of YouTube is established. Through this, YouTube will be aware of which of our pages you have visited.



If you are logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube can directly connect your surfing habits with your personal profile. You may avoid this by logging out in advance.



The use of YouTube is based on the interest to provide an appealing display of our online services. This accounts for a legitimate interest in terms of Article 6 paragraph 1 point (f) GDPR.



You can find details regarding the handling of user data in the Data Protection Policy of YouTube at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

12. Data Security

Unfortunately, the transmission of data via the internet is never 100 % secure, which is why we cannot guarantee the security of the data transmitted to our website via the internet.



Nevertheless, we protect our website through technical and organisational means against loss, destruction, access, modification, or distribution of your data by unauthorised persons.



In particular, your personal data is transmitted encrypted by us.
For this, we use the encoding system SSL/TLS (Secure Sockets Layer / Transport Layer Security). Our security measures are constantly improved in line with technological advances.

On principle, we will not forward your data without your consent beyond the scope of the aforementioned circumstances. In particular, we will not transmit your personal data to a body in a third party country or an international organisation.

15. Storage Duration for Personal Data

Regarding the storage duration, we will delete personal data as soon as the storage is no longer necessary to fulfil the original purpose and no legal obligation to retain the data exists. Ultimately, legal obligations to retain data remain the criteria for the final storage duration of your personal data. After the expiration of this period, the relevant data will be routinely deleted. Should legal obligations to retain data continue to exist, the processing of data will be restricted by blocking the data.

16. References and Links

When calling up web pages to which we include a link on our website, these may once again ask for details such as name, address, e mail address, browser characteristics, etc. This Data Protection Policy does not regulate the collection, transmission, or handling of personal data by third parties.



Third parties may have differing and distinct regulations when handling the collection, processing, and use of personal data. We therefore recommend that you inform yourself about the code of practice regarding the handling of personal data on the websites of these third parties.

17. Change of Data Protection Policy

We continuously develop our website further in order to provide you with a constantly improving service. We will keep this Data Protection Policy up to date and adjust it accordingly, if and when this may be necessary.



Of course we will give you due notice regarding possible changes of this Data Protection Policy. We will do this, for example, by e mail to the e mail address you provided us. Insofar as you may need to provide additional consent relating to our handling of your data, we will of course ask for your consent before relevant changes come into effect.
