The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit our website. Personal data means all data by which you can be personally identified. Detailed information on the subject of data protection can be found in our privacy policy set out below.<\/p>

Data collection on our website<\/strong><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Who is responsible for data collection on this website?<\/strong><\/p>

Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator, whose contact details can be found in the legal notice of this website.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

How do we collect your data?<\/strong><\/p>

Your data is collected, on the one hand, when you provide it to us. This may, for example, be data that you enter in a contact form. Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website. This is mainly technical data, such as the internet browser, operating system or time at which the page is accessed. This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

What do we use your data for?<\/strong><\/p>

Some of the data is collected in order to ensure error-free provision of the website. Within our online offering, we collect, process or use your personal data only if you send us an inquiry via email or the contact form and provide the data required to process your request. The provision of personal data is necessary in order to conduct a business relationship or to respond to your request. If the data is not provided, the business relationship or the response to your request may be partially or completely impossible. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

What rights do you have regarding your data?<\/strong><\/p>

You have the right at any time to obtain information about the origin, recipients and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction, blocking or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for any further questions on the subject of data protection, you may contact us at any time using the address stated in section 3 (Data protection information). Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Analytics tools and third-party tools<\/strong><\/p>

When you visit our website, your browsing behavior may be statistically analyzed. This is mainly done using cookies and so-called analytics programs. The analysis of your browsing behavior is generally anonymous and cannot be traced back to you. You may object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. Detailed information can be found in the following privacy policy. We will inform you about the options for objection in this privacy policy.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Handling of applications<\/strong><\/p>

Applications, whether for advertised positions or unsolicited applications, may be submitted to us both by post and by e-mail.<\/p>

The job advertisements explicitly refer to the e-mail address personal@sicon.eu<\/a>, whose recipients are exclusively the management and, where applicable, the HR department. The processing of personal data from applications is based on the legal basis of Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 (1) BDSG.<\/p>

Handling of applications received by e-mail:<\/span><\/p>

Messages received in the inbox of personal@sicon.eu<\/a> are filed in the \u201cApplications\u201d folder structure under the relevant category and stored on an internal, separately created server drive for particularly sensitive application-related data. After the application process has been completed, the data relevant to the position to be filled is filtered and sorted in tabular form in an applicant overview in order to support a clear and structured decision-making process.<\/p>

Once a decision has been made regarding the filling of the position, all applicants, both successful and unsuccessful, are informed that the selection process has been completed and that the application data will be deleted. If the data is to be stored beyond this period because the candidate may be of interest for future vacancies, the required consent will be obtained in advance. Consent to the storage of your data is voluntary and may be withdrawn at any time.<\/p>

In exceptional cases, applications, usually unsolicited applications, may not be sent to personal@sicon.eu<\/a> but instead to known direct contacts or to info@sicon.eu<\/a>. In these cases, the senders are informed directly of this circumstance, the application is forwarded internally and confidentially to the responsible person, as stated above, and handled with the appropriate sensitivity. Copies of the e-mails in folders, such as Sent Items, Deleted Items, etc., are permanently deleted. The data is not passed on to third parties.<\/p>

Handling of applications received by post:<\/span><\/p>

Applications received by post are submitted unopened to the management, who review them upon receipt and digitize and use them as described above. Digitization is carried out solely for the purpose of conducting the application process. The application is then stored in a locked cabinet until the selection process, analogous to the procedure described for e-mail applications, has been completed.<\/p>

Applications from candidates who are not hired are returned to the senders at our expense. Applications from the person hired are stored in the personnel file in a locked cabinet. Upon request by the employee, the application documents will be handed over.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
