1 Data protection at a glance
1. 1 General information
Thank you for your interest in our website. The protection of your personal data during your visit to our website is of a particularly high priority for the management of 2perspectives GmbH. The following information provides you with an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under data protection law. Personal data is all data that can be related to you personally, e.g. name, address, e-mail addresses, user behaviour.
If a data subject wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject. The processing is always carried out in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the data protection regulations applicable to 2perspectives GmbH applicable country-specific data protection regulations.
The 2perspectives GmbH as the controller, has implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website against loss, destruction, access, alteration or distribution of your data by unauthorized persons. This also means that this site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize 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 SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Nevertheless, absolute protection cannot be guaranteed due to fundamental security gaps in Internet-based data transmissions.

The receipt of e-mails may be disrupted in exceptional cases for technical or operational reasons. Please ensure that time-critical messages are also sent by post or fax. Please bear in mind that communication by e-mail is fundamentally insecure, as it is possible for third parties to gain knowledge of and manipulate it. Confidential data should never be sent unencrypted by e-mail

3 Data collection on our website
3.1 External hosting
This website is hosted by an external service provider (host). The personal data collected on this website is stored on the host's servers. This may include IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contract data, contact details, names, website accesses and other data generated via a website.
The hoster is used for the purpose of fulfilling the contract with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast, efficient and reliable provision of our online offer by a professional provider in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
Our host will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfil its performance obligations and follow our instructions with regard to this data. In order to ensure data protection-compliant processing, we have concluded an order processing contract with our host.
3.2 Use of 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
The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in the smooth establishment of a connection to the website, the technically error-free presentation and optimization of our website and the evaluation of system security and stability. We use the server log files for this purpose. However, the provider reserves the right to check the log data retrospectively if there is a justified suspicion of unlawful use based on concrete evidence.
3.3 Use of cookies
Our Internet pages use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or display advertising.
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG); the consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
Insofar as cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this separately in the context of this data protection information and, if necessary, request your consent.
3.4 Contact form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
3.5 Request by e-mail, telephone or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, we will store and process your inquiry, including all personal data (name, inquiry), 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 GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.
3.6 Handling applicant data
As part of the application process, it is important to us to ensure the highest possible level of protection for your personal data. For this reason, we use an external service provider as an application management tool. In the overview of our job vacancies, you have the option of switching to a detailed view in order to take a closer look at interesting job profiles. Both this view and the rest of the online application process are implemented by our service provider. In the case of an online application, you will also receive a separate privacy policy in which we explain in detail how we process your data.
Our service provider will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfil its performance obligations and follow our instructions with regard to this data. In order to ensure data protection-compliant processing, we have concluded an order processing contract with our service provider.
We assure you that your data will be collected, processed and used in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.
3.6.1 Scope and purpose of data collection
If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, etc.) insofar as this is necessary for the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation) and - if you have given your consent - Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.
3.6.2 Data retention period
If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. The retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.
Longer storage may also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion. Consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

5 Plugins and tools
5.1 Google reCAPTCHA
We use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter referred to as "reCAPTCHA") on our website. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, a company incorporated and operated under Irish law with its registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as "Google").
The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to check whether data is entered on this website (e.g. in a contact form) by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website.

6 Our social media presence
6.1 Purpose of data processing on the social media presences
We maintain publicly accessible profiles in social networks. The individual social networks we use are listed below.
The purpose of such social media presences is public relations work, i.e. to provide our customers with information about offers, products, competitions, news and, of course, interaction with our visitors on the various platforms on all these topics, including answering corresponding queries. Visiting our social media platform purely for information purposes is generally possible without actively providing or collecting personal data.
In addition, the social media platforms offer the opportunity to leave a wide variety of content such as videos, images, public messages and comments (posts) on our company profiles. In the event of unlawful or inappropriate posts and content on our presence (this includes posts that violate the law or are illegal, hate comments, offensive comments (explicitly sexual content) or attachments such as images or videos, as well as violations of copyright, personal rights and criminal law), we are jointly responsible with the platform operator for their deletion. In the case of direct communication addressed to us (personal private message, letter or email), the operator has no means of intervention.
Social media platforms can generally analyse your user behaviour comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. Like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media presences may trigger numerous data protection-relevant processing operations. These include, for example
- The entire infrastructure of the social media platforms is the responsibility of the respective operator. They maintain their own data protection regulations and a corresponding user relationship with you if you are a registered user.
- If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection takes place, for example, via cookies that are stored on your end device or due to the technically required collection of various data and information in so-called log files or server log files, such as your IP address.
- With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you inside and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, the interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are logged in or have been logged in.
Please note that we cannot track all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social media portals.
Wherever possible, we make sure that our social media offerings are as data protection-friendly as possible.
6.1.1 Legal basis
Our social media presences serve our public relations work and are intended to ensure the broadest possible presence on the Internet. In addition, we have a legitimate interest in responding to inquiries from our users and visitors and thus maintaining and promoting customer satisfaction. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
6.1.2 Responsible party and assertion of rights
If you visit one of our social media sites, we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can assert your rights (information, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. against LinkedIn).
Please note that, despite our joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.
6.1.3 Storage duration
The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
We have no influence on the storage period of your data that is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policies, see below). Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them.
Public posts made by you on one of our social media presences generally remain in place indefinitely. Of course, you have the option of deleting the post yourself if this is possible. As described above, we reserve the right to independently delete unlawful or inappropriate posts and content on our presence.
We have no influence on the deletion of your data or content by the social media platform operator. The data protection provisions of the respective platform operator also apply.
6.1.4 Social networks in detail
- LinkedIn: We have a profile on LinkedIn. The provider is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. LinkedIn uses advertising cookies.
If you wish to deactivate LinkedIn advertising cookies, please use the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.

7 Changes to our data protection information
We reserve the right to adapt this data protection information so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the data protection information, e.g. when introducing new services. The new data protection information will then apply to your next visit.
