IT Chain GmbH appreciates your visit to our website and your interest in our company and our services. The protection of your privacy when processing personal data is an important concern for us, which we take into account in our business processes. IT Chain GmbH collects, processes and uses your personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations.
You can visit our website without telling us who you are. In order to display our web pages, you are only required to provide the data transmitted by your browser to our server (see "Log files"). Further personal data from you will only be stored if you enter it voluntarily on the website or use the corresponding functions, e.g. entries via our contact form or registration for our newsletter.
If you subscribe to our electronic newsletter, you consent to the storage of your name and e-mail address for the purpose of sending the newsletter (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR). This data will not be passed on to third parties. You can revoke your newsletter consent for the future and thus cancel your newsletter subscription at any time (unsubscribe function on our website).
You can enter your personal data on our website in order to contact us. Only the data required to process your request is mandatory and marked as such. The provision of further data may be helpful for processing your inquiry, but is not mandatory (voluntary information). This data will be used and stored with your consent exclusively for the purpose of processing your message (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR). It will not be used for other purposes or passed on to third parties unless you expressly agree to this (consent).
You have the opportunity to send us information about your application via our applicant portal or via the Simon Hegele Group's online applicant portal. We collect different types of information when you apply. This includes in particular your personal data with contact information as well as a description of your education, work experience and skills. The fields marked with an asterisk are mandatory and require information. You also have the option of providing us with electronically stored documents such as certificates or cover letters. Irrespective of this, you also have the option of sending us application documents by post.
By submitting your application, you confirm that the information you have provided is true. Please note that any false statement or deliberate omission may constitute grounds for rejection or subsequent dismissal.
We do not require any information from you that is not usable under the General Equal Treatment Act (race, ethnic origin, gender, religion or ideology, disability, age or sexual identity). We also ask you not to provide information on illness, pregnancy, ethnic origin, political views, philosophical or religious beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental health or sex life. The same applies to content that is likely to infringe the rights of third parties (e.g. copyrights, press law or general rights of third parties).
Personal data will only be collected, stored, processed and used for purposes related to your interest in current or future employment with us and the processing of your application; the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, § 26 BDSG. Your data will not be passed on to third parties other than processors or group companies.
If your application is successful, the data provided may be used for administrative matters in the context of employment or for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.
Your online application will only be processed and acknowledged by the relevant contact persons at our company. All employees entrusted with data processing are obliged to maintain the confidentiality of your data. Under no circumstances will third parties gain knowledge of your details. Data processing takes place exclusively in Germany.
If we are unable to offer you employment, we will retain the data you provide for up to six months for the purpose of answering questions in connection with your application and rejection.
However, if your application documents are generally of interest and there is simply no suitable position currently available, you hereby give us your consent to retain and store your data accordingly. This will enable us to contact you in the event of future vacancies.

Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include session cookies in particular. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the joint session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.
Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies at any time in your browser's security settings.

You can configure your browser settings according to your wishes and, for example, refuse to accept third-party cookies or all cookies. We would like to point out that you may not be able to use all the functions of this website. You can find out more about this in the help system of your Internet browser.
Mandatory functions that are technically necessary to display the website:
The technical structure of the website requires us to use technologies, in particular cookies. Without these technologies, our website cannot be displayed (completely correctly) or the support functions could not be enabled. These are basically transient cookies that are deleted at the end of your visit to the website, at the latest when you close your browser. You cannot deselect these cookies if you wish to use our website. The individual cookies can be seen in the Consent Manager. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
Optional cookies if you give your consent:
We only set various cookies with your consent, which you can select when you first visit our website using the cookie consent tool. The functions are only activated with your consent and can be used in particular to enable us to analyze and improve visits to our website, to make it easier for you to use different browsers or end devices, to recognize you when you visit us again or to place advertising (possibly also to tailor advertising to your interests, measure the effectiveness of advertisements or show interest-based advertising). The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
To manage cookies and your consent in this regard, we use a solution from Usercentrics A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark ("Usercentrics"), namely the Cookie Consent Manager Cookiebot. As part of order processing, we therefore transmit personal data (consent data: Date and time of visit or consent / refusal, device information) to Usercentrics as processor. The data is processed for the purpose of complying with legal obligations and the associated documentation of consent and thus on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR. Local storage is used to store the data. The consent data is stored for 3 years. The data is stored exclusively in the EU. Further information on the data collected and contact options can be found at
Privacy policy (cookiebot.com)
Details on the cookies used and the option to consent to the use of cookies can also be found in the settings of the Cookie Consent Manager Cookiebot.
This stored information is stored separately from any other data you may have provided to us. In particular, the cookie data is not linked to your other data, if such data is transmitted.
IT Chain GmbH only and exclusively stores personal data of website visitors who have registered voluntarily/on their own initiative on our websites in order to receive information about products and services, to receive our or the Simon Hegele newsletter or to download documents. If you have given your consent, you may also receive promotional, interest-related e-mails.
Some forms on the IT Chain GmbH website are linked to Pardot. Pardot is a marketing automation software from Salesforce.com EMEA Limited ("Salesforce"), village 9, floor 26 Salesforce Tower, 110 Bishopsgate, London, UK, EC2N 4AY.
Personal data provided voluntarily is first stored in Pardot and then processed with the Salesforce CRM system for the purpose of making contact and/or sending information. Salesforce does not store IP addresses, but uses the individual assignment features "unique visitor ID" and "unique identifier". Personal conclusions are not possible.
Here (https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=pardot_basics_cookies.htm&type=5) you can find out how Salesforce processes your data when you visit websites.
IT Chain GmbH uses Pardot as a marketing analysis service that makes it possible to maintain, measure and expand the IT Chain website and IT Chain marketing communication and to optimize IT Chain website content. To protect users and partners, fraud and security risks can also be identified and averted if necessary. Data is processed in Salesforce on our behalf through the use of cookies.
The targeted deactivation of Pardot cookies is possible if you do not allow marketing cookies in your selection. If you select this option, it may lead to restrictions in the functions and user-friendliness of the IT Chain GmbH website.
The legal basis for this processing as described above is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time without this affecting the lawfulness of processing up to the point of withdrawal.
Our website links to our pages on various social media platforms. We would like to point out that by clicking on these links, you leave our website and also the scope of this privacy policy. On the social media platforms, the respective privacy policies and terms of use of the operator of the social media platform apply exclusively.
Each time you access our website, we collect the following information about your computer: the IP address of your computer, the request from your browser and the time of this request. In addition, the status and the amount of data transferred as part of this request are recorded, as well as product and version information about the browser used and the operating system of your computer. We also record the website from which our site was accessed. The IP address of your computer is only stored for the duration of your use of the website and is then immediately deleted or anonymized by shortening it. The other data is stored for a limited period of time. We use this data for the operation of our website, in particular to detect and eliminate errors on the website, to determine the utilization of the website and to make adjustments or improvements (legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR).
We use Google Analytics to analyze website usage. The data obtained from this is used to optimize our website and advertising measures.
Google Analytics is provided to us by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Google processes the website usage data on our behalf and is contractually obliged to take measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of the processed data.
The following data is recorded during your visit to the website:
Personal data such as name, address or contact details are never transmitted to Google Analytics.
This data is transferred to Google servers in the USA. We would like to point out that the same level of protection under data protection law cannot be guaranteed in the USA as within the EU. Google LLC, based in the USA, as a potential data recipient, is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, so that any third country transfer is legitimized by the EU Commission's adequacy decision regarding the transfer to certified recipients in the USA in accordance with Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR.
Google Analytics stores cookies in your web browser for a period of two years since your last visit. These cookies contain a randomly generated user ID with which you can be recognized on future website visits. The recorded data is stored together with the randomly generated user ID, which makes it possible to analyze pseudonymous user profiles. This user-related data is automatically deleted after 14 months. Other data remains stored in aggregated form indefinitely.
If you do not agree to the collection of data, you can prevent this by installing the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics or by rejecting cookies via our cookie settings dialog.
We use Google AdWords to draw attention to our offers on external websites with the help of advertising material (so-called Google AdWords). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the advertising campaign data. We are interested in showing you advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.
These advertisements are delivered by Google via so-called "ad servers". For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users, can be measured. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google AdWords will store a cookie on your PC. These cookies generally lose their validity after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. The unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values for this cookie.
These cookies enable Google to recognize your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an AdWords customer's website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. A different cookie is assigned to each AdWords customer. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. We ourselves do not collect and process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. Based on these evaluations, we can recognize which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising material; in particular, we cannot identify users on the basis of this information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: Through the integration of AdWords Conversion, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out your IP address and store it.
You can prevent participation in this tracking process in various ways: a) by setting your browser software accordingly, in particular suppressing third-party cookies will prevent you from receiving ads from third-party providers; b) by deactivating cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com", www.google.de/settings/ads, whereby this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the "About Ads" self-regulation campaign via the link www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies; d) by permanently deactivating them in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers under the link www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.
The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The use of cookies as described above is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. Further information on data protection at Google can be found here: www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy. Google LLC, based in the USA, as a potential data recipient, is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, so that any third country transfer is legitimized by the EU Commission's adequacy decision regarding the transfer to certified recipients in the USA in accordance with Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR.
In addition to Adwords Conversion, we use the Google Remarketing application. This is a process with which we would like to address you again. Through this application, our advertisements can be displayed to you when you continue to use the Internet after visiting our website. This is done by means of cookies stored in your browser, which are used by Google to record and evaluate your usage behavior when you visit various websites. This enables Google to determine your previous visit to our website. According to its own statements, Google does not merge the data collected in the context of remarketing with your personal data, which may be stored by Google. In particular, according to Google, pseudonymization is used in remarketing.
Furthermore, the website uses the remarketing function "Custom Audiences" of Meta Platforms Inc ("Facebook"). This allows users of the website to be shown interest-based advertisements ("Facebook ads") when they visit the Facebook social network or other websites that also use the process. We are interested in showing you advertisements that are of interest to you in order to make our website more interesting for you. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Facebook server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Facebook through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: Through the integration of Facebook Custom Audiences, Facebook receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our Internet presence or have clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, it is possible for the provider to find out and store your IP address and other identifying features. The deactivation of the "Facebook Custom Audiences" function is possible for logged-in users under: Facebook settings. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. Further information on data processing by Facebook can be found at www.facebook.com/about/privacy.Meta Platforms Inc., based in the USA, as a potential data recipient, is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, so that any third country transfer pursuant to Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR is legitimized by the adequacy decision of the EU Commission regarding the transfer to certified recipients in the USA.
Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR):
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6(1)(e) GDPR (data processing in the public interest) and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balancing of interests).
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).
In individual cases, we process your personal data for the purpose of direct advertising. You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising.
If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR). The objection can be made informally and should preferably be addressed to

In general, we do not pass on your data to third parties unless it is necessary in the context of contract processing and fulfillment of the contractually agreed service with you or we have commissioned third parties as processors (Art. 28 GDPR). Otherwise, however, your data will only be passed on if we have informed you in detail and you have given us your written consent to pass on your data.
