3. Data processing when visiting our website

 3.1 Usage data

 When you visit our websites, our web server temporarily evaluates so-called usage data for statistical purposes in order to improve the quality of our website. This data consists of the following data categories:

  • the name and address of the requested content,
  • the date and time of the query,
  • the amount of data transferred,
  • the access status (content transferred, content not found),
  • the description of the used web browser and operating system,
  • the referral link, which indicates from which page you reached ours,
  • the IP address of the requesting computer, which is shortened in such a way that a personal reference can no longer be established.


The legal basis for the processing of usage data is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The processing is based on the legitimate interest of providing the contents of the website and ensuring a device- and browser-optimised display.

3.2 Data processors

We share your data with service providers that support us in the operation of our websites and the associated processes as part of data processing on behalf of the controller pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. These are, for example, hosting service providers. Our service providers are strictly bounded by our instructions and are contractually obligated accordingly.


In the following, we will name the processors with whom we work, if we have not already done so in the above text of the data protection declaration. If data may be processed outside the EU or the EEA in this context, we inform you about this in the following table.

ProcessorPurposeAdequate level of data protection
profihost GmbH/dogado GmbHWeb hosting and supportProcessing only within the EU/EEA
Digital Masters GmbHAdministrative supportProcessing only within the EU/EEA

 3.3 Data security

 ​In order to protect your data as comprehensively as possible from unwanted access, we implement technical and organisational measures. These measures include encryption procedures on our websites. Your data is transferred from your computer to our server and vice versa via the internet using TLS encryption. You can usually recognize this by the fact that the lock symbol in the status bar of your browser is closed and the address line begins with https://.

3.4 Neccessary cookies / web storage

We use cookies on our websites, which are necessary for using our websites.

Cookies are small text files that can be stored on and extracted from your device. There is a difference between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are stored for more than the duration of the session. In some cases, these cookies only contain information on certain settings and are not linked to a person. They may also be necessary to enable user guidance, security and operating of the site.You can delete cookies or prevent the setting of new cookies at any time by using the appropriate browser settings. Please note that our websites may then not be displayed correctly and some functions may no longer be available for technical reasons.


We also use so-called web storage entries (local storage, session storage) on our websites. With local storage, data is stored locally in your browser’s cache and remains there even after you close the browser window and can be extracted if you do not actively delete the cache. You can manage local storage content in your browser via the settings, depending on which browser you use. The function of session storage corresponds in content to the local storage described above, except that the corresponding data is automatically removed from your browser’s cache immediately after closing the browser (“session”).


We use necessary cookies and web storage entries based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.


For more information about the necessary cookies and web storage entries, the storage period, and the purpose of processing, please refer to our consent banner, category “Essential”.

 3.5 Consent banner

 We use a consent management platform (consent banner) on our websites. The processing in connection with the use of the consent management platform and the logging of the settings you have made is based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR to provide you with our content according to your preferences and to be able to prove your consent(s). The settings you have made, the consents you have given and parts of your usage data are stored in a cookie. This ensures that it is kept for further website visits and that your consents continue to be traceable. You can find more information about this under the section “3.4 Necessary cookies / web storage”.

3.6 Google Consent Mode

 We use Google Consent Mode V2 (basic mode). This means that your IP address is transmitted to Google irrespective of your settings in the banner. However, this is deleted by Google immediately after collection and is not logged. The processing is based on our legitimate interest in being able to better control and use certain functions of the Google services used on the website that require consent. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

4. Web analysis, tracking, third-party content

4.1 NON-ESSENTIAL COOKIES / WEB STORAGE

 Non-essential cookies and, where applicable, web storage entries are also used on our websites, provided you have given your consent via our consent banner. For more information on non-essential cookies and web storage entries, the storage period, and the purpose of processing, please refer to our consent banner, categories “Statistics” and “External Media”. Only when you give your consent via our consent banner, non-essential cookies and, if applicable, web storage entries will be used, and further data processing will take place on the basis of your consent, which you can withdraw at any time via our consent banner. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on your consent before its withdrawal.

 4.2 VISITOR MEASUREMENT

We use web analytics tools to design our websites in accordance with the needs of our visitors. This creates usage profiles based on pseudonyms. For this purpose, permanent cookies are stored on your device and accessed by us. In addition, it is possible that we retrieve identifiers related to your browser or device (e.g., a so-called browser fingerprint or your full IP address). This allows us to recognise returning visitors and count them as such.


In addition, we use the following functions as part of visitor measurement:

  • We supplement the pseudonymous data with additional data provided by third-party providers. This allows us to record demographic characteristics of our visitors, e.g. information on age, gender and place of residence.
  • We use a tracking method that allows us to capture and subsequently evaluate the mouse cursor movement of our visitors.
  • We create explorative click paths and browsing behaviour analysis based on contextual data, including usage history on other sites with also enabled cookies.


The legal basis for this data processing is your consent if you have given your consent via our consent banner. Below we list the third-party providers with whom we collaborate within the context of our visitor measurement. If data is processed outside the EU or the EEA (in particular in the USA) in this context, we provide information about the level of data protection in the following table.

 On our websites, we embed map services that are not stored on our servers. For reasons of data protection, no content from third-party proivders is reloaded yet and the third-party provider will not receive any informtaion, when you call up our web pages. Only when you give your consent the content of the third-party provider will be reloaded. The third-party provider is therefore able to obtain the information that you have accessed our site as well as the usage data that is technically required in this context. Additionally, the third-party provider is able to implement tracking technologies. We have no influence on the further data processing by the third-party provider. Your consent includes that contents of the third party provider are reloaded.


The embedding is based on your consent. Please note that the embedding of some map services results in that your data will be processed outside the EU or EEA (in particular the USA).

5. APPLICATIONS

You have the option of applying to us and our affiliated companies using an application form provided on our websites or via email. The company to which your application is addressed is controller for the data processing. If your application is not addressed to us (SACO Shipping GmbH), we provide support within the scope of data processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR as a data processor bound by instructions.


When using the application form, you will be required to provide the information marked as mandatory fields in the application form. When applying via email, you determine the scope of the data you wish to transmit in your email application. However, in order for your application to be considered, at least the following information is required: name, address, email address, cover letter or details of the desired position, resume, references, and qualifications. The legal basis for the processing of this data is Section 26 (1) (1) German “Bundesdatenschutzgesetz” (BDSG) or Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, as the data is necessary for the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship or the conclusion of a contract. In addition, you can decide for yourself whether to provide further information that is not marked as mandatory on the application form or that you attach to your application via email. The provision of this data is voluntary and is not mandatory for your application. If you voluntarily provide us with personal data, this data will be processed on the basis of your consent, which can be revoked at any time, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR in conjunction with § 26 (2) BDSG. You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect. To do so, please contact bewerbung@saco.de .


In addition, personal data about you may be collected from career networks (e.g., XING, LinkedIn) and from websites with a professional context during the application process, provided that this personal data has been made public. The legal basis for processing is the legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in collecting additional relevant information for the decision on establishing an employment relationship with you.


In the event of rejection, you may be asked whether you consent to the longer storage of your data (talent pool). Based on your consent, your data will then be further processed for a period of 18 months so that we can also consider your application for other or future job vacancies with us and our affiliated companies. We will retain your declaration of consent to be included in our talent pool for further three years in order to comply with our accountability obligations within the meaning of Art. 5 (2) GDPR. The legal basis for storing your application documents and contacting you in the event of a suitable position is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR in conjunction with § 26 (2) BDSG. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. To do so, please contact bewerbung@saco.de .


Your information will be treated as confidential. In connection with applications Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited (One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland) is used. Data processing is carried out on our behalf on servers in data centers in the European Union. A corresponding contract for data processing has been concluded with the service provider. An adequate level of data protection is ensured by Microsoft’s certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (adequacy decision for the U.S.). Where necessary, other strictly bound service providers are used, e.g., in the areas of IT support, with whom separate contracts for data processing have been concluded.


If there is no legal retention period, the application data will be deleted as soon as storage is no longer necessary or the legitimate interest in storage has expired. If you are not hired, this will normally be the case no later than six months after completion of the application process or after receipt of the rejection, unless you have given your consent to longer storage. We also delete data if you withdraw your consent to the processing of your data. In individual cases, individual data may be stored for a longer period (e.g., travel expense reports). The duration of storage is then based on the statutory retention obligations, e.g., from the German Tax Code (“Abgabenordnung”, 6 years) or the German Commercial Code (“Handelsgesetzbuch”, 8 years). Further storage of your data is also permissible if, after weighing up the interests, we determine that further processing is necessary for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
