As the data subject, you have a right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") subject to the prerequisites laid down in Article 17 of the GDPR.

This means that in principle, you have the right to request that we promptly erase the personal data concerning you and that we are obliged to erase these personal data without delay provided that one of the reasons as specified under Article 17 para. 1 of the GDPR applies.

Insofar as we made the personal data public and if we are obliged to erase them, we are equally obliged (subject to the available technology and cost of implementation) to take reasonable measures, even of technical nature, so as to inform other data controllers processing such personal data that a data subject requested that they erase all links to these personal data or copies or replications of said personal data (Article 17 para. 2 of the GDPR).

In the exceptional case, the right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") does not apply insofar as processing is necessary for reasons specified in Article 17 para. 3 of the GDPR.

Information on the Processing of Personal Data

I. Legal Basis and Purpose of Processing Your Data

We process your personal data in compliance with the provisions set forth in the GDPR (GDPR) as well as the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz - BDSG) for various purposes. The specific purposes of data processing are primarily dependent on the individual request, the selected product or the individual service that has been opted for.

The processing of your personal data is based on one of the legal reasons specified below:

you issued your prior consent (Art. 6 para. 1, subparagraph 1 lit. a GDPR);

processing is necessary in order to comply with the performance of a contract with you or to take steps prior to entering into a contract at your request (Art. 6 para. 1, subparagraph 1 lit. b GDPR);

processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under EU law or the legislation of an EU Member State (Art. 6 para. 1, subparagraph 1 lit. c GDPR);

processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Audi Business Innovation GmbH or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data (Art. 6 para. 1, subparagraph 1 lit. f GDPR).

If, in the exceptional case, we process special categories of personal data (data that identify the race or ethnicity, political opinions, religious or ideological convictions or the affiliation to a trade union; the processing of genetic data, biometrical data to clearly identify a natural person; health data or data on a person’s sexual life or sexual orientation) concerning you, one of the following legal grounds must be relevant in addition:

you issued your express prior consent (Art. 9 para. 2, lit. a GDPR);

processing is necessary to protect your vital interests or those of another natural person and the data subject is unable to issue his or her consent because of physical or legal reasons (Art. 9 para. 2 lit. c GDPR);

processing encompasses personal data which you manifestly made public (Art. 9 para. 2 lit. e GDPR);

processing is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims (Art. 9 para. 2 lit. f GDPR);

processing is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest, on the basis of EU or Member State law which shall be proportionate to the aim pursued, respect the essence of the right to data protection and provide for suitable and specific measures to safeguard the fundamental rights and the interests of the data subject (Art. 9 subparagraph 2 lit. g GDPR).

Please observe your rights to object to the processing of data for purposes relating to direct marketing or personal reasons and your right to withdraw a consent given (see Section B, especially paragraph VI. about your right to object).

II. Personal Data on the Website

In connection with the website https://audi-business-innovation-gmbh.jobs.personio.de/ various personal data are processed for different purposes.

Insofar as we as the so-called controller decide alone or jointly with others on the purposes and means of processing personal data, you are given information below that particularly regards

the personal data or categories of personal data that are processed;

the purposes for which the personal data are to be processed;

legal basis for processing and, insofar as processing is based on Article 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR, the legitimate interests which we or a third party pursue;

where applicable, the recipient or the categories of recipient of the personal data;

where applicable, our intention to transmit the personal data to a third country or to an international organisation as well as the presence or absence of an adequacy decision by the Commission or, in the event of transmissions pursuant to Article 46 or Article 47 of the GDPR or Article 49 para. 1 subparagraph 2 of the GDPR, a reference to suitable or reasonable guarantees and the possibility of how a copy of them can be obtained or where they are available;

the storage period of personal data or, if this is not possible, the criteria that establish this period.

III. Website log files

Every time the website https://audi-business-innovation-gmbh.jobs.personio.de/ is accessed, general log data are automatically written to what are known as log files. As these data are usually pseudonymised, they cannot be traced back to any natural person. Without these data, it would not be technically possible to deliver and display some of the software content. It is also absolutely essential that we process these data for reasons of security, especially for access, input, transfer and storage control. Furthermore, the anonymised information may be used for statistical purposes and to optimise the website and technology. In addition, the log files may be subsequently reviewed and evaluated if there is reason to suspect illegal use of the software. The legal basis for this is set out in Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The following information is automatically transferred:

Internet Protocol (IP) address of the end device from which the website was accessed;

Internet address of the website from which the website was accessed (known as the origin or referrer URL);

Name of the service provider via which the website was accessed;

Name of the files and/or information retrieved;

Date, time and duration of the visit;

Data volume transferred;

Operating system and information on the browser used, including installed add-ons (e.g. for the Flash Player);

HTTP status code (e.g. “request successful” or “requested file not found”).

The aforementioned data are stored without your complete IP address in the log files so that they cannot be traced back to your IP address.
