7. Information about the use of cookies

What personal data is collected and to what extent is it processed?

We integrate and use cookies on various pages to enable certain functions of our website and to integrate external web services. Cookies are small text files that your browser can store on your access device. These text files contain a characteristic string of characters that uniquely identifies the browser when you return to our website. The process of storing a cookie file is also referred to as "setting a cookie." Cookies can be set by the website itself as well as by external web services.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data: To the extent that cookies are processed on the basis of consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, this consent also constitutes consent within the meaning of Section 25(1) of the TDDDG for the placement of the cookie on the user’s device. To the extent that another legal basis under the GDPR is cited (e.g., for the performance of a contract or to fulfill legal obligations), the storage or placement is based on an exception pursuant to Section 25(2) TDDDG. This exception applies “if the sole purpose of storing information on the end-user’s terminal equipment or the sole purpose of accessing information already stored on the end-user’s terminal equipment is to carry out the transmission of a message via a public telecommunications network” or “if the storage of information in the end-user’s terminal equipment or access to information already stored in the end-user’s terminal equipment is strictly necessary for the provider of a digital service to provide a digital service expressly requested by the user.” The applicable legal basis is determined by the cookie table listed in the Borlabs Consent Manager:

Purpose of data processing: Cookies are set by our website or external web services to maintain the full functionality of our website, improve user-friendliness, or pursue the purpose specified with your consent. Cookie technology also enables us to recognize individual visitors by means of pseudonyms, e.g., individual or random IDs, so that we can offer more personalized services. Details are listed in the following table:

Duration of storage: Our cookies are stored until they are deleted in your browser or, in the case of session cookies, until the session expires. Details are listed in the following table:

Right to object and removal: You can set your browser according to your preferences so that cookies are generally prevented from being set. You can then decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept cookies or accept cookies in principle. Cookies can be used for various purposes, e.g. to recognize that your access device is already connected to our website (permanent cookies) or to store recently viewed offers (session cookies). If you have expressly given us permission to process your personal data, you can revoke this consent at any time. Please note that this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.

8. Data security and data protection, communication by email

Your personal data is protected by technical and organizational measures during collection, storage, and processing in such a way that it is not accessible to third parties. In the case of unencrypted communication by email, we cannot guarantee complete data security during transmission to our IT systems, so we recommend encrypted communication or postal mail for information that requires a high level of confidentiality.

9. Automatic email archiving

Scope of personal data processing: We expressly point out that our mail system has an automated archiving procedure. All incoming and outgoing emails are digitally archived in an audit-proof manner.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data: Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR (legal obligation). The legal obligation consists of compliance with tax and commercial law requirements (e.g., Sections 146, 147 of the German Fiscal Code (AO), Sections 238, 257 of the German Commercial Code (HGB)).

Purpose of data processing: The purpose of archiving is to comply with tax law (e.g., Sections 146, 147 of the German Fiscal Code (AO) – obligation to retain emails relevant to tax law) and commercial law requirements (e.g., Sections 238, 257 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) – obligation to archive business correspondence).

Duration of storage: Our email correspondence is stored until the expiry of the retention obligations under tax and commercial law. The retention period can be up to 10 years.

Handling of application documents: If you have any questions regarding our email archiving system, please contact our data protection officer. We would also like to point out that we only consider application documents in PDF format. Zipped files (WinZip, WinRAR, 7Zip, etc.) are filtered out by our security systems and will not be delivered. We do not consider applications in Word format or other file formats and delete them unread. Please note that application documents sent unencrypted by email may be opened by third parties before they arrive in our IT systems. We assume that we may also respond to unencrypted application emails in unencrypted form. If you do not wish this to happen, please indicate this in your application email.
