Data collection on our Website
Cookies
Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain in your device’s memory until you delete them. These cookies make it possible to recognize your browser when you next visit the site.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies which are necessary to allow electronic communications or to provide certain functions you wish to use (such as the shopping cart) are stored pursuant to Art. 6 paragraph 1, letter f of DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure an optimized service provided free of technical errors. If other cookies (such as those used to analyze your surfing behavior) are also stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.
Server log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us in "server log files". 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
These data will not be combined with data from other sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.
Contact form
Should you send us questions via the contact form, we will collect the data entered on the form, including the contact details you provide, to answer your question and any follow-up questions. We do not share this information without your permission.
We will, therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1)(a) DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.
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). Any mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain unaffected by this provision.
Bewerberdaten
Datenschutzinformationen für Bewerber
Wir bieten Ihnen die Möglichkeit, sich bei uns zu bewerben (z. B. per E-Mail, postalisch oder via Online-Bewerberformular). Im Folgenden informieren wir Sie über Umfang, Zweck und Verwendung Ihrer im Rahmen des Bewerbungsprozesses erhobenen personenbezogenen Daten. Wir versichern, dass die Erhebung, Verarbeitung und Nutzung Ihrer Daten in Übereinstimmung mit geltendem Datenschutzrecht und allen weiteren gesetzlichen Bestimmungen erfolgt und Ihre Daten streng vertraulich behandelt werden.
Umfang und Zweck der Datenerhebung
Wenn Sie uns eine Bewerbung zukommen lassen, verarbeiten wir Ihre damit verbundenen personenbezogenen Daten (z. B. Kontakt- und Kommunikationsdaten, Bewerbungsunterlagen, Notizen im Rahmen von Bewerbungsgesprächen etc.), soweit dies zur Entscheidung über die Begründung eines Beschäftigungsverhältnisses erforderlich ist. Rechtsgrundlage hierfür ist § 26 BDSG nach deutschem Recht (Anbahnung eines Beschäftigungsverhältnisses), Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO (allgemeine Vertragsanbahnung) und – sofern Sie eine Einwilligung erteilt haben – Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO. Die Einwilligung ist jederzeit widerrufbar. Ihre personenbezogenen Daten werden innerhalb unseres Unternehmens ausschließlich an Personen weitergegeben, die an der Bearbeitung Ihrer Bewerbung beteiligt sind.
Sofern die Bewerbung erfolgreich ist, werden die von Ihnen eingereichten Daten auf Grundlage von § 26 BDSG und Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO zum Zwecke der Durchführung des Beschäftigungsverhältnisses in unseren Datenverarbeitungssystemen gespeichert.
Aufbewahrungsdauer der Daten
Sofern wir Ihnen kein Stellenangebot machen können, Sie ein Stellenangebot ablehnen oder Ihre Bewerbung zurückziehen, behalten wir uns das Recht vor, die von Ihnen übermittelten Daten auf Grundlage unserer berechtigten Interessen (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO) bis zu 6 Monate ab der Beendigung des Bewerbungsverfahrens (Ablehnung oder Zurückziehung der Bewerbung) bei uns aufzubewahren. Anschließend werden die Daten gelöscht und die physischen Bewerbungsunterlagen vernichtet.
Die Aufbewahrung dient insbesondere Nachweiszwecken im Falle eines Rechtsstreits. Sofern ersichtlich ist, dass die Daten nach Ablauf der 6-Monatsfrist erforderlich sein werden (z. B. aufgrund eines drohenden oder anhängigen Rechtsstreits), findet eine Löschung erst statt, wenn der Zweck für die weitergehende Aufbewahrung entfällt.
Eine längere Aufbewahrung kann außerdem stattfinden, wenn Sie eine entsprechende Einwilligung (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO) erteilt haben oder wenn gesetzliche Aufbewahrungspflichten der Löschung entgegenstehen.
Talentpool
Berghof möchte auch nach einem nicht erfolgreichen Bewerbungsverfahren gern mit Ihnen in Kontakt bleiben, sofern Sie auch damit einverstanden sind. Hierfür haben wir einen Talentpool eingerichtet. Wenn Sie sich bei uns bewerben bitten wir Sie im Verlauf des Bewerbungsverfahrens um Einwilligung in die Aufnahme Ihrer Bewerberdaten.
Im Falle der Aufnahme werden alle Dokumente und Angaben aus der Bewerbung in den Talentpool übernommen, um Sie im Falle von passenden Vakanzen zu kontaktieren:
- Wir gleichen Ihre Bewerberdaten mit den Anforderungen anderer vakanter Stellen in unserem Unternehmen ab.
- Bei Übereinstimmung mit einer geeigneten freien Position kontaktieren wir Sie und geben Ihnen die Möglichkeit, ein neues Bewerbungsverfahren einzuleiten.
Die Aufnahme in den Talentpool geschieht ausschließlich auf Grundlage Ihrer ausdrücklichen Einwilligung (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO). Die Abgabe der Einwilligung ist freiwillig und steht in keinem Bezug zum laufenden Bewerbungsverfahren.
Der Betroffene kann seine Einwilligung jederzeit widerrufen. In diesem Falle werden die Daten aus dem Talentpool unwiderruflich gelöscht, sofern keine gesetzlichen Aufbewahrungsgründe vorliegen.
Die Daten aus dem Talentpool werden spätestens zwei Jahre nach Erteilung der Einwilligung unwiderruflich gelöscht.
Social Media
Facebook plugins (Like & Share buttons)
Our website includes plugins for the social network Facebook, Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA. The Facebook plugins can be recognized by the Facebook logo or the Like button on our site. For an overview of Facebook plugins, see developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
When you visit our site, a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server is established via the plugin. This enables Facebook to receive information that you have visited our site from your IP address. If you click on the Facebook “Like button” while you are logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of our site to your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate visits to our site with your user account. Please note that, as the operator of this site, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted to Facebook or of how Facebook uses these data. For more information, please see Facebook’s privacy policy at de-de.facebook.com/policy.php.
If you do not want Facebook to associate your visit to our site with your Facebook account, please log out of your Facebook account.
Twitter plugin
Functions of the Twitter service have been integrated into our website and app. These features are offered by Twitter Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA. When you use Twitter and the “Retweet” function, the websites you visit are connected to your Twitter account and made known to other users. In doing so, data will also be transferred to Twitter. We would like to point out that, as the provider of these pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how it will be used by Twitter. For more information on Twitter’s privacy policy, please go to twitter.com/privacy.
Your privacy preferences with Twitter can be modified in your account settings at twitter.com/account/settings.
Google+ plugin
Our pages use Google+ functions. It is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Collection and disclosure of information: Using the Google +1 button allows you to publish information worldwide. By means of the Google+ button, you and other users can receive custom content from Google and our partners. Google stores both the fact that you have +1’d a piece of content and information about the page you were viewing when you clicked +1. Your +1 can be displayed together with your profile name and photo in Google services, for example in search results or in your Google profile, or in other places on websites and advertisements on the Internet.
Google records information about your +1 activities to improve Google services for you and others. To use the Google+ button, you need a globally visible, public Google profile that must contain at least the name chosen for the profile. This name is used by all Google services. In some cases, this name may also replace a different name that you have used to share content via your Google account. The identity of your Google profile can be shown to users who know your email address or other information that can identify you.
Use of collected data: In addition to the uses mentioned above, the information you provide is used in accordance with the applicable Google data protection policies. Google may publish summary statistics about users’ +1 activity or share it with users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers, or affiliate websites.
LinkedIn plugin
Our site uses functions from the LinkedIn network. The service is provided by LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Each time one of our pages containing LinkedIn features is accessed, your browser establishes a direct connection to the LinkedIn servers. LinkedIn is informed that you have visited our web pages from your IP address. If you use the LinkedIn “Recommend” button and are logged into your LinkedIn account, it is possible for LinkedIn to associate your visit to our website to your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of these pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how it will be used by LinkedIn.
More information can be found in the LinkedIn privacy policy at www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.
XING plugin
Our website uses features provided by the XING network. The provider is XING AG, Dammtorstraße 29-32, 20354 Hamburg, Germany.
Each time one of our pages containing XING features is accessed, your browser establishes a direct connection to the XING servers. To the best of our knowledge, no personal data is stored in the process. In particular, no IP addresses are stored nor is usage behavior evaluated.
For more information about data protection and the XING Share button, please see the XING privacy policy at www.xing.com/app/share
YouTube plugin
Our site uses for the integration of videos the provider YouTube LLC , 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, represented by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Normally, when you visit a page with embedded videos, your IP address is sent to YouTube and cookies are installed on your computer. However, we have integrated our YouTube videos with the enhanced data protection mode (in this case, YouTube still contacts Google's Double Click service, but according to Google's privacy policy, personal data is not evaluated). As a result, YouTube no longer stores information about visitors unless they watch the video. If you click on the video, your IP address will be transmitted to YouTube and YouTube will know that you viewed the video. If you are logged in to YouTube, this information is also associated with your user account (you can prevent this by logging out of YouTube before viewing the video).
We are not aware of or have any influence on the collection and use of your data by YouTube. For more information, please refer to YouTube's privacy policy at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ In addition, we refer you to our general presentation in this data protection declaration for the general handling and deactivation of cookies.

CleverReach is a service which organizes and analyzes the distribution of newsletters. The data you provide (e.g. your email address) to subscribe to our newsletter will be stored on CleverReach servers in Germany.
Sending our newsletters with CleverReach enables us to analyze the behavior of newsletter recipients. Among other things, we can find out how many recipients have opened the email containing the newsletter and how often various links contained therein are clicked. With the help of conversion tracking, we can also analyze whether a predefined action (such as the purchase of a product on our website) takes place after clicking on the link in the newsletter.

The data provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to distribute the newsletter until you cancel your subscription when said data will be deleted from our servers and those of CleverReach.
