General Information

The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal information when you visit our website. Personal data is any data that personally identifies you. Detailed information on data protection can be found in our Privacy Policy.

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

If you use this website, various personal data will be collected. Personal information is information that personally identifies you. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.
We point out that the data transmission in the Internet (eg in the communication by E-Mail) can exhibit security gaps. A complete protection of the data from access by third parties is not possible.

2. Collection and storage of personal data as well as the nature and purpose of their use

a) When you visit the website

When you visit our website www.evosys-laser.com , the browser used on your device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file.

The access logs of the web server log which page views took place at which time. They include the following information: IP, directory protection user, date, time, pages accessed, logs, status code, dataset, referer, user agent, hostname invoked.

The IP addresses are stored anonymously. For this, the last three digits are removed, ie 127.0.0.1 becomes 127.0.0. *. IPv6 addresses are also anonymized. The anonymized IP addresses are kept for 60 days. Information about the directory protection user used will be anonymized after one day.

Error logs that log pageview errors are deleted after seven days. In addition to the error messages, these include the accessing IP address and, depending on the error, the website accessed.

Access via FTP is logged anonymously and kept for 60 days.

The email logs for sending e-mails from the web environment are anonymized after one day and then kept for 60 days. When anonymizing all data to the sender / recipient, etc. are removed. Only the data at the time of sending and the information on how the e-mail was processed are retained (queue ID or not sent).

Mail logs for sending via our mail servers will be deleted after four weeks. The longer retention period is necessary for ensuring the functionality of the mail services and spam fighting.

The data mentioned are processed for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring a smooth connection of the website,
  • Ensuring comfortable use of our website,
  • Evaluation of system security and stability as well
  • for further administrative purposes.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above. In no case we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about you. There is no merge of this data with other data sources. 

To manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and related consents, we use the consent tool “Real Cookie Banner”. Details on how “Real Cookie Banner” works can be found at https://devowl.io/rcb/data-processing/.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context are Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR and Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.

The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we will not be able to manage your consents.

b) By using our contact form

If you have any questions, we offer you the possibility to contact us via a form provided on the website. It is necessary to provide a valid e-mail address, name, subject and request, as well as consent to the privacy policy, so that we know who the request came from and to respond to it. Further information can be provided voluntarily. 

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored in order to process the request and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this information without your consent.

The processing of the data entered into the contact form takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal message by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data entered by you in the contact form remains with us until you ask us to delete, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage is omitted (eg after completion of your request). Mandatory statutory provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

c) When using our applicant management system
We use a digital applicant management system to accept and process applicant data.

To ensure the protection of applicant data against unauthorized access, we only accept applications (form entries and attachments) via this applicant management system. The data is transmitted in encrypted form, see section 7 Data security. Applications that reach us by e-mail or post cannot be considered for this reason and will be returned to the sender without comment.

Our applicant management system is technically operated and maintained by an external order processor as part of an order data processing commissioned by us. The external order processor guarantees us the secure storage, processing and deletion of the applicant data. The processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of the statutory provisions pursuant to Art. 28 DSGVO within the framework of a corresponding contractual agreement with the order processor.

Further processing of your data is based on the fulfillment of pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 (1) lit b DSBVO). We process your data exclusively for the purpose of finding personnel for the respective advertised position or unsolicited application. After completion of the application process, your data will be deleted from our system in the event of a rejection in compliance with the statutory deadlines. Your data will not be passed on to third parties.

If the applicant gives his or her consent by checking the box “I authorize the use of my entire application documents also for further application processes (talent pool). The consent is revocable with effect for the future. (optional)”, the application will be transferred to the talent pool. This means that the application will be processed for a longer period of time beyond the current application procedure. The further processing of your data is thus based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). We process your data exclusively for the purpose of finding personnel for the respective advertised position or unsolicited application. After expiry of the storage period (3 months from consent), your data will be deleted from our system in the event of a rejection. Your data will not be passed on to third parties. You can revoke your consent to be included in the talent pool at any time. To do so, simply send an informal message by e-mail to datenschutz@evosys-laser.com. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. Please also refer to paragraphs 5. and 6. of this privacy policy.

If the applicant gives his/her consent by ticking the box “The application may be forwarded within the group of companies. The consent is revocable with effect for the future (optional).” the application will be forwarded within the group of companies (currently Evosys Laser GmbH, www.evosys-laser.com/ and Evosys Laser Services GmbH, www.evosys-services.com/). This means that the application will not only be processed by Evosys Laser GmbH, but also by Evosys Laser Services GmbH. The further processing of your data is therefore based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). We process your data exclusively for the purpose of recruiting for the respective advertised position or unsolicited application. You can revoke your consent to the transfer within the group of companies at any time. All you need to do is send an informal email to datenschutz@evosys-laser.com. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. Please also refer to paragraphs 5 and 6 of this privacy policy.

3. Disclosure of data

A transfer of your personal data to third parties for purposes other than those listed below or further described in this privacy policy (eg point 10) purposes does not take place. We will share your personal information with third parties if:

  • You according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO have given express consent to this
  • the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO is required to assert, exercise or defend legal claims and there is no reason to believe that you have an overriding interest in not disclosing your data,
  • in the event that disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1lit. c DSGVO there is a legal obligation, as permitted by law and in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b DSGVO is required for the settlement of contractual relationships with you.
