General notes and mandatory information
Data protection
The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens. We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may have security gaps. A seamless protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Notice regarding the responsible party
The responsible party for data processing on this website is:
CleanCycle GmbH i.Gr.
Telephone: 05964 - 93 90 990
Email: info@clean-cycle.eu
The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke any consent already given at any time. A simple notification via email to us is sufficient for this. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and against direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If the data processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy notice. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims (objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR). If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection under Article 21(2) of the GDPR).
Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the location of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found at the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Service/Anschriften/anschriften_table.html (Germany) and https://www.dsb.gv.at/ueber-die-website/kontakt.html (Austria).
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in the performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place insofar as it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
This page uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser changes from 'http://' to 'https://' and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Encrypted payment transactions
If there is an obligation after the conclusion of a paid contract to provide us with your payment details (e.g., account number for direct debit authorization), this data is required for payment processing. Transactions using common payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively over an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser's address bar from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol in your browser's address bar. With encrypted communication, your payment details submitted to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, blocking, deletion and correction
You have the right at any time, under the applicable legal provisions, to request free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, the purpose of data processing, and if applicable, the right to rectification, blocking, or deletion of this data. For this and other questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address provided in the imprint.
Right to restrict processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time at the address provided in the imprint. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:
If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data but you need it for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged a complaint under Article 21(1) GDPR, a weighing of your and our interests must be carried out. As long as it is not clear whose interests outweigh, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, those data may – apart from their storage – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
Objection to advertising emails
The use of contact details published within the framework of the legal notice for the sending of unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby contradicted. The operators of the sites expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example through spam emails.
Data collection on our website
Cookies
This website uses cookies or other technologies that are absolutely necessary, as well as functional cookies, to provide you with the retrieved website along with its features, § 25 Abs. 2 Ziffer 2 Telecommunications-Digital-Services-Data-Protection-Act (TDDDG), Article 6 Abs. 1 Subparagraph 1 Letter f GDPR.
As far as you provide consent for optional services, non-essential cookies, the legal basis is § 25 Abs. 1 TDDDG, Article 6 Abs. 1 Subparagraph 1 Letter a GDPR (consent). You can obtain further information about this and the cookies or services used at any time from the consent management tool in use, and you may revoke consents freely and without disadvantage for the future at any time. However, please note that our website may not always function as intended without the cookies used.
You can view the cookies used in our tool and at any time modify and revoke any corresponding consents there. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.
Cookies that are required for the execution of the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions desired by you (e.g. shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing your surfing behaviour) are stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.
Server log files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Hostname of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address
There is no merging of this data with other data sources. The collection of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of his website – for this, the server log files must be collected.
Contact form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact information you provided, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for any follow-up questions. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. We will not share this data without your consent. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to exist (e.g. after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions – particularly retention periods – remain unaffected.
Request via email, telephone or fax
If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your request including all personal data resulting from it (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your inquiry. We do not disclose this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided that your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) and/or our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective handling of requests directed to us.
The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for the data storage ceases to apply (e.g., after processing your request is completed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
Registration on this website
You can register on our website to utilise additional features on the site. The data entered for this purpose will only be used for the purposes of the respective offer or service for which you have registered.

For important changes, such as changes to the scope of the offer or necessary technical changes, we use the email address provided at registration to inform you in this way.
The processing of the data entered during registration is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient for this. The lawfulness of the data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data collected during registration will be stored by us for as long as you are registered on our website and will then be deleted. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.
Processing of data (customer and contract data)
We only collect, process and use personal data to the extent that it is necessary for the establishment, content design, or alteration of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We only collect, process and use personal data regarding the use of our websites (usage data) to the extent that this is necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill for it.
The collected customer data will be deleted after the completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.

Applications
If you send us an application, we process your personal data provided there to handle your application and to contact you. The personal data concerning you will not be disclosed to third parties without your explicit consent, unless we are legally obligated to do so, you have requested this, or the data transfer is necessary for the initiation and execution of a contractual relationship with you or for the application process.
The legal basis is Article 6(1) first subparagraph (a), (b) of the GDPR, Article 88(1) of the GDPR, § 26(1) of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).
We delete applications no later than three months after the completion of the application process. If the data may be required for legal enforcement after the completion of the application process, data processing may occur based on the provisions of Article 6 of the GDPR, particularly for safeguarding legitimate interests under Article 6(1) first subparagraph (f) of the GDPR.
Our legitimate interest lies in asserting or defending claims.
If your application is successful, we will further process your personal data for the purposes of the employment relationship.
If you have explicitly given consent, you can revoke your declaration of consent at any time with effect for the future, so that we can delete your data.
Scope and purpose of data collection
If you send us an application, we will process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes made during job interviews, etc.), as far as this is necessary for the decision regarding the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG-new under German law (preparation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract preparation) and - if you have given consent - Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be shared within our company with individuals involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems based on § 26 BDSG-new and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.
Duration of storage
Stored server log files and IP addresses will be deleted after a maximum of seven days.
Session cookies are automatically deleted upon the end of the session. Other cookies are stored on your device, and you have control over the use and deletion of cookies, as mentioned above.
We process your data from your inquiries via email or via the contact form until your request is fully processed and resolved. After that, the information will be deleted. Please note, however, that due to a legal transaction with you, there may be commercial and tax retention obligations for certain data of at least six (§ 257 HGB) or ten (§ 147 AO) years, which may also apply to the content of contact inquiries and emails, as mentioned above.
If you apply via email, we will delete your submitted personal data and applications three months after the end of the application process. If your application is successful, we will continue to process your personal data for the purposes of the employment relationship. If you have explicitly given consent, you can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future, allowing us to delete your data, as mentioned above.
Furthermore, an annual review is conducted to determine whether data can be deleted. This is the case when the purpose of processing and the conditions of the legal basis for processing no longer exist and there is no legal obligation to retain.
Our social media presence
Data processing through social networks
We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The specific social networks we use can be found further down.
Social networks like Facebook, Google+ etc. can generally analyse your user behaviour comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or advertising banners). By visiting our social media presences, numerous data protection-related processing operations are triggered. Specifically:
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can attribute this visit to your user account. Your personal data may also be collected when you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection occurs, for example, through cookies stored on your device or by capturing your IP address.
With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. This way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you both inside and outside of the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based advertising may be shown on all devices on which you are logged in or have been logged in.
Please also note that we cannot trace all processing processes on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore also be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. You can find details about this in the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media portals.
Legal basis
Our social media appearances aim to ensure as comprehensive a presence on the internet as possible. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which must be indicated by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
Controller and assertion of rights
If you visit one of our social media presences (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered by this visit. You can assert your rights (information, rectification, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, and complaints) generally both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. against Facebook).
Please note that despite the shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are primarily determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.
Storage duration
The data we directly collect through the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for their storage ceases, you request us to delete them, you revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular, retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no influence on the storage duration of your data that is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details about this, please inform yourself directly with the operators of the social networks (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).
