General
As the operator of this website and as a company, we come into contact with your personal data. This refers to all data that says something about you and with which you can be identified. In this privacy policy, we would like to explain to you how, for what purpose and on what legal basis we process your data.
We are responsible for data processing on this website and in our company:
XPORT Communication GmbH
Stechgrundstr. 2a
01324 Dresden
Phone: 0351 2630860
E-mail: info@xport.de
General information
SSL or TLS encryption
When you enter your data on websites, place online orders or send e-mails over the Internet, you must always be prepared for unauthorized third parties to access your data. There is no complete protection against such access. However, we make every effort to protect your data in the best possible way and to close security gaps as far as possible.
An important protection mechanism is the SSL or TLS encryption of our website, which ensures that data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize the encryption by the lock icon in front of the Internet address entered in your browser and by the fact that our Internet address begins with https:// and not with http://.
How long do we store your data?
In some places in this privacy policy, we inform you about how long we or the companies that process your data on our behalf store your data. If no such information is provided, we will store your data until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies, you object to the data processing or you withdraw your consent to the data processing.
However, in the event of an objection or revocation, we may continue to process your data if at least one of the following conditions is met:
We have compelling legitimate grounds for continuing the data processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms (only if you object to the data processing; if the objection is directed against direct marketing, we cannot provide any legitimate grounds).
Data processing is necessary in order to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (does not apply if your objection is directed against direct advertising).
We are legally obliged to store your data.
In this case, we will delete your data as soon as the requirement(s) cease(s) to apply.
Data transfer to the USA
We also use tools on our website from companies that transfer your data to the USA, where it is stored and, if necessary, further processed. This is particularly important for you because your data does not enjoy the same protection in the USA as it does within the EU, where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It is therefore possible that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Your rights
Objection to data processing
IF YOU READ IN THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION THAT WE HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA AND THEREFORE BASE THIS ON ART. 6 ABS. 1 SENTENCE 1 LIT. F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT UNDER ART. 21 GDPR YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THIS. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED PROVISION. THE PREREQUISITE IS THAT YOU STATE REASONS FOR THE OBJECTION THAT ARISE FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. NO JUSTIFICATION IS REQUIRED IF THE OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING.
THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE OBJECTION IS THAT WE MAY NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR DATA. THIS ONLY DOES NOT APPLY IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS APPLIES:
THE EXCEPTIONS DO NOT APPLY IF YOUR OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST DIRECT ADVERTISING OR AGAINST PROFILING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS.
Further rights
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are based on your consent. You give this consent, for example, by ticking the appropriate box on online forms before you send the form or by allowing certain cookies when you visit our website. You can withdraw your consent at any time without giving reasons (Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR). We may then no longer process your data from the time you withdraw your consent. The only exception: We are legally obliged to retain the data for a certain period of time. Such retention periods exist in particular in tax and commercial law.
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
If you believe that we are in breach of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR. You can contact a supervisory authority in the member state of your place of residence, your place of work or the place where the alleged infringement took place. The right to lodge a complaint exists in addition to administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
Data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract must be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format if you request this. We can only transfer the data to another controller if this is technically possible.
Right to data access, erasure and rectification
In accordance with Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to receive information free of charge about what personal data we have stored about you, where the data comes from, to whom we transmit the data and for what purpose it is stored. If the data is incorrect, you have the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR); under the conditions of Art. 17 GDPR, you may request that we erase the data.
Right to restriction of processing
In certain situations, you can request that we restrict the processing of your data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR. The data may then - apart from storage - only be processed as follows:
The right to restriction of processing exists in the following situations:

In this respect, we also process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
Data collection on this website
Use of cookies
Our website places cookies on your device. These are small text files that are used for different purposes. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function at all (necessary cookies). Others are required to perform certain actions or functions on the site (functional cookies). For example, without cookies it would not be possible to use the benefits of a shopping basket in an online store. Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or to optimize advertising measures. If we use third-party services on our website, e.g. to process payment transactions, these companies may also leave cookies on your device when you access the website (so-called third-party cookies).
How do we process your data?
Session cookies are only stored on your device for the duration of a session. As soon as you close the browser, they disappear automatically. Permanent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device if you do not delete them yourself. This can, for example, lead to your user behavior being permanently analyzed. You can use the settings in your browser to influence how it handles cookies:
If you deactivate or do not allow cookies, the functionality of the website may be restricted.
If we use cookies from other companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this in this privacy policy. We also ask for your consent in this regard when you visit our website.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our online services can be used by visitors without technical problems and that all desired functions are available to them. The storage of necessary and functional cookies on your device is therefore based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. We use all other cookies on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR, provided that you give us your consent to do so. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. If you have consented to the placement of necessary and functional cookies when your consent was requested, these cookies will also be stored exclusively on the basis of your consent.

Google Analytics, a tool that analyzes user behavior and thus provides us with the necessary database for adjustments, helps us to do this. The tool provides us with information about the origin of our visitors, their page views and the time they spend on the pages, as well as the operating system they are using.
Standard processing
To collect the data, Google Analytics uses cookies, device fingerprinting or other technologies to recognize users. The data is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and summarized in a profile that can be assigned to you or your device using the IP address that is also recorded.
You can prevent Google from processing your data by installing a browser plug-in that Google itself provides: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Google itself uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies for identification purposes.

If you do not have a Facebook account: Deactivate usage-based advertising from Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.
How do we process your data?
We use Facebook Pixel on our website. This analysis tool helps us to learn more about the behavior of visitors to our website after they have clicked on one of our ads on Facebook. This enables us to measure how effective our Facebook advertising is and to align future advertising measures with the knowledge gained. The data that Facebook collects via the pixel is anonymous to us as the operator of this website. We are therefore unable to identify you as a visitor. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook. Facebook establishes a connection to your Facebook account via the pixel and also uses the data to place advertisements within and outside the network (see Facebook Data Usage Policy). In the course of storage and processing, Facebook also transfers the data to the USA and other third countries.
If you have a Facebook account, you can deactivate the remarketing function "Custom Audiences" in the settings for advertisements at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen.
If you do not have a Facebook account, you have the option of deactivating usage-based advertising from Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

On what basis do we transfer your data to the USA?
LinkedIn Insight Tag complies with the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission (see https://www.linkedin.com/le gal/l/dpa%20und%20https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/eu-sccs)
How can you prevent data processing?
By objecting to the analysis of your user behavior and targeted advertising by LinkedIn at the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out. If you have a LinkedIn account, you can also make settings there for the use of your personal data for advertising purposes.
How do we process your data?
We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag on our website. The analysis tool helps us to learn more about the visitors to our website and to adapt our online offering accordingly. If our visitors are registered with LinkedIn, we can use the tool to analyze their key professional data such as career level, company size, country, location, industry and job title. We can also measure whether they make a purchase or take another action (conversion measurement). This data is collected across all devices. Finally, LinkedIn Insight Tag offers a retargeting function that we can use to display targeted advertising to our visitors outside of our website. LinkedIn ensures that individual advertising recipients cannot be identified.
In addition to the aforementioned data, the analysis tool collects the following data from you when you visit our website: URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties and the time of access. The IP addresses are shortened or pseudonymized. The latter is done if you as a LinkedIn member are to be reached across devices.
The data collected by LinkedIn is anonymous to us as the website operator. This means that we cannot identify you as a visitor. However, LinkedIn will store your personal data on its servers in the USA and use it for its own advertising purposes.
You can prevent LinkedIn from linking the data collected on our website to your LinkedIn account by logging out of your account before you continue surfing the Internet. You can also prevent the use of your data for advertising purposes by making the appropriate settings in your account.
If you do not have a LinkedIn account, you can object to the analysis of your usage behavior and targeted advertising by LinkedIn at the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.
How long do we store your data?
LinkedIn deletes the direct identifiers of LinkedIn members after 7 days. The remaining pseudonymized data will be deleted within 180 days.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in optimizing our online offering and our advertising measures. Data processing is therefore lawful under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. In the event that you have consented to the storage of cookies, for example, or have otherwise consented to data processing, the legal basis is exclusively Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

On what basis do we transfer your data to the USA?
Campaign Monitor has so-called standard contractual clauses that permit the transfer of data to the USA: https://www.campaignmonitor.com/policies/#priv-section-5e
How do we process your data?
We use Campaign Monitor to send out our newsletter. The service manages the data of newsletter subscribers for us, sends out our newsletter and analyzes our newsletter campaigns.
If you would like to receive our newsletter, we need your e-mail address. We will also use a confirmation e-mail (double opt-in procedure) to check whether you really are the owner of this e-mail address. We do not collect any further data, or only on a voluntary basis. We use your data exclusively for sending the newsletter. They are stored on a Campaign Monitor server in the USA.
If we send a newsletter via Campaign Monitor and you open it, a file contained in the newsletter automatically connects to the Campaign Monitor servers. This tells the service that the newsletter has been opened and registers all clicks on the links it contains. It also registers whether you have made a purchase after clicking on a link, for example. In addition, Campaign Monitor records technical information such as the time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system.
With Campaign Montior, we can divide the recipients of our newsletter into categories, e.g. age, gender or place of residence. This enables us to better adapt our newsletters to the respective target group.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time.
How long do we store your data?
Once you have unsubscribed, your data will be deleted from the newsletter mailing list. Under certain circumstances, we may also place your e-mail address on a blacklist; this is necessary, for example, if we have received an objection to advertising from you. The data is then stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
Furthermore, we reserve the right to delete the data at any time once the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies or at our own discretion.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
By subscribing to the subscriber list, you consent to data processing by Campaign Monitor. This is therefore lawful on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent by unsubscribing from the newsletter or by sending us an informal message. For us, this means that we may no longer send you newsletters from this point on.

Audio and video conferencing
As a company, we are in contact with many people: Customers, business partners, service providers, etc. In addition to other means of communication, we also use online conferencing tools. Information relevant to data protection law on the provider(s) of the tools we use can be found at the end of this section. If you communicate with us via such a tool, not only we, but in particular the provider of the respective tool will process your personal data.
How do we process your data?
Online conference tools collect and store various personal data to enable participation in an online conference and its smooth implementation. In addition to registration, conference and technical data, this also applies to certain communication content.
Registration data: Your e-mail address and/or telephone number and any other data you provide when registering for the conference.
Conference data: Start, end and duration of your participation in the conference, the number of participants and other conference metadata.
Technical data: IP address, MAC address, device ID, device type, operating system and version, client version, camera type, microphone or loudspeaker and the type of connection.
Communication content: Cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards and other information shared while using the service.
For details on data processing, please refer to the data protection declarations of the respective conference tool provider.
How long do we store your data?
As your communication partner, we delete your data from our systems as soon as one of the following points occurs:
The purpose of data processing no longer applies.
You ask us to delete the data.
You revoke your consent to storage.
This only does not apply if we are legally obliged to retain the data.
Cookies remain on your end device until you delete them.
The providers of conference tools also store your data for their own purposes. Please contact the providers directly to find out what this means for the duration of the storage of your data.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
If we already have a contractual relationship or if you wish to conclude a contract with us, we use conference tools to fulfill the contract or to inform you about our services or products. In this respect, data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. Otherwise, the use of conference tools serves the purpose of simple and fast communication, without which we would not be able to run our company efficiently. We therefore also have a legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Another legal basis may be your consent. In this case, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR is relevant. This basis ceases to apply in the future if you withdraw your consent.

Own services / other
Handling applicant data
If you would like to work for us, we will be happy to receive your application. We treat all personal data submitted as strictly confidential. This also applies to data that we only collect later during the application process.
How do we process your data?
We store and use all data that we collect as part of the application process, insofar as this is necessary for the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship. In addition to contact and communication data and application documents, this also applies, for example, to notes that we take during job interviews. We only pass on your data within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application.
If your application is successful, we will store the data required to carry out the employment relationship in our data processing systems.
If we are currently unable to offer you a suitable position, we will be happy to add your data to our applicant pool with your consent. This gives us the opportunity to contact you if a vacancy arises that matches your profile.
How long do we store your data?
If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain your documents and other application data for up to 6 months after the application process has ended. The reason for this is that we may need the data for evidence purposes in the event of a legal dispute. After this period has expired, we delete the data and destroy the documents. If a legal dispute is actually imminent or already pending, we will delete the data and documents if they are no longer required for evidentiary purposes.
We delete data in the applicant pool no later than 2 years after consent has been granted. If you withdraw your consent before this period expires, we will delete it earlier.
The deletion of your data always presupposes that we are not legally obliged to store it for longer.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
We process your applicant data on the basis of Section 26 BDSG-new (initiation of an employment relationship) and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR (general contract initiation).
The same applies if your application is successful.
If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we have a legitimate interest in using your data for evidence purposes in a possible legal dispute. The data processing is therefore based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
If you have expressly consented to the storage of your data, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
