3. General notes and mandatory information

Data protection

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.

When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Note on the responsible party

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

AssistMe GmbH
Bachstr. 12
10555 Berlin

Phone: +49 176 42289366
E-mail: info@assistme.io

The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses or similar).

Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this data protection declaration, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO or Art. 9 (2) lit. a DSGVO, if special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9 (1) DSGVO. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information in your terminal device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally based on Section 25 (1) TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. Furthermore, if your data is required for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, we process it on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO. Furthermore, the data processing may be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Information about the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that U.S. authorities (e.g. intelligence services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on U.S. servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 DSGVO).

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F DSGVO, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM 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 POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSERTING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21(1) DSGVO).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21 (2) OF THE GERMAN DATA PROTECTION ACT).

Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects shall 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 place of the alleged violation. The right of appeal is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, deletion and correction

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion. If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO, a balancing of your and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, 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, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Objection to advertising e-mails

The use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation for the transmission of advertising and information material not expressly requested is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.

Data processing

For communication with our customers, we use online conference tools, among others. The tools we use in detail are listed below. When you communicate with us via video or audio conferencing over the Internet, your personal data is collected and processed by us and the provider of the respective conferencing tool.

The conferencing tools thereby collect all data that you provide/enter to use the tools (email address and/or your phone number). Furthermore, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, start and end (time) of participation in the conference, number of participants and other “context information” related to the communication process (metadata).

Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes all technical data required to handle the online communication. This includes in particular IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or speaker, and the type of connection.

If content is exchanged, uploaded or otherwise made available within the tool, this is also stored on the servers of the tool providers. Such content includes, but is not limited to, cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared while using the Service.

Please note that we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the tools used. Our options are largely based on the company policy of the respective provider. For further information on data processing by the conference tools, please refer to the privacy statements of the respective tools used, which we have listed below this text.

Purpose and legal basis

The conference tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to offer certain services to our customers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO). Furthermore, the use of the tools serves the general simplification and acceleration of communication with us or our company (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO).

8. applicant data

Handling of applicant data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by e-mail, postal mail or via online application form). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data will be carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.
Scope and purpose of data collection

When you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide whether to establish an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO (general contract initiation) and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO. The consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Article 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.
Retention period of the data

If we are unable to make you a job offer, if you reject a job offer or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have provided for us on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. This storage serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will not be deleted until the purpose for continued storage no longer applies.

Longer storage may also take place if you have given your corresponding consent (Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO) or if legal storage obligations prevent deletion.
Inclusion in the applicant pool

If we do not make you a job offer, it may be possible to include you in our applicant pool. If you are accepted, all documents and information from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool so that we can contact you in the event of suitable vacancies.

Inclusion in the applicant pool takes place exclusively on the basis of your express consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). The provision of consent is voluntary and is not related to the current application process. The data subject may revoke his/her consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, unless there are legal reasons for retention.

The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been given.

Functions used in the collection of personal data:

OneDrive

We have integrated OneDrive on this website. The provider is Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA (hereinafter “OneDrive”).

OneDrive allows us to include an upload area on our website where you can upload content. When you upload content, it is stored on OneDrive’s servers. When you enter our website, a connection to OneDrive is also established so that OneDrive can determine that you have visited our website.

The use of OneDrive is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in a reliable upload area on its website. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is based exclusively on Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO; the consent can be revoked at any time.

Microsoft Teams

We use Microsoft Teams. The provider is Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA. For details on data processing, please refer to the privacy policy of Microsoft Teams:

https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement.

Purposes of data processing

To the extent necessary, we process your personal data solely to ensure an effective customer or vendor relationship with you. In this context, your data will be processed in order to be able to use the respective tool in question for the purpose of communication and collaboration. Furthermore, your data may be processed for information security purposes and to ensure the functional reliability and stability of the IT systems.

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis depends on the reason for your cooperation with us. Below is a description of the legal bases on which we process your personal data when you use M365 applications. Please note that this information is only examples and not a complete or exhaustive list of the possible legal bases for data processing.

Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit.a DSGVO).
We process certain personal data only with your prior, explicit and free consent, e.g. when you participate in a survey via Microsoft Forms. The recording of Teams meetings for use outside of the livestream is also based solely on your consent. Consent is given by accepting the meeting invitation and subsequently attending the meeting. There is neither a contractual nor a legal obligation to provide the data. The consent is voluntary and can be revoked in whole or in part at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the processing remains unaffected until the consent is revoked.

Fulfillment of a contract with you (Art. 6 para. 1 lit.b DSGVO).

Your data will be processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b) DSGVO if the use is based on a contract.

Fulfillment of a legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 lit.c DSGVO).

We are subject to a number of legal requirements and may process your personal data to fulfill our legal obligations. For example, we are legally obliged to provide information to certain public bodies (including law enforcement agencies) upon request.

Safeguarding our legitimate interests or those of a third party (Art. 6 para. 1 lit.f DSGVO).

We process your personal data to safeguard our legitimate interests or the interests of third parties on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. However, this is only done if your interests as a data subject do not take precedence over our interests in an individual case. Legitimate interests pursued in the use of M365 are: effective conduct of meetings, optimization of business processes, protection of the vital interests of our employees and thus the fulfillment of our duty of care as an employer by reducing the number of presence appointments during the Corona pandemic.

Recipients or categories of recipients of personal data

We generally ensure that your personal data is only accessible to a limited number of authorized individuals who need to know that data in order to provide the above processing purposes.

Where necessary, your data may be shared with other AssistMe companies, other traffic management companies, school boards, payment service providers or other companies used to provide the service or process the contract.

As part of processing your requests and your use of our services, we also engage external EDP and IT contractors. These service providers are contractually obligated to comply with data protection regulations and process personal data only in accordance with our instructions.

The personal data we collect or process about you may be transferred to recipients who may be located inside or outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). For recipients located outside the EEA, we have taken appropriate measures to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Data Protection Act, such as the conclusion of appropriate EU Commission model contractual clauses, recognized codes of conduct or recognized certification mechanisms (Article 42 et seq. GDPR). Furthermore, where necessary, we conduct careful assessments of the legal systems of the third countries concerned and take additional measures in line with the ECJ ruling on the transfer of personal data to third countries (“Schrems II”).

For the provision of the service and the associated data processing is Microsoft Corporation as processor. Where individual data is processed outside the EU, Microsoft ensures data protection compliance by agreeing to the EU standard contractual clauses. For more information on Microsoft’s data processing, please refer to the MS Trust Center and the MS Privacy Policy.

Duration of data storage

We delete or anonymize your personal data as soon as they are no longer required for the purposes for which we collected or used them in accordance with the above paragraphs, or are no longer required to be retained due to a statutory retention period. As a rule, we store your personal data for the duration of the contractual relationship with you. Log files are deleted after 90 days at the latest, unless we are entitled or obliged to retain them for a longer period.

Automated decision making

To conduct meetings via teams, we generally do not use automated decision-making pursuant to Art. 22 DSGVO. Should we use these procedures in individual cases, we will inform you separately about this in advance, provided this is required by law.

Data security

We have taken technical and organizational measures suitable to prevent unauthorized or unlawful disclosure of your personal data, unauthorized or unlawful access to your personal data, or loss, destruction, alteration or damage to your personal data, whether accidental or unlawful. These measures ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks presented by the processing and the nature of the personal data to be protected. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
