Privacy policy

We look forward to your visit to the CuxHafEn GmbH website

The protection of your personal data is an important concern for us, which is why we treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. The legal basis for data protection can be found in the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Digital Services Act (DDG).

It is possible to use our website without providing personal data. Different regulations may apply to the use of individual areas of our website, which are then explained separately below. In this respect, the following regulations inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the collection, use and processing of personal data as well as your rights in this regard.

1. earmarked collection, processing and use of personal data 

We only collect, use and manage your personal data on our website if there is a legitimate interest in the operation of the website, in particular

  • for answering enquiries by e-mail or contact form. In this case, the information provided by the user is stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry. We do not pass on this data without your consent. The data collected in this way is also not compared with data that may be collected by other components of our website;
  • for the provision of services and/or information intended for you;
  • for the transfer of personal data that is used internally for administrative purposes;
  • for the operation and administration of our websites;
  • if you have consented to its use for the specific, legitimate purposes stated.
  • "Information on the handling of your personal data - Art. 13 GDPR"

We observe the principle of data use for a specific purpose and only collect, process and use your personal data for the purposes for which you have provided it to us.

2. storage of personal data

In compliance with the provisions of data protection law, we will generally delete the personal data stored about you, even without your intervention, if knowledge of it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was stored, unless there are legal obligations to the contrary.

3. transfer of data to third parties 
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

  • you have given your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR,
  • the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
  • in the event that there is a legal obligation for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, and
  • this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

4. data protection for applications and in the application process
CuxHafEn GmbH collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits relevant application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If CuxHafEn GmbH concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If CuxHafEn GmbH does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, unless deletion conflicts with any other legitimate interests of the controller. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

5 Use of cookies

The Internet pages use so-called cookies. These 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 used to recognise your browser during a visit when you switch from one page to another. This is required, for example, on some of our project websites when logging into an internal user area or on the company website for setting the language version. These temporarily stored cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit.

Other cookies (so-called persistent cookies) remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit. We use this exclusively in the context of user tracking by an analysis tool. You can specifically deactivate the recording of your user behaviour by the analysis tool. Please read the detailed explanations in section "8. Analysis tool".

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted in the case of the above-mentioned session cookies.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing your surfing behaviour) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.

6. 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

  • IP address
  • Directory protection user
  • the date
  • Time of the server request
  • Pages accessed
  • protocols
  • Status code, whether the access was successful
  • Amount of data sent
  • Referrer, i.e. the page from which the person came
  • Browser used (user agent)
  • Host name called up

This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. If you have more detailed questions about the storage of log files and their storage duration, we can provide you with information about this

7. analysis tools

Matomo (formerly Piwik)

This website uses the open source web analysis service Matomo, which we operate on the server space we have rented from our provider in Germany. Matomo uses so-called "cookies". These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analysed. For this purpose, the information generated by the cookie about the use of this website is stored on a server space rented by us. The IP address is anonymised before storage.

Matomo cookies remain on your end device until you delete them.
Matomo cookies are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the anonymised analysis of user behaviour in order to optimise its website or, in the case of projects, to report to the client or funding body on the use of the project website. No individual user data is passed on for this purpose. You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software. However, as this also deactivates technically necessary cookies, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

If you do not agree to the storage and use of your data by the web analysis programme, you can deactivate the storage and use again using the following function.
