Your rights as a data subject

We would first like to notify you of your rights as a data subject. These rights are set out in Articles 15 – 22 GDPR, and include:

  • The right of access (Art. 15 GDPR),
  • The right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR),
  • The right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR),
  • The right to object to data processing (Art. 21 GDPR),
  • The right to erasure / right to be forgotten (Art. 17 GDPR),
  • The right to restriction of data processing (Art. 18 GDPR).

To exercise these rights, please contact: datenschutz@fashioncenter.net . The same applies if you have any questions regarding data processing in our company or when you withdraw your consent. You also have a right of appeal to the relevant data protection supervisory authority.

Purposes and legal bases of data processing

The processing of your personal data complies with the provisions of the GDPR and all other applicable data protection regulations. Legal bases for data processing arise in particular from Art. 6 GDPR.

We use your data to initiate business, to fulfil contractual and legal obligations, to conduct the contractual relationship, to offer products and services and to consolidate customer relationships, which may include marketing and direct marketing.

Your consent also constitutes a data protection regulation. In this respect, we will inform you of the purposes of data processing and the right to withdraw your consent. If the consent also relates to the processing of special categories of personal data, we will explicitly notify you in the consent process.

Processing of special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR may only take place where necessary on the grounds of legal regulations and there is no reason to assume that your legitimate interests should prevail to the exclusion of processing such data.

Data transfers / Disclosure to third parties

We will only transmit your data to third parties within the scope of given statutory provisions or based on consent. In all other cases, information will not be transferred to third parties unless we are obliged to do so owing to mandatory legal regulations (disclosure to external bodies, including the supervisory authorities or law enforcement authorities).

Data recipients / categories of recipients

In our organisation, we ensure that only individuals who are required to process the relevant data to fulfil their contractual and legal obligations are authorised to handle personal data. For example if we have your authorisation to pass on your application to other organisation members.

In many cases, service providers assist our specialist departments to fulfil their tasks. The necessary data protection contract has been concluded with all service providers. For example the webhost providing this website.

Transfers of personal data to third countries

A transfer of data to third countries (outside the European Union or the European Economic Area) shall only take place if required by law or if you have provided your consent for such a transfer.

We do not transfer your personal data to service providers or group companies outside the European Economic Area.

Period of data storage

We store your data for as long as such is required for the relevant processing purposes. Please note that numerous retention statutory periods require that data must be stored for a specific period of time. This relates in particular to retention obligations for commercial or fiscal purposes (e.g. commercial code, tax code, etc.). The data will be routinely deleted after use unless a further period of retention is required.

We may also retain data if you have given us your permission to do so, or in the event of any legal disputes and we use the evidence within the statutory limitation period, which may be up to 30 years; the standard limitation period is 3 years.

Secure transfer of data

We implement the appropriate technical and organisational security measures to ensure the optimal protection of the data stored by us against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. The security levels are continuously reviewed in collaboration with security experts and adapted to new security standards.

The data exchange to and from our website is encrypted. We provide https as a transfer protocol for our website, and always use the current encryption protocols. It is also possible to use alternative communication channels (e.g. surface mail).

Obligation to provide data

A range of personal data is required to establish, implement and terminate the obligation and the fulfilment of the relevant contractual and legal obligations. The same applies to the use of our website and the various functions we provide.

We have summarised the relevant details in the above point. In some cases, legal regulations require data to be collected or made available. Please note that it will not be possible to process your request or execute the underlying contractual obligation without this information.

Data categories, sources and origin of data

The data we process is defined by the relevant context: it depends on whether, for example, you enter a request on our contact form or if you want to send us an application or submit a complaint.

Please note that we may also provide information at specific points for specific processing situations separately where appropriate, e.g. when uploading application documents or when making a contact request.

We collect and process the following data when you visit our website:

  • Name of the Internet service provider
  • Web browser and operating system used
  • Information on the website from which you visited us
  • The IP address by your allocated Internet service provider

For reasons of technical security (in particular to safeguard against attempts to attack of our web server), this data is stored in accordance with Article 6 (1) lit f GDPR. Anonymisation takes place no later than after seven days by abbreviating the IP address so that no reference is made to the user.

Contact form / Contact via email (Article 6 (1) lit a, b GDPR)

A contact form is available on our website which can be used to contact us electronically. If you write to us using the contact form, we will process the data you submitted in the contact form to respond to your queries and requests.

In so doing, we respect the principle of data minimisation and data avoidance, such that you only have to provide the information we require to contact you, which is your email address and the message field itself. Your IP address will also be processed for technical reasons and for legal protection. All other data is voluntary, and additional fields are optional (e.g. to provide a more detailed response to your questions).

If you contact us by email, we will process the personal information provided in the email solely for the purpose of processing your request.

  • If applicable, information on credit risk assessment
  • As a matter of principle, we collect your personal data directly from you within the framework of current contractual transactions and the underlying relationship or in the framework of the initiation of a business relationship

    Purposes and lawfulness of data processing

    When processing your personal data, the provisions of the GDPR, local data protection laws and other relevant legal provisions are always observed.

    Your personal data is exclusively processed for the execution of pre-contractual measures (e.g. for the preparation of offers for products or services) and/or for the fulfilment of contractual obligations (e.g. for the execution of our services or for sales/order/payment processing), (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) or if there is a legal obligation for processing (e.g. due to tax regulations) (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR). Personal data was originally collected for these purposes.

    Of course, your consent may also constitute a legal basis for the processing of your personal data (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). Before you grant such consent, we will inform you about the purpose of the data processing and about your right of revocation according to Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. Should the consent also refer to the processing of special categories of personal data in accordance with Art. 9 GDPR, we will explicitly point this out to you in advance.

    Your personal data will only be processed for the detection of criminal offences if the requirements of Art. 10 GDPR are met.

    Duration of data storage

    We will delete data as soon as your data is no longer needed for the above-mentioned purposes or in the event that you revoked your consent. Data will only be stored beyond the existence of the contractual relationship only in cases in which we are either obliged or entitled to do so.

    Regulations which oblige us to keep data can for example be found in commercial or tax laws. This may result in a storage period of up to ten years. For example, we may be entitled to keep data in accordance with our contractual agreement or under Article 18 of the GDPR. In addition, statutory limitation periods must be observed.

    Data recipients / categories of recipients

    In our company, we make sure that only those departments and individuals receive your data that need them to fulfil contractual and legal obligations. If applicable, your data might be transferred for solely purpose of initial business contact to other members of our company group.

    In many cases, service providers support our specialist departments in fulfilling their tasks. In this case, the necessary data protection agreements have been concluded with all service providers. Briefly describe procedures with service providers (e.g. shipping & logistics, IT- and accounting providers, credit checks, etc.)

    If applicable, the legally required transmission to certain public authorities, e.g. tax authorities, possibly also law enforcement or customs authorities remains unaffected.

    Rights of data subjects

    Your rights as a data subject are set out in Articles 15 – 22 GDPR, and include:

    If we process your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object to this data processing at any time without providing the reasons for such objection. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with direct marketing. If you object to the processing for direct marketing, we will no longer process your personal data for such purposes.

    Right to lodge a complaint

    You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

    Intention to transfer data to a third country

    We also process your data if we have a legal obligation to do so, in particular from the labour law. For special categories of personal data in accordance with article 9 the EU GDPR also provides for a balance of interests, i.e. data processing is only carried out if its protection-worthy interests do not outweigh (article 88 EU GDPR in conjunction with § 26 para. 1, 3 BDSG (new)).

    Your consent is also a permission for the data processing. If you have given us your consent (e.g. for longer storage of the application documents in our applicant pool or for the transfer of the application documents to other business units), we process your data also for this purpose (article 88 EU GDPR in conjunction with § 26 para 2 BDSG (new)). If we obtain consent from you, we will of course clarify the specific purpose of data processing and your right of withdrawal. Should the consent also refer to the processing of special categories of personal data according to article 9 of the EU GDPR, we will explicitly inform you in advance.

    We are processing and saving written and electronical communication done between you and us in the context of your application. Furthermore we are processing comments and evaluations your person concerned in conjunction to your application process (weighing of interest according article 6 para 1 EU GDPR)

    Storage duration of the data

    We save your application data until the application process is completed or we no longer need your data for the above purposes or you have revoked your consent. Should we enter into an employment relationship with you, the relevant applicant data will be stored with us if they are still relevant for the employment relationship.
    If we unfortunately have to reject your application, we will delete your application documents at the latest 6 months later.

    If you have given us your consent, to store your data for a longer period of time, in order to participate in our pool of applicants, we store your data for the duration of your given consent. We delete your data after a maximum of 12 months or if you revoke your consent.

    Recipient of the data / categories of recipients

    In our company we ensure that only the departments and persons are given access to your application data, which need it to carry out the application process or fulfil the legal obligations.
    With your consent, your applicant data will also be transmitted to other affiliated business units solely for the purpose of potential initiation of employment.

    If the applicant data are to be forwarded to other bodies (eg personnel service providers), the necessary data protection agreements have been concluded.

    Transmission in legal cases to certain public authorities is possible, e.g. Tax authorities in certain circumstances also law enforcement agencies.

    Rights of data subjects

    This includes:

You can also file a complaint against data processing with a data protection supervisory authority.

    If we process your data as a necessity to pursue or legitimate interests, you can object to this processing at any time for reasons that arise from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. We will then no longer process your personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is intended to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

    If we process your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object without giving reasons; this also applies to profiling as far as it is related to such direct advertising. If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes.

    Third country transmission / Third country transmission intention

    Data transfer to third countries (outside the European Union or the European Economic Area) only takes place if you have given us your consent or if this is required by law.

    Obligation to provide the data

    The decision as to whether or not to establish an employment relationship with you can only be made if you provide us with certain personal data, for example your CV, job references, etc.. Of course, we respect the principle of data minimization and data avoidance by providing us with only the information we need to fully review your application or which we are required to collect by law.

    Without this data, we are unable to check your application documents. Of course, you have the possibility to voluntarily provide us with further information in your application documents.
