Privacy Policy

1. PRIVACY POLICY

1.1. An overview of data protection

1.1.1. General information

The following information will provide you with an easy to navigate overview of what will happen with your personal data when you visit this website. The term “personal data” comprises all data that can be used to personally identify you. For detailed information about the subject matter of data protection, please consult our Data Protection Declaration, which we have included beneath this copy.

Data recording on this website
Who is the responsible party for the recording of data on this website (i.e., the “controller”)?

The data processing controller on this website is:

codafish><> GmbH
Am Altenfeldsdeich 56
25371 Seestermühe
Germany
Phone: +1 888 9263234

How do we record your data?

We collect your data as a result of your sharing of your data with us. This may, for instance be information you enter into our contact form.

Other data shall be recorded by our IT systems automatically or after you consent to its recording during your website visit. This data comprises primarily technical information (e.g., web browser, operating system, or time the site was accessed). This information is recorded automatically when you access this website.

What are the purposes we use your data for?

A portion of the information is generated to guarantee the error free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyze your user patterns.

What rights do you have as far as your information is concerned?

You have the right to receive information about the source, recipients, and purposes of your archived personal data at any time without having to pay a fee for such disclosures. You also have the right to demand that your data are rectified or eradicated. If you have consented to data processing, you have the option to revoke this consent at any time, which shall affect all future data processing. Moreover, you have the right to demand that the processing of your data be restricted under certain circumstances. Furthermore, you have the right to log a complaint with the competent supervising agency.

Please do not hesitate to contact us at any time if you have questions about this or any other data protection related issues.

1.1.3. Analysis tools and tools provided by third parties

There is a possibility that your browsing patterns will be statistically analyzed when your visit this website. Such analyses are performed primarily with what we refer to as analysis programs.
For detailed information about these analysis programs please consult our Data Protection Declaration below.

1.4.3. Data processing outside the EU

No processing of data if the level of data protection is inadequate

The GDPR prohibits the processing of personal data outside the EU if the level of data protection in what are known as “third countries” is inadequate (Articles 44 to 49 GDPR). Most notably, the countries that do not have an adequate level of data protection include the USA.

When it comes to processing data, the United States is even relevant for European companies: that is where global players such as Facebook, Microsoft and Google are based. The admissibility of data processing in the USA was primarily dependent on the Privacy Shield and standard contractual clauses. The other grounds for admissibility play a less significant role.

However, the ECJ ruling of 16 July 2020 resulted in both of these legal bases practically being invalidated (with only a narrow margin of discretion still remaining).

No data protection for EU citizens in the USA

As an effective level of data protection based on the European standard could not be guaranteed, the ECJ ruled that the Privacy Shield is inadmissible and the standard contractual clauses are only admissible as a basis for data transfers to the USA if an effective level of data protection is provided.

With regard to the United States, it was argued that US authorities have inspection rights that EU citizens are unable to oppose. In the landmark case, the claimant cited Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA 702), which permits access to the data of non-US citizens via electronic communication services, even without a court order or any legal protection.

For you, as a website user, this is important: In the ECJ’s opinion, the requirements of the Privacy Shield were no longer being met. The European Commission would be violating the core fundamental rights of EU citizens to a private life, data protection and an effective remedy if it allowed data transfers to the USA in spite of FISA 702 and the US authorities’ other access rights.

Data processing only possible with consent

In the absence of either an adequacy decision in accordance with Article 45(3) or appropriate safeguards in accordance with Article 46,including binding internal data protection rules, a transfer or a set of transfers of personal data to a third country or an international organisation is still permitted if the data subject has given their explicit consent for the proposed data transfer after being informed of the potential risks of such data transfers that could arise for them in the absence of an adequacy decision and without any appropriate safeguards. This information is provided in this chapter. Without using these services, which are explained in the Privacy Policy below, use of our website is only possible to a limited extent.

1.2. Hosting and Content Delivery Networks (CDN)

1.2.1. External Hosting

We are using our own servers for our website.

1.2.2. WPRocket CDN

We use the “WPRocket CDN” service provided by INPI.,2 rue Kellermann, 59100 Roubaix, France. (hereinafter referred to as “WPRocket”).

WPRocket offers a content delivery network with DNS that is available worldwide. As a result, the information transfer that occurs between your browser and our website is technically routed via WPRocket’s network. This enables WPRocket to analyze data transactions between your browser and our website and to work as a filter between our servers and potentially malicious data traffic from the Internet. In this context, WPRocket may also use cookies or other technologies deployed to recognize Internet users, which shall, however, only be used for the herein described purpose.

The use of WPRocket is based on our legitimate interest in a provision of our website offerings that is as error free and secure as possible (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European Commission. Details can be found here:

https://wp-rocket.me/legal/

Execution of a contract data processing agreement

In order to guarantee processing in compliance with data protection regulations, we have concluded an order processing contract with Cloudflare.

1.3. General information and mandatory information

1.3.1. Storage duration

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you assert a justified 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., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

1.3.2. Information on data transfer to the USA and other non-EU countries

Among other things, tools of companies domiciled in the United States or other from a data protection perspective non-secure non-EU countries, are integrated into our website. If these tools are active, your personal data may potentially be transferred to these non-EU countries and may be processed there. We must point out that in these countries, a data protection level that is comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed. For instance, U.S. enterprises are under a mandate to release personal data to the security agencies and you as the data subject do not have any litigation options to defend yourself in court. Hence, it cannot be ruled out that U.S. agencies (e.g., the Secret Service) may process, analyze, and permanently archive your personal data for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.

1.3.3. Revocation of your consent to the processing of data

A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.

1.3.4. Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 SECT. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 SECT. 1 GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 SECT. 2 GDPR).

1.3.5. Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourses.

1.3.6. Right to data portability

You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we automatically process on the basis of your consent or in order to fulfil a contract be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.

1.3.7. SSL and/or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.

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

1.3.8. Information about, rectification and eradication of data

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to at any time demand information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data rectified or eradicated. If you have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.

1.3.9. Right to demand processing restrictions

You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time. The right to demand restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data in lieu of demanding the eradication of this data.
If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its eradication.
– If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception of their archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.

1.3.10. Rejection of unsolicited e-mails

We herewith object to the use of contact information published in conjunction with the mandatory information to be provided in our Site Notice to send us promotional and information material that we have not expressly requested.

However, Facebook archives the information and processes it, so that it is possible to make a connection to the respective user profile and Facebook is in a position to use the data for its own promotional purposes in compliance with the Facebook Data Usage Policy. This enables Facebook to display ads on Facebook pages as well as in locations outside of Facebook. We as the operator of this website have no control over the use of such data.

The use of Facebook Pixel is based on Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in effective advertising campaigns, which also include social media. If a corresponding agreement has been requested (e.g., an agreement to the storage of cookies), the processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the agreement can be revoked at any time.

This website uses the Insight tag from LinkedIn. This service is provided by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Data processing by LinkedIn Insight tag

We use the LinkedIn Insight tag to obtain information about visitors to our website. Once a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can analyze the key occupational data (e.g., career level, company size, country, location, industry, job title) of our website visitors to help us better target our site to the relevant audience. We can also use LinkedIn Insight tags to measure whether visitors to our websites make a purchase or perform other actions (conversion measurement).

According to LinkedIn, no identification of the advertising addressee takes place.

LinkedIn itself also collects log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser characteristics and time of access). The IP addresses are shortened or (if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymized). The direct identifiers of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymized data will then be deleted within 180 days.

The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be assigned by us as a website operator to specific individuals. LinkedIn will store the personal data collected from website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it for its own promotional activities. For details, please see LinkedIn’s privacy policy at : https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig.

Legal basis

The use of LinkedIn Insight is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including social media.

4. PRIVACY POLICY FOR APPLICANTS

You disclose personal data as part of your application. In this Privacy Policy, we would like to give you detailed information on how we process your data and on which rights you have in connection with this data processing.

4.1. Controller

The Data Controller is

codafish ><> GmbH
Am Altenfeldsdeich 56
25371 Seestermühe
Germany

Phone: +49 30 666384800
Email: hello@codafish.net.

4.2. Purposes of processing and legal basis

We process personal data concerning you for the purpose of your job application to the extent that this is necessary in order to make a decision on whether to enter into an employment contract with you. The legal basis for this is Article 26(1) in conjunction with Article 26(8) second sentence of the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, BDSG).

We may also process personal data concerning you to the extent that this is necessary in order to defend legal claims against us arising from the application process. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; for example, legitimate interests include the burden of proof in proceedings in accordance with the German General Act on Equal Treatment (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz, AGG).

If we enter into an employment with you, we also process the personal data that we have already received from you in accordance with Article 26(1) BDSG for the purposes of the employment contract if this is necessary in order to perform or terminate the employment contract or to exercise or comply with the rights and obligations to represent employees’ interests arising from a law or a wage agreement, a works agreement or a service agreement (a collective agreement).

4.3. Categories of personal data that we process

We process data that is associated with your application. This may be general data concerning you personally (such as your name, address and contact details), details of your professional qualifications and education or details of your professional development, as well as other details that you provide to us in connection with your application. Besides this, we may process job-related information that you have made publicly accessible, such as profiles on professional social media networks.

4.4. Who obtains your data?

Your personal data is not disclosed to third parties during the application process. If an employment contract is concluded, passing data on to third parties — e.g. to comply with legal requirements (payment of income tax, social security contributions, etc.) — is unavoidable. A separate privacy policy for employees is then provided.

4.5. Transfer of your data to a third country or an international organisation

Data is not processed outside the EU or the EEC. If you send us your application data via our recruiting system at Zoho Corporation B.V. (Netherlands), your data will be stored exclusively in European data centres and will be encrypted not only during its transmission, but also within the data centres themselves. It may occasionally be necessary for our support staff to access data from India in order to provide support. When this happens, EU standard contractual clauses are agreed to guarantee an appropriate level of data protection.

4.6. How long do we store your data for?

In general, your personal application data is erased six months after the application process is completed. This does not apply if there are legal regulations preventing erasure, if it must be stored for longer for the purpose of keeping evidence or if you have given your explicit consent for it to be stored for longer.

If we cannot offer you a vacant position at that time but, based on your profile, we believe that your application may be of interest for future vacancies, we will store your personal application data for twelve months, provided that you explicitly consent to such storage and use.

4.7. Automated decision-making (including profiling)?

We deal with you and your application personally and, as a rule, we do not make use of any automated decision-making procedures or profiling in accordance with Article 22 GDPR.

4.8. Your data protection rights

4.9. Information on your right to object in accordance with Article 21 GDPR

4.10. Right to lodge a complaint
