3. General Information and Mandatory Disclosures

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 applicable data protection legislation and this Privacy Policy.
When you use this website, various items of personal data are collected. Personal data is data by 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 occurs.
Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information on the Controller
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

IICM Consulting GmbH & Co. KG

Holbeinstr 26
81679 Munich
Germany
Email: info@iicm.consulting

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

Storage Period
Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you submit a justified request for erasure or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be erased unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be erased once these grounds no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR where special categories of data within the meaning of Article 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also carried out on the basis of Article 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your terminal device (e.g. through device fingerprinting), processing is additionally carried out on the basis of Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract, we process your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, we process your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. Processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis applicable in each individual case is provided in the following sections of this Privacy Policy.

Data Protection Officer
We have appointed a data protection officer.

Information on Transfers of Data to Third Countries That Are Not Considered Secure under Data Protection Law and on Transfers to U.S. Companies That Are Not DPF-Certified

We use, among other things, tools provided by companies based in third countries that are not considered secure under data protection law, as well as U.S.-based tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. Please note that a level of data protection comparable to that of the European Union cannot be guaranteed in third countries that are not considered secure under data protection law.

Please note that, as a secure third country, the United States generally provides a level of data protection comparable to that of the European Union. A transfer of data to the United States is therefore permissible where the recipient is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF) or has appropriate additional safeguards in place. Information on transfers to third countries, including the recipients of the data, can be found in this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of Personal Data
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires personal data to be transferred to these external parties. We disclose personal data to external parties only where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, where we are legally required to do so (e.g. disclosure to tax authorities), where we have a legitimate interest in disclosure pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the disclosure. Where processors are used, we disclose our customers’ personal data only on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the event of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is entered into.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are possible only with your express consent. You may withdraw consent already given at any time. The lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Specific Cases and to Direct Marketing (Article 21 GDPR)

WHERE DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ARTICLE 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THOSE 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 SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(1) GDPR).

WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSES OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEREAFTER NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects 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 infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data that we process by automated means on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract provided to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. Where you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be carried out only where technically feasible.

Access, Rectification, and Erasure
Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information, free of charge, about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, the right to have this data rectified or erased. You may contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions relating to personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer require your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
If you have objected pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may, apart from storage, be processed only with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line in your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies in order to provide its services in a technically error-free and optimised manner. Where consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of that consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG); consent may be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure your browser so that you are informed when cookies are set and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or generally, and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed.

We will not disclose this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling enquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), where this has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its erasure, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.

Enquiries by Email, Telephone, or Fax
If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your enquiry, including all personal data arising from it (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling enquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), where this has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

The data you send to us in the context of contact enquiries will remain with us until you request its erasure, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.

6. Audio and Video Conferencing

Data Processing
For communication with our customers, we use, among other things, online conferencing tools. The individual tools used by us are listed below. If you communicate with us by video or audio conference over the internet, your personal data will be collected and processed by us and by the provider of the respective conferencing tool.

The conferencing tools collect all data that you provide or use in order to use the tools (email address and/or your telephone number). In addition, the conferencing tools process the duration of the conference, the start and end time of participation in the conference, the 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 facilitate 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 loudspeaker, and the type of connection.

Where content is exchanged, uploaded, or otherwise made available within the tool, such content is also stored on the servers of the tool providers. Such content includes, in particular, cloud recordings, chat or instant messages, voicemail messages, 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 determined by the corporate policies of the respective provider. Further information on data processing by the conferencing tools can be found in the privacy policies of the respective tools listed below this text.

Purpose and Legal Bases
The conferencing tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to provide certain services to our customers (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). In addition, the use of the tools serves to generally simplify and accelerate communication with us or our company (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Where consent has been requested, the respective tools are used on the basis of that consent; consent may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

Storage Period
Data collected directly by us via the video and conferencing tools will be erased from our systems as soon as you request erasure, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

We have no control over how long your data is stored by the operators of the conferencing tools for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the conferencing tools directly.

We use the following conferencing tools:

We use Zoom. The provider of this service is Zoom Communications, Inc., 55 Almaden Boulevard, 6th Floor, San Jose, CA 95113, United States. Details on data processing can be found in Zoom’s Privacy Statement: https://explore.zoom.us/de/privacy/.

Data Processing on Behalf of the Controller
We have entered into a data processing agreement for the use of the above-mentioned service. This agreement is required under data protection law and ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

7. Our Own Services

Handling of Applicant Data
We offer you the opportunity to apply for a position with us (e.g. by email, by post, or via an online application form). Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of the personal data collected from you in the context of the application process. We assure you that your data will be collected, processed, and used in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions, and that your data will be treated as strictly confidential.

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection
If you submit an application to us, we process the personal data associated with it (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary in order to decide whether to establish an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 BDSG under German law (steps prior to entering into an employment relationship), Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (general steps prior to entering into a contract), and, where you have given consent, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Within our company, your personal data will be disclosed only to persons involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

Data Retention Period
If we are unable to offer you a position, you reject an offer of employment, or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data submitted by you on the basis of our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to six months following completion of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be erased and physical application documents destroyed. Retention serves, in particular, evidentiary purposes in the event of a legal dispute. Where it is apparent that the data will be required after the six-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), erasure will take place only once the purpose for further retention no longer applies.

Data may also be retained for a longer period where you have given corresponding consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) or where statutory retention obligations prevent erasure.

Inclusion in the Applicant Pool
If we are unable to offer you a position, there may be an opportunity to include you in our applicant pool. In the event of inclusion, 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 (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). Giving consent is voluntary and is unrelated to the ongoing application process. The data subject may withdraw consent at any time. In this case, the data will be permanently erased from the applicant pool unless statutory grounds for retention apply.

The data in the applicant pool will be permanently erased no later than two years after consent has been given.

The data entered by you will remain with us until you request its erasure, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in enabling appointments to be arranged with prospective and existing customers as easily as possible. Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s terminal device (e.g. for device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
