1.5. Data Collection, Purposes, and Legal Basis for Data Processing
and, if applicable, Data Transfer
1.5.1. Legal Basis
If we obtain your consent for specific processing operations, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract (e.g., for the delivery of goods) or for pre-contractual measures (e.g., in the case of inquiries), the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data (e.g., for the fulfillment of tax obligations), processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
If processing is not based on any of the aforementioned legal bases, we process data to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company, in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
1.5.2. Contact Form, Inquiry by Email, Telephone, or Fax
The contact form gives interested parties the opportunity to send inquiries directly to us electronically.
If an interested party contacts us in this way, the data provided in the form (first and last name, email address, phone number, etc.) is automatically stored. The storage is solely for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject.
Alternatively, you can contact us via the email addresses provided on the website. In this case, all data provided by the person will be stored. The emails sent are usually forwarded to general departmental mailboxes. This storage also serves the purposes mentioned above.
The data you enter will be stored by us until you withdraw your consent. Mandatory statutory provisions, e.g., special retention periods, remain unaffected.
1.5.3. Product Inquiry
We use your personal data to process your inquiries about our products.
For this purpose, we collect the following data as part of the inquiry: industry, company, first name, last name, postal code, city/town, street, country, telephone, email, department, state, fax, website. The data collected in this way is stored in our internal database for processing your product inquiry.
1.6. Cookies and Server Log Files
For technical reasons, so-called server log files are created. These files store technical data (e.g., browser type and version, operating system used, time of request, IP address, etc.) that your browser automatically transmits to the provider. This data is not merged with other data, so it cannot be linked to a specific person.
Our websites also use cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser. Some cookies are deleted after you leave the site, while others are stored permanently. In addition to our own cookies, cookies from third-party providers (third-party cookies) may also be used.
Some cookies are essential for the operation and display of the website and do not collect personal information. Others enable us to tailor your visit to your preferences and user behavior.
You can prevent cookies from being set for all websites by changing the settings of your browser. Already set cookies can be deleted at any time. Please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of our website, in particular the “MyBox” feature.
1.7. Applications
1.7.1. Information on the Processing of Your Application
Documents
You may submit your application by post, email (personal@lumberg.com), or via WhatsApp.
When you apply to us, we process the information we receive from you during the application process, such as your cover letter, résumé, certificates, etc.
Your data will initially be processed solely for the purpose of carrying out the application process and deciding on an employment relationship. The legal basis is Section 26(1) BDSG. If your application is successful, your personal data will become part of your personnel file. All applications remain with us for up to six months after the selection process has been completed and are then permanently deleted or fully returned to you, unless statutory retention obligations require otherwise.
If your application has caught our interest but we cannot offer you a position at the moment, we will request your explicit consent to retain your applicant data for a longer period in our applicant pool so that we can consider you for future job openings. This consent can be withdrawn at any time.
Unsolicited applications are stored indefinitely and added directly to our applicant pool. You may object to this storage at any time.
Your personal data will only be collected or processed by persons responsible for handling the application. If you apply for a position at one of our group companies, your data will be forwarded to that company for this purpose.
1.7.2. Application via WhatsApp
We offer the option of submitting a short application via WhatsApp. In doing so, only your name, date of birth, telephone number, email address, and desired position may be provided. Please do not send complete application documents such as résumés or certificates via WhatsApp. We will contact you by phone.
The legal basis for this processing is Section 26(1) BDSG and, in the case of requesting your date of birth due to legal requirements, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. The use of WhatsApp is voluntary and represents only an alternative means of contacting us.
Please note that WhatsApp Ireland Limited (Meta Platforms) may process metadata and potentially content outside the EU. The WhatsApp privacy policy can be found at: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/privacy-policy-eea.
