By using the Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link or personalized image you have actively clicked on and can then record which contents of our website are of particular interest to you.

From the moment we have forwarded the application documents to the relevant client and customer for examination and review, the latter is also responsible (in addition to Scout4Skills) for the processing of the personal data.

The reCAPTCHA function is primarily used to distinguish whether an input is made by a natural person or is abused by machine and automated processing. The service also includes the sending of the IP address and possibly other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon the granting of explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO.Further information on Google reCAPTCHA as well as Google’s privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy.
3. Social media and fan pages
We operate presences on online platforms and social networks in order to interact with potential or existing customers, to exchange information with interested parties and users, or to advertise offers and services. We operate our websites in so-called joint (data protection) responsibility with the providers. Data that you directly share or publish via the online platforms and networks (e.g. via comment and chat functions) are processed by us as the responsible party in order to interact with you in this regard or to exchange information with you. As part of this interaction, we may also receive statistical data from the platform operators on the use of our “channels and fan pages”. This includes, for example, information about interactions, likes, comments, or aggregate information and statistics (e.g., IP address; origin of followers) that help us learn about interactions with our site. The legal basis for data processing in our area of responsibility is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 f) GDPR.
However, providers also process data under their own responsibility. We have no influence on data that is processed by the provider under its own responsibility in accordance with its own terms of use and data protection conditions. We would like to point out that when calling up the aforementioned providers, additional data (e.g. your usage and “surfing behavior”) may be collected and possibly transmitted to the provider. Please also note that in the event of interaction via the aforementioned media, data may also be processed outside the area of the European Union. Furthermore, user data is usually processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created from the usage behavior and resulting interests of the users. The usage profiles may in turn be used, for example, to serve advertisements within and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the users’ interests. You can find more detailed information on this in the data protection information of the respective providers. If we have personal data from you in connection with the use of the online platforms and networks, please direct your concerns to us. If you wish to assert rights against a specific provider beyond this, please contact the provider in question.
4. Your rights
You have the right to request confirmation from us at any time as to whether we are processing personal data about you and the right to obtain information about this personal data. In addition, you have the right to rectification, deletion and restriction of data processing, as well as the right to object to the processing of personal data at any time, or to withdraw consent to data processing at any time, or to request data transfer. In addition, you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority in the event of data protection violations. All information requests, requests for information, revocations or objections to data processing should be sent by e-mail to info@scout4skills.com.
5. Notes on the special right of objection
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of, inter alia, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e) or f) DSGVO, to object in accordance with Art. 21 DSGVO. We will stop processing your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. If you wish to exercise your right to object, simply send an e-mail to info@scout4skills.com.
