Privacy Policy

Kindly note the following with regard to our Privacy Policy.

1). Scope of the Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy regulates the processing of personal information relating to natural and legal persons, collected through the use of websites owned by ekolive s.r.o., its subsidiaries and affiliated companies. National data protection laws and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (as applicable) are observed in our data processing.

Our websites may contain links and/or references to other websites and services that are not owned by ekolive. Such websites and services are beyond our control and are not covered by this Privacy Policy. ekolive is not responsible for these websites and accepts no liability relating to them. By using our websites, you agree to the processing of the data collected about you by ekolive and its partner companies, pursuant to this Privacy Policy.

2). Data collection and data usage

On our websites, we collect two types of user data: actively transmitted data such as your surname, first name, address, email address, telephone and fax numbers, which are provided by you, and passively transmitted data such as log files, IP addresses and domain names. We only use this passively transmitted data in an anonymous form to obtain statistics about the use of our websites, in order to improve our services and to make our websites as effective as possible.

The data you provide will be used exclusively for the business purposes described in the relevant section and for marketing purposes (e.g., mailing, newsletters, etc.), including data transmission to ekolive and partner companies where this is necessary for the execution of a contract that you have entered into with ekolive, or for data processing and data analysis. Note, it is also possible that data may be transferred abroad, to foreign countries, including countries where legislation that provides adequate data protection (for example USA, Ukraine, etc.) is lacking.

If you do not wish to receive any advertising, you can report this to the contact indicated below.

3). Tracking technology (“cookies”)

Our websites use tracking technology “cookies” (e.g., Google Analytics), i.e., text files which are stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of ekolive and other websites in an anonymized form. This allows reports about the website activities to be compiled for the website operators, and further services relating to website usage and internet usage to be provided. The information about your use of our websites (including your IP address) generated by the cookies is transferred to a server of a partner company abroad (e.g., in the USA) and stored there. Our partner company will transfer the information to third parties for processing where applicable.

You can prevent the installation of cookies using the relevant settings in your browser software; however, we draw your attention to the fact that in doing so, it is possible that you may not be able to utilise the full functionality of our websites.

4). Data Privacy for Job Applications

If you apply for a job – either directly or through a recruitment service provider – we will process your personal data collected via this website in our IT systems and will use these data for the purpose of recruiting personnel. For the use of passively transmitted data and general rules applicable for all website users please see the other items of our Privacy Policy.

If you commence employment with us your application data will be integrated into our HR administration. If you do not commence employment with us, we will keep your personal data up to 6 months after our recruitment decision. In case we wish to keep your application data for a longer period (e.g., for potential future recruitment) we will ask for your respective consent.

Except as to (i) the involvement of external advisors into our recruitment decision and IT server providers and/or (ii) sharing your data with ekolive´s subsidiaries and affiliated companies in EU, EFTA and Ukraine, your data will remain in our company only.

You are entitled by law to (a) withdraw your consent for the processing of your data at any time, (b) receive information about our use of your personal information and their processing, (c) correction of inaccurate data, (d) request premature erasure of your data (by way of anonymization in our systems) or restriction of use of your data, however these measures may technically impair the further assessment of your job application. To contact us please use the contact information of our Data Protection Coordinator at the end of our Privacy Policy.

Data protection complaints may be addressed to our Data Protection Coordinator and/or to the national data protection authority in your or our country.

5). Data security

We operate data networks for which the appropriate technical and organisational measures against unauthorized processing have been taken.

We however do not provide encryption for communication. When sending information by fax, email or via a web form, the confidentiality is not guaranteed. Please send any sensitive information by physical mail.

6). Applicable law and jurisdiction

This Privacy Policy is governed by German law. For disputes arising from this Privacy Policy, the courts in Paderborn, Germany have exclusive jurisdiction.
