The protection and security of your personal information when using our website is very important to us. We would therefore like to inform you at this point which of your personal data we collect when you visit our website and for what purposes it is used.

DATA PROTECTION AT A GLANCE

General information

PLAN-B NET ZERO AG takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data by which you can be personally identified. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
This data protection declaration applies to the PLAN-B NET ZERO AG website, which can be accessed under the domain https://planbnetzero.co and the various subdomains (e.g. https://planbnetzero.co/en/home-english/wind-energy).

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

Switzerland

E-Mail: info@planbnetzero.co
Internet: https://planbnetzero.co

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

What is it about?

This privacy statement complies with the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address, IP address or user behaviour when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot (or can only with disproportionate effort) establish a link to your person, e.g. through anonymisation, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.
Stored personal data is deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate grounds for further retention of the data. We inform you about the specific storage periods or criteria for storage in the individual processing operations. Irrespective of this, we store your personal data in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and if there are statutory retention obligations.

Who receives your data?

We only pass on your personal data that we process on our website to third parties if this is necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes and is covered by the legal basis in the individual case (e.g. consent or safeguarding legitimate interests). In addition, we disclose personal data to third parties in individual cases if this serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. Possible recipients may then be, for example, law enforcement agencies, lawyers, auditors, courts, etc.
Insofar as we use service providers for the operation of our website who process personal data on our behalf within the scope of commissioned processing pursuant to Art. 28 DSGVO, they may be recipients of your personal data. You can find more information on the use of processors and web services in the overview of the individual processing operations.

What do we use your data for?

Some of the data is collected to ensure that the website is provided without error. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour.

Are cookies used?

Cookies are small text files that are sent by us to the browser of your end device when you visit our website and are stored there. As an alternative to the use of cookies, information can also be stored in the local storage of your browser. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies or local storage (technically necessary cookies). Other cookies, on the other hand, enable us to carry out various analyses, so that we are able, for example, to recognise the browser you are using when you visit our website again and to transmit various information to us (non-essential cookies). With the help of cookies, we can, among other things, make our website more user-friendly and effective for you, for example by tracking your use of our website and determining your preferred settings (e.g. country and language settings). If third parties process information via cookies, they collect the information directly via your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device. They cannot execute programs or contain viruses.

What rights do you have regarding your data?

Under the conditions of the legal provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the following rights as a data subject:

Information pursuant to Art. 15 DSGVO on the data stored about you in the form of meaningful information on the details of the processing as well as a copy of your data;
Correction according to Art. 16 DSGVO of incorrect or incomplete data stored by us;
Deletion pursuant to Art. 17 DSGVO of the data stored by us, insofar as the processing is not necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for the fulfilment of a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims;
Restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 DSGVO, insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed, the processing is unlawful, we no longer need the data and you object to their deletion because you need them for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 DSGVO;
Data portability pursuant to Art. 20 DSGVO, insofar as you have provided us with personal data within the scope of consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO or on the basis of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO and these have been processed by us with the aid of automated procedures. You will receive your data in a structured, common and machine-readable format or we will transfer the data directly to another responsible party, insofar as this is technically feasible;
Objection according to Art. 21 DSGVO against the processing of your personal data, insofar as this is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. e, f DSGVO and there are reasons for this which arise from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct advertising. The right to object does not exist if overriding compelling legitimate grounds for the processing can be demonstrated or the processing is carried out for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. Where the right to object does not exist for individual processing operations, this is indicated there;
Revocation pursuant to Art. 7 (3) DSGVO of your consent with effect for the future;
Complain to a supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 DSGVO if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the DSGVO. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your place of work or our company headquarters.

How is your data processed in detail?

In the following, we inform you about the individual processing operations, the scope and purpose of the data processing, the legal basis, the obligation to provide your data and the respective storage period. An automated decision in individual cases, including profiling, does not take place.

PROVIDING THE WEBSITE

Nature and scope of processing

Our website uses hosting services provided by Hosting Pilot GmbH (Am Zollhafen 5, 41460 Neuss) to ensure the availability and performance of our services. These hosting partners may store and process information on behalf of PLAN-B NET ZERO AG.

When you access and use our website, we collect the personal data that your browser automatically transmits to our server. The following information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file:

IP address of the requesting computer
Date and time of access
Name and URL of the file accessed
Website from which the access was made (referrer URL)
Browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer, as well as the name of your access provider

Purpose and legal basis

The processing is carried out to protect our overriding legitimate interest in displaying our website and ensuring its security and stability on the basis of Art. 6 para. lit. f DSGVO. The collection of data and storage in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. There is no right to object to the processing due to the exception under Art. 21 (1) DSGVO. Insofar as the further storage of log files is required by law, the processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide the data, however, calling up our website is not technically possible without providing the data.

Storage period

The aforementioned data is stored for the duration of the website display.

CONTACT FORM

Type and scope of processing

On our website, we offer you to contact us via a provided form. The information collected via mandatory fields is required in order to process the request. Furthermore, you can voluntarily provide additional information that you consider necessary for processing the contact request. When using the contact form, your personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

Purpose and legal basis

The processing of your data through the use of our contact form is carried out for the purpose of communication and processing of your enquiry on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. Insofar as your enquiry relates to an existing contractual relationship with us, the processing is carried out for the purpose of fulfilling the contract on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data, but it is not possible to process your enquiry without providing the information in the mandatory fields. If you do not wish to provide this data, please contact us by other means or channels, e.g. by telephone.

Storage period

If you use the contact form on the basis of your consent, we store the data collected for each enquiry for a period of three years, starting with the completion of your enquiry or until you revoke your consent.

ENQUIRY BY E-MAIL, TELEPHONE OR FAX

Type and scope of processing

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your enquiry including all personal data resulting from it (name, enquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

Purpose and legal basis

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO, insofar as your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

Storage period

The data you send us via contact enquiries will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

HANDLING OF APPLICANT DATA

Type and scope of processing

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by e-mail, post or via an online application form). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data will be carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.
If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, curriculum vitae, references, notes taken during interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship.

Purpose and legal basis

The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG-neu under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO (general contract initiation). Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG-neu and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship. If we are unable to make you a job offer, if you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to store the data you have submitted with us for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application) on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO).

Storage period

The data is then deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. This storage serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will only be deleted when the purpose for continued storage no longer applies.

Changes to this privacy policy

We reserve the right to change our privacy policy should this be necessary due to new technologies. Please ensure that you have the latest version. If fundamental changes are made to this privacy statement, we will announce them on our website.
