4.1.1 Processing based on your consent
We collect and process your personal data based on consent in cases where you have previously given your express consent to data processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a GDPR.
Where we do not already use your data for advertising purposes or customer satisfaction surveys based on our legitimate interests (see section 4.2.4 below), we will obtain your express consent to using your data for further advertising purposes.
4.1.2 Processing based on execution or arrangement of a contract
We collect and process your personal and corporate data for the purposes of contacting you and fulfilling our contractual obligations towards you. We process these data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) b GDPR for the purposes of performance of precontractual measures and fulfillment of contractual performance. For example, we may process your contact details for the purpose of contacting you, concluding agreements with you, duly fulfilling our contractual obligations, and monitoring payment transactions.
4.1.3 Processing based on statutory provisions
We are subject to extensive statutory and regulatory provisions, including under fiscal law. Under Art. 6 (1) c GDPR, collection and processing of your personal data are necessary for our fulfillment of statutory requirements based thereon. In addition, we store your personal and corporate data and/or the personal data of individual contacts within your organization and record conversations, discussions, meetings, reports of any vacancies, and the recruitment process.
4.1.4 Processing based on legitimate interests
We may occasionally request you to take part in a client satisfaction survey. Further, we may use your data, particularly your contact data, for direct mail advertising of our services and, in individual cases, of special events. Further, in cases where we have received your email address in connection with a service, we use these data for email advertising of similar services. This applies until such time as you withdraw consent. At all times when we collect your data, we clearly and explicitly refer you to your right to object to processing of your data.
We use these data to the extent described above under the assumption that we have legitimate interests in processing your data, and that such interests override your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms concerning protection of your data. We would like to contact you at regular intervals to survey your satisfaction and send you information about our services which we believe will be of interest to you.
In connection with our client satisfaction surveys, we occasionally commission market research institutes to optimize our services in the interests of our clients. In this context, too, we assume that your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms concerning protection of your data will not be unreasonably impaired.
4.2 Data of vendors and other contractual partners
4.2.1 Processing based on your consent
We collect and process your personal data based on consent in cases where you have previously given your express consent to data processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a GDPR.
Where we do not already use your data for advertising purposes based on our legitimate interests (see section 4.3.4 below), we will obtain your express consent to using your data for further advertising purposes.
4.2.2 Processing based on execution or arrangement of a contract
We collect and process your personal data for the purposes of contact and of fulfilling our contractual obligations towards you. We process these data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) b GDPR for the purposes of performance of precontractual measures and fulfillment of contractual performance. For example, we may process your contact details for the purpose of contacting you, concluding agreements with you, duly fulfilling our contractual obligations, and monitoring payment transactions.

5. Durationof saving, options for objection and removal
We will erase your personal data from our system after 5 years without relevant contact with you or with the company, organization, or authority which commissioned the recruitment. After this period has elapsed the data are assumed to be no longer relevant to the purpose for which they were collected. In exceptional cases, we erase personal data after a longer period where we believe in good faith that we are under an obligation to store your data for legal reasons or under other regulations. In this context “relevant contact” denotes (verbal or written) communication between us and you, or situations in which you actively contact us or communicate with us with respect to potential job searches, using methods including verbal or written communication or clicking one of our advertisements.
In all other cases your personal data are erased as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose for which they were collected. Even after expiry of a contractual relationship, the requirement to store personal data may continue to apply in order to fulfill contractual or statutory obligations––particularly retention obligations under commercial or fiscal law––or to protect our legitimate interests.
- Saving data in compliance with retention obligations under commercial and/or fiscal law as applicable and to the required extent. Time limits for compliance with retention obligations under commercial and/or fiscal law are: ten years in accordance with statutory regulations governing all documents required for determination of profits; and six years for business correspondence (including emails). The lawful basis in this case is Art. 6 (1) c GDPR.
- Under the provisions of the German Civil Code (BGB), statutes of limitation may cover up to 30 years; the regular statute of limitations is three years. In accordance with these limitation provisions, we therefore retain contractual and contract-related documents for use in disputes or litigation where necessary. The lawful basis in this case is Art. 6 (1) f GDPR.
Where processing of your data is based on your consent, you may withdraw this consent at any time in future in whole or in part by sending a corresponding request to datenschutz@hartmanns-munich.com. If you withdraw your consent we will erase your personal data. If your data are necessary for fulfillment of a contract or performance of precontractual measures, premature erasure of your data is only possible where unobstructed by contractual or statutory obligations.

The processors commissioned by us undertake to comply with our confidentiality standards.

This right particularly applies throughout the duration of processing in cases where you have contested the accuracy of the personal data and where you have the right to erasure of the personal data, but request restriction of processing instead. Further, restriction of processing applies in cases where we no longer need the data for the purposes of the processing but you require the data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, and where the exercise of an objection is a matter of dispute between you and the controller (Art. 18 GDPR).

You have the right to require the controller to erase your personal data. Under this provision you may request erasure of your data in cases where the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed; where the controller has unlawfully processed the personal data; where you have submitted a justifiable objection to the processing; where you have withdrawn your consent; or where a legal obligation to erase the data applies (Art. 17 GDPR).
