We, Schwarz Corporate Solutions KG, Stiftsbergstraße 1, 74172 Neckarsulm, Germany, are the controller with respect to data processing in connection with the use of "Cookies" and other similar technologies to process usage data on all (sub-)domains at www.onboarding.schwarz.

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website. Cookies do not cause any harm to your end device, nor do they contain any viruses, trojans or other malware. The cookie stores certain information that results in connection with the specific end device deployed.

This does not, however, mean that we will immediately become aware of your identity.

You may also configure your browser to ensure that a warning appears every time a new cookie is placed. This makes the use of cookies more transparent for you.

Purposes and legal basis of processing

  • Technically necessary: these cookies help to make a website usable by enabling basic functions such as site navigation and access to secure pages. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
  • Preferences: using these methods, we can take into account your actual or perceived preferences to enhance the user experience. For example, we can use your settings to display our website in a language relevant to you. They also mean we can avoid displaying content that may not be available in your region.
  • Statistics: these methods enable us to tailor the design of our services by producing anonymized statistics about how they are used. For example, we can use them to determine how better to adapt our website to user habits.
  • Marketing: these enable us to display relevant advertising content based on an analysis of your usage behavior. Your usage behavior can also be tracked over various websites, browsers or devices via a user ID (unique identifier).

Depending on the purpose, the use of cookies and similar technologies to process usage data involves processing the following types of personal data in particular:

The legal basis for using preferences, statistics and marketing cookies and similar technologies is your consent given pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and section 25(1) sentence 1 of the German Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (Telekommunikation-Digitale-Dienste-Datenschutzgesetz (TDDDG).

Google Analytics

Our web pages use the "Google Analytics" service offered by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA. Cookies and similar technologies, in particular JavaScript, are used to store and analyze data on your end device.

In the European Union and in the European Economic Area (EEA), the "Google Analytics" service is offered by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, which assists us a processor in accordance with Article 28 GDPR.

"Google Analytics" creates user profiles on the basis of pseudonyms (recognition attributes from cookies and device ID and further data on the end device used or the "browser fingerprint") and usage data (e.g., name and address of the website content requested by your browser, referral links, description of the web browser and operating system used, and the IP address of the requesting end device). Demographic data, such as the age, gender and interests of the users, and interactions, such as button clicks, scroll depth and length of stay, are collected, analyzed and merged with existing anonymized data.

We have configured "Google Analytics" in a such way that your IP address is processed and truncated within the EU using the „_anonymizeIp()“ feature before it is transmitted to Google's servers in the USA.

We transmit your data in connection with our use of "Google Analytics" to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, as well as Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA. In principle, we have no influence on further data processing by the third-party provider. For further information on how Google handles personal data, please visit https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. By virtue of the fact that we use "Google Analytics" on our web pages, data is transmitted to the aforementioned recipients and stored there for a period of 26 months.

Transfer of data to third countries

As a rule, we do not transfer your data to recipients located outside of the European Union or the European Economic Area. To the extent that you have consented to the use of the relevant cookies, your data will only be transferred to the servers of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, if it is processed using Google Analytics, Google AdWords and YouTube. Some of these servers are located in the USA. The EU does not have an adequacy decision in place for the USA, which means that a lower level of data protection than in the EU must be assumed. This could mean that you may not be able to adequately exercise your rights as a data subject. In addition, we have no control over the extent to which Google uses your data for its own purposes. However, we have concluded standard contractual clauses with Google, which contractually oblige Google to comply with European data protection standards.

Obligation to provide your data

You are under no statutory or contractual obligation to provide personal data to us. You may prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting the aforementioned settings, selecting the categories of cookies accordingly or withdrawing or modifying any consent you may have given.

Storage time

For information on the duration of storage for cookies, see our Cookie Policy. If "persistent" is entered in the "expiration" column, the cookie will be stored permanently until they are manually deleted.

5. Embedded third party content

YouTube-Videos

We may embed YouTube videos on our website, which are stored at http://www.YouTube.com and can be played directly from our website. All videos are embedded with "privacy-enhanced mode" enabled, which means that no data about you as the user is transferred to YouTube if you do not play the videos. Data is only transferred if you play the videos. We do not have any control over this transfer of data.

You will find further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and how YouTube processes data in the provider's privacy policy.

6. Your rights as a data subject

Pursuant to Article 15(1) GDPR, you have the right to request information, free of charge, on the personal data stored about you.

If the statutory requirements are met, you also have a right to rectification (Article 16 GDPR), erasure (Article 17 GDPR) and restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR) of your personal data.

If the basis of processing is Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have a right to object under Article 21 GDPR. If you object to processing, your data will no longer be processed thereafter, unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests of the data subject in the objection.

If you have provided the processed data yourself, you have a right to data portability under Article 20 GDPR.

If the data processing is carried out on the basis of consent granted under Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, you may revoke that consent at any time with effect for the future without this affecting the lawfulness of the previous processing.

In the above-mentioned cases, or if you have questions or complaints, please write to or e-mail the data protection officer.

You also have a right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The data protection supervisory authority located in the state in which you live or where the controller is domiciled has jurisdiction.
