General Privacy Statement

Status of the data protection declaration: 03.05.2024

We are very pleased that you are interested in our company.

However, if a data subject wants to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If processing of personal data is necessary and if there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Bareos GmbH & Co. KG applicable country-specific data protection regulations. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.

As the controller, the Bareos GmbH & Co. KG has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can always be vulnerable to security risks, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.

5. Use of Matomo (formerly Piwik)

The pages www.bareos.com as well as http://download.bareos.com and http://download.bareos.org use Matomo, an open source software for statistical analysis of visitor access. This helps us to adapt the web offers to your needs. The information generated by the call is stored and analyzed using Matomo.

We have made the following privacy-friendly settings:

We do not store your IP address completely, but shorten the last 2 bytes (e.g. 192.168.xxx.xxx).
We also use anonymized IP for processing visits (privacy-friendly recommended setting).
We track in Matomo without cookies (privacy-friendly recommended setting).

Other information that we process (browser-related) in Matomo:

the access domain, e.g. bareos.com
The masked IP address, e.g. 192.168.xxx.xxx
Date and time of access, Day/Month/Year:Time
What kind of HTTP request it is: GET
The URL that is called, e. g. /contact
Website from which the access is made, e.g. bareos.com
The HTTP status code: 200
The browser used and the operating system of your terminal device, e. g. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) Gecko/X Firefox/X

A storage of the data takes place exclusively in Matomo. The data is not passed on to third parties. Furthermore, we do not create any usage profiles. The legal basis for the processing of the users’ personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The processing of anonymized user data enables us to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to continuously improve our website and its user-friendliness. In these purposes also lies our legitimate interest in processing the data according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. By anonymizing the IP address, the interest of users in their personal data protection is sufficiently taken into account.

The data is automatically deleted after 365 days.

6. Server logs

We collect on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR, we collect data about each access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files). The access data includes the name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.
Log file information is stored for security reasons (e.g. to clarify acts of abuse or fraud) for a maximum of seven days and then deleted. Data whose further storage is required for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until final clarification of the respective incident.

An exception to this is download.bareos.org and download.bareos.com where we import the number of downloads including IP, operating system and download time into Matomo (formerly Piwik). When importing the data, the IP address is shortened by 2 bytes in order to anonymize the data. No further data is collected and a personal reference is therefore no longer possible.

7. Data protection during applications and the application process

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. The processing may also take place electronically. This is the case in particular if an applicant submits corresponding application documents by electronic means.

If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents are automatically deleted four months after the notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller prevent deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (German Term: AGG) in Germany.

In case of a job interview, it is possible that we offer you an interview via video chat. For this purpose, we use the Jitsi Meet service, which we provide on our own server.

For this purpose, we have explicitly disabled the forwarding of data to third parties.

For applications, you can use the email address jobs@bareos.com which will not be archived. Please apply exclusively via this email address, via the contact form (application) or by mail.

8. Comments

When users leave comments under our posts, your IP address is not stored. Only the Name field must be selected, whereby you may of course also use a pseudonym or nickname here.

For our comment function, the add-on Antispam-Bee from WordPress is used. Here, we have also deactivated functions such as sorting comments by language and/or country.

9. Contact Form

We offer you the possibility to contact us via contact forms on our website. We have two types of contact forms: one managed by us directly and another powered by GetResponse.

9.1 Direct Contact Form

We receive messages sent via our direct contact form through our mail address (hello@bareos.com) or to our application email (jobs@bareos.com). As described in the section “Data protection during applications and the application process,” these emails are not archived and are automatically deleted after four months following the notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller conflict with deletion.

9.2 GetResponse Contact Form (Newsletter and Marketing)
For the contact form powered by GetResponse, when you submit data, your personal information such as your name, email address, subject, message, and IP address are processed and stored by GetResponse. This data is used exclusively to respond to your queries or to send you information based on your expressed consent.

The technical and administrative provision of the online service “Facebook”, on which the social media channel is operated, is carried out by the service provider, who is responsible for the data processing associated with the operation and provision of the online service, such as, in particular, the processing of web server logs (including your IP address).

For more information on the purpose of the cookies used, on the integration of these cookies by other websites and on your control options in this regard, please refer to the information on cookies provided by the service provider at: http://de-de.facebook.com/help/pages/insights.

In addition to the technical and administrative provision of the online service, the service provider also stores the usage and interaction data generated by your use of our social media channel.

You have the option to limit the sharing of profile data with third parties in the privacy settings of your user account. For more information on what information the service provider shares with us, please refer to the respective privacy settings of your user account and the respective terms of use and privacy policy of the service provider.

Bareos uses your profile data to provide you with our social media channel and to measure the usage and reach of our content provided there.

Our social media channel offer you the possibility to react to our content provided there, to comment on it, to recommend it (e.g. by means of a “Like” button) and to comment on our posts (hereinafter referred to as “Interaction Data”). Bareos uses your Interaction Data and Profile Data to enable you to interactively use our social media channel and to communicate with you via our social media channel.

Please note that your public interaction on our social media channel in connection with your user name leads to a direct personal association and is thereby also visible to other users of the social media channel.

Please check carefully what personal data you provide to us in connection with the use of our social media channel. If you do not want the service provider to also process your personal data collected in connection with the use of our social media channel, please contact us by other means. We would like to point out that the social media channel can also be visited without using the interactive functionalities provided there.

4.3 Data evaluation for statistical purposes

For the statistical evaluation of the use of our social media channel, we collect statistical data in aggregated form that provide us with insights into the use of our social media channel and the interaction with the content provided there (so-called “insights data”). Insights data usually includes the following information:

Number of interactions (e.g. via “Like” button)
Number of comments
Dwell time for video posts
Visitor metrics (e.g. page views)
Demographic data on visitors (e.g. field of activity, location, industry)

Bareos processes Insights data exclusively for the statistical analysis of user behavior, with the aim of learning more about the users of our social media channel and to align our content as best as possible with the needs and interests of our users. We do not have access to the underlying usage data. Insights data can therefore not be used to draw any conclusions about you personally. It is therefore also not possible to link this data with your user account of the online service.

The legal basis for the associated processing of your Insights data is the protection of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), which consist in particular of offering our users optimized content on our social media channel and communicating with them in the best possible way.

5. Disclosure of personal data

Bareos will not disclose or otherwise distribute your personal data to third parties, unless this is necessary for the provision and use of our social media channel (legal basis for data processing: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR), you have consented to the disclosure – e.g. to other Bareos Group companies (legal basis for data processing: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR) or the disclosure of personal data is permitted by relevant legal provisions.

Personal data may also be processed in other ways and also disclosed to third parties if we are required to do so by law – e.g. by court order or to comply with legal obligations (legal basis for data processing: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR) or this is necessary to support criminal or legal investigations or other legal investigations or proceedings at home or abroad or to protect legitimate interests (legal basis of data processing: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR), such as the provision of joint content, products and services or the protection of vital interests (legal basis of data processing: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d) GDPR).

6. Data transfers to third countries

6.1 Data transfer within our company (Bareos GmbH & Co. KG)

Bareos GmbH & Co. KG does not actively transmit any data to a third country and only views this data at Facebook. We do not export this data at any time.

6.2 Data transfers by the service provider

We would like to point out that the service provider who is responsible for the technical and administrative operation of the online service on which our social media channel is operated may, among other things, be based in the USA or other countries outside the EU/EEA and may therefore also process your personal data in countries in which it does business. These countries may also be so-called third countries that do not have an adequacy decision of the European Commission pursuant to Article 45 of the GDPR, and therefore there is no guarantee that an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed in these countries in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR. It can also not be ruled out that government authorities in these countries may have access to your personal data. However, according to the information provided by the service provider, the service provider uses appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR to ensure an adequate level of data protection in the respective recipient countries, such as the conclusion of standard data protection clauses to ensure the protection of your personal data. Please note that Bareos has no influence on the type and scope of the processing of your personal data carried out by the service provider in third countries. In this respect, we also have no effective control options vis-à-vis the service provider. For further information on this, please contact the service provider using the contact details provided in section 8.2.

7. Storage duration

Your personal data will only be stored by us for as long as it is required to achieve the purposes for which the data was collected or – if there are additional statutory retention periods – for the duration of the legally prescribed retention period. Subsequently, your personal data will be deleted by us. Only in a few exceptional cases may your data be stored beyond this period, e.g. if storage is necessary in connection with the enforcement of and defense against legal claims in favor of Bareos. If your personal data is stored beyond this by the service provider, this is governed exclusively by the provisions such as, in particular, the applicable terms of use and data protection notices of the service provider.

8. Your data protection rights

8.1 Data protection rights

In accordance with applicable data protection law, you are entitled in particular to the following data protection rights:

In the event that your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that it be corrected. Furthermore, you may have the right to request the deletion or restriction of the processing of your personal data if, for example, there is no longer a legitimate business purpose for such processing in accordance with this Privacy Policy or applicable law and legal retention obligations do not require the continued storage.

Art. 21 (1) GDPR, so-called “limited right of objection”). In this case, you must provide reasons for the objection that arise from your particular situation. Furthermore, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for the purposes of direct marketing at any time, even without stating reasons.

Privacy Statement Twitter

We recommend that all users inform themselves about how their data is processed by Twitter and protect their privacy as much as possible.

Data processed by Twitter

Information about which data is processed by Twitter and for which purposes can be found in Twitter’s privacy policy: https://twitter.com/de/privacy

We have no influence on the type and scope of the data processed by Twitter, the way it is processed and used, or the transfer of this data to third parties. Nor does it have any effective means of control in this respect.

With the use of Twitter, your personal data is collected, transferred, stored, disclosed and used by Twitter Inc. and thereby transferred to and stored and used in the United States, Ireland and any other country in which Twitter Inc. does business, regardless of your place of residence.

On the one hand, Twitter processes the data you voluntarily enter, such as your name and user name, email address, telephone number, or the contacts in your address book when you upload or synchronize it.

On the other hand, Twitter also evaluates the content you share to determine what topics you are interested in, stores and processes confidential messages that you send directly to other users, and can determine your location using GPS data, wireless network information, or your IP address in order to send you advertising or other content.

Finally, Twitter also receives information when you view content, for example, even if you have not created an account. This so-called “log data” may be the IP address, browser type, operating system, information about the website you visited previously and the pages you viewed, your location, your mobile carrier, the terminal device you use (including device ID and application ID), the search terms you used and cookie information.

Twitter buttons or widgets integrated into websites and the use of cookies enable Twitter to record your visits to these websites and assign them to your Twitter profile. Based on this data, content or advertising can be offered tailored to you.

Since Twitter Inc. is a non-European provider with a European branch only in Ireland, it is not bound by German data protection regulations according to its own interpretation. This concerns, for example, your rights to information, blocking or deletion of data or the possibility to object to the use of usage data for advertising purposes.

You have options for restricting the processing of your data in the general settings of your Twitter account and under the item “Privacy and security”. In addition, you can restrict Twitter’s access to contact and calendar data, photos, location data, etc. on mobile devices (smartphones, tablet computers) in the settings options there.

You can find out about the possibility of viewing your own data on Twitter here: https://support.twitter.com/articles/20172711

Information about the inferences Twitter makes about you can be found here:
https://twitter.com/your_twitter_data

Information on the available personalization and privacy setting options can be found here (with further references):

The data subject has the right to obtain from the controller the rectification without delay of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her and, where applicable, the completion of incomplete personal data (Art. 16 GDPR). The data subject has the right to request the controller to erase personal data concerning him or her without undue delay if one of the reasons listed in detail in Art. 17 GDPR applies, e.g. if the data is no longer needed for the purposes pursued (right to erasure).

16. Legal basis of processing

Article 6 I lit. A GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for a delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR.

The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which a processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.

This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, phrase 2 GDPR).

17. Your data protection rights

In accordance with applicable data protection law, you are entitled in particular to the following data protection rights:

Right to information, correction, deletion and restriction
You may have the right to request information about your personal data stored by us at any time. When we process or use your personal data, we endeavor to take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal data is accurate and up to date for the purposes for which it was collected. In the event that your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that it be corrected. Furthermore, you may have the right to request the deletion or restriction of the processing of your personal data if, for example, there is no longer a legitimate business purpose for such processing in accordance with this Privacy Policy or applicable law and legal retention obligations do not require the continued storage.
Right to data portability
If applicable, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to transfer this data to another controller.
Right to revoke your consent
If you have consented to the processing of your personal data, you may revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future, but without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.
Right to object Art. 21 (1) and (2) GDPR

Furthermore, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for the purposes of direct marketing at any time, even without stating reasons.

k) Consent
