2. General notes and mandatory information

Data protection
The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data refers to data that can personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data 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 over the Internet (e. g., communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Controller information
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
ANTARES PROJECT GmbH
Knooper Weg 107
24116 Kiel
Phone: (+49) 0431-61643
Email: antares@antares.net
The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Data retention
Unless a specific retention period is specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data ceases to exist. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e. g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion will take place once these reasons cease to exist.

Notice of data transfer to the US and other third countries
On our website, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure in terms of data protection. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that these countries may not guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. For example, US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against it. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e. g., intelligence agencies) process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.

Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent that has already been given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(e) OR (f) OF THE GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, INCLUDING PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE SPECIFIC LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(1) OF THE GDPR). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING, INCLUDING PROFILING RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(2) OF THE GDPR).


Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and have the right to transmit those data to another controller where the processing is based on consent or a contract and is carried out by automated means. Where technically feasible, you also have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from us to another controller.

SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, deletion, and rectification
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correct or delete this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases: If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, but you oppose the deletion of the data and instead request the restriction of their use, If we no longer need your personal data, but you require them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion. If you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balance must be made between your interests and ours. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data - apart from their storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.Objection to promotional emails: We hereby expressly prohibit the use of contact data published in the context of website legal notice requirements with regard to sending promotional and informational materials not expressly requested.

6. Our services

Handling of applicant data
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, postal mail, or online application form). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of the personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data will be in compliance with applicable data protection laws and all other statutory provisions, and your data will be treated strictly confidentially.

Scope and purpose of data collection
When you submit an application to us, we process the personal data associated with it (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes from job interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary for making a decision about establishing an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG-new according to German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (general initiation of a contract), and, if you have given your consent, Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be disclosed within our company to persons involved in the processing of your application. If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship, based on § 26 BDSG-new and Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

Data retention period
If we cannot offer you a position, you reject an offer, or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have transmitted to us for up to 6 months after the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application) based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). Afterward, the data will be deleted, and physical application documents will be destroyed. The retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it becomes apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period (e.g., due to an imminent or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place once the purpose for further storage no longer applies. Longer retention may also occur if you have given your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) or if legal retention obligations prevent deletion.

Inclusion in the applicant pool
If we cannot offer you a position, there may be a possibility of including you in our applicant pool. In the event of inclusion, all documents and information from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool to contact you in case of suitable vacancies. Inclusion in the applicant pool is exclusively based on your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). Giving consent is voluntary and unrelated to the ongoing application process. The individual concerned can revoke their consent at any time. In such a case, the data from the applicant pool will be permanently deleted unless there are legal retention reasons. The data from the applicant pool will be permanently deleted no later than two years after giving consent.
