We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of CHARISMARCOM Agency. The use of the internet pages of CHARISMARCOM Agency is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to CHARISMARCOM Agency. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed by means of this data protection declaration of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, CHARISMARCOM Agency has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.
The privacy policy of CHARISMARCOM Agency is based on the terminology used by the European legislator when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.
We use, among others, the following terms in this privacy policy:
The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation and other applicable data protection laws is:

Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until automatic deletion is carried out by your web browser.
In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company.
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them. Other cookies are used to evaluate user behaviour or to display advertising. You can configure your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies, to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

The website of CHARISMARCOM Agency collects a range of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-pages accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information.
When using this general data and information, CHARISMARCOM Agency does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to correctly deliver the content of our website, to optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it, to ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems, and to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack. CHARISMARCOM Agency therefore analyses anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing data protection and security.
On the website of CHARISMARCOM Agency, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the controller when subscribing is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.
CHARISMARCOM Agency informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter. The newsletter subscription can generally only be completed if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address using the double opt-in procedure. When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address and the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand any possible misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later point in time.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data for newsletter dispatch may be revoked at any time. A corresponding link is found in each newsletter for this purpose.
The website of CHARISMARCOM Agency contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general e-mail address. If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.
Every data subject has the right to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed.
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to obtain free information from the controller at any time about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information, including: the processing purposes; the categories of personal data; the recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed; the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored; the right to request rectification, erasure or restriction; the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them.
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay, where one of the following grounds applies: the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected; the data subject withdraws consent; the data subject objects to processing; the personal data have been unlawfully processed; the personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation.
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following conditions applies: the accuracy of the personal data is contested; the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes erasure; the controller no longer needs the personal data but they are required by the data subject for legal claims; the data subject has objected to processing pending verification.
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to receive the personal data concerning them in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit those data to another controller.
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning them. CHARISMARCOM Agency shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject.
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them.
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case when an applicant submits application documents to the controller electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided no other legitimate interests of the controller oppose such deletion.
The controller has integrated components of the LinkedIn Corporation on this website. LinkedIn is an internet-based social network that enables users to connect with existing business contacts and to make new business contacts. Over 400 million registered persons use LinkedIn in more than 200 countries.
The operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. For data protection matters outside the USA, LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible.
With each retrieval of our website equipped with a LinkedIn component, this component causes the browser used by the data subject to download a corresponding representation of the component from LinkedIn. If the data subject is simultaneously logged into LinkedIn, LinkedIn recognises which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting. LinkedIn always receives information via the LinkedIn component that the data subject has visited our website if they are simultaneously logged in to LinkedIn.
The data subject may prevent the transmission of this information to LinkedIn by logging out of their LinkedIn account before calling our website. LinkedIn provides the ability to manage ad settings and unsubscribe from targeted ads at https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls. The applicable privacy policy for LinkedIn is available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.
This website uses Font Awesome for the uniform display of icons, provided by Fonticons, Inc. When a page is accessed, your browser loads the required icons into your browser cache in order to display icons correctly. For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to the servers of Fonticons, Inc. This enables Fonticons, Inc. to know that our website was accessed via your IP address. The use of Font Awesome is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
If your browser does not support Font Awesome, a standard font from your computer will be used. Further information about Font Awesome can be found at https://fontawesome.com/help and in the privacy policy of Fonticons, Inc.: https://fontawesome.com/privacy.
This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. The Google Fonts are installed locally. A connection to Google servers does not take place.
Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
For statistical reasons, our website uses functions of Google My Business.

The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service used to analyse the traffic on our website. The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analytics via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymised by Google when accessing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or another signatory to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. With each call to one of the individual pages of this website, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data for the purpose of online analysis to Google.
The data subject may prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used. Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data generated by Google Analytics by downloading a browser add-on under https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and installing it.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html.
The controller has integrated Google Ads on this website. Google Ads is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads both in Google’s search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows an advertiser to pre-define specific keywords with the help of which an ad on Google’s search results pages is displayed exclusively when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result.
The operating company of Google Ads is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The purpose of Google Ads is the promotion of our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising. If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a conversion cookie is filed on the information technology system of the data subject by Google. A conversion cookie loses its validity after 30 days. Through the conversion cookie, both Google and the controller can understand whether a person who reached an Ads ad on our website generated a sale.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used. The data subject has the possibility of objecting to the interest-based advertisement of Google at https://www.google.de/settings/ads.

The operating company of YouTube is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
With each call to one of the individual pages of this internet site on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) was integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. If the data subject is logged in to YouTube, YouTube recognises with each call which specific sub-page of our internet site was visited by the data subject.
YouTube and Google will receive information through the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website if they are simultaneously logged in on YouTube. If such transmission is not desirable, the delivery may be prevented by logging off from their YouTube account before calling our website.
YouTube’s data protection provisions are available at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for 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 party, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. Where our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR where processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.
The criterion used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfilment or initiation of the contract.
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions. Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and the consequences of non-provision.
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
This data protection declaration was created by the data protection declaration generator of the DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, which carries out data protection audits, in cooperation with the media law firm WILDE BEUGER SOLMECKE.
