  • a list of the sites you visited within the scope of our overall Internet presence
  • the date and duration of your visit, notification of whether the visit was successful
  • volume of data transferred
  • information about the identification data of the browser type and operating system used by you

Other personal data such as your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address are not collected unless you provide these data of your own accord, e.g. when completing an online contact form, in the course of registration, a customer survey, a competition, contract processing or relating to an enquiry.

Temporary storage of this data is necessary during your visit to the website in order to allow the website to be delivered to you. Further storage in log files is performed to ensure the functionality of the website and the security of our IT systems. These purposes are also covered by a legitimate interest in data processing. This measure is undertaken on the basis of Article 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter f) GDPR.

The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer needed to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For the provision of the website, this is the case when the session terminates. The log files (access logs) are kept for administrators to access directly and exclusively for a period of 24 hours. After that, they are only available indirectly through a restore from backup tapes and are permanently deleted after 30 days.

 

2) Registration on our platform

a) Registration

b) Data processing for contract performance

As part of the services provided, in particular transport and logistics services, personal data are processed on the basis of contracts concluded with you. These data are used, for example, to execute a (deceleration) contract, to administer customer data, to process payments and, where necessary, to perform credit checks. Certain shipping data are provided to the authorities of the country of transit or destination – depending on relevant legal requirements – for the purpose of customs clearance and taxation or for security checks. Such data generally include the name and address of the sender, the name and address of the recipient, a description of the goods, the quantity, weight and value of the consignment.

In order to fulfil a (declaration) contract, personal data of the customer and (alternative) recipient (e.g. name, address of the sender and (alternative) recipient, e-mail address, telephone number, shipment information, delivery documentation, such as signature, GPS data and time of the delivery event, bank data, identification data) are processed.

As a general rule, the legal basis is Article 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter b) GDPR, since processing is carried out for the performance of a contract in which you are (indirectly) involved and for proof of the correct delivery of the service. Furthermore, data processing is carried out in order to meet legal obligations in accordance with Article 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter c) GDPR in connection with contract performance.

 

c) Data processing for security, quality assurance and process optimisation

We process the data collected in the course of implementing the contract for (data) security purposes (e.g. to detect criminal offences or misuse), to produce statistics and for quality assurance, process optimisation and planning reliability to the extent permitted by law. We have a legitimate interest for this processing in ensuring the smooth operation and continuous improvement of the particular products and services. In our opinion, there is no overriding interest worthy of protection, since the intensity of the processing operations is extremely low, e.g. through the use pseudonyms. The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter f) GDPR.

d) Data Processing for sales purposes

If you register as a customer, your address data (e.g. name, address) will be processed to inform you about offers, news, products and services of “Saloodo!”.

The analyses serve to identify the reading habits of users and to adapt content to them or to send different content according to users’ interests.

b) Processing of personal data by Deutsche Post AG

In the following, we would like to give you an overview of how we ensure the protection of your personal data when you access our website and what types of personal data we process, for what purposes and to what extent.

1. Processing of data when accessing our website – log files

When accessing our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider and the like. In addition, the IP address is transmitted and used to provide the service you requested. This information is technically necessary in order to correctly deliver website content requested by you and is mandatory when using the Internet

According to our IT security concept, the accruing log file data is stored for a period of 120 days in order to detect and analyze any attacks against our website. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit f) DSGVO.

2. Individually tailored job recommendations

On our website, you have the option of receiving job recommendations individually tailored to you. For this purpose, we use the information you provide on the website or via the chatbot (preferred place of work, work experience, skills and job description) to show you suitable jobs. If you upload a resume, we automatically read the above information from it and use it to display suitable job offers. We store your details in pseudonymous form with the aid of a cookie for a period of 12 months in order to be able to display suitable job offers to you on the basis of your details when you access the website at a later date. It is therefore not possible for us to identify a specific person. The legal basis for setting the cookie is the consent given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a DSGVO. The legal basis for the further processing of the data to display suitable jobs is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

3. Creation of a profile

When requesting information for the individually tailored job recommendations, you have the option of providing personal information (name, e-mail address) on a voluntary basis. If you provide us with these, we will store your data in personalized form for 12 months in order to display our individually tailored job recommendations to you in personalized form and, in particular, to be able to address you personally for this purpose. The legal basis is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

4. Registration for the Job Alert

To register for our Job Alert, we use the so-called double-opt-in procedure. This means that after you have entered your e-mail address, we will send you a confirmation e-mail to the e-mail address you have entered, in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the Job Alert. If you do not confirm this within 4 hours, your registration will be automatically deleted. If you confirm your wish to receive the Job Alert, we will store your e-mail address for 12 months or until you unsubscribe from the Job Alert. The storage serves the purpose of being able to send you suitable job offers based on your search information. Furthermore, we store your IP addresses and the times of your registration each time you register and confirm, in order to prevent misuse of your personal data and to be able to provide proof of correct sending. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter a DSGVO.

Mandatory information for sending the Job Alert is the e-mail address, as well as the desired area and your career level, in order to be able to send appropriate job recommendations based on this. You can revoke your consent by clicking on the link provided in every Job Alert email.

5. Information to ensure data security

We take technical and organizational security precautions on our pages to protect the personal data stored with us from access by third parties, loss or misuse and to enable secure data transfer. We must point out that, due to the structure of the Internet, unauthorized access to data by third parties may occur. It is therefore also your responsibility to protect your data against misuse by encrypting it or in any other way. Without appropriate protective measures, unencrypted data in particular, even if transmitted by e-mail, can be read by third parties.

 

4. Use of web tracking

“Saloodo!” uses tracking software to determine how many users visit our website and how often. This software is not used to collect individual personal data or individual IP addresses. The data are used exclusively in anonymous and summary form for statistical purposes and in order to develop the website further.

5. Use of Cookies

“Cookies” are small files that allow specific information relating to you to be stored on your device while you visit this website. Cookies help to determine the frequency of use and the number of users who visit this website and to make our services to you as convenient and efficient as possible.

We uses “session cookies” in accordance with Article 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter f) GDPR in order to optimise this website and ensure convenient and unimpeded use. These cookies are only stored for the duration of your visit to this website. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser.

Secondly, “persistent cookies” are used to record information about visitors who regularly access this website. The reason for using these cookies is to be able to offer you optimum user guidance as well as to “recognise” you and to be able to present you with as varied a website and new content as possible during recurrent use.

When you access this website, a cookie banner will inform you that by using our website you consent to the use of cookies.

6. Social Media Links

Our website contains simple links to the following social media networks:

  • Facebook (operated by: Meta Platforms Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA)
  • Twitter (operated by: Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA)
  • LinkedIn (operated by: LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland)
  • Youtube (operated by: Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA)

In these cases, a transfer of data to the social media operators mentioned only takes place if the corresponding icon (e.g. the “f” of Facebook) is clicked. If you click on one of these icons, a page of the corresponding social media operator opens in a popup window. There, you can publish information about our products according to the regulations of the social media operator.

Furthermore, on some of the sites offered by us freely accessible content from the third-party provider Youtube is displayed. We do not transmit personal information to these third parties to display the content. YouTube has its own cookie and privacy policies which we do not control. Please inform yourself about the data collected by third-party providers from the respective provider.

7. Contact

You can contact us by the chat functionality or the contact forms on our website, e-mail, by phone, by social media or by post.  The personal data provided by you (e.g. first and last name, e-mail address, telephone number, address, remarks, customer number) are processed exclusively for the technical administration of our website and for providing you the requested services or information.

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR and Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest here arises from the aim of answering your enquiries and thus maintaining and promoting your satisfaction as a customer or user of our website. Our legitimate interest consists of in particular ensuring a smooth process flow, processing customer requests, direct marketing of its own products and services and continuously improving them.

Provided that no statutory or contractual retention periods need to be observed, your request will be stored for a maximum of two years with the relevant controller as proof of proper processing and for the purpose of further optimising services.

If you ask a question in the chat, one of our employees will answer your request. The following data are processed as part of the chat function:

  • Name
  • Role
  • Language
  • Country
  • Email address
  • Phone number

Depending on the conversation, further personal data of you may be collected. Furthermore, we save the history of the chats. This will save you from possible providing extensive explanations on the history of your inquiry as well as for constant quality control of our chat offer. If you do not wish to do so, you are welcome to let us know this by using the contact details listed above. Saved live chats will then be deleted by us immediately. We only store the chat history as long as it is necessary to process your request – and delete it automatically after one month at the latest. If you use the live chat outside of your service hours or if our employees are currently chatting with other customers, the live chat runs in the so-called offline mode (similar to a contact form). In this case we collect your first and last name as well as your e-mail address in order to address you politely with your name and to be able to answer your question by e-mail. It is also possible that you can send us a screenshot of your current browser window if required. In both cases (live chat and offline mode), the legal basis for recording is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit b) GDPR – therefore we process your data for the purpose of fulfilling the contract or pre-contractual measures – i.e. to answer your query.

8. Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps (API), belonging to Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (country) maps in order to visually provide geographical information. You can use this service to see our location and make it easier for you to find us. When you access sub-pages that incorporate a Google Maps map, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers. This may also include a transfer and storage of data on servers in the United States. This is the case regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged in to or whether no user account exists. When you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly mapped to your account. If you want to avoid this mapping to your profile at Google, you need to log out before activating the button.

Google saves your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Such evaluation is carried out in particular pursuant to Article 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter f) GDPR on the basis of Google’s legitimate interests in the insertion of personalised advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website.

For the location search, only the search address entered by the user is transferred. There is no link or storage between the search entry and the user.

If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in terms of the use of Google Maps, it is also possible to completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website cannot be used.

Data processing is performed on the basis of Article 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in visualising our online offers and easy findability of the locations we have indicated on the website.

9. Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager, a web service provided by Google to manage website tags. The Google Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookieless domain and does not collect personally identifiable information. The tool triggers other tags, which may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If disabled at the domain or cookie level, it will remain in effect for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager. You can read more about Tag Manager in the Google Tag Manager information.

10. Google Consent Mode and Enhanced Conversions

Our website uses Google Consent Mode and Enhanced Conversions to enhance your experience and provide relevant content and ads. Google Consent Mode ensures that your cookie consent status is accurately transmitted to Google. Enhanced Conversions enable us to measure interactions and conversions effectively. When you provide your email address and consent, it is securely encrypted and hashed before being matched with Google’s database for attributions, without revealing your original address. We may share limited data with Google for personalized advertising. You can manage your settings in our Privacy Preference Center.

11. Whatsapp

We will send you WhatsApp messages if you have consented to receive them or have accepted our privacy policy. Message and data rates may apply. If you do not wish to receive Whatsapp messages from us, please contact us
