The following data is processed:

For each mailing, each start and end time is stored, as well as for each subscriber that they were contacted and whether the email was delivered. This log is kept for two years. If the mailing is deleted beforehand, the log is also deleted 30 days after deletion. 
-    When did the subscriber open which mailing?
This data is stored anonymously, but can be distinguished. However, it is then not possible to conclude on the subscriber data record due to the anonymised collection.

o    the so-called user agent string of the browser/mail client from which the click was made 
o    which link from which mailing and which mailing was opened.

Information on the processing of employee data in the event of reports in the whistleblowing system in accordance with Art. 13 GDPR
 

We, motan holding gmbh, are obliged under the German Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG) to set up and maintain an internal reporting centre in accordance with Sections 12-18 HinSchG.

The task of the internal reporting office is to operate so-called reporting channels through which employees and temporary workers assigned to the employer can contact the internal reporting offices to report information about violations.

These reports are then processed by the internal reporting centre in accordance with a legally prescribed procedure and, if necessary, follow-up measures are taken by the internal reporting centre. We welcome reports via our internal reporting centre, even if an external reporting centre (set up by the federal government or an authority) can of course also be contacted.

In the course of a report to our internal reporting centre, we may receive personal data about the person making the report or about a person whose personal data is processed in the course of the report. At this point, we provide the relevant information on how we process personal data in the course of processing reports submitted via the whistleblower system. According to Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR, this personal data includes all information that relates or can be related to the person of the whistleblower, in particular by means of assignment to an identifier such as a name or to an organisational or personnel number with which a person can be identified.

 

Abstract:

  • The provision and establishment of an internal reporting centre is required by law. We therefore process personal data in the course of a report.
