Our Data Protection Notes are intended to be simply and easily understood. As a rule, the Data Protection Notes use the official General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) terms. The official definitions are explained in Art. 4 EU-GDPR.
Personal data is information about your personal and factual circumstances. This includes, for example, information such as name, address, telephone number and email address. In principle, it is not necessary for you to actively disclose personal data in order to use our internet pages.

No inference to individual persons is possible on the basis of this data. Within seven days at the latest, the data is anonymized by abbreviation of the IP address at domain level, so that it is no longer possible to relate them to the individual user.

Your data will be processed by us for the first time from the time of collection, provided that we are informed of this by you or a third party.
4. Duration of storage
The duration of storage of personal data is dependent on the relevant statutory retention periods (e.g. arising from commercial law and fiscal law). Following expiry of the relevant time limit, the corresponding data is routinely deleted. Where data is necessary for the purpose of fulfilment or initiation of a contract, or we have a legitimate interest in the continued storage, the data will be deleted when it is not longer necessary for these purposes or you have exercised your revocation or objection rights.
5. Passing on of data
No transfer of your personal data to third parties ensues, except:
a) When we have made specific reference to same in the description of the respective data processing process,
b) When you have expressly consented to same pursuant to point (a) of sentence 1 Article 6 (1) EU-GDPR,
c) The transfer is necessary pursuant to point (1) of Art. 6 (1) EU-GDPR for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest in the non-transfer of your data,
d) In cases in which a statutory obligation to pass on the data pursuant to point (c), sentence 1, Article 6 (1) EU-GDPR applies and
e) Where this is necessary pursuant to point (b), sentence 1, Article 6 (1) EU-GDPR for the processing of the contractual relationship with you.
Within the JUWI Group (this shall be taken to mean all the companies associated with JUWI GmbH pursuant to Section 15 AktG), only those bodies shall obtain access to personal data that require the data in order meet contractual and/or statutory obligations. As far as this is necessary in accordance with point (b) of sentence 1 of Article 6 (1) EU-GDPR for initiation, conclusion, processing and execution of contractual relationships and/or for other cooperation, your personal data will be passed on to third parties. This shall in particular include passing on to companies of the JUWI Group, subcontractors, cooperation partners, investors, banks and their representatives, lawyers and tax advisors, courts and other public authorities, as well as translators, for the purposes of correspondence and to assert claims and/or rights and/or defend rights, and IT service providers charged by us in the context of commissioned data processing as well as insurance providers. The data passed may only be used by third parties for the purposes specified. Your personal data will not be transferred to any third parties for any other than the purposes listed above.
Furthermore, we use external service providers for the execution of our services. These have been carefully selected and commissioned in writing. They are bound by our instructions and are regularly checked by us. Where necessary, we have concluded commissioned data processing contracts with them pursuant to Article 28 E-GDPR. These are service providers for web hosting, the dispatch of emails and the maintenance and updating of our IT system, etc. Our service providers will not pass the data on to third parties. Data transfer into countries outside of the European Union and the states that are party to the Treaty on the European Economic Area (“non-member countries”) ensues within the framework of the development and setting-up of worldwide renewable energy projects and the administration and operation of IT systems used by us. In this regard, the following is preconditioned and fulfilled by us:
a) The fulfilment of a statutory permit requirements
b) In particular, we guarantee an appropriate data protection level in accordance with the EU standard contract clauses for the transfer of personal data to non-member states through the conclusion of corresponding contracts. A copy of the standard contractual clauses issued by the EU Commission can be found on the internet under:
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/%20PDF/?uri=CELEX:32001D0497&from=DE
The transfer of data abroad or to supranational or intergovernmental bodies ensues only where permissible or demanded by law.
At present, applicable guaranties possibly do not exist for a data transmission to the US under current circumstances. The protection of personal data is limited. This results from the US right of security authorities to access data transmitted from the EU to the US and use this data, not being limited to an obligatory minimum extent. You may not be able to take legal proceedings against such data usage as a party concerned, if you do not have the US citizenship.
6. Your rights

a. In accordance with Article 7 (3) EU-GDPR, you may withdraw your consent given towards us at any time. This shall also apply to withdrawal of declarations of consent that were given to us before the application of the EU-GDPR, i.e. before May 25, 2018. The withdrawal of consent shall only have the consequence that we may no longer continue the processing activities that were based on this consent in future;

7. Notes on individual website offers
7.1 Newsletter
Do you want to receive the newsletter we offer on the website? In this case, we will require your email address and information that enables us to verify that you are the holder of the indicated email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. When mailing the newsletter, we use what is known as the double opt-in process. This means that we only send you our newsletter by email when you have expressly confirmed your consent to the receipt of our newsletter. To this end, you receive an email with a link which allows you to confirm that, as owner of the relevant email address, you wish to receive the newsletter in future. With this confirmation, you consent within the meaning of point (a) of Article 6 (1) EU-GDPR to our using your personal data for the purposes of mailing the desired newsletter. At the time of registration for the newsletter, we store the IP address through which you registered for the newsletter as well as the date and time of your registration and confirmation for the newsletter, in addition to the email address necessary for mailing. In this way we can track any possible abuse at a later point in time. No further data is collected.
The dispatch of our email newsletter of the JUWI Group ensues through the technical service provider CleverReach GmbH&Co KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 and Rastede ("CleverReach") to whom we pass on your data provided at the time of registration for the newsletter. This ensues in accordance with point (f) of Article 6 (1) EU-GDPR and serves our legitimate interest in the use of an advertising-effective, secure and user-friendly newsletter system. The data provided by you for the purpose of receiving the newsletter (e.g. email address) is stored on the CleverReach servers in Germany. We have concluded a commissioned data processing contract with CleverReach, in which we oblige CleverReach to protect the data of our customers and not to pass them on to third parties. The Data Protection Declaration of CleverReach can be viewed here: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/.
CleverReach uses this information on our instructions for mailing and statistical analysis of the newsletter. For analysis purposes, the emails sent contain what are known as web beacons or tracking pixels, which represent one-pixel image files which are stored on our website. These show whether a newsletter message has been opened and what links, if any, can been clicked. Furthermore, with the aid of what are known as conversion trackings, an analysis can be carried out to determine whether clicking on the link in the newsletter resulted in a previously-defined action (e.g. purchase of a product on our website). In addition, technical information is collected (e.g. time of viewing, IP address, browser type and operating system). The data is collected exclusively in pseudonymized form and is not linked with your further personal data; a direct attribution to you is ruled out. This data serves exclusively the purpose of statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to tailor the newsletter more closely to the interests of the recipients. If you wish to object to the data analysis for statistical analysis purposes, you need to cancel the receipt of the newsletter.
You can cancel the newsletter at any time through the link included in every newsletter or by email. Following cancellation, your email address will immediately be deleted from our newsletter mailing list, unless you have expressly consented to continued use of the collected data or continued processing is otherwise permissible by law.
7.2 JUWI operator login: virtual platform and MVV Enamic
You can register for an operator login in order to be able to view the operating results of your solar or wind energy plant via the respective platform or inform yourself of the current technical condition of your plant.
Within the framework of the login setup and registration, we collect and use the following personal data: form of address, first name, last name, postal address, business email address, company, user name and password. Furthermore, you can provide voluntary details of your function in the company, business mobile phone and fax number. The legal basis for the data processing is the fulfilment of the contract concluded with you pursuant to point (b) in Article 6 (1) EU-GDPR, provided the processing is necessary for the rendering of the desired services.
The data is collected and stored within the online platforms and can be exported. In the case of a new registration, JUWI will send the access information to the user by email. Passwords are issued by the users themselves and not administered by JUWI.
The data for registration and setup of the “JUWI Virtual Platform” are sent to our service provider meteocontrol GmbH, Spicherer Strasse 48, 86157 Augsburg, which provides the platform’s online service. This data is not otherwise passed on to third parties and is used exclusively for the respective online service. We have concluded a commissioned data processing contract with meteocontrol, in which we oblige meteocontrol, to protect the data of our customers and not to pass them on to third parties.
The data for registration and setup of the “MVV Enamic” are sent to our service provider MVV Enamic GmbH, Luisenring 49, 68159 Mannheim, which provides the platform’s online service. This data is not otherwise passed on to third parties and is used exclusively for the respective online service. We have concluded a commissioned data processing contract with MVV Enamic GmbH, in which we oblige MVV Enamic GmbH, to protect the data of our customers and not to pass them on to third parties.
Your data for the operator login of the “JUWI Virtual Platform” and “MVV Enamic” will be deleted as soon as the commercial/technical management contract between you and us is terminated or you request the deletion of the operator login for other reasons and this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. You can have your login, including the data provided by you, changed by corresponding notification to info(at)juwi-om.de or directly to data-protection(at)juwi.de.
7.3 General contact
Once you contact us and provide us with your contact details, we will process these contact details (name, email address, phone number) by way of correspondence.
The legal bases for this are point (b) of Article 6 (1) and point (f) of Article 6 (1) EU-GDPR. Establishing contact for sales purposes in the Business-to-Business area (B2B) may be seen as a legitimate interest within the meaning of the second rule under consideration of reconciliation of interests.
This data will not be passed on to any third parties outside of JUWI Group and shall be deleted without undue delay after the contact, if no further usage purposes result. In case of point (f) of Article 6 (1) EU-GDPR, you may object to the processing if the relevant laws do not permit processing activities, e.g. to perform a contract in accordance with point (b) of Article 6 (1) EU-GDPR or unless there is any statutory archiving obligation.
7.4 Web form for dispatch of applications
If you apply to us through our web form, we collect your personal data. This includes, in particular, your contact data (such as first name and surname, form of address, postal address, email address of the user and telephone number) as well as further data on your background provided by you (e.g. curriculum vitae, qualifications, educational qualifications and professional experience) and your person (e.g. address, personal interests). Particular categories of personal data may come under this heading (e.g. details of a severe disability). As a rule, your personal data is collected directly from you in the context of the application process and encrypted during electronic transfer. The data stems from the application form filled out online and the files uploaded.
The data processing serves for the initiation of an employment relationship. The overriding legal basis for this is point (b) in Article 6 (1) EU-GDPR in conjunction with Section 26, sub-section 1 BDSG. In addition, consent pursuant to point (a), Article 6 (1), 7 EU-GDPR in conjunction with Section 26, Sub-section 2 BDSG may be drawn on as legal consent. Where the processing of your data is based on consent, you have the right to revoke this consent with effect for the future at any time. Within our company, only those persons and bodies (e.g. Hum Resources department) will obtain access to your personal data that absolutely require them in order to conduct the application process to meet our contractual obligations. Where applicable, your application will be passed on to the respective responsible party for examination. Under no circumstances will your personal data be passed on to third parties.
Data regarding an application for a specific advertised position will be stored and processed by us during the ongoing application process. Following conclusion of the application process (for example in the form of a job offer or rejection), the application incl. all personal data will be deleted from the system within six months of the termination of the application process. In the event of a job offer, we reserve the right to retain your application for a longer period, provided the date of entry lies more than six months in the future.
8. Security
In compliance with Article 32 EU-GDPR and giving consideration to the state of the art, the implementation costs and the type, scope, circumstances and purpose of the processing, as well as the different degrees of likelihood of occurrence and the severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we take suitable technical and organizational measures to guarantee a degree of protection that is appropriate with the risk. For security reasons and as a form of protection when transferring confidential information, we use SSL encryption.
We will protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use or publication, and we will ensure that your personal data that are stored in our IT infrastructure are within a controlled, secure environment in which unauthorized access and publication are prevented. All of our employees and all persons involved in processing activities are obligated to comply with the EU-GDPR, the BDSG-new and other laws relevant for data protection, and for confidential handling of personal data.
In case of collection and processing of personal data, the information will be transmitted encrypted in order to prevent misuse of data by third parties. Our security measures will be revised continually according to the technological developments.

13. Social Media
13.1 Links to social media
Social networks – Facebook, Twitter, Xing, LinkedIn and Instagram – appear on our website only in the form of a link to the corresponding service. When the imbedded text/image link is clicked, you will be forwarded to the site of the respective provider. Only then will user information be transferred to the respective provider. We are not aware of, nor do we have any influence over, the scope of the processing of your data by other providers as soon as you call up the providers site.

For the integration and display of video contact, our website uses plug-ins from YouTube. Provider of the video portal is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.
When you visit a site with a YouTube plug-in, you are shown a preview image of this video. In addition to showing the video, when you click on the preview image, connections are established to servers of YouTube and the Google advertising network DoubleClick. The link connection ensues using what is known as the “extended data protection mode”, so that no YouTube cookies are used.
Even so, the connection link with YouTube results in data transfer, e. g. with information on the site from which the connection ensued.
YouTube can assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile if you happen to be logged in to your YouTube account. You can prevent this by logging out beforehand.
JUWI has no influence over, and only limited knowledge of, how and to what extent your data is processed.
The legal basis for the imbedding of YouTube and the associated transfer of data to Google is your consent point (a) of Article 6 (1) EU-GDPR.
Details on the handling of user data can be found in the YouTube data protection declaration under: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
13.3 JUWI YouTube presence
Data processed by YouTube: The JUWI Group uses a YouTube channel belonging to Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland. We would like to point out that you use the YouTube channel offered here and its functions under your own responsibility. This applies to the use of the comment function in particular. The data that Google processes and the purposes of such processing can be found in the Google privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en#infocollect
The JUWI Group has no influence over the type and scope of the data processed by Google, the type of processing and use or the passing on of such data to third parties. It also has no effective means of supervision in this respect. When you use Google, your personal data is recorded, stored, disclosed and used by Google and, regardless of your place of residence, may be transferred to the United States, Ireland and any other country in which Google does business, where it may be stored and used. It may be transferred to companies associated with Google and to other trusted companies or persons who process them on behalf of Google. Google processes both the data that you entered voluntarily, such as your name and user name, email address and telephone number, and the content that you create, upload or obtain from others during your use of the services. This includes for example photographs and videos that you store, documents and spreadsheets that you create and comments that you write about YouTube videos. However, Google also evaluates the content shared by you to identify the topics you are interested in, stores and processes confidential messages that you send directly to other users and can identify your location with reference to GPS data, information on wireless networks or via your IP address in order to send you advertising or other content.
Google may also use analysis tools such as Google Analytics for the analysis. The JUWI Group has no influence over Google’s use of such tools and also has not been informed of such potential use. If Google does use this type of tool for the JUWI Group’s YouTube channel, the JUWI Group has not requested or supported this. The data obtained from the analysis is also not made available by JUWI. In addition, the JUWI Group is unable to prevent or discontinue the use of such tools on its YouTube channel. However, certain subscriber profiles are visible to the JUWI Group via their accounts.
Google also obtains information when you view content, for example, even if you have not created an account. This log data may include the IP address, type of browser, operating system, information about the previously visited website and the pages you have viewed, your location, your mobile telephony provider, the device you used (including the device ID and application ID), the search terms you used and cookie information.
You have the option of restricting the processing of your data in the general settings for your Google account. In addition to these tools, Google also offers specific privacy settings for YouTube. To find out more, read the data protection guidance notes for Google products at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/product-privacy?hl=en&gl=en.

Data processed by the JUWI Group: The JUWI Group also processes your data when you communicate with us via YouTube. The processing is carried out for the purposes of the JUWI Group's public relations work in connection with the tasks assigned to it by law (point (e) in Article 6 (1) EU-GDPR in connection with the respective specialist law). The recipient of the data is initially Google, where it may be passed on to third parties for their own purposes and under the responsibility of Goggle. The recipient of publications is also the public, i.e. potentially every YouTube user. As a matter of fact the JUWI Group itself does not collect any data via its YouTube channel. Also via the integration of the YouTube videos of the JUWI Group on its website (https://www.juwi.de), the IP addresses of the site visitors are not transmitted to Google. In particular, no tracking of any kind takes place on the website.
However, the data you enter on YouTube, in particular your username and the content published under your account, will be processed by us in so far as we may respond to your publications under "comments". The data freely published and distributed by you on YouTube are, therefore, included by the JUWI Group in its offer and made available to its followers.

Data processing for statistical purposes by means of site insights: Facebook makes what are known as site insights available for our Facebook fan page:
https://www.facebook.com/business/a/page/page-insights. These are summarized data which provide insights into the persons interacting on our site. Site insights can be based on personal data collected in the context of a visit or interaction with persons on or with our site and in the context of the content provided there. Please note the personal data you share with us via Facebook. Your data can be processed for our market research and advertising purposes, even when you are not logged in on Facebook or have no Facebook account. In this way, it is possible, for example to compile user profiles from the user behaviour and the relevant interests. In turn, the user profiles can be used, for example, to place advertisements inside and outside of the platforms which probably match the interests of the user. This data recording ensues via cookies stored on your end device. Furthermore, data which is independent of the devices used by the user can be stored in the user profiles; in particular, when the users are members of the respective platforms and logged in there. Legal basis for the processing is point (f) of Article 6 (1) EU-GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the optimum presentation of our offer, effective information and communication with the customer and potential customers and in the targeted placement of advertising. Please note that we have no influence on the collection of data or further processing by Facebook. Consequently, we can provide no information on the scope, location or duration of data stored by Facebook. Furthermore, we can make no statement on whether Facebook is complying with existing deletion obligations, on the analysis and linking undertaken with this data by Facebook and to whom the data is transferred by Facebook. If you wish to avoid the processing of your personal data by Facebook, please contact us by some other means.
