This Privacy Notice applies to our online services, in particular those available at proforg.com, and whenever reference is made to this Privacy Notice from any of our other services (e.g. websites, subdomains, mobile applications, web services or integrations into third-party websites), regardless of how you access or use them.
All of these services are collectively referred to as “Services”.
Our Services may include content, services and offerings from other providers. In order for such content to be retrieved and displayed in the user’s browser, transmission of the user’s IP address is technically necessary. The providers (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) therefore receive the IP address of the respective user.
Although we endeavour to use only third-party providers that require the IP address solely for the purpose of delivering content, we have no control over whether the IP address may be stored. Where applicable, this process may also serve statistical purposes. If we become aware that an IP address is being stored, we will inform our users accordingly.
If we transfer data to third countries, i.e. countries outside the European Union, such transfers are carried out exclusively in compliance with the applicable legal requirements.
If the transfer of data to a third country is not necessary for the performance of our contract with you, you have not provided consent, the transfer is not necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, and none of the exceptions under Article 49 GDPR applies, we will only transfer your data to a third country if an adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45 GDPR or appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR are in place.
An adequate level of data protection in the USA was most recently established by the adequacy decision concerning the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF) adopted in July 2023. US companies must certify under the framework in order to be listed.
Further information on the Data Privacy Framework can be found in the European Commission’s adequacy decision.
We have agreed EU Standard Contractual Clauses with providers in third countries and, in some cases, data processing on servers located in Germany and the EU. Timely deletion of data reduces the risk of unauthorised access.
Alternatively or additionally, entering into the EU Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the European Commission with the recipient provides appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46(2)(c) GDPR and an adequate level of data protection. Copies of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses are available on the European Commission’s website.
Your data will not be transferred to unauthorised third parties. Where external service providers receive your personal data, we have ensured that they implement appropriate technical and organisational measures and comply with the applicable data protection regulations and laws.
We store personal data in accordance with the principles of data avoidance and data minimisation only for as long as necessary or as required by law (statutory retention periods). Once the purpose for which the data was collected no longer applies or the retention period has expired, the data will be blocked or deleted.
The following information explains the purpose, nature and scope of the processing of your personal data when you visit our website.
When using our website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server.
When you visit our website, we collect the following data that is technically necessary for us to display the website to you and to ensure its stability and security. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest):
When JavaScript is enabled, the following information is also collected:
This website uses so-called cookies. These are text files stored on your computer by the server. They may contain information about your browser, IP address, operating system and Internet connection. We do not disclose this data to third parties or link it to personal data without your consent.
Cookies primarily serve two purposes. They help us make it easier for you to navigate our Services and ensure that the website is displayed correctly. They are not used to introduce viruses or launch programs.
You can also access our Services without cookies. To do so, you must change the relevant settings in your browser. Please refer to your browser’s help function for information on how to disable cookies. Please note, however, that disabling cookies may impair certain functions of this website and reduce ease of use.

On our website, we use the “Real Cookie Banner” WordPress plugin provided by devowl.io GmbH, Tannet 12, 94539 Grafling, Germany, to obtain your consent to the use of services and cookies.
The purpose of this processing is to obtain your consent for technically non-essential cookies used on our website and to document such consent in accordance with applicable data protection regulations and laws.
When you visit our website, a cookie is stored in your browser documenting the consent you have given or withdrawn.
The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR – a legal obligation requiring consent to be obtained before technically non-essential cookies are used.
The data collected will be stored until you request its deletion, delete the cookie yourself, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
Further details regarding data processing can be found in the provider’s Privacy Notice.
Our website was created using the open-source content management system WordPress. This service is provided by Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA (hereinafter referred to as “WordPress”).
We also use extensions (so-called plugins) provided by various WordPress service providers to make our website visually appealing and user-friendly.
The data is stored locally until it is no longer required for the purposes stated above.

Further information on data processing can be found in the WordPress Privacy Notice.
If you send us an enquiry via our contact form, the information you provide in the form, including your contact details, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case we need to contact you with follow-up questions. Providing this information is entirely voluntary.
The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling enquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
You may object to the processing of your data at any time. The lawfulness of processing carried out before the objection remains unaffected.
Your data will remain with us until you request its deletion, object to its processing, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. once your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.
Your data will not be disclosed to unauthorised third parties. The data collected through the contact form will also not be cross-referenced with data that may have been collected through other components of our website.
This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Google Analytics”).
Google Analytics uses so-called cookies. These are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website.
The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of the website, such as:
is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA.
The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. We have also extended Google Analytics on this website with the “anonymizeIP” code. This ensures that your IP address is modified so that the data is collected anonymously. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide other services related to website and Internet usage to the website operator.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. Please note, however, that if you do so, you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.
The legal basis for processing the data is your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the corresponding opt-out link. An opt-out cookie will then be set to prevent your data from being collected during future visits to this website.
The opt-out cookie only applies to this browser and this website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you will need to set the opt-out cookie again.
Further legal information concerning Google Analytics can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and comply with the applicable requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
We use the data collected to determine how our website is used. This helps us optimise our website and continuously improve its user-friendliness. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in processing your personal data.
We delete your personal data once it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was processed. This is the case after a maximum of 14 months.
Further information on how Google handles user data can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy.
This website uses Google Tag Manager, a service provided by Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, which belongs to Google Inc., headquartered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Tag Manager provides a technical platform for running and centrally managing other web services and web tracking programmes using so-called “tags”. In this context, Google Tag Manager stores cookies on your computer and analyses your browsing behaviour to the extent that web tracking tools are implemented via Google Tag Manager.
The data transmitted by individual tags integrated into Google Tag Manager is consolidated, stored and processed by Google Tag Manager via a central user interface. All integrated tags are listed separately in this Privacy Notice.
When tags are enabled on our website, data such as your IP address and user activities may be transmitted to servers operated by Google Ireland Ltd. and processed and stored outside the European Union, including in the USA.
On our behalf, Google uses this information to analyse your visit to this website, compile reports on website activity and provide us with further services relating to website and Internet usage.
The IP address transmitted by your browser via Google Tag Manager is not merged with other data held by Google Ireland Ltd.
Data is stored and analysed on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent), either as part of registration with Google (opening a Google account and accepting the data protection provisions implemented there) or, if you are not registered with Google, through your explicit consent when opening our website.
You may withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings.
Further information on data protection when using Google Tag Manager can be found in Google’s information on Google Tag Manager.
We use the Google service reCAPTCHA to determine whether a particular input in our web forms is being made by a human or a computer and to ensure the security of our website.
This service is provided by Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, which belongs to Google Inc., headquartered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google processes the following data to provide, maintain and secure the service:

Data may also be processed in third countries in accordance with Section 1.4 of this Privacy Notice.
We have a legitimate interest in protecting our online services against abusive automated access, spam and misuse. Where consent is requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time via the cookie settings.
Further details can be found in Google’s information on reCAPTCHA.
For the consistent visual presentation of fonts, we use fonts provided by Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited, 4–6 Riverwalk, City West Business Campus, Saggart, D24, Ireland.
These are dynamically loaded fonts. The service provider may process technical data such as your IP address and browser type.
The use of this service is in our interest in providing a consistent and appealing presentation of our online services. Processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, with your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings.
Further information can be found in Adobe Fonts’ Privacy Information.
If you apply for a position advertised by us or submit a speculative application by email or post, we require and process, among other things, the following personal data:
If information required for the recruitment process is missing, we may request it separately where it is necessary for our decision-making process.
We collect and process applicants’ personal data for the purpose of handling the recruitment process and deciding whether to establish an employment relationship.
This processing is based on Article 88(1) GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Article 6(1)(b) GDPR – pre-contractual measures.
Where you provide documents containing special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9(1) GDPR, the legal basis for processing this data is Article 9(2)(a) GDPR (explicit consent), as the data has been provided voluntarily and knowingly.
Where such data contains information required for professional activities, the legal basis is Article 9(2)(b) GDPR – performance of a contract.
It is particularly important to us to handle your personal data confidentially and responsibly throughout the recruitment process. The information you provide will only be processed for the purposes stated above.
As a general rule, only those persons who require access to your data for the proper handling of the recruitment process will have access to it. Your data will not be disclosed to unauthorised third parties.
If we enter into an employment contract with an applicant, the information provided will be stored for the purpose of managing the employment relationship in accordance with statutory requirements.
Please note that, as part of the recruitment process, we may also review and use publicly available information. This includes, for example, information found through search engines or information you have published about yourself on professional social networks such as Xing, LinkedIn or Stepstone.
We may also contact you via professional social networks.
This processing constitutes a pre-contractual measure for preparing and initiating a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
The categories of data processed include personal and contact details as well as other information that you have made publicly available, such as photographs and professional history.
For this purpose, we only process personal data that is relevant to the position being filled.
If the controller does not enter into an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will generally be automatically deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, unless deletion is prevented by contractual, statutory or other legitimate interests of the controller.
Such a legitimate interest may, for example, be an obligation to retain evidence for the defence of proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
You may withdraw your application, either in whole or in part, at any time. You may also request the deletion or amendment of all or individual data and files you have submitted at any time.
You may likewise withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data submitted as part of your application at any time, with effect for the future. An email to us is sufficient for this purpose.
Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing. Where applicable, you also have the right to rectification, blocking or deletion of this data.
For this purpose, and for any other questions concerning personal data, you may contact us at the address provided in the Legal Notice or contact our Data Protection Officer.
Many data processing activities are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent that you have already given at any time.
An informal notification by email is sufficient for this purpose. The lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected.
If the processing of your data is based on Article 6(1)(a) or (f) GDPR (consent or legitimate interest), you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this Privacy Notice.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR).
If you are a customer of ours, your data may also be used for direct marketing where this relates to the same or similar topics connected with the services you have commissioned.
If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (Article 21(2) GDPR).
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.
The supervisory authority responsible for us is:
The Hessian Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information
Gustav-Stresemann-Ring 1
65189 Wiesbaden
Germany
Telephone: +49 611 14080
Email: poststelle@datenschutz.hessen.de
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, either for yourself or for a third party, in a commonly used and machine-readable format.
If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out where technically feasible.
You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time at the address provided in the Legal Notice.
The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may, apart from being stored, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, 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.
To ensure that our Privacy Notice always complies with current legal requirements, we reserve the right to amend it at any time.
This also applies where the Privacy Notice needs to be adapted as a result of new or revised services, such as the introduction of new services.
The updated Privacy Notice will apply from your next visit to our Services.
