Privacy Policy

Thank you for your interest in our company. Data protection is of the utmost importance to the CEO of PORR GmbH & Co. KGaA. PORR GmbH & Co. KGaA's websites may for the main part be used without submitting personal data. If a data subject wishes to avail themselves of specific services provided by our company via our website, this may necessitate the processing of personal data. If this is necessary, we will obtain the data subject's consent.

Personal data will always be processed subject to the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with national data protection legislation. This data protection policy is designed to inform our users about the contents and purposes of the personal data that we collect and process. Furthermore, this data protection policy informs data subjects about the rights they are entitled to.

As the website operator, PORR GmbH & Co. KGaA has implemented an extensive number of technical and organisational measures in order to ensure that the data processed in connection with this website is reliably protected. However, there is always a possibility that data transmissions between your device and our server may feature security gaps, especially if the device you are using to communicate with our server can be accessed by third parties. If you have any concerns regarding security, you can use an alternative method, e.g. the telephone or one of our branch offices, to submit your information.

1. Definition of terms
PORR GmbH & Co. KGaA's data protection policy is based on the provisions and definitions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection policy is designed to be easily readable and comprehensible for our visitors, clients and business partners. In order to ensure this, we would like to define the terms used beforehand:

1) Personal data
Personal data comprises all information relating to an identifiable natural person.

2) Data subject
A data subject is any identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by a controller.

3) Controller
The controller is the company that collects the data subject's personal data and determines the purposes and means of processing.

4) Processor
The processor is a natural person or company involved by the controller in the processing of personal data.

5) Recipient
The recipient is a natural or legal person, or public authority, to whom the personal data are disclosed.

6) Third party
A third party is a natural or legal person or public authority who processes personal data on behalf of the controller or processor.

7) Processing
Processing is any operation performed in connection with personal data. This ranges from the collection and storage to the restriction or erasure of personal data.

8) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing means limiting the use of personal data.

9) Consent
Consent means any statement issued by a person to indicate that he or she agrees to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.

10) Revocation
A person issuing a revocation revokes the right of the controller to process his or her data on the basis of consent.

11) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation separates the data from the identifiable person. This connection cannot be re-established without the use of additional, specially safeguarded information. The pseudonymisation process also corresponds to what is known as data minimisation.

12) Profiling
Profiling is any form of automated evaluation of personal data.

2. Name and address of the controller
For the purposes of the GDPR, the controller is:
PORR GmbH & Co. KGaA

2) Your computer's operating system
3) The website that linked you to us
4) Pages accessed on our web server
5) The date and time of your visit
6) Your IP address

When using this anonymously collected information, PORR GmbH & Co. KGaA will not attempt to use it to identify the data subject. This data is, however, necessary in order to deliver the content of our website correctly, optimise the display, and provide the authorities with the necessary information in the event of a hacking attack. The data is therefore processed by PORR GmbH & Co. KGaA both statistically and as a technical measure to ensure data protection and information security of this processing and your data.

5. Cookies
PORR GmbH & Co. KGaA's web pages use cookies, i.e. text files that are stored in a computer's data system via an Internet browser.
Cookies contain a cookie ID, which is an unambiguous identifier. They allow PORR GmbH & Co. KGaA to distinguish the data subject's browser from other Internet browsers, display content in an individualised manner and cater to the data subject's wishes and results.

10. Data protection relating to applications and during the application process
The controller collects and processes applicants' personal data for the purposes of implementing the application process. This processing may also be undertaken by electronic means.

KGaA or the applicant's consent to further processing. If your application is not targeted towards a specific role listed in the careers portal (speculative application), your data may be forwarded on to a company within the PORR Group, depending on your qualifications, to satisfy mutual, legitimate interests.
