Website

In this section you will find information on data collection, data processing, data deletion, data security and involvement of third-party providers in connection with your visit to our website savanna-ingredients.us

1. Server log files

Your browser automatically transmits access data (so-called “server log files“) to our server each time you visit one of our websites. The server log files may contain information such as:

  • the time of your visit,
  • the page from which you visit us (referrer URL),
  • the subpages visited,
  • the names of the requested files,
  • your IP address,
  • the data volume,
  • the browser you are using and
  • the requesting provider.

We and our vendors use the aforementioned information for operational purposes such as to ensure system security and to compile usage statistics. The respective data record will be deleted immediately after the respective purpose ceases to apply, but no later than 90 days after its collection unless we have a legitimate reason for longer retention (e.g., legal claims).

2. Cookies <

A “cookie” is a piece of data stored on your device that collects usage data in connection with your use of our website. When you visit our website, we and our vendors may use session cookies and similar technologies to collect information about the use of our website for essential operational purposes such as to ensure that our website is optimally available to you. These cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser.

If you do not wish to use cookies, you can block them in your browser settings. You can still visit our website, but you may not be able to use it to the same extent. We do not look for or take action on so-called browser“ do not track” signals given our limited use of essential operational cookies.

3. Contact and Cooperation

We are pleased that you are seeking contact with us or working with us as a business partner. If you use our contact form or reach out to us on another way, e.g. via e-mail, we regularly collect and process the following personal data:

  • Full name (voluntarily)
  • Professional contact details (address, telephone, e-mail, position, position in the company) which you provide
  • Content of you message

In addition, we ask you for further information about yourself in individual cases, for example private contact data or dates of birth.

If you communicate with us via portals or software applications, the IP address of the device from which you access the portal or software application and the time stamp is also collected. This collection happens automatically and without your intervention.

We process your personal data in particular in order to process your enquiry and request in the best possible way, for the initiation of future or implementation of existing business relationships and – if necessary – for the implementation of anti-terror checks and sanctions checks of our business customers, suppliers and service providers to the extent required by law. Other business purposes may apply depending on the individual case.

Your personal data will be deleted as soon as the processing purpose for which it was collected has ceased to exist, subject to record keeping and other legitimate retention purposes. Insofar as data is subject to statutory retention obligations in individual cases, it will remain stored until the expiry of the respective retention period.

Your personal data may be provided to third parties, esp. with other companies of the Pfeifer & Langen Group, to the extent that we use them to fulfill obligations arising from contracts concluded with you or if this is in our overriding, legitimate interest in an individual case.

Your personal data may be disclosed to authorities and courts as well as to lawyers, auditors, tax consultants, management consultants and similar service providers who are bound by legal secrecy.

4. Data security

We undertake reasonable efforts to protect the security and integrity of your personal data; provided, however, that no online or digital processing can be completely secure.

5. External service providers

For the provision and operation of our business, including our website and our IT systems, we work with external service providers that we have carefully selected and obligated in accordance with the data protection requirements by means of order processing contracts and whose activities we monitor. These service providers may be based in Germany or other territories outside of the United States, as well as within the United States.

Application

We are pleased if you send us your application voluntarily. We collect and process the personal data submitted in the application documents on the basis of your consent and for the purpose of deciding whether to establish an employment relationship. If we contact you following an application, you can find out here how we handle the contents of the communication.

1. Position advertised

If you apply for a specific, advertised position, we will only process your application documents for the purpose of deciding whether to fill the position to which the application relates. In the course of the application process, further personal data may also be collected and processed from you personally, from generally accessible sources or from former employers and trainers. In addition, we are required by law to subject your person to a so-called “sanctions list check“ or a so-called “anti-terror screening“. In this process, we compare the personal data you have provided with the sanctions lists of the EU and the USA.

If the application process does not lead to your employment, your personal data will be deleted after 90 days, calculated from the time the position is filled, unless we have another legitimate retention purpose (e.g., related to legal claims). If the application process leads to your employment, the data collected, including your application documents, will be included in your personnel file and will be processed in accordance with our internal requirements.

2. Unsolicited applications

Applications that do not relate to a specific position (unsolicited applications) are processed for the purpose of deciding whether to fill all vacancies that match your qualifications. In the course of the application process, further personal data may also be collected and processed from you personally, from generally accessible sources or from former employers and trainers. In addition, we are required by law to subject your person to a so-called “sanctions list check“ or a so-called “anti-terror screening“. In this process, we compare the personal data you have provided with the sanctions lists of the EU and the USA.

Your personal data will be deleted after 90 days calculated from the date of receipt of your application, unless they are still the subject of ongoing application procedures. If none of the application procedures leads to your employment, your personal data will be deleted after six months, calculated from the date on which the last position for which we considered you was filled. In either case, we may retain your personal data for a longer period where a legitimate basis applies (e.g., related to legal claims). If an application procedure leads to your employment, the data collected, including your application documents, will be included in your personnel file and will be processed in accordance with our internal requirements.

3. Disclosure of your applicant data

Personal data that you provide to us in the course of an application and / or that we collect from generally accessible sources or from former employers and trainers will be processed exclusively by us or our service providers.

4. External career platforms and professional social networks

Insofar as we place job advertisements on external career platforms and you apply via the functions available there, we receive your documents from the operators of the corresponding platform. As soon as we have received your personal data, we process it in the manner just described.. Please note that we have no influence on the data collection and data processing by the provider of the respective career platform. Please inform yourself on the respective platform about the type and scope of the data collection and data processing there.

We also use our accounts on external career platforms and professional social networks to search specifically for suitable candidates and to contact them. When we view your profile and / or contact you via the platform, we only use the existing functions of the platform and take note of the personal data you provide there. If we export your personal data from the platform (for example, via a download function offered on the platform), we process this data in the same way as documents that you have sent us for the purpose of a speculative application.

Your data subject’s rights vis-à-vis SAVANNA Ingredients
