The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. When you use this website, various items of personal data are collected. Personal data is data by which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. We point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. Information on the controller The controller responsible for data processing on this website is: MESKRU GmbH Alfredstrasse 81 45128 Essen, Germany Phone: +49 201 89076419 Email: hello@meskru.com The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses or similar). Storage period Unless a more specific storage period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place once these grounds cease to apply.

Information on data transfers to the USA and other third countries Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or in other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We point out that in these countries a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed. For example, US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data held on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities. Withdrawal of your consent to data processing Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal. Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR) IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS RELATING TO 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 POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS THE PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR). 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 PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS CONNECTED WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR). Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority In the event of infringements 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 remedy. Right to data portability You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible. Information, deletion and correction Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, where applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You may contact us at any time regarding this and any further questions on the subject of personal data. Right to restriction of processing You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases: If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If the processing of your personal data was or is being carried out unlawfully, you may request the restriction of the data processing instead of deletion. If we no longer need your personal data but you need it to exercise, defend or establish legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion. If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or 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. SSL and TLS encryption For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address bar changes from „http://“ to „https://“ and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. Objection to advertising emails We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the framework of the legal notice obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example by spam emails.

4. Data collection on this website, Cookies
Our websites use so-called „cookies“. Cookies are small text files and do no harm to your terminal device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are deleted automatically at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until they are deleted automatically by your web browser. In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to make use of certain services of the third-party company (e.g. cookies for processing payment services). Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies serve to analyse user behaviour or to display advertising. Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is stated. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Where consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of that consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG); consent may be withdrawn at any time. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited. Where cookies are used by third-party companies or for analytics purposes, we will inform you separately about this within this privacy policy and, where applicable, request your consent. Contact form If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass this data on without your consent. This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry is connected with the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) where this has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been dealt with). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected. Enquiry by email, telephone or fax If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry including all personal data arising from it (name, enquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass this data on without your consent. This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry is connected with the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) where this has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time. The data you send to us via contact enquiries will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been dealt with). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected. Data processing We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with the provider named above. This is a contract required by data protection law which ensures that the provider processes our website visitors' personal data only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.​ Protection against misuse of our forms To protect our contact, application and download forms against automated submissions (spam), we use two technical measures. First, our forms contain an additional field that is invisible to you and is only ever completed by automated programs. If this field is filled in, we discard the submission without storing or forwarding it; no additional data about you is created in the process. Second, we limit the number of submissions that can be sent from the same IP address within a short period. For this purpose we process your IP address for a maximum of ten minutes, exclusively in our server's working memory. The data is not stored permanently, not combined with other data and not passed on to third parties; once this period has elapsed, the counter is deleted automatically. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in preventing misuse of our forms and in ensuring the functionality and security of our website. No cookies are set, no third-party services are involved and no data is processed outside our hosting. Sending of emails and contact management For sending the notifications and acknowledgements relating to our forms, and for managing contacts, we use the service Brevo. The provider is Sendinblue SAS, 9–17 rue Salneuve, 75017 Paris, France. When you submit a form on this website, the data you provide – including, in the case of applications, the documents you upload – is processed through Brevo's systems in order to deliver it to us. For contact and information enquiries, a contact record is additionally created; applicant data is excluded from this. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR insofar as the processing serves to handle your enquiry or the initiation of a contractual or employment relationship, and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. You can find further information in Brevo's privacy policy at: https://www.brevo.com/legal/privacypolicy/.

5. Analytics tools and advertising, Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, time spent on the site, operating systems used and the user's origin. This data is assigned to the user's respective terminal device. It is not assigned to a user ID. Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This service is used on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/. IP anonymisation We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. As a result, your IP address is shortened by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transferred to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred 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, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with further services relating to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. Browser plugin You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You can find more information on how Google Analytics handles user data in Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245. Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics This website uses the „demographic characteristics“ function of Google Analytics in order to display suitable advertisements to website visitors within the Google advertising network. This makes it possible to create reports containing information on the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising by Google and from third-party visitor data. This data cannot be assigned to any specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account, or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described under „Objection to data collection“. Data processing We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Furthermore, the conferencing tools process the duration of the conference, the start and end (time) of participation in the conference, the number of participants and other „context information“ in connection with the communication process (metadata). Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes all technical data required to handle the online communication. This includes in particular IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or loudspeaker as well as the type of connection. Where content is exchanged, uploaded or otherwise provided within the tool, this is also stored on the servers of the tool providers. Such content includes in particular cloud recordings, chat and instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards and other information shared during use of the service. Please note that we do not have full influence over the data processing operations of the tools used. Our options depend largely on the corporate policy of the respective provider. Further information on data processing by the conferencing tools can be found in the privacy policies of the respective tools used, which we have listed below this text. Purpose and legal bases The conferencing tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to offer certain services to our customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

Where consent has been requested, the tools concerned are used on the basis of that consent; consent may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future. Storage period The data collected directly by us via the video and conferencing tools is deleted from our systems as soon as you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected. We have no influence over the storage period of your data that is stored by the operators of the conferencing tools for their own purposes.

8. Own services, Handling of applicant data
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by email, by post or via an online application form). Below we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data takes place in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions, and that your data is treated in strict confidence. Scope and purpose of data collection If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general initiation of a contract) and – where you have given consent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Within our company, your personal data is passed on exclusively to persons involved in processing your application. If the application is successful, the data you submit will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship. Retention period of the data If we are unable to make you a job offer, you decline a job offer or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have transmitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application procedure (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data is then deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. The retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an imminent or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place once the purpose for the further retention no longer applies. Longer retention may also take place if you have given corresponding consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations preclude deletion. Inclusion in the applicant pool If we do not make you a job offer, there may be the option of including you in our applicant pool. In the event of inclusion, all documents and information from the application are transferred to the applicant pool so that we can contact you in the event of suitable vacancies. Inclusion in the applicant pool takes place exclusively on the basis of your express consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Giving consent is voluntary and bears no relation to the ongoing application procedure. The data subject may withdraw their consent at any time. In this case, the data is irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool, provided there are no statutory grounds for retention. The data in the applicant pool is irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent was given.

Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general legislation remain unaffected. However, liability in this respect is only possible from the point in time at which we become aware of a specific infringement.
