This HYPERGANIC Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") describes how we collect, process, and disclose information related to you as a natural person (“Personal Data”), and what rights you have with respect to the processing of your Personal Data.
Under the prerequisite that we act as Controller, this Privacy Policy applies when you:

We may also collect registration information related to your attendance at one of our events, including travel information, scheduling information, food preferences or allergies, and accessibility requests.
2.3 DEVICE AND BROWSER DATA
When you visit or use one of our websites, platforms or applications, online and technical information from your computer or mobile device may be collected, such as: device type, location, information about the browser type and version, the operating system and version, the ISP or mobile carrier, the IP Address (or proxy server) and geographic areas derived from your IP address, time and date of access, duration of access, referring URL (if any), and identifiers that help us recognize your device and validate that you are a licensed user.
In most cases, you provide the Personal Data directly to us by accessing one of our websites or by registering and/or using one of the Services. We may also obtain Personal Data from your employer in the context of providing the Services or from third party suppliers, social networks, or partners.
We use the Personal Data collected as described in this Privacy Policy, as specified in any agreement concluded with you, or as disclosed to you in connection with the Services. We do not carry out any statistical evaluation of a data subject’s behavior (profiling); in particular, there is no automated decision-making (see Art. 22 Para. 1 and Para. 4 GDPR and Art. 6 Para. 1(b) GDPR).
4.1 PROVIDING THE REQUESTED SERVICE
We process your Personal Data to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, including to:
4.2 COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS
If you contact us via our website, via email or in any other way, we process your Personal Data to understand and respond to your request and to provide customer service. In such circumstances, your request might be internally forwarded to the responsible department at HYPERGANIC.
4.3 SALES & MARKETING ACTIVITIES
We may use your email address for direct advertising, to communicate news about upcoming events, products, and services, and for surveys. We also use your email address, which we receive in connection with the sale of a product or service, for direct advertising of products or services similar to the ones you ordered.
Our marketing emails permit you to opt-out of receiving further communications by selecting the “unsubscribe” link. In addition, you may opt-out from marketing communication at any time by contacting privacy@hyperganic.com.
4.4 STATISTICS
To improve performance of the Services, to assess and improve the customer and user experience, to identify future opportunities for development of the Services, and to assess capacity requirements, we may analyze aggregated, anonymized or statistical information based on Personal Data.
4.5 SECURITY & COMPLIANCE
We may analyze your Personal Data to maintain the security of the Services and facilities, to enforce our terms and conditions; to protect against, investigate and deter fraudulent, unauthorized, or illegal activity; and to avoid and detect attacks on our website or applications or misuse of our Services.
When we collect and use your Personal Data, we will only do so where at least one of the following applies:
Your Personal Data may be transferred to affiliates and partners of HYPERGANIC as well as to a limited number of service providers (Processors) that perform processing operations such as data storage, hosting or communication services. These service providers process Personal Data on our instructions only and have implemented state-of-the-art technical and organizational measures to safeguard the processed data. All Processors have been selected carefully and are closely monitored. The following is a list of the names of HYPERGANIC’s key sub-processors and the purposes for which they process Personal Data (as changed from time to time):
| Sub-processor | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Amazon Web Services (AWS) | Cloud infrastructure hosting |
| Digital Ocean | Cloud infrastructure hosting |
| Atlassian Jira | Development tracking tool |
| Microsoft (Office 365) | Email hosting, storage |
| Slack | Internal communication |
| Zoom Video Communications | Video telephony software program |
Your Personal Data will be deleted upon your request or as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which the Personal Data has been collected, namely, to provide the requested Services. If legal regulations (e.g., by fiscal, commercial, or contractual law) apply that require longer storage of your Personal Data, or if we need your Personal Data to assert legal claims or defend against legal claims, we will store your Personal Data until the expiration of the corresponding storage period or until the settlement of the claims.
Any user account and its related data in applications where we act as Controller will be deleted upon your request or after three years of inactivity.
Personal Data is protected by us by means of suitable technical and organizational measures in order to ensure an appropriate level of protection and to safeguard the personal rights of the persons concerned. The measures taken serve, among other things, to prevent unauthorized access to the technical equipment used by us and to protect Personal Data from unauthorized disclosure by third parties. In particular, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as your contact requests that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. Nevertheless, we would like to point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is therefore not possible.
9.1 CALLING UP AND VISITING OUR WEBSITE – SERVER LOG FILES
For the purpose of the technical provision of the website, it is necessary that we process certain information automatically transmitted by your browser so that our website can be displayed in your browser and you can use the website. This information is automatically collected each time our website is called up and automatically stored in so-called server log files. These are:
9.2 COOKIES – SESSION IDS
Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser. There are different categories of cookies, mainly (i) technical cookies necessary for the basic website functionality, (ii) functional cookies that enhance functions and performance and (iii) analyzing/marketing cookies that track website activity.
On our websites, we only use so-called session IDs or session tokens. A session ID is a unique identifier that a website assigns to a specific user for the duration of the session, to keep track of visitor activity for user authentication purposes. A session ID is a technical cookie which is necessary for the functionality of the website and is automatically deleted once the user ends the session.
Apart from that, we have designed our websites so that no cookies are used. A tracking or analysis is also not carried out.
9.3 NEWSLETTER - MAILCHIMP
When you sign up for our newsletter, you submit to us your first name, last name and email address and give us the right to contact you by email. We use the data stored as part of the registration for the newsletter exclusively for our newsletter and do not pass it on.
If you unsubscribe from the newsletter - you will find the link for this at the very bottom of each newsletter - we will delete all data that was stored with the newsletter registration.
We send newsletters with MailChimp and use functions of the newsletter service MailChimp of the company The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308 USA on this website to collect newsletter registrations.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT MAILCHIMP
Rocket Science Group LLC (MailChimp) maintains online platforms that allow our users to stay in touch with their subscribers, primarily via email. They allow users to upload email addresses and other subscriber profile information, such as name, physical address, and other demographic information, to the MailChimp database. This information is used to send emails and enable the use of certain other MailChimp features for those users. In accordance with its published privacy policy, MailChimp shares some information with third-party vendors to provide and support the services MailChimp offers to users. MailChimp also shares some information with third-party advertising partners to better understand users' needs and interests in order to provide more relevant content and targeted advertising to those users and other users.
NEWSLETTER SIGNUP
If you sign up for our newsletter on our website, the data you enter will be stored by MailChimp.
DELETION OF YOUR DATA
You can withdraw your consent to receive our newsletter at any time within the email received by clicking on the link at the bottom. Once you have unsubscribed by clicking on the unsubscribe link, your data will be deleted from MailChimp.
NEWSLETTER EVALUATION
When you receive a newsletter via MailChimp, information such as IP address, browser type and email program is stored to give us information about the performance of our newsletter. MailChimp can determine if the email has arrived, if it has been opened and if links have been clicked by means of images called web beacons (details can be found at https://kb.mailchimp.com/reports/about-open-tracking) integrated in the HTML emails. All this information is stored on MailChimp's servers, not on this website.
MailChimp is an active participant in the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data. For more information, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TO6hAAG. You can learn more about MailChimp's use of cookies at https://mailchimp.com/legal/cookies/, and you can read information about MailChimp's privacy policy (Privacy) at https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/.
MAILCHIMP DATA PROCESSING AGREEMENT
We have concluded an order data processing contract (Data Processing Addendum) with MailChimp. This contract serves to safeguard your personal data and ensures that MailChimp adheres to the applicable data protection regulations and does not pass on your personal data to third parties.
You can find more information about this contract at http://mailchimp.com/legal/forms/data-processing-agreement/.
9.4 IP GEOLOCATION
We use a program on our website to locate your location via IP address. This program is used to display the website in the language relevant to you. Your location is determined by a service provider to whom only your current IP address is transmitted. As a result, the service provider returns the following data:
City, continent, country, country code, host name at the time of query, IP type, Internet service provider, longitude, latitude, organization, the transmitted IP address, region (state).
With this data we are able to show you the website in the language relevant to you. The data will not be stored by us. Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the temporary processing of this data, as our legitimate interest is to be able to provide you with a user-friendly website in the relevant language.
The service provider is: eXTReMe-IP-LOOKUP.COM, Geelvinckssteeg 32, 1017 BE Amsterdam, Netherlands. For more information about the provider's privacy policy, please click here https://extreme-ip-lookup.com/terms-privacy.
9.5 YOUTUBE
Our website uses plugins of the video platform YouTube to embed videos and play them directly on our website. The operator of the video platform is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA ("YouTube"). YouTube is an affiliated company of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google").
The integration of YouTube videos takes place in the so-called "extended data protection mode", which, according to the provider, only initiates the storage of user information when the video(s) is/are played. However, the transfer of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the extended data protection mode. Thus, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network - regardless of whether you watch a video.
When you activate embedded videos on our website, a connection to YouTube's servers is established and a data transmission is started. We have no influence on the scope and content of the data that is transmitted to YouTube and possibly other partners of YouTube by activating the plugin. Among other things, the YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. According to YouTube, this information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent abusive behavior. YouTube uses cookies to collect information about user behavior. The cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them. You can prevent YouTube from storing cookies by making the appropriate settings in your browser software (see above).
If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account before activating the play button.
YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.
For more information on the handling of user data, please refer to YouTube's privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en.
9.6 SPOTIFY
On our pages, functions of the music service Spotify are integrated. The provider is Spotify AB, Birger Jarlsgatan 61, 113 56 Stockholm in Sweden. You can recognize the Spotify plugins by the green logo on our site. An overview of the Spotify plugins can be found at: https://developer.spotify.com. This allows a direct connection between your browser and the Spotify server to be established via the plugin when you visit our pages. Spotify thereby receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you click the Spotify button while logged into your Spotify account, you can link the content of our pages on your Spotify profile. This allows Spotify to associate the visit to our pages with your user account. If you do not want Spotify to be able to associate the visit to our pages with your Spotify user account, please log out of your Spotify user account.
The processing is done to enable you to learn more about us via HYPERGANIC related podcasts.
The processing is necessary to protect the overriding legitimate interests of the controller (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Our legitimate interest lies in the purpose named in the previous paragraph.
Spotify transmits, processes and stores data about our users on servers located in several countries. For more information, please see Spotify's privacy policy: https://www.spotify.com/de/legal/privacy-policy.
9.7 SOCIAL NETWORKS
9.8 LINKS TO OFFERINGS OF THIRD PARTIES
Websites as well as services of other providers linked to from this website were and are designed and provided by third parties. We have no influence on the design, content and function of these third-party services. We expressly distance ourselves from all content of all linked third-party services. Please note that the third-party services linked from this website may install their own cookies on your terminal device or collect personal data. We have no influence on this. Please inform yourself directly with the providers of these linked third-party offers.
Upon request, we will inform you whether and which data we have stored about you. Insofar as the legal requirements are met, you have the right to have this data corrected, blocked or deleted. You also have the right to receive Personal Data which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another Controller under conditions and in accordance with the Regulation.
Insofar as we process your data on the basis of the balancing of interests, you have a right of objection if the legal requirements are met.
Where we are relying on consent to process your Personal Data you may withdraw your consent at any time for the future. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.
You may exercise your rights by contacting us in writing, with a proof of your identity, at privacy@hyperganic.com.
If you are resident of the EU, you also have the right to direct questions or complaints to the lead supervisory authority.
This Privacy Policy informs you about the processing of your personal data when you apply for a position at Hyperganic Group GmbH or its affiliated companies either by letter, E-Mail, or using an online application tool (referred to below as the “Application Process”). It also describes your data protection rights, including the right to object to some processing operations.
This Privacy Policy supplements our existing General Privacy Policy, which gives you specific information on how we process personal data obtained from you visiting our website and related to non-application-specific topics.
Hyperganic Group GmbH and the affiliate to which you are applying for a position are responsible for the application process under data protection law. All the Hyperganic companies are collectively referred to below as “HYPERGANIC”.
Hyperganic Group GmbH has its registered office at Georgenstr. 38, 80799 Munich Germany, and is registered with the commercial register of the local court (Amtsgericht) of Munich under HRB 262280.
Legal representative of Hyperganic Group GmbH is Lin Kayser as managing director.
Your contact person for data privacy can be reached under +49 89 388 79265 or under privacy@hyperganic.com.
Personal data means any information concerning the personal or material circumstances of an identified or identifiable individual. This includes information such as, for example, your name, address, telephone number and date of birth, but also data relating to your specific career etc. by reference to which a specific individual can be identified with reasonable effort. However, information which cannot be (in)directly associated with your real-life identity is not personal data.
Within the application process, we collect and store the following categories of personal data about you:
Your personal data may be used for the following purposes:
Personal data within the application process will be used for the assessment of your application and, if an employment relationship is established, also for the execution of the employment relationship. For specific positions this may include your participation in an online personality test. Providing your personal data as part of the application process is voluntary. However, the provision of personal data is necessary for the processing of your application or the conclusion of an employment contract with us. The legal basis for the personality test is your consent pursuant to Section 26 (2) BDSG. Participation in the personality test is voluntary.
When we obtain information from your public profile on professional social networks, such as LinkedIn, we base this processing on our legitimate interest to build a decision base in order to establish an employment relationship with you. The legal basis is Article 6 f) GDPR in conjunction with Article 9 (2) e) GDPR.
When we invite you to participate in a survey on your satisfaction with the application process at HYPERGANIC the relevant legal basis is your consent pursuant to Section 26 BDSG in conjunction with Article 7 GDPR. The same legal basis applies when you consent to the inclusion of your data in the applicant pool.
Furthermore, we may process personal data about you where this is necessary to defend ourselves against legal claims arising from the application process that are brought against us. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) b and f) GDPR; the legitimate interest is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
HYPERGANIC will only disclose your application data to those employees who are directly involved in the application process, including the decision on filling the position.
Data transmitted as part of your application will be transferred using TLS encryption and stored in a database. This database is operated by Personio GmbH, which offers a human resource and applicant management software solution (https://www.personio.com/legal-notice/). In this context, Personio GmbH is our processor under Article 28 GDPR. In this case, the processing is based on an agreement for the processing of orders between HYPERGANIC as the controller and Personio GmbH.
Furthermore, personal data may be processed on our behalf on the basis of contracts pursuant to Article 28 GDPR, especially by providers of systems for applicant management (such as SmartRecruiters Inc., please refer to https://www.smartrecruiters.com/legal/general-privacy-policy/), and selection procedures (such as GreatWithTalent Ltd., please refer to https://www.greatwithtalent.com/LEGAL/PrivacyNotice/). We do not share data with third parties that have no reference to our application management and application procedures or other use cases we describe in section 4 “Use of personal data”.
Such transfers may involve the transfer of personal data to recipients outside the European Union / European Economic Area. Standard contractual clauses have been concluded with these external service providers, unless they are based in countries with an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.
In the event of a legal obligation, we reserve the right to disclose information about you if we are required to surrender it to competent authorities or law enforcement bodies. The legal basis is Article 6 (1) c) GDPR.
7.1 RIGHT OF ACCESS
You can request information about your personal data (commonly known as data subject access request). You can exercise this right by contacting us under the contact details mentioned in section 2.
7.2 RIGHT TO RECTIFICATION AND ERASURE
If you wish to update the personal data provided to us, you can send us an email to privacy@hyperganic.com or, if you applied via an online application tool, you modify the data yourself in the relevant application within your candidate profile. Under certain conditions, you can ask us to erase your personal data.
7.3 RIGHT TO RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING
Under certain conditions you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data, e.g. when you want us to verify the accuracy of your personal data, by sending us an email to privacy@hyperganic.com.
7.4 RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY
Under certain conditions you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you which you provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. A respective request should be addressed to privacy@hyperganic.com.
7.5 RIGHT TO OBJECT
If we process your data to protect legitimate interests, you may object to such processing for reasons arising from your particular situation. For more information see section 9 “Objection or Withdrawal of your consent to the Processing of Personal Data”.
Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority concerning the processing of your personal data
You may exercise your rights by e-mailing your request to privacy@hyperganic.com.
We retain your data for a period of six months after completion of the application process. This is necessary for the burden of proof in the event of a legal claim based on the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). We further retain your personal data in that period in case there is a relevant job offering for which you will be a fitting candidate. In addition, you can request the deletion of your candidate profile or the withdrawal of your application by contacting us at privacy@hyperganic.com.
If you consent to the inclusion of your data in the applicant pool, your personal data disclosed in the course of the application process shall be stored by HYPERGANIC beyond the end of the application procedure at issue in a separate database, so-called applicant pool. In this case all HYPERGANIC companies can use this data in order to contact you subsequently and to proceed with application procedure if you might be considered for another position on one of the companies. You can withdraw your consent and stop receiving information on current job offerings by sending us an email to privacy@hyperganic.com at any time.
In case your application is successful we may store your personal data within the subsequent employment in compliance with the applicable legal regulations.
If you have given your consent (Article 6 (1) a GDPR) to the processing of your data (e.g. when we invite you to participate in a survey on your satisfaction with the application process at HYPERGANIC), you can withdraw your consent at any time by sending us an email to privacy@hyperganic.com. Such a withdrawal influences the permissibility of processing your personal data after you have given it to us.
If we base the processing of your personal data on the weighing of interests (Article 6 (1) f GDPR), you may object to the processing. This is the case if processing is not necessary in particular to fulfil a contract with you, which is described by us in section 4 “Use of personal data”. When exercising such objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and either stop or adjust data processing or point out to you our compelling reasons worthy of protection, on the basis of which we will continue processing.
We reserve the right to adjust this privacy policy at any point in time to ensure that it is in line with the current legal requirements at all times, or in order to accommodate changes in the application process or other processes. In this case, the new privacy policy applies to any later visit of this recruitment website or any later job application.
