Data protection is a particularly high priority for Digisourced. The use of our Service is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special services via our website or Services, processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary, and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject. Digisourced provides recruitment related services and we will, therefore, use your personal data in order for us to be able to deliver these services to you whether you are a; candidate, client or website user. Digisourced is deeply committed to ensuring the privacy and protection of your personal information.

Utilizing this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed through this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, Digisourced has applied numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the complete protection of personal data processed. However, Internet-based data transmissions may, in principle, have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g., by telephone.
The data protection declaration of Digisourced is based on the terms used by the European laws for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be comprehensible and understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners.

Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

However, public authorities which may receive personal data during a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities must adhere to the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.
J) Third-party
Third-party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

• Google Analytics (with anonymization function)–Digisourced has integrated the component of Google Analytics in the Services (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. A web analysis service gathers, among other things, information about the website from which a person originated. (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of the Services, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through JavaScript that any data and information about the visits of the website (Services) may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser extension was removed or disabled by the user or any person under their authority, it can be reinstalled or reactivated.

17 LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example, in the case of inquiries concerning our services. If we are subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European laws. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
18 THE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS PURSUED BY THE CONTROLLER OR BY A THIRD PARTY
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favour of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders. Digisourced may also under Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR for the provision of marketing information to you use information available to us via software and other service providers to contact you. We may contact which may include without limits candidates, clients, suppliers, and other users. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Privacy Policy, where a third-party has obtained your consent to share your personal information with us for marketing purposes, our legal basis for processing your business contact information is your consent if 6(1) lit. f GDPR is not applicable.
19 PERIOD FOR WHICH THE PERSONAL DATA WILL BE STORED
The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfilment of the contract or the initiation of a contract. If the data subject requests for termination or terminates his Digisourced Account, the personal data shall be retained for a period of 1 year from the date of termination.
20 PROVISION OF PERSONAL DATA AS STATUTORY OR CONTRACTUAL REQUIREMENT; REQUIREMENT NECESSARY TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT; OBLIGATION OF THE DATA SUBJECT TO PROVIDE THE PERSONAL DATA; POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE TO PROVIDE SUCH DATA
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information on the contractual partner). It may be required in certain circumstances to enter into an agreement where the data subject provides us with their personal data, which will then be processed by us.. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when Digisourced signs a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would result in the inability to establish a contract with the data subject.. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact our Data Protection Officer (Contact details provided below). Our Data Protection Officer clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law, contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
