Privacy Policy
NOE takes the protection of your data very seriously. We observe the statutory data protection requirements and take precautions to ensure the confidentiality and security of your data.
We point out that data transmissions over the Internet (e.g. by e-mail) may have security gaps and that complete protection from access by third parties is not possible.
In this policy we inform you about the collection and processing of personal data by our company. This Privacy Policy, as well as the Legal Notice and Disclaimer, must be seen as part of the Internet service from which you were referred to this page.
This Privacy Policy applies to Internet pages outside of our website only insofar as we have influence on their processing and are therefore responsible for such processing.
If parts or some of the wording of the following text do not or no longer or do not fully comply with the applicable law, the content and validity of the remaining parts of the document remain unaffected by this.

2 Processing of personal data by our company
Our web pages can generally be used without providing personal information. In some cases, however, we require personal information in order to provide the requested service (e.g. sending informational material, a newsletter...) or to process an order. In addition, we store and process only such data that you provide to us voluntarily.
Where you send us information via a contact form, the information entered there will be used to provide the service that you requested, to execute an order that you placed and/or to contact you.
Storage period
Personal data of the Data Subject is deleted as soon as the purpose of such storage is no longer valid unless statutory retention and warranty periods that apply to the Data Controller prevent such deletion, or unless continued storage is necessary for entering into (further) contracts or performing contracts with the Data Subject.
To the extent that the content of contact forms or e-mail messages is business-relevant, such content must be treated as business correspondence, i.e., it is subject to statutory retention periods. We store incoming/outgoing e-mails and messages communicated via a contact form in an electronic archive.
Private communications using business e-mail addresses are not desired.
Please note that we do not distinguish between private and business communications. This means that private mails that you send to a business e-mail address will be treated as business-relevant communications. If you still send private messages to a business e-mail address, you will be aware of this situation and accept that you will not have any claims against our company for measures regarding the data backup, recovery or deletion of such messages from data backups or archives.

To send the confirmation e-mails for managing the data in our subscriber lists, we use the list provider MailChimp, a service from The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 512 Means St., Suite 404 Atlanta, GA 30318.
All you need to register for this list is your e-mail address. Registration involves the double opt-in method, that is, after you register you will receive an e-mail in which you can confirm your registration again in express terms. Only then will the newsletter service be activated for you. When you sign up for our newsletter, the data you provide when signing up for the newsletter will be transmitted to MailChimp and stored there. MailChimp offers extensive analysis options to determine how the newsletters are opened and used. These analyses are group-based and are not used by us for individual evaluation.
In addition, MailChimp uses the analysis tool Google Analytics and, if necessary, integrates it with the newsletter.
The service provider stores the e-mail addresses of the subscribers on a server in the USA. MailChimp is certified under the US-EU Privacy Shield (Link: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TO6hAAG) and has thus committed to complying with EU privacy standards.
More information about MailChimp and privacy at MailChimp can be found here (https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/)
By submitting the e-mail address you consent to this processing by MailChimp.
Purpose of processing
The user’s e-mail address is collected for the purposes of newsletter delivery including subscriber management. We log the registration process in order to meet legal record-keeping requirements.

Following the user’s registration for the newsletter, the data are processed on the basis of the user’s consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) and Article 7 GDPR as well as in accordance with Section 7(2)(3) or Section 7(3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG).
The registration process is logged in accordance with Article 6(1)(c) GDPR in order to comply with our accountability and record-keeping obligations.
The use of the service provider MailChimp is based on our legitimate interest, pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, in utilising a user-friendly and secure newsletter management system.
Storage period
Your data will be stored as long as your newsletter subscription is active.
Right to object
The user in question may cancel the newsletter subscription at any time. Each newsletter contains a link for this purpose. To cancel the subscription, you will need the e-mail address that you specified when you signed up. When you cancel the subscription, the data you provided will be deleted.
3.6 Job application documents
Thank you for your interest in our company.
You can send us your application documents by post. But you can also submit your application documents online.
Please use only the e-mail account specified for the submission of your application documents, as this is the only way to ensure that your application will be kept confidential and considered in the selection process.
When transmitting documents via the Internet there is a risk of unauthorised access.
When sending to an e-mail address, it is possible to transmit content in encrypted form. If you would like to transmit encrypted content, please contact our Human Resources department in advance.

Within our company, only the Human Resources department, the Works Council and employees involved in the selection process will have access to the application documents that you submit.
In some cases, we may wish to make alternative job offers to applicants. For this purpose, we store the application documents in a pool of applicants and/or forward them to other Group companies.

Legal basis
Your data are processed in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent has been obtained). You consent to the data processing by submitting your application documents.
Under Section 99(1) of the German Works Constitution Act (BetrVG), we are obligated to submit the application documents to the Works Council prior to any recruitment.
The storage of your data in the applicants’ history, the transfer of your data to a personnel service provider as well as the storage of applicant data in a pool of applicants are in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest). Our legitimate interest is the efficient organisation of applicant selection procedures and the avoidance of multiple applications.
Storage period
If we cannot offer you a suitable position, we will delete your application documents after six (6) months at the latest.
If you do not object to the storage of your application documents in the applicants’ pool, they will be deleted from the pool after a maximum of two (2) years.
In the applicants’ history, we store your data for a period of two (2) years.
The web host stores the communication content until successful completion of the transmission.

3.8 Integration of third-party providers
Content or services of third party providers (e.g. YouTube, Google Maps…) may be integrated within our website. The integration of such content requires that the third-party providers detect the IP address of the user, since they would not be able to send the content to the user’s browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for this content to be displayed. Furthermore, providers of third-party content can set their own cookies and process users’ data for their own purposes. In doing so, they can create usage profiles for site visitors from the processed data.

By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing and use of automatically collected data and data entered by you by the following (third-party) providers.
4.1 List of and notes about the analysis and tracking tools used
4.1.1 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 uses “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
However, if IP anonymisation is enabled on this site, Google will truncate your IP address beforehand within Member States of the European Union or other signatory states to the Agreement of the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent 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 other services related to website activity and Internet usage.
The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent the storage of cookies by changing the settings of your browser software accordingly; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to make full use of all the features of this website. In addition, you may prevent the collection by Google of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as the processing of these data by Google by using the link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de) to download and install a specific browser plugin.
You can prevent the collection of data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set which prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website: <a href=„javascript:gaOptout()“>Deactivate Google Analytics</a>
In mobile device browsers, the add-on for suppressing Google Analytics User Tracking may not work. In this case, you can use the opt-out cookie only to prevent the collection of your data when you visit the website. Please note: If you delete your cookies, the opt-out cookie will be deleted as well. The opt-out will then have to be enabled again when you visit our site again.
For more information about Terms of Service and Privacy, please visit https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/ .
We point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code “anonymizeIp” to ensure anonymised collection of IP addresses (IP masking).
An agreement for contract data processing has been entered into with Google in accordance with the specifications of the German data protection authorities.
Demographics in Google Analytics
The website uses the Demographics feature of Google Analytics. This allows for reports to be generated that contain information on the age, gender and interests of site visitors. These data are derived from interest-based Google advertising and visitor data from third parties. Such data cannot be attributed to any specific person. You can disable this feature at any time through the Ads Settings in your Google account, or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as outlined in the section “Objection to data collection”.
Anonymisation
We use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymisation. This means that Google will truncate users’ IP addresses beforehand within Member States of the European Union or other signatory states to the Agreement of the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
4.1.2 Google Remarketing
This website uses the Google Remarketing service. Google Remarketing is an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This feature is designed to show interest-based ads to visitors to the site through the Google advertising network. The website visitor’s browser stores “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that allow visitors to be recognised again when they visit websites that belong to the Google advertising network. On these pages, ads can then be displayed to visitors that relate to content that the visitor previously displayed on websites that use Google’s Remarketing feature. Google says it does not collect any personal information during this process.
However, if you still do not wish to use Google Remarketing, you can disable it by configuring the appropriate settings at https://www.google.com/settings/ads . Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies for interest-based advertising through the Network Advertising Initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp .

Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website in terms of advertising, to compile reports on website activity and advertisements for website operators, and to provide other services related to website activity and Internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or insofar as third parties process these data on behalf of Google. According to Google, it will never associate your IP address with other Google data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies on your hard disk and the display of web beacons by selecting “Do not accept cookies” in your browser settings; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to make full use of all features of this website.

The personal data collected automatically on our websites, provided by you voluntarily or requested from you as part of a service will not be shared with third parties without your consent.
The data will not be transferred to a third country or an international organisation.
Consent to contractually required disclosure
Insofar as the service requested or the order placed is clearly associated with a material delivery and/or the service is clearly provided by a third party, your consent to the transfer of personal data required for this to the service provider in charge of the execution will be deemed to have been given without any further query.
If a contractually agreed service is provided in a third country, the service may also be performed by one of our cooperation partners. In the event, we will name the cooperation partner and, if you have consented to the transmission, submit the contract-relevant data to this partner.
If you do not agree to a transmission, this may mean that the service you requested cannot be provided.
6 Copyright and trademark rights
6.1 Copyright
Anyone who infringes copyright law (such as by copying images or texts without permission) commits an offence under Sections 106 et seq. of the German Copyright Act (UrhG) will receive a cease-and-desist letter with costs and must pay compensation (§ 97 UrhG).
All contents of our website and Internet pages, particularly texts, photographs, graphics and images (in short: media), are protected under copyright law. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, the copyright owner is the Data Controller of this website.
Please note, however, that we may not be entitled to the exclusive, unrestricted copyright for all media used on our website, and that third parties may hold rights to these images, even if this is not indicated explicitly.
For information about the copyright owner of the media used, as well as if you intend to download, republish, retransmit, reproduce or otherwise use any media as a separate file, please contact: info@noe.de.
Note that we do not assume any liability if our logo or our contact data are used for fraudulent purposes by third parties, who will be subject to prosecution. Please let us know if you receive any questionable documents with our logo or under our name.
6.2 Links
Insofar as we use links to third-party content, these were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. No unlawful content was detected at the time of linking. However, continuous examination of the contents of the linked pages is not reasonable without specific evidence of an infringement. If we learn of violations or infringements, we will remove such links immediately.
Where our online services contain links to contents and offers of other providers, ensuring such other providers’ compliance with data protection regulations is beyond our control. Please inform yourself if necessary about the privacy policy of a provider before you follow such a link or disclose information on the linked pages.
7 Your rights
As the Data Subject, you have the following rights vis-à-vis the Data Controller under the GDPR:
7.1 Right of access by the Data Subject
You may ask the Data Controller to confirm whether personal data concerning you is processed by us.
If such data are processed, you can request from the Data Controller the following information:
(1) the purposes for which the personal data are processed;
(2) the categories of personal data that is processed;
(3) the recipients and/or categories of recipients to whom the personal data in question has been disclosed or is yet to be disclosed;
(4) the planned duration of storage of personal data concerning you or, if specific information is not available, criteria for defining the storage period;
(5) the existence of a right to correct or delete the personal data concerning you, a right to restrict the processing by the Data Controller or a right to object to such processing;
(6) the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a Supervisory Authority;
(7) all available information on the source of the data if the personal data are not collected from the Data Subject;
(8) the existence of an automated decision-making process, including profiling under Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and – at least in such cases – meaningful information on the logic involved as well as the scope and intended effects of such processing on the Data Subject.
You have the right to request information about whether your personal data are transferred to a third country or an international organisation. In such context, you may demand information on appropriate guarantees in accordance with Article 46 GDPR in connection with the transmission.
7.2 Right to rectification
You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the Data Controller if the personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The Data Controller must implement such corrections without undue delay.
7.3 Right to restriction of processing
You may request restricted processing of your personal data under the following conditions:
(1) if you contest the accuracy of your personal data for a period of time that enables the Data Controller to verify the accuracy of your personal data;
(2) if the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and instead request restriction of such data’s use;
(3) if the Data Controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you require the data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
(4) if you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the Data Controller override your grounds.
Where processing of your personal data have been restricted, such personal data may, with the exception of storage, 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 Union or of a Member State.
If you have obtained restriction of processing pursuant to the above conditions, you will be informed by the Data Controller before the restriction of processing is lifted.
7.4 Right to erasure
You may obtain from the data controller the erasure of your personal data without undue delay and the Data Controller is obligated to erase such personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
(1) Your personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
(2) You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based according to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
(3) You object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
(4) Your personal data have been unlawfully processed.
(5) Your personal data have to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the Data Controller is subject.
(6) Your personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) GDPR.
According to Article 17(3) GDPR, the right to erasure does not exist, inter alia, if the processing is necessary, if the Data Controller is subject to a legal obligation to process or if the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
7.5 Notification obligation
Where you have exercised your right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing vis-à-vis the Data Controller, the Data Controller must communicate any rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing to each recipient to whom your personal data have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
The Data Controller must inform you about those recipients at your request.
7.6 Right to data portability
You have the right to receive your personal data that you have provided to the Data Controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit such data to another Data Controller without hindrance from the Data Controller to which the personal data have been provided, where:
(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and
(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising this right, you have the right to have your personal data transmitted directly from one Data Controller to another, where technically feasible. The rights and freedoms of other persons must not be adversely affected by this.
7.7 Right to object
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of your personal data that is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.
The Data Controller will no longer process your personal data unless the Data Controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Where your personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you will have the right to object at any time to processing of your personal data for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
Where you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for such purposes.
In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
7.8 Right to withdraw privacy consent
You may withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
7.9 Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects for you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the Data Controller;
(2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the Data Controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
(3) is based on your explicit consent.
However, decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9(1) GDPR unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.
In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the Data Controller must implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, which includes at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the Data Controller to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
7.10 Right to lodge a complaint with a Supervisory Authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a Supervisory Authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR.
The Supervisory Authority with which the complaint has been lodged must inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.
The contact details of the Supervisory Authority responsible for our company are as follows:
