When you access a page, your browser loads the necessary web fonts into your browser cache to correctly display text and fonts. In the course of providing the Adobe Fonts service, no cookies are placed or used to deliver the fonts. To provide the Adobe Fonts service, Adobe may collect information about the font type used, which serves to identify the website itself and the associated Adobe account.

USER RIGHTS: ACCESS, RECTIFICATION AND ERASURE

As a user, upon request, you have the right to obtain free information about which personal data has been stored about you. Provided your request does not conflict with a legal obligation to retain data (e.g., data retention), you have a right to the rectification of incorrect data and to the restriction of processing or erasure of your personal data.

DATA PROTECTION FOR JOB APPLICATIONS AND DURING THE APPLICATION PROCESS

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case when an applicant submits corresponding application documents electronically, for example, via email or a web form located on the website. If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the submitted data will be stored for the purpose of managing the employment relationship in compliance with legal regulations. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant by us, the application documents will be deleted within the legally valid period.

DATA MINIMIZATION

In accordance with the principles of data avoidance and data minimization, we store personal data only for as long as necessary or as required by law (statutory retention period). If the purpose for which the information was collected ceases to apply or the storage period expires, we will block or delete the data.

GCI Health Unternehmensberatung für Kommunikation GmbH will review and revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. It is therefore advisable to read the provisions of this Privacy Policy periodically to ensure that you are aware of how GCI Health Communication Consulting GmbH collects, processes, and uses data.
