1.    Introduction

APG|SGA AG (hereafter referred to as ‘APG|SGA’ or ‘we’) relies on open and transparent interaction, even where data protection is concerned. We abide by data protection legislation and make every effort to handle personal data with care. This data privacy statement serves to provide you with information about how we handle personal data.

For the data protection notice for apps with integrated APG|SGA functions, please refer to this separate  data privacy notice. 

2.    Personal data

‘Personal data’ includes all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person. In this data privacy statement, when we use the term ‘processing’, we mean any handling of personal data. This includes, for example:

  • collecting,
  • storing, 
  • managing, 
  • using,
  • transmitting,
  • publishing or
  • deleting personal data

We only ask for personal information where it it necessary in order to provide our own services and handle transactions enacted with APG|SGA, and where it allows us to offer our customers and partners better service. 
 

3.    When do we collect personal data?

We collect your personal data whenever we have contact with you, which can be both online as well as routine personal contact. For example, we collect personal information in the following circumstances:
-    You are a business partner (partner, customer, supplier);
-    You apply for a place as an intern, apprentice or employee;
-    You visit our online services (see item 5ff.);
-    You receive a newsletter or participate in a contest;
-    You participate in market research or a survey;;
-    You communicate with us on special occasions, such as farm festival, poster night, general meeting, etc.


4.    What personal data is collected?

The personal data collected varies as much as the circumstances under which we collect data, for example:

  • Name and first name

  • Gender

  • Date of birth and age

  • Address

  • Phone number

  • E-mail address

  • Marketing data such as requirements, wishes, preferences

APG|SGA avoids the processing of personal data that is of an especially sensitive nature, and therefore especially worthy of protection, as much as possible - e.g. concerning your political opinion, your religious and philosophical beliefs, your union affiliation, your health, your sex life, or your race. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that personal information you provide on a voluntary basis (such as submitting a CV to apply for a position) may be saved.
