The following Privacy Policy applies when using our online offering at https://7p-group.com/ (hereinafter referred to as the „Website“). We consider data protection to be extremely important. Your personal data is collected and processed in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations, in particular, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The data controller, who is responsible for the collection, processing and use of your personal data within the meaning of Art. 4 para. 7 GDPR, is
SEVEN PRINCIPLES AG

If you wish to object to the collection, processing or use of your data by us in accordance with these data protection regulations either as a whole or for individual measures, you can address your objection to the data controller.
You can save and print out this Privacy Policy at any time.
We use personal data for the purposes of operating the Website, processing your enquiries in a business context, and improving our online offering.
The hosting services we avail of are used to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services and technical maintenance services that we use for the purpose of operating the Website.
In doing so, we or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, metadata and communication data of customers, potential customers and visitors to this Website on the basis of our legitimate interests in the efficient and secure provision of this Website according to Art. 6 para. 1 clause 1 f) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR.
We collect information about you when you use this Website. We automatically collect information about your usage behaviour and your interaction with us and record data about your computer or mobile device. We collect, store and use data about every instance of access to our Website (so-called server log files). The access data includes:
We use this log data without allocation to your person or other profiling for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operating, security and optimisation of our website, but also for anonymous recording of the number of visitors to our website (traffic) and the extent and type of use of our website and services, as well as for billing purposes in order to measure the number of clicks received from cooperation partners. This information enables us to provide personalised and location-based content, to analyse traffic, to detect and correct errors, and to improve our services.
We also have a legitimate interest in this pursuant to Art 6. para. 1 clause 1 f) GDPR.
We reserve the right to subsequently check the log data if, based on concrete indications or evidence, there is a justified suspicion of unlawful use. We also store IP addresses if we have reason to suspect that a criminal offence has been committed in connection with the use of our Website.
We use so-called session cookies to optimise our Website. A session cookie is a small text file that is sent by the server in question when you visit a website, and which is temporarily stored on your hard drive. This session cookie file stores a session ID, which makes it possible to track the various requests made by your browser during the joint session. This allows your computer to be recognised when you return to our Website. These cookies are deleted after you close your browser. They serve, e.g., to prevent the cookie banner from being displayed repeatedly.
To a small extent, we also use persistent cookies (another type of small text file that is stored on your device), which remain on your device and enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit our Website. These cookies are stored on your hard disk and are deleted automatically after a specified time. Their life span is between 1 month and 10 years. These cookies enable us to present our offering in a more user-friendly, effective and secure manner and, for example, to display information on the site that is specifically tailored to your interests.
Our legitimate interest to use cookies, in accordance with Art 6 para. 1 clause 1 f) GDPR, is to make our Website more user-friendly, effective and secure.
The following data and information is stored in the cookies:
When a cookie is activated, it is assigned an identification number, but your personal data will not be mapped to this identification number. Your name, IP address or similar data that would allow the cookie to be traced to you does not get placed in the cookie. Based on the cookie technology, we only receive pseudonymised information.
You can set your browser so that you are informed in advance about cookies being set and can decide in individual cases whether you want to exclude cookies from being accepted in specific cases or in general, or can prevent cookies entirely. However, this may restrict the functionality of the Website.
The cookie banner we use to inform you about the use of cookies also itself stores a cookie. This only receives information as to whether you have already received the cookie banner. It does not contain any personal data.
We process personal data that we need in order to fulfil our contractual obligations, such as name, address, email address, ordered products, and billing and payment data. This data needs to be collected in order to conclude the contract.
The data will be deleted after expiry of the warranty periods and statutory retention periods. Data that is associated with a user account (see below) will always be retained for the duration the account is maintained for.
The legal basis for the processing of this data is Art. 6 para. 1 clause 1 b) GDPR, because this data is required in order for use to be able to fulfil our contractual obligations to you.
If you contact us (e.g., via our contact form or email), we will process your details in order to handle your enquiry and in the event that any follow-up questions arise.
If the data processing takes place in order to execute pre-contractual measures that are taking place at your request or, if you are already a customer of ours, in order to execute the contract between us, then the legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 clause 1 b) GDPR.
We will only process further personal data if you give your consent to this (Art. 6 para. 1 clause 1 a) GDFPR) or we have a legitimate interest in the processing of your data (Art. 6 para. 1 clause 1 f) GDPR). There is a legitimate interest, for example, in replying to your email.
Various media are used by SEVEN PRINCIPLES AG as part of employee recruiting.
In addition to postal applications, these can also be sent by e-mail, via the SEVEN PRINCIPLES AG website (online application), application portals and commissioned recruiting companies.
We process the data that you have sent us in connection with your application in order to check your suitability for the position (or other open positions in our company, if applicable) and to carry out the application process.
On what legal basis is that?
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in this application process is primarily Section 26 BDSG in the version applicable from May 25, 2018. Thereafter, the processing of the data is permitted that is necessary in connection with the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship.
Should the data be required for legal prosecution after the application process has been completed, data processing can be carried out on the basis of the requirements of Art. 6 GDPR, in particular to safeguard legitimate interests according to Art. 6 Para. 1 clause 1f) GDPR. Our interest then lies in the assertion or defense of claims.
How long will the data be stored?
Applicants‘ data will be deleted after 6 months in the event of rejection.
If you have consented to your personal data being stored further, we will transfer your data to our applicant pool. There the data will be deleted after two years. (optional)
If you have been accepted for a position as part of the application process, the data will be transferred from the applicant data system to our personnel information system.
To which recipients is the data passed on?
After Stepstone has collected your data and transmitted it to us, all applications (regardless of their input channel) are immediately transferred to the applicant management system and processed there. This is followed by a pre-selection and forwarding to the requesting specialist departments. Data can be passed on to authorities for review on the basis of official requirements (e.g. recruitment of applicants from outside the EU). In addition, the data will not be passed on to third parties.

Data protection information for webinars via „Microsoft Teams
We would like to inform you below about the processing of personal data in connection with the use of Microsoft Teams.
Purpose of the processing
We use the Microsoft Teams tool to conduct webinars. Microsoft Teams is a service of Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA.
Note: To the extent that you access the Microsoft Teams website, Microsoft Corporation is responsible for data processing.
What data is processed?
When you use Microsoft Teams, various types of data are processed. The scope of the data also depends on the data you provide before or when participating in a webinar. The following personal data is subject to processing:
User details: e.g. display name („Display name“), e-mail address.
Protocol files/meeting metadata: e.g. description (optional), IP address of the PC ́s or mobile device, date and time of access. Device/hardware and software information, language settings, relevant system configuration details (e.g. graphics card, sound card, driver version).
Text, audio and video data: You may have the opportunity to use the chat function in a webinar. In this respect, the text entries you make are processed in order to display them in the webinar and, if necessary, to record them. In order to enable the display of video and the playback of audio, the data from the microphone of your terminal device and from any video camera of the terminal device will be processed accordingly for the duration of the webinar. You can switch off or mute the camera or microphone yourself at any time via the Microsoft Teams applications.
To participate in a webinar, you must at least provide details of your display name.
Scope of processing
We use Microsoft Teams to deliver webinars. The webinars are not recorded.
The chat content is only available for the duration of the webinar.
Legal basis of data processing
We use Teams on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 clause 1 f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to be able to conduct webinars effectively.
If you have given your consent to use the service in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 clause 1 a) GDPR, this will serve exclusively as the legal basis. Consent given can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
Recipients / passing on of data
Personal data processed in connection with participation in webinars will not be passed on to third parties as a matter of principle, unless they are specifically intended to be passed on. Please note that content from webinars, as well as from face-to-face meetings, is often used to communicate information with employees, customers, interested parties or third parties and is therefore intended for disclosure.
Other recipients: The Microsoft Teams provider necessarily receives knowledge of the above-mentioned data insofar as this is provided for in the context of our order processing agreement with Microsoft Teams.
Data processing outside the European Union
In principle, there is no data processing outside the European Union (EU), as the data centres are located in the EU.
Nevertheless, there are theoretical access possibilities through Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA.
In this context, we would like to point out that due to the US CLOUD Act of 2018, there is a theoretical possibility for US authorities to access data of US IT companies and cloud providers that are stored outside the USA.
However, the data is encrypted during transport over the internet and thus secured against unauthorised access by third parties.
