When using the website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information (e.g. via a contact form), we collect the following technical information (log file data):
Operating system, screen resolution of the device you are using to visit our website
Browser (type, version & language settings)
the amount of data retrieved
the current IP address of the device you are using to visit our website
Date and time of access
the URL of the previously visited website (referrer)
the URL of the (sub)page that you access on the website
the internet service provider of the accessing system
The collection of this data is technically necessary in order to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security. We (and our service provider) regularly do not know who is behind an IP address. We do not merge the data listed above with other data.
The legal basis for the storage of data/log files is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f) DSGVO.
Storage in log files ensures the proper functioning of the website and also serves to improve and secure our systems. This data is not analysed beyond this (e.g. for marketing purposes). The stored data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case after six weeks at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible; in this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or anonymised so that it is no longer possible to identify the accessing client.
Your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
Cookies are data that are stored on your computer by a website that you visit and enable your browser to be reassigned. Cookies are used to transmit information to the organisation that sets the cookie. Cookies can store various information, such as your language setting, the duration of your visit to our website or the entries you make there. This prevents you from having to re-enter required form data each time you use the website, for example. The information stored in cookies can also be used to recognise preferences and target content according to areas of interest.
First-party cookies are set by the website (domain) that you are currently visiting. Only this website is authorised to read information from these cookies. Third-party cookies are set by organisations that do not operate the website you are visiting. These cookies are used by marketing companies, for example.
We use cookies to ensure the proper operation of the website, to provide basic functionalities, to measure reach and - with your consent - to customise our services and content to your use of the website.
Information on which of the services used on this website use cookies can be found on our cookie notice at the bottom right of the screen, as well as in this privacy policy in the descriptions of the services and analysis tools used.
You can subscribe to various newsletters on some of our websites with which we inform you about the activities of our company, current information about our services, special offers, promotions, events and competitions. The content of the individual newsletters is briefly described during the registration process. The legal basis for sending the respective newsletter is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 para. 2 no. 3 DSGVO. § Section 7 para. 2 no. 3 UWG or the legal authorisation pursuant to Section 7 para. 3 UWG.
We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to subscribe to our newsletters. This means that after you have registered, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address you have provided, in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration, your information will be automatically deleted after 3 days.
The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The provision of further data is voluntary: this data is used to address you personally. After your confirmation, we will store your e-mail address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter until you cancel your subscription. We also store your current IP address at the time of registration, the time of registration and the confirmation for up to three years after registration (limitation period). The purpose of this procedure is to be able to prove your registration in case of doubt and, if necessary, to clarify any misuse of your personal data. The legal basis for logging the registration is our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S.1 lit. f DSGVO in proving a previously given consent, see also Art. 7 Para. 1 DSGVO.
You can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link contained in each e-mail and cancelling the respective newsletter. You can declare your cancellation by clicking on the link provided in every newsletter email.
7. contact form and e-mail
We provide you with a contact form on our website for easy contact. The data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to HOPPECKE Batterien GmbH & Co. KG and stored. In addition, the user's IP address and the date and time of transmission are stored at the time of sending. Alternatively, contact can be made via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored. The data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will only be used to process the enquiry.
The legal basis for the processing of data for enquiries via the contact form is your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 a) DSGVO. If you send us an e-mail, the legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) DSGVO. If the e-mail contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 b) DSGVO.
The processing of personal data serves solely to process your enquiry. If you contact us by email, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data. The other personal data processed serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input screen of the contact form and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.
8. WhatsApp applications
Consent to the use of WhatsApp
If the applicant wishes to send their application via WhatsApp and carry out the application process via WhatsApp, the applicant consents to participation in messenger communication and the use of the WhatsApp service in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. We would like to point out that the provider cannot influence the handling of user data and its processing by the WhatsApp service.
Details on data processing by WhatsApp can be found in WhatsApp's privacy policy at the following link WhatsApp Privacy Policy
We would also like to point out that data processing by WhatsApp is associated with security risks. The USA is currently considered a country with an inadequate level of data protection according to EU standards. In particular, there is a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes without you being informed about this data processing and without you having the possibility of a legal remedy against this data processing by the US authorities.
Applicants can revoke the above expressly granted consent at any time with effect for the future by sending us a message via WhatsApp or a message to our other contact details, which can be found in our imprint. The lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation is not affected by the revocation.
Even if rexx systems does not transmit any data to WhatsApp via the WhatsApp Business API, the applicant sends their data to WhatsApp. This is a US-American service provider. Due to the current ECJ case law (so-called Schrems II judgement), data protection-compliant transmission is therefore currently not possible. According to WhatsApp, communication via WhatsApp itself is end-to-end encrypted. This means that only the parties involved in the communication can read the messages. WhatsApp only receives the information that a communication is taking place (so-called metadata). However, as the applicants use their own private WhatsApp profile, the metadata is transmitted to WhatsApp and stored on US servers. It is not clear whether and, if so, to what extent WhatsApp uses the data for its own purposes or passes it on to third parties.
Your communication via the WhatsApp Business API is also end-to-end encrypted. In addition, a corresponding order processing contract has been concluded with the WhatsApp Business API provider, which contractually guarantees data security through suitable technical and organisational measures. The metadata generated on the part of the company is stored exclusively on the servers of the hosting partner of rexx systems (in SaaS operation) in Germany and is not transferred to WhatsApp.
9. transfer of personal data/third country transfer
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties unless we are legally obliged to do so, or the transfer of data is necessary for the fulfilment of the contractual relationship, or you have previously expressly consented to the transfer of your data.
Your data will only be passed on to affiliated companies if they work together with us or on our behalf and support HOPPECKE Batterien GmbH & Co. KG in the provision of its services. Your personal data is processed by contracted service providers as part of order processing in accordance with Art. 28 DSGVO. The aforementioned service providers only receive access to such personal information as is necessary for the fulfilment of the respective activity. These service providers are prohibited from passing on your personal information or using it for other purposes, in particular for their own advertising purposes. Insofar as external service providers may otherwise come into contact with your personal data, we have taken legal, technical and organisational measures and carried out regular checks to ensure that they also comply with the applicable data protection regulations.
We attach great importance to processing your data within the EU/EEA. However, we may use service providers who process data outside the EU/EEA. In these cases, we ensure that an appropriate level of data protection comparable to the standards within the EU is established at the recipient before your personal data is transferred. This can be achieved, for example, by means of EU standard contracts or binding corporate rules or special agreements to which the company can subject itself, as well as additional technical and organisational measures if necessary.
10. consent management
The Consent Management of rexx systems integrated in the job portal is used. This can be found in the cookie icon at the bottom right of the website.
11. application procedure
We offer you the opportunity to apply online via our website. In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process.
Scope and purpose of data processing
We use the application tool of the company rexx systems GmbH, Süderstrasse 75-79, 20097 Hamburg, Germany (hereinafter: rexx systems), which is integrated into our website. rexx systems acts as our processor within the meaning of Art. 28 DSGVO.

This includes your title, first name, surname, address, telephone number, e-mail address, your CV and data on your education and qualifications and, if applicable, information on your work and residence permit (Art. 6 para. 1 letter b DSGVO, § 26 BDSG). All data that you provide to us via the application tool is processed solely for the purpose of carrying out the application and selection process and is used solely to assess your professional suitability and to contact you.

Once you have entered your application data and confirmed your entries by clicking the ‘Send’ button, your data will be transmitted to us via an SSL-encrypted connection.
Storage period
If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, the data you have submitted will be deleted no later than 6 months after the end of the application process. Any physical application documents will be destroyed. The retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will only be deleted when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.
Longer storage may also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
Legal basis
The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO (general contract initiation) and - if you have given your consent - Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. Consent can be revoked at any time. To do so, send an informal email to revocation (at) hoppecke.com.
The legal basis for data processing for data collection and processing via the integrated applicant tool is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The legitimate interest lies in the provision of a modern, simple and efficient application option.
If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored by us on the basis of Section 26 (1) BDSG for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.
11.1 Inclusion in the applicant pool
If we do not make you a job offer, you may have the option of being included in our applicant pool. If you are accepted, all documents and information from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you in the event of suitable vacancies.
Inclusion in the applicant pool is based exclusively on your express consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). Giving your consent is voluntary and is not related to the current application process. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To do so, send an e-mail to revocation (at) hoppecke.com. In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool. Your data will be permanently deleted from the applicant pool no later than two years after you have given your consent, even without revocation.
12. sanctions list screening of applicant data
Since the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York in September 2001, the European Union (EU) has issued a series of regulations to prevent terrorists or suspected terrorists from gaining funds to support terrorist activities by participating in economic life (anti-terrorism regulations). At the same time, the number of embargoes imposed on certain countries by EU regulations has also increased in recent years (country-specific embargoes).
The regulations contain a so-called prohibition on making funds available: they prohibit the direct or indirect provision of funds or economic resources to certain natural persons who appear on the relevant lists in the annexes to the regulations (sanctions lists). This also includes the payment of salaries to employees and the reimbursement of travel expenses to applicants, as they acquire the authority to dispose of the payment amount upon payment.
