Berg Lund & Company (BLC) attaches great importance to the protection of personal data and respects your wish for privacy. In the following we inform you about the collection of personal data when using our website. If you have any further questions regarding the handling of your personal data, please contact our data protection officer.
The party responsible pursuant the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:
Berg Lund & Company
Represented by: Markus Berg, Dr. Torsten Lund, Dr. Thomas Nitschke, Dr. Martin Bernhardt, Dr. André Krapat

We collect the following technical information (log file data) when you use the website for purely informational purposes, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information (e.g. via a contact form):
The collection of this data is technically necessary to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security. We (and our service providers) regularly do not know who is behind an IP address. We do not combine the data listed above with other data.
The legal basis is Art. 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Since the collection of data for the provision of the website and storage in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website and to protect against misuse, our legitimate interest in data processing prevails at this point.
Data security is a key concern for us. We have taken extensive technical and operational precautions to protect your data from accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. Our security procedures are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological progress.
You can apply to BLC electronically. Please note: If you send us unencrypted e-mails, their contents are not protected against unauthorized access.
Your data will be used to process your application and to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis is § 26 section 1 in conjunction with section 8 sentence 2 BDSG. Furthermore, your personal data may be processed if this is necessary to defend against legal claims asserted against us in the application process. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 section 1, first sentence lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest in the processing also lies in the stated purposes.
If there is an employment relationship between you and us, we may process the personal data already received from you for the purposes of the employment relationship in accordance with paragraph 26 (1) BDSG if this is necessary for the implementation or termination of the employment relationship or for the exercise or fulfilment of the rights and obligations of the representation of employees’ interests arising from a law or a tariff agreement, a works or service agreement (collective agreement).
Your application data will not be processed beyond the use described above.
Your personal data will be deleted after completion of the application process after 6 months at the latest, unless deletion conflicts with any other legitimate interests on our part or you have not given us your consent for longer storage. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the “Allgemeinen Gleichbehandlungsgesetz” (General Equal Treatment Act, AGG).
When you contact us by e-mail, the data you provide (your e-mail address, your name and telephone number if applicable) will be stored by us in order to answer your questions and process your requests. The legal basis in this respect is Art. 6 section 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. If we request information via a contact form that is not required for contacting you, we have always marked this as optional. We use this information to specify your request and to improve the processing of your request. This information is provided expressly on a voluntary basis and with your consent, Art. 6 section 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. If this involves information on communication channels (e.g. email address, telephone number), you also consent to us contacting you via this communication channel in order to respond to your request. You can of course revoke this consent at any time for the future.
Your data that we have received in the course of contacting you will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected, your request has been fully processed and no further communication with you is necessary or desired by you.
As the party responsible, BLC has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps. Absolute protection cannot be guaranteed; in any case, sending unencrypted e-mails is not secure. We therefore ask you not to send sensitive data by unencrypted e-mail, but to use either encrypted communication channels or the postal service.
Technically necessary cookies, which are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you have requested, are stored on the basis of Art. 6 section 1, first sentence lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Technically necessary cookies on this website:
Web analysis with etracker
The provider of this website uses the services of etracker GmbH from Hamburg, Germany (www.etracker.com) to analyze usage data. We do not use cookies for web analysis by default.
The data generated with etracker is processed and stored by etracker exclusively in Germany on behalf of the provider of this website and is therefore subject to the strict German and European data protection laws and standards. etracker has been independently audited and certified in this respect and has been awarded the ePrivacyseal data protection seal of approval.
Data processing is carried out on the basis of the legal provisions of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f (legitimate interest) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our concern within the meaning of the GDPR (legitimate interest) is the optimization of our online offer and our website. Since the privacy of our visitors is important to us, the data that may allow a reference to an individual person, such as the IP address, login or device identifiers, are anonymized or pseudonymized as soon as possible. No other use, combination with other data or transfer to third parties takes place.
You can object to the data processing described above at any time by clicking on the slider. The objection has no negative consequences. If no slider is displayed, data collection has already been prevented by other blocking measures.
Berg Lund & Company uses various social media channels to provide information on current topics such as new publications or blog articles. On our website you will find links to our presence on the social media services of LinkedIn, Xing and squeaker. You can recognize links to the websites of the social media services by the respective company logo. When you click on a link to a social media service, a connection is established to the servers of the social media service. This tells the servers of the social media service that you have visited our website.
Please note that as soon as you are on the pages of a social media service, we have no influence on the scope, type and purpose of data processing by the respective provider. For more information on the use of your data by the social media services linked on our website, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective social media service.
Further data is transferred to the provider of the social media service. These are, for example:
If you are already logged in to the corresponding social media service at the time you activate the link, the provider of the social media service may be able to determine your user name and possibly even your real name from the transmitted data and assign this information to your personal user account with the social media service. You can exclude this possibility of assignment to your personal user account if you log out of your user account beforehand.
The servers of the social media services are located in the USA and other countries outside the European Union. The data may therefore also be processed by the provider of the social media service in countries outside the European Union. Please note that companies in these countries are subject to data protection laws that do not generally protect personal data to the same extent as is the case in the member states of the European Union.
We will be happy to provide you with information as to whether personal data relating to you is being processed; if this is the case, you have a right to information about this personal data and to the information listed in detail in Art. 15 GDPR. In addition, you have the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), the right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR), the right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR) and the right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR) under the respective legal requirements.
Pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6 para. 1, first sentence lit. e GDPR (data processing in the public interest) or on Art. 6 para. 1, first sentence lit. f GDPR (data processing to safeguard a legitimate interest). If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
To exercise your above rights, please contact us by email at datenschutzbeauftragter@berg-lund.de or by post at Berg Lund & Company, Am Sandtorkai 77, 20457 Hamburg. The exercise of your above rights is free of charge for you.
Without prejudice to these rights and the possibility of seeking any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority at any time, 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 personal data relating to you infringes data protection regulations (Art. 77 GDPR).
