          If the client has the software, “SecurePIM Management Portal“, hosted by Materna Virtual Solution, the parties shall enter into a separate agreement regarding commissioned data processing in accordance with Article 28 GDPR, under which Materna Virtual Solution acts as a processor of the client.

          g) Recipient of personal data

          If the software, ”SecurePIM Management Portal“, is hosted by Materna Virtual Solution as a processor, Materna Virtual Solution will, in turn, use subcontractors in accordance with the agreement on commissioned data processing in accordance with Article 28 GDPR.

          Materna Virtual Solution has integrated Sentry in its SecurePIM Android App. Sentry is a programme with the purpose of analysing and fixing errors of the SecurePIM App and improving the SecurePIM App. When the SecurePIM App crashes, the user will be asked to consent to the transmission of certain data regarding the incident to Materna Virtual Solution; those data include the device type, the version of the operating system, data regarding the hardware of the mobile device, as well as the current position in the source code and the time of the crash, and the condition of the application at the time of the crash. Those data will only be transmitted if the user has given consent to the transmission. This consent can be removed at any time in the settings. Materna Virtual Solution will neither collect nor transmit the user’s IP address or any other data by which the user or the affected mobile device can be identified.

          Upon the creation of a ticket in the ticket system of Materna Virtual Solution, the system will send an automatic email to the email address from which the notification was sent. That response includes, inter alia, a link through which the client, or prospective client, can look at the created ticket.

The administration of the tickets is logically separated and sorted by organisation, so that a distribution partner of Materna Virtual Solution may only access tickets of the clients supported by the distribution partner.

          Materna Virtual Solution collects and processes personal data of applicants for the purpose of carrying out the application procedure.

If Materna Virtual Solution does not enter into an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be deleted two months from the rejection, unless a longer storage is necessary owing to legitimate interests of the controller. Such legitimate interest might exist, for example, in the event of proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act.

          We may transfer your personal data to companies affiliated with us, insofar as this is permissible within the scope of the stated purpose and legal basis. Furthermore, we forward your application documents to companies of the Materna Group within the scope of application management.
