Privacy information for ade.international

Website access, email contact and rights/opt-out requests · Version 1.1 · Last updated 15 August 2026

This notice covers only the websites currently provided, email communication and the manual rights and source opt-out channel. Separate processing of public employer and job sources is described in a dedicated privacy notice.

1. Controller and data protection contact

General contact: kontakt@ade.international

Functional contact for the Data Protection Officer: data@ade.international

Data protection rights, objections and source-blocking requests: optout@ade.international or the rights/opt-out page.

2. Scope

This notice applies when you access the information pages provided under ade.international and its legal-information subdomains, contact us by email, or use the current manual channel for data protection rights and source-related requests. It does not cover any account, dialogue, matching, application, voice, payment or other product feature that has not been activated.

3. Accessing the websites

When the websites are accessed, technically necessary connection and log data are processed. These may include the IP address, time, requested address or route, HTTP method and status code, transferred data volume, referrer, browser and device information, response duration and security-related events.

The purposes are secure delivery of the pages, stability, error analysis and the detection and prevention of misuse and attacks. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interests are the secure, stable and accountable operation of the online service.

Regular visitor access logs are generally retained for seven days. Where a specific, documented security incident occurs, necessary extracts may be held separately for no more than 30 days. Statutory duties and a specifically required legal hold remain unaffected.

4. Cookies and external page elements

According to the currently verified technical configuration, these static information pages do not use analytics, advertising or profiling services and do not set non-essential cookies or comparable storage technologies. They load no external fonts, scripts, images or embedded media. If this changes, the notice will be updated before or at the time of the change; technologies requiring consent will not be used without valid prior consent.

5. Email communication

If you contact us by email, we process in particular sender and recipient details, your email address, your name where provided, the message and attachments, and header and delivery metadata. Other details are processed only if you provide them or they are necessary to handle the request.

Processing is carried out to handle and answer your request. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for contractual or pre-contractual matters, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR for legal obligations and otherwise Article 6(1)(f) GDPR based on the interest in appropriate communication and documentation.

Contact requests are generally deleted six months after they have been finally dealt with. Where statutory retention requirements or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims require longer retention, the relevant statutory or necessary period applies.

6. Rights and source-related requests

Requests sent to data@ade.international or optout@ade.international are currently handled manually. We process only the information required to identify, assess, communicate and implement the request. A minimal blocking or suppression record may be stored for as long as necessary to continue to respect an effective objection or confirmed source block; its necessity is reviewed periodically.

Additional identity or authority evidence is requested only where there are reasonable doubts and only to the extent necessary. Details are available on the rights/opt-out page.

7. Recipients and transfers

Where necessary, data may be disclosed to contractually bound service providers for hosting, IT operations, domain and DNS operations, backups, email and communication services. Within ADE, access is limited to authorised persons. Where a service provider acts as a processor, processing is governed by Article 28 GDPR.

No targeted transfer of personal data to recipients outside the EU or EEA is intended for the active processing described here. If this changes, the requirements of Articles 44 et seq. GDPR will be assessed in advance and this notice will be updated. In response to an applicable access request, we provide the recipients actually concerned in accordance with Article 15 GDPR.

8. AI and automated decisions

No personal data are transmitted to an AI system for the active processing described here. No decision producing legal or similarly significant effects on a natural person is made solely by automated means.

9. Your rights and right to complain

Subject to the statutory conditions, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. Where processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object on grounds relating to your particular situation. You may withdraw consent with effect for the future.

You may lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. At the controller's establishment, the competent authority is in particular the Saxon Commissioner for Data Protection and Transparency, Maternistraße 17, 01067 Dresden, Germany.

10. Updates

If the processing described here changes materially, this notice will be updated before the changed processing begins. The date shown above identifies the current version.
