The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.
Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
The responsible body for data processing on this website is:
PohlBock GmbH
Gewerbestraße 29
79777 Ühlingen
Telephone: +49 77479397717
Email: info@pohlbock.com
The responsible body is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).
Unless a more specific storage period has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for erasure or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be erased, provided that we have no other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, the data will be erased once these reasons no longer apply.
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1) of the GDPR.
1 lit. a GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, insofar as special categories of data are processed in accordance with Article 9(1) of the GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Article 49(1) of the GDPR. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is also carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. If your data is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. 1 lit. f GDPR. Information on the respective legal bases applicable in each individual case is provided in the following sections of this privacy policy.
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. transfer of data to tax authorities), or if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1) of the GDPR. 1 lit. f GDPR in the disclosure, or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using processors, we only pass on our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, an agreement on joint processing is concluded.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the point of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ARTICLE 6(1)(E) OR (F) OF THE GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(2) GDPR).
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to you or to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, as well as, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. For this purpose, as well as for any further questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually require time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of your interests and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from being stored – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the change in the browser’s address bar from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

This data is used to detect threats, ward off attacks and ensure the security and functionality of our website.
Wordfence may set cookies to distinguish legitimate users from potential attackers and to implement security rules technically.
Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in protecting our website, IT infrastructure and the integrity and security of the data processed via the website.

7. Own services
Handling of applicant data
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by email, post or via an online application form). Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of the personal data collected from you as part of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions, and that your data will be treated with strict confidentiality.
If you submit an application to us, we process the associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication details, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Article 6(1) of the GDPR. 1 lit. b GDPR (general initiation of a contract) and – if you have given your consent – Article 6(1) of the GDPR. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data you have submitted will be processed on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Article 6(1) of the GDPR. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship and stored in our data processing systems.
As part of the application process, we may also conduct an internet search on you. This primarily includes Google searches, LinkedIn and Xing. The legal basis for this type of processing is our legitimate interest in obtaining an overall impression of publicly available information about you in accordance with Art. 6 1 lit. f DSGVO über Sie zu verschaffen.
If we are unable to make you a job offer, if you reject a job offer, or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months after the conclusion of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). After this period, the data will be deleted and the physical application documents will be destroyed. The retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required beyond the 6-month period (e.g. due to a threatened or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place once the purpose for further retention no longer applies.
A longer retention period may also take place if you have given your corresponding consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
Inclusion in the applicant pool
If we are unable to make you a job offer, there may be the possibility of including you in our applicant pool. If you are included, 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(1)(a) GDPR). The granting of consent is voluntary and is not related to the current application process. The data subject may withdraw their consent at any time. In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool, provided that no statutory retention obligations apply.
The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been given.
