This will help us retrieve the information if there should be any follow-up questions. If the completed contact form results in an agreement, we will retain this data for up to two years after the service provision has ended. This also helps us train our customer service department in further improving its services, which constitutes a legitimate interest.

We therefore recommend that you read the relevant privacy and cookie statements of the provider concerned.
Testimonials
Our website presents a number of testimonials of our services, also referred to as ‘customer cases’. This is meant to give you a complete picture of our products/services and how our customers rate the use of those products and services in practice. In this connection, we process the following data:
- First name and last name of the reviewer
- Name of the organisation where the reviewer works
- Any photographs provided by the organisation/reviewer.
We need this data for the purpose of assessing the review and processing it on the website. The ground for processing this data is consent: all reviewers are expressly asked for their consent before a review is placed on our website. The reviewers and other parties involved can easily withdraw this consent again at any time by contacting us. We will retain the data until it has lost its relevance. If the consent is withdrawn, we will remove all data immediately.
Recruitment and selection of new staff
You can apply for a job at AG5. When you submit a job application to us, we will collect the following data about you:
- Name and address data
- Gender
- Date and country of birth
- Contact details
- CV
- The substance of your motivation letter and motivation
- Salary indication (optional)
- Your availability (optional)
- Any references requested.
We process this data for the purpose of handling your job application and – if you join our company – implementing your employment contract.
Please note: A social media and Google check may be part of the selection procedure. We do so to ensure that hiring new staff will not be detrimental to our image. To this end, we will search for your name on Google and your profiles (if any) on a variety of social media. Obviously, we can only do so to the extent that these profiles are public. We will not ask you to grant us access to a protected social media page or to connect with us. The results of the check will be discussed with you.
In addition to a social media and Google check, the selection procedure may also involve an assessment. This is because, for certain positions, we need to ensure that applicants possess particular qualities that are essential for those position. If an assessment should be necessary, we will inform you prior to the assessment about the manner in which we will handle your data for this purpose.
We will retain the application data for up to four weeks after the vacancy was filled. We retain this data so that we will be able to contact you if the position should again become available during the probationary period. If we cannot offer you a position at that moment but expect that a suitable position will become available for you at our company in the near future, we may – with your consent – retain your application for another year. You can withdraw this consent at any time by sending us an email.
If you join our company, we will keep your application data in the personnel file. We will retain this file for as long as necessary. For more information on this point, please refer to the internal privacy statement.
