Privacy Policy
The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data are all data with which you can be personally identified. Detailed information on the subject of data protection can be found in our data protection declaration listed below this text.
The data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the section "Note on the responsible body" in this data protection declaration.
On the one hand, your data is collected when you communicate it to us. This can be, for. E.g. data that you enter in a contact form. Other data are recorded automatically or with your consent when you visit the website by our IT systems. This is mainly technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of the page was viewed). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.
Some of the data is collected in order to ensure that the website is error-free. Other data can be used to analyze your user behavior.
You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have given your consent to data processing, you can revoke this consent at any time for the future. You also have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted under certain circumstances. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. You can contact us at any time if you have any further questions about data protection.
When you visit this website, your surfing behavior can be statistically evaluated. This is done primarily with so-called analysis programs. You can find detailed information on these analysis programs in the following data protection declaration.
This website is hosted by an external service provider (hoster). The personal data recorded on this website is stored on the host's servers. This can be v. a. be IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contract data, contact data, names, website access and other data generated via a website.
The host is used for the purpose of fulfilling the contract with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.b GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast and efficient provision of our online offer by a professional provider (Art. 6 Para . 1 lit.f GDPR).
Our host will only process your data to the extent that this is necessary to fulfill its performance obligations and follow our instructions with regard to this data.
We use the following hosters:
Vercel Inc. 340 S Lemon Ave # 4133 Walnut, CA 91789
The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.
When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data are data with which you can be personally identified. This data protection declaration explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.
The responsible body for data processing on this website is:
Oktus GmbH
Wiesengrund 1a
17309 Viereck
Email: info@oktus.io
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 specific storage period is specified in this data protection declaration, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have any other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion takes place after these reasons no longer apply.
Our website includes tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data can be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no data protection level comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to surrender personal data to security authorities without you as the person concerned being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
If the data processing takes place on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter E or F GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons that arise from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this data protection declaration. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned, unless we can prove compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims ( Objection according to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR).
If your personal data are processed in order to operate direct mail, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection according to Art. 21 Paragraph 2 GDPR).
In the event of violations of the GDPR, the 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 violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another person responsible, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http: //" to "https: //" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correct or delete this data. You can contact us at any time if you have any further questions on the subject of personal data.
You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to check this. For the duration of the test, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
- If the processing of your personal data happened / happens unlawfully, you can request the restriction of the data processing instead of the deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need them to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of being deleted.
- If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 Paragraph 1 GDPR, your interests and ours must be weighed up. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be allowed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest processed by the European Union or a member state.
Our Internet pages use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.
In some cases, cookies from third-party companies can also be stored on your device when you enter our website (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain third-party services (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have different functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or to display advertising.
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies) or to provide certain functions you want (functional cookies, e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f GDPR, unless a different legal basis is given. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the storage of the relevant cookies takes place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR); the consent can be revoked at any time.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
Insofar as cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you of this separately in the context of this data protection declaration and, if necessary, request your consent.
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- Browser type and browser version
- used operating system
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
This data will not be merged with other data sources.
This data is recorded on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of his website - the server log files must be recorded for this.
If you send us inquiries using the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries sent to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was queried.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all personal data derived from it (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries sent to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was queried.
The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.
If you apply for a position via our career pages (e.g. try.oktus.io/karriere), we process the information from the application form: first and last name, phone number, email address, your details on professional experience and your answers to the questions in the form. We do not collect a CV or cover letter.
The processing is carried out to conduct the application procedure and to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, Section 26 BDSG). The data is stored in our applicant system and viewed only by the persons involved in the selection process.
Communication via WhatsApp: The second step of the application procedure is a short voice message that you send us via the WhatsApp messenger to the number shown on the confirmation page; our reply is also sent via WhatsApp to the phone number you provided. WhatsApp is a service of Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland. Your phone number and the content of the communication are transmitted via WhatsApp servers; a transfer to the USA is possible. The legal basis is the performance of the application procedure (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, Section 26 BDSG). If you prefer not to use WhatsApp, simply let us know by email – you can then complete this step by email or phone without any disadvantage to your application.
Campaign attribution: If you reach our career page via an online advertisement, we store the campaign parameters of the requested address (so-called UTM parameters and click identifiers such as fbclid) together with your application. This allows us to see which advertisement applications come from. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in evaluating our recruitment marketing (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Storage period: We delete application data no later than six months after the application procedure has been completed, unless a statutory retention obligation applies or you have consented to longer storage (e.g. inclusion in an applicant pool). If you are hired, the data is transferred to the personnel file.
This page uses so-called web fonts, which are provided by Google, for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.
For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to the Google servers. This gives Google knowledge that this website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google WebFonts is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the uniform representation of the typeface on his website. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer.
Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https: / /policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

This website and our marketing pages (try.oktus.io) use PostHog, a web analytics service provided by PostHog Inc., 2261 Market Street #4008, San Francisco, CA 94114, USA. PostHog records which pages are visited, how long a visit lasts, which page visitors come from, and technical details such as browser, device type, screen resolution and the truncated IP address. On individual pages, interactions such as clicking a phone number or submitting a form are also recorded.
PostHog stores a pseudonymous identifier in your browser’s local storage in order to assign returning visits to the same device. The data is forwarded to PostHog via an address on our own domain (in.oktus.io); processing takes place on servers in the European Union. We use the data exclusively to statistically evaluate the use of our website and to improve our offering. The data is not combined with other data sources for advertising purposes.
On our marketing pages, PostHog is only loaded once you have consented to the “Analytics” category in the cookie banner; the legal basis is then your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TDDDG), which you can revoke at any time via the cookie settings. Otherwise we base its use on our legitimate interest in measuring reach and optimising our website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Further information on data protection at PostHog is available at https://posthog.com/privacy. We have concluded a data processing agreement with PostHog; the transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission.
On our landing pages at try.oktus.io (e.g. career, product and partner pages) we use the Meta visitor action pixel (Meta Pixel, formerly Facebook Pixel) and the Meta Conversions API. The provider is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland.
The Meta Pixel enables Meta to identify visitors to our pages as a target group for displaying advertisements (Meta Ads) and to measure the effectiveness of these advertisements, for example whether an application or contact request was submitted after clicking on an ad. For this purpose, the pixel sets cookies or reads device-related identifiers and transmits data such as the page visited, the time, browser and device information and events (e.g. page view, submission of an application or contact form) to Meta.
Via the Conversions API we additionally transmit the same events directly from our server to Meta. Contact data (email address, phone number, name) is transmitted exclusively in hashed, i.e. pseudonymised, form, together with the IP address, browser identifier and – if available – the cookie identifiers set by Meta. An event identifier ensures that Meta does not count events from the pixel and the server twice.
Meta may link this data to your Meta account if you are logged in there and use it for its own advertising purposes. We have no influence on the further processing by Meta. Insofar as personal data is collected and forwarded to Meta with the help of the Meta Pixel, we and Meta are jointly responsible (Art. 26 GDPR). The joint responsibility is limited to the collection and transfer of the data; the subsequent processing is the sole responsibility of Meta. The agreement is available at https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum.
The processing is based on our legitimate interest in measuring and optimising our recruitment advertising (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Where consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG; consent can be revoked at any time.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, under which Meta is certified, as well as the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum and https://www.facebook.com/help/566994660333381. Further information on the protection of your privacy can be found in the Meta privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. You can object to the use of your data for advertisements in the settings of your Meta account: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.
