Depending on how you interact with BAMCO, this may include:
We do not request sensitive personal data unless it is necessary for a specific lawful purpose. Please do not submit unnecessary information concerning health, religion, political opinions, ethnicity or other special categories of personal data.

If you contact BAMCO by email or through a website contact form, we process the information you provide in order to respond to your inquiry and, where applicable, prepare or perform a business relationship.
This may include:
Where your inquiry concerns a potential or existing contract, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

BAMCO operates an international network of independent inspectors and technical professionals.
If you submit an Inspector Registration form, we process the information you provide for the purpose of evaluating and managing potential professional cooperation and identifying suitable professionals for future inspection assignments.
Depending on the information submitted, this may include:
Submitting an Inspector Registration does not create an employment relationship, guarantee an assignment or constitute a binding offer of work.
The legal basis for processing information in connection with potential cooperation is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, where the processing is carried out at your request prior to entering into a contractual relationship.
Where BAMCO maintains professional contact information and evaluates profiles for legitimate future cooperation opportunities, processing may also be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. BAMCO's legitimate interest is maintaining a qualified professional network capable of supporting industrial inspection assignments in different locations and technical disciplines.
BAMCO currently uses Jotform to provide and manage the Inspector Registration form and may use Jotform for other online forms.
When a Jotform form is loaded or submitted, Jotform may process technical information required to provide the form, including IP address, browser and device information.
Information entered into the form, including uploaded CVs or professional documents, is processed through Jotform on behalf of BAMCO.
BAMCO uses Jotform as a service provider for data collection and form processing.
The legal basis for processing through the registration form corresponds to the purpose of the respective form, particularly Art. 6(1)(b) and/or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Where processing or storage takes place outside the European Economic Area, appropriate safeguards must apply in accordance with Chapter V of the GDPR.
Information submitted by inspectors may be incorporated into BAMCO's internal professional network or inspector database.
The database may be used to:
Access to inspector information is limited to persons who require such access for legitimate BAMCO business purposes.
BAMCO does not sell inspector information to third parties.
BAMCO may need to provide limited professional information about an inspector to a client, inspection company, project partner or other party involved in a potential inspection assignment.
Such information may include, where necessary:
Personal information will only be shared where reasonably necessary for evaluating, arranging or performing potential professional cooperation.
Where possible and appropriate, BAMCO will limit the information disclosed to what is necessary for the relevant purpose.
The legal basis may be Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where the disclosure is necessary for preparing or performing professional cooperation, or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR where BAMCO or the relevant business partner has a legitimate interest in evaluating professional suitability for an assignment.
Depending on the circumstances, BAMCO processes personal data on one or more of the following legal bases:

Appropriate safeguards may include:
Additional technical and organizational safeguards may be used where appropriate.
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies required for technical website functionality, security or user preferences.
Strictly necessary technologies may be used where permitted without consent.
If BAMCO uses analytics, advertising, tracking or other non-essential technologies for which consent is legally required, such technologies will be activated only after the required consent has been obtained.
Users can also manage cookies through their browser settings.
Disabling technically necessary functions may affect certain website features.
Our website may contain links to third-party websites and social media platforms, including LinkedIn.
When you follow such a link, you leave the BAMCO website and the relevant third party becomes responsible for its own processing of personal data.
BAMCO has no control over the processing performed independently by external websites or platforms.
Please review the privacy information provided by the relevant third-party provider.
BAMCO retains personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
The applicable retention period depends on the type of information and the purpose of processing.
General inquiries and correspondence may be retained for an appropriate period after the communication has ended where this is necessary to document the business relationship or protect legal interests.
Records subject to German commercial, tax or accounting retention requirements are retained for the legally required period.
Inspector profiles may be retained while there remains a reasonable prospect of professional cooperation.
BAMCO will periodically review stored inspector information to determine whether it remains relevant and necessary.
Profiles that have had no meaningful professional interaction for an extended period should be reviewed and, where appropriate, updated or deleted.
Inspectors may contact BAMCO at any time and request deletion of their profile, subject to any overriding legal obligations or legitimate grounds for continued retention.
Technical website and security data is retained only for the period necessary for website operation, security and troubleshooting, subject to provider-specific technical retention periods.
Inspectors and cooperation partners are encouraged to keep their professional information accurate and up to date.
If your contact details, certifications, location, availability or professional qualifications change, you may contact BAMCO to request an update.
BAMCO takes appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access.
Access to personal data is limited to persons who require it for legitimate business purposes.
However, no internet-based transmission or electronic storage system can provide absolute security.
Please do not submit unnecessary confidential or highly sensitive personal information through standard website forms.
