Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also involves the transmission of personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data if this is necessary within the framework of contract fulfillment, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., transmission of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in the disclosure, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only pass on personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, 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 AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE, OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING, 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 TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEN NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a common, machine-readable format, or to have it transferred to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Right to Access, Rectification, and Erasure

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 data processing. You may also have the right to rectify or delete this data. For this purpose and for any further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us about this at any time. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

• If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.

• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

• If we no longer need your personal data but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing instead of deletion.

• If you have objected to processing under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests must take place between your and our interests. As long as it is not yet determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from storage – may only be processed 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 of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL or TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser’s address line from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Advertising Emails

The use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any harm to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.

Cookies can be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow the integration of certain services provided by third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or video display). Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies necessary for carrying out electronic communication processes, providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring the web audience) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is based exclusively on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser to notify you about the setting of cookies, allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and enable automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

You can find which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy.

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:

• Browser type and browser version

• Operating system used

• Referrer URL

• Hostname of the accessing computer

• Time of the server request

• IP address

These data are not combined with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information 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.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the inquiries directed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry by Email, Phone, or Fax

If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries directed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us via contact inquiries 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 completed). Mandatory statutory provisions – particularly legal retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Analytics Tools and Advertising

Matomo

This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo.

With Matomo, we can collect and analyze data about the use of our website by visitors. This allows us to find out, among other things, when and from which region a page view occurred and which actions were performed by visitors (e.g., clicks, purchases, etc.). The following data is collected:

• The first two bytes of the visitor’s IP address (anonymized)

• The accessed website

• The website from which the user arrived on our site (referrer)

• The subpages accessed from the accessed website

• The time spent on the website

• The frequency of visits to the website

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising. If appropriate consent has been requested (e.g., consent to the storage of cookies), processing is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG; consent can be revoked at any time.

IP Anonymization

We use IP anonymization with Matomo. This means that your IP address is shortened before analysis so that it can no longer be clearly assigned to you.

Hosting

We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers, so all analysis data remains with us and is not passed on.

6. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with Enhanced Privacy Mode

This website incorporates videos from YouTube. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

When you visit a page on our website that includes a YouTube video, a connection is established to YouTube’s servers. In this process, the YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you visited.

If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, videos played in enhanced privacy mode are not used to personalize browsing on YouTube. Ads shown in enhanced privacy mode are also not personalized. In this mode, no cookies are set. However, so-called local storage elements may still be stored in the user’s browser. These elements can contain personal data similar to cookies and can be used for recognition purposes.

Details about enhanced privacy mode can be found here:

https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780

Further data processing operations may be triggered after activating a YouTube video, over which we have no control.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of providing an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing will be based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) as defined by the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy:

https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en

The company is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the United States intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards when processing data in the U.S. Companies certified under the DPF commit to these standards.

7. Our Own Services

Handling of Applicant Data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., via email, postal mail, or online application form). Below, we explain the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data will be carried out in accordance with applicable data protection laws and all other legal provisions, and that your data will be treated confidentially.

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection

If you send us an application, we process the personal data associated with it (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) as far as necessary to decide on establishing an employment relationship.

The legal basis is § 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation), and — if you have given consent — Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be revoked at any time.

Within our company, your personal data will only be shared with individuals involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

Data Retention Period

If we are unable to offer you a position, you reject a job offer, or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you provided for up to six months after the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application) based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

After this period, the data will be deleted, and physical application documents will be destroyed. This retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute.

If it becomes apparent that the data will still be required after the six-month period (e.g., due to a pending or threatened legal dispute), deletion will only occur once the purpose for extended retention no longer applies.

Longer retention may also take place if you have given your express consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

Inclusion in the Applicant Pool

If we do not offer you a position, we may ask for your consent to include your application in our applicant pool.

If you agree, all documents and information from your application will be stored in the applicant pool so we can contact you about suitable job openings in the future.

Inclusion in the applicant pool is based solely on your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Giving consent is entirely voluntary and unrelated to the ongoing application process.

You can revoke your consent at any time. In this case, your data will be permanently deleted from the applicant pool, provided there are no legal reasons for retention.

Data from the applicant pool will be deleted no later than two years after consent is granted.
