When you use this website, various items of personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you as a person. This Privacy Policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

Please note that data transmitted via the internet (e.g., via email communication) may be subject to security breaches. It is not possible to fully protect all data from access by third parties.

DURATION OF STORAGE

Unless a specific storage period is specified in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the processing of data no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to the processing of data, your data will be deleted insofar as 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 deleted after these reasons no longer apply.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING OF DATA ON THIS WEBSITE

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, insofar as special categories of data are processed in as per Art. 9 (1) GDPR. In case express consent has been given to have personal data sent to third countries, the data will also be processed based on Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to accessing information on your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data will also be processed on the basis of Section 25 (1) of the German Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG). Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required to fulfil the contract or to implement pre-contractual measures, then we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is required to fulfil a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

The following paragraphs of this Privacy Policy provide information on the relevant legal bases in each individual case.

RECIPIENTS OF PERSONAL DATA

We collaborate with various external bodies as part of our business activities. In some cases, it is also necessary to relay personal data to these external bodies. We only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. submitting data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using data processing companies, we only forward the personal data of our customers based on a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.

REVOKING YOUR CONSENT TO DATA PROCESSING

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent that you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processed prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

RIGHT TO OBJECT TO DATA COLLECTION IN SPECIAL CASES AND TO DIRECT ADVERTISING (ART. 21 GDPR)

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 THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR WHERE THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 (1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA PERTAINING TO YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING.

RIGHT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT WITH THE COMPETENT REGULATORY AUTHORITIES

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

RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment 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 data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

INFORMATION, CORRECTION AND DELETION

As permitted by law, you have the right at any time to be provided with information free of charge about your stored personal data as well as its origin, the recipient and the purpose for which it has been processed. You also have the right to have this data corrected or deleted. You can contact us at any time about this and any other questions you may have on the subject of personal data.

RIGHT TO RESTRICT PROCESSING

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

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, 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 can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. 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, this data may – apart from its storage – only be processed with your consent or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect 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 for the protection of the transmission of confidential content, such as the enquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection in your browser's address line when it changes from "http://" to "https://" and the lock icon is displayed in your browser's address bar.

4. DATA COLLECTION ON THIS WEBSITE

COOKIES

Our websites use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any damage to your terminal 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 terminal device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies can come from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain third-party services within websites (e.g. cookies for the processing of payment services).

Cookies perform various functions. Many 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 can be used to evaluate user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) (necessary cookies) 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 to ensure the fault-free and optimised provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, the processing takes place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDSG). Consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in specific cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

This Privacy Policy explains which cookies and services are used on this website.

This website uses the consent technology from Usercentrics to obtain your consent to store certain cookies on your terminal device or to use specific technologies and document them in compliance with data protection regulations. The provider of this technology is Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Straße 7, 80331 Munich, Germany, website: HTTPS://USERCENTRICS.COM/DE/ (hereinafter referred to as "Usercentrics").

• Your consent(s) or the revocation of your consent(s)
• Your IP address
• Information about your browser
• Information about your terminal device
• Time of your visit to the website
• Geolocation

Usercentrics then stores a cookie in your browser to be able to assign the consents given or their revocation to you. The data collected in this way is stored until you ask us to delete it, delete the Usercentrics cookie yourself or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory record retention obligations remain unaffected.

The Usercentrics banner on this website was configured with the help of eRecht24. You can recognise this by the fact that the eRecht24 logo appears in the banner. A connection to the eRecht24 image server is established  to display the eRecht24 logo in the banner. The IP address is also transmitted, but is only stored in anonymised form in the server logs. The eRecht24 image server is located in Germany with a German provider. The banner itself is provided exclusively by Usercentrics.

Usercentrics is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

Consent can be revoked at any time.

We will keep the data you enter in the contact form 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).

It is necessary to save your IP address to use the Google Maps functions. This information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this website has no influence on this data transfer. If Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Web Fonts to display fonts uniformly. When you access Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and the easy location of the places we indicate on the website. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) of the German Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG), insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) as defined in the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

The transfer of data to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Click on these links for more information: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/ und https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/sccs/.

GOOGLE RECAPTCHA

We use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter referred to as "reCAPTCHA") on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

reCAPTCHA is used to check whether the data entered on this website (e.g. on a contact form) has been entered by a human or by an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as visitors access the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, how long the visitor remains on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not advised that such an analysis is taking place.
The data is stored and analysed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its website from abusive automated spying and SPAM. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) of the German Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG), insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) as defined in the TTDSG.

6. OWN SERVICES

HANDLING OF APPLICANT DATA

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by email, post or via the online application form). Below, we inform you about 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 in accordance with applicable data protection laws and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated strictly confidentially.

SCOPE AND PURPOSE OF DATA COLLECTION

If you send us an application, we process your related personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes from job interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide on whether or not to establish an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (general contract initiation) and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data is shared within our company solely with individuals involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.

DATA RETENTION PERIOD

If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to store the data you have transmitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) for up to six (6) months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data is then deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. The data retention serves mainly as evidence in case of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be needed after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will only be deleted when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.

Data can be stored longer if you have given your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) or if statutory record retention obligations prevent the deletion.

INCLUSION IN THE APPLICANT POOL

If we do not make you a job offer, you may have the opportunity to be included in our applicant pool. If you are accepted, all documents and details from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool so that you can be contacted in the event of suitable vacancies.
Inclusion in the applicant pool is based exclusively on your express consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). Giving consent is voluntary and is not related to the current application process. Data subjects can withdraw their consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, provided there are no legal reasons to retain the data.

The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been granted.
