General information

In addition to the data that you actively communicate to us on this site (e.g. via our contact form), we collect some technical data. This so-called metadata is automatically transmitted from your computer to our servers as soon as you enter our website (e.g. browser, operating system or time stamp). We use this data to ensure that our website is displayed correctly. We may also collect data via integrated third-party providers (e.g. for external media such as map services or analysis tools). We will inform you about the individual purposes and legal bases in the course of this privacy policy.

Storage duration

If no separate storage period is specified in this privacy policy, we will store your personal data for as long as the purpose of the data processing is given. If you contact us with a justified deletion request or revoke your consent, we will delete your data. Statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.

Legal basis for data processing

If you have consented to data processing, your personal data will be processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR if special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. If you expressly consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data will also be processed in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your end device (e.g. through device fingerprinting), data processing will also take place on the basis of Section 25 (1) TDDDG. Your consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary for the fulfilment of the contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. In addition, we process your data if this is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. In the following sections of this privacy policy, you will be informed about the respective legal basis in individual cases.

Note on data transfer to third countries and US companies without DPF certification

Please note that we use tools from companies that are based in third countries or the USA that are unsafe under data protection law and that are not covered by the EU-US Data Protection Framework Agreement (DPF). When using these tools, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. Please note that a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed in these unsafe third countries.

We would like to clarify that the USA generally offers a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. The transfer of data to the USA is permitted if the recipient has a DPF certification or provides suitable additional guarantees. Information on data transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in our privacy policy.

Contact form

Type and scope of processing

If you send us enquiries (e.g. via contact form, e-mail or telephone), we store all the data that results from this (e.g. name, e-mail address, subject of the enquiry, etc.). We need this data to process your enquiry and to be able to answer any follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

Purpose and legal basis

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. Otherwise, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if you have previously given it.

Storage duration

We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

Contact form for applicants

Type and scope of processing

We collect and process the personal data of applicants. Corresponding data processing may also be carried out electronically, for example when applicants send us application documents by e-mail or via a web form on our website. On our website, we offer you the opportunity to send us applications for advertised vacancies by e-mail.

Purpose and legal basis

We process the personal data of applicants in accordance with the legal requirements for the purpose of initiating an employment relationship (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). You are not obliged to provide us with this data. However, we cannot carry out an application process with you without this data.

If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and, if you provide us with special categories of personal data such as health information, on the basis of Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.

We also use the services of the professional networks LinkedIn and XING to contact potential applicants. In this respect, the operators of the networks act as processors for us in accordance with our instructions. The legal basis for data processing when approaching potential applicants on our behalf is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (our legitimate interests). If you send us your application as a result of such an approach, we process your data for the purpose of initiating an employment relationship as described above on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Storage duration

Your data will be stored for a period of 6 months after the end of the application process. This is done to protect our legitimate interests in order to check whether we need the data for the defence of any claims in connection with the application process. We are then obliged to delete or anonymise your data. In this case, the data will only be available to us as so-called metadata without direct personal reference for statistical analyses (e.g. proportion of women or men in applications, number of applications per period, etc.).

If it is evident that further storage of the data after the 6-month period is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests (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. The legal basis for this further data storage is our legitimate interests in the assertion, exercise or defence of civil law claims (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in conjunction with Art. 24 para. 1 no. 2 GDPR). § Section 24 para. 1 no. 2 BDSG or, insofar as special categories of personal data are stored, Art. 9 para. 2 lit. f GDPR in conjunction with Section 24 para. 2 BDSG). § Section 24 para. 2 BDSG).

Inclusion in the applicant pool

As part of the application process, we offer applicants the opportunity to be included in our "talent pool" for a period of 24 months on the basis of consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR. If you have provided special categories of personal data in your application, such as health information, your consent also extends to this data. You are not obliged to provide us with your application data for our talent pool. However, we will not be able to consider you for future vacancies without this data unless you submit a new application to us.

Consent to the inclusion of application data in the talent pool is voluntary and can be revoked at any time for the future. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of data processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Your application documents will be deleted from the talent pool at the latest after expiry of the storage period or in the event of cancellation or acceptance of a job offer by one of the companies responsible for the talent pool.

If you receive an offer of employment with us during the application process and accept it, we or this company will store the personal data collected during the application process for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR or, if you provide us with special categories of personal data such as health information, Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b GDPR.

Newsletter

We offer you our newsletter on this website. If you would like to subscribe to it, we need your e-mail address and other data to prove that it is your e-mail address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No other personal data is collected unless you provide it voluntarily (e.g. name, telephone number, place of residence, etc.).

When processing the data you provide when registering for the newsletter, we rely exclusively on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR as the legal basis. You can revoke your consent to the processing and storage of your personal data at any time (e.g. via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter) for the future.

We store your personal data that you have provided for the purpose of receiving the newsletter until you unsubscribe from the newsletter with us or the mailing service provider. This does not apply to data that we have stored about you for other purposes.

If you unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing list, your e-mail address will be stored by us or the mailing service provider in a blacklist for an indefinite period of time. This is done to prevent future mailings to you. The data from the blacklist will be used exclusively for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This is not only in your interest, but also in our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to fulfil our legal obligations when sending newsletters. You can object to the storage if your personal interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

Mailchimp

On our website, we use the services of Mailchimp, a service provided by Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA, to organise and analyse the sending of newsletters. The data you enter to subscribe to the newsletter, such as your email address, is stored on Mailchimp servers in the USA.

Mailchimp enables us to analyse the effectiveness of newsletter campaigns. When an email sent by Mailchimp is opened, a file contained in the email (known as a web beacon) connects to Mailchimp's servers in the USA. In this way, it is determined whether the newsletter message has been opened and which links in the email have been clicked on. In addition, technical information such as time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system is recorded. This data cannot be assigned to individual newsletter recipients and is used exclusively for statistical analyses. These analyses help us to better tailor future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

If you do not wish to be analysed by Mailchimp, you must unsubscribe from our newsletter. We provide you with a corresponding unsubscribe link in every newsletter. The data processing takes place on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by this cancellation.

Your data will be stored by us for the newsletter subscription and deleted both by us and by the newsletter service provider as soon as you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

If you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a so-called blacklist in order to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will be used exclusively for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters, in accordance with the legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to this storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest. For more information about Mailchimp's privacy practices, please visit: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.

The company is certified according to the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF), an agreement between the European Union and the USA, which aims to ensure compliance with European data protection standards when processing data in the USA. Certification in accordance with the DPF obliges companies to comply with these data protection standards.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details on this at https://mailchimp.com/eu-us-data-transfer-statement/ and https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/#Annex_C_-_Standard_Contractual_Clauses.

In order to ensure that personal data is processed in accordance with our specifications and in compliance with the GDPR, we have concluded an order processing agreement (AVV) with the provider.

Presence on social media platforms

We operate public profiles in various social networks on our website. You can find more detailed information on the social networks we use in the relevant sections of our privacy policy.

Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter etc. can comprehensively analyse your user behaviour when you visit their websites or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media presences triggers numerous data protection-relevant processing operations:

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection takes place, for example, via cookies that are stored on your end device or by recording your IP address.

With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. This allows interest-based advertising to be displayed to you within and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, the interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are logged in or were logged in.

Please note that we cannot track all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social media portals.

Legal basis for data processing

The purpose of our social media presence is to ensure the widest possible presence on the internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

Responsible party and assertion of rights

When you visit our social media sites (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can assert your rights (information, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. Facebook).

Despite the joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing procedures of the social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.

Duration of data storage

The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage period of your data that is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. via their privacy policy, see below).

When you access this content, you establish a connection to jQuery servers, whereby your IP address and possibly browser data such as your user agent are transmitted. This data is processed exclusively for the above-mentioned purposes and to maintain the security and functionality of jQuery CDN.

Purpose and legal basis

The use of the Content Delivery Network is based on our legitimate interests, i.e. interest in the secure and efficient provision and optimisation of our online offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. GDPR.

Storage duration

The specific storage period of the processed data cannot be influenced by us, but is determined by jQuery. Further information can be found in the privacy policy for jQuery CDN: https://www.stackpath.com/legal/privacy-statement/.

Our website uses services and functions of the open source web analysis service Matomo (formerly Piwik) to analyse the user behaviour of our website visitors.

Matomo

Type and scope of data processing

With the help of Matomo, we can, for example, determine at what times and from which location visitors have viewed certain pages. We also collect and store data such as IP addresses, browsers used and operating systems. This information helps us to understand what actions you have taken on our website (e.g. clicked on certain pages, made purchases, etc.). Matomo uses technologies (such as cookies or fingerprinting systems) to recognise visitors on repeat visits to our website. The information collected by Matomo about the use of this website is stored on our server. Your IP address is anonymised before it is saved.

Legal basis

Personal data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in analysing website usage in order to optimise our online presence and offers.

IP anonymisation

When using Matomo on this website, we use a function that shortens your IP address before analysing it. This means that it can no longer be clearly assigned to you.

Hosting

The data collected by the analysis is not passed on to third parties, as we host Matomo exclusively on our own servers.
