Privacy Policy
Personal data (hereinafter mostly referred to as “data”) is processed by us only to the extent necessary and for the purpose of providing a functional and user-friendly website, including its contents and the services offered there.
According to Art. 4 No. 1 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, i.e., the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as “GDPR”), “processing” means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
With the following privacy policy, we inform you in particular about the type, scope, purpose, duration, and legal basis of the processing of personal data, insofar as we either alone or jointly with others determine the purposes and means of the processing. In addition, we inform you below about the third-party components we use for optimization purposes and to increase the quality of use, insofar as third parties process data in their own responsibility.
Our privacy policy is structured as follows:

II. Rights of Users and Data Subjects
With regard to the data processing described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right
- to confirmation of whether data concerning them is being processed, information about the data being processed, further information about the nature of the data processing, and copies of the data (cf. also Art. 15 GDPR);
- to correct or complete incorrect or incomplete data (cf. also Art. 16 GDPR);
- to the immediate deletion of data concerning them (cf. also Art. 17 GDPR), or, alternatively, if further processing is necessary as stipulated in Art. 17 Para. 3 GDPR, to restrict said processing per Art. 18 GDPR;
- to receive copies of the data concerning them and/or provided by them and to have the same transmitted to other providers/controllers (cf. also Art. 20 GDPR);
- to file complaints with the supervisory authority if they believe that data concerning them is being processed by the controller in breach of data protection provisions (see also Art. 77 GDPR).
In addition, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom it discloses data of any such corrections, deletions, or restrictions placed on processing the same per Art. 16, 17 Para. 1, 18 GDPR. However, this obligation does not apply if such notification is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Nevertheless, users have a right to information about these recipients.
Likewise, under Art. 21 GDPR, users and data subjects have the right to object to the controller’s future processing of their data pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising is permissible.
III. Information on Data Processing
Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for its storage ceases to apply, provided the deletion of the same is not in breach of any statutory storage obligations or unless otherwise stipulated below.
Cookie Manager
To obtain consent for the use of technically non-essential cookies on the website, the provider uses a cookie manager.
When accessing the website, a cookie with the settings information is stored on the user’s device so that the query regarding consent does not have to be made on subsequent visits.
The cookie is necessary to obtain legally compliant consent from the user.
The user can prevent or terminate the installation of cookies through settings in their browser.
Cookies
A) Session Cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are placed and stored on your end device by the internet browser you use. Through these cookies, certain information about you, such as your browser or location data or your IP address, is processed to a limited extent.
This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure, as it enables, for example, the display of our website in different languages or the offer of a shopping cart function.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit b.) GDPR, insofar as these cookies process data for the initiation or processing of contracts.
If the processing does not serve the initiation or processing of contracts, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
These session cookies are deleted when you close your internet browser.
B) Third-party Cookies
If applicable, cookies from partner companies with whom we cooperate for the purposes of advertising, analysis, or the functionalities of our website may also be used with our website.
Please refer to the following information for details on this, particularly regarding the purposes and legal bases for processing such third-party cookies.
C) Removal Option
You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by setting your internet browser. You can also delete previously stored cookies at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on your specific internet browser. If you have questions, please use the help function or documentation of your internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. For so-called Flash cookies, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the setting of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on your specific Flash player. If you have questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Flash player or contact the manufacturer or user support.
However, if you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may result in not all functions of our website being fully usable.
Contact Requests / Contact Options
If you contact us via contact form or email, the data you provide will be used to process your request. Providing the data is necessary to process and respond to your inquiry – without providing it, we cannot respond to your inquiry or can only do so to a limited extent.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
Your data will be deleted if your inquiry has been conclusively answered and there are no legal retention obligations to prevent deletion, such as in the case of any subsequent contract processing.
Online Job Applications / Publication of Job Advertisements
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us via our website. For these digital applications, we electronically collect and process your applicant and application data for the purpose of handling the application process.
The legal basis for this processing is § 26 Para. 1 S. 1 BDSG in conjunction with Art. 88 Para. 1 GDPR.
If an employment contract is concluded after the application process, we store the data you submitted during the application in your personnel file for the purpose of the usual organizational and administrative process – of course, in compliance with further legal obligations.
The legal basis for this processing is also § 26 Para. 1 S. 1 BDSG in conjunction with Art. 88 Para. 1 GDPR.
If an application is rejected, we automatically delete the data transmitted to us two months after notification of the rejection. However, deletion does not occur if the data requires longer storage due to legal provisions, e.g., due to burden of proof obligations under the AGG, for up to four months or until the conclusion of a possible legal proceeding.
The legal basis in this case is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR and § 24 Para. 1 No. 2 BDSG. Our legitimate interest lies in legal defense or enforcement.
If you explicitly consent to longer storage of your data, e.g., for inclusion in an applicant or interested party database, the data will be further processed based on your consent. The legal basis is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. Of course, you can revoke your consent at any time according to Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR by declaration to us with effect for the future.
Server Data
For technical reasons, particularly to ensure a secure and stable internet presence, data is transmitted by your internet browser to us or to our webspace provider. With these so-called server log files, we collect, among other things, the type and version of your internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you switched to our internet presence (referrer URL), the website(s) of our internet presence that you visit, date and time of the respective access, as well as the IP address of the internet connection from which the use of our internet presence takes place.
This collected data is temporarily stored, but not together with other data from you.
This storage takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality, and security of our internet presence.
The data will be deleted after seven days at the latest, unless further storage is required for evidentiary purposes. Otherwise, the data is partially or completely exempt from deletion until final clarification of an incident.
