General Information and Mandatory Notices

Data Protection

The operators of this site take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We handle your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data refers to data that can personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this occurs.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.


Storage Duration

Unless a specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing ceases. If you make a legitimate deletion request or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion occurs after these reasons cease to apply.

Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data according to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. If explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries has been given, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

If your data is required to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal bases in each case are detailed in the following sections of this privacy policy.


Notice Regarding Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries

We use tools from companies based in the USA or other data protection non-secure third countries. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We point out that these countries may not guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. For example, US companies are obligated to disclose personal data to security authorities without allowing you to take legal action against it. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) process, evaluate, and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.


Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

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

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

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASES 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 REASONS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING AT ANY TIME; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER 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, workplace, or the location of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists regardless of any 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 commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Access, Deletion, and Correction

Within the scope of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, as well as the right to correct or delete this data if necessary. You can contact us at any time for this or other questions regarding personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to request this. 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 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 them 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 objected pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. As long as it is not yet 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, these data – apart from being stored – 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 applications or inquiries you send to us as the site operator. An encrypted connection is indicated when the browser’s address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser’s address bar.

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

Objection to Promotional Emails

The use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby prohibited. The operators of this site expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information being sent, such as spam emails.


Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

Our websites use cookies. Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either temporarily stored for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently stored on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain on your device until you delete them or an automatic deletion is performed by your web browser.

Cookies can be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of specific services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for payment service processing).

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

Cookies that are required for the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you requested (e.g., shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web traffic) are stored based on 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 for storing cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing will be based exclusively on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

The specific cookies and services used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

Contract Processing

We have concluded a contract processing agreement (AVV) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract required under data protection law, which ensures that the processor processes the personal data of our website visitors only according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Server Log Files

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

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

These data are not merged 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, the server log files must be recorded.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for any follow-up questions. We do not share 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, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling 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 deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after processing your inquiry is completed). Mandatory statutory provisions – particularly retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiries via Email, Phone, or Fax

If you contact us via email, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data arising from it (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 request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling 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 sent to us via contact requests remains with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after processing your request is completed). Mandatory statutory provisions – particularly legal retention periods – remain unaffected.

Social Media

This website does not use any plugins for social media platforms.

Plugins and Tools

Google Fonts (Local Hosting)

This site uses Google Fonts to ensure uniform font display. Google Fonts are installed locally, and no connection to Google’s servers occurs.

Processing of Customer and Contract Data

We collect, process, and use personal customer and contract data to establish, structure, and modify our contractual relationships. Personal data related to the use of this website (usage data) is collected, processed, and used only to the extent necessary to enable the user to utilize the service. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

The collected customer data will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship and after the expiration of any statutory retention periods. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Own Services

Handling of Applicant Data

We offer you the opportunity to apply with us (e.g., via email, postal mail, or online application form). The following section provides information on the scope, purpose, and usage of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data comply with applicable data protection laws and all other legal 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 associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, interview notes, etc.) as necessary to decide on establishing an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 BDSG under German law (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 can be revoked at any time. Within our company, your personal data is only shared with persons involved in processing your application.

If your application is successful, the data you provided will be stored in our data processing systems based on Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR to carry out the employment relationship.

Data Retention Period

If we cannot offer you a position, you reject an offer, or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to store the data you have provided based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months after the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). After this period, the data will be deleted, and physical application documents will be destroyed. Retention serves in particular as evidence in case of a legal dispute. If it is foreseeable that the data will still be required after the 6-month period (e.g., due to a pending or expected legal dispute), deletion will only occur when the purpose for continued storage no longer applies.

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

Your Rights

You have the right at any time to obtain free information about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to object, request data portability, and lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. Additionally, you can request the correction, blocking, deletion, or, under certain circumstances, the restriction of processing of your personal data.
