General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing on this Website

If you have given your consent 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 are processed according to Art. 9(1) GDPR. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR.

The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of 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 based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out based on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal bases for data processing in each individual case are provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external entities. In some cases, the transmission of personal data to these external entities is necessary. We only pass on personal data to external entities if it is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in the transfer, or if another legal basis allows the data transfer. When using data processors, we only pass on 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.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have 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, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO 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 WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INsofar AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING.

In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data which we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract automatically delivered to yourself or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing at any time. You may also have the right to correct or delete this data. For these and any other questions about personal data, you can contact us at any time.

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 for this purpose. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, 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 for the exercise, defense, or assertion of 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, an assessment must be made of your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests outweigh the other, 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, except for their storage, these data may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, 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

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the address line of the browser 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 promotional emails

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

Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either temporarily stored for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or automatic deletion by your web browser occurs.

Cookies can be set by us (first-party cookies) or come from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable certain services from third-party companies to be integrated within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

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

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, the provision of certain functions you request (e.g., the shopping cart function), or for the optimization of 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 error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser settings so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, accept cookies for specific cases, or generally exclude them and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

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

Contact form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details 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 the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on 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 the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data entered by you in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer applies (e.g., after processing of your inquiry is completed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry via Email, Telephone, or Fax

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

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided your inquiry is related to the performance 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 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 you send us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer exists (e.g., after processing your request is completed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

4. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected or is collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered into the newsletter subscription form occurs exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). The consent given to store the data, the email address, and their use for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time, for instance via the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or the purpose for the data storage no longer applies. After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in compliance with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to this storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

The controller responsible for the processing has integrated components of LinkedIn Corporation on this website. LinkedIn is an internet-based social network that enables users to connect with existing business contacts and establish new business contacts. Over 400 million registered individuals use LinkedIn in more than 200 countries. Therefore, LinkedIn is currently the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites in the world.

The operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. For data protection matters outside the United States, LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible.

Each time our website is accessed, which contains a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plug-in), this component causes the browser used by the data subject to download a corresponding display of the LinkedIn component. Further information about LinkedIn plug-ins can be found at https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. As part of this technical process, LinkedIn is made aware of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to LinkedIn at the same time, LinkedIn recognizes with each visit to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our website which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the LinkedIn component and assigned by LinkedIn to the respective LinkedIn account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on an integrated LinkedIn button on our website, LinkedIn assigns this information to the personal LinkedIn user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

LinkedIn receives information through the LinkedIn component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged in to LinkedIn at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the LinkedIn component or not. If such transmission of this information to LinkedIn by the data subject is not desired, the data subject can prevent this by logging out of their LinkedIn account before accessing our website.

LinkedIn offers the possibility to unsubscribe from email messages, SMS messages, and targeted ads, as well as manage ad settings at https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls. LinkedIn also uses partners such as Quantcast, Google Analytics, BlueKai, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Comscore, Eloqua, and Lotame, which may set cookies. Such cookies can be rejected at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy. The applicable privacy policy of LinkedIn is available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy. LinkedIn’s cookie policy can be found at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy.

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or statistical tools and other technologies on our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies, or conduct independent analyses. It is solely used for managing and deploying the tools integrated through it. However, Google Tag Manager collects your IP address, which can also be transferred to Google’s parent company in the United States.

The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in quick and uncomplicated integration and management of various tools on their website. If appropriate consent has been requested, processing is based exclusively on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

Google Analytics

The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis involves the collection, compilation, and evaluation of data on the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects data, including the referrer, i.e., the website from which a data subject accessed another website, the accessed subpages, the frequency and duration of page views. Web analysis is primarily used to optimize a website and analyze the cost-effectiveness of internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The data controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis via Google Analytics. This addition ensures the IP address of the data subject is truncated and anonymized by Google if access to our website is from a member state of the European Union or another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor traffic on our website. Google uses the data obtained to evaluate the use of our website, compile online reports showing activities on our websites, and provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. Cookies were explained earlier. By setting the cookie, Google enables an analysis of the use of our website. Each time a single page of our website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component is integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject’s IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data for online analysis to Google. As part of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.

The cookie stores personal information such as access time, the location from which access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Each time our websites are visited, this personal data, including the IP address used by the data subject’s internet connection, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. Google stores this personal data collected through the technical process in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the placement of cookies on our website as described earlier by configuring their internet browser settings and thereby object to the permanent placement of cookies. Such browser settings would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. Additionally, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics related to the use of our website and its processing by Google. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on using the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics through JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites should be transmitted to Google Analytics. Google considers the installation of the browser add-on as an objection. If the data subject’s IT system is later deleted, formatted, or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within their sphere of control, the browser add-on can be reinstalled or reactivated.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is further explained at this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

YouTube

This website embeds videos from the YouTube website. The operator of this website is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Fonts

This site uses Google Fonts provided by Google to display fonts uniformly. When a page is accessed, your browser loads the required fonts into your browser cache to display text and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you use must establish a connection to Google’s servers. Google thus becomes aware that our website was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Fonts is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in presenting the typeface consistently on its website. If appropriate consent has been obtained, processing is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) as defined by TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

If your browser does not support Google Fonts, a standard font will be used from your computer.

More information about Google Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

Google Maps

This site uses the Google Maps mapping service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

To use the features of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission. When Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Fonts for the purpose of displaying text fonts. When you access Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of presenting our online offerings appealingly and making it easy to find the locations we indicate on the website. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If appropriate consent has been obtained, processing is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) as defined by TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/ and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/sccs/.

For more information on how user data is handled, please refer to Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

6. Data Protection for Applications and in the Application Process

The data controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application process. Processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents electronically, for example, by email or via a web form on the website to the data controller. If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded between the data controller and the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after the announcement of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the data controller oppose such deletion. Other legitimate interests in this sense could be, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
