The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is any data by which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage Period

Unless a more specific storage period has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you make a justified request for deletion 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. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing 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, if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9(1) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information in your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

If your data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing can also be based on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal basis in each individual case is explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, the transfer of personal data to these external parties is necessary. We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is required for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g. data transfer to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using processors, we only share personal data of our customers based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the point of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

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 AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA, INCLUDING PROFILING BASED ON THOSE 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 PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT 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 SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO 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, place of work, or the 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 receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a common, machine-readable format, either for yourself or for a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done if technically feasible.

Right to Access, Rectification, and Erasure

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to request free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing. You may also have a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions regarding 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 regarding this. The right to restriction of 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 verification process, 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 may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense 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 to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests must be carried out between your interests and ours. 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, such 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

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content—such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator—this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser’s address line from “http://” to “https://” and the lock icon in your browser bar.

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

Objection to Promotional Emails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and informational material. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

They are either stored 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 device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.

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

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies, processing is based exclusively on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); the consent can be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

7. Our Own Services

Handling of Applicant Data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, postal mail, or via an online application form). Below we explain the scope, purpose, and use of the personal data we collect as part of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data complies with applicable data protection laws and all other legal provisions, and that your data will be treated as strictly confidential.

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection

When you submit an application to us, we process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes from interviews, etc.), to the extent that this is necessary for the decision on establishing an employment relationship. The legal basis is § 26 BDSG (German Federal Data Protection Act) 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. Your data is shared within our company only with persons involved in processing your application.

If your application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems based on § 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of executing the employment relationship.

Data Retention Period

If we are unable to offer you a position, you reject an offer, or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you submitted for up to 6 months following the end of the application process based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The data will then be deleted, and any physical application documents destroyed. The retention serves as evidence in case of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period (e.g. due to pending litigation), the data will only be deleted once it is no longer needed for this purpose.

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

Inclusion in the Applicant Pool

If we do not offer you a position, there may be an opportunity to include you in our applicant pool. If accepted, all documents and data from your application will be stored in the applicant pool so that we can contact you if a suitable vacancy arises.

Inclusion in the applicant pool is based solely on your express consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Giving consent is voluntary and unrelated to the current application process. You can revoke your consent at any time. In that case, your data will be permanently deleted from the applicant pool, unless legal retention obligations apply.

Data in the applicant pool is deleted no later than two years after consent is granted.
