General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR where special categories of data pursuant to Article 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing also takes place on the basis of Article 49(1)(a) GDPR.

Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Where your data is required for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. We also process your data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. Processing may further take place on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legal bases relevant in each individual case are set out in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

In the course of our business activities we work with various external parties. In some cases this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only pass personal data to external parties where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so (for example passing data to tax authorities), where we have a legitimate interest in the transfer pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the transfer. Where processors are used, we pass on our customers' personal data only on the basis of 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 express consent. You may withdraw consent already given at any time. The lawfulness of processing carried out up to the point of withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to object to data collection in particular cases and to direct marketing (Article 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING TAKES PLACE ON THE BASIS OF ARTICLE 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; 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 THE PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED 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 DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSES OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING IN SO FAR AS IT IS CONNECTED WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

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 breach. This right to complain exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place where it is technically feasible.

Information, correction and deletion

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing, and where applicable a right to have this data corrected or deleted. You can contact us at any time about this and about any other questions concerning 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 about this at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data we hold about you, we generally 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 or is unlawful, you may request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data but you require it for the exercise, defence or establishment of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not been established 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, this data may, apart from being stored, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

SSL and TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the browser address line changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.

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

Our web pages use cookies. Cookies are small data packets and do no harm to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are deleted automatically at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.

Cookies may come from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies make it possible to integrate certain services of third-party companies within web pages (for example cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, because certain website functions would not work without them (for example the shopping basket function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you have requested (for example the shopping basket function) or to optimise the website (for example cookies for measuring the web audience) are necessary cookies and are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is stated. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Where consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of that consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and section 25(1) TDDDG); consent may be withdrawn at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Where further cookies and services are used on this website, you will find information about them in this privacy policy.

Mandatory statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.

The Usercentrics banner on this website was configured with the help of eRecht24. You can recognise this by the eRecht24 logo appearing in the banner. In order to display the eRecht24 logo in the banner, a connection to eRecht24's image server is established. The IP address is also transmitted in the process, but is stored in the server logs only in anonymised form. eRecht24's image server is located in Germany with a German provider. The banner itself is provided exclusively by Usercentrics.

Usercentrics is used in order to obtain the legally required consents for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.

YouTube with enhanced privacy

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

When you visit a page on which YouTube is embedded, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. The YouTube server is thereby informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behaviour directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, videos played in enhanced privacy mode are not used to personalise browsing on YouTube. Advertisements shown in enhanced privacy mode are likewise not personalised. In enhanced privacy mode no cookies are set. Instead, local storage elements are stored in the user's browser which, like cookies, may contain personal data and can be used for recognition. Details on enhanced privacy mode can be found here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780.

After a YouTube video has been activated, further data processing operations may be triggered over which we have no influence.

YouTube is used in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offering. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and section 25(1) TDDDG, in so far as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (for example device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.

Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

This site uses the Google Maps mapping service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This service allows us to embed maps on our website.

In order to use the functions of Google Maps it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer. When Google Maps is active, Google may use Google Fonts for the uniform display of typefaces. When Google Maps is called up, your browser loads the required web fonts into its cache in order to display text and typefaces correctly.

Google Maps is used in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offering and to make the locations we state on the website easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and section 25(1) TDDDG, in so far as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (for example device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG.

7. E-commerce and payment providers

Processing of customer and contract data

We collect, process and use personal customer and contract data for the establishment, content and amendment of our contractual relationships. We collect, process and use personal data about the use of this website (usage data) only in so far as this is necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill for it. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

The customer data collected is deleted once the order has been completed or the business relationship has ended and any statutory retention periods have expired. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

8. Our own services

Handling of applicant data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (for example by email, by post or via an online application form). Below we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of the personal data collected in the course of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data takes place in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions, and that your data is treated in strict confidence.

Scope and purpose of data collection

If you send us an application, we process the associated personal data (for example contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews) in so far as this is necessary for the decision on establishing an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (initiation of an employment relationship), Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (general pre-contractual measures) and, where you have given consent, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Within our company, your personal data is passed on only to those persons involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data you have submitted is stored in our data processing systems on the basis of section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act and Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

As part of the application procedure we may also carry out an internet search about you. This mainly covers Google search, LinkedIn and Xing. The legal basis for this type of processing is our legitimate interest in forming an overall impression from publicly available information about you pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Data retention period

If we are unable to offer you a position, if you decline an offer or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to six months from the end of the application procedure (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data is then deleted and physical application documents are destroyed. Retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of legal proceedings. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the six-month period has expired (for example because of imminent or pending legal proceedings), deletion takes place only once the purpose for the continued retention no longer applies.

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