The protection of your privacy when processing personal data is an important concern for us. When you visit our website, our web servers store the IP of your Internet service provider, the website from which you visit us, the web pages you visit on our site, and the date and duration of your visit as standard. This information is absolutely necessary for the technical transmission of the web pages and secure server operation. A personalized evaluation of this data does not take place.

Personal data

Personal data is data about your person. This includes your name, address and email address. You do not have to disclose any personal data to visit our website. In some cases we need your name and address as well as other information to be able to offer you the service you requested.

The same applies in the case that we supply you with information material on request or when we answer your inquiries. In addition, we only store the data that you have transmitted to us automatically or voluntarily.

When you use one of our services, we usually only collect the data that is necessary to provide you with our service. We may ask you for additional information, but this is voluntary. Whenever we process personal data, we do so to provide you with our service or to pursue our commercial objectives.

Contact

When contacting us (e.g. via contact form, email, telephone or via social media), the information of the inquiring persons is processed to the extent necessary to respond to the contact requests and any requested actions.

The response to the contact inquiries in the context of contractual or pre-contractual relationships is carried out to fulfill our contractual obligations or to respond to (pre)contractual inquiries and otherwise on the basis of legitimate interests in responding to the inquiries.

  • Types of data processed: inventory data (e.g. names, addresses), contact data (e.g. e-mail, telephone numbers), content data (e.g. entries in online forms).
  • Data subjects: Communication partners.
  • Purposes of processing: contact requests and communication.
  • Legal basis: contract performance and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. GDPR), Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR).

Automatically stored data

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

  • Date and time of the request
  • Name of the requested file
  • Page from which the file was requested
  • access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)
  • Web browser and operating system used
  • complete IP address of the requesting computer
  • amount of data transferred

This data is not merged with other data sources. The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.

Security

We have implemented technical and administrative security measures to protect your personal data against loss, destruction, manipulation and unauthorized access. All our employees as well as service providers working for us are bound by the applicable data protection laws.

Whenever we collect and process personal data, it is encrypted before it is transmitted. This means that your data cannot be misused by third parties. Our security measures are subject to a continuous improvement process and our data protection statements are constantly being revised. Please make sure that you have the latest version.

Data subject rights

You have a right to information, correction, deletion or restriction of the processing of your stored data at any time, a right to object to the processing as well as a right to data portability and to lodge a complaint in accordance with the requirements of data protection law.

Right to information:

You can request information from us as to whether and to what extent we process your data.

Right to rectification:

If we process your data that is incomplete or incorrect, you can request that we correct or complete it at any time.

Right to erasure:

You may request that we delete your data if we process it unlawfully or if the processing disproportionately interferes with your legitimate interests in protection. Please note that there may be reasons that prevent immediate deletion, e.g. in the case of legally regulated retention obligations.

Irrespective of the exercise of your right to deletion, we will delete your data immediately and completely, insofar as there is no legal or statutory obligation to retain data in this respect.

Right to restriction of processing:

You may request us to restrict the processing of your data if

  • you dispute the accuracy of the data, for a period of time that allows us to verify the accuracy of the data.
  • the processing of the data is unlawful, but you refuse erasure and request restriction of data use instead,
  • we no longer need the data for the intended purpose, but you still need this data to assert or defend legal claims, or
  • you have objected to the processing of the data.

Right to data portability:

You may request that we provide you with your data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format and that you may transfer this data to another controller without hindrance from us, provided that

  • we process this data on the basis of a revocable consent given by you or for the performance of a contract between us, and
  • this processing is carried out with the aid of automated procedures.

If technically feasible, you may request us to transfer your data directly to another controller.

Right to object:

If we process your data for legitimate interest, you may object to this data processing at any time; this would also apply to profiling based on these provisions. We will then no longer process your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. You may object to the processing of your data for the purpose of direct marketing at any time without giving reasons.

Right of complaint:

If you are of the opinion that we violate German or European data protection law when processing your data, please contact us to clarify any questions. Of course, you also have the right to contact the supervisory authority responsible for you, the respective state office for data protection supervision.

If you wish to assert any of the aforementioned rights against us, please contact our data protection officer. In case of doubt, we may request additional information to confirm your identity.

Changes to this data protection statement

We reserve the right to change our privacy policy if necessary due to new technologies. Please make sure that you have the most current version. If fundamental changes are made to this privacy statement, we will announce them on our website.

Cookies

When you visit our website, we may store information on your computer in the form of cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID.
By using session cookies, the controller can provide users of this website with a user-friendly service that would not be possible without the use of cookies. Without consent, we only use technically necessary cookies on the legal basis of legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Vimeo without tracking (Do-Not-Track) 

This website uses plugins from the video portal Vimeo. The provider is Vimeo Inc, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA. 

When you visit one of our pages equipped with Vimeo videos, a connection to the Vimeo servers is established. This tells the Vimeo server which of our pages you have visited. Vimeo also obtains your IP address. However, we have configured Vimeo so that Vimeo will not track your user activities and will not set any cookies. 

The use of Vimeo is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission and, according to Vimeo, on “legitimate business interests”.

Further information on the handling of user data can be found in Vimeo’s privacy policy at: https://vimeo.com/privacy

Online presence on X (formerly Twitter) and LinkedIn 

Insofar as you have given your consent to the respective social media operator in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, your data will be automatically collected and stored for market research and advertising purposes when you visit our online presences on the social media mentioned above, from which user profiles are created using pseudonyms. These can be used, for example, to place adverts within and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to your interests. Cookies are generally used for this purpose. For detailed information on the processing and use of data by the respective social media operator as well as a contact option and your rights and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the providers’ data protection notices linked below. If you still need help in this regard, you can contact us.

 If we use a service provider in the sense of a data processor, we nevertheless remain responsible for the protection of your data. All data processors are contractually obligated to treat your data confidentially and to process it only in the context of providing the service. The processors we commission receive your data insofar as they require the data to fulfil their respective service. These are, for example, IT service providers that we require for the operation and security of our IT system as well as advertising and address publishers for their own advertising campaigns.

In the event of a legal obligation and in the context of legal prosecution, authorities and courts as well as external auditors may be recipients of your data.

How long will my data be stored?

We process your data until the termination of the business relationship or until the expiry of the applicable statutory retention periods (such as from the German Commercial Code, the German Fiscal Code, or the German Working Hours Act); furthermore, until the termination of any legal disputes in which the data is required as evidence.

Are personal data transferred to a third country?

Which data are processed and from which sources do these data originate?

The required data includes, in particular, your master data (especially first and last name, name affixes, nationality), your contact data (especially private address, mobile and landline number, email address), other data from the employment relationship, such as time recording data, vacation periods, periods of incapacity to work, skill data, social data, bank details, social security number, pension insurance number, salary data, tax identification number, special health data and, if applicable, criminal records) as well as log data that accrue when using the IT systems.

Within our company, your personal data will only be disclosed to those persons who need it to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations, such as the HR department, the accounting department or the specialist department.

Are personal data transferred to a third country?

If we transfer personal data to service providers or group companies outside the European Economic Area (EEA), the transfer will only take place if the third country has been confirmed by the EU Commission to have an adequate level of data protection or if other appropriate data protection guarantees (e.g., binding internal company data protection regulations or EU standard contractual clauses) are in place.

For what purposes and on what legal basis are the data processed?

We process your personal data in compliance with all applicable laws, such as the GDPR, the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), the Working Hours Act, etc. 

Primarily, the data processing serves the purpose of establishing, implementing and terminating the employment relationship. The relevant legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 para, 1 BDSG. Section 26 para. 4 BDSG as well as, if applicable, your separate consents pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 a), 7 GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 (2) BDSG (e.g. in the case of video recordings) may be used as a data protection permission provision.

Where necessary, we also process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. (1) f) GDPR in order to protect the legitimate interests of us or of third parties (e.g. public authorities). This applies in particular to the investigation of criminal acts (legal basis Section 26 (1) sentence 2 BDSG) or within the Group for purposes of Group management, internal communication and other administrative purposes. 

Insofar as special categories of personal data are processed in accordance with Art. 9 (1) GDPR, this serves the exercise of rights or the fulfilment of legal obligations from labour law, social security law and social protection within the framework of the employment relationship (e.g. disclosure of health data to the health insurance fund, recording of severe disability due to additional leave and determination of the severe disability levy). This is done on the basis of Art. 9 para. 2 b) GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 (3) BDSG. In addition, the processing of health data for the assessment of your ability to work pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 h) in conjunction with Section 22 para. 1 b) BDSG may be necessary.

If we want to process your personal data for a purpose not mentioned above, we will inform you in advance. 

How long will my data be stored?

If your job application is rejected, the data you submitted will be deleted six months after notification of the rejection. This does not apply if longer storage is necessary due to legal requirements (for example, the duty of proof under the General Equal Treatment Act) or if you have expressly consented to longer storage in our database of interested parties. 

The storage period of the collected data is limited to the employment relationship. We delete your personal data as soon as they are no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes.
