Storage period

Unless a specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have any 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 cease to apply.

The following paragraphs of this privacy policy provide information on the relevant legal bases in each individual case.

Recipients of personal data

As part of our business activities, we work together with various external agencies. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external bodies. We only transfer personal data to external parties if this is necessary as part of contract performance, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer of data in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, or if another legal basis allows the transfer of data. When using contract processors, we only share our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid contract for order processing.

In the event of violations 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 place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to yourself or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another person responsible, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

4. Data collection on this website

cookies

Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies can come from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies make it possible to integrate certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies to process payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions requested by you (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is provided. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG); consent can be withdrawn at any time.

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

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

Usercentrics consent

This website uses Usercentrics' consent technology to obtain your consent to store certain cookies on your device or to use certain technologies and to document this in accordance with data protection regulations. The provider of this technology is Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Strasse 7, 80331 Munich, website: https://usercentrics.com/de/ (hereafter “Usercentrics”).

When you enter our website, the following personal data is transferred to Usercentrics:

Usercentrics also stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to assign the consents given or their revocation to you. The data collected in this way is stored until you ask us to delete it, delete the Usercentrics cookie yourself, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory legal storage obligations remain unaffected.

The Usercentrics banner on this website was configured using eRecht24. You can tell by the fact that the eRecht24 logo appears in the banner. In order to display the eRecht24 logo in the banner, a connection to the eRecht24 image server is established. This also transfers the IP address, which, however, is only stored in anonymous form in the server logs. The eRecht24 image server is located in Germany by a German provider. The banner itself is provided exclusively by Usercentrics.

Usercentrics is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

This data is processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed).

This data is processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed).

It is only used to manage and play out the tools integrated via it. However, Google Tag Manager collects your IP address, which can also be transferred to Google's parent company in the United States.

Google Tag Manager is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in quickly and easily integrating and managing various tools on his website.

We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, videos that are played in extended data protection mode are not used to personalize browsing on YouTube. Ads that are displayed in extended data protection mode are also not personalized. No cookies are set in extended data protection mode. Instead, however, so-called local storage elements are stored in the user's browser, which contain personal data similar to cookies and can be used for recognition. Details about extended data protection mode can be found here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780.

After activating a YouTube video, further data processing processes may be triggered over which we have no influence.

7. Own services

Handling applicant data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by e-mail, post or via online application form). In the following, we will inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure that your data will be collected, processed and used in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal regulations and that your data will be kept strictly confidential.

Scope and purpose of data collection

When you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes during job interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide whether to establish an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO (general contract initiation) and — if you have given consent — Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The consent can be withdrawn at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be shared with people who are involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data you submit will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

Data storage period

If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to store the data you have provided with us for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application) on the basis of our legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR). The data is then deleted and the physical application documents are destroyed. In particular, storage serves as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period has elapsed (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will only be deleted when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.

Longer storage may also take place if you have given appropriate consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if legal storage obligations preclude deletion.
