privacy policy
Personal data (hereinafter mostly referred to as ‘data’) is only processed by us to the extent necessary and for the purpose of providing a functional and user-friendly website, including its content and the services offered there.
According to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, i.e. the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as ‘GDPR’), ‘processing’ means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
With the following privacy policy, we inform you in particular about the type, scope, purpose, duration and legal basis of the processing of personal data, insofar as we decide either alone or together with others on the purposes and means of processing. In addition, we inform you below about the third-party components we use for optimization purposes and to increase the quality of use, insofar as third parties process data under their own responsibility.
Our privacy policy is structured as follows:

II. Rights of users and affected parties
With regard to the data processing described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right to
- to confirmation as to whether data concerning them is being processed, to information about the processed data, to further information about the data processing and to copies of the data (cf. also Art. 15 GDPR);
- to rectification or completion of incorrect or incomplete data (see also Art. 16 GDPR);
- to the immediate erasure of the data concerning them (see also Art. 17 GDPR) or, alternatively, if further processing is required in accordance with Art. 17 (3) GDPR, to the restriction of processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR;
- to receive the data concerning them and provided by them and to transfer this data to other providers/controllers (cf. also Art. 20 GDPR);
- to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority if they are of the opinion that the data concerning them is being processed by the provider in breach of data protection regulations (see also Art. 77 GDPR).
In addition, the provider is obliged to inform all recipients to whom data has been disclosed by the provider of any rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing carried out on the basis of Articles 16, 17 (1), 18 GDPR. However, this obligation does not apply if this notification is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Notwithstanding this, the user has a right to information about these recipients.
Users and data subjects also have the right to object to the future processing of data concerning them in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR, provided that the data is processed by the provider in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising is permitted.
III. Information on data processing
Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies, the deletion of the data does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations and no other information is provided below on individual processing procedures.
Cookie Manager
The provider uses a cookie manager to obtain consent for the use of technically unnecessary cookies on the website.
When the website is opened, a cookie with the setting information is stored on the user’s end device so that the request for consent does not have to be made on a subsequent visit.
The cookie is required to obtain the user’s legally compliant consent.
The user can prevent or stop the installation of cookies by changing the settings in their browser.
Cookies
a) Session-Cookies
We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are placed and stored on your end device by the Internet browser you use. These cookies process certain information from you, such as your browser or location data or your IP address, to an individual extent.
This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective and secure, as the processing enables, for example, the reproduction of our website in different languages or the offer of a shopping cart function.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b.) GDPR, insofar as these cookies process data for contract initiation or contract fulfilment.
If the processing does not serve to initiate or execute a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
These session cookies are deleted when you close your Internet browser.
b) Third-party cookies
Our website may also use cookies from partner companies with whom we work for the purposes of advertising, analysing or the functionalities of our website.
Please refer to the following information for details, in particular the purposes and legal basis for processing such third-party cookies.
c) Possibility of elimination
You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by changing the settings of your Internet browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on the specific Internet browser you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. In the case of so-called Flash cookies, however, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the specific Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please also use the help function or documentation of your Flash player or contact the manufacturer or user support.
However, if you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all functions of our website can be used to their full extent.
Contact enquiries / contact option
If you contact us via contact form or e-mail, the data you provide will be used to process your request. The provision of the data is necessary for processing and answering your inquiry – without it we cannot answer your inquiry or can only answer it to a limited extent.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
Your data will be deleted if your request has been conclusively answered and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations, such as in the case of any subsequent contract processing.
Online job applications / publication of job adverts
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us via our website. For these digital applications, we collect and process your applicant and application data electronically to handle the application process.
The legal basis for this processing is Section 26 (1) sentence 1 BDSG in conjunction with Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR.
If an employment contract is concluded after the application process, we will store the data you submitted in your application in your personnel file for the purpose of the usual organisational and administrative process – naturally in compliance with further legal obligations.
The legal basis for this processing is also Section 26 (1) sentence 1 BDSG in conjunction with Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR.
If an application is rejected, we automatically delete the data transmitted to us two months after notification of the rejection. However, the data will not be deleted if the data requires longer storage of up to four months or until the conclusion of legal proceedings due to legal provisions, e.g. due to the burden of proof under the AGG.
The legal basis in this case is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR and Section 24 para. 1 no. 2 BDSG. Our legitimate interest lies in legal defense and enforcement.
If you expressly consent to your data being stored for a longer period of time, e.g. for your inclusion in a database of applicants or interested parties, the data will be processed further on the basis of your consent. The legal basis is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. However, you can of course revoke your consent at any time in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR by making a declaration to us with effect for the future.
Server data
For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable Internet presence, data is transmitted to us or to our web space provider by your Internet browser. With these so-called server log files, the type and version of your Internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you have switched to our Internet presence (referrer URL), the website(s) of our Internet presence that you visit, the date and time of the respective access and the IP address of the Internet connection from which the use of our Internet presence takes place are collected, among other things.
The data collected in this way is stored temporarily, but not together with other data from you.
This storage takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our website.
The data will be deleted after seven days at the latest, unless further storage is required for evidence purposes. Otherwise, all or part of the data will be exempt from deletion until the incident has been finally clarified.
