Data security

We maintain technical and organizational security measures to protect any personal data that is processed. In particular, these measures protect against accidental or deliberate manipulation, loss, destruction or attacks by unauthorized persons. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments. The transmission of your personal data is encrypted using SSL technology (https) to prevent access by unauthorized third parties.

Communication by e-mail

This means that your e-mail can generally be transmitted in an encrypted form. Please note, however, that encryption also depends on the configuration of your e-mail program and that we therefore cannot guarantee complete data security for the transfer of your e-mail.

For information requiring a high level of confidentiality, we recommend that you send it by post.

Collection and use of your data

The scope and type of data collection as well as the use of your personal data will differ depending on whether you visit our website only to retrieve information or whether you use any services offered on our website.
We will inform you in detail if we decide to use other (IT-) service providers for individual functions of our services or if we wish to use your data for advertising purposes. We will also state concrete criteria for the duration of the data storage and the respective legal basis for the data processing.

Informational use
During the informational use of our website, we only collect personal data that is automatically transmitted to us by your browser, such as:

  • the page from which the file was requested,
  • the name of the file,
  • the date and time of the request,
  • the amount of data transferred,
  • the access status (file transferred, file not found),
  • the description of the type of browser used,
  • the IP address of the requesting computer, which is shortened so that a personal reference can no longer be established.

Storage period:

  • Storage period for log files: max. 7 days

Legal basis for data processing:
The data mentioned above are technically necessary to display our website on your device and to ensure stability and security. This is done in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f GDPR.

Cookies

We are using so-called cookies on our websites. These are small text files that are stored on your electronic device. The content of these files can be read and used. A distinction is made between session cookies (non-persistent cookies) and persistent cookies. Session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your browser. Persistent cookies are stored beyond one session. Cookies may contain data that allows the recognition of electronic devices and / or users. In some cases, cookies only contain information about certain settings that cannot be associated with a specific person.
We are using session cookies on our websites. We have a legitimate interest in optimizing our website and proceed in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f GDPR.
However, you can adjust your browser so that you are informed about the placement of cookies. You can also delete cookies at any time, usually via your browser settings.

You can contact us via our contact form. In order to answer your request, we need your name and E-Mail address. You can provide further information voluntarily, but you do not have to.

Storage period:

Your data will only be processed to answer your request. After that we delete all data, unless there is a legal obligation to store the data. Your data will not be passed on to third parties.

Legal basis for data processing:

According to the nature of your request, we may base the processing of the data you provided on the necessity for the performance of a contract or on the necessity for the performance of pre-contractual measures (Article 6 paragraph 1 letter b of the GDPR).

We process data you have provided to us in the context of your application in order to assess your suitability for the position (or other vacancies, if applicable) and to carry out the application process. Your application will be reviewed by the Human Resources Department upon receipt. Suitable applications will then be forwarded to people responsible for the respective open or suitable position. Throughout the company, only those persons who require your data for the proper execution of our application process will have access to it.

Retention period:

In the event of rejection, the applicants’ data will be deleted after 6 months.

Legal basis for data processing:
The processing of your data as part of the application procedure is necessary for the decision on your employment. This results from § 26 Paragraph 1 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).
Should the data be required for legal prosecution after completion of the application procedure, the processing of the data is based on our legitimate interest (Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f DSGVO). Our interest is the assertion or defence of claims.

You have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

You have the following rights vis-à-vis us concerning your personal data:

  1. Right to information and access (Article 15 GDPR)
    You have the right to request confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed; if this is the case, you have the right to obtain information about this personal data and the information listed in detail in Article 15 GDPR.
  2.  Right to rectification or erasure (Article 16 and 17 GDPR)
    You have the right to request without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you and, where applicable, the completion of incomplete personal data. You also have the right to request that personal data concerning you be deleted without undue delay, provided that one of the reasons listed in detail in Article 17 of the GDPR applies, e.g. if the data is no longer required for the purposes pursued.
  3. Right to restrict processing (Article 18 GDPR)
    You have the right to request the restriction of processing if one of the conditions listed in Article 18 GDPR applies, e.g. if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21 DSGVO, for the duration of any review as to whether our legitimate interests override yours.
  4. Right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR)
    In certain cases, which are detailed in Article 20 GDPR, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request the transfer of this data to a third party.

Right to object to processing and right to withdraw your consent:

In some cases (see the relevant sections in this privacy notice), we base the processing of your personal data on a legitimate interest that we claim to have. We do this in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f of the GDPR. Whenever this is the case, you have the right to object to the processing of your data. If you make such an objection, we will ask you to explain the reasons as to why we should not process your personal data in the way we have done. In the event of your objection, we will investigate the facts. Following this assessment, we will either stop or adapt the processing of your data. Depending on the facts, we may also provide compelling legitimate reasons for the continuation of the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms and continue the processing (Article 21 paragraph 1 of the GDPR).
If you have consented to the processing of your data, you may withdraw your consent any time. Such a withdrawal will affect the permissibility of the processing of your personal data.
