Information on data transfers to third countries that do not provide an adequate level of data protection and to US companies that are not DPF-certified
Among other things, we use tools provided by companies based in third countries that do not provide an adequate level of data protection, as well as US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. Please note that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in third countries that do not provide adequate data protection.
Please note that, as a secure third country, the USA generally provides a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Data may therefore be transferred to the USA if the recipient is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) or has appropriate additional safeguards in place. Information about transfers to third countries, including the recipients of the data, can be found in 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 personal data to be transferred to these external parties. We disclose personal data to external parties only where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, where we are legally required to do so, for example when transferring data to tax authorities, where we have a legitimate interest in disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the disclosure. When using processors, we disclose our customers' personal data only on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the event of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are possible only with your express consent. You may withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
WHERE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA. 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 YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ESTABLISH, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).
WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, 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 TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of infringements 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 any other administrative or judicial remedy.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract provided to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be carried out only where technically feasible.
Access, rectification and erasure
Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, the right to have this data rectified or erased. You may contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions relating to personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
- If we no longer need your personal data but you require it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
- If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your interests and ours must be weighed against each other. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may, apart from being stored, be processed only with your consent, for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the change in the browser address line from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Objection to promotional emails
We hereby object to the use of contact details published as part of our legal notice obligations for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials. The website operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information being sent, for example in the form of spam emails.

Our websites use what are known as “cookies”. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your terminal device. They are stored on your terminal device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable certain services provided by third-party companies to be integrated into websites, for example cookies used to process payment services.

Cookies that are required to carry out electronic communications, to provide certain functions requested by you, such as the shopping cart function, or to optimise the website, such as cookies used to measure the website audience, are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG). Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
You can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are set, allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and automatically delete cookies when the browser is closed. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.
Information about which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

Enquiries by email, telephone or fax
If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all personal data arising from it, such as your name and the content of the enquiry, will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not disclose this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), where this has been requested. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
The data you send to us in contact enquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, for example once your enquiry has been fully processed. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.

Analytics tools and advertising
Matomo
This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo.
With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyse data about the use of our website by website visitors. This enables us, among other things, to determine when particular pages were accessed and from which region the access originated. We also collect various log files, such as the IP address, referrer, browser and operating system used, and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions, such as clicks, purchases and similar actions.
This analytics tool is used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising. Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's terminal device, such as device fingerprinting, within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
IP anonymisation
We use IP anonymisation when analysing data with Matomo. Your IP address is shortened before the analysis so that it can no longer be clearly associated with you.
Cookieless analytics
We have configured Matomo so that it does not store cookies in your browser.
Hosting
We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers, which means that all analytics data remains with us and is not disclosed to third parties.

eCommerce and payment providers
Processing of customer and contract data
We collect, process and use personal customer and contract data for the purpose of establishing, defining the content of and amending our contractual relationships.

Our own services
Handling applicant data
We offer you the opportunity to apply for a position with us, for example by email, by post or using an online application form. The following information explains the scope, purpose and use of the personal data collected from you during the application process. We assure you that your data will be collected, processed and used in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions, and that your data will be treated as strictly confidential.
Scope and purpose of data collection
If you submit an application to us, we process the associated personal data, such as contact and communication data, application documents and notes taken during interviews, insofar as this is necessary to decide whether to establish an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general steps prior to entering into a contract) and, where you have given your consent, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Within our company, your personal data will be disclosed exclusively to persons involved in processing your application.
If your application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.
Data retention period
If we are unable to offer you a position, you reject a job offer or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted for up to six months from the end of the application process, meaning the rejection or withdrawal of the application, on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The data will then be deleted and any physical application documents destroyed. The data is retained in particular for evidentiary purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will still be required after the six-month period has expired, for example because of an impending or pending legal dispute, the data will not be deleted until the purpose for its continued retention no longer applies.
Data may also be retained for a longer period if you have given corresponding consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
Inclusion in the applicant pool
If we are unable to offer you a position, we may be able to include you in our applicant pool. If you are included, all documents and information from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool so that we can contact you if a suitable vacancy becomes available.
Inclusion in the applicant pool takes place exclusively on the basis of your express consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Giving consent is voluntary and is not related to the ongoing application process. The data subject may withdraw their consent at any time. In this case, the data will be permanently deleted from the applicant pool unless statutory grounds for retention apply.
The data in the applicant pool will be permanently deleted no later than two years after consent was given.
