Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal email notification to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis for processing can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as 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 Article 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to yourself or to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done where technically feasible.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser’s address line from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Access, Blocking, Deletion, and Correction

Within the scope of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing. You also have the right to request the correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. For this and other questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time using the address provided in the legal notice.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time using the address provided in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or 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.

Objection to Promotional Emails

The use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

Cookies

Some of our web pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. They help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set, allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and enable automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process or for providing certain functions you request (e.g., shopping cart functionality) are stored based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Any other cookies (e.g., cookies used to analyze your browsing behavior) are addressed separately in this privacy policy.

Server Log Files

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

Browser type and version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address

These data are not merged with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, server log files must be collected.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the form, including the contact information you provide, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is based solely on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry via Email, Telephone, or Fax

If you contact us via email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (e.g., name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) and/or our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us.

The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

Applications

To process your application, it is necessary to collect, store, and use your personal data. Processing may also be carried out electronically, especially if an applicant submits application documents electronically, for example via email or through a contact form on the website. We use your personal data exclusively for the purpose of managing and processing your application. Your personal data will only be forwarded to the departments and individuals responsible for the recruitment process and will not be shared with other companies or third parties.

Applicant Pool:

If you have consented to being added to our applicant pool, we will use your data in accordance with your consent to contact you later and continue the application process should you be considered for another position.

Retention Period for Applications:

Your application data will be stored for the duration of the application process. After the process concludes, we will delete your online application data in accordance with location-specific legal requirements, provided your application was not successful. This does not apply if legal regulations prevent deletion. A legitimate interest in this context may include the need to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

If you are added to our applicant pool, your data will be stored until you revoke your consent. If your application is successful, your application data will be transferred to your personnel file, subject to legal admissibility. The legal basis for processing your application data is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (in Germany, additionally § 26 BDSG).
