We hereby expressly point out that the transmission of data via the Internet (e.g. by email) can be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is therefore impossible to safeguard the data completely against access by third parties.

Storage period

If not specified otherwise within this privacy policy, your personal data will be stored with us until the purpose of its processing ceases to apply. If you claim a rightful deletion request or revoke your consent to the processing of data, your data will be deleted as long as no other legally permissible grounds for the storage of your personal data exist (e.g. retention periods pursuant to tax or commercial law). In the latter case, the data will be deleted as soon as the grounds impeding the deletion cease to apply.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations require your explicit consent. You may withdraw your previously granted consent at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal shall remain unaffected by such withdrawal.

The same shall apply to profiling based on these provisions. For the relevant legal basis justifying the processing of data, please refer to this privacy policy.

  • If you challenge the accuracy of personal data stored with us, we generally need some time to verify this. You shall have the right to demand the limitation of the processing of your personal data for the duration of this verification.
  • If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you shall have the right to demand the limitation of the data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to execute, defend or raise legal claims, you shall be entitled to demand the limitation of the processing of your personal data instead of its deletion.

Cookies

Our website uses so called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that do not cause any damage to your terminal device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your terminal device. Session cookies are deleted automatically at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies will be stored on your terminal device until you delete them or automatic deletion is carried out by your web browser.

Sometimes third-party companies can also store cookies on your terminal device when you visit our website (third-party cookies). This allows us or you the use of certain services that are provided by the third-party company (e.g. cookies for the purpose of providing payment services).

Cookies may serve different functions. Many cookies are technically necessary as certain website features could not be used without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the displaying of videos). Other cookies serve the purpose of evaluating user behavior or displaying advertising.

Cookies required for the electronic communication process (necessary cookies) or for the deployment of certain features you may use (functional cookies, e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies used for measuring the number of visitors) are stored in accordance with art. 6 sect. 1 lit. f GDPR, as long as no different legal basis is specified. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure the optimized deployment of their services without any technical errors. If consent to the storage of cookies was requested, the storage of the cookies concerned will be carried out exclusively based on this consent (art. 6 sect. 1 lit. a GDPR). The consent can be revoked at any time.

The provider of the web pages automatically collects and stores information in so called “server log files” that your browser automatically submits to us. These are:

  • browser type and version
  • operating system used
  • referrer URL
  • host name of the accessing computer
  • time of the server request
  • IP address

This data will not be merged with data from other sources.

The collection of this data is based on art. 6 sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the error-free technical visualization and optimization of his website, which requires the collection of server log files.

Requests by contact form, email, phone or fax

If you contact us by our contact form, email, phone or fax, your request including all personal contact details arising from this contact (e.g. name, request etc.) will be stored with us and processed for the purpose of solving your request. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on art. 6 sect. 1 lit. b GDPR, whenever your request relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the efficient processing of the requests we receive (art. 6 sect. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (art. 6 sect. 1 lit. a GDPR), if it has been requested.

The data you submit to us in the course of contact requests remains with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage or the purpose of the data storage ceases to exist (e.g. upon completion of the processing of your concern). Mandatory legal provisions, in particular legal retention periods, shall remain unaffected.

5. Plug-ins and tools

Google Web Fonts (local hosting)

This website uses so-called “web fonts” provided by Google in order to enable uniform display of fonts. Google Fonts are installed locally. No connection to Google servers will be established.

Further information about Google Web Fonts is available here and in Google‘s privacy policy.

6. Audio and video conferencing

Data processing

Our communication with customers includes the use of online conferencing tools. For details of the tools we use, please refer to the list below. If you communicate with us via online audio or video conferencing, your personal data will be collected and processed both by us and by the provider of the conferencing tool we use.

The conferencing tools will collect all the data you provide/use when using the tools (your email address and/or phone number). The conferencing tools will also process the duration of the conference, start and end (time) of the participation in the conference, number of participants and other “contextual information” associated with the communication process (metadata).

Furthermore, the provider of the tool will process all technical data required to facilitate the online communication activity. This includes in particular IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device types, operating system types and versions, client versions, camera types, microphones or loudspeakers and types of connection.

If content is shared, uploaded or otherwise made available within the tool, this content will also be stored on the tool provider‘s servers. Such content includes in particular cloud records, chat or instant messages, voice mails, uploaded pictures and videos, files, whiteboards and other information shared while using the service.

Please note that our control of the data processing operations of the tools used is subject to certain restrictions. Such control depends largely on the enterprise policy of the providers. You will find further information about the data processing of conference tools in the privacy policies of the tools used below this text.

Purpose and legal basis

Conferencing tools are used in order to communicate with potential or existing contractual partners or to offer certain services to our clients (art. 6 sect. 1 s. 1 lit. b GDPR). Furthermore, the tools are used to generally simplify and speed up communication with us and our company (legitimate interest within the meaning of art. 6 sect. 1 lit. f GDPR). If consent has been requested, the use of the tools is based on this consent. Your consent may be revoked at any time with future effect.

Storage period for conferencing tools

Data directly collected by us through video and conferencing tools will be deleted from our systems, if you demand its deletion, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose of the data storage ceases to exist. Any stored cookies will remain on your terminal device until you delete them. Mandatory legal retention periods shall remain unaffected.

The storage periods for your data stored by providers of conferencing tools for their own purposes are beyond our control. Please contact the conferencing tool providers for further details.

7. Our own services

Handling of applicant data

In the following we will provide information about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We hereby confirm that we collect, process and use your data in accordance with applicable data protection law and all further legal provisions and that your data will be treated as strictly confidential.

Scope and purpose of the collection of data

If you provide us with your application, we will process your personal data associated with it (e.g. contact details and communications data, application files, notes associated with job interviews etc.) as required to take an employment decision. This is based on sect. 26 BDSG-neu (new German Federal Data Protection Act, on the initiation of an employment relationship), art. 6 sect. 1 lit. b GDPR (general initiation of contracts) and, if you have given your consent, art. 6 sect. 1 lit. a GDPR. Your consent may be revoked at any time. Within our company, your personal data shall not be shared with persons other than those involved in the processing of your application.

If your application is successful, the data you provided will be stored for the purpose of establishing employment in accordance with sect. 26 BDSG-neu and art. 6 sect. 1 lit. b GDPR in our data processing systems.

Data retention period

If we are unable to provide a job offer, or if you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to store the data you provided based on our legitimate interest (art. 6 sect. 1 lit. f GDPR) for a period of up to 6 months after termination of the application procedure (rejection or withdrawal of the application). After this period, the data will be deleted and all physical documentation will be destroyed. This retention is in particular required for future reference in the event of disputes. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the expiration of the 6 month period (e.g. due to a possible or pending legal dispute), it will not be deleted until the purpose for the extended retention ceases to exist.

The retention can also be extended if you have given your consent (art. 6 sect. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if legal retention requirements impede the deletion.

8. Disclosure of data to third parties

General provisions

  • Suppliers and subcontractors
  • Individual service providers (including processors), e.g. banks, IT providers etc.
  • Business partners, especially external consultants, experts etc.
  • Authorities and courts, if required

These third parties are usually based in the EU. However, in certain circumstances data may also be transferred to other countries/third countries outside the EU/EEA. Such processing is based on our legitimate interest, your consent or the performance of contracts.

Where necessary, we have concluded appropriate processing contracts in accordance with article 28 GDPR. The data processors undertake to comply with data protection and data security provisions in these contracts. They also grant us comprehensive audit and monitoring rights, rights of access and rectification and deletion rights.

Information on disclosure of data to the US

As laid down in this privacy policy, we also make use of tools and services of companies located in the United States in some cases. This means that your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the companies involved. We point out that the US is currently not considered to be a safe third country in terms of EU data protection law. In that regard, it might be possible that US authorities access these data without data subjects being able to prevent them from doing so. Such processing activity is outside our control.
