Personal data recipients
As part of our business activities, we collaborate with various external parties. When doing so, a transmission of personal data to these external parties is also partially necessary. We transfer personal data to external parties only when this is required as part of a contractual fulfillment, when we are legally obligated to do so (e.g. transferring data to tax authorities), when we have a justified interest in the transfer according to Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f of the GDPR or when another legal basis allows the data transfer. When using data processors, we provide the personal data of our customers only based on a valid order processing contract. In case of joint processing, a joint processing contract is concluded.

IF THE DATA PROCESSING TAKES PLACE BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LETTER E OR F OF THE GDPR, YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE RIGHT, FOR REASONS RESULTING FROM YOUR SPECIAL SITUATION, TO FILE AN OBJECTION AGAINST THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO A PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. YOU CAN REFER TO THIS DATA PRIVACY STATEMENT FOR THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL FOUNDATION ON WHICH A PROCESSING IS BASED. IF YOU FILE AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN SUBSTANTIATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OPPOSITION ACCORDING TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 OF THE GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVERTISING, THEN YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO FILE AN OBJECTION AGAINST THE PROCESSING OF YOUR RESPECTIVE PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING, PROVIDED IT IS CONNECTED TO SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 OF THE GDPR).
Right of appeal at the competent supervisory authority
In case of GDPR violations, the affected person is entitled to appeal to the supervisory authority, especially in the member state where the affected person resides, works or the place where the supposed violation occurred. The right to appeal remains irrespective of other administrative law or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to hand over data, which we process in an automated way based on your consent or in fulfilling a contract, per yourself or to a third party in a usual, machine-readable format. Provided you request the direct transmission of the data to another responsible party, this takes place only if it is technically feasible.
Information, correction and deletion
As part of the valid legal provisions, you have the right at any time to be informed at no cost about your saved personal data, its origin and recipients as well as the purpose of the data processing and, where appropriate, a right to have the data corrected or deleted. You can contact us on this at any time and also regarding additional questions pertaining to the subject of personal data.
Right to restrict the processing
You have the right to request the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us on this at any time. The right to restrict the processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data that we have saved, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the processing of your personal data be restricted.
- If the processing of your personal data occurred/occurs wrongfully, you can request the data processing to be restricted instead of the deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data but you nonetheless need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of deleted.
- If you have filed an objection according to Art. 21 Para. 1 of the GDPR, a weighing between your interests and ours must take place. As long as it is not certain whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, it may only be processed – apart from your own storage – only with your consent or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons having to do with an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Cookies
Our internet pages use so-called cookies, which are small data packets harmless to your device. They are saved in your terminal device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit has ended. Permanent cookies remain saved in your terminal device until you delete them or your web browser automatically deletes them.
Cookies can come from us (first party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third party cookies facilitate the connection of certain services of third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have different functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because they make certain webpage functions possible (such as the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used for user behavior evaluation or advertising purposes.

The website operator has a justified interest in saving necessary cookies to achieve a technically error-free and optimized availability of their services. If a consent for saving cookies and similar recognition technologies was queried, the processing takes place exclusively based on this consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter a of the GDPR and Section 25 Para. 1 of the TTDPL); the consent can be revoked at any time.
You can set your browser in a way to be informed about the placement of cookies and allow them only in individual cases, for certain cases, or generally exclude them as well as when the cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. The deactivation of cookies can restrict the functionality of this website.

This data is not merged with other data sources.
This data is collected based on Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f of the GDPR. The website operator has a justified interest in the technically error-free display and optimization of his website – to achieve this, the server log files must be saved.
Contact form
If you send us your inquiry via the contact form, we save your information from the inquiry form, including the contact information that you provided therein, for processing the inquiry and in case there are follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed based on Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter b of the GDPR provided your inquiry is related to a contractual fulfillment or is necessary to take precontractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our justified interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f of the GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter a of the GDPR) provided it was queried; the consent can be revoked at any time.
The data that you have entered in our contact form remains with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage or the purpose of the data storage is no longer applicable (e.g. after the processing of your inquiry has concluded). Compulsory regulations – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.
Inquiry via e-mail, telephone or fax
If you contact us via e-mail, telephone or fax, we save and process your inquiry – including all personal data of your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

In all other cases, the processing is based on our justified interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f of the GDPR) or on our consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter a of the GDPR) provided it was queried; the consent can be revoked at any time.
The data that you sent to us in the contact inquiries remains with us until you request us to delete them, revoke your consent to store them or the purpose of the data storage is no longer applicable (e.g. after the processing of your inquiry has concluded).

5. Analytical tools and advertising
Matomo
This website uses the open-source web analysis service Matomo.
With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data about the use of our website by the website visitors. As a result of this, we can find out when certain pages were viewed and in what region they originated, among other things. In addition, we collect various log data such as IP address, referrer, used browsers and operating systems, and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. clicks, purchases, and the like).
The use of these analytical tools is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f of the GDPR. The website operator has a justified interest in the analysis of the user behavior in order to optimize both his web offerings and his advertising. Provided a corresponding consent was queried, the processing is done exclusively based on Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter a of the GDPR and Section 25 Para. 1 of the TTDPL, as far as it includes the consent to the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDPL. The consent can be revoked at any time.
IP anonymization
When analyzing with Matomo, we use IP anonymization. In this process, your IP address is shortened before the analysis so that it can no longer be clearly assigned to you.
Cookie-free analysis
We have configured Matomo in such a way that it does not save cookies in your browser.
Hosting
Since we host Matomo exclusively on our own servers, all analytical data remain with us and is not passed on.
6. Plugins and tools
Google fonts (local hosting)
This page uses so-called Google fonts that Google makes available for uniform presentation. The Google fonts are locally installed, so there is no connection to Google servers.
For more information about Google fonts, go to https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and to the Google data privacy statement: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
OpenStreetMap
We use the map service of OpenStreetMap (OSM).
We incorporate OpenStreetMap in our own (tile) server. Thus, when the map material is activated, no connection to third-party servers takes place.
OpenStreetMap is used in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offerings and an easy finding of the places that we indicate on the website. This represents a justified interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f of the GDPR. Provided a corresponding consent was queried, the processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter a of the GDPR and Section 25 Para. 1 of the TTDPL, provided the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDPL. The consent can be revoked at any time.
7. Own services
Dealing with job applicant data
We offer you the opportunity to send us your job application by e-mail, regular mail or via the online application form, for example. Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of the personal data that we have collected from you as part of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data takes place in accordance with applicable data protection laws and all other regulations and that your data will remain strictly confidential.
Scope and purpose of the data collection
When you send us your job application, we process your personal data associated with it (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.), as far as this is necessary for deciding on the justification of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act (FDPA) according to German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter b of the GDPR (general contractual initiation) and – provided you have given your consent – Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter a of the GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data is passed on within our company exclusively to persons involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data that you have handed over based on Section 26 of the FDPA and Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter b of the GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship is stored in our data processing systems.
Data retention period
If we are unable to offer you employment, or if you reject an employment offer, or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to store the data that you have provided on the basis of our justified interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f of the GDPR) up to 6 months from the termination of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). Afterwards, the data is deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. The storage especially serves verification purposes in case of a legal dispute. Provided that it is obvious that the data will be needed after the 6-month period has ended (e.g. due to a threatening or pending legal dispute), the deletion will take place until the purpose of the continuous storage is no longer applicable.
A longer storage can also take place if you have given your corresponding consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter a of the GDPR) or if legal retention requirements prevent the deletion.
