General Information on Data Processing
a) Scope of the processing of personal data
In principle, we only process personal data of our users to the extent that it is necessary to provide a functional website, as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place on regular basis only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in such cases in which it is not possible to obtain prior consent for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.
b) Legal basis for the processing of personal data
As far as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, the Article 6 Paragraph 1 (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
Article 6 Paragraph 1 (b) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data required to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is party. In addition, this applies to processing operations necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, the Article 6 Paragraph 1 (c) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the case that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, the Article 6 Paragraph 1 (d) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights, and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned do not outweigh the first interest, the Article 6 Paragraph 1 (f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
c) Data erasure and storage period
We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data economy. The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. In addition, storage can follow if this has been intended by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws, or other regulations to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the mentioned standards expires unless further storage of the data is necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
Provision of the website and creation of log files
a) Description and scope of the data processing
Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.
The following data is collected here:
- Information about the browser type and version used
- The user's operating system
- The user's IP address shortened by one octet
- Date and time of access
- Website URL
The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
b) Legal basis for the data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is the Article 6 Paragraph 1 (f) of the GDPR.
c) Purpose of the data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.
Storage in log files takes place to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context. The data will not be passed on or used in any other way.
Our legitimate interest in data processing, in accordance with the Article 6 Paragraph 1 (f) of the GDPR also lies in these purposes.
d) Duration of storage
If the data is stored in log files, the latest this happens is after fourteen days. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that it is no longer possible to assign the accessing client.
e) Possibility of objection and elimination
The collection of the data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

A transfer of the data to a third country does not take place.
E-mail contact, Contact application form; Purposes for which we process personal data; Legal basis and Categories for processing
If you contact us by e-mail or a contact form, the information you provide will be processed exclusively for the purpose of processing your contact request and for the possible follow-up questions.

On the basis of your consent in accordance with the Article 6 Paragraph 1 (a) of the GDPR, the legality is given based on the consent given to us for the purposes stated in the consent. Any consent given to us can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input screen of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is over when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have finally been clarified.
The user has the option to revoke his or her consent to the processing of the personal data at any given time. If the user contacts us by email, he or she can object to the storage of his or her personal data at any given time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. All personal data that was saved in the course of making contact will be deleted in this case.
Should we process personal data about you for the purpose of your application for an employment, this will only be done to the extent necessary for the decision to establish an employment relationship. The legal basis is Section 26 Paragraph 1 in conjunction with the Paragraph 8 Sentence 2 of the FDPA (Federal Data Protection Act, German: BDSG).
Furthermore, we can process personal data about you as far as this is necessary to defend against legal claims asserted against us from the application process. The legal basis is the Article 6 Paragraph 1 (f) of the GDPR, the legitimate interest being, for example, a burden of proof in a procedure under the General Act on Equal Treatment (German: AGG).
In the case of an employment relationship between you and us, we can further process the personal data already received from you for the purposes of the employment relationship in accordance with the Section 26 (1) FDPA, if this is necessary for the implementation or termination of the employment relationship or for the exercise or fulfillment of the a law or a collective agreement, a company or service agreement (collective agreement) resulting rights and obligations of the representation of interests of the employees.
We process data related to your application. This can be general data about you (such as name, address and contact details), information about your professional qualifications and school education or information about professional training or other information that you send us relating to your application. In addition, we can process job-related information that you have made publicly available, such as an account on professional social media networks.
We store the personal data you provide for the purpose of the application for as long as this is necessary for the decision on your application. If an employment relationship does not come about between you and us, we can also continue to store data as long as this is necessary to defend against possible legal claims. The application documents will then be deleted four months after notification of the rejection decision, unless longer storage is required due to legal disputes.

Use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St., Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (hereinafter: "Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", i.e. text files which are stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including the abbreviated IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there. It can also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the US.
This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the "_anonymizeIp()" extension, which ensures that the IP address is anonymized by shortening it and excludes direct personal reference. As a result of the extension, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google LLC server in the USA and shortened there. In these exceptional cases, this processing takes place in accordance with the Article 6 Paragraph 1 (f) of the GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes.
On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services related to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as a part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; we would like to point out to you, however, that in this case you will, if applicable, not be able to use all functions of this website in full.

Google web fonts are transferred to your browser's cache to avoid multiple loading processes. If the browser does not support Google Webfonts or prevents access, content will be displayed in a standard font.
For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to the Google servers, which may also result in the transmission of personal data to the servers of Google LLC in the US. This gives Google knowledge that our website was accessed via your IP address. Google Web Fonts are used with the aim of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offerings.

Use of Google Maps
This website uses Google Maps API from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St., Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland to visually display geographic information. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes and uses data about the use of the map functions by visitors. Using this service will show you our location and make it easier to get there.
As soon as you call up those sub-pages in which the Google Maps map is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) will be transmitted to Google's servers and stored there. This can also result in transmission to the servers of Google LLC in the US. This takes place regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether there is no user account. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish for it to be associated with your profile on Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google saves your data (even for users who are not logged in) as user profiles and evaluates them. The collection, storage and evaluation are carried out in accordance with the Article 6 Paragraph 1 (f) of the GDPR, on the basis of Google's legitimate interests in the display of personalized advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of Google websites. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, although you must contact Google to exercise this right.

Embedded YouTube-Videos
We embed YouTube videos on some of our websites. The operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. YouTube is informed which pages you are visiting. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can assign your surfing behavior to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.
If a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior.
Anyone who has deactivated the storage of cookies for the Google Ad program will not have to deal with such cookies when watching YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personal user information in other cookies. If you want to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in the browser.

Matomo web analysis
We use Matomo without cookies as data protection-friendly web analysis software. Returning visitors are only recorded with the help of an encrypted identifier based on the anonymized IP address together with the visitor's browser settings. This identifier is changed every 24 hours. As a result, visitor movements within our website are recorded in such a way that it is not possible to draw conclusions about the identity of individual visitors. The data collected by Matomo is only processed by us and is not shared with third parties (matomo.org).
