Privacy policy for this website

The protection of your personal data on the occasion of your visit to our website is an important concern for us. Your data is protected in accordance with statutory provisions. In the following, we would like to inform you about the nature and scope of the processing of personal data through this website in accordance with Article 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

III. Data processing through the website

Your visit to our website is recorded. We generally collect the following data that your browser sends to us:

IP address currently used by your computer or your router
Date and time
Browser type and version
Operating system of your computer
Webpages you visit
Name and size of requested file(s)
URL of referral website, if applicable

This data is only collected for the purposes of data security, improving our website offer and analysing errors on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR. We reserve the right to use this data in the event of system abuse in order to determine the reasons and the trigger of the abuse, as well as to take legal action if necessary. In addition, the IP address of your PC is only analysed in anonymised form (shortened by the last three digits).

You are able to visit our website without providing information on your identity.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. It is not possible to provide complete protection of data from access by third parties. You should therefore send us confidential data by another means, e.g. by post.

Applications

Please apply exclusively via our career portal. Unfortunately we cannot process applications by e-mail or post for data protection reasons.

The data controller processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of managing the application procedure. The legal basis is Section 26 (1) 1) German Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz – BDSG). The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends relevant application documents to the controller by electronic means. If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the data controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be deleted after the advertised position has been filled, taking into account the statutory provisions, provided that no other legitimate interests of the data controller conflict with such deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz – AGG). For this purpose, the data will be stored for six months after completion of the application process and then deleted.

If you have consented to be included in our talent pool, we will also store your data in order to take your application data into account for other vacancies in our company. For this purpose, we store your data for 12 months and delete it afterwards. The legal basis is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR.

Contact information

Personal data (such as your name, address data or contact details) which you voluntarily disclose to us, for example in connection with a request or otherwise, will be stored by us and only processed for correspondence with you and only for the purpose for which you have provided us with this data. The processing of this data is based on our legitimate interest in a prompt response to enquiries from interested parties on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR.

Registration

You can register on our website in order to access additional functions offered here. The input data will only be used for the purpose of using the respective site or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject your registration. To inform you about important changes such as those within the scope of our site or technical changes, we will use the e-mail address specified during registration. We will process the data provided during registration only based on your consent per Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. An informal e-mail making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed. We will continue to store the data collected during registration for as long as you remain registered on our website. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Secure data transmission

In order to protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption techniques (SSL) via HTTPS.

IV. Recipients of personal data

We may utilise service providers in connection with data processing in order to perform and execute processes.

Specifically, we use service providers for our applicant portal and for hosting our website.

Contractual relationships are established with our service providers, which meet the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR; the contractual provisions contain the statutorily required points on data protection and data security.

V. Newsletter

If you subscribe to our company's newsletter, the data in the respective input mask will be transmitted to the data controller. Registration for our newsletter takes place in a double opt-in procedure. This means that, after registration, you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is required so that no one can register with other people's e-mail addresses. When registering for the newsletter, the user's IP address and the date and time of registration are stored. This serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address of the data subject. Data will not be passed on to any third parties. An exception exists if there is a legal obligation to disclose. The data will only be used for sending the newsletter. The subscription to the newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. Likewise, consent to the storage of personal data can be revoked at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter. The legal basis for data processing after registration for the newsletter by the user is Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR if the user has given their consent. The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is Section 7 (3) German Unfair Competition Act (Gesetz gegen den unlauteren Wettbewerb – UWG).

Description and purpose: We use rapidmail for sending newsletters. The provider is rapidmail GmbH, Wentzingerstraße 21, 79106 Freiburg, Germany. Among other things, rapidmail is used to organise and analyse the dispatch of newsletters. The data entered by you for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored on the servers of rapidmail in Germany. If you do not want any analysis by rapidmail, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this in every newsletter message. For the purpose of analysis, the e-mails sent with rapidmail contain a tracking pixel, which connects to the servers of rapidmail when the e-mail is opened. In this way, it is possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened. Furthermore, with the help of rapidmail we can determine whether and which links are clicked on in the newsletter message. All links in the e-mail are tracking links, with which your clicks can be counted.

Legal basis: The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR.

Recipient: The data recipient is rapidmail GmbH.

Transmission to third countries: The data is not transmitted to third countries.

Duration: The data stored by us within the scope of your consent for the purpose of the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers as well as from the servers of rapidmail after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the members' area) remain unaffected by this.

Revocation option: You have the option to revoke your consent to data processing with effect for the future at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

Further data protection information: For more details, please refer to the data security information of rapidmail at: www.rapidmail.de/datensicherheit. For more information on the analysis functions of rapidmail, please see the following link: www.rapidmail.de/wissen-und-hilfe

VI. YouTube

Our website uses plugins from YouTube, which is operated by Google. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Telephone: +353 1 543 1000, Fax: +353 1 686 5660, E-mail: support-deutschland@google.com ("Google" or synonymously "YouTube"). We have integrated the service with a two-click solution. Only when you click on the corresponding placeholder will a connection to Google's servers be established. When a video is viewed on YouTube, a connection is established to the YouTube servers. Here the YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited. If you're logged in to your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to associate your browsing behaviour directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. Further information about handling user data can be found in the data protection declaration of Google at:

As a registered user of the YouTube platform, you can also control the extent to which your user behaviour may be collected and used by Google via the YouTube platform's comprehensive advertising settings. YouTube is used to help make our website appealing. The legal basis is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time below. If consent is not required, the legal basis in this case is Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR.
