processing is necessary to protect legitimate interests and there is no reason to believe, that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your information.

Deletion or blocking of data
We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data economy. Therefore, we only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here, or in accordance with the Data storage periods stipulated by Law. After discontinuation of the respective purpose or expiration of these deadlines, the corresponding data are routinely and according to the Legal Regulations, blocked or deleted.

Collecting general information when visiting our website
When you access our website, a cookie automatically records information of a general nature. This information (server log files) contains, for instance, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and the like. This is only information that does not allow conclusions about your person.

This information is technically a necessity in order to correctly deliver the contents of web pages requested by you and is mandatory when using the Internet. They are processed in particular for the following purposes:

  • ensuring problem-free connection of the website,
  • ensuring smooth access and usage of our website,
  • evaluation of system security and stability, as well as
  • for further administrative purposes.

The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest for the purposes mentioned above for collecting data. We do not use your information to draw conclusions about you. The recipient of the data is only the responsible body and, where appropriate, the Processor.

Anonymous information of this kind may be statistically evaluated by us to optimize our website and the underlying technology.

Cookies
Like many other websites, we also use "cookies". Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This automatically gives us certain data, such as: IP address, browser used, operating system and your connection to the Internet.

Cookies cannot be used to launch programs or to transfer viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can facilitate navigation and enable the correct display of our websites.

In no case will the data collected by us, be passed on to third parties or a link with personal data be established, without your consent.

Of course, you can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. In general, you can deactivate the use of cookies at any time through the settings of your browser. Please use the help functions of your Internet browser to find out how to change these settings. Please note that some features of our website may not work if you have disabled the use of cookies.

SSL encryption
To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption techniques (such as SSL) via HTTPS.

Using script libraries (Google Webfonts)
In order to render our content correctly and visually appealing across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries on this website, such as Google webfonts (google.com/webfonts). Google webfonts are transferred to the cache of your browser to prevent multiple loading. If the browser does not support Google webfonts or prohibits access, content will be displayed in a standard font.

The call of script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the library. It is theoretically possible - but currently also unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes - that operators of such libraries collect data.

The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here: google.com/policies/privacy

Using jquery.com
Our website uses Java script code of the website www.jquery.com. If you have activated JavaScript in your browser and have not installed a JavaScript Blocker, your browser may transfer personal data. We do not know what data is associated with the data received and for what purposes that data is used. If you do not want our website to collect data about you, you must disable the use of JavaScript code in your browser or block the execution of scripts for the domain www.jquery.com as a whole (eg. noscript.net or ghostery.com). Further information on jQuery Foundation.

Map integration through Open Street Maps
For the card integration under contact, the provision takes place via openstreetmap.org under OdBL license. If you have activated JavaScript in your browser and have not installed a JavaScript Blocker, your browser may transfer personal data. We do not know what data is associated with the data received and for what purposes that data is used.

Online job applications / publication of job advertisements

We offer you the opportunity to apply with us on our website. In these digital applications, your Application and Application Data will be electronically collected and processed by us, in accordance with our standard Applications process.

The legal basis for this processing is § 26 (1) sentence 1 BDSG in conjunction with Article 88 (1) GDPR.

Successful applications resulting in a job offer and Employment Contract, your submitted data will be saved in your personal file for the purpose of the normal organizational and administrative procedures - of course, taking into account the further legal obligations.

The legal basis for this processing is also § 26 (1) sentence 1 BDSG in conjunction with Article 88 (1) GDPR.

Unsuccessful applications and all submitted data, are automatically and completely deleted two months after notification of the rejection. However, the deletion does not take place if the data requires a longer storage period of up to four months or until the conclusion of a judicial procedure due to legal provisions, for example because of the proof obligations under the AGG.

The legal basis in this case is Article 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR and § 24 (1) No. 2 BDSG. Our legitimate interest lies in the legal defense and enforcement.

If you expressly agree to a longer storage of your data, for example, for your inclusion in an Applicant or Interest database, the data will be further processed on the basis of your consent. The legal basis is then Article 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. Of course, in accordance with Article 7 (3) GDPR, you can revoke it at any time which is effective immediately for the future.

Our social media appearances

Data processing through social networks
We maintain publicly available profiles in social networks. The individual social networks we use can be found below.

Social networks such as Facebook etc. can generally analyse your user behaviour comprehensively if you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or banner ads). When you visit our social media pages, numerous data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered. In detail:

If you are logged in to your social media account and visit our social media page, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Under certain circumstances, your personal data may also be recorded if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data is collected, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.

Using the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which their preferences and interests are stored. This way you can see interest-based advertising inside and outside of your social media presence. If you have an account with the social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on any device you are logged in to or have logged in to.

Please also note that we cannot retrace all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. Details can be found in the terms of use and privacy policy of the respective social media portals.
Legal basis

Legal basis
Our social media appearances should ensure the widest possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on divergent legal bases to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

Responsibility and assertion of rights
If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g., Facebook), we, together with the operator of the social media platform, are responsible for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can in principle protect your rights (information, correction, deletion, limitation of processing, data portability and complaint) vis-à-vis us as well as vis-à-vis the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. Facebook).

Please note that despite the shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are determined by the company policy of the respective provider.

Storage time
The data collected directly from us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for their storage lapses, you ask us to delete it, you revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular, retention periods - remain unaffected.

We have no control over the storage duration of your data that are stored by the social network operators for their own purposes. For details, please contact the social network operators directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).
