The protection of your personal data during the processing of personal data on the occasion of your visit to our homepage is an important concern for us.

We would like to inform you below about the nature and extent of the processing of personal data via this website in accordance with Article 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO).

Data processing via the website

Your visit to our website is logged. Initially, the following data that your browser transmits to us is recorded:

the IP address currently used by your PC or your router

Date and time

Browser type and version

the operating system of your PC

the pages you have viewed

Name and size of the requested file(s)

and, if applicable, the URL of the referring website. 

This data is only collected for the purposes of data security, to improve our web offer and for error analysis on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 f DSGVO. 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 computer is only evaluated anonymously (shortened by the last 3 digits).

You can visit our website without providing any personal information.

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

Applications

The data controller processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. The legal basis is Section 26 (1) sentence 1 BDSG. The processing may also take place electronically. This is the case, in particular, if an applicant submits relevant application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via a web form located on the website. If the 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 controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be deleted in compliance with the statutory provisions after the advertised job has been filled, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller conflict with such deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). For this purpose, the data is stored for 6 months after the conclusion of the application procedure and subsequently deleted.

Contact

Personal data (e.g. your name, address data or contact data) that you provide to us voluntarily, e.g. in the context of an enquiry or in any other way, will be stored by us and processed only for correspondence with you and only for the purpose for which you 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 Para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO.

Secure data transmission

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

Comment function on this website

For the comment function on this page, in addition to your comment, details of when the comment was created, your e-mail address and, if you do not post anonymously, the user name you have chosen will be stored.

Storage of the IP address 

Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who post comments. Since we do not check comments on our site before they are activated, we need this data to be able to take action against the author in the event of legal violations such as insults or propaganda.

Storage period of the comments

The comments and the associated data (e.g. IP address) are stored and remain on our website until the commented content has been completely deleted or the comments have to be deleted for legal reasons (e.g. offensive comments).

Legal basis

The comments are stored on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke your consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal communication by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

Subscribe to comments

As a user of the site, you can subscribe to comments after registering. You will receive a confirmation email to check that you are the owner of the email address provided. You can unsubscribe from this function at any time via a link in the info emails. In this case, the data entered in the context of subscribing to comments will be deleted; however, if you have transmitted this data to us for other purposes and at another point (e.g. newsletter order), it will remain with us.

Data collection through Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Ltd. ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Tel: +353 1 543 1000, Fax: +353 1 686 5660, Email: support-deutschland@google.com. Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 f) DSGVO.

However, in the event that IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. We would like to point out that the code "anonymizelp" has been added to Google Analytics on this website to ensure an anonymised version of the IP address.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

reCAPTCHA

To protect your enquiries via Internet forms, we use the reCAPTCHA service of the Google company.

The query includes the sending of the IP address and, if applicable, further data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and used there. However, 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 transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

The service is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO

Adwords and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising programme of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ("Google"). Within the framework of Google AdWords, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify the user. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we will be able to recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked across AdWords customers' websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. The storage of "conversion cookies" is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising. More information on Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking can be found in Google's privacy policy:

Use of cookies

So-called cookies are used on our website. Cookies are small text files that are saved by your browser and stored on your computer.

  • the processing is unlawful and you refuse erasure and request restriction of use instead,
  • we no longer need the data but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims,
  • you have objected to the processing of your data and it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate grounds outweigh your grounds.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format and you have the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance from us, provided that the processing is based on consent or a contract and the processing is carried out by us with the help of automated processes.

Right of objection

The data subject shall have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, including any profiling based on those provisions.

Right of withdrawal

If the processing of your personal data is based on consent, you have the right to revoke this consent at any time.

Standard periods for the deletion of data
