The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent you have previously given at any time. A simple notification by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of data processing carried out up to the point of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either for yourself or for a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out to the extent technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the address line in your browser changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Access, blocking, deletion

Under the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as, where applicable, the right to correct, block, or delete this data.

3. Data collection on our website
Cookies

Our website partially uses so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. They are used to make our offer more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to block cookies for specific cases or in general, and to enable automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process or for providing certain functions you request (e.g., shopping cart functionality) are stored based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to provide its services technically error-free and optimally. Any other cookies (e.g., cookies used to analyze your browsing behavior) are addressed separately in this privacy policy.

Server log files

The provider of the website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP-Adress

These data are not merged with other data sources.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact form

If you submit inquiries to us via the contact form, the information you provide in the form, including the contact details you enter, will be stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry and for any follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

The processing of data entered into the contact form is therefore carried out solely on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time. A simple notification by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions—especially retention periods—remain unaffected.

4. Analysis Tools and Advertising
Google Analytics

This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies.” These are text files stored on your computer that allow an analysis of your use of the website. 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 storage of Google Analytics cookies is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.

IP anonymization

On this website, we have enabled the IP anonymization feature. As a result, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be combined with other data from Google.

Browser plugin

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting the settings of your browser software; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website fully. In addition, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Objection to data collection

You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set, which prevents the collection of your data during future visits to this website: Disable Google Analytics.

More information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

5. Newsletter
Newsletter data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send the requested information and do not share it with third parties.

The processing of the data entered into the newsletter registration form is carried out exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of your data, your email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected.

The data you provided to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted after the newsletter is canceled. Data that has been stored for other purposes (e.g., email addresses for the member area) remain unaffected.

MailChimp

This website uses the services of MailChimp for sending newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

MailChimp is a service that can be used, among other things, to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters. If you enter data for the purpose of receiving the newsletter (e.g., email address), it will be stored on MailChimp’s servers in the USA.

MailChimp is certified under the “EU-US Privacy Shield.” The Privacy Shield is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the USA, which is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the USA.

With the help of MailChimp, we can analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent via MailChimp, a file contained in the email (a so-called web beacon) connects to MailChimp’s servers in the USA. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message was opened and which links, if any, were clicked. Technical information is also collected (e.g., time of access, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the individual newsletter recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

If you do not want any analysis by MailChimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. Additionally, you can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.

The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected.

The data you provided to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and, after cancellation, deleted from both our servers and MailChimp’s servers. Data that has been stored for other purposes (e.g., email addresses for the member area) remain unaffected.

For more details, please refer to MailChimp’s privacy policy at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.

6. Rights of the data subject

6.1) Right to confirmation

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to request from the controller confirmation as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

6.2) Right of access

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller at any time, free of charge, information about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information.
Furthermore, the European legislator grants the data subject the right to obtain information about the following:
the purposes of the processing
the categories of personal data being processed
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, particularly recipients in third countries or international organizations
where possible, the intended duration for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine this duration
the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning them, or to restriction of processing by the controller, or of a right to object to such processing
the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
if the personal data are not collected from the data subject: all available information about their source
the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, in accordance with Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR, and — at least in these cases — meaningful information about the logic involved as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject
Furthermore, the data subject has the right to know whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to information about the appropriate safeguards associated with the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

6.3) Right to rectification

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the immediate correction of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data — including by means of a supplementary statement. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

6.4) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request that the controller delete the personal data concerning them without undue delay, provided that one of the following reasons applies and to the extent that the processing is not necessary:
The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
The personal data were processed unlawfully.
The deletion of the personal data is required to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
The personal data were collected in relation to the offer of information society services pursuant to Art. 8(1) GDPR.
If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the deletion of personal data stored by the company, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The company employee will ensure that the deletion request is promptly fulfilled.
If the personal data have been made public and our company, as the controller, is obliged under Art. 17(1) GDPR to delete the personal data, the company will take reasonable measures, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested that these other controllers delete all links to, copies, or replications of these personal data, as far as the processing is not necessary. The company employee will take the necessary action on a case-by-case basis.

6.5) Right to restriction of processing

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the restriction of processing from the controller if one of the following conditions is met:
The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject for a period that allows the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful, the data subject opposes the deletion of the personal data, and instead requests the restriction of its use.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the above conditions applies and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by the company, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The company employee will ensure that the restriction of processing is implemented.

6.6) Right to data portability

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them that they have provided to a controller in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit these data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data were provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, when exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to request that the personal data be transmitted directly from one controller to another, as far as this is technically feasible and provided that it does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons. To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of the company at any time.

6.7) Right to object

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them that is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
In the event of an objection, the company will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
If the company processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to the processing of personal data for direct marketing, the company will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
Furthermore, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data conducted by the company for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of the company or another designated employee. The data subject is also free to exercise their right to object in connection with the use of information society services, regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

6.8) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing — including profiling — which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and such law contains appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) is based on the explicit consent of the data subject.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is based on the explicit consent of the data subject, the company takes appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject. This includes at least the right to obtain human intervention by the controller, to express their point of view, and to challenge the decision.
If a data subject wishes to exercise rights related to automated decisions, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

6.9) Right to withdraw a data protection consent

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If a data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

7. Data protection for applications and during the application process

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of managing the application process. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents electronically, for example via email or through a web form on the website, to the controller.
If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the submitted data will be stored for the purpose of managing the employment relationship in compliance with legal provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after the notification of the rejection decision, provided that there are no other legitimate interests of the controller preventing deletion. Such legitimate interest may include, for example, the obligation to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

8. Dauer, für die die personenbezogenen Daten gespeichert werden

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After this period expires, the corresponding data are routinely deleted, provided they are no longer required for the performance or initiation of a contract.

9. Legal or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly legally required (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual obligations (e.g., information about the contracting party). In some cases, it may be necessary for entering into a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data, which will then be processed by us.
For example, a data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would result in the contract not being concluded with the data subject.
Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will individually inform the data subject whether the provision of personal data is legally or contractually required or necessary for entering into the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.
