2. General information about data processing

1. Scope of processing of personal data
As a matter of principle we collect and use personal data of our users only insofar as necessary for provision of a functional website and for our content and services. Collection and use of personal data normally takes place only after you have granted your consent. An exception is made in cases where it is not possible to obtain consent in advance for objective reasons and processing of the data is permitted by statutory regulations.

2. Purposes and legal bases for processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain consent for processing of your personal data, Art. 6 (1) a GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Art. 6 (1) b GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of your personal data that is required for the fulfilment of a contract. This also applies for processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures.

If processing of your personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation that our company is subject to, Article 6 (1) c of the GDPR shall serve as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to safeguard a justified interest of our company or of a third party and your interests, basic rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the aforementioned justified interest, Art. 6 (1) f of the GDPR will be the legal basis for processing.

3. Erasure of data storage
Your personal data shall be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in the Union’s legal directives, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. Blocking or erasure of your data shall also take place if a storage period prescribed by the above-mentioned standards expires, unless further storage of the data is necessary for conclusion of a contract or fulfilment of a contract.

• HTTP referrer, if applicable
• Visitor’s user agent

2. Purposes and legal bases for processing of personal data

This data will be processed for the purpose of providing the website to your computer.

The legal basis for temporary storage of your IP address is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 f of the GDPR, our legitimate interest in the provision of the website.

3. Erasure of data and duration of storage

The log files are stored by the host for 14 days and then erased. No data shall be transferred to other third parties.

4. Option for objection and elimination
The collection of the data for providing the website and storing the data in log files is absolutely essential for the operation of the website. Therefore, you will have no right of objection.

3.2 Contact by e-mail

1. Scope of processing of personal data

You can contact us via the e-mail addresses given on our website. The following data will be processed by us: Name, e-mail address, content of the message. The data shall not be transferred to third parties in this connection.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) b and f GDPR. In addition to the legal basis for processing contact enquiries by email in the context of pre-contractual or contractual measures, our legitimate interest lies in responding to requests addressed to us.

3. Erasure of data and duration of storage

Your data shall be erased as soon as the purpose of collection has been achieved and storage is consequently no longer necessary. This will normally be the end of the respective conversation. You may object to the storage of your data at any time. In such a case the conversation cannot be continued. All personal data that has been stored in the course of contacting us will be erased in this case, provided there are no legal provisions to prevent this.

3.3 Applications by e-mail

1. Scope of processing of personal data
Publishing our e-mail address on our website means that we can receive an application and the associated personal data from you via this channel.

You need to provide personal data in order to participate in the application process. This data includes identification information such as your first name, surname, date of birth, contact details such as an address, telephone number or e-mail address as well as the data relating to your educational and/or professional background, for example school and work references, data on training, internships or previous employers. This data may come from the documents you provide, such as a covering letter, CV, application photo, certificates or other evidence of professional qualifications.

2. Purposes and legal bases for processing of personal data
We process the above-mentioned data for the purpose of carrying out the application procedure in order to establish an employment relationship. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) b GDPR in connection with § 26 (1) BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act) and Art. 9 (2) b GDPR. Furthermore, Art. 6 (1) f GDPR serves as the legal basis in the case of an assertion or defence of legal claims arising from the application procedure.

3. Erasure of data and duration of storage
The data shall be erased as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was obtained. If an employment relationship, training relationship, internship or other service relationship is established after the application process, the data will initially still be stored and transferred to the HR file. Otherwise, the application process will end with the receipt of a rejection. In this case, the data will be erased after six months. Erasure will not take place if further processing and storage of your personal data is required in an individual case for assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. In this case, we will have a legitimate interest in the further processing and storage of your personal data. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 f GDPR. Your personal data will also not be erased if we are required to continue to store your personal data due to legal regulations.

4. Option to object
If you wish to object to the processing of your data in the scope described above, we must draw your attention to the fact your application process cannot be continued by e-mail and we will not be able to process your application documents. This means that we will not be able to consider you for the position for which you have applied.

3.6 Processing in the context of Google Maps

1. Scope of processing of personal data

This website uses Google Maps provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps to visualise geographical information. By using this service, our location is shown to you and any journey is made easier.

You will find further information about data protection at http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

You will find the terms of use for Google Maps at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html and at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html.

2. Purposes and legal basis for processing of personal data

The integration takes place via the 2-click solution. Content is transferred to Google and the service is loaded only after you have granted your consent. Information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transferred to Google servers and stored there. This may also result in a transfer to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA, which is covered by Google’s participation in the EU Commission’s adequacy decision. This data transfer therefore takes place on the legal basis of Art. 45 GDPR. This takes place irrespective of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether there is a user account. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before you activate the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) in the form of usage profiles for its own purposes and analyses them.

The processing in the context of the integration of Google Maps is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a GDPR.

3. Option for revocation

You may revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by clicking on “Change data protection settings”. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent your data from being collected during future visits to this site.

3.7 Processing in the context YouTube integration

1. Scope of processing of personal data

We have included YouTube videos on our website that are stored on https://www.youtube.com/ and can be played directly from our website. These are all integrated in the “extended data protection mode”. This means that no data about you as a user will be transferred to YouTube if you have not given your consent in the cookie banner or do not play the videos. It is only when you play the videos and have given your consent that cookies will be set and data transferred to YouTube. This occurs irrespective of whether YouTube provides a user account via which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your Google account. If you do not want your data to be associated with your YouTube profile, you must log out before you activate the button.

You will find more information in the YouTube or Google privacy policy, which you can access here: http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

2. Purposes and legal basis for processing of personal data

We integrate our YouTube videos to provide information about our company and for our own marketing purposes. Our reason for integrating YouTube is to allow us to present various videos to you on our website so that you can watch them directly on our website.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data described here is Art. 6 (1) a GDPR, your consent, in conjunction with § 25 TTDSG.

YouTube stores your data in the form of usage profiles for its own purposes and analyses them. Such an evaluation takes place in particular (even for users who do not log on) for the presentation of needs-based advertising and to inform other users about the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

3. During of storage and transfer of data

The cookies set after your consent will be erased as soon as you have finished watching the video or leave the video again.

4. Option for revocation

You may revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by clicking on “Change data protection settings”. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent your data from being collected during future visits to this site.

We process your personal data in the context of a competition if you provide us with this data voluntarily.

The legal basis for processing of data is Art. 6 (1) f of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the fact that a distribution of profits can take place only with processing of personal data.

This is usually the case after distribution of the prize, in some cases after expiry of a statutory limitation period.
