Data is personal when it can be clearly related to an individual. The legal bases of data protection can be found in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Telemedia Act (TMG).

We would like to point out that Internet-based data transmission may have security gaps such that complete protection against access by third parties is impossible.

Cookies

We use so-called cookies on our site to recognise multiple uses of our offer by the same user/Internet connection owner. Cookies are small text files placed and saved on your computer by your Internet browser. They are used to optimise our website and our offer. They are usually so-called “session cookies” which are deleted at the end of your visit.

However, some of these cookies provide information in order to automatically recognise you. This recognition is based on the IP address stored in the cookies. The information obtained in this way is used to optimise our offers and to make it easier for you to access our website. You can prevent cookies from being installed by configuring your browser accordingly; we would like to make you aware, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of our website to their full extent.

Registration function

We offer you the possibility of registering on our site. The data entered in the course of this registration, which can be seen in the input mask

of the registration form, is collected and stored exclusively for the use of our offer. When you register on our site, we will also save your IP address and the date and time of your registration.

In the event that a third party misuses your data and registers on our site with this data without your knowledge, this serves as security on our part.  Transfer to third parties does not take place. The data collected in this way is not compared with data that may be collected by other components of our website

Contact possibility

We offer you the possibility of contacting us by email and/or via a contact form. In this case, the information provided by the user is stored for the purpose of processing their contact. Transfer to third parties does not take place. The data collected in this way is not compared with data that may be collected by other components of our website.

Use of Google Analytics with anonymisation function

On our site we use Google-Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter “Google”. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies” which are text files saved on your computer making the analysis of the use of the website possible.

The information generated by these cookies, such as the time, place and frequency of your website visit, including your IP address, is transmitted to Google in the USA and stored there.

On our website we use Google Analytics with an IP anonymisation function. In this case, your IP address will already be shortened by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and thereby anonymised.

Google uses this information to assess your use of our site, to create reports on the website activity for us and to provide other services related to website and Internet use. In addition, Google may transfer this information to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.

According to its own information, Google will never link your IP address with other Google data. You can prevent cookies from being stored by configuring your browser software accordingly; we would like to make you aware, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

Furthermore, Google offers a deactivation option for the most common browsers, which gives you more control over what data is collected and processed by Google.

If you enable this option, no information about the website visit will be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, enabling this option does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analysis services that we may use. For more information about the deactivation option provided by Google and how to enable this option, please click the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

Use of YouTube components with enhanced data protection mode

On our website, we use components (videos) from YouTube, LLC 901 Cherry Ave., 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, a company of Google Inc., Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

We use the “extended data protection mode” option provided by YouTube.

If you call up a page that has an embedded video, a connection is established to the YouTube servers and the content is displayed on the website by notifying your browser.

According to YouTube, only data is transmitted to the YouTube server in “extended data protection mode”, in particular which of our Internet pages you have visited when you watch the video. If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, this information will be assigned to your YouTube member account. You can prevent this by logging out of your member account before visiting our website.

Further information on YouTube’s data protection is provided by Google via the following link:https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

Publication of job ads/Online job applications

Your application data is collected and processed by us electronically for the purpose of the application process.

The data transmitted by you will automatically be deleted two months after notification of the rejection. This does not apply if, due to legal requirements (e.g. the obligation to provide evidence under the General Equal Treatment Act), longer storage is necessary or if you have expressly consented to longer storage in our prospect database.

You have the right to request that personal data concerning you be deleted immediately and we are obliged to delete personal data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

If we as the data controller have made the personal data public and are obliged to delete it in accordance with Art. 17, para. 1 EU GDPR, we take appropriate measures, including technical ones, taking account of the technology available and implementation costs, to inform other persons responsible for data processing who process the personal data that a data subject has asked them to delete all links to this personal data or to copy or replicate this personal data, unless the processing is necessary. We will take the necessary steps.

To exercise this right, please contact us online or via post.

5. Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request that processing be restricted if one of the following conditions is met:

• the processing is unlawful and you refuse to delete the personal data and instead request that the use of the personal data be restricted
• the data controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or
• You have objected to processing in accordance with Art. 21, para. 1 EU GDPR, as long as it is not certain whether the legitimate reasons of the data controller outweigh your reasons

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, this data – apart from its storage – may only be obtained with your consent or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest in the Union or a Member State.

If the restriction of processing according to the above prerequisites is restricted, you will be informed before the restriction is lifted. To exercise this right, please contact us online or via post.

6. Right to consultation

When asserting the right to correction, deletion or restriction of processing, you have the right to be informed about the recipients to whom the correction, deletion or restriction of processing has been communicated. To exercise this right, please contact us online or via post.

7. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to a data controller, in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transfer this data to another data controller without hindrance from the data controller to whom the personal data was provided,

• provided that the processing is based on consent in accordance with Art. 6, para. 1 (a) EU GDPR or Art. 9, para. 2 (a) EU GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Art. 6, para. 1 (b) EU GDPR
• and the processing is carried out using automated processes.

In addition, when exercising your right to data portability, you have the right to have the personal data transferred directly from one data controller to another, insofar as this is technically feasible and the rights and freedoms of other people are not affected.

The right to data portability does not apply if the processing is necessary for the performance of a task that is in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority that has been transferred to the data controller. To exercise this right, please contact us online or via post.

8. Right to objection

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time based on Art. 6, para. 1 (e) or (f) GDPR for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

In the event of an objection, we will no longer process the personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If personal data is processed for direct advertising purposes, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for the purposes of this advertising at any time. This also applies to profiling provided it is related to such direct advertising.

If the data subject objects to the processing for the purposes of direct advertising, the personal data will no longer be processed for this purpose.

In addition, you have the right, for reasons that arise from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data relating to you, which is carried out for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89. para. 1 EU GDPR unless the processing is necessary to fulfil a task in the public interest.

You can also exercise your right of objection in connection with the use of information society services, regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC, using automated procedures that use technical specifications. To exercise this right, please contact us online or via post.

9. Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – that has a legal effect on you or similarly significantly affects you.

This does not apply if the decision

• is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the data controller, or
• is permissible on the basis of legal provisions of the Union or of the Member States to which the data controller is subject and these legal provisions contain appropriate measures to safeguard the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or
• takes place with express permission from the data subject.

These decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data according to Art. 9, para. 1 EU GDPR, unless Art. 9, para. 2 (a) or (g) applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and the legitimate interests of the data subject.

If the decision is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the data controller or if it is made with the express consent of the data subject, we take appropriate measures to protect the rights and freedoms and the legitimate interests of the data subject, which includes at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the data controller, to state their own position and to contest the decision. To exercise this right, please contact us online or via post.

10. Right to revoke consent given under data protection law

You have the right to revoke your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time. The revocation does not affect the legality of the processing carried out based on the consent up to the revocation. To exercise this right, please contact us online or via post.

11. Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the EU GDPR or national data protection laws. The supervisory authority to which the complaint was submitted will inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Art. 78 EU GDPR.
