Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which the website and server can be assigned to the specific web browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other web browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID. This allows our website to recognize that you have previously visited it with this browser. As soon as you visit this website again with the same device, the cookie and the information stored in it are sent either to our website (first-party cookie) or to another website to which it belongs (third-party cookie).

The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and, if applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is aimed at the conclusion of a contract. The data provided by you in the contact form or in your e-mail will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e. g. after your request has been processed).

This site uses so-called web fonts, which Google provides for the uniform presentation of fonts. We also use Fontawesome, a web-based icon library to display icons. We store the fonts and icons locally on our server in order to integrate Google Web Fonts & Fontawesome in compliance with data protection regulations.

With the local storage of the fonts, your browser does not have to load the required web fonts into your browser cache when calling up one of our websites to display texts and fonts correctly. This prevents the browser you are using from having to connect to Google’s servers. This would make Google aware that you have accessed our website with your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your terminal equipment.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found under https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

7. Data protection for applications and in the application process

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the controller electronically, for example, by e-mail or via a web form 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 automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests of the controller. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

8. Relevant legal basis and general information

Legal basis of processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. Suppose the processing of personal data is needed to fulfil a contract to which the data subject is a party, for example for the delivery of goods or another service or consideration. In that case, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example, in cases of inquiries about our products or services. Suppose our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations. In that case, the processing is based on Article 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company, and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would then have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or another third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on the legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because the European legislator has specifically mentioned them. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party

Is the processing of personal data based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

Duration for which the personal data will be stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective legal retention period. After the expiry of the period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, provided that they are no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of the contract.

Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e. g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e. g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that a data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee clarifies to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what consequences the non-provision of the personal data would have.

Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
