General information

In addition to the data you actively provide to us on this site (e.g. via our contact form), we collect certain technical data. This so-called metadata is automatically transmitted from your computer to our servers as soon as you visit our website (including browser, operating system or timestamp). We use this data to ensure our website is displayed correctly. In addition, we may collect data via integrated third-party providers (e.g. for external media such as map services or analytics tools). We will explain the specific purposes and legal bases in the course of this privacy policy.

Retention period

Unless a specific retention period is stated within this privacy policy, we will retain your personal data for as long as the purpose of the data processing at remains valid. If you contact us with a valid request for erasure, or if you withdraw your consent, we will erase your data. Statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.

Legal basis for data processing

If you have consented to data processing, the processing of your personal data is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, if special categories of data are processed in accordance with Article 9(1) of the GDPR. Where you have given your express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data will also be processed in accordance with Article 49(1)(a) of the GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g. through device fingerprinting), data processing will additionally take place on the basis of Section 25(1) of the TDDDG. Your consent may be withdrawn at any time. If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data where this is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. Data processing may also take place on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The following sections of this privacy policy provide information on the respective legal bases in individual cases.

Note on data transfers to third countries and US companies without DPF certification

Please note that we use tools from companies based in third countries with inadequate data protection standards or in the USA, which are not covered by the EU-US Data Protection Framework (DPF). When using these tools, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. Please note that in these third countries with inadequate data protection standards, a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed.

We would like to clarify that the US generally offers a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. The transfer of data to the US is permitted if the recipient holds DPF certification or provides appropriate additional safeguards. Information on data transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in our privacy policy.

Automated decision-making

Your personal data is not processed for the purposes of automated decision-making.

Contact form

Nature and scope of processing

When you send us enquiries (e.g. via the contact form, email or telephone), we store all the data provided (e.g. name, email address, subject of the enquiry, etc.). We require this data to process your enquiry and to be able to answer any follow-up questions via . We will not pass on this data without your consent.

Purpose and legal basis

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. Otherwise, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) if you have previously given it.

Retention period

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. once your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Contact form for applicants

Nature and scope of processing

We collect and process the personal data of applicants. Such data processing may also take place electronically, for example, when applicants submit application documents to us by email or via a web form on our website. On our website, we offer you the option of submitting applications for advertised vacancies to us by email.

Purpose and legal basis

We process the personal data of applicants in accordance with legal requirements for the purpose of establishing an employment relationship (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). You are not obliged to provide us with this data. However, without this data, we cannot conduct an application process with you.

If your application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR and, insofar as you provide us with special categories of personal data such as health information, on the basis of Article 9(2)(b) for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

We also use the professional networking services LinkedIn and XING to approach potential applicants. In this regard, the operators of these networks act as data processors on our behalf in accordance with our instructions. The legal basis for data processing when approaching potential applicants on our behalf is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (our legitimate interests). If, following such contact, you send us your application, we process your data for the purpose of establishing an employment relationship as described above on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

Retention period

In the event of a rejection, your data will be stored for a period of 6 months beyond the conclusion of the application process. This is done to safeguard our legitimate interests, to assess whether we require the data to defend against any claims arising in connection with the application process. We are then obliged to delete or anonymise your data. In this case, the data will only be available to us as so-called metadata without any direct personal reference for statistical analysis (for example, the proportion of female and male applicants, the number of applications per period, etc.).

If it becomes apparent that further storage of the data is necessary after the expiry of the 6-month period to safeguard our legitimate interests (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place once the purpose for the continued storage no longer applies. The legal basis for this further data storage is our legitimate interest in the assertion, exercise or defence of civil law claims (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in conjunction with Section 24(1)(2) BDSG or, where special categories of personal data are stored, Art. 9(2)(f) GDPR in conjunction with Section 24(2) BDSG).

Inclusion in the applicant pool

As part of the application process, we offer applicants the opportunity to be included in our “talent pool” for a period of 24 months on the basis of consent within the meaning of Article 6(1)(a) and Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR. If you have provided special categories of personal data in your application, such as health information, your consent also extends to this data. You are not obliged to provide us with your application data for our talent pool. However, without this data, we cannot consider you for future vacancies unless you submit a new application.

Consent to the inclusion of application data in the Talent Pool is voluntary and may be withdrawn at any time with future effect. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of data processing carried out on the basis of consent prior to withdrawal.

Your application documents will be deleted from the talent pool at the latest upon expiry of the retention period, or in the event of a withdrawal of consent, or upon acceptance of a job offer from one of the companies responsible for the talent pool.

If, as part of the application process, you receive an offer of employment from us and accept it, we or that company will store the personal data collected during the application process for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship. The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR or, insofar as you provide us with special categories of personal data such as health information, Article 9(2)(b).

Newsletter

We offer our newsletter on this website. If you wish to subscribe to it, we require your email address and further data to verify that the email address belongs to you and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. No further personal data is collected unless you provide it voluntarily (e.g. name, telephone number, place of residence, etc.).

When processing the data you provide when registering for the newsletter, we rely exclusively on your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR as the legal basis. You may withdraw your consent to the processing and storage of your personal data at any time (e.g. via the ‘Unsubscribe’ link in the newsletter) with effect for the future.

We store the personal data you have provided for the purpose of receiving the newsletter until you unsubscribe from the newsletter via us or the mailing service provider. This does not apply to data we have stored about you for other purposes.

If you unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing list, your email address will be stored on a blacklist by us or our email service provider for an indefinite period. This is done to prevent future emails from being sent to you. The data from the blacklist is used exclusively for this purpose and is not combined with other data. This is not only in your interest, but also in our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR to fulfil our legal obligations regarding the sending of newsletters. You may object to the storage of your data if your personal interests override our legitimate interest.

Brevo

This website uses Brevo to send newsletters. The provider is Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany.

Brevo is a service for organising and analysing newsletter distribution. The data you provide to subscribe to the newsletter is stored on Brevo’s servers in Germany.

Brevo enables us to analyse our newsletter campaigns. For example, we can see whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked. This allows us to determine which links have been clicked most frequently.

Brevo also allows us to group newsletter recipients into different categories (‘clustering’). For example, newsletter recipients can be grouped by age, gender or place of residence. This enables us to tailor the newsletters more effectively to the respective target groups.

If you do not wish to be analysed by Brevo, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this purpose in every newsletter message.

Further information on Brevo’s features can be found here: https://www.brevo.com/de/newsletter-software/.

Data processing is carried out on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time. The lawfulness of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data stored by us for the purpose of the newsletter subscription will be retained by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the distribution list once you have unsubscribed. Data stored by us for other reasons remains unaffected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a block list to prevent future mailings. The data from the block list is used solely for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). Storage on the block list is not time-limited. You may object to this storage provided that your interests override our legitimate interest.

Further information on data protection at Brevo can be found here: https://www.brevo.com/de/legal/privacypolicy/.

To ensure that personal data is processed in accordance with our guidelines and in compliance with the GDPR, we have entered into a data processing agreement (DPA) with the provider.

The US companies involved and/or their US sub-processors are certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (EU-US DPF).

In cases where no adequacy decision by the European Commission exists (including US companies that are not certified under the EU-US DPF), we have agreed on other appropriate safeguards with the recipients of the data in accordance with Articles 44 et seq. of the GDPR. Unless otherwise stated, these are standard contractual clauses of the European Commission in accordance with Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021.

Meta Pixel

We use the Meta Pixel on this website, which is provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.

With the help of the Meta Pixel, we can analyse the behaviour of our website visitors when they are redirected to our website by clicking on a Facebook advertisement. We use the user data to measure the success of our advertisements on Facebook and to optimise the ads. As the website operator, we only receive anonymised data for this purpose, meaning we cannot identify you as a user.

Meta, on the other hand, processes the data in such a way that it is attributed to a specific user and used for its own advertising purposes. This enables Meta to display personalised advertisements on Meta and other websites. We, as the website operator, have no influence over this. Further information on data processing can be found in Meta’s privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

Legal basis

When using Meta Pixel, we rely on your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TDDDG. You may withdraw your consent at any time.

The obligations we impose on each other within the framework of joint responsibility are set out in a joint data processing agreement. You can find the exact text of the agreement at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. Accordingly, when using the Meta tool, we must provide you with information on data protection and ensure that the tool is implemented on our website in compliance with data protection regulations.

Meta itself is responsible for the security of its own products.
