Data Collection on this Website

Cookies

Our websites use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any harm to your device. They are either temporarily stored for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Persistent cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third parties (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies serve various purposes. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or displaying videos). Other cookies may be used to evaluate user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) are stored based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of their services. If consent for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out solely based on this consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG); this consent can be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure your browser to be informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and enable automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Please note that disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

If we do use analysis and optimisation cookies, we will obtain your explicit consent separately in advance. If this is the case and you agree, cookies will be used to enable statistical reach analysis of this website, measurement of the success of our online marketing efforts, and testing procedures, such as testing and optimising different versions of our online offerings or its components. Cookies are small text files stored by the internet browser on the user's device. etracker cookies do not contain any information that could identify a user.

The data generated with etracker is processed and stored exclusively in Germany on behalf of the provider of this website, and is therefore subject to strict German and European data protection laws and standards. etracker has been independently audited, certified, and awarded the ePrivacyseal for data protection compliance.

The data processing is carried out based on the legal provisions of Article 6(1)(f) (legitimate interest) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our concern, in terms of the GDPR (legitimate interest), is to optimize our online offering and web presence. As we value the privacy of our visitors, data that could potentially be linked to an individual, such as the IP address, login, or device identifiers, is anonymized or pseudonymized as early as possible. No other use, merging with other data, or sharing with third parties takes place.

You can object to the aforementioned data processing at any time by clicking the toggle switch. The objection will not have any negative consequences. If no toggle switch is displayed, data collection has already been blocked by other measures.

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or analytics tools and other technologies on our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies, or perform independent analyses. It solely serves the management and deployment of the tools integrated through it. However, the Google Tag Manager does capture your IP address, which may also be transferred to Google's parent company in the United States.

The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in quickly and easily integrating and managing various tools on their website. If explicit consent has been requested, the processing is carried out solely on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) in accordance with the TTDSG.

Google Analytics

This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, time spent on the site, operating systems used, and the user’s origin. This data is assigned to the respective user’s device. It is not linked to a user ID.

In addition, Google Analytics can record your mouse and scroll movements as well as clicks. Google Analytics also uses various modelling approaches to supplement the collected data sets and applies machine learning technologies in its data analysis.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of users for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there.

The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG. You can revoke your consent at any time.

Data transfers to the USA are based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

Any company certified under the DPF commits to complying with these data protection standards.

IP Anonymisation

IP anonymisation is activated on this website for Google Analytics. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to 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 is not merged with other data from Google.

Own Services

Handling of Applicant Data / Personio

We offer you the opportunity to apply with us (e.g., via email, postal mail, or through an online application form). Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection laws and all other legal provisions, and that your data is treated with strict confidentiality.

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection

When you submit an application, we process the associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication details, application documents, notes from interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary for deciding on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this processing is Section 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) under German law (preliminary steps for an employment relationship), Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (general contract initiation), and – if you have given consent – Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be shared within our company with individuals involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data you have provided will be stored in our data processing systems based on Section 26 BDSG and Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

Retention Period of Data

If we are unable to make you a job offer, you decline a job offer, or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you submitted based on our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the conclusion of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). After this period, the data will be deleted, and any physical application documents will be destroyed. The retention serves particularly for evidentiary purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If it becomes apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period (e.g., due to a potential or ongoing legal dispute), deletion will only take place once the purpose for further retention no longer applies.

Longer retention may also occur if you have given explicit consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if legal retention obligations prevent deletion.

Inclusion in the Applicant Pool

If we are unable to offer you a position, you may be given the opportunity to be included in our applicant pool. In the event of inclusion, all documents and information from your application will be stored in the applicant pool so that we can contact you in the event of suitable job openings.

Inclusion in the applicant pool is based solely on your explicit consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). Providing this consent is voluntary and not related to the ongoing application process. You may withdraw your consent at any time. In that case, your data will be permanently deleted from the applicant pool, provided there are no legal grounds for further retention. Data stored in the applicant pool will be permanently deleted no later than two years after consent has been given.

We use Personio to process applicant data.
