THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.

If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have filed an objection under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may – apart from their storage – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

This website uses features of the Google Analytics web analytics service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (‘Google’), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, dwell time, operating systems used, and the user’s origin. This data may be aggregated by Google into a profile that is assigned to the respective user or their device.
Google Analytics uses technologies that allow the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its web offering and its advertising. If the corresponding consent has been requested (e.g., consent to store cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.
The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.
We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. As a result, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or other contracting parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide further services related to website usage and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

This website uses ‘WordPress Statistics’ to statistically evaluate visitor access. The provider is Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110-4929, USA.
WordPress Statistics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting).

This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to this storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

For communication with our customers, we use online conferencing tools, among other methods. The specific tools we use are listed below. When you communicate with us via video or audio conferencing over the internet, your personal data is collected and processed by us and the provider of the respective conferencing tool.
The conferencing tools capture all data that you provide/use to use the tools (email address and/or your phone number). Furthermore, the conferencing tools process the duration of the conference, start and end times (time) of participation in the conference, the number of participants, and other “contextual information” related to the communication process (metadata).
Additionally, the provider of the tool processes all technical data necessary for handling online communication. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or speaker type, and the type of connection.
If content is exchanged, uploaded, or otherwise provided within the tool, this content is also stored on the servers of the tool providers. Such content includes, in particular, cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared during the use of the service.
Please note that we do not have full influence over the data processing operations of the tools used. Our capabilities are largely determined by the corporate policies of the respective providers. For further information on data processing by the conferencing tools, please refer to the privacy policies of the tools listed below.
The conference tools are used to communicate with potential or existing contractual partners or to offer specific services to our customers (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR). Furthermore, the use of the tools serves the general simplification and acceleration of communication with us or our company (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). If consent has been obtained, the use of the respective tools is based on this consent; the consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
The data directly collected by us through the video and conference tools will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose of data storage no longer exists. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected.
We have no influence on the storage duration of your data, which is stored by the operators of the conference tools for their own purposes. For details, please inquire directly with the operators of the conference tools.
We use the following conference tool:
Google Meet
We use Google Meet. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. For details on data processing, please refer to Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
We have concluded a contract for data processing with the provider of Google Meet and fully comply with the strict requirements of German data protection authorities when using Google Meet.
We offer you the opportunity to apply with us (e.g., by email, postal mail, or via an online application form). The following information informs 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 are in accordance with applicable data protection laws and all other legal provisions, and your data will be treated strictly confidentially.
If you submit an application to us, we process the associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes from job interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary for deciding on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG-new according to German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general pre-contractual measures), and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be disclosed within our company to individuals involved in the processing of your application.
If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems based on § 26 BDSG-new and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of conducting the employment relationship.
If we cannot offer you a job, you reject a job offer, or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have provided based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). Afterward, the data will be deleted, and physical application documents will be destroyed. The retention serves, in particular, as evidence 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 an imminent or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further retention no longer exists.
A longer retention period may also occur if you have given corresponding consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if legal retention obligations prevent deletion.
If we cannot offer you a job, there is the possibility of including you in our applicant pool. In the event of inclusion, all documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool to contact you in case of suitable vacancies.
Inclusion in the applicant pool is solely based on your explicit consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). Giving consent is voluntary and has no relation to the ongoing application process.
The data subject can revoke their consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted unless there are legal retention reasons.
Data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted at the latest two years after granting consent.
