Regarding the data processing described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right

to rectification or completion of inaccurate or incomplete data (see also Art. 16 GDPR)

Additionally, the provider is obliged to inform all recipients to whom data has been made available by the provider of any rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing carried out on the basis of Articles 16, 17 para. 1 and 18 GDPR. However, this obligation does not apply if this notification is impossible or involves unreasonable effort. Irrespective of this, the user has a right to information about these recipients.

In accordance with Art. 21 GDPR, users and data subjects also have the right to object to the future processing of data concerning them, provided that the data is processed by the provider in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. It is particularly permissible to object to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising.

III. Information on data processing

Your data being processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, the deletion of the data does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations and no other information is provided below on individual processing procedures.

COOKIES
a) Session cookies

We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are placed and stored on your end device by the Internet browser you use. These cookies are used to process certain information from you, such as your browser or location data or your IP address, to an individual extent.

This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective and secure, as the processing enables, for example, the reproduction of our website in different languages or the offer of a shopping cart function.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, insofar as these cookies are processed for contract initiation or contract execution.

If the processing does not serve to initiate or execute a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis in this case is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

These session cookies are deleted when you close your Internet browser.

b) Third-party cookies

Our website may also use cookies from partner companies with whom we cooperate for the purposes of advertising, analysis or the functionalities of our website.

Please refer to the following information for details, in particular the purposes and legal basis for processing such third-party cookies.

c) Removal option

You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by changing the settings of your Internet browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on the specific Internet browser you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. In the case of so-called Flash cookies, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the specific Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please also use the help function or documentation of your Flash player or contact the manufacturer or user support.

If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, however, this may result in not all functions of our website being fully usable.

NEWSLETTER

If you register for our free newsletter, the data requested from you for this purpose, i.e. your e-mail address and – optionally – your name and address, will be transmitted to us. Simultaneously, we store the IP address of the Internet connection from which you access our website as well as the date and time of your registration. As part of the further registration process, we will obtain your consent to send you the newsletter, describe the content in detail and refer you to this privacy policy. We use the data collected in this process exclusively for sending the newsletter – therefore, it will not be passed on to third parties.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. All you have to do is inform us of your revocation or click on the unsubscribe link contained in every newsletter.

ONLINE JOB APPLICATIONS / PUBLICATION OF JOB ADVERTISEMENTS

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us via our website. For these digital job applications, your candidate and application data will be collected and processed electronically by us to handle the application process.

The legal basis for this processing is § 26 para. 1 sentence 1 BDSG in combination with Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR.

If an employment contract is closed after the application process, we will store the data you submitted during the application in your personnel file for the purpose of the usual organizational and administrative process – of course in compliance with further legal obligations.

The legal basis for this processing is also § 26 para. 1 sentence 1 BDSG in combination with Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR.

If an application is rejected, we automatically delete the data transmitted to us two months after the notification of rejection. However, the data will not be deleted if the data requires longer storage due to legal provisions, e.g. due to the burden of proof under the AGG, for up to four months or until the conclusion of legal proceedings.

In this case, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR and § 24 para. 1 no. 2 BDSG. Our legitimate interest consists in legal defense or enforcement.

If you expressly consent to your data being stored for a longer period of time, e.g. for your entry in a database of applicants or interested parties, the data will be processed further on the basis of your consent. The legal basis is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. However, you can revoke your consent at any time in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR by making a declaration to us with effect for the future.
