Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited. Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions requested by you (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us. The data you send to us via contact inquiries 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).

   Google+ Plugin Our pages use functions of Google+. Provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Collection and disclosure of information: With the help of the Google+ button, you can publish information worldwide. Via the Google+ button, you and other users receive personalized content from Google and our partners. Google stores both the information that you have given +1 for a content and information about the page you viewed when you clicked +1. Your +1 can be displayed as hints together with your profile name and photo in Google services, such as in search results or in your Google profile, or in other places on websites and ads on the internet. Google records information about your +1 activities to improve Google’s services for you and others. To use the Google+ button, you need a globally visible, public Google profile that must contain at least the name chosen for the profile. This name is used in all Google services. In some cases, this name may also replace another name you have used when sharing content via your Google account. The identity of your Google profile can be shown to users who know your e-mail address or have other identifying information from you. Use of the collected information: In addition to the uses explained above, the information you provide will be used in accordance with Google’s applicable privacy policy. Google may publish aggregated statistics about the +1 activities of users or share them with users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers, or affiliated websites.

6. Analysis Tools and Advertising

   Google Analytics This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. Provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies.” These are text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The storage of Google Analytics cookies and the use of this analysis tool are 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.

   IP Anonymization We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that your IP address is truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address 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 and internet use to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.

   Browser Plugin You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

   Objection to Data Collection You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents the collection of your data during future visits to this website: Google Analytics deactivate. For more information on how Google Analytics handles user data, please refer to Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.

   Contract Data Processing We have concluded a contract with Google for order data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

   Demographic Characteristics in Google Analytics This website uses the “demographic characteristics” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be created that contain statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google as well as visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the point “Objection to Data Collection.”

   Storage Period User and event-level data stored by Google that is linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g., User ID), or advertising IDs (e.g., DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) is anonymized or deleted after 14 months. For details, please refer to the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=en.

   Google Analytics Remarketing Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. Provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. This function allows the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing to be linked with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been tailored to you based on your past usage and browsing behavior on one end device (e.g., cell phone) can also be displayed on another of your end devices (e.g., tablet or PC). If you have given the corresponding consent, Google links your web and app browsing history with your Google account for this purpose. This way, the same personalized advertising messages can be placed on any device you log in with your Google account. To support this feature, Google Analytics collects google-authenticated IDs of users that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create target audiences for cross-device advertising. You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by disabling personalized advertising in your Google account; follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/. The aggregation of the collected data in your Google account is based solely on your consent, which you can give or revoke at Google (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). For data collection operations that are not merged into your Google account (e.g., because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the data collection is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes. Further information and the privacy policy can be found in Google’s privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en.

   Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”). Within the framework of Google AdWords, we use the so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is set. Cookies are small text files that the internet browser places on the user’s computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked across AdWords customers’ websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can opt out of this use by easily deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. The storage of “conversion cookies” and the use of this tracking tool are 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. More information on Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking can be found in the Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

8. Plugins and Tools

   YouTube with Enhanced Data Protection Our website uses plugins from the YouTube website. The operator of the pages is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. We use YouTube in enhanced data protection mode. This mode, according to YouTube, means that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this site before they watch the video. However, the transfer of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the enhanced data protection mode. Thus, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you watch a video. As soon as you start a YouTube video on our website, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. In the process, the YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. Furthermore, YouTube can store various cookies on your end device after starting a video. With the help of these cookies, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to our website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud attempts. The cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. If necessary, further data processing operations may be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no control. The use of YouTube is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. For more information on data protection at YouTube, please refer to their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

In addition, Vimeo obtains your IP address. This applies even if you are not logged into Vimeo or do not have an account with Vimeo. The information collected by Vimeo is transmitted to the Vimeo server in the USA. If you are logged into your Vimeo account, you enable Vimeo to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your Vimeo account. The use of Vimeo is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Through this, Google obtains knowledge that our website was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our online offers. This represents 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 from your computer will be used.

In the following, 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 will be carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions and that your data will be treated confidentially.

   Scope and Purpose of Data Collection If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes in the context of interviews, etc.), insofar as this is necessary for the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG-neu under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation), and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The consent is revocable at any time. Your personal data will be passed on within our company only to persons who are involved in the processing of your application. If the application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG-neu and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. 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 reject a job offer, withdraw your application, revoke your consent to data processing, or request us to delete the data, the data transmitted by you, including any remaining physical application documents, will be stored or retained for a maximum of 6 months after the end of the application process (retention period) to be able to trace the details of the application process in the event of discrepancies (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). YOU CAN OBJECT TO THIS STORAGE IF YOU HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS THAT OUTWEIGH OUR INTERESTS. After the retention period has expired, the data will be deleted unless there is a legal obligation to retain it or another legal reason for further storage. If it is foreseeable that the retention of your data will be necessary after the retention period has expired (e.g., due to a pending or imminent legal dispute), the data will not be deleted until it has become irrelevant. Other statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Note: Please verify the contact information for accuracy and ensure that the data controller details (e.g., company name, address) are correct and up-to-date. Also, ensure the details for data protection officer, if applicable, are accurate.
