General

This privacy policy meets the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, e-mail address, IP address or user behavior when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot (or can only with a disproportionate effort) establish a reference to your person, e.g. by anonymization, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.
Stored personal data are deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate grounds for further storage of the data. We will inform you in the individual processing operations about the specific storage periods or criteria for storage. Irrespective of this, we store your personal in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and if there are statutory retention obligations.
Information according to Art. 13 DS-GVO
This information is intended for customers, prospective customers, suppliers and employees. Your personal data will be processed by us for the following purposes:

To fulfill our contractual obligations to you (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).
For the performance of pre-contractual obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).
To respond to inquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).
If you have given us consent to process your personal data for certain purposes (for example, to receive our newsletter), the data processing takes place on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
To fulfill legal obligations to which our company is subject (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR).
To the extent necessary, we also process your data to protect our legitimate interests, in particular to assert legal claims and defend ourselves in legal disputes or to ensure IT security, to consult and exchange data with credit agencies to determine creditworthiness and default risks, for direct advertising and market research insofar as you have not objected to the use of your data for this purpose, for measures to manage business and further develop services and products, for measures to optimize products and sales, for measures to manage risk, to prevent or investigate criminal acts (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Categories of recipients of the personal data

Within our company, only those employees have access to the data who absolutely need it to perform their tasks (need-to-know principle). Individual processes and services are carried out by carefully selected service providers who are based within the EEA and who comply with data protection regulations. Insofar as service providers commissioned by us receive access to personal data when performing your services, order processing agreements have been concluded with them in accordance with Art. 28 (3) GDPR.
Duration of data storage
The data processed by us is stored for the duration of the existence and processing of the contractual relationship and in compliance with statutory retention periods. These are, in particular, retention obligations under commercial and tax law in accordance with the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Fiscal Code (AO). The regular retention and documentation periods are up to ten years. If there is no contractual relationship, we only process the data for as long as the specific purpose requires.
Your data subject rights
As a data subject, you have the following rights with regard to the personal data concerning you vis-à-vis us:

Right to information about the data processed about you by us.
Right to rectification or deletion if they are incorrect, out of date or unlawfully collected by us.
Right to restriction of processing if complete deletion is not possible, e.g. because we have to comply with legal retention obligations.
Right to object to processing, provided that the data processing is based on a balance of interests (the so-called legitimate interest), as described above under "Purpose of processing". This is the case if the processing is not necessary, in particular, for the performance of a contract with you. When exercising your right to object, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your data as we have done.
Of course, you can also object to the processing of your personal data for advertising purposes at any time. Please send your objection to our address given in the imprint or write us an e-mail to the address given in the imprint.
Right of revocation if you have given us consent to process your data. You can assert your revocation at any time without giving reasons to our company. To do so, please contact the address given in the imprint.
In addition, you have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data by our company.
If you have any questions regarding data protection, please contact us by e-mail at the address given in the imprint.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are sent by us to the browser of your end device during your visit to our website and stored there. As an alternative to the use of cookies, information can also be stored in the local storage of your browser. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies or local storage (technically necessary cookies). Other cookies, on the other hand, enable us to perform various analyses, so that we are able, for example, to recognize the browser you are using when you visit our website again and to transmit various information to us (non-essential cookies). With the help of cookies, we can, among other things, make our website more user-friendly and effective for you, for example by tracking your use of our website and determining your preferred settings (e.g. country and language settings). If third parties process information via cookies, they collect the information directly from your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device. They cannot execute programs or contain viruses.
We provide information about the respective services for which we use cookies in the individual processing operations. You can find detailed information about the cookies used in the cookie settings or in the Consent Manager of this website.
Your rights
Under the conditions of the statutory provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the following rights as a data subject:

Information according to Art. 15 GDPR about the data stored about you in the form of meaningful information about the details of the processing and a copy of your data;
Correction according to Art. 16 GDPR of incorrect or incomplete data stored by us;
Deletion pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR of the data stored by us, insofar as the processing is not necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims;
Restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR, insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed, the processing is unlawful, we no longer need the data and you object to their deletion because you need them for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR.
Data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, insofar as you have provided us with personal data within the scope of consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a GDPR or on the basis of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) b GDPR and these have been processed by us using automated processes. You will receive your data in a structured, common and machine-readable format or we will transfer the data directly to another responsible party, insofar as this is technically feasible.
Objection according to Art. 21 GDPR against the processing of your personal data, insofar as this is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e, f GDPR and there are reasons for this that arise from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct advertising. The right to object does not exist if overriding compelling legitimate grounds for the processing are demonstrated or the processing is carried out for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. Where the right to object does not exist for individual processing operations, this is indicated there.
Revocation according to Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR of your given consent with effect for the future.
Complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR to a supervisory authority if you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your place of work or our company headquarters.

Contact form

Nature and scope of processing
If you send us inquiries (e.g. via contact form, e-mail or telephone), we store all data resulting from this (e.g. name, e-mail address, subject of the inquiry, etc.). We need this data to process your inquiry and to be able to answer follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
Purpose and legal basis
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, if your request is related 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 processing of requests addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) if you have previously given it.
Storage duration
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after we have completed processing your request). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

Contact form for applicants

Nature and scope of processing
You have the opportunity to apply to us on our website (e.g. by e-mail, by post or via the online application form).
Purpose and legal basis
We process the personal data of applicants in accordance with the legal requirements for the purpose of processing the application procedure and carrying out pre-contractual measures within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. b. GDPR and § 26 BDSG according to German law (initiation of an employment relationship) 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 passed on within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.
Storage duration
Your data will be stored for a period of 6 months beyond the end of the application process. This is usually done to fulfill legal obligations or to defend against any claims arising from legal regulations. Subsequently, we are obliged to delete or anonymize your data. In this case, the data is only available to us as so-called metadata without direct personal reference for statistical evaluations (for example, proportion of women or men in applications, number of applications per period, etc.).
If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will not be deleted until the purpose for continued storage no longer applies.
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 12 months on the basis of consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. a. DS-GVO to be included.
The application documents in the talent pool will be processed solely in the context of future job postings and employee searches and will be destroyed at the latest after the deadline. Applicants are informed that their consent to inclusion in the talent pool is voluntary, has no influence on the current application process and that they can revoke this consent at any time for the future.
If you receive an offer of employment with us as part of the application process and accept it, we will store the personal data collected as part of the application process for at least the duration of the employment relationship.

Presence on social media platforms

Data processing through social networks
We operate publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The social networks used by us in detail can be found below.
Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. can generally analyze your user behavior extensively. By visiting our social media presences, the following data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered:
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our profile, the operator of this social medium can track this visit. Independently of this, the operator may also process your data (e.g. IP address) under certain circumstances if you are not logged into your account or you do not have an account at all.
The operator summarizes this data in user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. These profiles are used to display personalized advertising inside and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, the personalized advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.
Depending on the platform, further processing operations may be carried out by the operators of the social media portals, over which we have no control. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social media portals.
Legal basis
Our social media presences are intended to ensure the most comprehensive possible presence on the Internet within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

Responsible person and assertion of rights
If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. In principle, you can assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. Facebook).
Despite the joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we have no full influence on the data processing operations of the portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.
Storage duration
The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies.

jQuery CDN

Nature and scope of processing
We use jQuery CDN to properly deliver the content on our website. jQuery CDN is a service provided by jQuery, which acts as a content delivery network (CDN) on our website.
A CDN helps to provide content of our online offer, especially files such as graphics or scripts, faster with the help of regionally or internationally distributed servers. When you access this content, you establish a connection to servers of jQuery, whereby your IP address and possibly browser data such as your user agent are transmitted. This data is processed solely for the above purposes and to maintain the security and functionality of jQuery CDN.
Purpose and legal basis
The use of the Content Delivery Network is based on our legitimate interests, i.e. interest in a secure and efficient provision and optimization of our online offer pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR.
Storage duration

The concrete storage period of the processed data cannot be influenced by us, but is determined by jQuery. For more information, see the privacy policy for jQuery CDN: www.stackpath.com/legal/privacy-statement/.
