Note on Data Transfer to Countries with Inadequate Data Protection and to US Companies Not Certified Under the DPF

We use tools from companies based in countries with inadequate data protection as well as US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. We point out that in countries with inadequate data protection, no level of data protection comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed.

We note that the USA is generally considered a safe third country with a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Data transfer to the USA is permissible if the recipient is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has suitable additional safeguards. Information on transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.


Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties. This may also involve the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only transfer personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in the transfer, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer.

When using processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.


Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke consent already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.


Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).


Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.


Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a common, machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to yourself or to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done if technically feasible.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content—such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator—this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.


Objection to Promotional Emails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information, such as spam emails.

Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily 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 stored on your device until you delete them or your web browser deletes them automatically.

Cookies can be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow the integration of certain services provided by third parties within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies serve various functions. 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 analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions you desire (e.g., the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies, processing is based exclusively on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies, allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

6. Our Own Services

Handling Applicant Data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., via email, postal mail, or 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 strictly 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 from interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation), and—if you have given consent—Art. 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 submitted will be stored in our data processing systems for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship based on § 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Retention Period of Data

If we are unable to offer you a position, you reject a job offer, or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you submitted based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months after the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal). The data will then be deleted, and physical application documents destroyed. Retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be needed after the 6-month period (e.g., due to a pending legal dispute), deletion will occur once the purpose for further retention no longer applies.

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

Inclusion in the Applicant Pool

If we do not offer you a position, there may be an option to include you in our applicant pool. In this case, all documents and information from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool to contact you in case of suitable vacancies.

Inclusion in the applicant pool is based solely on your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Giving consent is voluntary and unrelated to the current application process. You may revoke your consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted unless legal retention obligations exist.

Data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent is given.
