You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time regarding this. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

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

4. Data Collection on This Website
Cookies

Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not harm 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 automatically removes them.

Cookies can be from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies serve different purposes. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or video playback). Other cookies can be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies necessary for the electronic communication process, the provision of certain functions you desire (e.g., shopping cart function), or the optimization of the website (e.g., cookies to measure the 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 to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively based on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be revoked at any time.

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

Complianz is hosted on our servers, so no connection is made to the servers of Complianz’s provider. Complianz stores a cookie in your browser to associate the consents given or their revocation. The data collected in this way will be stored until you ask us to delete it, delete the Complianz cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected.

The use of Complianz is necessary to obtain the legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries directed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry by Email, Phone, or Fax

If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Targeted ads can also be displayed based on user data that Google holds (e.g., location data and interests) (audience targeting). As the website operator, we can quantitatively evaluate this data, such as analyzing which search terms led to the display of our ads and how many ads resulted in corresponding clicks.

The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that such an analysis is taking place.

7. Own Services
Handling Applicant Data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., via email, postal mail, or via an online applicant form). 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 in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions, and that your data will be treated strictly confidentially.

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection

When you submit an application to us, we process the associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary for making a decision regarding the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation), and – if you have given your 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 your application is successful, the data you provided will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

Data Retention Period

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

A longer retention period may also occur if you have given consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

Inclusion in the Applicant Pool

If we do not offer you a position, there may be the possibility of including you in our applicant pool. If you are included in the pool, all documents and information from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool so that we can contact you if there are suitable vacancies.

Inclusion in the applicant pool is based solely on your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(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 obligations.

The data in the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent is given.
