However, information that cannot be linked to your identity (such as statistical information, for example the number of users of the online offer) is not considered personal information.

 

In principle, you can use our online offer without disclosing your identity and without providing personal data. We then only collect general information about your visit to our online offer. For some of the services offered, however, personal data is collected from you. We then generally only process this data for the purpose of using this online offer, in particular to provide the requested information. When collecting personal data, it is only mandatory to provide the data that is absolutely necessary. In addition, further information may be possible, which is then voluntary information. We point out in each case whether the fields are mandatory or voluntary. We will then provide you with the specific details in the relevant section of this data protection declaration.

​

Processing of personal information

Your details will be saved by us on specially protected servers within the European Union. These are protected by technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification or dissemination of your data by unauthorized persons. Access to your data is only possible for a few authorized persons. They are responsible for the technical, commercial or editorial support of the server. Despite regular controls, however, complete protection against all dangers is not possible.

 

Your personal data is encrypted and transmitted over the Internet. We use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption for data transmission.

 

Passing on personal data to third parties

In principle, we only use your personal information to provide the services you have requested. If external service providers are used by us in the context of the provision of services, their access to the data is also exclusively for the purpose of providing the service. We use technical and organizational measures to ensure compliance with data protection regulations and also oblige our external service providers to do so.

 

In addition, we do not pass on the data to third parties without your express consent, in particular not for advertising purposes. Your personal data will only be passed on if you have consented to the data being passed on yourself or if we are entitled or obliged to do so due to legal provisions and / or official or judicial orders. This can in particular be the provision of information for purposes of criminal prosecution, to avert danger or to enforce intellectual property rights.

This affects the search and online forms. This also results in our legitimate interest in the legal basis for processing data using cookies in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 f GDPR.

 

Analysis cookies

In addition, we use cookies on our website that enable an analysis of your user behavior, so-called analysis cookies. With these cookies we collect and save the following data:

 

• Frequency of page views

• Search terms

• Use of website functions

​

Your data collected with the help of the cookies is pseudonymized so that it is no longer possible to assign the data to the respective user.

 

We use analysis cookies to improve and optimize the quality of our online offers and their content as well as to check and improve the reach and findability of our online offers. These purposes also justify the legitimate interest in the sense of the legal basis for processing in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 f GDPR.

 

To analyze user behavior for the purposes mentioned above, we use the programs listed below, which in turn use cookies as explained.

 

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics for statistical evaluations. Google Analytics is a web analysis service from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94034, USA ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and that enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address will only be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there in exceptional cases. 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 activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to 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 Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading the browser plug-in available under the following link and install http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

​

Further information can be found at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de or http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html (general information on Google Analytics and data protection). We would like to point out that on our website, Google Analytics has been expanded to include the code "anonymizeIp ();" was extended to anonymize the IP addresses, whereby the last octet is deleted.

 

We are of the opinion that, due to the protective measures taken (anonymization and the possibility of objection), data processing to optimize our online offer is to be regarded as a legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f) GDPR.

​

Retargeting and remarketing

Retargeting or remarketing are understood to mean technologies in which users who have previously visited a certain website are shown suitable advertising even after they have left this website. For this it is necessary to recognize Internet users beyond their own website, for which cookies from the respective service providers are used; in addition, previous usage behavior is taken into account. For example, if a user looks at certain products, these or similar products can later be displayed as advertising on other websites. It is personalized advertising that is adapted to the needs of each user. For this personalized advertising it is not necessary for the user to be identified beyond recognition. We therefore do not merge the data used for retargeting or remarketing with other data.

 

We use such technologies to place advertisements on the Internet. We use third-party providers to place the advertisements. Among other things, we use offers from Google, which enable the automatic display of products that are of interest to Internet users. This function is implemented by cookies. Further information on this technology can be found in the Google data protection provisions at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de. The installation of cookies for Google Remarketing and Google AdWords Conversion Tracking can be prevented by setting the respective browser software by calling up the website http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/ads/ and changing the corresponding setting.

 

The placement of advertising is our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

 

Registration

We also record the date and time of registration and the IP address. As part of the registration process, we obtain your consent for the use of the data. You have the advantage of not having to re-enter this data every time you use or order.

 

If consent is given, the legal basis for processing the data for registration is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. If you register with us to fulfill or initiate a contract, the legal basis for the processing of the data is also Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

 

The information requested as a mandatory field during registration is required to fulfill or initiate a contract with us for certain services. However, you are not obliged to register, you can also order as a guest. In this case, however, you must enter all the data required to process the contract with each order.

 

With the registration a customer account will be created for you. We store the data in the customer account for as long as there is an active customer relationship. If no activity can be determined for a period of three years, the status of the customer relationship is set to inactive. You can request the deletion of your customer account at any time.

 

Applicant portal

You can apply for a job with us via the applicant portal and submit all the necessary information and documents. Use of the applicant portal is voluntary; You can also send us your application in other ways, for example by email or post.

 

When an application is received via the applicant portal, your documents will be electronically forwarded to the responsible employees. If you have applied for an advertised position, the documents will be automatically deleted six months after the recruitment process has been completed, provided that deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests. Such legitimate interests in this sense are, for example, obligations to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). In the case of an application without reference to an advertised position (speculative application), the application will be kept for as long as there is a possibility that the application may be of interest. You have the option at any time to request the deletion of your application, even before the intended retention period has expired. In the event of a successful application, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the legal requirements.
