We would like to draw your attention to the fact that online data transfers (by email, for example) are subject to a number of security vulnerabilities. As such, your data cannot be completely safeguarded against third-party access.

The controller is the natural person or legal entity that, single-handedly or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Revoking your consent to data processing

A wide range of data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You reserve the right to revoke previously granted consent at any time. To do so, all you need to do is send us an informal message by email. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in special cases; Right to object to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR).

In cases where data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1) lit. 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 respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this Privacy Notice. If you object, we will no longer process the personal data in question, unless we can present compelling and legitimate reasons for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (objection in accordance with Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising, including profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct advertising (objection according to Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to appeal to the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to a right to appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to appeal exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to demand that we hand over any data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or to fulfil a contract to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only take place where technically feasible.

Information regarding blocking, erasure and correction

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you reserve the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, the right to rectify, block or erase this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the site notice in this regard and for other questions on the topic of personal data.

Right to restrict data processing

You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data is restricted. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the site notice regarding this. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually require time to verify this. For the duration of this check, you also have the right to request that the processing of your personal data is restricted.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer require your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data instead of deleting it.
• If you have lodged an objection under Section 21(1) GDPR, our rights will be weighed up against yours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data is restricted.
• If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, the data in question may only be processed – with the exception of its storage – with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims, or protecting the rights of another natural person or legal entity, or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Wenn Sie die Verarbeitung Ihrer personenbezogenen Daten eingeschränkt haben, dürfen diese Daten – von ihrer Speicherung abgesehen – nur mit Ihrer Einwilligung oder zur Geltendmachung, Ausübung oder Verteidigung von Rechtsansprüchen oder zum Schutz der Rechte einer anderen natürlichen oder juristischen Person oder aus Gründen eines wichtigen öffentlichen Interesses der Europäischen Union oder eines Mitgliedstaats verarbeitet werden.

This data processing takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest of the technically faultless presentation and optimisation of its website. As such, the collection of server log files is required.

Contact form

If you send us queries via the contact form, the details you submit in the query form, including the contact details disclosed there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the query and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not disclose this data to third parties without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form therefore takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR). You reserve the right to revoke this consent at any time. To do so, all you need to do is send us an informal message by email.

Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Queries by email, phone or telefax

If you contact us by email, phone or telefax, your query, including all disclosed personal information (name, query) will be saved and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not disclose this data to third parties without your consent.

This data processing takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, provided your query is related to the fulfilment of a contract or this processing is required to perform pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing takes place on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR) and/or our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR), due to our legitimate interest in the competent handling of the requests we receive.

We store the data sent to us with contact enquiries until you request its erasure, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for which the data was stored no longer applies (e.g. once your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

The processing of the data entered during registration therefore takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR). You can revoke consent to this at any time. To do so, all you need to do is send us an informal message by email. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

We store data collected when you register as long as you remain registered on our website and subsequently delete it. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected by these provisions.

Processing of data (customer and contract data)

We collect, process and use personal data only to the extent required for the establishment, structural formation or alteration of the legal relationship (inventory data). This takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6(1) lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process and use personal data concerning the use of our website (usage data) only to the extent required to provide services or invoice the user for the use of the service.

The collected customer data is erased once the order is complete or the business relationship is terminated. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected by these provisions.

Scope and purpose of data collection

When you send us an application, we process the related personal data (e.g. contact and communication information, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) to the extent required to make a decision on whether to hire you. This processing takes place on the legal basis of Section 26 of the revised Federal Data Protection Act (initiating an employment relationship), Art. 6(1) lit. b GDPR (entering into a contract) and, if you have provided your consent, Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR.

Data retention periods

If we don’t offer you a job, you turn down an offer, you withdraw your application, you revoke your consent to data processing or request that we delete your data, the data you have submitted, incl. any remaining carbon copies of application documents, will be stored for a maximum of 6 months after conclusion of the application process (retention period) in order to verify details from the application process in the event of any disagreements (Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR).

YOU CAN OBJECT TO THIS DATA STORAGE IF YOU HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS THAT OUTWEIGH OUR INTERESTS.

Once the retention period ends, the data will be deleted, provided it is not subject to any further statutory retention periods or prolonged storage on the basis of other legal grounds. If it becomes apparent that your data will need to be stored beyond the end of the retention period (due to an impending or pending legal dispute, for example), the data will only be deleted once it is no longer relevant. Other statutory retention periods remain unaffected by these provisions.
