4. Cookies
We use cookies on our website to make the website more user-friendly. Cookies are data that the visited website or its server stores on your computer via the browser in order to recognize it later. The cookies are used, for example, to display complex and dynamic content, to recognize you the next time you visit our website or to increase user-friendliness. The cookies are deleted immediately after you close your browser or automatically removed from your computer’s hard drive after a certain period of time, as the case may be.
By configuring your browser accordingly, you can prevent the installation of cookies at any time or have a warning displayed before accepting a cookie and thus determine for yourself whether you want to allow cookies or not. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. The following pages contain instructions on how to manage cookies, depending on the browser:
- Microsoft Edge
- Mozilla Firefox
- Google Chrome Desktop
- Google Chrome Mobile
- Apple Safari Desktop
- Apple Safari Mobile
- Opera
In principle, our website can also be used without accepting cookies, however, individual features of our website can then only be used to a limited extent or not at all. Before you visit our website, we ask you for your consent, so that the setting of cookies is justified by your consent. Those cookies that we absolutely need to provide the website, we use on the basis of our legitimate interest.
5. Data protection during applications and the application process
The person responsible for processing collects and processes the personal data of applicants (e.g. contact details, CV, qualifications, letter of motivation) for the purpose of handling the application process.
6. Contact by form or e-mail
If you contact us via e-mail or a form, the data will be transmitted to the recipient designated internally for further processing and stored. We use the information you provide voluntarily (e.g. name, e-mail address, telephone number, question) solely for the purpose of processing your inquiry and involve the relevant internal departments and persons. Data will only be passed on to third parties on the basis of a legal authorization or after obtaining your explicit consent.
We would like to point out that communication by e-mail or in some cases also by contact form does not take place via a secure or encrypted data connection. This means that your data can be lost during transmission or can be viewed by unauthorized persons. Contacting us via form or e-mail is therefore at your own risk, in this context we assume no responsibility and reject any liability claims asserted in this regard. By contacting us via form or e-mail, you explicitly agree to the described data processing.
7. Third-party tools and plug-ins
By visiting our website, you also agree to the data processing described below.
Google Maps
Our website occasionally uses the map service Google Maps from Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) via an API to display an interactive map and to create directions. When using Google Maps, information about your use (e.g. IP address) may be stored and transmitted to a Google server in the USA. You have the option of deactivating the Google Maps service and thus preventing the transfer of data to Google Maps. However, we would like to point out that in this case you will not be able to use the map display on our website. For more information on the handling of user data, please refer to Google’s privacy policy.
hCaptcha
Our website uses hCaptcha on contact forms to ensure that requests come from human users and to prevent spam. For more information on how user data is handled, please refer to the hCaptcha privacy policy.
8. Duration of storage
We process and store your personal data for as long as it is necessary for the fulfillment of our contractual and legal obligations or otherwise the purposes pursued with the processing, as well as beyond that in accordance with the statutory retention and documentation obligations. In this context, it is possible that personal data will be retained for the time during which claims can be asserted against our company and insofar as we are otherwise legally obligated to do so or legitimate interests require this (e.g. evidentiary and documentation purposes). As soon as your personal data is no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes, it will be deleted or anonymized as a matter of principle and to the extent possible.
9. Data transfer and data transmission abroad
We only pass on your personal data to third parties in order to use technical or organizational services that we require for the fulfillment of the aforementioned purposes or our other business activities.
Any further transfer of your personal data will only take place if you have given your express consent or if the data has been anonymized in such a way that it is no longer possible to identify you personally.
If data is transferred to a country without an adequate level of data protection, we ensure an adequate level of data protection as provided for by law by using appropriate contracts (namely on the basis of the so-called standard contractual clauses) or so-called Binding Corporate Rules or rely on the legal exceptions of consent, contract performance, the establishment, exercise or enforcement of legal claims or overriding public interests.
10. Rights of the website users
You have the right to request information about the processing of your personal data free of charge at any time; to do so, please contact the office named in the imprint. Other rights, such as the right to data deletion, data correction, restriction of data processing, right to data transmission, right to revoke any consent given and the right to object to the processing of your personal data exist within the scope prescribed by law. Please note, however, that we reserve the right to assert the restrictions provided for by law, for example if we are obliged to retain or process certain data, have an overriding interest in doing so or require it for the assertion of claims.
The exercise of such rights usually requires that you clearly prove your identity (e.g. by means of a copy of your ID card).
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of our website. Therefore, users of our website have no right to object in this regard.
11. Changes
We may modify this privacy policy at any time and without notice. The current version published on our website applies. Insofar as the data protection declaration is part of an agreement with you, we will inform you of the change by e-mail or other suitable means in the event of an update.
