Data protec­tion

The operators of this website and its pages take the protec­tion of your personal data very seriously. Hence, we handle your personal data as confid­en­tial inform­a­tion and in compli­ance with the statutory data protec­tion regula­tions and this Data Protec­tion Declaration.

Whenever you use this website, a variety of personal inform­a­tion will be collected. Personal data comprises data that can be used to person­ally identify you. This Data Protec­tion Declar­a­tion explains which data we collect as well as the purposes we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which purpose the inform­a­tion is collected.

We herewith advise you that the trans­mis­sion of data via the Internet (i.e., through e-mail commu­nic­a­tions) may be prone to security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data against third-party access.

Storage duration

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you assert a justi­fied request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permiss­ible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commer­cial law reten­tion periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

General inform­a­tion on the legal basis for the data processing on this website

Recip­i­ents of personal data

In the scope of our business activ­ities, we cooperate with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is required as part of the fulfill­ment of a contract, if we are legally oblig­ated to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax author­ities), if we have a legit­imate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure of this data. When using processors, we only disclose personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid contract on data processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agree­ment is concluded.

Revoc­a­tion of your consent to the processing of data

A wide range of data processing trans­ac­tions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. This shall be without preju­dice to the lawful­ness of any data collec­tion that occurred prior to your revocation.

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

IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVI­SIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTEC­TION DECLAR­A­TION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJEC­TION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPEL­LING PROTEC­TION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLE­MENTS (OBJEC­TION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVERT­ISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERT­ISING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFIL­I­ATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERT­ISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERT­ISING PURPOSES (OBJEC­TION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to log a complaint with the competent super­visory agency

In the event of viola­tions of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a super­visory agency, in partic­ular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged viola­tion occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regard­less of any other admin­is­trative or court proceed­ings avail­able as legal recourses.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automat­ic­ally on the basis of your consent or in fulfill­ment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technic­ally feasible.

Inform­a­tion about, recti­fic­a­tion and eradic­a­tion of data

Within the scope of the applic­able statutory provi­sions, you have the right to demand inform­a­tion about your archived personal data, their source and recip­i­ents as well as the purpose of the processing of your data at any time. You may also have a right to have your data recti­fied or eradic­ated. If you have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.

Right to demand processing restrictions

You have the right to demand the impos­i­tion of restric­tions as far as the processing of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time. The right to demand restric­tion of processing applies in the following cases:

• In the event that you should dispute the correct­ness of your data archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this invest­ig­a­tion is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/​is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restric­tion of the processing of your data instead of demanding the eradic­a­tion of this data.
• If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entitle­ments, you have the right to demand the restric­tion of the processing of your personal data instead of its eradication.
• If you have raised an objec­tion pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determ­ined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restric­tion of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the excep­tion of their archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitle­ments or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.

SSL and/​or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the trans­mis­sion of confid­en­tial content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryp­tion program. You can recog­nize an encrypted connec­tion by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appear­ance of the lock icon in the browser line.

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

Rejec­tion of unsoli­cited e-mails

We herewith object to the use of contact inform­a­tion published in conjunc­tion with the mandatory inform­a­tion to be provided in our Site Notice to send us promo­tional and inform­a­tion material that we have not expressly requested. The operators of this website and its pages reserve the express right to take legal action in the event of the unsoli­cited sending of promo­tional inform­a­tion, for instance via SPAM messages.

4. Recording of data on this website

Cookies

Our websites and pages use what the industry refers to as “cookies.” Cookies are small data packages that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored tempor­arily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or they are perman­ently archived on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automat­ic­ally deleted once you terminate your visit. Permanent cookies remain archived on your device until you actively delete them, or they are automat­ic­ally eradic­ated by your web browser.

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

Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are technic­ally essen­tial since certain website functions would not work in the absence of these cookies (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for promo­tional purposes.

Cookies, which are required for the perform­ance of electronic commu­nic­a­tion trans­ac­tions, for the provi­sion of certain functions you want to use (e.g., for the shopping cart function) or those that are neces­sary for the optim­iz­a­tion (required cookies) of the website (e.g., cookies that provide measur­able insights into the web audience), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a different legal basis is cited. The operator of the website has a legit­imate interest in the storage of required cookies to ensure the technic­ally error-free and optim­ized provi­sion of the operator’s services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies and similar recog­ni­tion techno­lo­gies has been requested, the processing occurs exclus­ively on the basis of the consent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG); this consent may be revoked at any time.

You have the option to set up your browser in such a manner that you will be notified any time cookies are placed and to permit the accept­ance of cookies only in specific cases. You may also exclude the accept­ance of cookies in certain cases or in general or activate the delete-function for the automatic eradic­a­tion of cookies when the browser closes. If cookies are deactiv­ated, the functions of this website may be limited.

Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

Consent with Complianz

Our website uses Complianz’s consent techno­logy to obtain your consent to store certain cookies on your device or for the use of certain techno­lo­gies and to document this consent in a manner compliant with data protec­tion regula­tions. The provider of this techno­logy is Complianz B.V., Kalmarweg 14-5, 9723 JG Groningen, the Nether­lands (herein­after “Complianz”).

Complianz is hosted on our servers, so no connec­tion to the servers of the provider of Complianz is estab­lished. Complianz stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to allocate the consents granted to you or their revoc­a­tion. The data collected in this way is stored until you request us to delete it, delete the Complianz cookie yourself or until the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory legal storage oblig­a­tions remain unaffected.

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

Server log files

The provider of this website and its pages automat­ic­ally collects and stores inform­a­tion in so-called server log files, which your browser commu­nic­ates to us automat­ic­ally. The inform­a­tion comprises:

• The type and version of browser used
• The used operating system
• Referrer URL
• The hostname of the accessing computer
• The time of the server inquiry
• The IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is recorded on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The operator of the website has a legit­imate interest in the technic­ally error free depic­tion and the optim­iz­a­tion of the operator’s website. In order to achieve this, server log files must be recorded.

Contact form

If you submit inquiries to us via our contact form, the inform­a­tion provided in the contact form as well as any contact inform­a­tion provided therein will be stored by us in order to handle your inquiry and in the event that we have further questions. We will not share this inform­a­tion without your consent.

The processing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to the execu­tion of a contract or if it is neces­sary to carry out pre-contrac­tual measures. In all other cases the processing is based on our legit­imate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your agree­ment (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The inform­a­tion you have entered into the contact form shall remain with us until you ask us to eradicate the data, revoke your consent to the archiving of data or if the purpose for which the inform­a­tion is being archived no longer exists (e.g., after we have concluded our response to your inquiry). This shall be without preju­dice to any mandatory legal provi­sions, in partic­ular reten­tion periods.

Request by e-mail, telephone, or fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass these data on without your consent.

These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfill­ment of a contract or is required for the perform­ance of pre-contrac­tual measures. In all other cases, the data are processed on the basis of our legit­imate interest in the effective handling of inquiries submitted to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been obtained; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after comple­tion of your request). Mandatory statutory provi­sions - in partic­ular statutory reten­tion periods - remain unaffected.

5. Analysis tools and advertising

Matomo

This website uses the open-source web analysis service Matomo.

Through Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data on the use of our website-by-website visitors. This enables us to find out, for instance, when which page views occurred and from which region they came. In addition, we collect various log files (e.g. IP address, referrer, browser, and operating system used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. clicks, purchases, etc.).

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legit­imate interest in the analysis of user patterns, in order to optimize the operator’s web offer­ings and advert­ising. If appro­priate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclus­ively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to inform­a­tion in the user’s end device (e.g., device finger­printing) within the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time.

IP anonym­iz­a­tion

For analysis with Matomo we use IP anonym­iz­a­tion. Your IP address is shortened before the analysis, so that it is no longer clearly assignable to you.

Analysis without cookies

We have configured Matomo in such a way that Matomo will not store cookies in your browser.

Hosting

We host Matomo exclus­ively on our own servers so that all analysis data remains with us and is not passed on.

6. Plug-ins and Tools

Google Fonts (local embedding)

This website uses so-called Google Fonts provided by Google to ensure the uniform use of fonts on this site. These Google fonts are locally installed so that a connec­tion to Google’s servers will not be estab­lished in conjunc­tion with this application.

For more inform­a­tion on Google Fonts, please follow this link: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and consult Google’s Data Privacy Declar­a­tion under: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

7. eCommerce and payment service providers

Processing of Customer and Contract Data

We collect, process, and use personal customer and contract data for the estab­lish­ment, content arrange­ment and modific­a­tion of our contrac­tual relation­ships. Data with personal refer­ences to the use of this website (usage data) will be collected, processed, and used only if this is neces­sary to enable the user to use our services or required for billing purposes. The legal basis for these processes is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

The collected customer data shall be deleted upon comple­tion of the order or termin­a­tion of the business relation­ship and upon expir­a­tion of any existing statutory archiving periods. This shall be without preju­dice to any statutory archiving periods.

8. Custom Services

Handling applicant data

We offer website visitors the oppor­tunity to submit job applic­a­tions to us (e.g., via e-mail, via postal services on by submit­ting the online job applic­a­tion form). Below, we will brief you on the scope, purpose and use of the personal data collected from you in conjunc­tion with the applic­a­tion process. We assure you that the collec­tion, processing, and use of your data will occur in compli­ance with the applic­able data privacy rights and all other statutory provi­sions and that your data will always be treated as strictly confidential.

Scope and purpose of the collec­tion of data

If you submit a job applic­a­tion to us, we will process any affil­i­ated personal data (e.g., contact and commu­nic­a­tions data, applic­a­tion documents, notes taken during job inter­views, etc.), if they are required to make a decision concerning the estab­lish­ment or an employ­ment relation­ship. The legal grounds for the afore­men­tioned are § 26 BDSG according to German Law (Negoti­ation of an Employ­ment Relation­ship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (General Contract Negoti­ations) and – provided you have given us your consent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may revoke any consent given at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be shared with individuals who are involved in the processing of your job application.

If your job applic­a­tion should result in your recruit­ment, the data you have submitted will be archived on the grounds of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of imple­menting the employ­ment relation­ship in our data processing system.

Data Archiving Period

If we are unable to make you a job offer or you reject a job offer or withdraw your applic­a­tion, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of our legit­imate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the applic­a­tion procedure (rejec­tion or withdrawal of the applic­a­tion). After­wards the data will be deleted, and the physical applic­a­tion documents will be destroyed. The storage serves in partic­ular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g., due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.

Longer storage may also take place if you have given your agree­ment (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory data reten­tion require­ments preclude the deletion.
