The following notices provide a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website.

3. INFORMATION ON THE PROCESSING OF DATA ON OUR
WEBSITE

We delete or block your data processed when using our website as soon as there is no longer a purpose for storing it and there are no longer any legal retention obligations. If we make different statements in this data protection notice with regard to certain processing, these will apply.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website - for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded. At this point, it is also not possible to restrict processing for technical reasons for the future.

Contact form 

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form,
including the contact details you have provided there, will be stored by us for the
purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent, unless the enquiry directly indicates a
desired forwarding or it is necessary to answer the enquiry as part of a precontractual measure.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of precontractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent, by implied conduct or by explicit confirmation (Art. 6 (1) a GDPR).

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request erasure, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after processing your enquiry has been completed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

Enquiries by e-mail, telephone or fax

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

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of precontractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent, by implied conduct or by explicit confirmation (Art. 6 (1) a GDPR).

The data you send us via contact requests remain with us until you request erasure, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after processing your request has been completed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.

YouTube

We use YouTube to present our company and our services and products
audiovisually. You will therefore find links to our YouTube presence on our website. YouTube is operated by Google Ireland Limited, a subsidiary of the US-based Google LLC.

Due to Google's global server locations and corporate headquarters in the USA, user data may be processed outside the European Union, in particular in the USA. This may result in higher risks for users, especially with regard to the user rights set out in the GDPR, which cannot be fully exercised. 

You can find YouTube's privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
We have also integrated YouTube videos directly into our website. Here, we use the "extended data protection mode" function. The videos are only loaded after you have given your explicit consent. Personal data is therefore processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a (consent). Calling up a website on which we have embedded a YouTube video does not therefore result in a direct connection to Google servers. 

According to Google, the "Enhanced Privacy Mode" also enables YouTube videos to be launched with increased data protection. Nevertheless, by calling up YouTube videos, at least your IP address, the exact time as well as the internet address on which the video is embedded are collected.

In addition, when a video is played, connections to other Google addresses are
established over which we have no control. In particular, we cannot prevent Google from processing the information collected for profiling purposes and using it for its own purposes.

If you have a Google account and are logged in to this account when you view a
video, Google will link the information collected to your account. You can prevent this aggregation of information by first logging out of your Google account. In the settings of your Google account, you can also make additional configurations, for example, to prevent your YouTube history from being saved permanently. We refer you to the Google privacy policy linked above.

XING

We have a company page on the career platform XING. The provider of the platform is New Work SE, Am Strandkai 1, 20457 Hamburg. There we can inform about news in our company, present ourselves and get in direct contact with interested parties and business partners. XING also allows you to use interactive functions such as sharing or commenting on posts or to write direct messages to us. When you use or access our XING Company Page, personal data is processed by us and by XING. This data includes, among other things, personal information and the IP address of the user. We are joint data controllers within the meaning of the GDPR.

XING  describes in its data protection information how the provider processes
personal data and how you can exercise your rights in this regard:
https://privacy.xing.com/de/datenschutzerklaerung

As the operator of our company page on XING, we receive information through the platform about statistical evaluations that relate to the views of our company page. Unless you are logged into your XING profile, the data is anonymised so that we cannot draw any conclusions about individual page visitors. However, the statistics help us to continuously improve our corporate presence and make it more attractive.

If you visit our company page while logged into your XING user account, we can track the visit to our page by your user account. If you do not wish this, you can log out of your user account before accessing our company page.

As a company, we process personal data on the basis of our legitimate interest in
analysing, communicating, selling and advertising our products and services (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). In some cases, the user's consent may also be given in
accordance with Art. 6 (1) a GDPR. The user can transmit the revocation of this
consent to the platform operator at any time (Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR).
If you contact us via XING (e.g. by direct message), we process the information you provide for the purpose of responding to your enquiry on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Depending on the enquiry, Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR may also serve as a legal basis for us if, for example, you are interested in a position in our company and this therefore involves pre-contractual measures.

As soon as we have answered your enquiry and there are no legal obligations to retain data, we delete your data.

LinkedIn

We have a company page on the career platform LinkedIn. The provider of the
platform is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company in Ireland, a subsidiary of the

Instagram

Our company uses Instagram as part of our marketing strategy to promote our
products and services and to communicate with prospects and customers. We are jointly accountable with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited for our presence on this social media platform. When you visit our online presence on Instagram, user data is processed by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd, operator of the platform in the EU.

Links to social media via graphics or text links

On our website, we refer to our presence on various social networks. For this
purpose, we use linked graphics to prevent a connection to the server of the
respective social network from being established automatically when the website is called up. Instead, the user is only redirected to the service of the social network after clicking on the graphic. After the user has been redirected, information about the user is collected by the respective network. Depending on the platform, it cannot be ruled out that the data collected in this way will be processed in the USA.

The social networks each act themselves as data controllers within the meaning of data protection and pursue their own purposes in processing personal data. The data collected when calling up the pages includes e.g. the IP address, the exact time and the page visited. If you have an account with
the respective service and are logged in to this account, the network operator can assign the collected information to your personal account. Any further interaction with the network, e.g. clicking on a "Share" or "Like" button, may result in this information being stored in your user account and possibly also published. To avoid the collected information being directly assigned to your user account, you can log out of your account before clicking on the graphic. You may also be able to make advanced configurations in the network settings to limit this.

The following social networks are integrated into our site by linking:

Consent Management Tool CCM 19
To comply with our duty to inform about services and cookies used and to enable
and manage consents and refusals, we use the cookie consent manager tool
CCM19.
The service provider is Papoo Software & Media GmbH, Auguststraße 4, 53229
Bonn, Germany. The legally required logging of the consents and refusals made in the cookie banner takes place in anonymised form. The tool places a cookie in the local memory of your browser, which is technically necessary.
The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. Our legitimate interest is to comply with the legal obligation to obtain your consent for corresponding processing activities in the most uncomplicated way possible for you and us.
For a more detailed description, please see the provider's privacy policy:
https://www.ccm19.de/datenschutzerklaerung.html

Web analysis etracker
The provider of this website uses services of etracker GmbH from Hamburg,
Germany https://www.etracker.com to analyse usage data. We do not use cookies for web analysis by default. Insofar as we use analysis and optimisation cookies, we obtain your explicit consent separately in advance. If this is the case and you consent, cookies will be used to perform a statistical coverage analysis of this website, a measurement of the success of our online marketing measures as well as etracker cookies enable test procedures, e.g. to test and optimise different versions of our online offer or its components. Cookies are small data records that are stored by the Internet browser on the user's end device. etracker cookies do not contain any information that enables the identification of a user.
The data generated with etracker is processed and stored by etracker on behalf of the provider of this website exclusively in Germany and is therefore subject to
German and European data protection laws and standards. etracker has been
independently audited, certified and awarded the https://www.eprivacy.eu/kunden/vergebene-siegel/fimra/etracker-gmbh/ data protection seal of approval in this regard.

The data processing is carried out on the basis of the legal provisions of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f (legitimate interest) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Our concern in terms of the GDPR (legitimate interest) is the optimisation of our
online offer and our web presence. Since the privacy of our visitors is important to us, data that may allow a reference to an individual person, such as the IP address, login or device identifiers, are anonymised or pseudonymised as soon as possible. No other use is made of the data, nor is it merged with other data or passed on to third parties.

You can object to the data processing described above at any time. The objection has no adverse consequences.

OpenStreetMap
For the geographical representation of our locations, we have integrated
OpenStreetMap, a service of the OpenStreetMap Foundation based in the United
Kingdom.

The map display on our website is prevented by default and only takes place afteryou have consented via the Consent Management Tool or by clicking on the overlay. The legal basis for the resulting data processing is therefore your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). The maps are reloaded from servers of the OpenStreetMap Foundation. Your IP address and the website on which the map is embedded are transmitted to the provider. This process is technically necessary in order to display the map information.

The extent to which OpenStreetMap also uses cookies, how your data is processed by the service and how you can assert your rights can be found in the provider's data protection information:
https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy
