Note on data transfer to third countries that are not secure under data protection law and transfer to US companies that are not DPF-certified

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in third countries that are not secure under data protection law and US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. We would like to point out that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in third countries that are not secure under data protection law.

We would like to point out that the USA, as a safe third country, generally offers a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Data transfer to the USA is permitted if the recipient is certified under the „EU-US Data Privacy Framework“ (DPF) or has appropriate additional guarantees. Information on transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy. Recipients of personal data/contract processing As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only transfer personal data to external parties if this is necessary to fulfill a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., transferring data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the transfer. When using contract processors, we only transfer our customers‘ personal data on the basis of a valid contract for contract processing. If we commission third parties to process data on the basis of a data processing agreement, this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR. These third parties are carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions, and are regularly monitored. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR.

3. YOUR RIGHTS

You can contact us at any time with any questions about this or other issues relating to personal data.

5. RIGHT TO RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING
You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request that its processing be restricted instead of erased.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of erased.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

6. REVOCATION OF YOUR CONSENT TO DATA PROCESSING

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Article 21 (2) GDPR). You can inform us of your objection using the following contact details:

You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on 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 request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done if technically feasible.

9. RIGHT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT WITH THE COMPETENT SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY

Our website uses so-called „cookies.“ Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies can come from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain third-party services within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are required to carry out electronic communication, to provide certain functions you request (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audiences) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing will take place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDSG); this consent can be revoked at any time.
You can set your browser to inform you about the use of cookies and to only allow cookies in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

This technology is provided by Cybot A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark (hereinafter „Cookiebot“).
When you visit our website, a connection is established to Cookiebot’s servers to obtain your consent and other declarations regarding cookie use. Cookiebot then stores a cookie in your browser to be able to assign the consent granted or revoked to you. The data collected in this way will be stored until you request deletion, delete the Cookiebot cookie yourself, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected. Cookiebot is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

Order processing

We have concluded an order processing agreement (AVV) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract required by data protection law, which guarantees that the personal data of our website visitors will only be processed according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Server log files

The website provider 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

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser’s address bar changing from „http://“ to „https://“ and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Contact form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), if requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry by email, telephone, or fax.

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

12. HOSTING AND CONTENT DELIVERY NETWORKS (CDN)

In order to provide our online offering securely and efficiently, we use the services of one or more web hosting providers, from whose servers (or servers managed by them) the online offering can be accessed. For these purposes, we may use infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space, and database services, as well as security and technical maintenance services. We host the content of our website with the following providers:

Vercel

We use Vercel, a cloud deployment platform, on our website. The service provider is the American company Vercel Inc., 340 S Lemon Ave, 4133 Walnut, CA 91789.
Vercel processes your data, among other places, in the USA. We would like to point out that, in the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfers to the USA. This may entail various risks to the legality and security of the data agreement.
Vercel uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Art. 46 (2) and (3) GDPR) as the basis for data processing with recipients located in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e., in particular, in the USA) or for data transfers there. Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) are templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data complies with European data protection standards even when transferred to and stored in third countries (such as the USA). Through these clauses, Vercel undertakes to comply with European data protection standards when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed, and managed in the USA. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission. You can find the decision and the corresponding standard contractual clauses here, among other places: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de .
The data processing conditions (Data Processing Addendum), which correspond to the standard contractual clauses, can be found here: https://vercel.com/legal/Vercel_Inc_-_Data_Processing_Addendum.pdf .
Further information can be found here: https://vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy .

13. SOCIAL MEDIA

Social Media Elements with Shariff
This website uses social media elements (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, XING, LinkedIn, Tumblr).
You can usually recognize the social media elements by their respective social media logos. To ensure data protection on this website, we only use these elements in conjunction with the so-called „Shariff“ solution. This application prevents the social media elements integrated into this website from transmitting your personal data to the respective provider the first time you visit the page.
Only when you activate the respective social media element by clicking the corresponding button will a direct connection to the provider’s server be established (consent). As soon as you activate the social media element, the respective provider receives the information that you have visited this website using your IP address. If you are logged into your respective social media account (e.g., Facebook) at the same time, the respective provider can associate your visit to this website with your user account.
Activating the plugin constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDSG. You can revoke this consent at any time with future effect.

 

The service is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.
LinkedIn
This website uses elements of the LinkedIn network. The provider is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Each time you access a page of this website that contains LinkedIn elements, a connection is established to LinkedIn servers. LinkedIn is informed that you have visited this website using your IP address. If you click the LinkedIn „Recommend“ button and are logged into your LinkedIn account, LinkedIn can associate your visit to this website with you and your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of the website, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by LinkedIn.
If consent has been obtained, the use of the above-mentioned service is based on Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 of the German Telemedia Act (TTDSG). Consent can be revoked at any time. If no consent has been obtained, the use of the service is based on our legitimate interest in the most comprehensive visibility possible on social media.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/62538/datenubertragung-aus-der-eu-dem-ewr-und-der-schweiz?lang=de

15. NEWSLETTER

Newsletter Data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We use newsletter service providers, which are described below, to process the newsletter.

CleverReach
This website uses CleverReach to send newsletters. The provider is CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Schafjückenweg 2, 26180 Rastede, Germany (hereinafter „CleverReach“). CleverReach is a service that can be used to organize and analyze newsletter distribution. The data you enter to subscribe to the newsletter (e.g., email address) is stored on CleverReach’s servers in Germany or Ireland.
Our newsletters sent with CleverReach enable us to analyze the behavior of newsletter recipients. This allows us to analyze, among other things, how many recipients opened the newsletter message and how often each link in the newsletter was clicked. Conversion tracking also allows us to analyze whether a predefined action (e.g., purchasing a product on this website) occurred after clicking on the link in the newsletter. Further information on data analysis by CleverReach newsletters can be found at: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/funktionen/reporting-und-tracking/.
Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
If you do not want CleverReach to analyze your data, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message for this purpose.
The data you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored on a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interests.

16. PLUGINS AND TOOLS

YouTube with enhanced data protection
This website embeds videos from the YouTube website. The site is operated by Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in enhanced data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, enhanced data protection mode does not necessarily prevent the transfer of data to YouTube partners. This way, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network – regardless of whether you watch a video.
As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting). This allows YouTube to receive information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud attempts.
After starting a YouTube video, further data processing operations may be triggered over which we have no control.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing will be carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
Further information about data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
The company is certified according to the „EU-US Data Privacy Framework“ (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA designed to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Every company certified according to the DPF is committed to complying with these data protection standards. Further information on this can be obtained from the provider at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant-detail?contact=true&id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

Google Fonts (local hosting)
This site uses so-called Google Fonts, provided by Google, for the uniform display of fonts. Google Fonts are installed locally. There is no connection to Google servers.
Further information on Google Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Google reCAPTCHA
We use „Google reCAPTCHA“ (hereinafter „reCAPTCHA“) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
reCAPTCHA is designed to verify whether the data entered on this website (e.g., in a contact form) is entered by a human or by an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g., IP address, length of time the website visitor spends on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.
The data is stored and analyzed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated spying and SPAM. If corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG.

Handling of applicant data
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, post, or via an online application form). Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data will be carried out in compliance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions, and that your data will be treated with strict confidentiality.

Scope and purpose of data collection
If you send us an application, we will process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide whether to establish an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR (general contract initiation), and – if you have given your consent – ​​Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Your consent can be revoked at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be shared with people involved in processing your application.
If your application is successful, the data you submit will be stored in our data processing systems based on Section 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Article 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.

Data retention period
If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer, or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted for up to six months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application) based on our legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. This retention period serves primarily as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the six-month period (e.g., due to impending or pending legal proceedings), it will only be deleted when the purpose for further retention no longer applies. Longer retention periods may also apply if you have given your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR) or if statutory retention periods prevent deletion.

Inclusion in the applicant pool
If we do not make you a job offer, you may have the opportunity to be included in our applicant pool. If you are accepted, all documents and information from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool so that we can contact you if suitable vacancies arise.
Admission to the applicant pool is based solely on your express consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). Providing your consent is voluntary and has no connection to the ongoing application process. The data subject may revoke their consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted unless there are legal reasons for retention.
The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent is given.
