2. Data processing via the website
2.1 General notes on data processing
Your visit to our website is logged. Initially, the following data, which your browser transmits to us, is recorded:
- the IP address currently used by your PC or your router
- Date and time
- Browser type and version
- the operating system of your PC
- the pages you have viewed
- Name and size of the requested file(s)
- and, if applicable, the URL of the referring website.
This data is only collected for the purposes of data security, to improve our web offer and for error analysis based on Art. 6 para.1 f DSGVO. We reserve the right to use this data in the event of system abuse in order to determine the reasons and the trigger of the abuse, as well as to take legal action if necessary. Incidentally, the IP address of your computer is only evaluated anonymously (shortened by the last 3 digits).
You can visit our website without providing any personal information.
We point out that data transmission over the Internet (eg communication by e-mail) security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. You should therefore send us confidential data by other means, e.g. by post.
2.2 Applications
The controller processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. The legal basis is § 26 para. 1 p.1 BDSG. The processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends corresponding application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via a web form located on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions.
If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be deleted, taking into account the statutory provisions, after the advertised job has been filled, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller conflict with such deletion.
Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). For this purpose, the data will be stored for 6 months after completion of the application procedure and subsequently deleted.
If you have consented to be included in our talent pool, we will also store your data in order to take your application data into account in the event of further vacancies at our company. For this purpose, we store your data for 18 months and then delete it. The legal basis is your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 a DSGVO.
We can only process applications if they are submitted via our application portal. If you use another e-mail address from our company, your application will unfortunately not be considered. Please remember that an e-mail is not a secure medium.
3. Contact
Personal data (e.g. your name, address data or contact data) that you provide to us voluntarily, e.g. in the context of an inquiry or in any other way, will be stored by us and processed only for correspondence with you and only for the purpose for which you provided us with this data. The processing of this data is based on our legitimate interest in a prompt response to inquiries from interested parties on the basis of Art 6 para.1 lit. f. DSGVO.
3.1 Secure data transmission
To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use a state-of-the-art encryption process (SSL) via HTTPS.
3.2 Recipients of personal data
We may use service providers by way of commissioned data processing to carry out and handle processing operations.
Specifically, we have engaged service providers for our applicant portal, as well as for the hosting of our website.
With our service providers, the contractual relationships are regulated in accordance with the provisions of Art. 28 DSGVO, which contain the legally required points on data protection and data security.

The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings.
