3. Data Collection on Our Website

Server Log Files
The provider of this website 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, and IP address. This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of their website.

Cookies
Our website uses exclusively technically necessary cookies that are strictly required for the proper functioning of the website (e.g., session cookies for security). No tracking of your user behavior for marketing purposes takes place. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f GDPR and § 25 Abs. 2 TTDSG respectively.

4. Contact Inquiries & Applicant Management

Inquiry via Email or Phone
If you contact us, your inquiry including all resulting personal data (name, contact details, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. Processing is based on Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f GDPR) in the effective processing of inquiries directed to us.

Handling of Applicant Data
We offer you the opportunity to apply for positions with us. We process the data you submit to us as part of your application (e.g., cover letter, CV, certificates). The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b GDPR. If we cannot offer you a job, we will delete your data no later than 6 months after notification of rejection, unless you have consented to longer storage.

5. Newsletter Dispatch

Registration via Website & Contact Form
You have the option to subscribe to our newsletter at any time free of charge via a dedicated registration page or by checking the corresponding box (checkbox) in our contact form. In both cases, we require a valid email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address. If you register via the contact form, the data you entered there relevant for newsletter distribution will be transferred to our newsletter mailing list. Registration is always carried out using a so-called double opt-in procedure to ensure that you agree to receive the newsletter.

Legal Basis & Revocation
The processing of this data takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your given consent to the storage of data, the email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "Unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

Storage Period & Service Providers
The data you store with us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the mailing list after cancellation. If we use an external service provider for distribution, we have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with them to guarantee the security of your data.

6. Hosting

External Hosting
This website is hosted by an external service provider (host). The personal data collected on this website is stored on the host's servers. The use of the host is for the purpose of contract fulfillment with our customers (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast, and efficient provision of our online offering by a professional provider (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f GDPR). To ensure data protection-compliant processing, we have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with our host.

7. Storage Period & Data Transmission

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to apply. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods of up to 10 years).

We generally do not pass on your data to third parties unless this is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, we are legally obliged to do so, or you have expressly consented. Data transmission to third countries (outside the EU/EEA) does not take place.

8. Data Security (SSL or TLS Encryption)

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

9. Your Rights

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions (GDPR), you have the following rights regarding your personal data at any time:

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority:
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged violation.
