Notice on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries
We use tools from companies based in the USA or other data protection non-compliant third countries. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We point out that in these countries, no data protection level comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed. For example, US companies are required to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It cannot, therefore, be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) may process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.
Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke an already given consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected
by the revocation.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING AT ANY TIME; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).
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. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data that we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract automatically handed over to yourself or a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.
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 site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser 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.
Information, Deletion, and Correction
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information at any time about your stored personal data, its origin, and recipients, and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, a right to correct or delete this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
- If you have lodged an objection according to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may only be processed—with the exception of storage—with your consent or for the assertion, 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.
Objection to Advertising Emails
The use of contact data published as part of the imprint obligation to send unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the site expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising, such as spam emails.

In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular, retention periods—remain unaffected.

5. Social Media
Social Media Plugins with Shariff
Plugins from social media are used on this website (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, XING, LinkedIn, Tumblr).
You can usually recognize the plugins by the respective social media logos. To ensure data protection on this website, we only use these plugins together with the so-called "Shariff" solution. This application prevents the plugins integrated into this website from transmitting data to the respective provider as soon as you enter the page.
Only when you activate the respective plugin by clicking on the corresponding button is a direct connection to the provider's server established (consent). As soon as you activate the plugin, the respective provider receives the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you are simultaneously logged into your respective social media account (e.g., Facebook), the respective provider can assign the visit to this website to your user account.
The activation of the plugin constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

We would like to point out that we, as the provider of the site, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Instagram.
The storage and analysis of data are based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in achieving the highest possible visibility in social media. If a corresponding consent was requested, the processing is carried out exclusively based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, as far as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) as defined by TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.
As far as the tool described here collects personal data on our website and forwards it to Facebook or Instagram, we are jointly responsible for this data processing with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (Art. 26 GDPR). The joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of the data and its transfer to Facebook or Instagram. The processing by Facebook or Instagram after the transfer is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent on us jointly have been set out in an agreement on joint processing. The wording of the agreement can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/
legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing the data protection information when using the Facebook or Instagram tool and for the data protection-compliant implementation of the tool on our website. For the data security of Facebook or Instagram products, Facebook is responsible. Data subject rights (e.g., requests for information) regarding the data processed by Facebook or Instagram can be asserted directly with Facebook. If you assert the rights of data subjects with us, we are obliged to forward them to Facebook.
Data transmission to the USA is based on the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/

Matomo uses technologies that enable cross-site recognition of users for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Matomo about the use of this website is stored on our server. The IP address is anonymized before storage.
With the help of Matomo, we can collect and analyze data on the use of our website by visitors.

The consent can be revoked at any time.
Hosting
We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers, so all analysis data remains with us and is not passed on.
7. Newsletters
Newsletter Data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use newsletter service providers to handle the newsletters, which are described below.
Rapidmail
This website uses Rapidmail to send newsletters. The provider is rapidmail GmbH, Augustinerplatz 2, 79098 Freiburg i.Br., Germany.
Rapidmail is a service that, among other things, organizes and analyzes the sending of newsletters. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter is stored on Rapidmail's servers in Germany.
Data Analysis by Rapidmail
For the purpose of analysis, the emails sent with Rapidmail contain a so-called "tracking pixel," which connects to Rapidmail's servers when the email is opened. This way, it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened.
Additionally, we can use Rapidmail to determine whether and which links in the newsletter message have been clicked. All links in the email are tracking links that can be used to count your clicks. If you do not want analysis by Rapidmail, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in each newsletter message.
For more details on Rapidmail's analysis features, see the following link: https://de.rapidmail.wiki/
kategorien/statistiken/.
Legal Basis
Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Storage Duration
The data you provide for the purpose of receiving 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 that has been stored for other purposes remains unaffected by this.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if necessary, to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is only used for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This is in both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

8. Plugins and Tools
YouTube with Enhanced Data Protection
This website embeds YouTube videos. The operator of the site is 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 information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the transfer of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the enhanced data protection mode. Thus, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you watch a video.
Once you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. In doing so, the YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your browsing behavior directly to 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 collect information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud attempts.
Further data processing operations may be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no control.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of an attractive presentation
of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, as far as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

9. eCommerce and Payment Providers
Processing Data (Customer and Contract Data)
We collect, process, and use personal data only to the extent necessary for establishing, structuring, or amending the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process, and use personal data about the use of this website (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable the user to use the service or bill them.
The collected customer data will be deleted after the order has been completed or the business relationship has ended. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
Data Transfer at the Conclusion of a Contract for Services and Digital Content
We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary in the context of contract processing, for example, to the credit institution entrusted with payment processing.
A further transmission of the data does not take place or only if you have expressly
consented to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example, for advertising purposes.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
10. Own Services
Handling of Applicant Data
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, post, or via an online application form). In the following, 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 are in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions and that your data will be treated strictly confidentially.
Scope and Purpose of Data Collection
If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes from job interviews, etc.), as far as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG according to German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation), and—if you have given consent—Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons involved in the processing of your application.
If the application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems based on § 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) 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, withdraw your application, or withdraw your consent, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be deleted, and the physical application documents destroyed. The retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g., due to a pending or imminent legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further retention no longer applies.
Longer retention may also occur if you have given your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
Inclusion in the Applicant Pool
If we do not make you a job offer, you may be included in our applicant pool. If included, all documents and details from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool to contact you in case of suitable vacancies.
Inclusion in the applicant pool is based solely on your express consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). The provision of consent is voluntary and is not related 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, provided that there are no legal retention obligations.
The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted at the latest two years after consent has been given.
