can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for.
It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating by

Unless a more specific retention period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will
remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate
request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless
we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods
under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion occurs after these reasons cease to
apply.
General Information on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR
or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data according to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the
case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also
based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information
on your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on § 25(1)
TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we
process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is
necessary to fulfill a legal obligation based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried
out based on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information about the relevant
legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Recipients of Personal Data
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. Transferring personal
data to these external parties is sometimes necessary. We only share personal data if it is required
for contract fulfillment, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., data transfer to tax authorities), if we
have a legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits data
transfer. When using processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers based on a valid
data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is
concluded.
Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke
consent that has already been given 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 Advertising (Art. 21
GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT 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 PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR
INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE, OR DEFEND
LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH
ADVERTISING PURPOSES; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING, INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH
DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE
USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to File Complaints with Regulatory Authorities
If there has been a breach of data protection legislation, the person affected may file a complaint
with the competent regulatory authorities, particularly in the member state where they have their
habitual residence, place of work, or where the alleged breach occurred. The right to file 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 automatically on the basis of your consent or in
fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-
readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only
be done if it is technically feasible.
Access, Correction, and Deletion
Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free
information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data
processing and, if applicable, 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 Restriction of 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. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following
cases:
- • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need
time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the
restriction of the processing of your personal data. - • If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you can request the
restriction of the data processing instead of the deletion. - • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense, or
assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the
processing of your personal data instead of the deletion. - • If you have filed an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck
between your and our interests. As long as it is not clear 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, such data may only be
processed—apart from its storage—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 an important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
SSL or TLS Encryption
This page uses 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.
You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser address bar from
“http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third
parties.
Objection to Advertising Emails
The use of contact data published as part of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited
advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages
explicitly reserve the right to take legal action in the case of unsolicited advertising
information, such as spam emails.
3. Data Collection on This Website
Cookies
Our website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packages and do not harm your device.
They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently
(persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after the end of your
visit. Persistent 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 third parties (so-called third-party cookies). Third-
party cookies allow the integration of certain services from third parties within websites (e.g.,
cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website
functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or displaying videos). Other
cookies can be used for analyzing user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are required for the completion of an electronic communication process, to provide
certain functions you desire (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g.,
cookies for measuring web audience) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal
basis is provided. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to
provide his services without technical errors and in an optimized manner. If consent has been
requested for storing cookies or using comparable recognition technologies, processing will be based
solely on that consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); the consent can be revoked at any
time.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in
individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and activate the
automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality
of this website may be limited.
Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

Our website uses the consent technology from Complianz to obtain your consent for storing certain
cookies on your device or for using certain technologies, and to document this in compliance with
data protection laws. The provider of this technology is Complianz B.V., Kalmarweg 14-5, 9723 JG
Groningen, Netherlands (hereinafter “Complianz”).
Complianz is hosted on our servers, so no connection is made to Complianz’s provider servers.
Complianz stores a cookie in your browser to assign your given consents or their withdrawal. The
data collected in this way will be stored until you request deletion, delete the Complianz cookieyourself, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory legal retention obligations
remain unaffected.
The use of Complianz is done to obtain the legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal
basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
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 browser version
- • Operating system used
- • Referrer URL
- • Hostname of the accessing computer
- • Time of the server request
- • IP address
This data will not be merged with other data sources.
The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate
interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of his website – for this purpose,
the server log files need to be collected.
Inquiries by Email, Phone, or Fax
If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your request, including all personal data derived from it
(name, request), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your concern. We do
not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to the fulfillment
of a contract or is required for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases,
processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling the inquiries directed to us (Art.
6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be
revoked at any time.
The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke
your consent for storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after the
processing of your concern is completed). Mandatory legal provisions – particularly legal retention
periods – remain unaffected.
AI Translation
Our app uses AI-powered translation features to improve the user experience. When using the
translation function, the text input may be processed by the AI to provide accurate and efficient
translations. Beyond the required AI processing, we do not store or share your data with third
parties.

6. Our Own Services
Handling of Applicant Data
We offer you the opportunity to apply with us (e.g., by email, by post, or via online application form).
Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected as part of
the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data will be in
accordance with applicable data protection laws and all other legal regulations, and that your data
will be treated as strictly confidential.
Scope and Purpose of Data Collection
When you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and
communication data, application documents, notes made during interviews, etc.) to the extent
necessary to make a decision regarding the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal
basis for this is § 26 BDSG under 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. Consent can
be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be shared within our company with persons
involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems
based on § 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of executing the employment
relationship.
Data Retention Period
If we do not make you a job offer, if you reject a job offer, or if you withdraw your application, we
reserve the right to retain the data you submitted based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)
GDPR) for up to 6 months after the completion of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of
the application). After this period, the data will be deleted, and physical application documents will
be destroyed. The retention serves particularly for proof purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If it
is evident that the data will be required after the 6-month period (e.g., due to a pending or ongoing
legal dispute), deletion will only occur once the reason for further retention no longer applies.
A longer retention period may also apply if you have given corresponding 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, there may be an opportunity to include you in our applicant pool.
In the case of inclusion, all documents and information from your application will be transferred to
the applicant pool to contact you in the event of suitable vacancies.
Inclusion in the applicant pool is solely based on your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Providing
consent is voluntary and has no relation to the current application process. The data subject can withdraw their consent at any time. In this case, the data in the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, unless there are legal retention reasons.
Data in the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent is given.
